Traveling through troubled times: Princess disguises herself as a man and becomes a soldier to earn

Secret Road

Lan Xin woke up slowly and when she was about to get up, she found that her hands and feet were tied up and she was lying on the ground, unable to move. She looked around and saw that it was obviously a dark room.

She frowned, wondering who had the guts to tie her up, when she heard footsteps behind her.

Seeing that she woke up, Jiang Li moved closer step by step.

After Lan Xin saw who was coming, she was surprised: "Why is it you, Princess? What is your intention in tying me up here? Aren't you afraid that the Imperial Concubine will find out and His Majesty will blame you?"

"What? I even punished my father without mercy, so why would I be afraid of his blame? His blame is nothing."

"Tell me, who is the man who is hanging out with the imperial concubine? Whose child is Third Brother? It's definitely not Father's, right?"

Jiang Li sat on a chair, taking a piece of pastry from the table beside him and eating it slowly. Although he was being interrogated, he couldn't let his stomach go to waste and die of hunger.

Lan Xin was a little dazed by her straight ball. After she came to her senses, she closed her eyes and pretended to be dead. She had been serving the empress all the time. If she was caught, the empress would soon be worried and would send someone to find her.

So she couldn't say it, she absolutely couldn't say it. If she said it and the imperial concubine found out, her whole family would be in trouble. If she didn't say it, she could delay some time and wait for the imperial concubine to come find her.

She knew so many secrets of the imperial concubine, she would definitely not fail to look for her.

Jiang Li looked at the person lying on the ground with his eyes closed pretending to be dead, and said with a sigh: "Why, so loyal? Did the imperial concubine promise you that after the matter is accomplished, you and your family will enjoy wealth and glory for the rest of your life?"

“Alas, another poor man who was deceived.

You have been with the Imperial Concubine for so long, don't you know that she is always ruthless and cruel? How could she leave anyone alive? You will be killed immediately when you are no longer useful. I am a kind-hearted person and I cannot bear to see others being deceived by the Imperial Concubine. Come, I will take you to see the truth."

"At this hour, if we go out, we can still catch the show."

Lan Xin opened her eyes, her eyes full of disbelief. The Queen had promised her that she would take good care of her family and let them live a good life, so how could she do something to her family?

The eldest princess was really scheming, trying to alienate her from her loyalty to the queen. Humph, she wouldn't be fooled.

Jiang Li squatted down, tore off a piece of cloth from her skirt and stuffed it directly into her mouth. They were going to watch a good show later, but he couldn't let her scream out, otherwise how could he watch the whole show?

He grabbed her by the scruff of the neck, came out of the dark room, jumped on the roof, came to a small courtyard, landed on the roof, looked at the people hiding around, and squinted his eyes.

He lowered his voice and said, "We're here. The show is about to begin. Open your eyes and see. Your so-called loyalty is shit in the eyes of the other party. If you choose the wrong person, you will pay the price."

Lan Xin lay on the roof and turned her face away. She would never believe it. This must be a show by the princess.

Not long after, several dark shadows landed in the yard and walked towards the house. Jiang Li was afraid that she couldn't see clearly, so he moved the tiles away so that she could see clearly what was happening in the house.

An elderly couple was eating in the house when they heard the door slam open. They were startled and stood up to scold someone when they saw a flash of silver light and a head fell to the ground, rolling around.

The other person was so scared that he was about to scream. The man pinched his neck. With a click, his head tilted to the side and his body slid to the ground, his eyes still wide open.

The man in black came in and said respectfully, "Sir, it has been dealt with. Should we set fire to this place?"

"Well, let's release it. We should go back and report to the Queen."

Lan Xin, who was on the roof, saw this scene and her eyes widened with tears in them. She looked at this scene in disbelief. No way, how could her father, mother, brother, and nephew be killed.

Why does that man's voice sound so familiar?

As the fire spread, the man in black dodged and left. Jiang Li picked up the man lying on the ground and said, "It's time to go. I want to see who that man belongs to. I'm kind enough to let you take a look."

Lan Xin stared at her with resentment. What a vicious person! They could have saved her family. Her Majesty was right. The eldest princess deserved to die, and so did the queen. People as vicious as them did not deserve to live.

Jiang Li shrugged, his eyes full of innocence: "You are vicious, why are you looking at me with hatred? I didn't kill your family, go find whoever killed them."

"I am a person who protects my own people. How can you be considered one of my own? That's why your family members died because of you. If you hadn't followed the wrong master, they wouldn't have died."

"I said I was kind enough to let you see the truth. I specially sent someone to keep an eye on this place. Why can't you tell the difference between good and evil? Let's go. If you go too late, you won't be able to see the truth."

Lan Xin was carried by her and swayed in the air. By the time they reached the palace, she had been swung unconscious.

Seeing this, Jiang Li pulled out his hairpin and stabbed her thigh without hesitation. He watched her wake up and pointed: "Don't look at me, look down there, there's a good show going on inside."

Looking down at the familiar palace, the imperial concubine was wearing luxurious palace clothes, and there was no one around her. A dark shadow flashed in, knelt on the ground, and a low voice sounded: "Your Majesty, it has been dealt with."

"Well, Shen Que, you did a great job on this matter. I heard that you and Lan Xin are very close, so you should keep your mouth shut, so as not to implicate yourself."

The man in black lowered his head and spoke in a cold voice, "That was just her wishful thinking. I was just playing around. After all, it's a waste not to play around with a woman who came to my door. When the queen is done, she will be dead."

When the imperial concubine heard this, she covered her mouth and laughed softly: "Not bad, you are worthy of being the one I like. When you succeed in your mission, the position of the commander of the imperial guards will be yours."

"Ah, Lan Xin served me very well. I feel a little reluctant to get rid of her, but she knew too much, and so did her family. She actually dared to talk nonsense outside. She deserves to die."

"You are a smart person, unlike Lan Xin. I will never do anything to you. Well, it's getting late. Go back early. The banknotes on the table are your reward."

Shen Que stood up, took the banknotes on the table swiftly, and disappeared in a flash.

Lan Xin on the roof twisted her body, her eyes full of resentment and tears falling. She was unwilling to accept it. Why did the Queen treat her like this? She was loyal to the Queen.

And him, she was so infatuated with him that she gave her body to him, but when he killed her parents, brother and sister-in-law, he was so ruthless and heartless. She hated him and wanted them to die miserably.

Ahhhh! !

Seeing that the time was almost right, Jiang Li carried the person back to the secret passage, thinking that Zhui Yun Lengfeng was really useful, he kept a watch on her and gave her such a big surprise. The rest depended on whether this girl was smart or not.

Hatred, if used well, can be a powerful weapon.
