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

In the woods outside the city

Mo Lin looked at the corpse in the pit with an expressionless face. He put away the bloody sword, lit the tinder and threw it down. Looking at the blazing flames, he said casually, "Ada, watch over here. Second and third brothers, follow me."

"Yes, uncle."

The three of them dodged and came to a small courtyard.

Dong'er walked out with a basin in her hand and saw three people standing in the yard. She was startled and screamed subconsciously. The basin in her hand fell to the ground and was caught by the second brother.

Mo Lin walked closer: "You were the one who sent me the letter, right? Was it your own idea or your young lady's?"

"Slave...slave doesn't know what you are talking about."

"Very good, since you don't know, your young lady must know. Second brother, watch her and I will go in and ask clearly."

As he said this, he slipped into the house and slammed the door shut.

Bai Xianxian was sitting in front of the dressing table. When she heard the noise, she smiled and said, "You're here, pretty quick. I thought it would take two or three days for you to come see me. Xiaoxiao is fine now, right?"

Mo Lin's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "Why? She trusts you so much, how could you have the heart to poison her, and such a strong aphrodisiac, do you want her to die?"

"Haha, if it's not against my will, do you think I'd be willing to do such a thing? If you want to know who's behind this, do me a favor and I'll give you one thing to do."

"I will tell you everything you want to know, and you can take my life at any time. You can cut me into pieces if you want."

Bai Xianxian turned around, her face full of determination: "Mo Lin, you should actually thank me. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to accomplish it so quickly. If it weren't for me, Xiaoxiao would have been abused by those beggars a long time ago."

"I could have kept it from you and made you suffer more, but I didn't do that. I just wanted you to help me. Just do one thing. Don't worry, I'm not killing anyone. I'm just trying to save my family."

Mo Lin frowned and looked at her, his eyes full of distrust.

The two faced each other.

"Okay, tell me who you're saving. I won't kill you after we save the person, but you have to testify and identify the person behind it. I think you can do it."

Bai Xianxian smiled bitterly: "Okay, as long as my family can survive, I can identify him. It doesn't matter if he dies afterwards. It's the same death whether he dies at your hands or at his hands."

Mo Lin's expression was cold: "Tell me, where are the people, how many are there?"

The night gradually darkens

Several shadows flashed by and landed at the Prime Minister's Mansion, running all the way towards the tunnel. After an unknown amount of time, each of them carried a person on their back and flew past.

There was a knock on the door

Bai Xianxian stood up quickly, opened the door, looked at them and said anxiously, "Mo Lin, have you rescued the person?"

Mo Lin hummed and didn't say anything more.

He threw the person to the ground and motioned for her to go and see for herself.

With a thud, Bai Xianxian knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you for saving my family. It was not my intention to hurt Xiaoxiao. I admit that I approached you in the beginning because I wanted to marry into the Mo family. I had ulterior motives."

"After that... a lot of things happened, and I figured it out. As long as that person doesn't fall, I will be a pawn. When my body completely collapses, my family will still be killed."

"Instead of that, it's better to find a way to survive on your own. That's why I asked Dong'er to deliver the letter to you. Now it seems that my bet was right."

Mo Lin rolled his eyes. If he didn't want to take down the person behind the scenes, he wouldn't leave him alive. It was so troublesome and annoying. If his elder brother was here, there would definitely be a simpler way.

He raised his head and said, "That's enough. I don't want to hear this. Tell me about the person behind you. We still have important things to do. Your family will send them away after we deal with the person behind you."

"Stay far away. Even if the person behind this wants to take action, it won't be that easy. Tell me everything."

Bai Xianxian knelt on the ground and spoke slowly.

After hearing this, Mo Lin's face turned completely black. He wanted to kill the man right away. It was really shameless. The imperial concubine was dead and the third prince was gone, but he still didn't know how to restrain himself.

Do you really think that the Mohist School is unconnected and easy to bully, you old fool?

"Lin Xiao, take her away and keep her under strict watch. I'm going back to the mansion to ask my father what to do. If everything goes well this time, maybe we can make the Prime Minister..."

Mohist Backyard

After hearing what her son said, Mo Zhuo Qiao Shu was so angry that her teeth itched: "It's the Xue family again, those old bastards, they just want to make things difficult for us, right? This time they even dared to touch the little princess."

"Let's go to the palace and ask His Majesty for justice. It just so happens that His Majesty has been unhappy with the Prime Minister recently and has not given him face in the court. If we give this handle to His Majesty, it may be more useful."

The couple looked at each other and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that this was appropriate.

But there is still one person missing. If the Marquis also goes to cry and complain, the effect will definitely be better. His Majesty is unhappy with the Mohists and the Prime Minister, but he thinks highly of the old Marquis.

Qiao Shu said, "My husband, please go to the Marquis' Mansion and go to the palace with the Marquis. Bring Bai Xianxian into the palace. You must bite the bullet this time. You must not kill that old man. At least he cannot be in the capital."

"Otherwise, we are in the open while he is in the dark. Who knows what tricks he will use in the future? It's too tiring to be on guard all the time. It's better to get rid of him."

"Let's create some more accidents on the way..."

Mo Zhuo's eyes flashed with understanding, and he nodded and said, "My wife is right. I know what to do about this matter. Lin'er, come with me and go to the palace together."

"After entering the palace, you have to do this and do it again, you know."

Mo Lin's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly: "Dad, I understand. It's just acting. I can do it. Don't worry."

After they came out of the palace and got on the carriage, they looked at each other and all the seriousness on their faces disappeared. They burst into laughter. The Marquis looked even more happy: "It's great. Xue has been transferred out. It's hard to say whether he can return to the capital until he dies."

"When he leaves, how can his right-hand men in the court be so obedient? I will chop them off one by one and see how capable he is."

The old marquis' eyes were burning. If it weren't for Mo Lin, his granddaughter would have been gone too. The pain of losing a son, if he had another granddaughter, he really wouldn't be able to bear it at his age.

"Mo Lin, my Xiao Xiao will be handed over to you from now on. If she is naughty and ignorant, you can write to me at any time and I will teach her a lesson, but you can't teach her a lesson."

"In the capital, you are her support. If you teach her a lesson, that girl will become stubborn and I don't know how sad she will be. Do you understand what I mean?"

Mo Lin said solemnly: "Don't worry, my Lord. My Mo family has its own rules. My wife will not be wrong. Even if there is a mistake, it must be because of my husband's fault. If I bully Xiaoxiao, my mother will skin me alive."

"Haha, that's good. I can rest assured when I leave Beijing in the future."
