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

After Jiang Li and the other person returned, they looked at each other tacitly, waited for the guards to relax their vigilance, slipped out, and flew towards Qianwei Inn. This kind of brain-tightening matter needed to be decided by the eldest brother.

Mo Jue was lying on the bed. He heard a gentle knock on the window. He opened his eyes and sat up. He took out a dagger from under the pillow and looked alert: "Who?"

"Brother, are you asleep? It's me."

"……Princess?"

"Why are you here so late?"

Jiang Li didn't think much about it and said casually: "Oh, I have something to ask you. It's not convenient to have people watching you during the day. I thought that it would be a good time to come to you at night when there is no one around."

Mo Jue: Appropriate? It's even more inappropriate at night.

The princess was a child at heart and didn't quite understand the differences between men and women, but he had to understand that if a man and a woman were alone in the same room and were seen by others, how could they explain it? What would their third brother think? They all needed to avoid suspicion.

He opened his mouth and was about to say something.

A familiar voice came from outside the window: "Brother, put on your clothes, I am here too, and I just want to discuss something with you, it's very important."

Well, if he had known that his third brother was coming, why would he still be avoiding suspicion here?

Shen Jue lifted the quilt, quickly put on his clothes, and tidied the quilt. In just a few moments, he walked to the window, opened it, and looked at the two people squatting outside, with a twitching corner of his mouth.

"...Come in. What's the matter that requires you to come here so late at night?"

The two of them went in through the window, sat at the table, and poured themselves some tea. Jiang Li took out the oil paper bag, opened it, and said, "Come on, let's talk while we eat, there's no rush."

The three of them sat down, and Shen Jue looked at them: "What happened?"

Mo Yuan briefly explained the matter, looked at his solemn expression, and said softly: "Brother, should we go and look for the treasure? Could it be that they have planned it? Otherwise, why would they tell the news of the treasure?"

"If you can't get it, why would you tell others to share the treasure? If you want to go, it will definitely be very dangerous."

Mo Jue looked at them with a look of certainty: "Haven't you already decided? Otherwise, there's no need to come all this way. You can just not tell me and we can just collect the tribute and go back."

"Since I've come this far, I guess I've decided to go."

"Yes, nothing can be hidden from my brother."

Jiang Li ate his food and said nonchalantly, "It's okay. It's just tomb robbing. I used to do that often... um, what I mean is, since those are treasures left by the emperors of the five countries, naturally there should be a share for my great-grandfather."

"If we don't take it back, it will be a pity. If we have this treasure, we will be more confident when recruiting soldiers in the future. The most important thing is that even if we can't find it, it won't be a big problem for us to escape."

"Well, the premise is that there won't be a volcanic eruption, otherwise we will all be reduced to ash."

Mo Jue was silent for a long time: "Princess, it is better not to talk about things like volcanic eruptions. It is too unlucky. Once you encounter one, the whole army will be wiped out."

Jiang Li touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I forgot that I have a bad mouth. Just pretend I didn't say anything just now."

"Brother, we will prepare the things you need in the next three days. Then I will go with A Yuan. You wait for us at the inn. Don't worry, we will be fine. I am here. Even if I have to dig a hole, I will bring the person out safely."

An idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he thought of something good. He said excitedly: "Brother Yuan, I have an idea. Even if we encounter a volcanic eruption, we can still get out safely. You haven't heard of hot air balloons, right?"

"You've seen a Kongming lantern, right? I want to make one and put it in space. If we really run into it, we can't outrun the molten lava, but we can take a hot air balloon and fly into the sky. This way, our chances of survival will be much greater."

The two brothers looked at each other with confusion in their eyes. Even if the Kongming lantern was enlarged, it couldn't hold people. What if it was too high? Wouldn't it be death if someone fell down?

"What is this hot air balloon? Is it a Kongming lantern that can hold people? Why have I never heard of it before? Is this something a princess can make?"

Jiang Li shook his head: "I only know the theory, I have never put it into practice. That is why I want to give it a try. If it works, even if we encounter the worst volcanic eruption, we can get out safely."

Mo Jue nodded and agreed, "That makes sense. Tell me what you need. I'll go out to buy something tomorrow, and you can come to the inn to make it. We'll try and see if it works."

"Okay, then I'll write it to you, brother. No, I'll report it to you. My handwriting is too ugly."

"……it is good"

Over the next three days, Jiang Li tried again and again, and finally made a simple version of a hot air balloon. He went to the suburbs to try it out, and after confirming that it worked, he breathed a sigh of relief and put the thing into the space.

In order to facilitate living in the Death Forest, Jiang Li prepared simple tents, simple toilets, and modern-style windbreakers. Although they were simple versions, they were much safer than going in wearing a skirt.

There are several sets for each of them, which is convenient for changing after entering.

After listening to the uses of each item, the two brothers looked at her with shining eyes and said in unison: "Princess, Xiaoli is really amazing. He can even make such a good treasure. Now that we enter the Forest of Death, we don't have to worry about sleeping."

Jiang Li nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we don't know when we can get out after we go in. We must solve the problem of life. Otherwise, no matter how energetic a person is, he can't do without rest."

With the list in hand, I checked it one by one, and only felt relieved after making sure that nothing was missed.

These were all she could think of. The main idea was to be prepared. Since there was space anyway, it would be okay to prepare more. As long as she was careful and made sure that the secret of the space was not known to others, it would be fine.

Jiang Li pointed and said, "A Yuan, that is a mountaineering bag. Try it out. I asked the boss to make it overnight. It is made of very strong fabric and has waterproof fabric inside. It will be fine even if it falls into water."

Mo Yuan nodded and followed her example, a smile on his face: "It's very convenient and hidden. No one can see what's inside."

The two looked at each other and laughed. Yes, it was because it was hidden that it would not be easy for them to expose the space when they took out things. They would naturally be more relaxed in the Death Forest.

Mo Jue gave them a few instructions and sent them out.

When they arrived at the temple and looked at the one or two hundred people, a flash of understanding flashed in their eyes. As expected, when it comes to treasure, no country is willing to let go.

He walked to Su Xuemei's side, stretched out his hand and tugged at her sleeve. When she turned back, he whispered, "Sister Su, you brought so many people with you. They all have to go, right?"
