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

In the deep passage, there was dead silence.

Mo Yuan held her hand and looked around vigilantly. A drop of water fell on his face. He raised his hand and wiped it off. He subconsciously raised his head and saw something. He stopped and stood still.

"how……"

Before he could finish his words, a big hand covered his mouth. He looked up along his line of sight, his pupils shrank, and the hairs on his back stood up. The densely packed things hanging above his head, could they not be humans?

"Shh, don't make any noise. If someone gets scared and panics, they might trigger the mechanism. We should just pretend we didn't see anything."

Jiang Li nodded obediently and regained his composure, with some curiosity in his eyes. Where did these things come from? Were they burial figurines, or were they corpses hung directly? What was the purpose of doing this?

He looked calm on the outside, but in his heart he was slandering his ancestors who had cheated him. He did all these things for no reason. They didn't scare anyone, but they were annoying. It was really painful to find a treasure. That volcano could erupt at any time...

Pulling his hand away, Jiang Li opened his mouth, but before he could say anything he was interrupted by a scream: "Ahhh, there is, there is a ghost."

"Help...Help!!"

One person was running around in the crowd like a madman, stumbling here and there and bumping into something. There was a click and the sound of gears turning, and the ground began to shake.

Mo Yuan held the person in his arms, used his body to block the rubble above, and dodged from above... The falling terracotta warriors were approaching inside, and the exit was likely blocked, so they could only move forward.

Xue Ling shouted coldly, "Come here, catch him. Don't walk around or you'll trigger the trap. The rest of you, follow me and leave here quickly."

A group of people ran inside. The shaking ground and things falling from above were slowing them down. From time to time, screams and faint chewing sounds could be heard behind them.

Jiang Li suspected that he had heard it wrong. How could there be such a sound here? The chewing sound made by the zombies eating was as if it was engraved in his bones, making his scalp tingle.

"A Yuan, did you hear that strange sound? It sounds a bit like the sound people make when they eat."

"…No, what happened to Xiaoli? But something seems wrong."

Mo Yuan dodged while trying his best to get through.

Jiang Li shook his head: "Nothing, maybe I heard it wrong, the most important thing is to escape first, don't worry about the other things."

The stone door in front opened and dozens of people rushed in. The stone door closed quickly after they entered. After looking around, they found that this was a room with stone walls on all sides.

It was an empty room with nothing to see. There were some exquisite murals on the stone walls, but nothing else.

Jiang Li touched the empty city plan's belly, tugged at Mo Yuan's sleeve, and whispered, "Ah Yuan, this is a good place to eat. Let's eat something first and talk about the rest later."

Mo Yuan: "...Okay, this place is surrounded by walls, there must be a mechanism to open the stone door and get out. Let's take a rest and eat something first, otherwise there will be something behind us and we won't have the strength to run."

"Yeah, that's right, eating is the most important thing."

The two of them found a corner, took out the dried meat, and sat in the corner to eat. Well, it was a bit tooth-wrecking, but it could help to resist hunger and didn’t take up much space. Dried meat was a must-have for traveling as a monk.

Xue Ling glanced at them, put away the map, and clapped her hands: "Everyone sit down and rest, eat something, and then we will find a way out. Don't touch the things on the wall."

"Yes"

Jiang Li finished a palm-sized piece of jerky in no time and was about to take out some more to eat, but his eyes met those smiling eyes. He stopped holding the meat and pulled it out as if nothing had happened.

Damn it, that dead smiling tiger, why is he staring at her? If she doesn't control herself and eats, the bag will be empty soon. If she has food again at that time, she will definitely be suspected.

She has already revealed her lightning ability, so she must not expose the space, otherwise... after she gets out of here, no matter whether she has collected all the treasures or not, several countries will suspect her and point the finger at Qi State.

Damn it. She needs to be more restrained when eating next time. She should find a way to separate from them as soon as possible. Otherwise, someone will be watching her from behind. How can she eat her fill?

Mo Yuan knew how much she ate, and when he saw that she didn't want to eat anymore, he gave her the dried meat in his hand and said, "I'm not hungry, you can eat it."

Jiang Li pursed his lips helplessly and pushed the dried meat back: "It's okay, I'll be enough to fill it up. We still have to find a way to separate from them, otherwise we will be hungry all the time."

"Oh, I still have to count the dry food in my bag to eat, how frustrating..."

"Okay, after we finish eating, we'll find a way out and go our separate ways."

a moment later

Xue Ling stood up and stood in front of the mural, looking at it, moving slowly with a frown on her face, not knowing what she was thinking.

Jiang Li got up, dusted himself off, stood aside and scanned the paintings on the wall. Images kept flashing in his mind, and finally he sorted out a line and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

He tugged at the sleeve of the person next to him, looking as if he had been struck by lightning.

"A Yuan, let me tell you a story. The stories on these murals are so ridiculous that they are unbearable."

"……Um??"

Jiang Li had a look of disgust on her face as she kept talking. Others couldn't help but look at her and listen with their ears pricked up. From time to time, their faces showed various complex emotions such as surprise, regret, and resentment.

"Hoo, hoo, I need to drink some water to calm down. I am really pissed off by my ancestors. For a woman like this, I am still sad. What is this? This is a top fishing girl."

"My great-grandfather was so wise and brave, but in the end she was the only one who caught a fish. This is unacceptable. When I return to Qi Kingdom, I must share this with my father to show him how stupid he was. My father must have inherited his IQ from his ancestor."

Everyone: ...Emperor Ming has such a daughter. She is able to live so long without being angry to death. It is quite amazing. Suddenly, I feel that his previous cowardly appearance has become a little great.

Mo Yuan felt helpless after listening to this. This sounds complicated, but it is actually simple if you think about it. It's just a stunning beauty who was hanging around with emperors of five countries at the same time, and finally married the emperor of Yu country and became the queen.

After she fooled the others, she still wanted to get the treasure, so she pretended to be pitiful, used the beauty trap, and the self-torture trick one after another, and finally fooled them into burying the treasure at the foot of the Yu Kingdom volcano.

Her purpose, of course, was to keep it for herself in the future, but she didn't know what accident happened, and before she could act, this place was sealed up. Perhaps it was a craftsman, or perhaps there was an emperor here.

But the result is obviously not good, I am afraid I will be trapped and die for the rest of my life.

Jiang Li wiped his face and looked at Xue Ling coldly: "You are a Yu countryman, don't say you don't know about this matter, even if you don't know all of it, you should know part of it."
