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

Everyone looked at him with resentment in their eyes. No one would feel comfortable knowing that the treasure that belonged to their country was buried in another country by someone else.

I originally thought Xue Ling was magnanimous and brought them together to find the treasure. It turns out that there was something in it that belonged to them. If Yu Country could not keep it all for itself, she would never have told them.

Facing the hostile eyes of the crowd, Si Ling had a calm expression, with a bit of compassion: "Whether this matter is true or not, it is still too early to make a conclusion. They are just some murals. Whoever painted them has the final say."

"Who knows what happened between the emperors of the five countries back then? Didn't your emperor leave behind even a single word after he returned? These are just the eldest princess's guesses."

"Who knows what the truth is? It's better to keep looking for the treasure. Maybe when we find it, we will understand everything."

Wen Ruosheng stood up, with a smile on his gentle face: "Yes, everything will be clear when we find the treasure. We can't just listen to the eldest princess. Everyone knows that her brain is different from others."

"Maybe I'm overthinking it. I might be wrong. Don't let me lead you astray. If there is a war, you will be the ones who suffer the consequences."

"...!!"

The threat in these words is obvious. Yun and Yu are the strongest countries. If they really want to deal with any of them, other countries will be unable to resist. After all, weak countries have no diplomatic relations.

Seeing that there was no more fun to watch, Jiang Li's serious expression disappeared and he said with a smile: "Oh, these are indeed my guesses. I don't know if they are true or not. You can judge for yourself."

"We are all adults, we should have our own judgement. I am just saying it, whether you believe it or not is up to you to decide."

Being stared at, Jiang Li spread her hands out, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. Everyone was so angry that they wanted to beat her to death, but when they thought of the terrible thunder and lightning, they immediately lost their courage.

Xue Ling glanced at her without saying anything, groping on the wall, trying to find the mechanism to open the stone door. An unknown amount of time had passed, but she still found nothing.

I looked sideways and saw someone squatting on the ground, digging something. He shouted, "Princess, what are you doing?"

Jiang Li looked back at him with an innocent look on his face: "I'm digging slates. It's so boring, so I found something to do. Why, do you want to come and dig slates for fun too?"

"...!"

"Did you dig it out?"

"Not yet, but I'm almost there. The gap here is too small, and my finger is a bit thick, so I can't get it in. It's really hard to dig it out."

The two of them talked and answered each other, and the others were a little confused. They didn't know what they were doing. They were supposed to find a switch, but why did they talk about scratching the stone slab? Why would they scratch that? They couldn't take it back.

With a thud, Jiang Li sat down on the ground due to inertia.

He stood up and rubbed his tailbone, grinning and said unhappily: "Ouch, my bones almost broke. What is so hard? Can a stone be so hard?"

In front of them, he exerted force with his hands and peeled off the outer stone skin as easily as peeling soil skin. He continued peeling as if he didn't see everyone's shocked expressions.

Mo Yuan also dug out a piece and tried to pry it apart, but he couldn't.

Helplessly he stood up, looked at the people who were busy, and leaned over: "What is this? It doesn't look like a slate. Slate is not that heavy."

Jiang Li nodded and said softly, "I also think that there is something wrong with this stone slab. It seems that there is something hidden inside. Wait for me to peel it open. Don't look at me. Keep looking for the switch."

"I can't find it, so I just found something to kill time. Otherwise, you guys can dig it up and peel it for fun."

Seeing that they didn't say anything, Jiang Li curled his lips and continued with the work in his hands. Not long after, a long box came out. It was about the size of a palm. No one knew what was inside.

When everyone saw that she had really peeled something out, they stood there in a daze, their faces full of disbelief. How did she do that? How did she know that there was something there? Is it possible for a normal person to do this?

Xue Ling walked over and held out her hand: "Give me the box. There may be clues to unlock this place in it. Don't worry, I'll take a look and return it to you later."

Knowing that the person in front of him could only go in and not leave, it was not easy to take her things. He could just look for some clues. If he really took them away, he would be hunted down to the ends of the earth. He would not be a normal person.

Jiang Lishuang delivered it to him: "Here, take it. I'll continue digging. There are three more slabs that look wrong. I'll peel them off and see if there's anything inside."

"Huh? How do you know there are three pieces that are wrong? The stone slabs here all look the same. How can you tell what's different?"

There was some surprise in Xue Ling's calm eyes.

Jiang Li shrugged, tilted his head, and said as if it was a matter of course: "Everyone knows this. If you walk around, the vibrations from the stone slabs under your feet will feel different."

"Like this one where something has been dug out, the sound will be a little muffled when you step on it. It's different from ordinary stone slabs. The difference is very obvious. How can you not see it? Are you really that stupid?"

Everyone: ...I feel so offended! !

Xue Ling's heart skipped a beat, but she simply ignored the unpleasant words. After opening the box, she looked at the jade pendant with a peace locket inside. Her eyes lit up, and she turned and walked to the wall, looking at a round locket groove on it.

So that's how it is. No wonder he couldn't find the switch. He thought the groove was the bowl in the mural, but it turned out it corresponded to a peace locket. Therefore, the key to open the door is the peace locket.

Since the princess said there are three more pieces, does that mean that there will be corresponding peace locket grooves on the other three walls? If they are all found and put on at the same time, will the door be opened?

Xue Ling was a little excited and looked at the others: "Look around the wall to see if there is such a groove. Maybe the peace lock is the key to get out. Thanks to the princess, otherwise we..."

"I'm afraid I'll be trapped here and never be able to get out."

Jiang Li heard someone calling him, he looked up with a confused look: "What, who is calling me, why are you calling me if there is nothing else to do?"

"…Nothing, Princess, keep digging, we'll be able to get out soon."

"Oh, I got it."

Xue Ling came to her side and watched her peeling the stone skin so easily. She pursed her lips and smiled: "Princess, you are really amazing. You can find such a hidden key."

"If it weren't for you today, we might never get out. Thank you so much, Princess, for saving our lives."

Jiang Li waved his hands, looking nonchalant: "It's okay, it's just a small favor. If you really want to thank me, just give me some of your treasure. I'm not interested in empty words, I just like real things."

"For example...gold or something."
