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

Su Xuemei asked with a curious look on her face. She really didn't understand why a princess was illiterate. Being in the royal family, even if Emperor Ming was incompetent, he would not let the princess be illiterate.

When Jiang Li heard this, he hung his head, looking irritated, wiping his eyes, and said pitifully: "Ah, it's all bitter tears. Sister Su, don't you know that I went to the barbarians to marry?"

"...I've heard of this. It has something to do with your illiteracy."

"Yes, it matters a lot."

"She was the eldest princess in the past. She was both virtuous and talented in Qi State. Her beauty astonished the world. There were countless people who wanted to marry her. But there was nothing I could do. The barbarians wanted to marry her, and my father was partial to me, so he let me go."

Jiang Li started to complain crazily: "I'm not saying that the barbarians don't want to marry, and neither do I. It would be better if we just go our separate ways. Sister Su knows what they did."

Su Xuemei's heart skipped a beat, and she swallowed unconsciously. She felt that it might not be a very pleasant thing, so she couldn't help but said, "Sister, if it's a sad past, let's not talk about it."

"No, it's not sadness, it's dissatisfaction, it's resentment."

"They hit me with a club and threw me directly into the death pit. My brain was damaged by that. I used to be able to read, but now I can't read much. The doctor said that I had a blood clot in my brain."

"Hey, I was originally a lady from a noble family, but it was those damn barbarians. If I meet them again, I will definitely twist off all their heads and kick them like balls."

Jiang Li bared his teeth and spoke fiercely.

Su Xuemei was silent. That was it. That was it. She thought the girl was bullied. It turned out that her brain was really damaged. No wonder she would go crazy sometimes. It turned out that there was really something wrong with her brain.

Looking at her with heartache, she said, "Sister, you have worked hard. If you come to Mobei in the future, I will find a good doctor for you. I will ask a miracle doctor to check your brain. It will not be a good thing if you continue to go crazy."

"Crazy? I'm not crazy. Why did Sister Su say that? What's wrong with me? I think I'm normal. The only bad thing is that there is a blood clot in my brain and I can't read."

Su Xuemei sighed. She could not even read, but she was still so optimistic. She was indeed a girl with a broad mind, which was really admirable.

Jiang Li rubbed his face and cheered himself up again: "Sister Su, it's okay. I will get back what Manyi owes me in the future. It's no big deal. It's nothing more than a fistfight."

"I can do it, trust me."

"...Well, no matter how powerful you are, you are still just one person."

"That's right. We'll talk about it later. We'll work it out when the time comes."

The sky gradually darkened, and everyone unknowingly felt sleepy and closed their eyes and fell asleep. Mo Yuan saw that she was asleep, so he reached out his hand, carefully held her in his arms, and covered her with clothes to block the wind.

He looked around vigilantly and couldn't fall asleep.

An unknown amount of time had passed before a rooster crowed and everyone woke up. They opened their eyes and looked over. They saw the sky gradually brightening and the town not far away was looming.

Si Ling said seriously: "We are almost at Jiuyou City. Wake up, we have a problem to solve. The soldiers guarding the city don't know our identities, so they might... shoot us directly."

Jiang Li stood up with a start and looked at him with a wooden face: "Si Ling, it's already this time, can you please stop joking? Why don't you use your ability to prove your identity to them."

"No, the distance is too far. My ice can't be controlled that far. If I get closer, I will be shot again. I won't have time to react."

"...!!"

Si Ling frowned: "You all have to think of a way to prove your identity, otherwise when those arrows fall, we will all turn into hedgehogs and die here forever."

Jiang Li's mouth twitched as he looked at the jerk in front of him.

She didn't die in the ancient tomb, she didn't die in the lava, but she died at the hands of a human. This is too ridiculous. She doesn't want to die, so she still has to find a way.

He turned his head and looked over. When he saw the person in the corner, his eyes lit up: "Sage Wen, your ability is wind, right? If you disguise yourself, can you bring the token into the city and open the city gate for us?"

Everyone looked over when they heard this. Wen Ruosheng sneered, "Princess, you are really calculating. You want me to die. If I really die, you can still find a way to jump down. If I am not dead, it's just a good opportunity to open the door for you, right?"

"I refuse. Why should I go?"

Jiang Li looked at him and said seriously, "Isn't that nonsense? Your ability is the wind. If there is anything that is the hardest to capture, it is of course the trace of wind. We can't fly, so how can we get close to it?"

Wen Ruosheng said nothing and turned his face away. He didn't want to look at her again. This lunatic from Qi country would target him whenever he got the chance. Why should he go if he didn't go?

a moment later

There was a crackling sound, and Wen Ruosheng's voice was intermittent: "Okay, stop fighting, I will go, don't go too far, you dare to hit me, you really are..."

Before he could finish his words, he was pushed out and disappeared in a gust of wind.

Jiang Li stretched his neck to look, but couldn't find any shadow of people. He turned his head and looked at them: "Are you sure that people can work? What if they want to retaliate against us and don't open the city gate? Don't want to become a hedgehog."

Si Ling pointed with a firm look on his face: "No, Su Yan is here, and Wen Shengzi dare not act rashly, otherwise all the treasures will be gone. He can't afford this loss."

"...Si Ling, you are really cruel enough."

"No, I just want the simplest way so that everyone can survive. If Saint Wen cooperates, everyone will be happy. But if he doesn't, then he deserves to be punished sooner."

Su Yan pursed his lips and looked at them with some dissatisfaction, looking in the direction of Jiuyou City with worry. If the Holy Son was in danger, he would bite his tongue and commit suicide immediately, and no one would be able to get those treasures.

He wants them to have nothing...

As they got closer, no one opened the city gate.

Jiang Li rubbed his hands and prepared for a fight. At this moment, the city gate opened. The archers on the gate heard the drum sound and put away their bows and arrows the next moment.

"Huhu, it looks like Saint Wen has succeeded."

After the city gate opened, Wen Ruosheng stood on the gate, looking at the people floating over. He moved his fingers slightly, and several wind blades slashed at the hot air balloon. As it was damaged and leaked, the descent speed suddenly became much faster.

Mo Yuan held the rope with one hand and held her in his arms with the other, frowning.

With a bang, everyone fell onto the city wall as fast as dumplings. Su Yan closed his eyes, ready to be killed. At this time, a gentle force supported him, slowing down his descent.

Su Yan opened his eyes, jumped down and shouted, "Son, are you okay?"

Wen Ruosheng looked like he was enjoying a good show: "Nothing, how could I be in trouble? What do you think, Si Ling, when you attacked me before, you didn't expect that you would be so embarrassed."
