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

Ye Rong was silent. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. His eyes were full of ferocity. "This city lord doesn't care. Anyway, I only have this one son. As long as he can live, no matter what evil he does or what retribution he suffers, I am willing to accept it."

...Shameless, this is such a shameless statement.

Jiang closed his eyes, took a step back, put away the electric whip, and shrugged: "Si Ling, your country is really in chaos. I don't care anymore. You go and take care of it. It's up to you whether to kill or keep me."

Si Ling glanced at her indifferently and turned to look at Ye Rong.

"I have heard before in Kyoto that City Lord Ye is a good city lord who cares for the people. I didn't expect him to be so crazy now. You have committed a sin, so you should leave it to His Majesty to deal with."

"You and your son are all going to Kyoto. Jiuyou City should have a new city lord. City Lord Ye is no longer qualified to be the city lord. You should abdicate and let someone else take over."

Jiang Li listened to his arrangements and interrupted, "Wait, I forgot one thing. Don't you think that this city lord is scary, but what's scarier is the Taoist priest behind him? Who taught him this evil magic?"

"If we don't catch the sorcerer, have you ever thought about whether they will find others to refine more monsters like this? If they get out, what kind of disaster will happen then?"

"This damn thing might bite people, I wonder if it's contagious..."

Upon hearing this, several people stepped back a little, their eyes full of disgust. If this damn thing were to be contagious, they would become like this. It would be better to just die rather than stay in the world and disgust others.

The bloody man croaked, "Hungry, Dad is so hungry."

Ye Rong held the bloody man in his arms and said excitedly, "Look, look, my son can speak. He is not a corpse. No, what the Taoist said is true. It is not witchcraft. You won't understand."

"It must be so painful for a father to see his son become like this. Why can't you understand the heart of a father?"

Jiang Li touched his nose and was a little speechless: "Why should I understand? I'm not a man. You can ask me to understand my mother, but to understand that my father is being made fun of is stupid."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. You two must go to Kyoto and accept your own trials. Since this is Yuguo's family affair, I will not interfere. Your son's life will be spared."

"If he drools at me again, don't blame me for being rude. I will pull out all his teeth one by one."

The bloody man was extremely hungry and kept shouting, "I'm hungry. I'm so hungry."

His white eyeballs stared at Ye Rong's neck. He struggled, but greed finally got the upper hand. He pounced on him, pressed him under him, and opened his mouth to bite his neck.

A scream was heard, making people's scalp numb. Ye Rong's flesh and blood were torn off, and he soon lost his voice.

Everyone looked at the bloody man, pounced on him, and bit and gnawed at him. They felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet and couldn't help shivering: "So... horrible."

Su Xuemei quietly approached Jiang Li, holding her arm, trembling non-stop: "Sister, aren't you afraid?"

"Hmm? Don't be afraid. It's just a little ugly, a little disgusting, and a little smelly. The worst that can happen is that I'll just kill it or burn it. There's nothing to be afraid of. Don't be afraid, Sister Su. I will protect you."

"Woo woo, sister, you are so nice."

In a few breaths, the bloody man had almost devoured the people, and turned his head to look at them. Finally, his eyes like dead fish stared directly at Jiang Li, and blood drooled...

Silence, deathly silence.

Seeing this, Su Xuemei silently let go of her hand: "Sister, it seems to be staring at you and wants to eat you. Is your flesh and blood different from ours?"

Jiang Li sighed, what a fake sisterhood, why hide? It's not like she can't beat her, why hide?

"Hey, maybe this is the loneliness of the strong. Sister Su, you don't understand. This ghost thing likes to eat strong people. Maybe it's because I'm stronger that I'm targeted by this ghost thing."

"It's really annoying. It's lonely for a strong person to be at the top."

Everyone: ...It’s already this late, can you please stop making trouble!

Jiang Li rubbed his hands and looked at the person beside him: "Si Ling, give me a clear answer, should this thing be left alive? Pah, this thing is dead in the first place. What I mean is, should it be left alive?"

"No, if you can solve it, just solve it. Tomorrow I will go to Jiuyou City to deal with the matter of the next city lord, and then leave these people to the new city lord to deal with, and then I will chase you."

"Oh, I see. I won't be polite then."

Jiang Li's eyes turned cold, and he swung the whip in his hand, increasing the current. He looked at the bloody man twitching all over, and in less than a moment he turned into charcoal, his expression was stern.

This ability is so strong that if they were to face it directly, they might not be its opponent.

The air was filled with the aroma of barbecue mixed with the smell of blood, which was strangely pleasant. Jiang Li sniffed and said, "Hmm, it smells good. I'm hungry again. Are you hungry? How about we go upstairs and have a midnight snack?"

They all looked at her with strange eyes.

Wen Ruosheng looked at her with a half-smile: "It's so bloody here, how can you eat it? The princess really has a good appetite. No wonder that thing targeted the princess. I think it's because the princess is more delicious."

Jiang Li ignored him and said lazily, "Let's go. I'll leave this place to you, Si Ling. They are all your people, not from my Qi Kingdom. A Yuan, let's go upstairs and have a midnight snack."

"Um"

After the two went upstairs, they breathed in the fresh air and looked much better.

Jiang Li said dimly, "I thought this country was so great, but there are so many dark things going on here. When I return, I will ask my father to post a notice to completely ban the evil Taoist priests, and cut them into pieces if they are caught."

"Well, you're hungry, I'll go make you something to eat. Do you want barbecue or something else?"

"…Eat some rice porridge. I feel a little nauseous."

Mo Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, I'll go make you some porridge."

Early next morning

Si Ling took some people back and the rest of them escorted them to Kyoto.

They walked for a whole day. At night, they stopped by the river and prepared to rest for a night before continuing. Jiang Li sat on a rock by the river, looking at the sky full of stars, and his heart calmed down.

"A Yuan, the stars here are so beautiful."

Mo Yuan raised his hand, casually grabbed a firefly, and placed it on her palm: "This, when dad asked to marry mom, he caught a lot of these. Let me show you. When we go back, I will catch some for you."

“Even if there are no stars, you can still watch this.”

Jiang Li smiled, amused by his sincerity.

"Okay, we will build a tall house in the future so that we can see the stars closer and catch fireflies in the summer. Oh, and ask my father to give me more dowry so that he won't give it to other women."

"Um……"
