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

The capital of Yu State

Jiang Li listened to the noisy sounds outside, holding his chin with his hand, with a look of longing on his face: "A Yuan, I miss home. Let's go pick up Big Brother and Diao Diao and bring them home."

"By the way, buy some blood for Papa, he's making so much noise."

He reached out and touched his wrist, and said unhappily, "I really thought there was something good in the deserted village, but after all this time, it turns out it's full of human blood. You little thing are really good, sneaking in to drink your fill and come back."

"Now that you are in such a bloody state, anyone who sees you will doubt you. You are so smelly. Go away and find your father. Don't bother me."

Papa obediently let go, crawled over, stretched out its tentacles to hook Mo Yuan's fingers and acted coquettishly. Seeing that he didn't get angry, it became even more presumptuous and directly wrapped it around his wrist like a blood-red bracelet.

If you look closely, you can faintly see some blood flowing.

Mo Yuan gently touched the vine and said helplessly, "Even if others don't suspect that Climbing sneaked in to drink blood, Si Ling will definitely suspect it when he returns. Just refuse to admit it then."

"Whether he believes it or not, he can deny it without evidence."

Jiang Li couldn't help but smile: "A Yuan, you have become bad too. You were not like this before, but I like it very much. Anyway, it's just a waste for recycling."

"All that blood has been released and can't be returned. The blood type is also different. Instead of wasting it, it's better to give it to the reptile to drink. It can also help it evolve earlier."

"But this little thing can read my mood, so I can't spoil it too much. If it gets used to drinking blood and kills innocent people, I won't keep it and will definitely get rid of it."

When the blood-red vine heard this, its two leaves trembled, looking very scared.

Seeing this, Mo Yuan agreed, "Yes, my lady is right. You can keep it, but you can't keep a vicious creature. It is absolutely not okay to kill living things. If Papapa is really bold, my lady can kill it if she wants."

"Paipa, don't act like a spoiled child. You know, your mother is the head of our family, and your father and I have to listen to her, so you have to know what you can eat and what you can't eat."

The two leaves were swaying, and the voice of a child acting coquettishly kept ringing in my head.

[Mother, baby was wrong. Next time you go, tell mother that you won’t drink blood or kill people. I’ll kill whoever mother says to kill, as long as mother doesn’t do anything to baby.]

"Hmph, I will get you blood. Don't drink anything of unknown origin. Be careful if it gets bad. Don't blame me for being cruel when the time comes. In the future, when there is a war, your blood will be indispensable."

"When the time comes, you will follow your father to the battlefield. You can drink as much as you want. Kids should understand what long-term vision means. Before you become stronger, you should stay alive and grow slowly."

[Oh, okay, baby will listen to mother, but why doesn't mother just lie down and always fight? ]

Jiang Li's face darkened, and he narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Say it to me again, or I'll pluck your leaves. Why are you hiding?"

Papa was afraid of being beaten, so he slid into Mo Yuan's arms and tried to crawl into his clothes through his collar, but Mo Yuan grabbed him and said with a half-smile, "You can't crawl in there, or else I'll roast you first before your mother does anything."

"Don't worry, your father won't eat you. You can roast you and feed you to Diao Diao. He is your brother. When you meet in the future, you must get along well with each other. Don't quarrel or fight, and don't suck his blood."

Mo Yuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "Diao Diao is your mother's mount. If it dies, you will know the consequences, ok? Do you hear me? Stay on your wrist and don't run around."

It crawled listlessly, and lay obediently on its wrist, not moving at all.

Two days later, in the temple

After Jiang Li sold all the remaining brown sugar, she started buying it to attract their attention, that's for sure. The reason was very simple: she could eat it, but her biological father couldn't afford to feed her, and there was a shortage of food in Qi State. It was that simple.

She doesn't care whether you believe it or not. Datou Mojue has already bought it and had someone ship it back, so there is no need to worry.

After finishing their business, the two returned to Qianwei Inn and found Mo Jue.

In the room

When Mo Jue heard their words, he couldn't help showing surprise on his calm face: "You put all the princess's gold, silver and jewelry in the mysterious space, right? In other words, the princess has two abilities."

Jiang Li nodded: "Well, big brother should know the answer. I didn't tell him, not because I wanted to hide it, but because I thought big brother was too smart and would definitely guess it. There's no need to emphasize it."

"And this is the contract they signed. War is inevitable. What we can do is to become stronger before that happens so that we don't have to fear anyone."

"Contracts are contracts. Ultimately, what matters between countries is the interests. As long as the interests are sufficient, the so-called contract can be torn up at any time. Don't take it too seriously. At present, the interests of Qi State are not enough for them."

Mo Jue nodded, his eyes showing admiration: "The princess is really smart and has seen this very clearly. It would be great if he was a prince."

Jiang Li pouted and said coquettishly: "Big brother, you can't favor boys over girls. I am a girl, so what? If I want the throne, I can just pinch my father's neck and force him to pass it on."

"The main reason is that I don't want to. It's too annoying. Not only do I have to review documents every day, but I also have to worry about where to sleep at night. If I'm not careful, I might be killed by the person next to me. It's too terrible."

"This kind of hard work should be left to my father and my brother. I am not interested in it. I am working so hard just to prevent the country of Qi from being destroyed. Being a princess is good. I haven't had enough of it."

"...!!"

Mo Jue raised his eyebrows and said nothing more. Although his words were a bit blunt, the fact was that if the princess wanted, it would be normal for her to be an empress.

But...how can an illiterate empress be the emperor?

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in"

Zhuiyun lowered his head slightly, took the note off the pigeon, and handed it to her: "Princess, this is a letter from the palace. I asked you to give it to me."

Jiang Li blinked his eyes and took it with his hand: "Oh, it's for me, who is it, is it my annoying father, he won't do anything weird again, if so, I will ask him to abdicate when I get back, so that he won't occupy the toilet..."

"Hey, it really is a letter from my father, how could this be?"

"No way, if you don't cut the grass at its roots, it will grow again in the spring breeze. Big brother A Yuan, we have to go back quickly. No, I want to go back first on the eagle eagle. You guys follow behind and don't be too anxious."

Mo Yuan saw her frowning and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Something happened in the palace. Is there something wrong with His Majesty?"

Jiang Li shook his head, then nodded: "Yes, but no, it's just that my third brother is leading the troops and might need breakfast, so my father is panicking and asked me to go back to protect him."

"It's not necessarily a rebellion, it's just speculation. You know, he has always been very suspicious."
