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

Zhuiyun, who was standing by, heard her speak so easily and talk about rebellion, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. She was indeed worthy of being the eldest princess. Her courage was extraordinary and really admirable.

After Jiang Li explained the matter clearly, he packed up some luggage and prepared to ride on Diao Diao to leave. Before leaving, he whispered, "Brother, A Yuan, I'll take all the gold and silver with me. When you return, I'll start recruiting soldiers and horses."

"Don't worry about me. I will be in Qi Country in a few days. There will be no danger. I am flying in the sky and no one can hurt me."

"A Yuan, I will miss you. Come a little closer so I can kiss you."

Upon hearing this, Mo Jue quickly turned his back, with a helpless look on his face.

Jiang Li stood on tiptoe, grabbed Mo Yuan's clothes and pulled them down, and kissed him hard on his bright red lips, with a look of reluctance on his face: "I'm leaving now, you guys should be careful on the road, if there's any danger, let it go, children are meant to be pitted, don't feel sorry for it."

"After we go back, we should get married as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble. What if my father dies? Then we have to observe mourning for three years. There will definitely be war by then. How can we get married?"

"...!!"

Emperor Ming: Haha, can we still hope for something good?

After Jiang Li finished speaking, he rode on the golden eagle's neck, grabbed its fur and shouted, "Diaodiao, let's go home. Do you know the route? If we are wrong, I will roast you and eat you."

With a hissing sound, the golden eagle flew up and quickly disappeared.

Mo Jue turned around and looked at the disappearing dot, wondering, "Third brother, the princess said that children are meant to be used as traps. What does that mean? Could it be that you already have a child? When did you have one? You are being too rude."

"No, no, that's not what the princess meant. It's something we accidentally encountered when we were looking for treasure. We named it Papa. Come out and say hello to your uncle."

Hmm? Uncle?

Mo Yuan rolled up his sleeves, revealing the red circle on his wrist.

Mo Jue looked at it in confusion and couldn't help asking, "Third brother, this blood-colored bracelet is not worn by women, why are you, a man, wearing it..."

Before he could finish his words, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. He saw the originally blood-colored bracelet stretched out at this time, like a red worm, crawling along his clothes to his shoulders, and the two leaves swayed to greet him.

"Brother, its name is Papa. It is the child that the princess and I raised. It can understand human language. Come, say hello to your uncle."

Mo Jue had a wooden face. He stretched out his hand and looked at the thing crawling over. Enduring the discomfort, he hooked its tentacles with his fingers. Seeing it twisting and shaking its leaves with joy, the expression on his face relaxed a little.

"…Very, very cute. Why is it called Papapa?"

"Because it likes to climb, I'm not sure. The princess gave it the name, saying it would be cute if it was a double-word. So the golden eagle is called Diao Diao. Mm, it's a very cute name."

Mo Yuan's expression was gentle, and he stroked the crawling vines lightly with his fingertips.

Mo Jue raised his eyebrows and said softly, "Well, from now on, let your third brother name your child. If the princess comes first, the child will cry when he grows up and becomes sensible."

"... Let's talk about it later. I'm not the head of the family."

"Third brother, good job."

Jiang Li rode the eagle all the way. He would stop when he got tired, find a place to eat something, take a short rest, and then continue on his journey. Three days later, he arrived at a small town, found an inn, and planned to spend the night before continuing on his journey.

Having Diao Diao wait outside the city, Jiang Li dressed in men's clothing and entered the city. He entered the inn and said weakly, "Boss, can I have a room upstairs?"

"Yes, I do. I wonder if you would like anything else."

"Give me three servings of hot water and food, and don't let anyone disturb me. I will rest after taking a bath. That's it. I'll give you the silver."

Jiang Li followed the waiter upstairs and fell on the bed after entering the room. He was too tired to move. It was really tiring to travel so fast, especially without stopping. He was almost exhausted.

If Jiang Xiao really rebelled, she would twist his neck off. It would really mess up her plans. She was supposed to have fun all the way, but now it was like she was being chased by a ghost. How could she have time to rest?

Well, I miss Yuan so much.

The waiter brought hot water. Jiang Li took off his clothes and immersed himself in the warm water. He relaxed completely and sighed, "Comfortable. This is the life a person should live."

After a stick of incense

Jiang Li finished washing up, got up, put on pajamas, changed the sheets and quilt, buried himself in the quilt, and fell into a deep sleep. He slept until the next day and was woken up by hunger.

He sat up, took out something to eat from the space, and when he was full, he stood up and left the city to continue on his way. He looked listless, and he lay on the golden eagle, wailing, "Oh, eagle, I am so pitiful."

"Pfft, could you fly slower? You've blown away all my sentimentality. I need to brew some energy. Oh, I really envy you for not having a father. I have a bad father. I don't get any good things, but I always get bad things."

The golden eagle neighed twice and flapped its wings.

Jiang Li kept muttering to himself all the way. After scolding Emperor Ming, he felt much better in his heart, with a dimple on his face: "Now that I'm done scolding, I feel much better. Diao Diao, please fly quickly. I'm not sad anymore."

Three days later, looking at the capital city not far away, Jiang Li's eyes lit up: "Ahhh, we're here, we're finally here, Diao Diao you're awesome, it's much more convenient than taking a plane."

"Let me go, we are going to enter the city."

After one man and one eagle came down, they walked towards the city gate. Jiang Li took out the token and showed it to the guard, thinking that he could go in, but he was stopped: "Come here, this person pretends to be a princess, arrest her and put her in jail, and hand her over to King Xiao for punishment."

Jiang Li's face turned cold and he frowned, "Who is Prince Xiao? I didn't even know it. I haven't been back for a few months and there's actually a Prince Xiao in the capital. Could it be my third brother?"

The guard had a cold face and gave off an aura that said "keep away from strangers".

"Be brave, someone come and arrest her."

"Heh, arresting me is really giving you face, right? I was thinking of going in through the city gate, but it seems that's not necessary. Let's fly over."

The eagle flapped its wings and flew up. The guards saw it and shouted, "Come here, shoot her with arrows. Don't let her enter the palace."

Jiang Li looked at the archers, waved his hand, watched them fall, and patted the golden eagle: "Diaodiao, go directly to the palace. I want to see what happened in the past few months."

The man and the eagle traveled smoothly all the way and came directly to Emperor Ming's government hall.

After jumping down, Jiang Li pushed the door open and went in. He didn't see anyone inside, so he grabbed a eunuch to lead the way. Before he went in, he heard a cough from inside. He squinted his eyes and felt a little uneasy.

After entering, they ran into Defu who was walking out, and both of them were stunned.

Jiang Li opened his mouth and said, "Eunuch Defu, what is father doing...?"
