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

Jiang Xiao sneered: "You dog slave, you really think you are a human being, but you are just a messenger dog. You dare to be arrogant here, you are looking for death. Humph, my father is still as bad as ever in disciplining people."

Emperor Ming looked at him, angry but not daring to say anything. His face was burning with pain, but he was still warning him of what would happen to him if he did not obey.

Seeing that he didn't dare to say a word, Jiang Xiao felt more happy. The emperor was so heartless. He doted on his mother at first, but became so disgusting later. He was such a hypocritical thing. It turned out that the feeling of rebelling against his father was so good.

Changchun Palace

Defu's face was pale and covered with cold sweat. He stumbled over and said weakly, "Is the princess here? I am here to pass on your instructions."

Qingsi was shocked when she saw him covering his hand and blood dripping down: "Eunuch, what happened to you? Who dared to hurt you? Could it be His Majesty? Is he so cruel?"

"No, it wasn't your majesty, it was Prince Xiao who did it."

"Then wait a moment, eunuch. I will go and call the princess. Someone, help the eunuch apply medicine to stop the bleeding."

"Yes, aunt."

De Fu looked at the busy little palace maids with moist eyes. In the entire palace, perhaps only the Queen could treat their slaves as human beings instead of objects or dogs.

After a while, the wound was healed and no more blood was oozing out.

After Jiang Li came out, he looked pale and was a little confused: "What's wrong, eunuch? Who bullied you? Tell me and I will find a place for you."

He smiled bitterly, "No need, I am just a servant. I came here to convey His Majesty's order to let the princess and Prince Xiao leave the palace. You...be careful, Prince Xiao must have bad intentions this time."

"Jiang Xiao entered the palace, so he was the one who cut off your finger. He is such a shameless man. The emperor is not good, so why would he touch you?"

Defu lowered his head and sighed, "All servants are like this. If the master is angry, the servant's life can be beaten and killed at any time."

Jiang Li frowned and looked aside: "Aunt Qingsi, please tell my mother that I need to leave the palace for a while. Tell her not to worry. I will be fine, don't worry."

"This...Princess, why did King Xiao want you to leave the palace? Is he going to kill you?"

"I don't know, but it won't be a good thing anyway. You can only know if you go out and take a look. Even if they want to kill me, it won't be that easy. Relax, I won't die that easily."

Jiang Li turned to look at him and said softly, "Eunuch, you don't have to go, lest you get angry again. I can go by myself. He is in my father's bedroom, right? I will go to meet him right away."

De Fu nodded: "Yes, in His Majesty's bedroom, Princess...be careful."

"It's okay. I'm leaving now. Aunt Qingsi, please take good care of our mother."

Jiang Li flew up and arrived at the bedroom soon. He strode in, looked at the man standing there, and greeted him with a smile: "Hey, Third Brother is here. Long time no see. You look even more abnormal now."

When Jiang Xiao heard that voice, his body froze. He turned around with hatred in his eyes, and his face looked a little ferocious: "Haha, Jiang Li, you are really stupid. You actually came back by yourself."

"Without Mo Yuan and the Mohist Army, you alone would not be able to survive even if you are a good fighter. You are too courageous."

"Oh, my brother, you are wrong. We will know whether it will succeed or not only after we fight."

Jiang Li looked at him with a smile, her eyes clear and innocent: "Didn't you say you were leaving the palace? Then let's go, don't waste time here. I believe that my brother must have prepared a lot of surprises for me outside the palace."

Jiang Xiao raised his lips slightly: "Yes, I am always vigilant towards my royal sister and I dare not take it lightly."

"Well, let's go. We need to finish our work early and have lunch."

"...!!"

"Father, my daughter is gone. You should lie down and take care of your health."

Jiang Li turned around, as if he remembered something, walked over, took out a cloth bag, and put all the cakes in it. He would definitely be hungry after the fight, and the space could not be exposed, so he would bring some food with him.

Jiang Xiao looked at her movements, his mouth twitching: "You, are you really normal?"

After taking a bite of the pastry, he said incoherently, "Well, what did the emperor say? Oh, you're asking about my brain, right? It's always online and has been normal."

"..."

Jiang Xiao closed his eyes, too lazy to say more to her. They were all going to die anyway, so there was no point in saying more. It would be better to save his thoughts, otherwise he would be pissed off to death by this brainless person.

The two walked out of the palace. Jiang Li ate as he walked. Seeing the ugly faces of the people around him, he handed over a piece of cake: "Royal brother, fighting is fighting, but you should eat when you need to. There is no poison here. Try one and it's delicious."

Jiang Li spoke sincerely, without any hostility in his expression.

Jiang Xiao looked a little strange, and waved his hands with some disgust: "That's enough, stop acting so pitiful, I will not be soft-hearted, I will settle my mother's vengeance with you."

"Oh, sure. Hatred is just a matter of reciprocity. The Imperial Concubine targeted my mother and caused us to have a premature birth. Otherwise, my brother, the Crown Prince, wouldn't be so sickly."

"She is just an enemy to me. It is reasonable for me to take revenge on her. If she dies, it means she lost because she is not as skilled as the other person. If you can kill me, it means I am not as skilled as the other person and I deserve to die."

After Jiang Li finished speaking, his tone changed, and his eyes were filled with coldness.

"We have different positions, so it all depends on our respective methods. If my brother dies in my hands, it's because you are inferior to me. You can't blame others. I won't be soft-hearted."

"Hey, we're from the royal family, where's the kinship? You see, we should try to solve our grievances ourselves and not hurt the innocent. What do you think?"

Jiang Xiao didn't say anything, as if he didn't hear it.

After leaving the palace

The two arrived at the General's Mansion and flew into the yard. Jiang Xiao sneered, "Okay, we're here. My sister is so smart, you should understand what I mean. Only if you die can the General's Mansion survive."

Jiang Li shook his head: "I don't understand, my brother knows that I have always been stupid, but if you explain it clearly, I can still understand it. Isn't it just using the General's Mansion to force me to commit suicide?"

"You're so naive. I don't look like a great woman who can commit suicide for others. I'm obviously a foodie who just wants to survive. I'm not that great."

Jiang Xiao showed a wicked smile: "If that's the case, then let's see who has the tougher means. I want to see whether you can save faster or I can kill faster."

Jiang Li finished the cake in two or three bites, patted his half-full stomach, smiled shyly, rubbed his wrist, and laughed happily: "Then give it a try, brother~~~"

The killer in the dark flew out and pounced towards Jiang Li. Jiang Li blinked his eyes and his figure disappeared. Everyone could only see the man in black being kicked out continuously.

The screams continued, attracting the people in the house out.
