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

"presumptuous!"

With a bang, he slammed the table hard. Emperor Ming was also angry. They were just some charlatans, but they really thought they were human beings and dared to be so presumptuous in front of him. Damn stinky monks.

De Fu is a servant, but hitting a servant is like slapping him in the face. It was clearly agreed that after checking the handwriting, it would be Master Wu Chen's turn to check the body. Now he is so angry and embarrassed, it is obvious that he is guilty.

"That's enough. Monks don't tell lies. I asked Li'er to do the handwriting inspection you requested. It's obvious that you wronged Li'er. According to what we agreed just now, it's the master's turn to inspect her body. You also agreed."

"Now, you have hit my people in this hall. Are you planning to rebel? This is just a temple. If you are so dishonest and have no tolerance, are you worthy of being a master?"

Emperor Ming's face was as cold as ice, his imperial majesty was fully displayed, and it was obvious that he was completely enraged.

The three people on the side silently took two steps back and acted as spectators. They were very satisfied with the current situation. In recent years, Wuliang Temple had indeed been praised too highly and had lost some of its own identity.

Jiang Li quietly gave a thumbs up. His father, the tyrant emperor, was usually not very good, but he stood up today. He was a tough guy, really handsome. He would drive the dead bald donkey away later, and he had to praise him. He did a good job.

They are just charlatans, they really think they are so important, they keep saying vicious words, and they ask for tribute as if it is alms to others. They are shameless and I will kill them sooner or later.

Wuyou saw the tense scene, closed his eyes, raised his head and looked at Emperor Ming: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Elder Wuchen was provoked, so he spoke without restraint. I hope Your Majesty will not be offended."

"Of course we have to do what we promised. Elder, please go down with the eunuch and check the body. But please don't spread this matter to others."

"...!!"

Silence, dead silence, no one paid any attention to him.

Emperor Ming did not say anything. He glanced at the trembling Defu and clapped his hands, "Come here, take the elder down for a physical examination. Regardless of whether the elder has a birthmark or not, today's matter is over. No one should mention it again in the future."

Jiang Li met the gaze and blinked his eyes. He was as obedient as possible and made a gesture, promising that he would not bring it up again, provided that the bald donkeys did not cause trouble.

Seeing that things were about to end, Jiang Li had no more melons to eat and was about to leave, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened at this time.

Master Wu Chen came out in disheveled clothes, staring at her intently, as if he wanted to cut her into pieces. He raised his hand and attacked her, with naked murderous intent overwhelming her.

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows when he saw this, dodged to the side of Emperor Ming, and cried, "Father, help me! That bald guy is actually trying to kill someone. He's so bold! He's not going after you, Father."

"I am just a princess. There is no point in killing me. I must be coming for you, my father. Someone, come and protect me. Quickly protect me..."

There was chaos in the hall. Wu Chen was taken away by Mo Yuan and thrown directly into jail.

Emperor Ming's face turned pale, obviously frightened. No matter how crazy his daughter was, she didn't really want to kill him. But that stinky monk really wanted to kill him. Who ordered him to do that? Could it be Wuliangsi?

In this case, there is no need to discuss the annual tribute.

Wuyou saw the situation was out of control, and lowered his head slightly, showing a rare bit of humility: "Your Majesty, Master Wuchen is crazy, and I hope you can take him back to be punished. He is just a madman, so he should not be taken seriously."

"Humph, what? Do you think I'm a fool?"

"This is Qi Country, not your Wuliang Division. He dared to take action here. I believe it now. You must have sent people to stop Li'er on her way to Yu Country. How could you want to kill Li'er?"

The more Emperor Ming thought about it, the angrier he became. Damn it! Qi State finally produced a venerable master, but what has he got to do with these stinky monks? They come one by one to target Li'er, and it’s not enough to kill him on the road, they even dare to assassinate him in the hall.

It's so outrageous. Annual tribute, what a bullshit.

Li'er was right, those monks had no good intentions at all. What was the Buddha's mercy? Even if he was merciful, he was not merciful to Qiguo. So why should he be polite to them?

Wuyou's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, thinking it was all over. Originally, they came here for Qi Kingdom, and the treasure they brought back from Yu Kingdom was a huge amount. Now, they had completely offended people, how could they say goodbye?

"Your Majesty, how about this? Since Wu Chen was so rude to the princess, then... he will be handed over to Your Majesty for disposal. You can kill him or chop him up if you want, as long as he is an annual tribute."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Emperor Ming.

Emperor Ming had a cold face and a strong attitude: "From now on, Qi State will no longer pay tribute, and you don't need to calculate the date. No matter what happens to Qi State in the future, it has nothing to do with you."

"Wu Chen killed my daughter, so he must be spared. Master Wu You, if nothing happens, please leave Qi Kingdom within three days. Qi Kingdom will no longer welcome the holy monks from Wuliangsi to come."

"Your Majesty, are you going to completely turn against Wuliangsi?"

"Humph, you are all going to kill my daughter, so why should I flatter you? What are you thinking? Leave as soon as possible. Leave Wuchen's life behind. There is no room for negotiation on the annual tribute. In the future, it will be gone."

Emperor Ming narrowed his eyes and looked at him with a half-smile: "If it was just for the annual tribute, there would be no need for Master Wuyou to come. So you are here for something else this time, right? Let me think about it."

"Qi is a weak country, so there is only one possibility that you could have figured it out. That's the treasure that Li'er brought back from Yu Country with great effort, right? You came here because you're targeting that, right?"

Wuyou was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his head and said nothing.

Jiang Li suddenly understood what was going on. So that's how it was. How shameless! Why should she give them the treasure she had worked so hard to win? It was ridiculous.

"Father, you are so smart."

"Well, in the past, from time to time, in addition to asking for annual tribute, Wuliangsi would have other reasons to ask for money, saying that it was to build a temple, repair a golden Buddha, etc. This year, Master Wuyou was able to come, I think it was also for the treasure."

Emperor Ming was very unhappy and waved his hand, "Come here, send Master Wuyou to rest. Send him out of the capital within three days. Have a safe journey, masters."

Now that things had come to this, Wuyou couldn't stay any longer, so he shook his sleeves, turned around and left with his people.

As soon as the others left, Jiang Li showered him with compliments, flattering him like crazy: "Father, you were so brave just now, you suppressed them all, but if we really offend them, will it have an impact on Qi Country?"

Emperor Ming snorted and said quietly, "Why worry so much? They are just monks. If I really provoke them, the worst that can happen is that I will kill them all, so that they won't be so happy and greedy every day."

"You should go back first. Stay calm and be careful recently. Don't let anyone plot against you. I feel sad just thinking about the things I gave to Wuliang Temple before."
