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

Along the way, Jiang Li looked around, his eyes full of curiosity. He didn't expect that this was the entrance. It was hidden in the woods, so secluded. No wonder the officials couldn't do anything about these bandits.

The second in command had to stand beside her, staring at her with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "What are you looking at?"

"Ah, I'm just looking at the scenery. You kidnapped me, and it must be for the money. I will write a letter to my father and he will give you the money."

The two looked at each other with their dark, watery eyes. The second in command frowned and asked, "Have you been kidnapped often before?"

Looking at the girl's appearance, she must be a fool. Whose girl was kidnapped, but she could still enjoy the scenery along the way, as if nothing had happened? Is she careless, used to being kidnapped, or something else...

Jiang Li knew he was testing her, and said innocently, "Yes, being kidnapped is commonplace for me. Anyway, they only want money and won't do anything to me, so it's okay to kidnap me."

The second in command's mouth twitched, and he was somewhat speechless: "Really? Aren't you afraid that the kidnappers will kill you? Since you are often kidnapped, why do you go out in such an ostentatious carriage?"

"To show off? No, this is the most simple carriage in our family. When we go out, we always have a house carriage. It's like a house, with food, drinks and entertainment inside."

Staring at the carriage, his eyes were full of disdain: "It's nothing like this, it's not beautiful at all, it's vulgar, too plain, and there aren't enough gems on it, it's annoying."

"...!!"

The bandits all looked at her with unfriendly eyes. This girl was too hateful. If it weren't for her pretty face, they would have just beaten her to death. No, at least they would have poisoned her into a mute.

The second in command couldn't help but rolled his eyes, okay, this girl is stupid and will attract hatred, it's too hard to talk to her, this kind of girl should be given to the eldest brother, he only likes girls with pretty faces and good figures.

He is different. He prefers people with brains. Forget this kind.

An unknown amount of time had passed before everyone arrived at the stronghold. Looking at the imposing gate, Jiang Li's eyes lit up. It was worthy of being the largest Panlong stronghold and the local emperor of Qi State. The facade was well done.

The second in command took the person to an open space and had the carriage taken away. His eyes fell on her hair full of red hairpins and he clapped his hands: "Aunt Wang, come here and take off all the red hairpins on her head and change her clothes."

"Yes, Second in Command."

A woman with a numb expression approached step by step and raised her hand to pull out the hairpin. Jiang Li would never let a stranger get close to him and took two steps back.

She said pitifully: "Well, I'm afraid of pain, so I'll just pick it myself. Here you go, I'll give it all to you, you're so annoying~~~~"

Jiang Li pulled out the hairpin and threw it at the woman with resentful eyes, hitting her with more force. Looking at her face twisted in pain, he blinked his watery eyes.

The golden hairpins fell to the ground with a crisp sound. The second in command frowned slightly and said in an unhappy voice: "What's the matter? Your hands are not steady. You can't even hold a hairpin."

Aunt Wang hurriedly shook her head, her eyes filled with fear: "Second Master, it's not my fault. I, I was just hurt by the impact. This girl is very strong. I..."

“Shut up, hurry up, don’t waste time, my brother will be here soon. If you can’t even do such a small thing, you are really useless.”

"Yes, I'll be quick."

Jiang Li blinked his eyes and quickly took off the hairpin on his head. He did not hit anyone again. He ignored the man's resentful eyes and threw the hairpin directly to the ground, making crackling sounds.

After taking off all the hair, he stretched his neck and said with a look of relief: "Finally I feel relaxed. My neck was so tired."

Aunt Wang glared at her fiercely. What was this bitch so arrogant about? After the boss had his fun with her, she would be thrown into the cave like them, to be humiliated and unable to die.

He squatted down, picked up the gold hairpin and hairpin, wrapped them in cloth, and handed them to the Second Master, lowering his head and looking flattering: "Second Master, please keep these."

After the things were taken away, she turned to look at Jiang Li and was about to take off her clothes, but Jiang Li grabbed her wrist and pushed her hard, snorting, "You are so bad. You actually want to take off my clothes. I will tell Dad."

“Hehe, I won’t give you money in the future. You are bullying me.”

The one-eyed third boss had an indescribable look on his face, and waved his hands repeatedly: "Come here, take them to the dungeon and keep them under strict guard. No one is allowed to approach. When the time comes, just throw this fool into the cave."

"It's so stupid, I don't even have the stomach to touch her."

"There are two left. Send one to my room..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the second in command: "No, big brother can only come tomorrow. You know the rules. Wait until big brother finishes selecting, and then it will be our turn. Don't provoke big brother."

The one-eyed third boss showed a bit of annoyance on his face: "It's really annoying. I thought I could try something new today. Forget it, let's wait. It's tomorrow."

He shouted, "Come here, take them all to the dungeon. No one is allowed to approach or touch them. Do you hear me?"

Everyone said in unison: "Yes, Third Master."

in dungeon

Everyone was taken to the dungeon. As soon as they entered, they were overwhelmed by the stench of blood. Some of them could not open their eyes, and some of them could not help but dry heave. They grew up in the palace since childhood.

I've never seen such a disgusting place before.

“Ugh~~~”

Jiang Li gave them a soothing look, then turned his head to look around. There were many young women, some of whom were still children, imprisoned in the cells. His eyes gradually grew cold.

What is the purpose of this village capturing so many women?

They all looked like they were from poor families. After they were pushed in, they heard the door closing. The bandits went to guard outside the door. In such a huge dungeon, there were only people like them who were imprisoned.

Jiang Li came closer and shouted, "Hey, don't be afraid, I'm a good person. Let's chat and tell me how you were captured."

A brave girl came over and said, "I, I went to seek refuge with my aunt, and was captured. I've only been here for two days, so I don't know much about this place."

"Sister, you brought so many servants with you, how come you were also captured? You must be from a wealthy family, right? Will your family come looking for you? If so, can you take me out?"

A sneer came from behind: "Xiao Cui, you are so naive. Since ancient times, women who were abducted by bandits have no chance of survival. Even if you can get out, you will be a disgraced person."

"You can barely survive here. If you go back, not only will your reputation be ruined, but you will also be thrown into a pig cage or thrown into a mass grave to be eaten by wolves. Think about it yourself, is it better to go out or stay here?"

Xiao Cui turned pale, like a child who had done something wrong. She lowered her head and choked up, "...I, I just want to go out and see if my mother is okay. I would be willing to die if I just take a look at her."
