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

In the study

The three of them sat at the table. Jiang Li glanced at them and said softly, "A powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. You have lived here for a long time, so you must know better than me how to trick people here."

Both of them: “……!”

This person who speaks more rudely than them, is she really a royal princess? The difference between her and what they imagined is too huge. And please don't use this word carelessly.

Jiang Li took out a handful of melon seeds, leaned back lazily, and started to eat them: "Well, why aren't you talking? You don't normally do business with other cottages, right? Why? This doesn't make sense."

Pei Xuan felt a headache after hearing this, and said helplessly: "Princess, do you mean to trick them here and then catch them all in one fell swoop, or to subdue them and make them obey the court?"

"Well, trick the leader of the stronghold here, capture the leader first, and then gather all the people in the stronghold and start training them together. When the training is almost done, continue to suppress the bandits and continue to grow. That's about it."

"I give you your monthly salary. You only obey me, not the imperial court. My father is a tyrant. It would be a waste if I gave you your people. It would be a miracle if he could manage you well. I am in charge of everything."

Pei Xuan's eyebrows twitched, and he said helplessly: "Princess, you are so disrespectful to His Majesty on weekdays. Will His Majesty not punish you? If we all follow you, what if you are punished one day? Should we..."

Jiang Li waved his hands and said seriously, "No, my father is not as crazy as me. He can't do anything to me. I almost killed him before, but he ignored the relationship between father and daughter and ignored it."

"Even if they want to lock me up, it's useless. I'm a venerable, and my status is more noble than his. If they don't want to be the king of a fallen country, they won't do anything to me. So it's better to follow me than to follow my father."

"The facts are clear. He will be reincarnated earlier than me. He is already over 50 years old and can still live for a few more years. You can just follow me without worry."

The two brothers looked at each other and felt inexplicably tired.

Pei Xuan coughed lightly and said seriously, "It's not difficult to call them over. There is a hunting season at this time every year, which is a good time to gather them together. There are still about seven days left."

Jiang Li calculated the time and nodded: "Well, seven days is not bad. You have a good life as bandits. There are team building every year. It is much more interesting than our royal family. You are not allowed to go here or there at any time."

I didn't understand why talking to the princess made me so tired.

"Hey, how did the princess get out?"

"As for me, I am now free after getting married. I can leave whenever I want. It is much better than when I was in the palace. In the palace, I would have to climb over the wall to leave without my father's order. The walls of the palace are very high."

The brothers: “……!!”

Jiang Li finished eating melon seeds, clapped his hands and stood up: "Okay, it's settled. Seven days later, I want to meet those big enemies. You brothers should discuss how to send the invitations. I will not be responsible for it."

Just as he was about to leave, a man rushed in from outside the door, wearing an eye patch on one eye. Who else could it be but the one-eyed Third Master? Jiang Li raised his eyebrows: "Oh, you're a little late, we're all done."

The third in command, Pei Yong, looked unhappy and asked with a hint of questioning: "Big brother, second brother, why didn't you call me?"

Pei Xuan glanced at him and said sternly, "Third brother, your brain is suitable for work, not for discussion. Go back and rest if you have nothing to do. Don't come and make trouble, okay?"

"As for those elders who make trouble, just lock them up in the cells. They will behave themselves after a while. If they still don't behave themselves, just kill them and use them as fertilizer for the princess's crops."

"Big...Big Brother, are you serious?"

"Yeah, seriously."

Pei Yong pursed his lips and said nothing, with a guilty look in his eyes. He came to find the princess in anger because he heard what the elder said. Now that he thinks about it, he was a bit reckless. How could they be a match for the princess?

"I'm sorry, brother, I was wrong."

Pei Xuan stood up and took out paper and ink, and pushed them over: "Old Second, write a letter to them and ask them to come to the village in seven days. Tell them that there are great treasures and that they must be lured here. If we are going to have bad luck, we should all have it together."

Why? They are the only ones being tortured by the princess. They are all bandits. They should all be gathered together and trained together. If they have to go to the battlefield to die, they should go together.

Pei Ming knew what he meant, and smiled: "Yes, brother, I understand, I will write the letter right away."

*

Two days later, all the major villages received the letter and began to talk about it.

Crouching Tiger Village

"Panlong Village said that there is a treasure in the forest this time, and it is a pure white deer. If we catch it, it will be..."

They looked at each other and laughed triumphantly.

"Come here, go to Panlong Village and find out if the story about the white deer is true. If it is true, you must go there in person. Rumor has it that the blood of the white deer can prolong life."

Although they were bandits, who wouldn't want something that could prolong life? That was something that only existed in rumors. It was no wonder that Panlong Village had such a treasure.

Qinglong Village

A burst of laughter: "Boss Pei is really good this time. He didn't forget to tell us about such a good thing. Go, we must go. Hurry up and prepare things and bring generous gifts."

One of them frowned, shook the fan in his hand, stood up and said, "Boss, why do I feel that something is wrong here? In the past, he only said a few short sentences, but this time, the second son of the Pei family was so obedient and said so much."

"It's a bit like... they're afraid that we won't go, so they keep persuading us to go. Boss, why don't you be more cautious and let the brothers go and take a look first. Once they're sure there's no problem, you can go to Panlong Village."

The others were dissatisfied and glared at him: "Heh, Boss, don't listen to his nonsense. People say that scholars are the most cunning and we can't beat them."

"This hunting thing happens every year, and there has never been a problem. The boss has a good relationship with Panlong Village, so we will get more benefits in the future. What do you know? You only know how to eat for free."

"If the boss doesn't go this time and angers the Pei family, are you willing to die to atone for your sin? If you don't understand anything, don't talk nonsense. Boss, you can't listen to him. We must go if we have to."

The scarred man hesitated for a moment and nodded: "That's right, nothing happened before, how could it happen this time? Besides, I send things to Panlong Village every year, it won't do them any good to deal with me."

"The second son of the Pei family is like a fox. He will never do such a thing that will put him at a disadvantage. Sir, you should not think too much about it. You just came here and you don't know much about this place. The relationship between us in the mountain villages is very good."

Nonsense, if you can't defeat Panlong Mountain Village and your relationship with them is not good, then just wait to be annexed. There is no way for you to survive. People should be more sensible. If you can't win, you have to surrender. Only then can you live a better life.

"Yes, I said too much."
