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

Nishang knew that if the people in front of her didn't take them in, and those robbers followed the water to find them, they would have no chance of survival. They were afraid that they would be humiliated and then die, and then everything she had planned for her mother would be ruined.

Father was full of benevolence and morality, but once he knew that she was humiliated, he would definitely vent his anger on mother. No, she couldn't let this happen...

There was a fragile smile on his face, and his deer-like eyes looked at her. He looked broken, yet beautiful, which made it hard to look away. Jiang Li was stunned.

I was thinking, wow, she's an angel, this girl's smile is so healing, just one look at her and my irritability immediately disappears, I have to bring her with me, she's just for the eye-candy.

Jiang Li coughed lightly and pretended to be calm. If he hadn't been looking at her furtively, it might have been more convincing: "Well, give me the hairpin as your food money, and follow me."

Seeing that she agreed, Nichang felt relieved and smiled gratefully: "Thank you, sister. My name is...Xiyue."

"Xiyue, what a good name. Just call me Sister Li. Can we go?"

"Let me try."

Nichang was so weak that she struggled to get up. She felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground. Jiangli grabbed her and put his arm around her waist: "It's okay if you don't have the strength. I can carry you on my back."

"Hey, if the young master over there wakes up, carry the little girl on your back. Let's go quickly. I have to hurry and I'm a little busy."

Qingjue nodded woodenly, carried Chenlu on his back, and stared at the figure in front of him with vigilance in his eyes. This person suddenly appeared here, and he didn't know his identity, so he must be no simple person.

This is the most chaotic border area between several countries. It's impossible to be easy here alone.

Just as she was thinking, a huge figure swooped down. Qingjue looked at it in astonishment as it landed beside the woman, rubbed the woman in front of it with its sharp beak, and made a low cry. This is... a golden eagle. Why is it here? Is she from Mobei?

Jiang Li was so annoyed that he yelled, "Stay away. If you continue to make trouble, I'll eat the roasted golden eagle. You're so big, you should have a lot of meat."

Upon hearing this, Diao Diao immediately ran away and looked at her warily with her little eyes.

"Sister Li, is this your pet?"

"Well, it's quite naughty. It was the one that found you first."

Hearing this, Nishang looked at the big guy and smiled gently: "What's its name?"

"Carving"

"What an interesting name. Diao Diao, thank you for saving us."

The eagle spread its wings and was about to flap them when it was kicked in the head.

Jiang Li gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up and stop flapping your wings. Are you going to blow me away? Walk honestly, or you will starve and don't even think about eating for three days. It's so annoying."

"...!!"

An unknown amount of time had passed before they arrived at the official road and walked towards the parked carriage. Facing the perplexed eyes of the woman, Jiang Li briefly explained and urged, "Let's go. We need to hurry up."

Biyuexiuhua nodded and gave them a carriage.

inside the carriage

Nichang dragged her soaked wedding dress, leaned against him softly, and exhaled: "We are saved, it's great, Chenlu, keep your mouth shut and don't say too much. Now I am Xiyue, you must remember my life story, don't let it slip."

"The identities of those robbers must be found out as soon as possible. If they were sent by Yun Country, it can only mean one thing: they are using the name of marriage to kill me and deliberately provoke a war."

"If that's the case, it's easy to handle. I won't go to Yun Country for the time being. The purpose of the marriage is to delay time, so my disappearance is the best opportunity to delay time."

Chen Lu was stunned and exclaimed, "Master, how is this possible? Is the Crown Prince of Yun State crazy? Those robbers were not sent by him. If you are humiliated, that would be a slap in his face."

Nichang narrowed her eyes and thought carefully in her mind. Those robbers were well-trained and had a clear purpose. They went straight to her cabin. Her father would not do such a thing, so it could only be the Crown Prince of Yun Kingdom.

"He... is a madman, and a madman who wants to start a war. But he is unwilling to take on this responsibility and wants to push it onto Yu Country. He is extremely shameless."

"Calm down first and find out the truth first."

"Yes, I understand. This is what the girl gave me. Master, please change into something clean. Your wedding dress is too eye-catching. You'd better change it."

Nichang nodded, not caring about anything else, and quickly took off her wedding dress, wiped off the water stains on her body, changed into the men's clothes given by Jiang Li, and tied her hair up high, looking very neat and tidy.

Chen Lu followed suit and changed into men's clothes. She put away the wedding dress and prepared to wash, dry and put it away when it was safe. Maybe she could use it in the future.

In the front carriage

Bi Yue frowned slightly: "Master, the identities of the master and servant are suspicious, why do you want to take them in? What if they cause trouble? It will delay things."

Jiang Li ate melon seeds lazily, "It's okay. There are no bandits recently, so the robbers have to come to my house. I'm bored, so I'm just looking for something fun to do. When we get to the next town, you can ask about the marriage."

"Well, about the marriage?"

"Yes, Bi Yue is so careful, didn't she notice that the wedding dress the woman was wearing was unusual? The gold-threaded Su embroidery on it was obviously not an ordinary item. Plus, she had a royal aura, so she was most likely a princess."

"I just don't know which country this princess is from. She looks so healing."

The corners of Biyue's mouth twitched. How can you praise someone like this?

"Master is right. I will remember it."

Jiang Li pricked up his ears and listened. The carriage behind him didn't mention the identity. He sighed and said, "Okay, if I can't hear it, I can just ask it myself..."

Liangzhou City

The group arrived at the inn and booked a room.

After Jiang Li finished washing up, he sat by the window and looked down at several tightly dressed men walking back and forth on the street, holding portraits in their hands, as if they were looking for someone, with their eyes flashing.

Letting Xiyue change into men's clothes in advance saved a lot of trouble.

It was getting dark quickly. Bi Yue knocked on the door and came in. After carefully closing the door, she walked up to Jiang Li and whispered, "Master, I heard the news. The only person who is going to marry recently is Princess Nishang of Yu Country."

"There are people here looking for them. From their accents, they sound like people from Yu Country. I think they will soon follow the people from Yu Country back to continue the marriage. The person to be married is the Crown Prince of Yun Country... Yun Fengsu."

Bi Yue paused after speaking, a little hesitant: "It is said that he is a mad prince. He started preparing for war several years ago. Emperor Yun has been completely sidelined. He has not attended the morning court for a long time. No one knows whether he is alive or dead."

Jiang Li touched his chin, an idea suddenly came to his mind, and he blinked his eyes: "Biyue, I have an idea, listen to it and see if it's fun."

"Well, please speak, Master."

"You said the source of the war was in Yun Country, but we know the least about Yun Country. The spies we planted there would be killed as soon as they sent back some information. It's very difficult to deal with."
