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

next day

Jiudu City

The doors of shops, restaurants and inns were closed. People coming and going were in a hurry, with looks of panic on their faces, like frightened birds. When they saw people, they tensed up and left quickly.

Fatty Wang Meng looked at each other, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"Hey, second brother, what would we do if we didn't have a master? I'm afraid today's Fenglan is our future. The country is broken, the family is ruined, and the people are wailing everywhere. It's really sad to see."

He said angrily: "It's all Yun Country's fault. Yu Country provoked the war for no reason, causing the whole world to be involved in the chaos. The peaceful days are gone, the people are in a state of panic, and the soldiers are in danger of dying at any time."

"Even after death, the family members can't even see the body."

Wang Meng sighed, and his eyes slowly brightened up when he thought of Qiguo's efforts: "So, we must guard the front so that the people in the rear can live in peace, instead of being like the people in Fenglan."

"No matter how pitiful other countries are, at least we have given them a helping hand. If no master is willing to help them, they will be even more miserable. The soldiers of Yun Country are extremely cruel. I heard that the people in the border town were almost massacred..."

"Let's go. Instead of worrying about them, we should think more about ourselves. If we can't hold on, no one will lend us a helping hand. Go back to the general's mansion and eat and sleep well, so that we can have the strength to deal with it."

Three days later, the Yun army approached the border and set up camp directly outside the city, preparing to attack the city the next day. In one fell swoop, they broke through the defense line of Jiudu City and attacked the capital of Fenglan Kingdom.

Taking down Feng Lan was as easy as taking something out of a bag for Qiguo.

Inside the tent

Wen Ruosheng was still dressed in white, looking spotless. He sat upright, holding a cup in his hand, with a faint smile on his face, and his eyes were so cold that they seemed to freeze people.

A soldier walked in, knelt on the ground, holding a letter in his hand: "My Lord, a spy came to report that... Fenglan has reinforcements and will arrive at Jiudu City soon."

"There is also a letter from the Crown Prince, asking the Lord to attack the city as soon as possible and occupy Jiudu, in case Fenglan's reinforcements arrive and something goes wrong."

Wen Ruosheng took the letter, read it carefully, and waved his hand: "Go down, let the spies in Jiudu City withdraw, so as not to hurt our own people in the siege. Do you think there is something wrong with Fenglan's reinforcements?"

"General, I feel that I have always been a little uneasy in my heart. Isn't this journey a little too smooth?"

As soon as the voice fell, a man's rough laughter rang out in the tent, full of arrogance and recklessness: "My Lord, you are worrying too much. We have dispatched half of the ghost soldiers. How can those mortals compare with the ghost soldiers?"

The other soldiers echoed: "Yes, they have been unstoppable all the way. Fenglan is just a small country, so it is normal that they can't resist. On the contrary, it would be strange if they could resist."

"Haha, yes, in the future, the world will definitely be unified by the Yun Kingdom. The only threat may be the Yu Kingdom. But it doesn't matter. The Yu Kingdom cavalry can't compete with the ghost soldiers."

"At most, we will devour all the surrounding small countries and grow stronger through war. Then it will be easier to attack Yu Country. Your Majesty, please don't worry too much."

Wen Ruosheng glanced at them and saw that they were full of pride. He raised his eyebrows and said casually: "You guys better not underestimate the enemy. This is just the beginning."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded, not taking it too seriously.

It's getting dark

The entire camp was brightly lit. From inside a tent came the screams of a woman and the arrogant laughter of a man. Outside the tent there were people queuing up with anxious and excited expressions on their faces, as scary as hungry wolves.

"Hey, when will it be our turn? It won't end before dawn. Many of the military prostitutes we brought from the border town have been killed."

"If there is no new supply, what is the point of venting our anger?"

"Yeah, even if the battle is easy, I haven't had a rest on the way, which makes me feel suffocated. I heard that there are many beauties in Jiudu City. When we take it down, we can... hehe!"

Everyone laughed. Soon the curtain was opened and a tall and strong man, like a wild beast, walked out. He glanced at them with fierce eyes, and when he saw that they were silent, he left with satisfaction.

A rough voice came: "Go in and play. The body is still warm after the death. Don't forget to burn it when it cools down. The Lord said that this matter must not be spread."

"If other countries knew about this, they would definitely denounce Yun Nation and say that we are too cruel and bloody. The war has just begun, so we should hold back and not arouse public anger."

"Haha, yes, I will follow your orders, Your Excellency."

The soldiers watched the man walk away and whispered, "He's like a wild beast, but he's extremely powerful. He can fight a hundred people alone on the battlefield. He's really powerful."

"I see. No wonder he would play with women to death after entering the military whore camp. Your Excellency's body is incomparable to ours. Don't you agree? Haha."

"That's not the case. You have to get in quickly and stop wasting time."

As the night passed, there were soldiers who kept walking out of the tents with their pants held up and faces full of satisfaction, saying, "Good girls are still the best. It's a pity that they are too strong-willed and too many of them died."

"They are just slaves of a conquered nation. It is a great blessing to be able to touch them and give them something to eat. If they are ignorant, just let them die. Don't bother with them."

The curtain was lifted, and the bodies of women were carried out one after another. There was not a single piece of good flesh on their bodies, and they were covered with marks of biting, whipping and humiliation. It was horrifying to watch. Some people could not bear to watch any longer and turned away.

A dozen corpses were thrown randomly into the mass grave. A soldier was standing by the pit. Looking at the corpses at the bottom of the pit, he felt a chill on his back and couldn't help rubbing his arms.

Urging: "Let's go, leave here quickly, it's too unlucky, don't attract ghosts, and those people too, can't you be a little gentler, these people died too tragically."

"Hey, we are just doing odd jobs, don't talk nonsense, or you will get beaten up by them and have nowhere to complain. Let's go back, it will be dawn soon."

"If someone dies tomorrow night, we can start a fire to prevent the bodies from rotting and making the camp stink. It will be terrible."

"Well, that's for tomorrow night."

With a sound of pah, raindrops fell and hit the bottom of the pit of corpses. A small hand moved, struggled to open its eyes, looked around, suppressed the fear in its heart, and climbed up along the corpses.

The man who was climbing up was startled by the groan and almost fell down. He turned his head and saw a face covered in blood, with swollen cheeks and severe tear at the corners of the mouth.

"Are you... still alive?"

His voice was terribly hoarse: "Well, go up and take revenge alive."

His hand loosened and he fell on the corpse. He endured the severe pain in his body and stretched out his hand to the man: "Let's go, let's escape together."
