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

Seeing her pupils constricted and looking terrified, Jiang Li turned his head to look at the other one, whose face was pale, biting her lips, and eyes filled with resentment. He looked at her calmly and waited quietly.

Her intuition told her that there must be some hidden secret in the border town.

An unknown amount of time had passed before Qiu He lowered his head and laughed miserably, "They slaughtered them all in order to conceal something and preserve their reputation. General, you don't know how cruel they are. They are as scary as ghosts."

"On the first day after entering the city, they only killed the defenders and drained their blood. Later, for some reason, they started to attack the civilians. They killed all the men and children and drained their blood. They also captured half of the women and killed half of them, leaving the other half as... military prostitutes."

"We were treated as dead and thrown directly into the grave pit. We woke up later and crawled along the corpses little by little. We finally arrived at Jiudu City. The general knows what happened next."

Jiang Li's eyes darkened: "Kill people and bleed them? What do they want human blood for? Do you know anything else?"

Chuncao seemed to be more sober, raised her head and whispered: "I, I heard them mention it. When those people tortured me together, they didn't avoid me with their arrogant words. They said that the blood was a sacrifice to the gods."

"It's not enough yet. If we wait until Fenglan is conquered and another city is captured, it should be enough. After the people in the border town were killed and bled, their bodies were taken away."

"Someone said that the corpses were useful, and that they could be used to feed something, perhaps wild animals or something, but I don't know."

Jiang Li frowned subconsciously. No, this matter was too wrong. The war was understandable, and the massacre in the city could be said to be brutal, but what was the point of bleeding, and what were the points of those corpses?

A flash of inspiration came to his mind, but he just couldn't grasp it. He couldn't figure out the relationship between the blood and the corpse. Jiang Li became a little annoyed and pursed his lips in silence.

Seeing this, the two men lowered their heads and dared not say another word.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Li came back to his senses and said in a gentle voice, "You want revenge, do you want their evil deeds to be known to the world? The more they fear something and hide something, the more we must publicize it."

Qiu He's father was a scholar. He had learned to read and read a lot of books since he was young, so he naturally understood some of the principles. When he heard this, his eyes lit up: "General, what you mean is to let the world know that we will besiege Yun Kingdom together, right?"

Jiang Li said slowly: "That is the best situation, but it is obviously not enough now. Only when more people are persecuted will hatred be aroused, and it will be possible to besiege Yun Country, but it won't happen now."

"Small countries are too busy hiding to confront Yun Country head-on. We need to tell the truth now. If Yun Country restrains itself, the situation of other countries being massacred will be better. If it doesn't restrain itself, it will inevitably arouse hatred in the world."

"It's hard for us to protect ourselves, and we really can't deal with the Yun Kingdom. This is the truth, don't you understand?"

Qiu He's eyes dimmed. She wondered if she would never be able to avenge her family. Then what was the point of her living? Could she just watch helplessly as more people helped others?

Jiang Li sighed softly: "It's difficult to take revenge for the time being, but there is one thing you can do, help the enemy soldiers of Yun Country. If the enemy soldiers survive, more demons of Yun Country can die."

"In other words, it can be considered a form of revenge. Are you willing?"

"...I, I am just a weak woman. The general wants me to go to the battlefield to help them. Is it to be a military prostitute?"

Qiu He showed a miserable smile, what could she do to help the enemy soldiers of Yun State? This was probably the only thing she could do. Haha, apart from being a military prostitute, was there no other way?

It would be better for her to die in that pit than to escape and continue to be humiliated.

Jiang Li blinked, knowing that she had misunderstood, and explained softly: "It's not what you think. There are special female military doctors in the army, who are mainly responsible for taking care of the wounded soldiers coming down from the battlefield, not being military prostitutes."

"My army will never allow such acts of insulting women to appear. If anyone does, I will chop them to pieces."

"Don't worry, you two are not the only ones. There is a team of women who are responsible for this area. They are called female military doctors. They are responsible for treating external injuries. Swords have no eyes on the battlefield. Treating external injuries is inevitable. It can reduce the mortality rate."

Qiu He looked at her blankly and murmured, "Really?"

Jiang Li nodded and said solemnly: "Of course, after dealing with Feng Lan's matter, you will go back with this general. Although your family is gone, the military camp will be your home in the future, and you will have many sisters."

"They have all experienced hardships, have no home to return to, and are willing to go to the battlefield. You will know in the future. I can't say too much for now. Go and have a rest. This general will let the world know about the experience of the border town."

"Don't do stupid things. Live well and see the final fate of the evildoers. Only then will it be worthwhile to climb out of the pit of the dead, right?"

With tears in their eyes, the two of them nodded repeatedly: "Okay, we will listen to you, General. If you don't mind that I'm dirty, I'm willing to serve you."

Jiang Li nodded: "Follow me, General."

After returning, Jiang Li asked someone to write a storybook, recording what happened in the border town in the form of a storybook, and even directly drew simple sketches of the vicious scenes of murder and bloodletting to make the shocking effect even stronger.

Wang Meng knocked on the door, and after entering, he said respectfully, "Boss, what do you want from me?"

"Well, take this storybook and ask our people to print it into a book. After it's printed, have them send it to various countries to spread the evil intentions of Yun Country. Let them associate the storybook with Yun Country. Then we can start a war of public opinion."

"Go and do this, and come back early after you're done. Don't make it public. This has to be done in secret. You understand what I mean."

Jiang Li looked at him seriously.

Wang Meng nodded and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Boss. I know the seriousness of this matter and will not expose it. But if I leave, I am afraid it will take some time for me to come back. You are here..."

"It's okay. You know my skills. You can't hurt me easily."

"Take two more people with you, go early and come back early, and be careful on the road."

"Yes, I will go first."

"Um"

After Wang Meng left, within just half a month, there was an overwhelming outcry against the Yun Kingdom. The people complained and vented all their dissatisfaction and resentment on the Yun Kingdom.

In many inns, storytellers told stories based on what was in the storybooks. Although they did not explicitly point to the Yun Kingdom, the massacre in the border town was a fact. Coupled with the guidance of the storybooks, it was easy for the people to make the connection.

Inside the Yun State Camp

There was a crackling sound of porcelain breaking, and Yun Ruosheng's face was gloomy. How could this matter get out? Those people were all dead, they deserved to die. If he ruined that person's business, he would not be able to escape unscathed.
