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

Ten days passed in a flash

The refugees' bodies have almost recovered, but they are old after all. Even if they recover, they can't do any heavy work. Those who are smart have already asked the officials where they can find some work.

The answer I always get is, just wait a little longer, it will be built soon.

They didn't know what they were building, but they thought it was something that required them to do some manual labor. It was impossible to grow crops in the beginning of winter, so they were a little nervous and visited each other to chat.

The spies hidden inside began to become active at this time.

The night darkened

A lot of people gathered by the river in a forest. The leading man threatened loudly: "Everyone, listen to me, these Qi people have bad intentions. They have been able to feed us for such a long time and even help us with medical treatment. They must have big plans."

Someone echoed, "Yes, I heard that the high-yield crops here can only be grown with human flesh and blood. You should understand what this means."

"If the strong laborers can't be killed, then we refugees, who are originally a burden, can naturally be killed and used to nourish high-yield crops. Otherwise, I really can't understand why they are so good to us."

Old Yang thought about the past ten days they had spent here, frowned subconsciously, and retorted: "Impossible, it's the beginning of winter now, and it goes without saying how expensive food is. If they really want us to die and raise high-yield crops."

"Then why do we need treatment? Herbs cost money. If someone really died of the disease, they can just take him away. Why go to so much trouble? Also, where are you from? Why haven't I seen you in Los Angeles before?"

Upon hearing this, the other refugees all looked at the spy with vigilance in their eyes.

Old Yang walked up to the old man and whispered, "Chief, have you seen these two people? I am old, but I am not old enough to forget people. Why do your faces look so strange to me?"

The spy's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, his eyes suddenly became fierce, he took a step forward, pushed hard, looked at the old man who fell to the ground, and snorted coldly: "Old man, it's bad enough that your eyesight is not good, but you are still trying to deceive people here."

The old man quickly stretched out his hand and helped the man up. There was a struggle in his eyes, but he finally calmed down and shouted, "Help, there is an assassin, help, help~~~"

"Damn it, old man, you deserve to die!"

The spy was about to step forward, but was blocked by the refugees, who started to talk in a flurry: "Enough, what are you going to do? We are all refugees from Luo City, and it was Qi Country that took us in, no matter what their intentions are."

"In short, if they hadn't taken us in, we would have died. Since our lives are worthless, there is nothing to be afraid of. But we should not repay kindness with enmity. These Qi people treated us well. You have eyes, can't you see it?"

"Oh, what do you mean by taking us in? You must have some other purpose. Otherwise, why would you be so nice to us? There is no such thing as being nice to us without a reason in this world. You must want something else from us."

"…Even if they did, it's just a life, it's just a matter of time. Anyway, what we saw was that they didn't hurt us, they have been helping us and saving our lives. Don't exaggerate here."

The spy was so angry that his eyes turned red. These damn refugees were deceived by a little food. If he had known this earlier, he would have killed them directly. Damn it, where did Qi Kingdom get the food to keep feeding them?

He slowly backed away and was about to run away when he was interrupted by a burst of applause.

Wang Meng clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Yes, he hid it well enough. He was only exposed after ten days. I have been waiting for so long. Come, arrest the spy and put him in jail. Behead him tomorrow at noon and let him be shown to the public."

He likes catching spies the most, as he gets an inexplicable sense of healing satisfaction from it.

The spies looked at each other, turned around and jumped into the river. Wang Meng flicked the whip in his hand, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he flew over and rolled the man directly to the shore, shouting coldly: "Catch him."

Wang Meng turned to look at them, his expression gentler: "Don't be afraid, everyone. We have no ill will towards you. If we really wanted to kill you and use you as fertilizer, there would be no need to give you food and medical treatment."

"There are 100 taels of silver in this box. Anyone who reports a spy will be rewarded with 1 tael of silver for each person reported. Let's get started..."

The refugees looked at each other, and became a little nervous.

One of them hesitated, stepped forward, pointed at another and said, "Sir, I saw this man last night, secretly releasing pigeons. We are all refugees, it is impossible for us to raise pigeons. Anyone who can raise pigeons must be a spy."

Wang Meng narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the man who was pointed out, his eyes changed, and whipped him: "Come here, arrest him."

"Little kid, you are very observant. Here is the silver for you. If there is anything wrong again, tell us immediately. You will be rewarded. You can ask for food or silver."

Xiao Mu held the silver in both hands, his dark eyes shining: "Sir, when I grow up, I can be a soldier, just like you, a very powerful one."

"of course can."

With Xiaomu leading the way and indeed getting some benefits, the others saw hope and stepped forward to identify the spies. One by one, two or three, they were caught, and soon all the spies were caught.

Wang Meng glanced at the sky. It was already midnight and it was getting late.

"Everyone, go back to sleep first. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us. If there are any more suspicious people, please report them immediately. We will reward them after they are caught. We in Qi Kingdom will not blame the people."

He thought that if he was going to criticize someone, he should criticize the officials. When he thought of those ministers in the court who made mistakes and were arranged by their masters to work 996 or something like that, or who were forced to farm and suffer, he couldn't help but feel happy.

The spies kept shouting and cursing. Wang Meng was annoyed by the noise and waved his hand: "Come here, knock them out. It's so annoying. You women are making so much noise. I don't care what country you are from. Once you come here, don't even think about leaving."

"Ahhh, damn Qi people, one day our army will flatten Qi and capture all of you damned people as slaves. You will neither be able to live nor die...%%%%"

The refugees returned to their rooms, their hearts pounding and their eyes shining. Xiao Mu said excitedly, "Grandpa, look, I can also make money. I will work to support you in the future."

The old man patted his shoulder, very pleased: "Well, keep it for grandpa, there will be many places to spend money in the future, go to sleep, you have to get up early to collect firewood tomorrow."

"Okay, I understand. I need to collect firewood for the winter."

In the darkness, there was the sound of flapping wings, and the next moment someone shot an arrow down and handed it to Wang Meng. He looked at the note on the pigeon's leg and sneered, "It's really the Yun people, how insidious they are."
