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

Yun Kingdom Palace

A breeze blew through the hall. Feng Su paused while he was marking memorials. He put down his brush and said calmly, "Since you are here, don't be so secretive. Tell me what news you have brought to me this time."

He raised his head and looked at the man in black robe below.

The man in black robe kept his head down and said in a low voice: "I heard that His Majesty is looking for a woman. We can give you the information about this woman, but... there is a condition. Yun Kingdom must attack Qi Kingdom."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sneer came from above: "Black Robe Envoy, you are still asleep and your mind is not clear. I am looking for a woman, but she is just a woman after all. How can she compare with my grand plan?"

"To fight against Qi Kingdom for a woman, are you stupid, or do you think I am a fool? I will not do such a stupid thing. Let's change the news."

The man in black robe stood still, nodded after hearing this, and continued: "But, if Qi Kingdom has something that can bring back the dead, Your Majesty will still be indifferent. Back then, Concubine Yun died tragically in front of you in order to save you. Your Majesty must not have forgotten that despair."

Feng Su's expression changed, his eyes were full of murderous intent: "Enough, mother is not someone like you, a thing that is neither human nor ghost, who can mention it. The resurrection of the dead is all fake. The dead in this world can never be resurrected."

"That may not be the case. If your majesty does not believe it, you can send someone to Qi Kingdom to find out whether the eldest princess has come back to life. There are rumors that the child is the key to resurrection. Your majesty must know that the eldest princess gave birth to the child."

"...When a Venerable gave birth to a child, the ancient books also recorded that they were all ordinary people. Otherwise, Venerables would have been everywhere long ago, and there would not be such a rare sight now. What do you mean by that? Are you saying that the child born by the eldest princess will inherit her thunder and lightning?"

Feng Su's mouth twitched, his eyes full of disbelief. It was impossible for anyone to be so lucky. There had never been such a record in hundreds of years. Even if there was, it should have appeared in the powerful Yun Kingdom. How could it be in Qi Kingdom?

The man in black robe knew that he didn't believe it, so he took out a book from his arms, controlled the book to fly up, and landed on his desk full of folded papers, motioning for him to have a look.

"Your Majesty, you might as well take a look. This is the real record. It's not that there are none, but there are some. And when there are, they are also inherited abilities of the Venerable. But there have also been one or two times when they have mutated and have other abilities, and they are very powerful."

"A hundred years ago, that child was a disaster to the world and was besieged and killed by the venerables. However, this incident was not recorded because they were afraid that someone would specifically target the venerables in the future and use them to give birth to children in an attempt to give birth to a different species."

Feng Suxin picked it up, opened the book and looked through it. The record was very detailed, but it was different from the one in the library. She didn't expect that the missing pages would record this incident. What was the purpose of the man in black robe saying this?

What benefit will Yun Kingdom get from attacking Qi Kingdom? The final result will only make Yun Kingdom stronger. Even if the man in black robe wants to seize the world, he can't be Yun Kingdom's opponent, otherwise there would not be no movement for so many years.

God is unfair. Why do all the good things happen to Qiguo? Damn it.

Closing the book, Feng Su said expressionlessly: "Whether this is true or not, I still need to investigate. Even if it is true, I need to think carefully about whether to attack Qi State. The Black Robe Envoy actually said it without asking for any conditions this time. It's really surprising."

The black-robed man raised his lips slightly, his eyes full of arrogance: "The news has been exchanged for your majesty's attack on Qi Kingdom, so of course I have to do what I say. I will come again in a month. If your majesty is unwilling, then I will take something else in exchange."

"Oh, you are threatening me. You wanted to tell me this news. I didn't force you to tell me. In the end, you just want me to attack Qi Kingdom and take things from Yun Kingdom. That depends on your ability."

"Well, Your Majesty will know. Compared to what I took away, going to attack Qi Kingdom will not only help us find the woman, but also give us something that can bring the dead back to life. It will not be bad for Your Majesty."

Feng Su's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he frowned, "What do you want to take away?"

The black-robed envoy did not say a word. His entire body disappeared in an instant from his sight like a ball of black mist. This strange scene made Feng Su clench his fists, and his feeling of uneasiness grew stronger.

What is the purpose of these men in black robes? Their methods are so strange, but it is undeniable that the news he brought is indeed tempting enough. That woman... I hate her so much just thinking about her, and she can be brought back to life. Qi Kingdom has many secrets.

No matter what their purpose is, we must now investigate the Qi Kingdom. If it is true as the man in black robe said, attacking the Qi Kingdom will not be a bad thing for the Yun Kingdom. It is better than having their things taken away. What they want to take away must be not simple.

Clapping his hands, the shadow fell down and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty!"

"Take the token and go to Qi State, find the hidden agent of Yun State, and find out the truth about the resurrection. Also, find out the news about Qi State, their combat capability, and their food and grass preparations. Bring back any news you have."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

A month has passed in a blink of an eye

Feng Su has been looking unhappy ever since he got the news about the secret agent. He never thought that Qi, a small and dilapidated country, would grow so rapidly without his knowledge. If they really confronted each other, even if he could win, it would cost a lot of people.

A voice suddenly appeared in the bedroom, and Feng Su's expression became stern: "Who is it? Come out."

The man in black robes walked out slowly, his face still invisible, and he lowered his head: "Your Majesty, please think carefully, do you want to attack Qi Kingdom, or let me take something away..."

"Haha, of course we should attack Qi Country and take away their high-yield grains and magical weapons in advance. As long as we control them in our hands, it will be easy to defeat Yu Country in the future."

"Your Majesty is wise. Now that you have made your choice, I will wait and see."

The figure turned into black mist and dissipated. This was the second time Feng Su had seen it. His heart tightened, his eyes darkened, and he clapped his hands: "Ying Yi, can you see clearly, is this a human, a puppet, or something else?"

Ying Yi knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this person... does not have a heartbeat, but he is not a human. I don't know if I can find out unless I strip him of his clothes. But that person can disappear like black mist."

"It may be the ability of the Venerable that I cannot catch him. But no matter how powerful the Venerable is, he should not be without a heartbeat. This black-robed envoy is so strange. He is so eager for us to attack Qi Kingdom. Is there any other conspiracy?"

"In the past, even when Yun and Yu countries were fighting, they never used the black robe. Now they are eagerly chasing Qi country. I feel that they are more like being afraid of something. Will they use us as swords?"

Feng Su lowered his eyes and spoke in a deep voice: "You are right. We can only test slowly to find out what their purpose is. Those people are hiding too deeply, but we must fight against Qi State and cannot let them grow stronger."
