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

General's Mansion Backyard

Jiang Li was either eating or on his way to eat every day, and he successfully fed himself fat. Looking at the round head, round belly, and short legs in the mirror, he felt depressed.

Turning his head to look at the man who was holding Chuchu with a fatherly smile on his face, he pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "A Yuan, do you think I have gained weight, a lot of fat..."

Mo Yuan sat up after hearing this, holding Chu Chu in one hand, and walked over. He stretched out his hand to pinch her, and she felt soft and comfortable. He smiled and said, "She's not fat anymore. She's very cute now, but her dimples are gone."

"Haha, that's because I'm fat. No, I want to lose weight."

"Losing weight is harmful to your health. I will take walks with you in the future and you will lose weight slowly. Don't be so anxious. It's good the way it is now. No matter what you look like, you are beautiful."

Jiang Li glared at him, opened his mouth and was about to say something when he suddenly felt a strange breath approaching. His face changed and he looked in one direction vigilantly.

With the naked eye, a ball of black mist appeared and slowly turned into a human shape.

The black robe covered her face, so her appearance could not be seen at all. She exuded an evil aura that made people feel uncomfortable. A hoarse voice sounded: "Princess, it's our first meeting. I have a message for you."

"Yun Kingdom, Yu Kingdom, and Mobei will all attack Qi Kingdom in the future. Princess, are you ready? How will you deal with these three kingdoms? Oh no, four kingdoms? The barbarians will also come. In this case, will Qi Kingdom be destroyed?"

Jiang Li listened to the malicious words and raised his eyebrows: "You are the ones who cursed me. You are a rat dressed in black and you came from nowhere. You dare to act so presumptuous in front of me. You are so bold."

The man in black robe lowered his head, as if he could see her every move.

He said lifelessly, "Princess, you'd better not do anything. Even if you are very powerful, you can't catch me. No one can catch the fog, and you are the same, Princess. You can only watch helplessly."

"Ah, you are indeed a mutant child. This endless vitality is really fascinating. I have told you the news. I will also take the reward that should be taken away."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole person turned into smoke, stretched out sharp claws, and grabbed Chu Chu. Jiang Li stomped his feet lightly, and an invisible field spread out. The black mist claws seemed to touch some invisible barrier, and he could not move forward and wanted to retreat.

Jiang Li looked at the trapped black fog, took out a big bottle, and made a gesture. He watched the black fog being pushed in little by little, struggling, and finally unable to break free. He smiled even more happily.

"Hehe, I knew there was something deeper hidden behind this. I was thinking of looking for you, but then I thought, it would take too much time to find you, so why not let you come to me."

"Look, you've delivered it to my door. I don't care who you are. In my domain, you are nothing but air. You have to listen to me. If I tell you to go east, you can't go west. Tell me, who are you?"

After Jiang Li finished speaking, his face was a little distressed. He patted his head, put the stopper on the transparent bottle, and moved closer: "No, I should say what you are, you are not human beings."

"Hey, don't be silent. Now that you're here, you won't die if you say a few more words. What exactly is your conspiracy? The war must have something to do with you. I know it even if you don't say it. If you don't say it, then just wait and see who can outlast the other."

The black mist in the bottle sneered, "Princess, you don't have time. They are coming soon. No matter how powerful you are, you are alone and can't handle everything. How can you deal with the siege of four countries?"

"Oh, it's none of your business. It doesn't matter whether Qi Nation is destroyed or not. Anyway, if you don't tell the truth, you will definitely die. Tell me, if I put you in the lava, can I refine you?"

"Well, I have a guess, can you help me verify it?"

Jiang Li pulled out the spiritual thread and pierced directly into the black fog, as if he was looking for something. He listened to the screams of the black fog with an expressionless face, continuing to test something. After a while, his eyes lit up.

"Hey, man, you really are a human. Change into a human form and see what kind of ability you have. How can you switch between a human and a black fog freely? I'm very curious. Can you show me?"

Seeing that Black Mist didn't say anything, Jiang Li whipped Black Mist directly like a whip. Looking at the miserable Black Mist being whipped, Jiang Li was excited: "It's fun. It's okay if you don't say anything. It will be exposed one day anyway."

"Let's see who has more patience."

With a flip of his hand, the bottle disappeared.

Mo Yuan was a little worried when he saw this: "My lady, will there be any problem if you put that thing in the space? If he sees it and escapes in the future, won't your secret be exposed?"

Jiang Li waved his hand, his eyes showing some confidence: "It's okay, space is my ability, everything there is under my control, he can only see what I want him to see."

"The daily thunder punishment and the pain of having one's soul torn apart should be made him experience it. No matter how tough he is, there will always be a time when he is tortured and confused. Then we can use hypnosis to get some information out of him."

"This kind of ghost thing just wants to provoke a war..."

Mo Yuan frowned, somewhat confused: "What good will it bring to them to start a war? Even if the world is unified, it has nothing to do with them. Can they do it just to see more people die?"

Jiang Li's body stiffened, he raised his head and looked at him, his eyes burning as he asked, "A Yuan, tell me again, why is it?"

After repeating it, he looked at her bright eyes and asked softly, "Madam, do you know something? Is it related to... the corpse? They want the corpse. Could it be that they used evil magic to make it into a puppet?"

Jiang Li clapped his hands and laughed, "I understand. A Yuan, tell me, for these evil things, what method can be used to quickly collect the bodies without being noticed by others?"

Mo Yuan pondered for a moment, his eyes darkened, and his voice became terrifyingly low: "War, only war can make them accumulate corpses without making a sound. If the world is peaceful, they will be targeted if they move."

"Yes, no matter what they want to do, they want the body. If the body is damaged, they still want it. It's better to have a damaged head, arms and legs."

"...It's a bit creepy. Even if I want to do it, it's hard. Swords and knives have no eyes on the battlefield. But compared to the head, it's obviously easier to kill a person. It's not easy to cut. Madam, do you have any ideas?"

Jiang Li narrowed his eyes and said, "Well, it can't be cut because it's not sharp enough. If there is a sharp enough blade, it will be possible. You stay at home and take care of the children. I'll go out and study this method."

"No, I will go test the black fog first, and then solve it after confirming it. This will be better."
