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

The two brothers looked at each other and fell silent. They were thinking seriously about a question: was it because they read too many serious books and too few storybooks on a daily basis that they were not as smart as the princess?

Mo Jue hesitated for a moment, then spoke with some embarrassment: "Princess, do you still have the book you usually read?"

"Yes, there are. Whether you want to read romance or gods and demons, I have them all here. Not to mention the storybooks here, the imaginations are really open, and the villains are especially well written."

"I want... the book of words of gods and demons."

Jiang Li pulled the corner of his mouth, and with a thought, a few more books appeared in his hand. He handed them over directly: "Okay, big brother, you take a look first. If it's not enough, tell me at any time. I have plenty here. If it's still not enough, I'll buy more."

Mo Jue lowered his head, his eyes fell on the storybook, shook off the strange thoughts in his mind, and nodded: "Well, thank you Princess, then I will take him back to have a look. As for the black-robed man, now that we know his purpose, it won't be difficult to solve him."

"I understand, but we don't know where the lair is. Otherwise, we can just destroy the lair and burn that god to ashes. Even if we can't burn it to ashes, we can chop off all his limbs. That way, he won't be able to revive."

Mo Yuan's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly: "For so many years, they have been hiding very well, and their vigilance is probably very strong. Even if we ask them, I'm afraid they will have disappeared by the time we get there. A cunning rabbit has three burrows."

"That makes sense. Since we can't find anyone, let them come to us. If that Zongzi wants to be resurrected, it needs too much human flesh and blood. When the battle comes, we just need to find a way to delay it, and it will naturally be unable to resist."

"When the time comes, once they make a move, they will inevitably leave traces. It will be more accurate for us to follow the traces. What do you think, Yuan?"

Jiang Li blinked his eyes, his light golden pupils gleaming with brilliance, making people reluctant to look away.

Mo Yuan raised his hand, gently touched her head, and praised her generously: "After my wife advanced, her brain has become much more powerful."

"Oh, it's good to know. Don't say it out loud. It's embarrassing. Brother, do you also think that I am much smarter now?"

"…Well, the princess has always been amazing."

in a few days

Jiang Limoyuan selected his troops and marched towards the border. According to the time calculation, Yun Kingdom would reach Yancheng first. As for the other three kingdoms, they would each head towards Qi Kingdom in three directions, encircling it.

But it will take some time, let's get rid of the Yun Kingdom first.

By the river, the army stopped temporarily to rest.

The soldiers sat on the ground, panting, took out their water bags and gulped down a drink. Then they came to their senses and let out a sigh, "I'm so hungry. I don't know what we'll have for lunch. I heard from the veterans that the food is good."

"Uncle Wang, is what you said before true?"

Wang Ren met those pairs of burning eyes, and scanned their faces. Seeing their faces full of childish expressions, he raised his chin and said proudly, "Of course, Qi State is different from other countries. It treats soldiers and generals very well."

"Eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are all good. It's different from before. In the past, being a soldier was so hard. You were doing life-threatening work, but in the end, you had the worst food and clothing. Life was torture. You guys are better off than we were back then."

Sanhe chuckled and said, "How could that be? We should be envious of you. I heard that in a few years, you will be able to live in a nursing home. It is managed by the imperial court. There are special people to take care of your food, drink, defecation and urination."

"I heard people say that life there is quite good. Not only do they have to take care of themselves more wholeheartedly than their own children, but they can also live in nursing homes with different treatments based on how many merits they have made on the battlefield. It doesn't depend on one's status at all, it only depends on one's military merits."

Wang Ren grinned and nodded repeatedly, "Of course, every soldier is looking forward to that day. We have to work hard for that day. Even if the court will lie, the princess won't. She has done everything she said."

"It was the princess who suggested that we eat so well. She said that if you work so hard, you should eat better and not be too harsh on others. Otherwise, who would be willing to go to the battlefield in the future? There were ministers who opposed it at the time, but in the end, I don't know why, they all kept silent."

Someone interrupted, "Hey, I know about this. My second aunt's son's good brother's sister said that it was the princess who took the ministers who opposed the incident directly to the military camp and made them suffer. She said that only if you feel the same way can you understand it."

"Anyway, the ministers who opposed it said that we were going to die anyway, so it would be a waste to eat good food, and they were unwilling to give us meat. After they came out of the barracks, they immediately agreed. This must have been the princess's doing."

"Yes, it's great that the princess is the venerable one."

Not long after, an enticing aroma slowly wafted out, arousing the appetite of people. They covered their stomachs, looked at the cook with green eyes, and swallowed their saliva.

"Hiss, this is the smell of meat, right? No, even meat is not this fragrant. Uncle Wang, do you know what kind of meat this is? It's so delicious."

Wang Ren sniffed, looking intoxicated. "Yes, it's bacon, pork pickled with fine salt. After the cold winter, it will be especially fragrant and taste better than fresh pork. It can also be stored for a long time, one or two years."

"Slurp, in our barracks, we mainly eat dried vegetables and various pickled meats that are easy to store. Of course, we also have fresh ones, but we have to wait until the barracks and the pig farm can deliver them to us."

Sanliu drooled, his face full of anticipation: "When I was at home, I only had a little bit of meat in a year. I didn't expect that I could live such a good life after joining the army. I would have no regrets even if I died on the battlefield."

"Fool, why are you dying? Practice hard, kill more enemies when you are good at fighting, and after ten years, you will enjoy your life. Someone will take care of your eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, and you can eat as much meat as you want."

"That's right. I need to practice hard and live longer."

As the gong sounded, people lined up to get their meals. The rice was topped with fragrant bacon and dried wild vegetables, both meat and vegetables. The soup was naturally hot bone soup.

Everyone ate with satisfaction, mumbling: "Well, it's delicious, so happy, Uncle Wang, I never dared to imagine a life like this, it's great to be a soldier..."

Wang Ren was eating, but when he heard this, he looked up and continued eating: "That's right, if you fight bravely, you will not be treated unfairly. After you have made great military achievements, you will have everything you need to marry and have children."

"Well, I know."

Jiang Li held the bowl and ate with big mouthfuls: "Currant is still fragrant and tastes better than fresh meat. Ah Yuan, eat quickly. It will get cold soon in the cold weather. Look how happy they are eating. It was so hard to be a soldier in the past."

"They are risking their lives. Without meat, how can they have the strength to fight?"

"Yes, thanks to my lady's consideration."

"It should."
