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

Border City

In the study room of the City Lord's Mansion

Gu Yi looked at the letter, his eyes brightened, and the discouragement on his body was swept away. He said happily: "Please look, everyone, this is an urgent letter sent by the court. The ones coming to support this time are the Mohist Army and... the eldest princess."

The military advisors looked at each other with shining eyes, "Really? The eldest princess is here too, but she is not here. She just gave birth to a child less than three months ago. She left the child behind to come to the battlefield. Isn't it too hard?"

"Ah, there is nothing we can do. The country that came this time is the Yun Nation with the strongest combat power. Not to mention how terrifying the ghost army is, the most troublesome thing is the venerable one they brought with them. We mortals can't fight against them at all. Only the princess can deal with them."

"If Qiguo could have a few more venerables, the princess wouldn't have to work so hard. When they arrive, we will go to the city gate to welcome them. The mansion must also make arrangements and not be negligent. As for the common people, they can just watch from the sidelines."

"Yes, I will listen to the general."

Three days later, Jiang Li saw from afar that there were many people gathered at the city gate. It was a spectacular sight. He smiled and said, "A Yuan, look over there. They should be the soldiers and civilians guarding Yancheng. They are here to welcome us."

Mo Yuan nodded and said seriously: "Yes, my wife is the faith of the people. Since you have come to Yancheng, they will naturally come to pick you up. They want to see what my wife looks like..."

"Huh? You're looking at me. I thought you were looking at the Mohist Army."

"No, the Yun Kingdom sent so many venerables this time with a clear purpose, which was to capture Yancheng in one fell swoop and march all the way to the capital. To the people of Yancheng, the venerables are like gods, and they cannot be contended with by human power."

"My wife came and gave them hope that they could survive."

Jiang Li touched his nose. It felt special to be a believer. He just felt a little guilty. He muttered softly, "Ahem, really? A Yuan, take a look. Is there anything wrong with my attire today?"

Mo Yuan looked at it carefully, with a hint of smile in his eyes: "No, it suits my lady very well, it looks unattainable, like a god."

"Hehe, that's right, these golden eyes are quite intimidating."

The two of them were talking in low voices, and soon they reached the city gate. Jiang Li decisively shut up, put on a high-profile posture, and cast his golden eyes on the people. Looking at the people kneeling, he raised his hand and said, "Stand up, don't kneel."

Gu Yi led his men forward and saluted: "General Gu Yi greets the Princess and General Mo. You all must be tired after traveling all the way. Please follow me. The wine and drinks are ready."

The two men dismounted and walked towards him.

Mo Yuan exchanged a few simple pleasantries and followed into the city, still holding the hand of the person beside him, with a gentle look in his eyes: "My lady, you can enter the city now."

Jiang Li nodded, with a kind smile on her face, she raised her hand and waved to the people, and after a simple greeting, she followed him into the city, completely unaware that the people behind her were obsessed and crazy because of her actions.

"Ahhh, the Lord smiled at me. She must have smiled at me."

"Shut up, will the Lord smile at you? You are so ugly."

"I didn't expect it to be golden eyes..."

Gu Yi didn't dare to look, but he couldn't resist his curiosity and glanced at it out of the corner of his eye.

Jiang Li noticed his gaze, looked over and greeted him with a smile: "General Gu, what's wrong?"

"No, nothing. I just didn't expect that the Lord is so approachable. I am a little surprised. The Lord is a little different from the Lords of other countries. I have seen him before. Yes, he is very different."

"I am approachable, which is my greatest strength. I wonder if Yancheng has any specialties that are delicious. Can you bring them to me to try? It would be nice to eat some before the war starts."

Gu Yi let out a cry subconsciously, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

This, this is so different from the Venerable he imagined. He thought he was the kind of person who is out of his reach, but he didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to. If he wants to eat, it's okay, and he can talk to the Venerable more.

It was just that pair of golden eyes that frightened him, and he didn't dare to look into them.

Jiang Li was still smiling, looking very talkative. She just smiled without saying anything when she met those curious eyes. All the way to the City Lord's Mansion, her face was frozen from smiling. She couldn't help but raise her hands and rub her chubby little face.

Several aides following behind felt their hearts melt when they saw this scene. Why had no one said before that the princess was so adorable? She looked just like the dolls in New Year pictures. She was so adorable. The little granddaughter was much cuter.

The chubby ones are very cute and they smile at everyone they look at.

The group came to the front yard and sat at the table. Jiang Li glanced at the table full of delicious food, moved his nose, and looked at it with bright eyes: "General Gu, these are all Yancheng specialties. They are indeed different from the capital."

Seeing that she liked it, Gu Yi's eyes lit up and he hurriedly greeted her, "Sir, please sit down and try it. I thought you must have eaten a lot of delicious food in the capital, but this is your first time in Yancheng, so you should want to try the specialties here."

"This is called Rourou Fish. It has no bones at all and tastes very tender. Why don't you try it and see if it suits your taste? If you like it, you can ask the kitchen to make it in the evening."

Jiang Li nodded without any airs. He picked up a fish with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. The outer skin was fried crispy, and the fish meat inside was soft, glutinous and sweet, without any fishy smell. It tasted very good.

The golden eyes lit up and he praised without hesitation: "Well, it's delicious, really delicious, thank you General Gu, come, A Yuan, you try it too, this is really delicious."

"When we go back, we can catch some and raise them so we can eat them whenever we want."

Mo Yuan hummed, his eyes doting, and said politely: "Everyone, eat too. After eating, we will discuss how to deal with the Yunguo army when it arrives, so as not to be at a loss."

Jiang Li echoed, "Well, you guys are responsible for dealing with the ordinary people. I will take care of the venerables. You don't need to intervene. They are not easy to deal with."

"Yes, I understand."

Several people looked at the pair of chopsticks, moving back and forth. The food on the plate was decreasing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon Jiang Li noticed it and smiled a little guilty: "Uh, I have a slightly larger appetite."

Gu Yi came back to his senses, clapped his hands gently, and whispered a few words in the servant's ear: "Go, tell the cook to hurry up and cook. If there is not enough for the princess, how will she look at Yan Cheng? Tell them to hurry up. Do you hear me?"

"Yes, General, I will go right away."

Dishes kept being served, and Jiang Li's eyes kept rolling around like a child's, so bright that it was a little scary. After an unknown amount of time, he slowly put down his chopsticks and glanced at the empty plates on the table.

Blinking, "General Gu, are you full?"

Gu Yi pulled the corner of his mouth and nodded: "Well, I am full. Someone, come and serve another table of food to the princess. She must have suffered on the way. Now that she has arrived in Yancheng, she must eat and drink well."
