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

Mu Shan was shocked, his pupils shrank, and he shrank in fear: "You, how do you know there are ghosts? Are you in the same group with them, those ghosts? No, I don't want to eat chicken legs, get out of here, get out of here quickly."

Seeing him suddenly go crazy, Jiang Li got up and ran towards the river, wanting to jump into the river. Without caring about anything else, he whipped him and dragged him back. He frowned and asked, "Are you okay? I just said it casually."

"You kid, why are you reacting so strongly? What did you see? Forget it, don't talk for now. Eat something first and calm down before you talk."

I stuffed the chicken leg directly into his hand, watched him numbly raise his hand and start to chew it, and waited in silence for him to finish eating. After he calmed down, I asked, "Kid, do you see my shadow? Those with shadows are not ghosts."

When Mu Shan heard this, his empty eyes slowly became brighter. He stared at her shadow, and after confirming that it was a human shadow, he burst into tears, and his cry was so heartbreaking.

Jiang Li looked at him in confusion. What? What was going on? She had given him a chicken leg and proved that she was not a ghost. Why was the child still crying? No, was she so scary?

He raised his hand and touched his face. It was chubby and looked very kind. What was so scary about it? What was wrong with this child?

Yingyi came over, took the man aside, took out some candy and stuffed it directly into his mouth. The crying stopped immediately and only some sobbing could be heard. It sounded miserable and heartbreaking.

"It's okay. We are all human, not ghosts. Don't be afraid. We are here, even if a ghost comes, we won't hurt you. We are very powerful..."

Mu Shan cried for a while, then he felt better and wiped his tears: "Okay, I understand. I'm sorry. I'm just too scared. Can you go over to the fire? I'll tell you slowly."

"Okay, let's go to the fire."

Crouching down, burying his head in his knees and wrapping his arms around himself, it seemed that only in this way could he not be so scared. Mu Shan whispered, "A few days ago, Lotus Town was still very normal, but some people would disappear for no reason."

"My parents were afraid that something might happen to me, so they left me in the woods and told me that they would send me food and told me not to go anywhere. They would come to pick me up, but... they didn't come. I was too hungry, so I ran back to Lotus Town secretly."

When Mu Shan said this, those images flashed through his mind and he began to tremble uncontrollably, looking extremely scared. His body suddenly felt warm and he raised his head to look over, meeting Yingyi's eyes.

"Don't be afraid, speak slowly, there's no rush."

"There was a hidden dog hole in the bushes on the west side of the city wall. I hid there and saw... soldiers arresting people. Later, those soldiers disappeared. I saw with my own eyes that they turned black."

Jiang Li narrowed his eyes and interjected, "Black fog can still move, right? Is it like this?"

As he said that, he took out a bottle from his bag and moved closer: "See if it is the same as the black mist in the bottle, that is, the person turned directly into black mist. Take a closer look."

Mu Shan stared at the black mist in the bottle, his eyes suddenly widened, and he shouted: "Go, go away, there is a ghost!!"

"It seems so. The people who kidnapped the people of Lianhua Town are not Yu people at all. They are black mist wearing Yu people's clothes. That is this strange thing. It can transform into a human form, and it can also transform into black mist. It can be seen but not caught."

Raising his hand, he knocked the child unconscious. Jiang Li opened the bottle and released the black mist. Seeing that he wanted to escape, he curled his lips and snorted, "It seems that you still haven't learned your lesson. You have escaped so many times, but you have never succeeded."

Upon hearing this, Black Mist, or the Sixth Elder, transformed into a human form and said angrily, "Who are you? Why did you capture me? Why did you let me out? Are you just trying to humiliate me?"

Jiang Li rubbed his hands and looked at him expectantly: "Of course not, I let you out to fulfill my promise and let you go home. It's just that I have locked you up for so long, I feel really guilty, so I want to send you home in person."

Well, I'll go to your lair and catch you all in one swoop. Are you surprised or not?

The Sixth Elder was not blind, so how could he not see the eagerness in her eyes and the restlessness of the black mist all over her body. She resisted and refused outright: "Impossible, I won't take you there, you crazy woman."

"...Hehe, you can call me a foodie, that's a compliment to me, but how can you say such vulgar words to a beauty? Who is the crazy woman? Your whole family is nothing but me, you are just trash who deserve to be beaten."

As Jiang Li spoke, he condensed a whip in his hand and started to whip. The shadow guards watched in amazement as the human figure condensed by the black mist was blown away bit by bit. The screams they heard were piercing.

I subconsciously covered my ears and just watched this one-sided abuse.

The Sixth Elder cried out in pain, "Stop, stop hitting me. I'll take you there, okay? But let me be frank. If I take you there and the High Priest is there too, you'll definitely die."

"...Oh, it's none of your business. Just take me with you. Don't be so reluctant. I'm a good person. You don't have to go back by yourself. Not only will I take you with me all the way, but I'll also personally send you back home. How kind-hearted I am."

Jiang Li raised the whip in his hand and warned, "Don't let me hear the words 'crazy woman' again, or I will whip you to death. Do you hear me? Take me there tomorrow morning."

"I am a citizen of Lotus Town. You escort me there. This way you can go home and I can go to your house. It will be less likely to arouse suspicion. Cooperate a little. It will benefit everyone. Do you understand?"

The Sixth Elder felt very aggrieved. He hummed and didn't want to say anything more.

Ying Yi heard this and said hurriedly: "Master, we have to go too. You can't go alone. If something happens, how can we explain to His Majesty? I'm afraid we will be blamed for our crimes."

"No, you can't go. If you go, you will only hinder me. Don't worry. After I finish dealing with those things, I will come back to find you. Take good care of you and don't go near Lotus Town. Do you understand?"

Jiang Li was afraid that they would not obey, so he emphasized again: "This is not a discussion, this is an order. You must obey me. If anyone dares to run around, hehe, you will have to think about the consequences yourself."

"...Yes, I understand."

He hooked his fingers, put the man in black robe back into the bottle, and put him into the bag, which was actually put him into the space. He jumped onto a tree, leaned against the trunk, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The others looked at each other and whispered, "Boss, we really won't follow. I hope nothing will happen to the princess."

Ying Yi shook his head: "No, even if something happens, it will be those monsters. The princess is no longer a human being, so nothing will happen to her. Since she doesn't want us to follow, then don't follow her, so as not to cause trouble for the princess."
