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

Jiang Li didn't say anything and walked all the way to the innermost part. He vaguely saw a little light in front of him, sticking to the stone wall. He slowly got closer and saw a bamboo pole on top of a huge altar.

Bright red blood was flowing out along the lines of the altar, and finally slowly gathered together and flowed towards the big pool. There were people standing around the altar, but their expressions were numb, like wooden men.

"Here we are, here we are. Today is the great day for sacrifice..."

Seeing that he was quite honest, Jiang Li lowered his voice and said, "Well, you are quite capable. Stay with me from now on. I don't want that Sixth Elder anymore. He is such an old man but he is still not honest. I had to send him all the way home. He has no conscience."

When the little black-robed man heard this, he felt numb all over and dared not say a word.

"What's your name?"

"Xiao, Xiao Shi, I was only two years old."

"……What's the meaning??"

Jiang Li felt very strange when he heard this. He was about to ask something else, but when he saw someone coming, he subconsciously closed his mouth: "Shh, don't talk, someone is coming."

Xiao Shi in the black robe was just about to speak when he saw the puppets just walked past them as if they didn't see them. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised. What kind of methods did this guy have? He was so powerful.

Not only can he catch them, but he can also easily hurt them with a whip. It is incredible how a mortal can be so powerful.

A man in a black robe followed quietly and came to the next cave. He saw a tangled network of bamboo poles. Looking along the poles, he saw people whose blood vessels had been cut and bled, and some who were not dead were groaning in pain.

"The people here are those from Lotus Town. There must be many in the dungeon. All of these people's blood must be released. Each sacrifice requires a lot of blood. If it weren't for the delay in the war, I guess the adults wouldn't have attacked the town."

Jiang Li listened quietly without saying a word, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

An unknown amount of time had passed before Jiang Li raised his head. His eyes were frighteningly bright, as if he had come up with an idea. He raised his hand and waved it, and the puppets disappeared instantly, followed by the corpses.

The black-robed man was dumbfounded, and followed behind him to ask: "What's going on? Why can you make them go away? What kind of ability is this? Why haven't I seen it before? Are you a venerable? Only a venerable can have magical powers."

Soon, they arrived at the dungeon. Hearing the cries for help, Jiang Li turned back to look at the man in black robe and said, "Wait outside. Don't come in, or you'll scare people. There are clothes here. Put on a mask and wait for me here."

"...!"

The man in black robe looked down at his clothes and obediently went to change them.

Jiang Li put all the guard puppets into the space, broke the chains, and lowered his voice: "Shh, come out quickly, I will take you home, don't make any noise, do you hear me?"

"Yes, thank you for saving my life."

A large group of people came out. After seeing the bloodletting cave, they covered their mouths and almost screamed. Their eyes were full of fear. Jiang Li looked around and pointed: "Go, pour the water in the bucket and delay some time."

After doing everything, Jiang Li took his men out, waved at them, flashed back to the altar cave, took out a pile of mines, lit them, and put them in the blood pool and on the altar, making sure that the explosion could destroy the place completely.

Jiang Li turned and ran. Explosions continued to sound behind him, and there were faint roars, which made people feel a chill on their backs. He quickened his pace and ran out quickly. There was a rumbling sound, and the cave was blown up.

The man in black robe swallowed his saliva and looked at her with horror. This person was really terrifying. How could he control the earthquake and explode wherever he wanted? It was incredible. It turned out that he was right to rely on this woman.

"Hoo, hoo, don't delay any longer, get out of here quickly."

"Xiao Hei, lead the way, hurry up."

"Yes, follow me..."

After Jiang Li led the people down the mountain, he took out the token and handed it over: "Lianhu Town is too remote. Even if something goes wrong, it will be difficult to spread the news. When you go back, pack up your things and hurry to the southern border."

The mayor was a middle-aged man. He held the token in his hand and said blankly, "My benefactor, those things are gone. Can't we go back?"

"No, these things are too weird, you can't deal with them. If you go back, if they come back, even if you want to report to the court, you won't have that chance. It's better to go to the southern border, where these ghosts dare not go."

"Take the token and someone will make arrangements for you. You can go home only after all those ghosts are dealt with. Don't take any chances, or your entire town will be wiped out."

Jiang Li glanced around and took in their expressions. How could he not understand that after they came out, they still wanted to go back. It was too dangerous. If they were caught again, they would not be so lucky.

When the mayor heard her say this, he said solemnly: "Okay, I will take my people back to pack up and leave Lotus Town within three days and head to the southern border. However, the Yu Kingdom army is also going to the southern border. If we go there, will it be..."

"No, if you want to live, go. If you want to die, stay."

These people were so annoying that her patience was almost exhausted.

An old woman stepped forward with a look of dissatisfaction on her face: "Girl, since you are so powerful, why can't you escort us to the southern border? What if we encounter danger again on the way?"

Hearing this, Jiang Li stared at her expressionlessly and curled his lips: "Oh, this is how you treat your benefactor. It's fine if you're not grateful for my saving you, but you still want me to send you there. Are you okay?"

"In a word, if you go, you have a chance to survive, but if you stay here, you will die."

After saying that, he turned and left, and a voice floated over: "Xiao Hei, follow me. Mayor, it's up to you to decide. If you want to leave, go. If you don't want to leave, stay."

"It's hard to persuade a damned devil with good words, so everyone should take care of themselves!"

Xiao Hei quickly followed, leaving the people of Lotus Town staring at each other. They were at a loss for a moment, and all looked at the mayor with pleading eyes: "Mayor, should we go or not?"

"If we go there, it will be very dangerous along the way..."

The mayor looked around and said calmly, "Fellow villagers, those who are willing to leave can follow me the day after tomorrow. Those who are unwilling can stay. It is up to you to make your own choice. No one is allowed to persuade you. Everyone has his own destiny. So let it be."

On the other side, Jiang Li took Xiao Hei and rushed towards the southern border.

Xiao Hei asked in confusion: "You were going to the southern border anyway, why didn't you go with them? This way you can be protected, and it will only delay you a little, which is actually nothing."

"Shut up, that's not just wasting time, that's not going to do anything. I was very kind to save them. I'm not their parents, so I need to be responsible for them. If they want to live, go ahead. If they don't want to live, that's up to you."

"Okay, okay, you guys are all soft-hearted, aren't you?"

Jiang Li glanced at him and said unhappily, "It's none of my business. Hurry up and leave. I'm in a hurry. Stop wasting time..."
