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

Jiang Li did not dare to delay at all on the road, and arrived at the southern border three days ahead of schedule. With the help of the token, he successfully entered the city and went straight to the city guard house. He thought everything would go smoothly, but he was stopped at the door.

Seeing that she was dusty and her clothes were a little tattered, the doorman whispered to her, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into General Huo's mansion? You really don't know how to live or die. Go, leave quickly."

"...??"

"Uh, what if we can't get in? Where's your token?"

Xiao Hei held the token and handed it over, but it was thrown to the ground by the doorkeeper. He was a little surprised, and then he heard the doorkeeper's face full of displeasure: "This is the first time, do you really think we are fools? Someone, arrest this spy."

Jiang Li's eyes swept over their faces and saw that they were defensive, as if they were guarding against something. Oh, right, the atmosphere after entering the city was not right. The people were a little too quiet. The Yu Kingdom hadn't arrived yet, so why was it like this?

Seeing the people coming to arrest him, Jiang Li didn't care about anything else. He flew over the wall, holding a maid, and urged: "Take me to see General Huo, quickly."

Men Ding looked at the disappeared person, his face changed drastically and he shouted: "Come here, assassin, catch the assassin!"

The group of people chased towards the backyard. The door was suddenly empty. Xiao Hei stood there, raised his hand and touched his head. His bloodshot eyes were full of confusion. He muttered softly, "What's going on? Is he crazy?"

Without thinking about anything else, I raised my foot and followed.

Jiang Li carried the maid and quickly came to the backyard, put the person down, pushed open the door, and the strong bitter smell of medicine hit his nose. He subconsciously raised his hand, covered his nose, walked over, and met a pair of sharp eyes.

"You are... Huo Boshan?"

Huo Boshan fumbled with one hand, holding the dagger tightly, staring at the other party: "Who sent you as a killer? You only sent a little girl this time. You really underestimated me."

Confused, Jiang Li looked at him in silence as the two men confronted each other.

After a few moments, Jiang Li's brain was no longer stuck. She raised her hand and a white ball flashing with lightning appeared on her palm. She said softly, "I am Jiang Li, the eldest princess of Qi State. Didn't General Huo receive the letter? Why is he so embarrassed? Who wants to kill you?"

Huo Boshan's eyes fell on her hand, and he widened his eyes slightly: "Letter, I have never received any letter, only a verbal message. It was sent by someone with a token, claiming to be sent by the princess, and told me to wait for Yu Country to arrive and start the war as soon as possible."

"What? Start a war as soon as possible? No, I never said that. The letter was sent by someone. I'm afraid that person is suspicious."

"General Huo, how was he assassinated?"

"It's a long story. I didn't see it clearly. It was a man in black. The strange thing is that I clearly remember stabbing him, but for some reason, he didn't seem to react at all."

Jiang Li's eyes flashed, and she thought of a possibility. She opened her mouth to speak, but there was a noise outside. The servants saw her, raised their weapons, and rushed towards her.

"General, this man is an assassin, you must be careful..."

As soon as the voice fell, Jiang Li disappeared, and instantly appeared beside the bed, with a helpless look on his face: "I am not an assassin. If you want to kill General Huo, it is easy. Put down your weapon first and explain it slowly, okay? Don't do it."

Xiao Hei squeezed in and waved his hand: "Princess, I'm here."

Huo Boshan coughed twice, and blood slowly seeped out of the wound on his chest. He waved his hand and said, "Go down, call the general advisor, and the two young masters, and go to the study to discuss things."

"Ahem, don't worry, this general is fine."

Jiang Li glanced at him, his eyes fell on the blood oozing out of his chest, his fingers moved slightly, and he took out a white porcelain bottle and handed it to him: "Here is the best medicine, you will get better soon after taking it, General Huo, please accept it."

"Okay, thank you Princess. Please leave for a while. I will change my clothes and go to the study to discuss things later..."

"Okay, got it. I'll go out and wait."

Huo Boshan looked down at the wound, poured out the medicine from the porcelain bottle, and swallowed it without hesitation. The bleeding stopped soon, and it could be said to be a miracle drug. After getting dressed, he opened the door and said respectfully, "Princess, please move to the study."

Jiang Li nodded, and after walking a few steps, he remembered something and looked at him: "General Huo, do you have anything to eat? I was busy on the road and didn't eat properly. I'm almost starving. Please have someone send some food to the study, and we can talk while we eat."

He suppressed the smile that was about to appear on his face, and became more and more certain of her identity. Her gluttony was just as the rumors said. This person must be the eldest princess. He didn't expect her to come so soon.

She turned her head and looked at the maid beside her, and ordered, "Go, ask the kitchen to prepare more food, in larger quantities, and send it directly to the study."

"Yes, General."

The two walked towards the study, with Xiao Hei following behind. Huo Boshan glanced at them and asked softly, "Princess, who is this?"

Jiang Li said in a relaxed tone: "Xiao Hei, I snatched him from the villain's lair. He's a very obedient... thing. I'll tell you more about it in the study later. Don't worry, he can't hurt anyone. By the way, my shadow guards will be here in a few days."

Huo Boshan raised his eyebrows, a little surprised: "Princess, you came here alone, why didn't you bring your shadow guard with you? What if you encounter danger? What should we do?"

"It's okay. If I can't handle it, they will just be killed. I was dealing with something earlier, and I was afraid it would take too long, so I asked the shadow guards to leave early. I didn't expect it to be handled quickly, so I arrived here first."

"I see."

As they talked, they soon reached the door of the study. After Huo Boshan entered, he pointed to the upper seat and said, "Princess, you are of noble status, so you should sit in the upper seat."

Jiang Li waved his hand and refused directly: "No, you are the guest. General Huo is the host, so he should sit in the upper seat. Please come. By the way, is the food ready? I am so hungry~~~"

"Ha, the princess's personality is exactly as the rumors say. Sit down and wait for a moment. She will be here soon."

Soon, the dishes were served one after another. Huo Boshan glanced at the others and said in a gentle voice, "Since you are here, why don't you eat something together? We can talk while we eat. Big Boss, have you prepared the defense of the military camp?"

Huo Mingxuan was a gentleman and gentle, and he said softly, "Don't worry, Dad. Everything is normal in the military camp. The spies who sneaked in were also cleared out in time. There is no need to worry."

"That's good."

Several people looked across at the person who was eating happily, but said nothing.

After eating half his fill, Jiang Li sat up straight and briefly explained the whole story, including what happened in Lotus Town. Seeing their eyes full of horror, he pointed at the black-robed man who had no sense of presence at the side.

"Yes, he is one of them. Xiao Hei, let's perform a miracle and show them how to perform it. Otherwise, no one will believe it if you tell them this."
