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

Si Ling's eyes fell on the silver-haired man and the increasingly aged face. He paused and said, "Well, go find the imperial physician and give him all the medicines that can prolong life. Also, bring Old Mo's granddaughter here. She should follow me in the future."

Mu Li hesitated for a moment before speaking: "My Lord, Mr. Mo's granddaughter had her brain damaged when she was a child, and now she is an idiot. If she follows you, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient."

"It's okay, just treat it as raising a child. Since I promised Mr. Mo, I will not go back on my word. Send Mr. Mo back."

"Yes, my lord."

After Si Ling and others left, he stood there alone, looking at the dim stars in the sky, staring at them infatuatedly for a long time without moving. It was not until very late that he returned to the tent alone.

Early next morning

Mu Li brought a little girl with him, opened the curtain and came in, his face looking a little unhappy: "My Lord, Mr. Mo... passed away. The imperial physician said that his life span has come to an end and there is no way to save him. I'm afraid this is the price of spying on the secrets of heaven."

Si Ling turned around and met the innocent eyes of the little girl. Seeing her smiling happily, he waved and said, "Come here and stay with me from now on. Your grandfather has something to do and will not be back for a long time. He told you to be obedient."

She jumped over and stared at me without blinking: "Pretty brother, I listen to grandpa and follow you, but you are not allowed to control me eating candy, otherwise I will be angry."

"...Children, don't eat too much sugar."

"Well, but I'm already fifteen years old, I'm an adult, not a child, I can eat candy. If pretty brother doesn't agree, then I'll go find grandpa and won't follow you, hehe."

[Ahhh, this handsome brother is so handsome, I like him so much, I really want to stay here, I don’t know where grandpa has gone, I will bring him to grandpa next time, she has found a husband, she will marry this handsome brother.]

Si Ling was choked, and the two of them just stared at each other in silence for a while. After a while, Si Ling picked up the cake at hand and handed it over: "If you want to eat it, you have to be obedient, otherwise you can't eat it."

Seeing how fierce he was, Mo You pouted and sat on the ground, crying loudly: "Wow, I don't want to follow you anymore, my handsome brother is too fierce, I want to go home, I want to go home..."

The terrifying, devil-like crying sound instantly gave Si Ling and Mu Li a headache. They even felt a little regretful. When they agreed to it, Old Mo seemed to be a lot more energetic. It turned out that children were so difficult to raise.

Pressing his swollen and aching head, Si Ling's tone softened a little: "Okay, I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have been so harsh to you. Eat some cakes, okay? Sit down and wait for me."

Hearing this, Mo You looked through his fingers, a childish look flashed in his clear eyes. He stood up, dusted off his butt, sat directly on the chair, and opened his mouth: "Okay, I forgive you, then the pretty brother will feed You You."

"…Hey, feed you?"

"Yes, handsome brother, or I'll cry for you to see."

Mu Li glanced at the master and saw that he rarely had a dazed expression. For some reason, he always had the urge to laugh. He turned his face away and held back his laughter. It was very difficult to hold it back, and his shoulders were shaking slightly.

Si Ling glanced at him, his body filled with chills: "Youyou, I have something to do, how about letting Mu Li feed you?"

"No, grandpa said that only the future husband can feed Youyou. The pretty brother can, but that brother can't. There is a difference between men and women, so you can't feed Youyou. Ah, you can feed Youyou now."

"...Mu Li, you should go out first and handle Mr. Mo's matter decently. Don't let anyone know what happened last night, even to His Majesty. Keep this a secret. Got it?"

Mu Li said respectfully: "Yes, Lord, rest assured, Mu Li will keep his mouth shut."

After Si Ling and the others left, he stiffly picked up a piece of cake and slowly handed it over, feeling a little uncomfortable: "Youyou, eat it. When you are full, go to sleep. I need to take care of other things. You have to be obedient, understand."

"Okay, as long as the handsome brother takes me to play, Youyou will be obedient."

One person was feeding the child, and the child was eating with a smile on his face, which brought a bit of warmth.

the other side

The priest entered the cave in a black robe, passed through layers of mechanisms, and entered the largest cave. He looked at the large altar not far away, where there was an ice coffin emitting cold air. He lowered his head with a fanatical look in his eyes.

"Master, I am back with fresh flesh and blood. You must absorb as much as possible and wake up soon. By then, the whole world will belong to you, and those lowly mortals will not be qualified to live."

Blood flowed from the bamboo poles around the altar, along the altar lines, and flowed towards the ice coffin. After touching the ice coffin, it quickly disappeared. As countless blood was absorbed, the things in the ice coffin curled up slightly.

The priest seemed to notice something and subconsciously looked up, staring at the ice coffin. As usual, there was a hint of disappointment in his blood-red eyes.

He has been patient for so long, spending so much time and effort, and now he is making such a big fuss and killing so many people. He is afraid that he has been targeted. If the Lord does not wake up for a long time, once they find him, even if he has a puppet in his hand, his chances of winning will not be very high.

Alas, with so much blood poured in, even if he didn’t wake up, he should have some consciousness. Why is there still no reaction? Is there something wrong? No, this is what the classics record, he can’t be wrong.

Perhaps, more blood of the Venerable is needed, which is much stronger than that of mortals. Yes, he should capture the Venerable, so that the Lord will be able to wake up faster.

The priest couldn't stand still when he thought of this. He simply said a few words, turned around and walked out. He turned into black mist with the man in black robe and soon disappeared. Naturally, he didn't see what was in the ice coffin. His hands curled up twice...

As night fell, several dark shadows floated into the military camp, seemingly searching for something. After finding their target, they kidnapped the person without alerting anyone.

Early next morning

A harsh sound rang out in the military camp. Si Ling sat up abruptly, put on a coat and went out, asking in a cold voice: "What's wrong? What happened?"

When the guard saw him coming, his eyes lit up and he said hurriedly, "My Lord, two venerables disappeared last night. There were no signs of fighting in the tent, but we searched the entire camp and still couldn't find them."

He narrowed his eyes and said, "What did you say? How could someone disappear innocently?"

"Check, check it out quickly, if anyone has seen anything unknown, please report it immediately, go quickly."

"Yes, my lord."

The curtain behind him was opened, Mo You yawned, came over and pulled his sleeve, shaking back and forth: "Handsome brother, why are you up so early? I'm not awake yet, I'm so sleepy, can you sleep with me?"

When the guard heard this, he glanced over secretly with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
