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

The queen didn't say anything. While she wasn't paying attention, she directly pulled her hand and lifted her sleeve. Looking at the shocking cracks, her eyes subconsciously widened a little and tears fell uncontrollably.

It dripped onto the back of Jiang Li's hand, feeling a little hot, and he subconsciously shrank back.

With a handkerchief in one hand, she wiped her tears and choked up, "Li'er, this is what you said, it's okay. Mother knew that if you weren't injured too badly, why would you delay returning to the capital? It's really like this, it's all broken!"

"Woo, woo, how could it be so badly injured?"

Jiang Li threw himself into her arms and said coquettishly, "Mother, I'm really fine. As long as I'm alive, nothing else matters. The scars look scary, but as long as I take good care of them, they will fade away soon."

The queen sniffed and felt more uncomfortable. How could it be so easy? Just one look at those black cracks made her scalp tingle. She couldn't bear to think about how much pain her daughter would feel.

"How did you heal the scars on your face?"

"Well, this is all thanks to Chuchu. When Chuchu grows up, he will be able to use that power to help me remove the scars on my body bit by bit. I am lucky to be alive."

Jiang Li thought of the human head and his eyes darkened. He would try the magma next time. If it could melt, there would be no more trouble. If not, it would be okay. He could just try more. It wouldn't hurt her, so it didn't matter.

The mother and daughter talked for a long time before Jiang Li carried the child out of the palace. Not long after returning to the general's mansion, someone delivered a letter. After reading the news in the letter, Jiang Li curled his lips. It was really endless.

Mo Yuan saw that her face was not very good, took a look, and said softly: "Si Ling's letter, I didn't expect that those blood corpses would be related to Wuliang Temple. What do you plan to do next, my lady?"

"While cleaning up the bloody corpses, we also need to prepare to encircle and suppress the charlatan."

"No wonder. I didn't get along with Baldy back then. These people have been eating blood-curdling buns and helping that thing to create more blood corpses. It's really damned if they come out."

Jiang Li narrowed her eyes, which were full of murderous intent. All those who were related to the blood corpse and forced her to fight this evil thing were her enemies.

Mo Yuan nodded and said softly, "Okay, I will accompany you then. I'll be fine with Papa here, don't worry."

"That's fine, but what about Chuchu?"

"It's okay. Let my elder brother take care of it for now. My second elder brother and I have been raised by my elder brother since we were young. Every time I saw his face for the first time, I drooled. If I leave it to him, I won't cry, but only laugh."

Jiang Li's mouth twitched. Thinking of his daughter's face-obsessed appearance, he muttered quietly, "That girl is already obsessed with face at such a young age. Will it get worse in the future? I'd better not get involved in romantic relationships then..."

Mo Yuan smiled and shook his head: "Not really, Chuchu is still young and doesn't understand anything now. It's getting late, you should go to bed early."

After dark, several swaying figures ran towards the village. Soon, screams were heard. As the fireworks rose into the sky, brilliant colors bloomed in the night and attracted people's attention.

Soon someone came, cleaned up the things in the village, and dragged them away. Soon thick smoke rose and a burning smell came. The surviving people in the village turned pale with fright when they saw this scene.

From time to time, the sound of retching could be heard, but the officers remained calm. After disposing of the things, they gave a few instructions to the villagers before leaving.

Above the Yu Kingdom Palace

Si Ling stood below, with the emperor's pressing gaze above his head.

Seeing him like this, Yu Di sneered, "My Lord, this is why you retreated. You didn't know how to seize such a good opportunity. If you kill the one from Qi Kingdom, the world will naturally belong to Yu Kingdom."

"…In reply to your Majesty, I cannot do this. The evil god was stopped by the princess alone. Otherwise, we would not be able to return, and the blood of the soldiers would remain there and be absorbed by that thing."

"Oh, rumors are just rumors. I don't believe they can be so terrible."

Si Ling felt powerless when she heard that. She was right about one thing. Even though they were respected, they were just tools in the eyes of the emperor. Without her, they could not live a peaceful life in Qi State.

He lowered his head slightly, his expression indifferent: "If your majesty doesn't believe me, you can come and take a look. I just caught a batch and haven't had time to burn it yet. Now is a good time to go and take a look."

After saying that, he ignored everyone else and turned around and walked outside.

When Yu Di saw him like this, his eyes became darker and darker, but soon returned to normal, and he stood up and said, "My dear ministers, since the priests say so, let's go and see how terrifying that thing is."

The court officials looked at each other in bewilderment.

Outside the hall, there was a large cage with several bloody corpses in it. They were curled up at first, but when they sensed someone coming, they became a little agitated, stood up and lay on the cage, roaring, their blood-red eyes full of bloodthirstiness.

Si Ling took two steps forward and said casually, "Go and bring the death row prisoner here so that His Majesty and the ministers can see how powerful this blood corpse is. We will also deal with the Puppet Master later."

"Yes, Lord."

Not long after, two death row prisoners were brought in. They were confused when they were stuffed into cages. Before they could react, their bodies were surrounded, pressed to the ground and bitten. The severe pain in their bodies made them scream miserably.

"Ahhh, monster, there's a monster here!!"

When the ministers saw this bloody scene, they swallowed unconsciously and looked at him with horror and disbelief. Why was the Lord like this? He used to be very easy to talk to and would never be so cruel.

When Yu Di saw this scene, he felt sympathetic. He slowly exhaled and his voice softened a lot: "Priest, you have been out these days just to catch this thing, but there are other things."

"Yes, you will see it soon. It's just a puppet."

An hour later, it was all over.

Si Ling looked at them calmly, and heard the sound of them vomiting. The corners of his mouth twitched, but he quickly retracted his mouth and said in a gentle voice: "Everyone, do you still think this thing is easy to deal with? There are only a few of them. If there are more..."

"Your Majesty, the leg I brought back must be frozen, and no one can move it. Otherwise, if something happens, the consequences will be disastrous. I hope Your Majesty will be cautious and send more guards to watch over it."

Emperor Yu hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Okay, I will handle this matter. You clean up this place as soon as possible. Next time you catch this thing, don't bring it back to the palace, so as not to hurt the concubines and princes. Got it."

"...Yes, Your Majesty, please rest assured."
