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

March 7th

The sky is grey.

In Qi State, the barbarian and foreign armies officially started their first battle.

As the vanguard, Jiang Li stood in the front with the other four vanguard teams, with their spears pointed forward like sharp knives, piercing the enemy's heart. The deafening sound of drums made people's hearts unconsciously rise.

It was as quiet as death. In this solemn atmosphere, any sound would be infinitely amplified. Then a strange kaba kaba sound was heard, and everyone's attention was attracted.

They all looked over and saw in the front, a man wearing armor, with half a mask on his face, and hanging... a circle of steamed buns on his body.

"...??"

Lin Xiao noticed their gazes and turned his head to look in the direction they were looking. He saw the centurion holding a spear in one hand pointing forward and holding a bun bigger than his face in the other hand, chewing it.

The whole person seemed to be torn apart. The boss was worthy of being the boss. Even when a war was about to break out, he was still chewing on a bun. But wasn't the sound a little too loud? It was somewhat disrespectful to the barbarians.

Look, the flaming eyes on the opposite side are probably going to eat the boss.

He reached out and tugged at the person next to him, lowering his voice: "Boss, a war is about to start, can you be more serious? This is not the time to eat!!"

Jiang Li slapped his hand away and said calmly, "It's because we haven't fought yet, so we need to replenish our energy. Fighting is very tiring. Are you sure you have time to eat when the fight really starts?"

"I'm afraid that while I'm eating, I'll be hacked to death by someone."

Lin Xiao was silent, thinking secretly, what the boss said makes a lot of sense. Yes, fighting is tiring work. If you run out of energy, you will die. What's the point of caring about face?

No matter what they think, just come over if you have the guts.

"Boss, I want to eat it too. Give me one."

Jiang Li tore off a steamed bun hanging on his body and handed it over, saying faintly: "After the war, don't forget to return it to me. I asked Brother Wang for help to make it, and it cost my food..."

Lin Xiao hummed: "Okay, don't worry, boss, I'll return it to you after the battle."

"Good job, I believe you. If it's not enough, I'll ask Brother Wang to make a lot for you."

The sound of their conversation drifted in the wind. Seeing that they were eating happily, others couldn't help swallowing.

Lin Xiao choked and muttered, "Boss, ask Brother Wang to add more water next time. This is too hard and can kill people. No wonder it made a sound like a rat biting when you ate it."

Jiang Li stopped and looked at him dimly: "What do you mean by like a mouse? I have tried my best to control myself and not make any sound. What's there to be picky about? It's just a little hard, not hard to bite."

"It's good to have something to eat, why are you being so picky?"

"...Oh, okay, Boss, the other side has been watching us."

"They are jealous of us because we have food. Ignore them and eat quickly. The war is about to start. When you go to the battlefield, do what we have rehearsed before. If you are hungry, just shout and I will give you steamed buns."

Jiang Li explained carefully: "Always maintain sufficient physical strength, so that when others are tired, you are not tired, you have already won over others. Being alive is more important than anything else."

Lin Xiao sniffed. The 1.80-meter-tall guy was crying and looking at him with a touched face.

The boss was so good to him. He gave him steamed buns even though no one else did. You know, it's not easy for the boss to snatch food from a tiger's mouth.

The barbarians stared at the dwarf with resentment. The eldest prince ordered that whoever killed the dwarf would be rewarded with 100 gold.

Mo Yuan on his horse twitched his ears, but no one saw the fleeting helplessness in his expression.

A loud horn sounded, and the two sides started fighting. Jiang Li hid the remaining five steamed buns in his arms, held a spear in his left hand, an axe in his right hand, and tied a rope around his waist, and rushed out directly.

When the barbarians saw him coming, they surrounded him.

Jiang Li pulled the corners of his mouth and a weird smile appeared in his eyes. Before they could react, he swung the axe out with such force that he chopped off more than ten heads with one blow.

Just as he had firmly planted his spear on the ground, the others were dumbfounded. Before they could react, they saw the dwarf, with his spear stuck in the ground, jump up with the help of the spear and escape from the encirclement.

He walked straight towards the head that had fallen to the ground, grabbed the head, tied the hair with a rope, and continued to rush forward.

Wang Meng turned his head to look at Lin Xiao, his eyes widened unconsciously, he was distracted and almost pierced through by a knife. He was startled and looked at each other.

I thought to myself, he is worthy of being the boss, dragging a human head with a rope around his waist. The scene is so shocking. Look, those barbarians are retreating unconsciously.

Bah, instead of going to find the boss, I come to find them. Damn, I’m so tired.

"Wang Meng, go to the boss's side. We can't handle it here anymore."

"...Yes, let's go brother."

Jiang Li was busy harvesting heads. When he saw the barbarians dispersed, he frowned. It would be difficult to kill them one at a time. It would be very inefficient.

He glanced and saw the two men running towards him, followed by a number of barbarians. His eyes lit up. Hehe, here they come! It will be much easier to kill them if they are together.

On the battlefield

Blood spilled on the ground like rain, dyeing the originally gray land into dark red. The bloody smell was so strong that it made people breathless.

As time went by, everyone began to lose strength and slowly became listless. The generals on the barbarian side stared at the man who had created a vacuum zone on the battlefield.

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Come here, who is that person? When did the Mohist army have such a vanguard? Kill them for me."

The deputy general trembled and said, "General, it's not that I don't want to kill him, it's that I can't. That man is the one who captured the eldest prince before. He is very strong and powerful. I am really... no match for him."

The general, also known as Hu Hao, had a face full of anger. "What are you talking about? Even if he is powerful, he is just one person. Send more people to surround him. I don't believe that he can't be killed."

"...General, look behind him. Those are the heads of our soldiers. He is simply a living devil. No one dares to provoke him."

"Spread out a little, at least the casualties will be slower. If we all surround them, I'm afraid more people will die. The morale is greatly reduced now, General, think twice."

Hu Hao's lips under his beard moved slightly, but he finally swallowed his words and took a deep look at the energetic man who was harvesting the heads of the barbarians with one blow after another.

He was filled with rage and he had to kill this man. If that wasn't possible on the battlefield, then he would assassinate or poison him. In short, he must not let him live.

His eyes fell on the defeated soldiers, and his heart ached.
