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

The next day at dawn

Jiang Li yawned and leaned against a wooden stake, waiting for the young general to come out, his eyes wide open, staring at a motionless spot.

When Mo Yuan came out, he saw this scene. The man was leaning against a wooden stake, exuding loneliness and desolation, as if he had been abandoned by everyone. He was so pitiful that it made people feel distressed.

My heart ached and my brows frowned. Before I could react, a familiar voice came to my ears.

"Major General, can we go now? I'm so hungry. Let's go to town for breakfast."

Before Mo Yuan had time to feel what was going on with his heartache, he was interrupted. He looked down at the person whose voice was filled with excitement, and shook his head, thinking that he must have seen it wrong.

How can a person who only cares about eating be lonely?

"Okay, let's go."

Her eyes fell on the clothes on him, she frowned, turned her head and said, "Gong Ziyu, go find some clothes for Xiao San. His military uniform is not suitable for going to town. It will easily attract attention."

Gongzi Yu said bitterly: "Young General, there is no clothes that can fit him. He is too short. He will look like a little kid wearing adult clothes, which is even more out of place."

"...You don't have a suitable one, why don't you ask someone else? You are so stupid."

Oh, he was scolded again. He has been scolded countless times because of this dwarf. It is really heartbreaking. He was obviously the one closest to the major general before, but now everything has been snatched away by that dwarf.

After a stick of incense

Jiang Li changed into a linen men's suit, and the three of them went to Taohua Town together. This was her first time in the town. She watched people coming and going and listened to the lively hawking sounds.

It feels like a different world, a world without zombies, so heartwarming.

Mo Yuan pulled his shoulder and led him to the side, lowering his head with some concern: "Xiao San, are you scared by the battlefield? Why do you look a little lost? If you are not feeling well, take more rest in the next few days."

"No, it's the first time I've seen such a lively scene, and I was a little stunned. Sir, let's go. I'm too hungry to walk."

"Okay, let's go eat noodles."

Gong Ziyu stretched his head aside and said: "Let's go eat noodles, or wontons. Granny Wang's wontons are delicious. It's a good time to take Xiao San to try them."

Mo Yuan said calmly, "Are you sure that the wontons at Grandma Wang's house are enough for Xiao San? Let's just eat noodles. Even if they are not very delicious, at least they can fill you up."

...Well, that made a lot of sense, he couldn't refute it.

That little dwarf eats too much. If he really goes to eat wontons, I guess even if I treat him to a meal today, he will end up being a pauper. Oh, so sad.

Jiang Li didn't say anything. She was just a freeloader. What right did she have to demand what to eat? It was good enough to have something to eat. She was not picky.

The three of them found a noodle shop, sat down, and ordered twelve servings of noodles, ten of which... were all for the dwarf. It was quite incredible; how could he eat so much when he was so small?

Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man brought up three bowls first. Then he saw the smallest one picking up chopsticks and starting to eat. After a while, one bowl was gone. He blinked, a little surprised.

Jiang Li stood up, holding the bowl, and looked at the old man eagerly: "Grandpa, I want to eat more. I'm not full."

"...Okay, haha, the little kid doesn't look very old, but he can eat so much. How old are you? Has he married yet?"

"About 17 or 18 years old, unmarried, and without any conditions."

The old man's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he laughed and said, "No conditions mean no money, right? Oh, it doesn't matter. As long as you are capable and can endure hardships, and treat the girl well, it won't be difficult to get married."

Jiang Li felt that he had misunderstood, and was about to say that she didn't have the tools to commit the crime, but was interrupted: "Xiao San, sit down, they will bring it over. If you look at them like that, the old man will be scared."

He sat down obediently and looked over in confusion: "Why are you scared? I didn't kill anyone. What does it mean?"

"Hey, you have evil spirit on you, restrain yourself a little, or you will scare the old man. Yesterday, you killed so many people that you lost count. Naturally, the evil spirit will not be easily dissipated."

Jiang Li blinked his eyes, adjusted himself, and instantly became more friendly.

"Gong Ziyu, this is much better, isn't it?"

"Bah, why are you calling me by my name? Call me Young Master, do you understand? Don't call me by my name directly, that's for elders."

Jiang Li was puzzled: "Why, you also think your name is ugly, it's okay, my name is even uglier, and I didn't say you can't call me that, don't be so stingy."

"...Forget it, I can't reason with you. Anyway, don't call me that. If you must, just call me Yi Yang. This is my name."

Gongzi Yu was very proud. This was the name given to him by his grandfather. It was so nice, much better than that of Wang Xiaosan. Bah, why should he compare himself with a dwarf who came from a poor family and probably didn't even have a name.

"Okay, Yiyang, it sounds pretty good."

"Hey, of course. If you want to say it sounds good, this one sounds better. Do you want to ask?"

Gongzi Yu's eyes were full of the feeling of enjoying a good show. He hated being asked about his handwriting the most because his handwriting was really funny.

Jiang Li shook his head: "No, if they are willing to say it, then they can say it. If they are not willing, then forget it. You must want to harm me again, humph."

He lowered his head and concentrated on eating.

After eating ten bowls in a row, Jiang Li was finally full. Her eyebrows were curved and her eyes were full of satisfaction. It felt so good to have a full meal. In another two months, her supernatural powers would be almost fully restored.

This recovery speed was already much faster than she had previously imagined.

Mo Yuan glanced at him and asked softly, "Are you full, Xiao San?"

Jiang Li nodded: "I'm full, thank you sir, where are we going now?"

"To do something big."

"it is good"

After paying the money, the three of them left quickly. Not long after, they entered a yard. Jiang Li looked around. There was nothing special about the yard. She wondered why the young general brought her here.

Mo Yuan sat in the yard and called out, "You guys come sit here for a while, it's still early, it will be better if we go after dark."

Gongzi Yu asked in confusion: "Young General, what are you going to do? Are you asking us to become thieves?"

"Well, robbing the rich to help the poor."

“…Really?!”

"Otherwise, it looks like this general is joking."

Jiang Li raised his hand at the side: "Major General, robbing the rich to help the poor, I want to know, who are the poor, the common people or us?"

Mo Yuan gave him an appreciative look and said, "Not bad, Xiao San now knows how to use his brain. We are the only ones who are poor. The military pay is not enough, so we have to find the corrupt officials to borrow some."

"Oh, I understand. It's the kind that just doesn't return it. I like it."

Gongzi Yu muttered quietly, "That's just stealing, General, you will lead the little ones astray if you do this."
