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

When Meixiang saw him rushing towards her, her eyes dimmed. She thought it would be better to die with a clean body than to be defiled by such a dirty thing. She bit her tongue and was about to commit suicide.

There was a bang, and the old man who was about to pounce was kicked away, hit his head against the wall and fainted.

Jiang Li pinched her cheek, tilted his head, and looked at her expressionlessly: "Hey, little girl, don't be upset. The old man is fainted, you don't have to die."

"...!!"

He opened his eyes tremblingly and saw three masked men standing there. His eyes widened unconsciously: "Who are you? Why are you here? Leave quickly, it's very dangerous here."

"The Jia family has many servants, and they will be here soon. You should leave now while you can..."

Meixiang's eyes dimmed. She couldn't go out. Even if she went out, she couldn't come back home. If she went back, her aunt would sell her again. Maybe next time she wouldn't be a concubine, but go to a brothel.

It would be better to wait for death here than to be humiliated.

Jiang Li saw her eyes light up and darken, and was very confused: "What's wrong with you? Do you want me to take you out? I can take you out, but you have to pretend you didn't see anything we do, otherwise...well, I'll kill you."

Gongzi Yu, who was standing aside, had a dark complexion. He touched the back of his neck with a resentful look in his eyes. This dwarf actually knocked him out. It was really too much.

He snorted coldly, "Little dwarf, you insist on saving me. You see, this will definitely alert the enemy. What should we do? Will we have wasted our trip tonight?"

"Why are you running here for nothing? It's impossible. A thief never leaves empty-handed, so how can he return empty-handed?"

Jiang Li's eyes fell on the person in the wedding dress, and he moved closer to ask, "What's your name? Can you cooperate with me and put on a show? When I'm done, I'll come and pick you up."

"It is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. No matter what time it is, don't seek death easily. If you must die, take a few more people with you, otherwise it will be a big loss. Do you understand?"

Mei Xiang: "...I am Mei Xiang."

Jiang Li was about to say something when Gongzi Yu pulled him aside and urged him, "Little dwarf, can you please stop talking about family matters? We are risking our lives. If we delay any longer, it will be dangerous. We haven't done anything yet."

"Can we wait until we're done with this girl's problem before we solve it?"

Seeing that the person was about to collapse, Jiang Li nodded stupidly: "Okay, I'll tell her, don't forget to call her later, if you call her, the people outside won't come in."

After I finished explaining, I heard Meixiang humming.

"Okay, keep going. It's best if you cry out and struggle until you cry out. This way, people outside won't get suspicious."

"You were kidnapped, and that old man is a pervert. It's normal for you to cry. It's not normal for you to make any sound. Here's the stick for you. If the old man wakes up, you can hit him again."

Meixiang looked at him and said, "Sir, can you really take me out?"

Jiang Li thought about it and nodded: "If nothing unexpected happens, yes. If there is an accident, don't worry, I'm here, there will be no accident."

Gongzi Yu rolled his eyes, tugged at his clothes, and urged: "Hurry up, can you stop wasting time? It will take me some time to crack the mechanism, and Gongzi, you should take care of him."

"...let's go."

"Okay~~"

The three men opened the window and disappeared in an instant.

Meixiang looked down at the stick in her hand, then at the unconscious old man not far away. She shouted as she stepped forward and kicked him, as long as he wasn't killed.

He vented out his anger, sat on the edge of the bed with a dazed look in his eyes and a little panic in his heart. He had been prepared for death and could bite his tongue to commit suicide.

But now she came to her senses and was a little scared. She didn't want to die anymore and she didn't know if her benefactor would come back to take her away. Alas.

The other three flew to the warehouse and knocked the guard unconscious. Gongzi Yu then stepped forward and began to fiddle with the lock.

While fiddling with it, he said proudly: "Come here, little dwarf. I'll show you what it means to rely on your brain instead of brute force. You just lack brains and need to improve them."

Jiang Li ignored him and walked to his side, stretched his head to look, and said casually: "Oh, you are smart, but it's a pity that you have no martial arts skills, so it's inconvenient for you to go anywhere. If you are kidnapped, there is nothing you can do except cry for your parents."

Gong Ziyu: "Just shut up..."

"Oh, it hurts your heart, doesn't it? Hurry up and work. It's just a lock. You won't be unable to open it after wasting so much time."

After saying that, he took a few steps back, crossed his arms over his chest, tilted his body, and one foot was dangling. Seeing this, Mo Yuan, who was standing by, endured it for a moment, and reached out his hand to straighten his body.

"Stand still, don't fall down."

Jiang Li: "Fall down?"

"Sir, do you have a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder? I just can't seem to do it. The obsessive-compulsive disorder of seeing people hanging around, don't tell me, I understand, so I won't hang around."

Half an incense stick of time passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Li pointed and said, "How long will it take him? Why is he so slow? It's just a lock. If it doesn't work, I'll just tear it apart."

"...Do you know what you are talking about? That is a black iron lock. There are many mechanisms inside. If you are not careful, the poisonous needles inside will poke out and you will die on the spot."

Jiang Li blinked his eyes and said, "How about, let me give it a try? That guy obviously can't handle it. He's too useless. Let me do it."

Mo Yuan paused and said, "Then go and try it. Be careful not to get stabbed by the poison needle."

"Well, don't worry, it won't happen."

He walked forward and pulled Gongzi Yu aside, looking at him calmly: "Look, there's really no need to work as hard as you do."

Jiang Li clenched it with both hands, and an electric current flowed in, completely destroying the mechanism inside. He pulled hard again, and with a snap, the lock was torn off. He lowered his head to look at the thing in his hand.

Looking at them, he muttered, "Black iron is very strong, that's all. Let's hurry up and go in and move the things."

Holding the lock, he pushed the door open and went in.

A moment later, the three of them came back with big bags on their backs, which were filled with gold and silver jewelry and various valuable items. Before leaving, Jiang Li kindly bent the lock from the outside and put it back in place, and hung it on top as a disguise.

He returned to Meixiang's window, opened it, and waved: "Meixiang, come here quickly. I'll take you out."

When Meixiang saw him coming, tears suddenly fell.

She thought that this time, like before, she would be abandoned. After all, they didn’t know each other, so who would risk saving someone…

Climbing out on the stool, Jiang Li held her waist and whispered, "Hold tight, we have to leave quickly, don't fall."

"Yes, thank you sir."

Mei Xiang suppressed her shyness, hugged his neck, and buried her face in her neck. Seeing this, Gong Ziyu felt very sad: "Little dwarf, you are really too much. When you took me before, you just carried me on your back."
