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

"Now that he sees a girl, his attitude has changed. He actually knows how to be gentle with women and even hugs her. Sir, you see how much he is going too far..."

Mo Yuan glanced at him coldly and said, "You don't need to follow me next time I go out. You are too useless. It's a waste of effort to bring this with you. When you go back, practice some Qinggong. It will be useful when you want to escape in the future."

"Three, let's go."

"As you wish, sir."

Gongzi Yu was still being carried by someone, but instead of being carried by Jiang Li, he was carried by Mo Yuan. He was tossed back and forth like a sandbag, and soon he fainted completely.

The four of them came to the previously empty yard and put the person down.

Jiang Li took out a banknote from his pocket and put it into Mei Xiang's hand: "This is for you. When the sun rises, you will take the banknote and leave here. Go far away and find a small village to live a peaceful life."

Meixiang's tears flowed down her cheeks. She shook her head and refused to answer. Her voice was choked with sobs: "Sir, can I follow you? I can do the laundry and cooking. Besides, I eat very little. I will never trouble you."

She knelt down with a plop and begged, "Master, please let me follow you to repay you for saving my life. After I repay you, Meixiang will definitely leave."

Jiang Li looked at Mo Yuan with a questioning look.

Mo Yuan raised his eyebrows: "You saved her yourself, so you decide for yourself. You can arrange for her to stay outside and buy a small house, so that she can have a place to stay. As for where to buy, you have to think carefully. This place is definitely not an option, and the Jia family will find out."

Meeting that pair of bright dark eyes, Mo Yuan couldn't help but soften his heart.

"Perhaps, we can arrange it in Beihuang City. There is a general's mansion guarding it. The city is very safe. You can decide for yourself."

Wang Xiaosan is physically disabled, so he needs someone to take care of him. This girl looks good, has backbone, and knows how to be grateful. It's okay to let her follow him, but she can't enter the military camp.

It’s not bad to let the mistress stay outside and have her as a homemaker.

Jiang Li's eyes lit up. She knew that the young general was a good man with a cold exterior but a warm heart. Just like her captain, he had a stern face but would still help when something happened.

However, she didn't know that the other person was helping her with the intention of finding her a wife.

"Sir, you are such a good person. I understand. Should we leave the city now? If it's too late, we might be discovered."

Mo Yuan nodded: "Yes, let's go out of the city. It will be troublesome for you to take them back and forth. I... can't climb such a high city wall with people."

Although I don't want to admit it, Wang Xiaosan's Qinggong is so strange and amazing, and he is so strong that I can't deny it. But why can't I feel that he has internal strength...

Jiang Li was very straightforward: "No problem, just leave it to me."

After a brief discussion, the four of them left the city and headed towards Beihuang City.

By the time we arrived, it was almost dawn.

They went into the city through the tunnel. Of course, Meixiang was blindfolded. Mo Yuan didn't completely trust her yet, so he had to be careful to avoid being tricked.

After entering the city, they arranged for Meixiang to take care of her. The three of them drove a carriage filled with stolen gold, silver and treasures, and headed towards the military camp. The attire of the three of them had already changed.

Mo Yuan and Jiang Li sat in the carriage, staring at each other.

"...Xiao San, when you come to see Miss Meixiang next time, be careful not to tell anyone about what happened in the military camp. Do you understand what this general means?"

Jiang Li nodded and said solemnly: "I understand. I have memorized all the military discipline. In fact, I don't know how to come back. Saving people is just a matter of convenience. I gave her a place to stay and some money. The rest is up to me."

"I'm not a parent who should take care of everything. I can't even take care of myself."

Mo Yuan was stunned for a moment: "You... don't want to find a companion?"

"I don't understand what the Major General is talking about. What companion?"

"If you don't plan to marry a woman, you will stay in the military camp forever. The war will end one day. By then, the relationship with the one who saved your life will have to be more solid."

Jiang Li pointed at himself, his eyes shocked: "What, I want to marry a wife, how can it be possible for the young general? I can't marry a wife."

Mo Yuan frowned: "...You want to save someone just for the sake of convenience, not to marry her?"

"Yeah, why would I harm anyone if I don't have that ability?"

"General...I misunderstood. I thought you saved people in order to marry a woman to live with you forever. That girl is indeed good, but since you don't have that intention, that's even better."

"Miss Meixiang can live well in the city as long as she is willing to work."

Jiang Li hummed and quietly moved her butt. She wanted to stay away from the young general. She didn't expect that someone who was usually so serious could be so gossipy. She was the kind of person who would repay a favor.

I just felt that life was not easy for women in this era, and the girl was courageous, so it would be a pity if she died, so I saved her.

Looking at him, he emphasized, "Major General, I really just saved you by chance. I definitely don't have any improper intentions. Don't get me wrong."

A trace of discomfort flashed across Mo Yuan's stern face, and he said sullenly, "Well, I see. Sorry."

Hearing his apology, Jiang Li waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just clear up the misunderstanding. If you come to Beihuang City in the future, I will take a look. Miss Meixiang is smart, and her life will not be too bad."

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, but fortunately the carriage stopped soon.

Jiang Li knew that these treasures would eventually be used to pay for military expenses and had nothing to do with her, so she could go back and have a good rest.

"Major General, is there anything else I need to do?"

"It's alright, go back and rest. I'll record your military merits and exchange them for food, and I'll have someone send them to you."

"it is good"

Jiang Li jumped off the carriage quickly and ran away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Gongzi Yu opened the curtain and was confused: "Why is that dwarf running so fast? There is no ghost chasing him."

“…You’re too talkative.”

"Yes, Major General, what should we do with these things?"

"Take it to the forest and take it through the tunnel. After Wu Yong leaves, find a way to exchange it for silver and buy more food to prevent the price from going up later."

"I obey my orders."

After returning to the tent, Jiang Li simply washed up and lay down on the bed. He thought he would fall asleep, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he closed his eyes. In desperation, he had to get up and go to the cook.

Leaning against the kitchen door, he called out, "Brother Wang, I'll give you some maltose. I bought it a while ago. It's so sweet and delicious."

Wang Dashan saw him coming back and waved his hand: "No, I'm a rough guy and don't like candy. If you like it, keep it for yourself and eat it slowly."

"I haven't seen Xiaosan these days. Is he out?"

"Well, I'm going out to do something. Brother Wang has been busy lately."

"It's nothing. I just caught a lot of pheasants a few days ago. I thought you like to eat meat, so I kept them for you. But I haven't seen you for a few days, so I was afraid they would go bad, so I had to eat them."
