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

Jiang Li's heart started beating fast when she heard this. It turned out that this was just the beginning, not the end. When she thought about the chaos in the world, how the people would suffer, how there would be unrest and no safe place anywhere, she suddenly felt unwell.

Gongzi Yu saw that his face was ugly and the pressure around him was terrifying. He blushed and said, "Hey, don't get excited. It's not that easy for the world to be in chaos. I was just talking nonsense."

"…Are you looking for death?"

He touched his nose and said awkwardly, "That's not the case. There is such a possibility. When a war starts, things are often out of control."

"You see, the two countries have lost strength due to the war. If we take advantage of the situation, it would be easy to destroy one country. In the face of absolute interests, nothing is impossible."

"Not to mention, the two largest countries both have venerables. Once they take action, no one will be able to resist."

Having touched the blind spot, Jiang Li looked confused: "What do you mean? What is a Venerable? Explain it clearly."

She still knew too little about this place. She thought it would be enough to know the situation in Qi State, but now she is afraid that she needs to know something about the situation in all countries. So what could be better than finding this know-it-all?

Gongzi Yu thought about this kid, who knows where he came from, and he was relieved. He patiently explained: "Your Excellency, you can only control gold, wood, water, fire and earth. In other words, you are beyond the scope of ordinary people."

"For example, the chief priest of the Cloud Nation controls the wind and can use it to kill people without them even noticing. However, that person is quite calm and indifferent and often stays in the temple."

"The chief priest of Yu Nation can manipulate water and kill people with it. It is said that he can also turn water into ice spikes. However, it is just a rumor and no one has ever seen it because everyone who has seen it has died."

The corner of Jiang Li's mouth twitched. Why did this sound so much like a psychic? Then what exactly were her lightning and space abilities?

"What about other countries? Do they have the so-called venerables?"

Gong Ziyu spread his hands and said, "I don't know. I only heard about it. Who can see it? The only people who have seen it are dead. They will not leave anyone alive after they attack."

"...Then, is there anyone venerable in Qi country?"

Since there are people with special powers here, then when the opportunity arises in the future, she can also reveal her special powers, become a Venerable, and intimidate other countries to stop acting rashly.

Gongzi Yu shook his head: "No, if there was, the barbarians would not have the courage to attack us. It is not easy to have a venerable. It is considered good luck to have one in a hundred years."

Jiang Li's eyes flickered as he casually asked, "Have you ever heard of anyone who can control lightning?"

"Pfft, you little dwarf, you are really fanciful. The five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth do not include the element of thunder. Anyway, I have never heard of it."

"Xiao San, why are you asking this all of a sudden? Have you seen it?"

"...No, I'm just curious. Listening to these is like listening to a fairy tale. It's very interesting. Do you have any objections?"

Gongzi Yu waved his hand, and seeing that his complexion had improved a lot, he stood up and said, "I'm leaving first, you should have a good rest."

After Jiang Li waited for him to go out, his face was serious and his eyes were terribly cold. It seemed that the war had to be ended as soon as possible. They couldn't continue to fight like this, as both countries would be almost exhausted.

At that time, there would certainly be chaos in the world. If it ends early, the two countries will not suffer much loss, or only the barbarians will suffer great loss, at least the stability of Qi State can be maintained.

If anything unexpected happens, Qi State will still have the strength to resist instead of being slaughtered. As for the matter of the superpowers, we must also investigate it thoroughly. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we avoid being so passive.

Let's do it one by one. At present, the only thing she can think of to improve the combat effectiveness is to improve the weapons. The weapons used by Qi State are mostly made of iron, and the kind with impurities, which are too brittle.

It would be great if we had steel. The overall quality of the weapons would be improved by several levels, the lethality would be stronger, and it would be more able to subdue and scare the barbarians.

Only after the war is over can she return to the capital earlier and find a way to save the life of her father, the original owner's tyrant emperor, and stabilize the Qi Kingdom. Only in this way will she have enough energy to go to other countries and find out the truth about the superpowers.

I don’t know how big the gap is between the venerables here and the supernatural beings in the last days. I need to figure out what level they are.

As Jiang Li was thinking, his head started to hurt. He had no choice but to lie down and sleep. Eating and sleeping were the most important things in the world. He would wait until his body recovered a little before going to look for the young general.

A few days later, Jiang Li had almost recovered and ran to Mo Yuan's tent, and the two of them stared at each other.

"Xiao San, now that you've recovered, come out."

"I have recovered. Major General, I want to go out and look for a magical weapon. It may take a long time, but if I can find it, I am confident that I can end the war and return to Beijing within half a year."

Mo Yuan's eyebrows jumped when he heard this: "Xiao San, are you sure you are not joking? This kind of thing is not a joke."

Jiang Li said solemnly: "I know, I am not joking, I am serious, but that kind of magic weapon needs time to refine, I hope the major general can let Lin Xiao and the others go with me."

"…How confident are you?"

"Fifty percent. If we can refine it, we can end the war sooner. If we can't, Qi will surely die in this tug-of-war. We might as well take a gamble and burn our boats."

There was dead silence in the tent, and no one spoke for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Mo Yuan said in a deep voice, "Okay, Xiao San, I believe in you. Go ahead and give it a try. Regardless of whether you succeed or not, you must come back within a year and bring the money with you."

Jiang Li shook his head: "No need for silver. If you are short of silver, just go up the mountain to find a bandit's den and rob a few more."

Seeing that he spoke calmly, Mo Yuan didn't know what to say. Robbing a bandit's lair was something only he could do. He raised his hand and pressed his aching head.

He said weakly, "Be more restrained, be careful and don't get caught in it. Some of these bandit dens are not simple."

"Yes, Major General, I will leave tomorrow. Please be careful."

Mo Yuan hummed, remembering something he hadn't asked yet: "Xiao San, did you suffer any damage to your body when you saved me last time? Also, I feel that my body is suddenly much stronger than before. What's going on?"

Jiang Li pursed his lips. What else could it be? That was the blood of a psychic, and a sixth-level one at that. Even if he couldn't turn the other person into a psychic, it could at least improve his physique, which was a piece of cake.

In the future, as long as the young general does not seek death, no one can be his opponent when facing a person with super powers with his strength.

"My body will be slightly damaged, but I will be fine after some time. As for the Major General becoming stronger, isn't this a good thing? Why do you have to dig into the cause? It's a good thing now."

Mo Yuan nodded upon seeing this: "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Xiao San."

Jiang Li shrugged his shoulders and said in a relaxed tone: "It's nothing. I can't just stand by and watch someone die. If the young general has nothing to do, I will go back and pack my things and leave tomorrow."
