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

Jiang Li blinked and said casually, "Well, I was just chatting casually. It seems that you care about Shu Tong very much, otherwise the big boss would not use him to threaten you."

"Well, we grew up together. Qingzhu has always been with me. If he hadn't been locked up, he would be faster than you in processing these herbs..."

Mu Qingchen glanced over there and couldn't say anything else. The originally tall dried herbs were now only half gone. When did it happen? How could she finish it so quickly?

"What? Faster than me? That's impossible. I'm born with great strength, but I can only go this fast. How can your Qingzhu be so powerful?"

"...No, you are more powerful, Miss Cuicui. How did you do it? It has only been a short time and you have already ground out so much medicinal powder."

The two of them talked and time passed quickly.

In the woodshed

Yaya saw that the girl had woken up, but her eyes were dull, as if she was in a trance. She raised her hand and waved it in front of her eyes: "Girl, are you okay?"

Ye Yue came back to her senses, her mind full of the horrific scenes of last night. The pain in her body was reminding her what had happened. Her eyes were dark and filled with the determination to die.

Seeing that she had woken up, Yaya stood up and poured a glass of water from the side and handed it to her: "Girl, what's your name? Drink the water first to moisten your throat."

"Well, thank you."

Listening to her hoarse voice, Yaya felt a little uncomfortable. If her sister hadn't saved her, she would have been unable to escape and become a plaything of those bandits.

"My name is Ye Yue. I remember you. Last night you were following a woman in an emerald green dress. That person must be the sister you mentioned."

"She saved me. How did she save me? I remember I was in the cave..."

"I don't know, but my sister said she picked it up by accident."

Ye Yue finished drinking the water, closed her eyes, put those images aside, looked at Yaya, and whispered: "I'm hungry and want to eat something. Can you help me make some white rice porridge?"

Yaya hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, then I'll go make you some rice porridge, you lie down and fall asleep, it's very safe here, usually no one will come here, don't be afraid."

"Yeah, thank you for me...sister, and say sorry to her."

The second half of the sentence was spoken very quietly and Yaya didn't hear it. She closed the door and went to the kitchen to cook porridge. Half an hour later, the porridge was ready and she brought it over with a smile on her face.

Before he could say anything, he looked up and saw the person hanging. He was so scared that he took a few steps back and sat down on the ground. He saw Ye Yue's neck hanging on the rope, her body swaying slightly, and her face was blue. It was obvious that she was dead.

Yaya's tears suddenly fell. She covered her mouth and sobbed, crying very sadly. How could she explain to her sister when she came back? She didn't take good care of her.

Woohoo~~~

After Jiang Li finished his work, he strolled around the neighborhood and returned to the small courtyard. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Yaya pounced on him and hugged him, her body trembling.

Realizing that something might have gone wrong, Jiang Li unconsciously clenched his fists and pretended nothing had happened: "Yaya, I'm a little hungry, let's cook together."

"it is good"

The two men came to the kitchen and saw a woman with a blue face lying on the hay. She had obviously been dead for a long time. Jiang Li lowered his eyes and spoke after a while.

"Don't cry, Yaya. Death is a relief for her. It's useless to save someone who has given up hope. If you don't take care of her, she will die anyway."

Jiang Li took out a handkerchief and handed it over: "Wipe your tears, your eyes are too red. When Master Mu comes back later, he will easily notice something is wrong. Be careful, got it?"

"Well, listen to my sister."

When Mu Qingchen came back in the evening, Jiang Li directly pulled him into the house.

"Oh, little girl, you are so enthusiastic. What? Have you figured it out and want to follow me..."

Jiang Li pushed him onto the bed and whispered in his ear, "I need your cooperation on something. I'm not kidding you. Can you please be serious?"

"You help me prepare the poison, and I help you save Qingzhu. Afterwards, you go your way and I go mine."

Mu Qingchen raised his eyebrows, looked at the little girl lying on top of him, and chuckled.

"Be good, stop making trouble. You can't handle so many bandits by yourself. Even if I can prepare poison, you can't poison so many people in one night."

"Haha, if it's possible, I'll take you out and try, then you'll know."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Li pulled the man outside, put his arm around his waist, and gently flew onto the roof. He jumped on the roof without being noticed by the guards, and slowly landed in the yard.

"Now you believe me, I want your poison just to control those bandits as quickly as possible. Of course, I can kill them, but it's too time-consuming and troublesome, and it's easy to hurt innocent people."

Mu Qingchen narrowed his eyes: "You are not an ordinary farm girl, then who are you, a Jianghu person, or... a person from the imperial court."

Jiang Li did not answer. He met his eyes and said seriously, "I just need to know whether you are willing to cooperate. If not, when I start, those bandits may get angry and start killing innocent people."

"For example, your servant Qingzhu, have you made up your mind? I'll give you one night to think it over and tell me the answer."

"Wait, I agree. You... come with me. I don't have any poison. I only have drugs. Although Zhang Dahu may look rough, he is actually very thoughtful. I can't touch any poison at all."

"We can only make the drugs secretly. Over the past year, we have accumulated enough to use. Come with me and get them."

Jiang Li followed behind him without any doubt. Even if there was a problem, it would be easy for her to kill a doctor. Of course, she was unwilling to take action against Mu Qingchen unless it was necessary.

Arriving at the stronghold, thanks to him, I had some buffer time. If we could cooperate, it would be easier to break into the stronghold.

Mu Qingchen brought her to the pharmacy, and in front of her, he took down the painting on the wall, knocked down the wall, revealing a palm-sized bottle inside.

"Here, there's a drug in there, the most potent one. As long as they take it, they'll be able to sleep through the night. As for the rest who managed to escape, I believe it shouldn't be a problem for you to deal with them."

Jiang Li nodded: "Yes, thank you."

"Then when do you plan to take action?"

"Tomorrow night, the sooner the better. I'm in a hurry and don't have time to stay here any longer. Mr. Mu has been in the mountains for a year. Doesn't he want to go home early and reunite with his family?"

Mu Qingchen's eyes dimmed: "If you want to, you can tell me what you need."

Jiang Li thought for a moment and said, "You have needles, the more the better. I can use them to kill people more easily without alarming them."

"...Yes, I'll get it for you."
