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

As time passed, they gradually woke up, looking at the people around them with blank eyes, as if they didn't understand the situation. When they wanted to stand up, they found that they were tied up.

Zhang Dahu was an experienced man after all, so he quickly realized that they had been ambushed and their bottom line had been taken advantage of, and his face darkened.

The fact that they were able to raid them so easily without causing any major commotion meant that there must be a spy, one from within the village. Apart from Mu Qingchen, no one else could have this ability.

I didn't expect that it couldn't be prevented even though we were on guard day and night, right under our noses.

He gritted his teeth and stared at them with hatred: "Mu Qingchen, you betrayed me. Haha, unless you kill me now, I will tear you into pieces one day."

Mu Qingchen looked at him with a half-smile, then turned around and said with a wronged look, "My wife, he said he would cut my husband into pieces, you have to help me deal with him."

Jiang Li: ...I feel like killing someone for no apparent reason. No, he has done her a favor. I can't just kill him because he is such a bad mouth.

"Call me boss. If you keep calling me that, haha."

Feeling the chilling tone of that chuckle, Mu Qingchen tactfully shut his mouth and said nothing. He just looked at him eagerly, obviously hoping that he would help him get justice.

Jiang Li looked at the boss who was shouting, knowing that he couldn't be kept, otherwise his subordinates would be hard to control. She still understood the principle of killing a chicken to scare the monkey, so...

He took two steps forward, tilted his head and asked, "Boss, how about we talk about what mines are nearby and where they are exactly? If you behave yourself, I can spare your life."

Zhang Dahu narrowed his eyes and sneered, "You can kill me or chop me up as you like, but if you want to know the location of the mine, there's no way."

"Oh, it seems to be true. I was just asking casually. Thank you for your answer. It's okay if you don't tell me. Someone will tell me."

Jiang Li shouted, "Lin Xiao, go and bring Zhang Erhu over here, and bring the Third Master over as well."

"Yes, boss."

She looked at him expressionlessly: "Even if others don't know, your brother will know. Do you think he will be as stubborn as you? Let's give it a try."

Zhang Dahu's face turned grim. He knew that his brother was timid and could not stand the intimidation from others. It was over, it was completely over now. If the gold mine was discovered, Lord Wu would not forgive him.

Lord Wu is a man who can cover up the sky with one hand, Prime Minister Xue. How can he afford to offend him?

My vision was darkening and I wished I could eat the person in front of me alive.

Soon, Zhang Erhu was brought up. Jiang Li walked up to him and said the same words again, staring at him intently. His aura was so oppressive that people dared not look up.

"Tell me where the mine is located."

"In the... in the east, there are gold mines, and in the north, there are... iron mines."

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows with some surprise in his eyes. You know, in ancient times, mines were under the control of the imperial court and private individuals were not allowed to touch them. Otherwise, the entire clan would be punished. Where did these bandits get the courage to do so?

There was something obviously wrong with the house on the mountain. It didn't look like something that bandits would own. It was too formal and not what bandits who didn't have enough food and had to rely on robbery to survive should have.

"Lin Xiao, come here. Have you checked what you were asked to check? Do these bandits usually rob people?"

Lin Xiao heard the voice and took a step forward: "Reporting to the boss, I inquired at the foot of the mountain and found that Longhu Mountain Village suddenly appeared. They only went down the mountain to rob in the first two years, and then they only wanted women."

"Those villagers saw that they only wanted women and didn't rob food, and were better than other bandits, so they never...never reported them to the officials. But they may have reported them, but the collusion ended in vain."

Jiang Li's eyes rolled around, and it was exactly what she thought. In ancient times, it was impossible for such things to escape the eyes of the officials. No matter what, there was only one reason: it was profitable.

Zhang Dahu's face turned pale, he lowered his head and dared not say a word.

"Boss, is there anything else you haven't explained? Tell me, who is the one above you who has been protecting you from behind? Anyone who has such ability is definitely not a minor official."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, he looked like he was resisting.

He sighed: "Hey, I am a civilized person. It is really too..."

Before he finished speaking, the man flashed in front of him, stretched out his hand and pinched his shoulder. He used a little more force, and the sound of bones breaking made Zhang Dahu wail.

Zhang Dahu raised his head and met those dark eyes. He was choked by the strong murderous aura and his face flushed. “No… I can’t tell you. If I tell you, my family will die.”

Jiang Li said in a cold tone: "Well, I'm a good talker. If you don't want to talk, forget it. I hate interrogation, which is a brain-consuming task."

"Come here, Lin Xiao. Take the man back to the young master and let him decide whether to kill him or lock him up. It's up to him."

"We have more important things to do. We don't have time to deal with you. Hey, even without you saying it, I can guess that the person who is so bold and powerful is nothing more than a corrupt official."

"For example, Prime Minister Xue, guess whether I am right or not."

Zhang Dahu's pupils shrank subconsciously, then widened a little, a little surprised. Who is this person and how does he know him?

Jiang Li saw it all. As expected, the captain was right. If he wanted to test him, he could just stare at him and ask. Eyes can't lie. Since he is the prime minister, he is a mortal enemy of the general's mansion. It is the young general's job to solve the problem.

She doesn't do such brain-consuming things.

"Lin Xiao, go back and tell the young master that the Prime Minister's people have gold and iron mines in Longhu Village. Let's see how he deals with them. After sending the people back, you should come back early."

"Yes, sir, I understand."

Jiang Li clapped his hands and turned to look at the people who were watching the show with great interest: "Mr. Mu, you can go down the mountain now. After all, we know each other and you have helped me. Let's go, I will take you down the mountain."

"Just keep your mouth shut after you get down the mountain, otherwise if that treacherous minister finds out, your Mu family will not have a good end. Alas, good people don't live long these days."

Mu Qingchen looked at him with interest, his eyes turned around, and he had a vague guess in his mind, which made him feel very interesting. He didn't want to leave now.

"No, I suddenly feel that since this is a training, I should naturally go to a place where I am needed, instead of traveling around casually like this. I want to follow you."

Jiang Li pointed at himself and said, "What? You want to follow me? I don't have the money to support you. You'd better go. It would be a pity if you don't practice medicine and save people with such good medical skills."

"Yes, but instead of saving those one or two, we should go to the place where the most injured are, such as... the military camp."

The last two words were said silently. Jiang Li looked at the lip shape and said, "Are you sure? You have to think about it carefully. The doctor there is very tired."
