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

Wang Dashan scratched his head awkwardly, feeling a little uncomfortable: "I saw that you were skinny and small, so I thought two steamed buns would be enough for one meal. I didn't expect you to eat so much. It's really shocking."

Jiang Li shook his head: "No, I'm not full. Those twenty steamed buns are only enough to fill me 40% full. But it's okay. I know that food and grass are in short supply. As long as I don't starve, that's fine."

"If we save a little, it will be enough for several people."

"...Dwarf, do you want to listen to what you are saying?"

Mo Yuan raised his head and suddenly became quiet. He said quietly, "It's not difficult to get enough to eat, but the prerequisite is that you have to have real skills. Come with me and fight a few moves to see if you are worthy of my use."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the training ground.

Seeing that he was still standing still, Wang Dashan said unhappily, "You silly boy, hurry up and catch up. Perform well. If you are noticed by the major general, you will have a bright future."

"The future is not important, I only care about whether I can have enough food to eat."

"...That's nonsense. I'm already valued, how can I be short of your food? Come on, you're driving me crazy."

Jiang Li quickened his pace, leaving Wang Dashan behind and jumping onto the martial arts training ground. The audience cheered, "Haha, this is so funny. The young general is actually going to fight this short guy."

"I hope this little dwarf will come down crying for his parents in a moment. It's so funny. Now it's going to be fun."

The news spread quickly, and more and more people gathered around the martial arts training ground.

Mo Yuan took off his outer robe, revealing the martial arts training clothes underneath, and said calmly: "Pick a weapon that suits you, and let's practice. Don't hold back, just show us all your abilities."

Jiang Li looked at him with some entanglement: "This... is not good. If I hurt someone, I have to make it clear that I don't have the money to compensate."

"…What are you talking about? It's impossible to hurt the general."

"Let me make it clear first. I won't pay for any injuries. Okay, let's get started. No weapons are needed. I'm not used to using them. Fists will do."

Mo Yuan looked at him deeply, threw his sword aside, clenched his fists and rushed forward. Jiang Li swung his fist, and their fists collided, with a cracking sound.

Before he could react, Jiang Li flew over and kicked him, sending him flying. He looked down at his fist and muttered, "Well, I controlled the force well this time and didn't give him a comminuted fracture."

"I didn't shoot myself in the head subconsciously, which was great."

After Mo Yuan was kicked out, everyone stood there motionless as if they were struck by lightning, unable to react for a long time.

Jiang Li looked at the audience. The man's hand was hanging down, obviously with a broken bone. He jumped down, grabbed his hand, pulled and pushed, and with two clicks, the bone was connected.

He clapped his hands and said with a relaxed look: "Okay, it's just a dislocation, no fracture or broken bones, don't ask me for compensation, I don't have the money as promised."

He stretched out his hand and said, "General, when can I get my food? I'm so hungry after the fight."

Mo Yuan's eyes twitched, he stood up and dusted off his body, and waved: "Come with me, you need to eat, I'll take you to eat and we can talk about something else."

Jiang Li was happy when he heard this, and wanted to smile to express his gratitude, but in the end his expression was so distorted that it hurt his eyes.

"Okay, stop laughing. This general's eyes hurt."

"Oh, all right, Major General, you're such a nice guy to treat me to a meal."

In the end times, food shortage was horrible. Even relatives would not easily invite each other to dinner. This man invited her to dinner when they met for the first time and just had a fight. What a good leader.

Gongzi Yu complained: "Little dwarf, where did you come from? You should be more careful when you get out. Otherwise, you will be cheated and still count money for others. How stupid!"

Jiang Li's eyes were firm: "I believe in my intuition, and I believe that any conspiracy is nothing in the face of absolute force."

"Hey, you little dwarf is quite interesting."

"Don't call me a dwarf, you are the dwarf. Your whole family is dwarfs. I just didn't eat enough, so I didn't grow taller. If I were full, I would be taller than you, hehe."

Jiang Li quickly ran to Mo Yuan's side and rolled his eyes at the person behind him.

Gong Ziyu was so angry: "You...you little dwarf, you actually dare to look down on others. I am so angry."

Mo Yuan turned his head and gave him a cold look: "Young Master Yu, be quiet, the more you live, the more you will go back. Why bother with a child?"

"...!!"

Inside the tent

Jiang Li looked at the table full of dishes, his eyes glued to them so tightly that he couldn't pull them away.

Gongzi Yu sneered at this and said, "Where did this country bumpkin come from? He can't even walk when he sees something to eat. Really..."

Meeting that pair of sharp eyes, he swallowed back the rest of the words and stood aside silently. Well, he could see that the major general was very satisfied with this dwarf.

He'd better not get into trouble.

Mo Yuan called out, "Eat, and talk while you eat. Didn't you say you were hungry?"

Jiang Li blinked his eyes, his eyes clear: "General, you better tell me the matter first, otherwise I will eat it, and if you say I can't do it again, I can't afford to pay you."

"These copper coins are all I have on me now."

As he said this, he took out a hundred dollars from his pocket, indicating that he was really poor.

Mo Yuan didn't know why, but felt a little sad: "It's okay, go ahead and eat, it's free, if you want to go, go ahead, if you don't want to, I won't force you."

Hearing him say that, Jiang Li was happy. He picked up the chopsticks and quickly picked up the dishes. They only saw the chopsticks moving, and the food on the plate was decreasing rapidly and soon it was gone. They thought that was it.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Li felt that the soup should not be wasted, so he broke the steamed bun and dipped it in the soup. He ate it all, then touched his stomach and felt that he was finally full.

The two looked at the table in shock. The plates were cleaner than their faces. How many years of hunger must one have had to do something like this?

Gongzi Yu's fan fell to the ground with a plop, and he didn't even react to pick it up.

Jiang Li looked at them: "What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with me?"

Mo Yuan shook his head: "No, being able to eat... is a blessing, very good, not being picky about food is even better, do you want some more meat? I see you like meat very much."

Waving his hand, "No, I know the army is short of food, so we have to eat sparingly. Now that we are full, let's start talking about things. I wonder what the Major General is going to tell me."

"Do you want to join the Mohist Army?"

Jiang Li didn't know what the Mohist Army was, so he just asked, "Can we get enough to eat?"

Gongzi Yu rolled his eyes, sat down, and said unhappily, "You only care about food, right? That's the Mohist Army. No matter how many people try to get in, they can't."

"Oh, that has nothing to do with me. I only care about whether I can have enough food."

"Yes, as long as you go to the battlefield and kill the enemy, you can eat as much as you can based on your ability."
