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

Seeing him looking at him, Jiang Xiao adjusted his mood and asked, "Sir, you are not full yet. Wenzhu, come in and call another table up. Tell the shopkeeper to order a bigger portion."

He turned his head and said gently: "Since I want to invite you to dinner, I must make sure you eat enough. Don't be polite to me."

This was the first time Jiang Li had encountered such a generous fool. He curled his lips and said, "Sir, you are a very kind person. But you should stop saying things like "I want you to be full" in the future, or I'm afraid you will go bankrupt."

"...Haha, you are such a joker. It's just a meal, how can you go bankrupt? It's really funny."

"Okay, I'm just giving you a friendly reminder."

Jiang Xiao looked at him carefully, and always felt that this man's face gave him a very familiar feeling, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't remember where he had seen this man before.

"Sir, I think you look familiar. Have we met before somewhere?"

Jiang Li shook his head straightforwardly: "No, I have a photographic memory. If I had seen him, I would definitely remember him. If I have no impression of him now, it means I have never seen him. Maybe he is someone you know and he just looks similar."

"Yes, the food is not ready yet, why don't we chat? This is your first time in the capital."

After thinking for a while, it was not the first time for the original owner, but it was her first time to come to the capital city after she traveled through time.

Nodding readily: "Yes, it's my first time here."

Jiang Xiao's eyes lit up. Seeing his clear eyes, he seemed to be a simple-minded person. If he could be won over, it would be a blow to the General's Mansion.

"I wonder what you do for a living now?"

Jiang Li thought about it and felt a little conflicted. She seemed to have no job now and had to rely on the General's Mansion for food and drink, which was quite embarrassing. It seemed that she should buy a house and have her own home.

I just don't know what reward the original owner's father, the emperor, would give. If he gives a house as a reward, then it would be a waste of money to buy it. I might as well buy food to store the space if I spend that time on it.

Seeing him so distracted, Jiang Xiao waved his hand in front of his eyes and said, "Sir, are you okay?"

Jiang Li came back to his senses and shook his head: "It's okay, it's about making a living, right? I don't have a living now, I rely on others for support, but I will have a living soon, Brother Mo, don't you think so?"

"...Ah, yes, it should be soon."

After the General's Mansion has finished giving out rewards, it should be the turn of the next general.

Jiang Xiao was silent for a while. He felt that talking to this gentleman made his head hurt a little. He subconsciously rubbed his head. Jiang Li saw it and asked in confusion: "Sir, is your head itchy?"

"Oh, oh, a little bit, what's wrong?"

Jiang Li said nonsense in a serious tone: "If your head itches, it means something is going to grow, such as a brain. It's a good thing. Don't scratch it, or you'll scratch your brain away."

...What is he talking about? Why can't he understand it? Where is this guy from? Is he sick?

Jiang Xiao exhaled, took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it over: "Sir, this is for you. If you are willing to be loyal to me in the future, you can come to me at any time."

"Just go to the gambling house and find Yang Lin. He will bring you to see me."

After saying that, he looked at Mo Lin provocatively. Haha, what future is there in following the General's Mansion? It's better to follow him. He believes that anyone with a little bit of brains knows who to choose in order to have a good life.

Mo Lin had an unhappy look on his face and pursed his lips not daring to say a word. This Third Prince was so cunning. He knew that the prince was his third brother's man, yet he still poached him so blatantly, as if he didn't want him to die.

Jiang Li's eyes fell on the jade pendant. It was as clear as water and slightly cool to the touch. He knew at first glance that it was good jade. It was something given for free, so he would rather keep it for now.

If times get tough in the future, she can always sell them for food and good things. She is very keen on making a profit.

Nodding: "Okay, I understand, thank you sir."

Jiang Xiao felt very proud when he heard him say that. It turned out that there was no one he couldn't recruit. He felt happy when he thought that if this person came, he could directly slap the face of the General's Mansion.

Let them go against him, huh.

Feeling proud, he couldn't help but smile, but the smile didn't last long as the two men ate and drank to their heart's content.

He ordered three tables of food in a row, but before he could even start eating, the two men snatched away the food. It was as if he hadn't eaten for 800 years. There was a flash of contempt in his eyes. After all, he was a military general, so vulgar.

After Jiang Li had his fill, the look he showed towards the sucker softened a lot. After all, the sucker had treated him to a meal, so he had to give him a good look so that he could continue to take advantage of him in the future.

"Sir, we have already eaten. We have something else to do so we have to leave first."

As he said this, he stood up, bowed, and was about to leave.

Jiang Xiao stood up and sent the man out the door. He felt that he had suffered a loss this time and was not very happy. He did not recruit this man and spent a lot of money, plus a fine jade pendant.

Forget it, we can't pursue small gains, we need to look at the long-term. This guy is highly skilled in martial arts, if we can bring him over, he will naturally be safer in the future and won't have to worry about being assassinated.

Wen Zhu instigated, "Sir, that dwarf has evil intentions, so don't be fooled."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was scolded: "Enough, do you think that I am stupid enough to be fooled by a military general? Those people are all stubborn and can't think flexibly."

"Oh, if you want to deceive my highness, that is simply impossible."

Jiang Xiao touched his stomach and a dark look flashed across his eyes. He was so busy talking that he didn't eat anything. He was really hungry.

"Wenzhu, go get some food. I'm hungry."

"...Yes, I know."

Mo Lin touched his round belly and laughed non-stop: "Thank you, brother Wang. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have so much silver."

Jiang Liyao shook his head: "No, I should thank Brother Mo. If you hadn't taken me to that good place, I wouldn't have won so much money. Thanks to you."

"Haha, you're welcome. How about we go shopping again? We're already out here, so we might as well have fun to our heart's content."

"Brother Wang, look at that building. It's more fun at night."

Mo Lin looked towards the brothel, and thought of what the young master of the Lin family said, and he felt a little tempted. They all said it was a fun place, so it must be right. It was just that he didn't have the money before, and he had never been there. He really wanted to go and see it.

Jiang Li raised his head and glanced at the woman posing coquettishly upstairs. The corners of his mouth twitched. This building... is just a brothel. This person looks like an honest man, but I didn't expect that he would do something behind her back... Tsk tsk.

"Brother Mo, are you really going to go? Don't you know where this place is?"

"I don't know. They said it was interesting, so I wanted to go and see it. But maybe another day. I don't think I have time today."

Jiang Li's eyes flashed with understanding. He didn't know that this person was a little too naive. He sighed and whispered, "Brother Mo, that place is not good. Don't go there. You won't be able to get married if you go there."
