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

Seeing that she was about to leave, Hongye hurriedly called out to her, "Princess, you just came back, where are you going now?"

Jiang Li's eyes flickered, his gaze clear: "Sister Hongye, I accidentally killed some assassins just now, and the bodies haven't been collected yet. If I don't tell my father, it would be bad to scare him."

"Assassin...Assassin?"

Hongye raised her voice unconsciously, with a look of fear on her face.

How could there be an assassin when we come for the autumn hunt? Whose assassin is he? Is he trying to assassinate the emperor or the queen? How could the princess be so skilled? Didn’t she know any martial arts before?

Seeing that she was still in a daze, Jiang Li turned around and slipped out, and came to Emperor Ming's tent, but was stopped by the guards.

"Princess, there are only men inside, so it's not convenient for you to go in. Please allow me to go in and report to His Majesty. You can only go in if His Majesty says you can. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise it's a crime. I know the procedures. You should hurry up and go."

"Yes"

Jiang Li listened to the sound of stringed instruments inside and said quietly, "They really know how to enjoy themselves. They watched the dancers dance without even bringing me along. It's really too much. They enjoy themselves while I have to work. It's really unpleasant."

"Ah, I also want to lie down and be a salted fish~~~"

Soon the guard came out and said respectfully, "Princess, His Majesty lets you in."

Jiang Li's eyes lit up when he heard that. He rushed in like a little firecracker and howled, "Father, ah, your son is here."

Emperor Ming shuddered with fear, raised his head and looked at her expressionless face and excited voice. Why was it so inconsistent? It must be that her brain was damaged.

Why! !

"Li'er, you are not in the Queen's tent, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Li looked around. There were many men sitting on both sides. In the open space in the middle, several singers were dancing, as if they didn't see her and were not affected at all.

Those men unconsciously focused their eyes on her. Is this the eldest princess? She looks very beautiful, and a little... cute.

He quickly ran to Emperor Ming, picked up a bunch of grapes in front of him, and began to eat them seriously, saying casually, "Father, I was just picking berries in the woods when I accidentally ran into an assassin and killed him."

"Look, those bodies, should we have someone deal with them? If they are left to rot in the forest, it will pollute the environment and may even cause a plague. That would be really embarrassing."

Everyone listened to her chattering and heard her say such scary words, their eyes widened unconsciously. They thought they were hard of hearing. The eldest princess looked so soft and cute, she couldn't be so cruel.

Not to mention them, Emperor Ming was also confused: "What...what, why did you go to the forest to pick berries?"

Jiang Li frowned, her eyes full of disapproval. Her father was the emperor, so how could he have such poor comprehension and fail to grasp the key points? Of course she picked berries to eat, otherwise why would she pick them?

"Father, you are getting off topic. Picking berries is not important. What is most important is to deal with the body."

The father and daughter looked at each other, neither of them said a word.

Emperor Ming closed his eyes for a long while, feeling a little tired, and clapped his hands: "Come here, drag the body over, and have someone check what happened and who sent it."

"Also, Lin Yong, take the Imperial Guards to the forest and search it to see if there are any traitors."

Lin Yong stood up and knelt on the ground: "Yes, I accept your order."

Seeing that he believed it, Jiang Li sat down next to him, completely unaware of the people in the audience, whose eyes were suddenly filled with shock. Only Mo Yuan had a smile in his eyes when he saw this.

He peeled the skin and handed it to her: "Father, this grape is delicious."

"…It's delicious. I'll have someone bring it to you later. If you really don't like it, it's sour. You can eat it."

"Oh, okay."

Seeing that she was as calm as ever, Emperor Ming felt that his daughter was quite bold to dare to sit with the emperor. However, her lack of reverence was quite interesting.

"Li'er, look at the young talents sitting below. If you find one you like, tell your father secretly and he will grant you a marriage when the time comes."

Jiang Li looked at him and said, "Father, why are you urging me to get married just like mother? Since you asked, I won't hide it. I like strong men who are not so fragile."

"Otherwise, if I get angry, I might accidentally crush him to death without any resistance, which would be boring."

"... Li'er, can you say something that father can understand? This is what I mean. You don't like military commanders. How can such a rough man be worthy of a royal princess?"

The crowd below the stage, watching the two people whispering above, felt that the eldest princess was favored more and more. The other princesses had never seen His Majesty be so intimate. If they could marry the eldest princess...

Jiang Li thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes, father, it's better to be a military general, who can take a beating. If it's a civil official, I might accidentally murder my husband, and my reputation will be bad."

When Emperor Ming heard this, he didn't know what he was thinking of, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "So, you have someone you like."

"Well, let's talk about it after we get back to the palace. Either we don't get married, or we find someone who is not likely to die easily and has a strong life."

Not long after, the guards carried in corpses one after another. The young masters looked at the black-clothed men with unrecognizable faces and burst brains. Their expressions collapsed and they looked pale and terrified.

Emperor Ming saw the miserable state of the corpse and felt sick. He frowned subconsciously and said, "Li'er, this is all your fault. Why did you mess up the head like this? It's really unsightly."

Jiang Li nodded seriously after hearing this: "Oh, I'm sorry, father. I will pay attention next time. I will remember what kind of death you like to see, and I will kill you in the same way in the future."

What kind of crazy talk is this...

"Someone, check who they are and who sent them to assassinate me or someone else."

The Dali Temple Chief Justice, Wang An, bowed, stood up and walked to the assassin. He resisted the urge to look at the man who had been shot in the head, and began to feel around the assassin. He turned up his collar and saw the familiar crescent mark on his neck.

He frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this is a gangster organization. I'm afraid someone hired assassins. Who are they trying to kill? It's a pity that they didn't leave anyone alive. Otherwise, I could have interrogated them."

Her eyes seemed to fall on Jiang Li, and seeing that she was still eating, there was a bit of surprise in her eyes. She was worthy of being a princess of the royal family, her courage was extraordinary.

Emperor Ming turned his head to look at her and said, "Li'er, when you kill someone in the future, remember to leave someone alive. Otherwise, how can you find out who is behind them? What do you think?"

Jiang Li said vaguely: "Father, I wanted to keep them alive, but their teeth were filled with poison. Before I could save them, they had already been poisoned. I couldn't keep them alive."

"Hey, if there is a next time, I will definitely pay attention."

“…Well, for today’s hunting, let’s wait for Lin Yong to investigate thoroughly before we start, to avoid any danger.”
