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

As the night gradually darkened, moonlight from outside the cave streamed in, bringing a hint of coolness.

Jiang Li lay in bed, unable to sleep. After being single for two lifetimes, she now had a boyfriend, a man with broad shoulders, a narrow waist and long legs. His waist... was also very good. She had touched it and it felt very good.

Aww, I want to pounce on him and eat him~

No, it's not possible. It's too fierce and might scare people. We haven't even gotten married yet. It would be a waste of time if we scare people away.

What the captain said was that we should take it slow and be reserved. This is ancient times and men's thinking is conservative. She can't be too jumpy or she might scare people.

Jiang Li turned around, propped himself up, and placed his hand under his chin. Mo Yuan, who had fallen asleep, no longer had the fierce aura around him. He looked like a sleeping tiger, quite cute.

After all, it has been stamped, and the more I look at it, the more I like it.

She moved closer, stretched out her fingers to trace his outline, her eyes became more and more obsessed, and she laughed, thinking she had found a treasure. It was a wonder why she hadn't noticed that he was so handsome when she was in the military camp before.

Her eyes were a little vague, and it was unclear what she was thinking. Naturally, she didn't notice that the man had opened his eyes and was just staring at her in a daze.

Jiang Li came back to his senses and looked down, meeting a pair of deep eyes. He was startled and stepped back, stammering, "Mo Yuan, you're awake... awake, when did you wake up?"

Mo Yuan raised his eyebrows and answered honestly, "I think you woke up when you tossed and turned and couldn't sleep and touched my face."

No, he was not asleep at all. People with inner strength have more sensitive ears. He would naturally know if the breathing of the people around him was not right, so he did not sleep.

"Um, I... I just think your skin is great, and I want to feel how it feels, and what good things you use on a daily basis that can make your face so smooth."

Jiang Li's eyes were a little vague and he felt guilty. Look, you couldn't control your hands and had to touch others. Now you've been caught in the act.

Mo Yuan suppressed his smile, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes: "Oh, I never use anything on this face, maybe it's natural, then Xiao Li, touch it and see how it feels."

"Oh, that's alright."

"Now that you're done, go to bed early. It's getting late."

Jiang Li whimpered, crawled into the quilt, and said in a muffled voice: "Oh, I know, let's go to sleep now. I'm a little scared. Can you hold my hand?"

As he spoke, he stretched out a small hand from under the quilt.

Mo Yuan looked at it helplessly and shook his head. It was really like a little baby. He stretched out his hand, put the little hand in his big hand, and gently held it. He said in a low voice: "Be good, go to sleep."

"...Mm, Mo Yuan, your hands are so warm, like a hand warmer."

"What are hand warmers??"

Jiang Li stretched his head out, closed his eyes and said, "Nothing, I'm just sleepy. Let's go to bed early."

Mo Yuan hummed and closed his eyes, thinking that they were in the same room together, and that the wounds on his body were also bandaged by the princess, and there was also that kiss, which meant they had physical contact.

I have to take responsibility for the princess. When I get out, I will talk to my grandfather, parents and see how I can go to the palace to ask His Majesty for a marriage. As I was thinking about this, I fell asleep without knowing it.

Early next morning

Mo Yuan slowly stood up and felt much better. Although he still had some difficulty moving, it was good to be able to walk normally. It was considered a quick recovery.

Jiang Li walked into the cave and saw him walking with the help of the cave wall. His eyes lit up: "As expected of a military commander, he has a good physique and recovers very quickly. I estimate that we can go out and explore the way soon."

"Well, thanks to Xiaoli's blood, otherwise I wouldn't have recovered so quickly."

Waving his hands, "Don't be so polite. We are all family, it's only natural. You practice slowly, and I'll go catch some fish and make soup. I'll also have fish fillets or grilled fish."

Jiang Li blinked, in a good mood: "Mo Yuan, what flavor do you like?"

Mo Yuan had some sweat on his forehead, he wiped it with his hand, and said softly: "It's all fine, you don't have to accommodate my taste, I'm not picky about food, I can eat anything, whatever Xiao Li eats, I'll eat it."

"Well, I'm leaving now. Don't go out."

He came out of the cave and came to the mountain stream. He put his hand in the water, released a ray of supernatural power, looked at the fish that were hooked, moved his fingers slightly, and caught a dozen fish as long as chopsticks.

Thinking that there should be enough to eat, he hummed a song and walked towards the cave with the bucket. As he walked, he heard a rustling sound and stopped.

Jiang Li closed her mouth and threw the fish directly into the space. Her space could not accommodate living things. The lively fish died the moment it entered the space.

He tapped his toes and ran towards the direction of the sound. As the sound got closer, Jiang Li jumped onto a tree and looked at the men in black. His eyes darkened and he pricked up his ears to listen.

"Boss, still nothing."

"You useless thing! Even if someone is dead, there should be a body. How could they just disappear out of thin air? The Lord has told us to bring the princess back, even if it's just a body."

"If you can't bring it back, you know his methods."

One person asked in confusion: "Boss, why does His Majesty want the eldest princess? She is just a woman. If you want to marry her, just tell Qiguo directly. Do you think they dare to resist?"

"Take the person over there. Whatever you want to do, it's up to the Venerable to decide."

The leading black-clad man went up and slapped him, and whispered, "You idiot, you know nothing. You know what the adults want to do, just obey and do what they say."

"Don't be curious about things you shouldn't be curious about. Humph, as long as we bring the princess back, the Qi Kingdom will definitely be destroyed in the end. We naturally can't keep that kind of hidden danger any longer."

"Don't think it's that simple. The real identity of the eldest princess is definitely not that simple. Why don't you find someone quickly? Why are you hesitating?"

When Jiang Li heard their words, her eyes were full of confusion. So... these men in black were not targeting her father, but her. But why? She didn't know these people at all.

After the people walked away, Jiang Li flew down and rushed towards the cave, entering the cave with a serious face.

"Mo Yuan, something happened. Those men in black came to see me. They seemed to know me and wanted to arrest me, but I don't remember them at all. Why did they arrest me?"

Mo Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe it has something to do with your identity as a venerable. Qiguo has appeared before, but every time he appeared, he disappeared immediately. It's very strange."

The late emperor had sent people to investigate, but they came to no avail each time. Perhaps it was your ability that attracted the attention of those behind the scenes. They suspected that you were a Venerable, so they tried every possible means to capture you.

Jiang Li frowned. She hated this situation where the enemy was in the dark and she was in the light. She was too passive and had no way to fight back.

"Now I don't even know who they are. What should I do? If I hide, they can trick me once and they can trick me a second time. I can't hide forever."
