After being choked to death by a copper coin, she became a demon Jin Ji in the other world

[Is it necessary? How fast can it be bought directly with money? ]

[Of course I know that using money is more convenient, but the currency we have is mainly the Kaiyuan Tongbao of the Tang Dynasty. With the Tang Dynasty having declined for nearly a century, we have to question how many countries are willing to circulate Kaiyuan Tongbao.]

【Therefore, we must make preparations for both situations. 】

Chapter 327 Snow Lotus Broken Leaves

[Ah, this is indeed a problem, but didn't Xiaoman say that she had already escaped? She shouldn't be caught again, right? ]

[That being said, who knows how many years ago that letter was sent. No one knows what Xiao Man has been through in the past two years. It never hurts to be prepared.]

[Yes, I will look for it then.]

Snow lotus is a perennial herb in the Asteraceae family. It has thick rhizomes, dark brown color, dense leaves, mostly oblong or ovate-oblong, and the uppermost bracts are membranous, transparent, and light yellow. The head inflorescence is gathered at the top of the stem in a spherical shape, and the flowers are purple. To put it simply, it is a large chrysanthemum.

This plant is commonly found on the north and south slopes of the Tianshan Mountains, the Altai Mountains and the Kunlun Mountains, and is mostly rooted in areas with an altitude of 4000-5000 meters.

It is an excellent Chinese medicinal material, which is effective for diseases such as irregular menstruation, toothache, rheumatoid arthritis, impotence, abnormal leucorrhea, and metrorrhagia.

Snow lotus seeds only germinate at zero degrees Celsius and grow at three to five degrees Celsius. The seedlings can withstand the severe cold of minus twenty-one degrees Celsius. It is truly a lotus in the snow.

People say this thing is rare. Shen Yuelan didn't quite believe it at first, but after wandering around Tianshan Mountain for a while, she only found a pair of snow lotuses, and they were growing together. She found them.

Shen Yuelan looked at the two snow lotuses in her hand that she had obtained with great difficulty, shook her little head, and finally decided to keep the older one as a planting flower.

The remaining snow lotus was finally given by Shen Yuelan to the medical fairy Qing Yi. She didn't care whether it could be put to good use. Shen Yuelan mainly wanted to see if this thing could evolve and give birth to a snow lotus fairy for her.

After finishing her brainstorming, Shen Yuelan continued to explore the Tianshan Mountains. Although snow lotus was precious and rare, they had just arrived in Suiye City and were afraid that they would be severely bargained down. It was still unclear whether they could raise the money to redeem the people.

So she planned to find a few more flowers and exchange them for more money so that she could buy a bigger one later.

After another night of searching, Shen Yuelan finally collected five golden lotuses. Satisfied, she took these big chrysanthemums and went to meet Shen Huanyan and the others.

From the 6th to the 12th century, Suiye City was the capital of the Western Turkic Khanate, the Turgysh Khanate and the Karluk Khanate, and one of the Tang Dynasty's "Four Anxi Towns". It was not lost by the Tang Dynasty after the Anshi Rebellion, but was given to the Turgysh Khanate by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang during the Kaiyuan period.

[It was ceded during the Kaiyuan period? Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was such a jerk! The land that our ancestors conquered was just thrown away like that? ]

[Haha, didn’t he lose enough land? To put it bluntly, this guy just lived too long. If he had died two years earlier like Taizong, the Tang Dynasty might not have suffered a cliff-like decline. After all, the new emperor would still work hard to govern the country for a while.]

[Okay, okay, everyone has their own historical limitations. You can't do better than him in that position.]

[The main reason why the Tang Dynasty gave Suiye City to the Turks was to support the Turkic Khan Sulu and let him fight against the threat from the southern Arab Empire. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.]

[Huh, so now Suiye City is the Khanate of the Turkic Khanate? ]

[Well, it doesn't seem so. It should be occupied by the Qarluk people now. I don't know how many years it has been since the Turks were defeated. ]

[Is that so? Then if we dress like this and enter someone else's house without thinking, will there be any problems? ]

[Yes, Zhiwei, you are right. When we were in Shazhou, we were already very conspicuous. If we wear this now, I am afraid it will cause trouble. I order you to buy me four sets of new Gelulu clothes! ]

[Uh, new clothes? ]

[Nonsense, you still want to wear something that someone else has worn? That would be really bad.]

[But, in this era, ordinary people may not be able to afford a new set of clothes in a year. You might as well let Lu go and rob them.]

【Nani! 】

[Alright, alright, Master, please stop bullying Zhiwei. It's just the clothes of the Gelulu people. I have prepared them. We can just change into them before entering the city.]

【Oh! Huanyan you are so awesome!!】

[Hmph, without me, how can you live? 】

When Shen Yuelan arrived at Suiye City, it was already the end of the fourth year of Huichang. Of course, the Qarlug people would not celebrate the Spring Festival, so Shen Yuelan and others did not feel the festive atmosphere in Suiye City.

But it was in such a somewhat regrettable city that Shen Yuelan and others found their long-sought target - Xiaoman.

[My goodness, this girl was sold so far away. I really don’t know how these traffickers transported her here.]

[Master, it doesn't matter how the traffickers brought her here. What matters is how to get her out, or whether she is willing to go back with us? ]

[Yes, now that she has become a Khatun (Queen), who would be willing to come back? ]

[So, Zhiwei, if you become a Khatun, you won't go back to the other world with us? ]

[Go back! Why should I stay here if I can go to the other world? This place is not a paradise. ]

[It's over now, Xiao Man is definitely leaving! ]

[Master, this is hard to say now. A woman's biggest weakness is her children. If she doesn't have a child, Xiao Man will definitely want to go back. But if she already has a child, and it's a boy, then it will be difficult to deal with.]

Shen Huanyan's question hit the nail on the head. Yes, if Xiaoman had no children, then everything would be fine. But once she had a child, she would probably never be able to return to the Tang Dynasty in this lifetime.

[Alas, it is useless for us to guess here. Let's spread out and get some information. Ask Xiaoman whether she has given birth to a baby. Then find out when this Karluk Khan will not be at home. Then we can sneak in and ask Xiaoman in person what she thinks.]

【Yes.】×3

While the other three were looking for ways to get information, Shen Yuelan was alone, wandering aimlessly in Suiye City. She still had doubts about whether Li Bai was born in Suiye.

Because there is no very accurate answer to where Li Bai was born, because Li Bai's epitaph records it like this:

Li Bai was the ninth-generation grandson of King Wu Zhao of Liang. Due to the disasters at the end of the Sui Dynasty, one of his family was exiled to Suiye, where they were scattered and displaced, changing their names. It was not until the beginning of the Shenlong period that they secretly returned to Guanghan.

The general meaning of this passage is that Li Bai is the ninth-generation grandson of Li Hao, the founding king of Western Liang. During the turbulent times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Bai's ancestors were exiled to Suiye City for their crimes. It was not until the early years of Shenlong, when Emperor Zhongzong of Tang was restored to the throne, that Li Bai's family quietly moved back to Sichuan.

In other words, whether it is Suiye or Qinglian, no one actually has any subversive evidence to prove that Li Bai was born in their side, but Shen Yuelan actually prefers Suiye.

Although it is not realistic to let a newborn baby follow his parents to travel thousands of miles back to Sichuan, Li Bai is a romantic poet, so what if his life story is a little fantastical?

Perhaps, only those who have seen the yellow sand of the desert with their own eyes can write poems as majestic and magnificent as Li Bai's.

Chapter 328: Surprise Attack on Karluk

After nightfall, everyone reunited. After a whole afternoon of searching, they obtained some useful information. Huanyan found out from the place where the cooks gathered that Xiaoman Kedun did have one son and two daughters, but the eldest son and the second daughter died young, and now only the eldest daughter is left.

Xiao Yuhuan sneaked into the military camp and learned from the soldiers that the Qarluk people's [Yehu] had gone out hunting for the past two days and had not been at home recently. Shen Yuelan and the others could sneak into the Suiye Khanate at any time.

The most surprising thing was Lu Zhiwei. This guy actually got close to Xiaoman's daughter, and she got more accurate information from the little sister.

[Xiao Man's daughter is named Chishi Sibai. She told Lv that Xiao Man was not trafficked to Karluk. She was rescued from the hands of human traffickers by Karluk prince, her father Chishi Tiele.]

[In other words, Xiao Man voluntarily stayed in Gelulu? Then is there any need for us to rescue her? ]

[Humph, voluntarily staying? I don't think that's entirely true. If she didn't want to go back to Bai Juyi, why did she name her daughter Sibai? ]

[Parents always hope to give their children a healthy and happy childhood. How could she break the fantasy and tell her children the truth? ]

[Others may not know about the feud between the Tang Dynasty and the Karluks, but how could she, as Bai Juyi's attendant, not know? ]

[At that time, Anxi Jiedushi Gao Xianzhi led 20,000 Han troops from Anxi Protectorate, and 10,000 allied troops from Bukhara and Karluk tribes to fight against 30,000 Arab cavalry from the Abbasid Dynasty in Talas.]

[If the Qarluk people had not colluded with the Arabs and attacked the Tang army from behind, how could the Tang army have been defeated? The Battle of Talas was only four years away from the An Lushan Rebellion. Who knows if there is any connection between the two? ]

[Well, Zhiwei is right. Whether it is a mule or a horse, it still needs to be moved out for a walk.]

[By the way, Zhiwei, since you have met Xiaoman's daughter, what about Xiaoman herself? Why didn't you meet her? ]

[Alas, Lv naturally wanted to do it in one go, but Xiao Man is not in the Khan's court. She went hunting with her husband, Daye Hu, and she may not be back for ten days or half a month.]

[Hmph, if the mountain doesn't come to me, I will go to the mountain. Zhiwei, go find out the specific location where they are hunting. We will find a chance to sneak over there. If Xiaoman agrees to leave, then we can take this opportunity to take her away.]

[What about Chishi Sibai? Xiaoman has been unwilling to leave these years, I am afraid she is inseparable from him, and the status of women in nomadic tribes is very low. Even if she is a princess, if she is not loved by her father, I am afraid that in the end she will only become a toy given to subordinates. ]

[Yes, and doesn't this count as changing history? Will the Time Management Bureau hold us accountable later?]

[Hmph, don't worry. I, Shen Yuelan, never fight a battle without preparation. Just think about it, a woman who has lived in Luoyang for a long time could be abducted to such a remote place in just a few years. This is a big problem, right? ]

[You know, even if we want to walk to Suiye Town, it will take more than half a year. How can ordinary people have our strength? Not to mention the inspections of Li Tang, Tubo and other big and small forces. We can bypass them, but can they? ]

[And according to Bai Juyi's habit of reciting a poem whenever he wants, if he didn't write a poem about Xiao Man being abducted to the Western Regions and sending him a letter for help, he wouldn't be named Bai.]

【But have any of you heard that he has written anything about it? 】

【No. 】

【I do not have either. 】

[Lv has just checked and found that Mr. Bai has never written any relevant poems.]

[Right, so I dare to conclude that there must be something wrong here, and there is an external force that does not belong here! Our current task is to find out this force and correct history! ]

【Oh! !】×3

[Master, Huanyan never thought that we would have the chance to revise history one day. Woohoo, Master, you have grown up.]

[Hey! What's wrong with your tone of voice like an elder? I am obviously the older one, right? No, you are actually teasing me, right? ]

[Hey, no way, since you, the master, have already decided, let's get going.]

[Don't come on! Answer my question first! ]

The bright moon in the sky gradually set in the west, and they arrived at the temporary base of the Karluk Khanate before dawn. However, they did not sneak in because they discovered something unusual in the camp several kilometers away.

[Tsk, the master really guessed it right, there really is an external force here. ]

[Ha, so you didn't trust my judgment at all just now? Damn, are you guys coaxing a child? ]

[Oh my, Captain, calm down, calm down. We were blinded just now. It was our fault. But now the enemy is important. Even if you want to shoot us, you have to wait until the battle is over.]

[Hmph, you guys just wait, Yuhuan, go investigate first to see the other party's strengths and weaknesses, then we can make a plan.]

【promise.】

Xiao Yuhuan's ability was trustworthy, and in a short while she brought back the news from the camp.

[One good news, one bad news, which one do you want to hear? ]

【Hear the good news first.】

[Well, the good news is that the enemies this time are not difficult to deal with. They are just a group of void pirates who specialize in human trafficking. Moreover, the enemies here are just a vanguard group that landed earlier, about a thousand people. We can easily deal with them.]

[What about the bad news? 】

[The bad news is that almost all the Karluks here have been replaced, including Xiaoman’s husband, the Karluk Yehu.]

[In other words, the man Xiaoman married is a Void Pirate, not even a Gelulu? ]

[It is hard to say whether Xiao Man first married a Karluk and then had her love taken away by a Void Pirate, or whether Xiao Man was married to a Void Pirate from the beginning to the end.]

[We can only wait until everything is settled, then catch the pirate leader and interrogate him. ]

[Hey, what are you waiting for? My Song Dynasty imperial guards are already gearing up for battle. Guys, kill for me! Surprise attack on the Qarluk!!]

【kill! ! ! 】

【Kill!!!】×2400

Without waiting for Xiao Yuhuan and the others to figure out what was going on, Shen Yuelan directly called out the twenty-four guards and rushed forward while the moon was dark and the wind was strong. This move left Shen Huanyan and the others stunned.

[No, Master, we haven't come to a conclusion yet, why are you leading the charge? ]

[Nonsense, it's not 80,000 people, it's just 1,800 trash, why do we need to discuss it? Is it because my sword is rusty, or are the Void Pirates too stubborn? ]

[Uh, okay, brothers, leave two of them alive for me! And don't kill that Xiao Man, we are useful!]

【Yes! 】×2400

Chapter 329: Little Man Ke Dun

The reason why the Void Pirates are called pirates is that most of their combat power is reflected in their superb driving skills in controlling warships. Their combat power on land, if they are not equipped with weapons such as exoskeletons, is no different from that of ordinary people.

Unfortunately, this pirate assault group responsible for the advance infiltration did not carry any heavy equipment in order not to attract attention, which made them vulnerable when they encountered Shen Yuelan's most elite [Wine Brewing Corps].

[Quick, surround them from both wings! There are only 1,800 of us. If you dare to let them escape, you will all go back to the winery and make wine!]

Shen Yuelan's [Motivation] was quite effective. In order to avoid having to return to the winery to work as laborers, the Song Imperial Guards desperately hunted down these Void Pirates.

Most of the pirates who were sleeping soundly were caught off guard and were blasted into the sky by a few arrows fired by Shen Yuelan in their sleep.

The pirates who had managed to escape tried to sneak away from the camp in the dark to save their lives, but they were horrified to find that no matter which direction they broke through, there would always be enemies blocking their way.

Unknown enemies emerged continuously from all directions of the camp, cutting off their way forward.

[I don't know who this person is, and what grudge he has with my Karluk tribe that would lead him to do such a cruel thing? If it was done by me, the Chishi Tiele, I am willing to be killed, and I only ask you to spare my people and my wife.]

[Huh, did you hear that? This guy singled out his wife, and he's going to sacrifice Xiao Man.]

[In that case, Master, why don't we take advantage of this situation and let Xiao Man see this person's true face, which will also make it easier for us to act later? ]

[Okay, okay, being a bad guy is what I do best.]

[Huh, wife? You are quite arrogant. My brothers are still single, but you dare to have a wife. I think you are courting death!]
