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

Shen Sushang naturally lived up to Lan's expectations. Shen Yuelan's camp had always been firmly under the control of Shen Sushang, without losing an inch of land.

She also saw the scene when that "annoying" girl died in the battle, and she knew that today's matter could not be resolved so "peacefully". She was afraid that the fight would have to continue for a few more years.

But if you take one thing into consideration and lose another, you don't know if the old man can hold on until Shen Yuelan returns.

After the three enemy motherships were all sunk, the Inside World Legion gradually gained control of the air superiority, and took the opportunity to repair the gap, completely blocking the Void Pirates' retreat.

After more than a year of efforts, the Legion of the Other World finally succeeded in suppressing the remaining pirates on the ground. According to rough statistics from the headquarters, the Legion of the Other World paid a heavy price of sacrificing 65 captains, 161 squadron leaders and about 7,000 demon sword princesses.

Finally, they completely defeated the enemy's main force and besieged the remaining 80,000 Void Pirates in Jiaozhou City. Everyone was sharpening their knives and had no intention of letting any living creature related to the Void out of the city. They vowed to use this to commemorate their comrades who died in the battle.

By the way, Gan Yuelong and his group, who were hiding well in the mountains and forests, were looking for food one day last year when they suddenly ran into the enemy who wanted to retreat into the mountains and a battle ensued.

Although the noise of the fighting successfully attracted the attention of nearby patrol troops, the enemy's plan to retreat to the mountains and fight guerrilla warfare was completely shattered.

But how could the three people who became obstacles to the enemy have a good ending? In the end, only Gan Yuelong successfully broke through and was rescued, while the two unlucky little ones died in the battle and died in the jungle of Annan.

However, the two little guys were resurrected with full health the next day, and were successfully stuffed into the inspection team by Gan Yuelong. Because the core of Zhou Rounu's demon coin, the Song Yuan Tong Bao, was cast by Old Zhaotou, Zhou Rounu gained a bunch of melee skills.

Liang Suqing is just the opposite, because the person who forged the core of his demon coin is Li Yu's father, Li Jing, the emperor of Southern Tang. He is a guy with great ambitions but not very matched abilities.

Therefore, what Liang Suqing obtained were more auxiliary skills. He did have offensive skills, but they were equal to zero.

They successfully joined the Demon Coin Inspection Team, and after a brief new employee training, they were directly transferred back to the Annan battlefield by Shen Yuelan, mainly because Shen Yuelan wanted to confirm the situation of the two.

After all, Shen Yuelan was still a little unhappy seeing the corpses of these two guys in front of her. She didn't want to lose more in this war.

Moreover, afterwards, when Shen Yuelan saw Gan Yuelong, this guy did not look defeated at all, and was not injured at all. This is very intriguing. Tsk, it is hard to say that Gan Yuelong had no hand in the deaths of these two people.

Fortunately, the two little ones soon appeared in front of Shen Yuelan alive and kicking. Their figures and appearances changed back to the year when they first met Shen Yuelan.

This time, Shen Yuelan didn't dare let these two guys leave her side again. If they were gone this time, they would be really gone.

It was the summer of the third year of Yongxi. After a brief rest, the Legion of the Other World began to gather its strength, preparing to completely eliminate the [parasites] entrenched in Jiaozhou City.

On the eve of the general offensive, Shen Yuelan and other long-range attackers began to carry out indiscriminate bombings on Jiaozhou City continuously. Their main point was that they were not afraid of wasting ammunition, but they were afraid that they would not be able to kill the Void Pirates in the city.

Shen Yuelan was particularly hard-working in the battle. According to post-war statistics, 30% of the pirates in the city died from her arrows. Shen Yuelan's artillery fire was different from that of others. Others just bombarded normally, firing one shot at a time.

Shen Yuelan didn't do that. She always liked to fire thousands of arrows at once, and it was a plowing-ground bombardment. She would not move until all the ground buildings in this area were flattened.

This resulted in the pirates in the city offering no resistance at all when the army launched the general attack, and they all looked aggrieved, as if asking, "Why did you come just now?"

From then on, Shen Yuelan had a nickname "Big Devil". Because of this, Shen Yuelan was ridiculed by Gan Yuelong for several days. Shen Yuelan actually liked it very much. It matched the outfit designed by Jingjie for her, didn't it?

Shen Yuelan suddenly remembered that she seemed to have a title called "Guan Shiji", which seemed to be given based on her own power, but now it seems to be of no use, and she is not as domineering as "The Great Devil".

In short, after three and a half years of hard work and extremely heavy price, the inner world successfully won the Battle of Annan. Shen Yuelan successfully accumulated 6 merit points with an impressive record of 40 beheadings and 35 assists, and was promoted from the original level 10 captain to the level 14 colonel.

With a lot of assists, Gan Yuelong successfully climbed back to the position of lieutenant, Wan Chuan successfully advanced to the leader level, while Zhou Runnu and Liang Suqing were promoted to the rank of sergeant and staff sergeant respectively. What made Shen Yuelan happiest was the change in Shen Huanyan.

Among Shen Yuelan's battle records, almost all of the assists and 1 beheadings were obtained by using the archery and its related skills.

Therefore, Shen Huanyan obtained nearly 21 energy feedbacks, and was promoted two levels again, successfully becoming a demon king-level demon queen with an equivalent of 30. However, the promotion time was delayed a little bit, and everyone stayed in Annan waiting for nearly two years.

It was not until the first year of the Duangong period of the Song Dynasty that Shen Huanyan was successfully promoted, and Shen Yuelan also gained two secondary skill positions. Together with the two remaining positions, Shen Yuelan still had a total of four secondary skill positions available.

Shen Suchang also made some progress, from the original 55 equivalent Demon Queen level Demon Queen to the 60 equivalent Demon Queen. Shen Suchang's change also made Shen Yuelan realize that the Demon Queen level and the Demon King level are different.

Not all Demon King-level creatures have an equivalent of only 50. The reason why they are collectively called Demon King-level creatures is because no one has given a rank to the Demon Queen above this level.

Of course, Shen Yuelan is not afraid of them now. She has Su Chang for close combat and Huan Yan for long-range attack. She can fight one against one or two against two.

When Shen Yuelan and others were about to leave Annan, the Legion of the Other World was also evacuating. The post-war repair and statistical work was nearing completion, so the Demon Sword Princesses were also preparing to leave.

At this juncture, Shen Yuelan's camp once again welcomed several waves of special guests.

Chapter 39: Demon Sword Squadron

[Hello, do you still remember me? My name is Meng Anran, and I am Captain Luo's adjutant.]

A lady with short grey hair and a royal look, carrying a lot of bags, stood in front of Shen Yuelan and introduced herself like this. Shen Yuelan, who was drinking milk tea on the wooden table in the camp, looked up and looked at the big sister named Meng Anran blankly.

Of course she remembered this guy, Luo Ning'an, she would never forget him in her life, and how could she forget Meng Anran who was always by her side? She was confused about why Meng Anran and the three or four people behind her came to her with such a baggage.

[Of course, Miss Anran, I know you. Speaking of that idiot Ning An, when we last met before the war, she promised me that if she survived this war, she would come to my place to be the squadron leader.]

[In the end, this guy left forever in such a brilliant way. What a disrespectful guy. ]

Although she was complaining, Shen Yuelan's expression revealed a hint of sadness.

[Hehe, I'm so sorry to have made you sad, Captain Shen. Rather, we are here for the agreement between you and the captain. We will continue to fulfill the promise she failed to fulfill.]

[Of course, I was just joking. In fact, we are the only ones left in the Second Squadron. We can't even support a squadron, and we have also received a transfer notice from the Demon Sword Administration.]

[We remembered the agreement between you and the captain, and thought that you might be short of people, so we came to you for help. I wonder if you are willing to take us in? ]

Looking at Meng Anran and the few pitiful guys behind her, Shen Yuelan sighed lightly. In fact, she had already received no less than twenty retired demon sword girls in these days.

I really don't know what the Sword Management Bureau is thinking. They are just like scumbags who are thrown away after use, casually discarding these sword princesses who have experienced the war.

In the end, Shen Yuelan accepted the transfer applications of Meng Anran and others. After all, she had already accepted so many people, and a few more wouldn't be a big deal. It would be just the right amount of 30 people, so she could directly apply to the Monetary Administration for the establishment of a Demon Sword Squadron.

Shen Yuelan's idea received full support from Gan Yuelong. She had been visiting a friend's house some time ago and had only come back these two days. She did not expect that there would be so many demon sword girls in the camp all of a sudden.

After hearing Shen Yuelan's complaints about the Sword Administration, Gan Yuelong knocked Shen Yuelan on the head in annoyance and taught her a lesson:

[What do you know? This is the Sword Administration, giving special treatment to the sword princesses who have experienced the war. ]

[You have seen the casualty rate of the demon sword princesses, a full 70% casualty rate. How many demon sword princesses can survive? Even if they survive this time, they will die in the next war. Such a fate is too cruel.]

[Therefore, the Sword Administration gives every demon sword princess who participated in the war and survived a chance to change careers and a chance to choose to live. ]

Shen Yuelan fell silent after hearing this, and became even more heartbroken. Luo Ning'an and those captains knew all this, but still left the chance of survival to others? As a captain, she was far from mature enough.

Gan Yuelong saw Shen Yuelan's lost look, smiled lovingly, touched Shen Yuelan's little head, and comforted her:

[You have done very well, at least you are much better than me. When I was the captain, there were not so many demon sword princesses coming to join me.]

[Look, the group of demon sword princesses who came to us are all from the teams under your command. None of my team came. Sigh, I am such a failure as a human being.] Gan Yuelong said self-deprecatingly.

[Okay, okay, you're just trying to comfort me. Why are you so autistic? Please help me talk to the higher-ups and ask them to approve a demon sword squadron for us. Give these guys a place to stay. We can't really use them as kitchen knives.]

Gan Yuelong nodded when she heard this, saying that it was a piece of cake and she would get the position tomorrow. However, she also asked Shen Yuelan if one squadron was not enough. After all, Shen Yuelan had ten battalions under her, which amounted to 1000 people.

Shen Yuelan smiled bitterly and replied:

[All are gone, the rest are all here. 】

Gan Yuelong was full of surprise. She wanted to say something but didn't know how to start. Before she knew it, her eyes were red. In the end, she could only sigh:

[There is no such thing as a peaceful life. It's just that someone is carrying the burden for you. Sigh, there is no need for tomorrow. Today, tonight, I will apply for the establishment and give them a home. ]

Gan Yuelong did what he said and helped everyone complete all the formalities that evening, successfully welcoming the thirty demon sword ladies into the gate of the Demon Coin Inspection Team.

Although Shen Yuelan wanted to let the demon sword princesses return to the inner world to rest, this idea was opposed by Gan Yuelong. She said that after participating in the war, people who stayed alone for a long time were prone to psychological problems.

Therefore, Gan Yuelong suggested that Shen Yuelan take the newly formed Demon Sword Squadron back to the Song Dynasty to relax, ease everyone's psychological problems, and also improve the tacit understanding of this Demon Sword unit.

After listening to what Gan Yuelong said, Shen Yuelan felt that what Gan Yuelong said made sense, and that bringing more people back would also demonstrate that she was good at preaching in the south.

After this matter was settled, the Yaodao Jis were quite happy. Not only did they successfully find new units, but they were also able to live in the Song Dynasty at public expense for a period of time. This was a treatment they had not been able to enjoy before in combat units.

However, due to the addition of new members, Shen Yuelan and her team had to do a lot more preparation for their return trip, so they had to postpone the return date again.

This is because the Inner World Administration stipulates that civil servants in the Inner World are not allowed to fly freely in the outer space and time. Shen Yuelan and others also came here on foot before.

The Yongchang Mausoleum incident was an emergency, and Gan Yuelong had someone above him. It was late at night, so one or two times wouldn't be a problem. This time, with so many people, even Gan Yuelong couldn't handle it.

Therefore, the workload for the return trip increased a lot compared to when there were only Shen Yuelan and other three people. Food, supplies, clothing, and the silver needed for everyone's life in the Song Dynasty all needed the help of the team to prepare and transport them again.

Therefore, everyone's journey had to be delayed again and again until the second year of Chunhua, when the garrisons in the other world had almost all left. Shen Yuelan and others finally prepared all the supplies and began their return journey. At this time, nine years had passed since they left Tokyo.

The speed of this team of more than 30 people was much faster than Shen Yuelan had imagined. All the sword girls were skilled in martial arts, so they were not afraid of obstacles like bandits and robbers. They would just kill them if they dared to come.

But even so, it still took them half a year to get back to Tokyo Temple. Looking at the familiar small temple in the distance, Shen Yuelan could only pray that Lao Zhao could live longer so that he could see her again.

Chapter 40: Things Have Changed

When Shen Yuelan and others returned to Tokyo, it was already spring in the third year of Chunhua. Looking at the Xiaoguan after a ten-year absence, Shen Yuelan felt quite depressed. It was here that she sent off Yuanxian, and perhaps she would have to send off another person who was both her teacher and friend soon.

Xiaoguan still looks the same as before, seemingly broken but still standing strong. Shen Yuelan tried knocking on the door and waited for a while, but there was no response. Shen Yuelan felt a little disappointed.

Shen Yuelan knocked again without giving up and waited for a long time, but still no response. Just when everyone was feeling disappointed, suddenly, an old and familiar voice was heard.

[Who is it? Is it Ming Lan?] A blind old man, whose hair is covered with silver and whose appearance has been eroded by time, walks slowly towards me, leaning on a cane.

Everyone looked at the old man in front of them, their eyes suddenly reddened, and they were quite emotional. Even though time had passed, he was still standing, and he was still waiting for them.

Shen Yuelan gently stroked Lao Zhao's calloused hands and replied softly:

【Lao Zhao, we are back. 】

The old man was stunned when he heard this, dropped the cane in his hand, and tremblingly stroked Shen Yuelan's face, which had not changed at all over the years.

[Ahh~, it's really Minglan, it's really Minglan, you're finally back, you're finally back, ahh~, you made me wait so hard, ahh~]

Looking at Old Zhao, who was sitting on the ground and crying, everyone was filled with mixed feelings. Ten years passed in a flash for Shen Yuelan and others, but for an ordinary person, it was a time when things and people have changed. How many decades can a person have in his life?

In the past ten years, Li Qingzhao's poem "Things are different, people have changed, everything is over; tears flow before I can speak" is the most appropriate way to describe Lao Zhao's experience.

After Shen Yuelan and others went to Annan, Liu E experienced a setback. This was because Zhao Er saw Zhao Yuanxiu looking haggard and thin one day, and was a little puzzled. He called Zhao Yuanxiu's wet nurse and asked who was serving the prince?

Zhao Yuanxiu's wet nurse had a bad relationship with Liu E, so she exaggerated the story of Liu E's entry into the palace to Zhao Er, concealing the fact that Liu E's father was Liu Tong, the former commander of the Hujie Army and the governor of Jiazhou.

Liu E was only described as an orphan from the common people with humble birth and unknown origins. When Zhao Er heard that Zhao Yuanxiu was having an affair with a woman of humble birth, he became very angry and forced Zhao Yuanxiu to drive Liu E out of the palace.

Zhao Yuanxiu did not dare to disobey openly, but secretly placed Liu E in the home of Zhang Qi, his subordinate, and met with her from time to time. Zhao Er was not unaware of this, but the reason he drove Liu E away was that he was afraid that his son's health would be ruined by alcohol and sex.

Seeing that Zhao Yuanxiu really liked Liu E and his health was gradually recovering, he turned a blind eye and let the two of them go.

Liu E, who was placed in Zhang Qi's home, was served extremely carefully by Zhang Qi. In order to avoid suspicion, Zhang Qi even found another place for her to live.

Liu E turned a disaster into a blessing and was given a certain degree of freedom. She could go out and relax, and she only had to return when Zhao Yuanxiu had a secret meeting with her.

Therefore, during these ten years, Liu E often asked her ex-husband Gong Mei to take her to Xiaoguan to visit in a horse-drawn carriage, and Zhao Yuanxiu naturally tacitly agreed to this.

After a few visits, Du Shiyan and Gong Mei fell in love with each other. With Liu E's care, Gong Mei opened a silver jewelry store to make a living and was living a decent life. Seeing that Gong Mei was honest, Old Zhao agreed to the marriage.

It was somewhat indecent for a bride to use her old surname from the brothel when she got married, so Lao Zhao changed Du Shiyan's surname to Song, and she became Song Shiyan.

On the day when Song Shiyan got married, Lao Zhao was very happy. This was a rare happy event for him in all these years. Gong Mei did live up to Lao Zhao's expectations. Although she was not rich, she treated Song Shiyan very well.

But things did not always go as planned. Three years ago, Song Shiyan suffered a sudden hemorrhage during childbirth and died of exhaustion. Both mother and child died. Old Zhao suffered a great change and was extremely sad. In the end, he cried his eyes out.

The death of Song Shiyan also brought a huge psychological shadow to Liu E, who was waiting outside the house with Gong Mei. From then on, she never dared to think about the idea of a mother's status being enhanced by her son.

Also passing away in the same year was Yuanxian's sister, Princess Zhao Yuanling of the State of Wei. In the first month of the ninth year of Taiping Xingguo, shortly after Shen Yuelan and others left, she was married off to General Wu Yuanjian of the Left Guard by Zhao Erxia.

She was the first daughter of Zhao Er to get married, and the only princess among his first three daughters who lived to the age of marriage. Shen Yuelan had no idea how Zhao Yuanling lived after marriage.

But as they died young, only eight or nine years after their marriage, at the age of twenty-three or twenty-four, it must not be considered a very happy marriage. Although the sisters Yuan Ling and Yuan Xian were princesses of the Song Dynasty, their fates were not very perfect.

Shen Yuelan didn’t know whether this reflected the tragic fate of all the princesses and princesses of the Song Dynasty. Shen Yuelan only knew that she had lost another friend.

Matters of life and death really made Shen Yuelan sigh. Looking at the haggard Old Zhao, Shen Yuelan turned around and looked at Gan Yuelong. The other party looked at Old Zhao in silence for a long time without saying a word, but just closed his eyes.

Gan Yuelong didn't say anything, but Shen Yuelan understood her meaning clearly and was powerless to save the situation. Shen Yuelan didn't know how Zhao Er felt about losing his daughter in his old age, but Song Shiyan's death was definitely a huge blow to Old Zhao.

The black hair that originally had just a few gray spots was now completely white. The originally straight spine had long since bent, and the eyes that once were bright and lively had lost their luster and turned into a stagnant pool.

Time wastes not only people's bodies, but also their fragile souls.

The returning people moved back into the Taoist temple. The blind old Zhao smiled for the first time in a long time after hearing the energetic voices in his own temple again.

He pulled Shen Yuelan into his room, and tremblingly took out the property deed of the Taoist temple from a hidden corner, and gave it to Shen Yuelan along with his savings over the years.

[Minglan, I am really happy to hear your voice again. I thought I would never see you again in this life. Shiyan is gone, and Yuanling, who used to come to worship, is also gone.]

[Liu E and my disappointing son-in-law are deeply trapped in the marriage. They only come a few times a year, and I am left alone to guard this broken temple. In the dead of night, I have thought that if I had known this would happen, I should have died obediently on the dragon bed.]

[But, you are back, you are all back alive, haha, ah, that’s great, my ten years of perseverance were worth it, God finally gave me a decent explanation, ahem. ]

When he was excited, Lao Zhao started coughing madly. Shen Yuelan quickly found a handkerchief and helped Lao Zhao wipe his cough. Lao Zhao waved his hands, indicating that he was already terminally ill and there was no need to waste his energy.

Chapter 41: Wearing the Yellow Robe

Shen Yuelan was about to reach for Lao Zhao's handkerchief but suddenly stopped. The bright red at the corner of Lao Zhao's mouth was so dazzling. Although she was mentally prepared, Shen Yuelan still burst into tears when the moment really came.

Old Zhao leaned back in his chair, patted Shen Yuelan on the head, and said to her with some distress:

[Stop crying. A girl’s face is ugly after crying. It’s not worth it for my old bones. It’s not worth it.]

[Human power will eventually reach its limit, and life span cannot be reversed. It is time and fate. I am satisfied and content to be able to wait for you to come back. 】

[In my life, I have betrayed others and been betrayed by others, destroyed other people's countries and lost my own country, killed other people's sons and had my son killed by others, but I have no regrets. I have no regrets. ]

[Go, child, go to your friends. My life has come to an end. There is no need to look back. Look forward. That is the direction you should focus on.]
