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

Shen Yuelan was gently pushed away by Lao Zhao. Looking at the hunched figure getting farther and farther away from her, Shen Yuelan suddenly remembered the essay by Long Yingtai that she had read a few years ago:

[I slowly, slowly came to understand that the so-called father-daughter and mother-son relationship only means that your fate with him is in this life, and you will continue to watch his back as he walks farther and farther away.

You stand at one end of the path, watching him gradually disappear at the bend of the path, and his back tells you that you don’t need to chase him. 】

In the end, Old Zhao passed away. On the second day after Shen Yuelan and others returned to the Taoist temple, when Shen Sushang was planning to go and reminisce with him, she found that he had passed away with a smile on his face.

Although Shen Yuelan also wanted to make him a painted coffin, given that the two had an appointment in Tianshui before, Shen Yuelan felt that Lao Zhao might want to return to his roots rather than stay with her forever like Zhao Yuanxian.

Therefore, Shen Yuelan ordered a top-quality rosewood coffin, planning to transform herself into a young man and pass herself off as Zhao's eldest grandson after the seventh day after his death.

With the members of the Demon Sword Squadron transformed into middle-aged strong servants, they carried the coffin and went west from the Tokyo territory to Tianshui County, and finally buried Old Zhao in the Zhao Family Cemetery.

On the eve of departure, Shen Yuelan recalled that when he first met Lao Zhao, Lao Zhao hoped that she could help him to resolve the disaster that might be caused after his death. Shen Yuelan naturally knew what the so-called "disaster" referred to.

It's nothing more than Zhao Er's plan to kill people to silence them, and get rid of everyone who knows that Zhao Da is still alive, except for the Zhao Song emperor. Haha, the problem is, with so many sword ladies in the yard, who can he kill with his few swords?

On the night of Old Zhao's seventh day after his death, an old man really did arrive with more than 2,000 guardsmen who surrounded the Taoist temple in a mighty force. Without saying a word, they kicked down the door and rushed in.

However, after a while, the shouting and killing stopped abruptly, and the guards who had rushed into the hall retreated like a tide. Following behind them, forcing them back, were thirty "Armed Fairies" holding magic swords, led by the Fairy in White Skirt.

It's not that they haven't tried before, but unlike the gentle and intellectual "Goddess" recorded in history books, if they don't obey the orders of these goddesses, they will be killed instantly.

Just a moment ago, two palace guards (one palace guard had a full complement of 100 men) that did not obey the [Heavenly Order] were completely wiped out by these [Armed Heavenly Maidens]. You should know that the Great Song Dynasty only has a total of 24 palace guards.

What made the guards in front of the palace break out in cold sweats was that countless Qin soldiers suddenly appeared around them and completely surrounded them. If they dared to make any unusual movements, they would be shot to death immediately.

With Qin soldiers behind and the [Goddess of Heaven] in front, this most elite army of the Song Dynasty seemed to be on the verge of destruction. At this time, the old man who was tightly protected by the guards in front of the hall suddenly spoke.

[Back off. The people in this temple can kill us as easily as killing chickens and dogs. How can you be their enemy in one blow? Am I right, Minglan's niece?]

[Haha, he is indeed a contemporary emperor. If it weren't for the Gaoliang River battle, he would have been considered a great leader. ]

Hearing Shen Yuelan exposing his shortcomings in front of everyone, Zhao Jiong's eyes widened, and he was obviously unable to hold back.

[Humph, what are you talking about? I am a great ruler! I took back Wuyue and Quanzhang! I destroyed Northern Han! I am a great ruler who far surpasses my dead brother! ]

Zhao Jiong righteously refuted the accusation that Shen Yuelan had put on him, and solemnly explained his great achievements to everyone. Oh, if it weren't for the last sentence, Shen Yuelan might have believed it.

【Haha, you are joking.】

She was dressed in a girl's outfit, with a tube top with a white background and a green phoenix pattern on the upper body, a tulle short jacket with a blue background and silver thread patterns on the outer layer, and a blue pleated skirt with silver thread cloud patterns embroidered on the lower body.

Shen Yuelan, who had no makeup on her face but looked charming and evil just by her pair of red eyes, walked out from the kicked-down door surrounded by the demon sword ladies.

Although she is not wearing a single trace of ink, she looks more like a demon king than the demon lord version of Shen Yuelan. At this moment, Shen Yuelan is less solemn and more unruly, like a spoiled daughter of a wealthy family. It is impossible to guess what she is going to do next.

But, this is more like a demon king, isn't it? This is much scarier than those [Demon Lords] who follow the rules, wow!

The aura exuded by this girl dressed like a girl next door made the battle-hardened soldiers in front of the palace sweat profusely and almost lose their will to fight.

How could he not lose his will to fight? Shen Yuelan, with her hands behind her back, threw three national collapse book spiritual arts behind her. Even Zhao Jiong, who had the strongest momentum, was affected at this moment and was inexplicably flustered.

With a "pop" sound, the first weapon fell, completely breaking the psychological defenses of the guards in front of the hall, followed by the sound of more and more weapons falling.

Even the bravest soldiers would find it difficult to resist Emperor Daojun's method of destroying the country.

【Long live the emperor! 】

【Long live the emperor! Long, long live the emperor! ! ! ! 】

No one knew it, but that idiot shouted "Long live the emperor!" In an instant, the remaining two thousand guards in front of the palace all knelt down in front of Shen Yuelan and shouted "Long live the emperor" in unison.

The thoughts of the guards in front of the palace were very simple. The girl in front of them was a direct descendant of Taizu recognized by the old emperor. She had tens of thousands of soldiers, was protected by goddesses, had amazing momentum, and had all kinds of buffs stacked on top. She met the conditions to be crowned with the yellow robe.

Since Zhao Guangyi was able to seize the throne from Taizu in the first place, there seemed to be nothing wrong with Taizu's descendants taking it back. Besides, since everyone else had knelt, there seemed to be no point in holding on, so the current embarrassing situation came into being.

Oh, that’s not what I meant. Shen Yuelan felt like crying but had no tears for a moment.

Chapter 42: The Imperial Guards

But the one who wanted to cry more than Shen Yuelan was Zhao Jiong. The two thousand guards he brought with him were gone just like that? This was very embarrassing. Should he be more sensible and take over his brother's shift? Zhao Jiong fell into deep thought.

Fortunately, Shen Yuelan had no intention of changing history, and she did not accept the [yellow robe], which made Zhao Jiong, who was already a frightened bird, feel relieved.

But in front of everyone, she asked Zhao Jiong for the ownership of the remaining 2,200 palace guards.

The reason why Shen Yuelan planned to accept this elite force of the Song Dynasty was because she learned from Shen Sushang about the origin and usage of the main skill - Qin Wang Sweeps the World.

Shen Sushang told Shen Yuelan that the Qin Ruishi Corps in her hands was not just about the so-called skill data. How could it be so flexible to create more than 10,000 Qin soldiers with completely different personalities and appearances?

Shen Sushang was actually a very special beauty. She was one of the ten contract coins used as burial objects for the First Emperor. For each contract coin, there were tens of thousands of Qin warriors who signed a subordination contract with her.

The actual operation of signing the contract is that when Shen Suchang's body is just cast, it is immersed in the blood pool of tens of thousands of Qin Rui warriors. After the heat from the coin itself dries up the blood pool, the contract is signed.

If Shen Suchang was just an ordinary copper coin, then this contract would be useless. But Shen Suchang happened to cultivate herself into a demon queen, so this ancient contract gained energy support and really took effect.

Of course, Shen Sushang alone cannot successfully summon the Qin Ruishi Legion. After all, she is only the medium of the contract. Otherwise, how could she allow the Zhao brothers to shit on her head?

She needs a contractor, and the legion needs an emperor, who can use skills to summon the legion out of the contract, and this person is Shen Yuelan.

Since the body of Shen Suchang's demon coin was integrated into the core of Shen Yuelan's demon coin, Shen Suchang found that not only did she have a way to increase the number of Qin Ruishi, but even the authority to contract the Song Dynasty's imperial guards seemed to be open to her.

The way to increase the number of Qin Rui Shi is very simple. As long as Shen Su Shang can find and devour other contract money, then Shen Su Shang can obtain the contracts on other contract coins, and thus obtain the Qin Rui Shi Legion behind them.

The method of contracting the Song Dynasty's imperial guards is different from that of contracting the Qin Ruishi. The living imperial guards are required to recognize Shen Sushang's contractor as the monarch and take the initiative to enter Shen Sushang's imperial guards warehouse.

So, after Shen Yuelan successfully extorted the ownership of the guards in front of the temple from Zhao Jiong and invited them into the Taoist temple, Shen Sushang stood in front of the guards in front of the temple and asked them directly:

[You are willing to worship His Highness Minglan as the emperor? ]

The guards in front of the palace knew that they could only follow Shen Yuelan to the end. If they turned back, they would surely die, and their families would also be implicated. So they shouted in unison:

[It is what I really want, but I dare not ask for it!! ]

Shen Sushang smiled charmingly when she heard that, then activated the core and opened the door of the Imperial Guards' warehouse. It was a golden door engraved with Song-style dragon patterns. She ordered all the guards in front of the palace to enter and told them clearly that anyone who entered this door was not an ordinary person.

The guards in front of the palace, who were already curious about the glittering dragon gate, could no longer contain their excitement after hearing this and rushed into the gate of the imperial guards' warehouse.

Shen Sushang took advantage of others not paying attention and threw in the bodies of the two imperial guards who had been killed before. The army has always been a whole.

When more than 80% of the army members agree, the remaining 20%, whether alive or dead, will be automatically included.

As a result, Shen Yuelan successfully had a complete team of guards in front of the palace that had experienced the wars in the early Song Dynasty. The guards in front of the palace during this period were still very brave.

After the door of the Imperial Army warehouse was completely closed and the noise dissipated, the 2,400 guards in front of the palace returned to their original places. Even the two guards who were killed by the demon sword princesses were resurrected, but they were all in a dormant state.

Of course it has to be returned. History cannot be changed lightly. The life and death of one or two insignificant characters may be controlled, but those who can enter the palace guards are not ordinary people. Killing one of them will have a significant impact.

All that was left in the Imperial Guards' warehouse were their soul contracts, and their real bodies were naturally thrown back. However, conversely, all their memories of tonight were erased.

Zhao Jiong in the temple received a similar treatment. All his memories about the betrayal of the guards in front of the temple, Shen Yuelan, Yao Dao Ji, and Qin Rui Shi were erased by Gan Yuelong. He, Zhao Jiong, only came to keep vigil for his brother today!

So the next day, Zhao Gui, who had kept vigil for his brother in a daze, returned to the palace in a daze, surrounded by the guards in front of the palace.

Zhao Jiong sat on the threshold of his bedroom, looking at the endless palace complex, still thinking with a depressed look on his face, wondering what he was thinking yesterday and why he ran to keep vigil on a whim. He felt like he had forgotten something.

Could it be that the brothers Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Defang, who I had killed, were behind this? They wanted me to kowtow in front of their father's tablet and admit my fault? Humph, what a joke!

From then on, Zhao Guang became suspicious by nature, and because of excessive worry, his health deteriorated. The arrow wound he received in the battle of Gaoliang River also began to become serious, and it would recur every year.

In order to find a doctor, Zhao Jiong even began to believe in the words of quacks. He went through this for five years and finally died of illness in the third year of Zhidao.

However, these had nothing to do with Shen Yuelan. After seeing Zhao Jiong off, she continued to carry out her funeral plan, leading the demon sword girls from Tokyo and heading towards Tianshui County, Qinzhou.

Gan Yuelong stayed in the small temple. She wanted to finish up the matter of Lao Zhao. After all, there was no record in history that he lived until the third year of Chunhua, and there could be no record after that.

Old Zhao's body had long been sealed in a painted coffin by Shen Yuelan, and would be put back into the coffin after arriving in Tianshui. Therefore, the coffin that everyone was escorting was actually an empty coffin.

Therefore, Shen Yuelan was not in a hurry to travel. She stopped and walked along the way. The demon sword girls stopped to play in Henan Prefecture (Luoyang), Jingzhao Prefecture (Chang'an), Fengxiang Prefecture (Baoji) and other places.

When on the road, she transformed into the image of a strong man. Once she entered the city, she changed back into the appearance of a girl and started shopping in the city.

Therefore, according to the Yaodao Ji's walking speed, the journey should have taken one year to complete, but it took them two years to reach Tianshui County in Qinzhou.

However, Shen Yuelan didn't care. The reason she brought them out was to let them relax. Only after a good rest could they work more efficiently.

Shen Yuelan wanted to be a good leader. She was fed up with those rubbish leaders in her previous life who only asked her to work overtime and spoke in official language when asked about salary and benefits. She wanted to let the horse run without giving it grass to eat. She was dreaming.

I am determined not to be that kind of capitalist.

Chapter 43: Years have passed

Tianshui County is located on the border of Shaanxi and Gansu. The ecology during the Tang and Song dynasties was much better than in later generations, although the vegetation coverage rate was much lower than that during the Qin and Han dynasties.

But at least Shen Yuelan did not see any ravines and gullies in her area. The Loess Plateau was still a flat road at this time, and there were quite a few green plants along the way, so the environment was acceptable.

Most of the Zhao clan members in Tianshui were buried here. Although it was not a bad idea to bury Old Zhao here, Shen Yuelan felt a little upset when she thought about the ravines and ditches here after more than a thousand years.

Who knows if Lao Zhao's remains would be washed out a thousand years later if he was buried here? That would be a bit too tragic.

Therefore, Shen Yuelan turned her attention to the Qinling Mountains in the south of Tianshui County, where the forests were dense and there would be no possibility of moving the grave.

Moreover, Qinling Mountains is said to be one of the many dragon veins, and it is the most suitable place to bury the founding monarch of a dynasty. Shen Yuelan thought about it again and again, and finally decided to place Lao Zhao on the hillside of Qinling Mountains near Tianshui.

The place chosen by Shen Yuelan was not a good feng shui site. Shen Yuelan didn't understand it either. She just felt that Lao Zhao might want to be able to see Tianshui at a glance, and didn't want to be too far from the earth and too close to the sky, so he was buried halfway up the mountain in the shade of the mountain.

The erected tombstone was engraved with "Tomb of Zhao Xuanlang". Shen Yuelan did not use Lao Zhao's real name. That name had already been buried in Yongchang Mausoleum, and only Zhao Xuanlang was buried there.

Looking at the already built cemetery, Shen Yuelan sighed softly. She had nothing more to say to Lao Zhao. Everything she should have said had been said before she died, and everything she shouldn't have said had also been said in the past two years.

It has been many years since we last met. Rest in peace, Old Zhao.

In Tianshui City, the demon sword ladies have dispersed and started to appreciate the "charm" of the northwest region. This place is already a border area of the Northern Song Dynasty. Continuing northward for hundreds of miles from here, they will reach the five states of Xia, Sui, Yin, You, and Jing, which belong to the Dingnan Army that Zhao Er has never been able to deal with.

That is the predecessor of the Western Xia Kingdom established more than 40 years later. Of course, Dingnan Army is still nominally the territory of the Song Dynasty. In the past few years, the governor here assisted Zhao Er in conquering the Northern Han Dynasty, but it is no longer considered the core control area of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Seeing Shen Yuelan looking into the distance to the north, Meng Anran, who had been following her, asked Shen Yuelan with some confusion, "Is there something wrong in the north?"

Shen Yuelan smiled and replied:

[There aren't so many questions. I just feel a little sad that after forty years, it will be the land of Xia, not the land of Song.]

[Alas, this is the Song Dynasty after all. Among the 18 emperors of the Song Dynasty, except for the founding monarch we just buried, how many of the remaining ones were legitimate emperors? Most of them treated being emperor as a side job.]

Seeing Meng Anran's angry look, Shen Yuelan shook her head with a wry smile, looking at this era quite bitterly. Now it is the first year of Zhidao, when Emperor Zhenzong was canonized as the crown prince. In two years, it will be the time when Zhao Ershou dies.

Although Zhao Er came to the throne illegitimately, he was an emperor with a pioneering spirit. The passing of two generations of kings who had established themselves through military force represented the end of an era in the Northern Song Dynasty. Since Emperor Taizong, no one had been able to make progress.

But history is history, there is no if, no matter how regretful it is, it cannot be changed in the slightest.

Knowing that this matter was beyond her control, Shen Yuelan stopped thinking about it and returned to her business. The so-called business was to find out the news about the contract money.

Ever since she knew that Qin Ruishi could be increased, Shen Yuelan began to look for him. Unfortunately, Tokyo was still some distance away from the Guanzhong area, and the possibility of finding him in Tokyo was slim.

Shen Yuelan then had the idea of coming here to investigate. Or rather, after sending Old Zhao home, Shen Yuelan had no plan to go back so soon. Anyway, there were still more than ten years before Liu E became queen, so there was plenty of time.

Finding one would mean an army of ten thousand, so it was certainly worth everyone's effort to find it. Before this, when everyone passed by Chang'an, Shen Sushang had explored the burial pit where she had been.

The result was naturally as everyone expected. Since Shen Suchang could be exiled, the other nine contract coins naturally could not just lie in the burial pit.

Therefore, everyone planned to bury Lao Zhao first, and then search one city after another from west to east in this pre-Qin land. It would be a huge profit if they could find one.

The Demon Sword Princesses still have fresh memories of the Qin Rui soldiers who surrounded and killed the guards in front of the palace. If they could bring dozens of such helpers with them when they went into battle, the casualty rate of the Demon Sword Princesses would not be so high.

Therefore, Shen Yuelan had an additional course in her spare time, which was to learn how to make talismans from a young lady in the team who played with talisman swords, so as to reach the level of being able to seal her special skills into talismans.

Although it could be used if it was drawn into a scroll, the scroll was too large compared to the talisman, and was collectively disliked by the demon sword ladies. Shen Yuelan had no choice but to be forced to accept the teachings of talisman art.

The current situation is that Shen Yuelan has dispersed all the Demon Sword Princesses in groups of three. If nothing is discovered, they will meet at the city gate in three days and continue to the next city.

Shen Sushang has several hidden places, and she needs to go outside the city to explore them in a separate group. In the past two years, Shen Huanyan has been treated as a team pet by the demon sword girls because of her cuteness and adorableness. She is very rare.

Therefore, during this grouping, Shen Huanyan was borrowed by the lady with a talisman knife who taught Shen Yuelan the art of talismans. Shen Yuelan had no choice but to grab Meng Anran, the queen, as her team member, otherwise it would be too miserable for her to be alone.

The two were walking on the local antique street at the moment, and from time to time they could see several groups of team members wandering around here. The team members were quite positive about this matter. After all, Shen Yuelan promised that whoever could help her find a contract coin would be given 20 volumes of the National Collapse Book Spirit Scroll.

The Yaodao princesses had a much deeper impression of the Guobengshu Lingshu than Qin Ruishi. It could be said that half of the reason these people were able to survive was thanks to the Guobengshu Lingshu.

What's more, Shen Yuelan also promised that whoever helped her find the first contract money first, after she learned the talisman technique, she would give that person 20 Qin Wang Talismans. This name was the name Shen Yuelan gave to her new talisman that had not yet been born.

However, the Qin Banliang is not easy to recognize, because there are also Han Banliang and Warring States Banliang with the same name to confuse people. It is particularly difficult to find it for those who are not familiar with it.

Therefore, the standard that Shen Sushang finally set for everyone was as simple as possible, which was to specifically look for the large-sized half-liang coins, so that at least the large number of Han half-liang coins could be excluded.

Now, Shen Yuelan and Meng Anran are also looking according to this standard. Although Shen Yuelan knows that the font on the Qin Banliang was written by Li Si, the font of the Warring States Banliang is probably a bit rougher than that of the Qin Banliang.

But when it really comes into my hands, how can I tell the difference? My eyes cannot distinguish the age of the coin. Oh, I can tell if there is a goblin or not.

Chapter 44: My sister’s house is very big

Look, Shen Yuelan was looking clearly at an ant nose coin, on which was a short-haired red-haired enchantress dressed as a Chu woman, floating in the air, holding a scroll and recording something from time to time.

Shen Yuelan had already looked away before the enchantress noticed. That was not the enchantress who had been corrupted by negative energy. On the contrary, this guy was very strong.

Therefore, Shen Yuelan followed the principle of less trouble is better and deliberately avoided the antique stall where the beauty was. However, she never thought that this action attracted the attention of the beauty.

Feeling a pair of eyes staring at her, Shen Yuelan was somewhat at a loss. Even though she was not defeated, the two enchanting ladies on her payroll were not around at the moment and it would take some time to recall them. With only one enchanting sword lady following her, her sense of security plummeted.
