After analyzing the intelligence, Shen Yuelan became more and more unwilling to do this. The political struggle among the top leaders was too bloody, which fully demonstrated the saying "where there are people, there are rivers and lakes".
It was a pity for the soldiers who died on the battlefield. If they had known earlier, they would not have let Lu Lingjia and the others rush forward. It was really not worth it. But even if Shen Yuelan regretted it, there was no room for regret at this point.
It is impossible for Shen Yuelan to be like the protagonist in the movie, who goes to the mountain of tigers even though he knows there is a tiger there. If she seeks revenge when she is weak, it will only make Shen Yuelan lose more. Things will change over time. There will always be opportunities in the future.
By the way, this seems to be the information delivered yesterday afternoon. I don’t know what the situation is now. Let me call Sister Yuelong and ask.
[Beep…beep…beep…]
[Hello? Is Sister Yuelong here? ]
[Yes, I am here, I am here, eating barbecue at your sister Hua's place. Let me tell you, your sister Hua is very good at barbecue, among other things. Yes, it tastes really good.]
[Oh, it looks like the situation over there is pretty good now. Do you guys still have time to enjoy a barbecue? ]
[Ah, you mean the big defeat before? That's long gone. The commander now, Jing'an, is pretty good. He just listens to advice.]
[She has been winning battles one after another recently. Just yesterday, she led the charge and directly sank the enemy's void battleship. Isn't that amazing? ]
Gan Yuelong's words were full of protectiveness, but Shen Yuelan didn't understand. She thought this must be another demon sword princess who had an old relationship with Gan Yuelong, and might become an important connection for Shen Yuelan in the future.
And maybe, this big sister Yao Dao Ji is right beside Gan Yuelong at this moment, celebrating with her, so Shen Yuelan also gave face to Gan Yuelong and followed his words, praising:
[Really? This sister is really amazing. She reminds me of a friend who has passed away.]
[Um, sorry for reminding you of sad things. He is indeed a good kid and a hero.]
[In short, it won’t take long for Jing’an and the others to repair the space wall and end this terrible war as soon as possible. This sudden war caused the Inner World Administration to suffer a huge loss, and it actually lasted for more than two months.]
[The funds to be invested in the repair this time are huge, but after recovering the void battleship, I should be able to make some money back. ]
Shen Yuelan listened to Gan Yuelong's gloating tone, and her mood, which had been gloomy because of the information, suddenly improved. As long as they can win, Lin Jia and the others will not have sacrificed in vain.
[Is that so? I feel relieved then.]
[Well, Yue Lan, when the war is over and everything is back on track, I will bring you here again to meet those people you didn't have time to say goodbye to.]
Shen Yuelan was silent for a while after hearing Gan Yuelong's invitation. A familiar stranger? Well, let me say goodbye again when the time comes, even if it's one-sided.
After calming down, Shen Yuelan calmly accepted Gan Yuelong's invitation and took the initiative to change the topic.
[By the way, there is one more thing I want to ask you, Sister Yuelong. ]
[Ah, what's going on? ]
Gan Yuelong on the other end of the phone was chewing the delicious barbecue. He could hardly speak clearly while eating. Shen Yuelan drooled when she heard it. "Barbecue, right? I'll make him one when I get back."
[It's not a big deal, but Sister Yuelong, is the Demon Soul Pill you gave me last time real? Why didn't it work after I gave it to Shen Suchang? ]
[Huh? You gave it to Shen Suchang? It would be strange if it had any effect. In fact, even if you gave it to Shen Huanyan, it wouldn't have much effect.]
[The Demon Soul Pill is for newly born demon girls to break through the barrier of advancement. You, Su Xin and Su Yi may be able to use it in the future, and that soul demon can also use it. As for the others, they can only be chewed like candy beans. ]
Shen Yuelan was very depressed when she heard that. Okay, she used the wrong medicine. Let it be candy beans. It will let Su Chang sleep more comfortably and it won’t be considered as burying it.
Afterwards, Shen Yuelan asked some more questions about the maintenance of soul demons and the weight loss of fat foxes. Although Gan Yuelong's answer was rather general, Shen Yuelan still roughly understood what she meant.
Regarding that soul demon, Gan Yuelong meant that Shen Yuelan should just keep it with her all the time. At a time when the [Daxia District] is about to be reset, only Shen Yuelan can steadily provide her with the memory fragments needed for growth.
After the soul demon obtains enough memory fragments from Shen Yuelan, it can be wrapped in the clothes made by Liu E herself, or placed in Liu E's painted coffin.
In short, we need to find a suitable body for the soul demon. As for what to find, it depends on Shen Yuelan herself.
Chapter 117: The Clever Fox
By the time Shen Yuelan finished her call, it was already time to get off work. Shen Huanyan had also finally finished reading all the review documents and was stretching lazily in exhaustion.
Just when the two finished their work for the day and were about to go back to study barbecue, two slightly tired figures flashed into Shen Yuelan's office.
When Shen Yuelan turned around, she saw two more people sitting on the sofa opposite her. She looked closely and found that they were Liang Suqing and Zhou Rounu, whom she had not seen for many years. It seemed that these two people had finally completed that embarrassing task.
When the two saw that Shen Yuelan finally noticed them, they immediately looked extremely aggrieved. They rushed forward and hugged Shen Yuelan and burst into tears.
Shen Yuelan, who was confused about the two people's situation, was quite panicked for a moment. She could only keep comforting them and asking them what had happened.
After the two calmed down and drank two cups of ginger tea to warm themselves up, they began to slowly tell Shen Yuelan about their experiences over the years.
The two were previously assigned to hunt down the Tenpo demon, whose true form is the Tenpo Tsūho, at the end of the Edo period (around 1835 AD) in Inamichikō.
But because they were unable to catch the cunning guy, the two were forced to stay until the end of the Boshin War, and then they were finally able to return. When did the Boshin War take place? It was around 1868 AD.
It was several years after the Edo period ended and the shogun had fallen for a long time before the two finally found the guy in a izakaya outside Edo Castle.
The two of them have been together in Daoguang for more than 30 years, which is longer than the time Shen Yuelan spent in the Song Dynasty. It has directly transformed the two of them from a close couple in love to an old couple.
They're like an old couple who know what shit the other is going to do just by the way the other farts.
Shen Yuelan played with the little money monster in her hand and asked the two curiously, are there any monsters and demons handed down from the Heian period in the Inamichi of the Edo period?
[Um, demons and ghosts? I can't say there aren't any, but we rarely encounter them. The ones we encounter most often are our colleagues from the Mythology Management Bureau. They often chase and chop the demons with demon swords.]
[Therefore, very few monsters dare to show their heads openly. The monsters on Daoguang's side have no other skills, but their hide-and-seek skills are really unique. Unless a monster like you goes to catch people, it will be troublesome for anyone who goes. ]
The two of them kept mumbling to Shen Yuelan, saying that they never wanted to go to Daoguang again. The food in ancient Daoguang was the same over and over again, and they couldn't even eat fruit, which was too uncomfortable.
Shen Yuelan smiled without saying anything. The food at Daoguang is pretty good. Go and try it in medieval Europe. You can eat bread that is enough to kill people.
[Okay, stop talking about the food over there. You're not starving. How are your two homes in the other world? Have you settled down? ]
The two shook their heads when they heard this. They had taken on an urgent job and went out on the mission right away. As for accommodation and other things, they would have to go through the procedures to find a place to stay after they got to work tomorrow.
[Okay, stay at my place today. I'll make barbecue for you guys tonight.]
Shen Yuelan's promise drew cheers from the two and Shen Huanyan's eye roll. Seeing this, Shen Yuelan secretly stuck out her tongue at Shen Huanyan. Shen Huanyan coughed and inadvertently rubbed her fair little hands. Shen Yuelan immediately understood.
When the few of them walked towards the door, Shen Yuelan secretly stuffed a bag of Daguan Tongbao into Shen Huanyan's pocket as a bribe. The little money-grubber weighed the money and although she didn't understand what it was, she couldn't help but feel happy doing it.
Shen Huanyan opened her purse and happily ate two of them. Then she followed Shen Yuelan and the others back contentedly to prepare the barbecue so that everyone could taste her cooking skills.
But when they returned home, they were shocked to find that the courtyard of their home had undergone earth-shaking changes. Thousands of soldiers were carrying out large-scale construction projects under the command of Su Xuan and others.
Although most of them had only completed the foundation construction, Shen Yuelan could still roughly see the purpose of these buildings through the outline of the foundation.
The northwest part of the courtyard should still be a military camp, but it adopts a more modern design, with dormitories, canteens, drill grounds and various training facilities.
In the northeast region, a large cemetery has been built. Apart from the main facilities, which is a large dome building with reinforced concrete structure, the rest of the cemetery is covered with green plants and flowers, which looks lush and beautiful.
There were many soldiers who looked like gardeners, tending flowers and plants inside, looking very comfortable. The imperial guards who had taken off their military uniforms were actually just ordinary farmers, and it was the war that forced them to join the army.
Although only the foundation of the southeast corner of the courtyard has been completed, judging from the huge underground structure, it should be a wine cellar built for itself. The depth of the excavation is sufficient, and Su Jiu's opinion should have been taken into consideration.
Construction in the southwest direction has not started yet, but according to the planning map in Su Xuan's hand, that should be the location of the museum. It was obvious that he had just casually mentioned his future plans for the courtyard while eating breakfast.
I didn't expect that these two little guys would break ground on the same day. As for manpower, there are more than a thousand imperial guards, so there is really nothing to worry about.
What puzzled Shen Yuelan was where these little guys got the model data of these buildings. It was obvious that each one of them was not cheap in the market.
When Su Xuan heard Shen Yuelan's doubts, she said proudly that there were many similar things on the Internet connected to Shen Yuelan's bedroom computer, and she could find a lot of drawings by searching.
As long as you use some brain cells, copy the drawings into your mind, imagine them, and then project them onto the energy block, models and materials will be everywhere.
Shen Yuelan was shocked when she heard that. What do you mean by "just use a few brain cells"? You're so pretentious that even a hundred of yourself put together wouldn't be able to do it.
Shen Yuelan suddenly felt like she had picked up a treasure. If she relied on Su Jiu's little brain and combined it with her own [Song Dynasty Production and Construction Corps], there didn't seem to be any technical difficulties in setting up a real estate development company in the other world.
After Shen Yuelan and Su Xuan discussed it, they hit it off and decided to make a big move in the inner world. Shen Yuelan reported their plan to Gan Yuelong, and the person on the other end of the phone was also surprised at the little fox's ability.
[I've heard that the nine-tailed fox is very smart, but I didn't expect it to be so smart. Just go ahead and do it. There is no rule in the other world that civil servants can't have side jobs. If anything goes wrong, I'll help you settle it.]
[If the results are good after practice, remember to build one for me. I want a Suzhou-style garden! ]
[Okay, okay, I can’t do without you. 】
With Gan Yuelong's endorsement, Shen Yuelan was completely relieved. As for the company's affairs, she only had to provide people. Shen Yuelan delegated the rest of the management and construction work to Su Xuan and pushed her to the throne of the company's president.
The fox's brain is much smarter than hers. Shen Yuelan is quite aware of her own intelligence.
Su Jiu's plan was to build all the buildings in his own home first, and then wait for Liang Suqing and Zhou Runnu to arrive at the resettlement site and build them a new home for free. The other demon sword girls in the team could all get the same treatment.
The reason for this is that Su Xuan plans to build a batch of sample houses first, practice, accumulate some experience, achieve some results, spread out favors, and then start taking orders and doing business.
By doing this, Su Xuan will have a basis to rely on when she promotes her products in the future, and it will seem more reliable.
Shen Yuelan didn't intend to care about Su Xuan's twists and turns. She and Su Jiu were more looking forward to starting their wine-making business immediately after the construction of the winery was completed.
After seeing Su Xuan set up a company, Su Jiu actually wanted to set up a wine company in private. However, the winery was not yet established and he did not have any finished wine to sell, so he had to give up for the time being.
Shen Yuelan was aware of Su Jiu's thoughts, but things had to be done step by step, and meals had to be eaten bite by bite. She had to set up the stage first.
When it was dinner time, everyone started a large barbecue in the courtyard. Not only Shen Yuelan and the others were doing it, but the surrounding imperial guards were also doing it.
Although they don't really need to eat on a daily basis, occasionally putting some energy blocks in their mouths is considered a meal.
But when being outside for a long time, one always needs something to eat to satisfy one's cravings, and the canteen in the military camp is built for this purpose.
The meat for this barbecue was sponsored by Su Xuan. Because she repeatedly emphasized that the beef and mutton she had ever eaten were the most delicious, the task of kneading the beef and mutton fell on Su Xuan.
However, to be honest, the beef and mutton cooked by Su Xuan were indeed very delicious, better than any barbecue Shen Yuelan had ever eaten. If she was not afraid to consume too much energy, Shen Yuelan felt that she could still eat half of her sheep.
Chapter 118 Be well
The wonderful barbecue night soon came to an end, and a new day began again. The project, which had been briefly halted, started again, and Su Xuan, who had lost weight again, began to run back and forth between the four construction sites.
Shen Yuelan, with her two sleepy apprentices, set out on the journey to work again. Along the way, the two were still amazed at the bizarre inner world. Inspired by Su Xuan, they also seemed to want to do something.
After arriving at the unit, Liang Suqing and his wife went to the Logistics Support Department to register, while Shen Yuelan returned to the captain's office with a happy face and continued to fight with the pile of documents on the desk.
Shen Yuelan quickly finished processing today's documents, then lay down on the sofa with a happy look on her face and started fishing.
One thing Shen Yuelan likes about the administrative rules of the other world is that the amount of work to be done today is determined the day before, and once it's done, it's done. You won't be given extra work just because you work fast.
Therefore, Shen Yuelan finally had time to check her task interface. In addition to the Tianxi monster task that had been completed, there were three more tasks: arresting Huichang monster, Yihua monster and Mingdao monster.
The so-called "Huaichang Monster" refers to a type of Kaiyuan Tong Bao, which was a coin minted in the late Tang Dynasty when Emperor Wuzong of Tang, Li Yan, implemented a large-scale anti-Buddhist policy in the fifth year of Huichang (845 AD). The coins were made of bronze Buddhist bells and chimes from all over the country.
What is different from ordinary Kaiyuan Tong Bao is that, because of the suggestion of Li Deyu, a famous prime minister in the late Tang Dynasty, this batch of Kaiyuan Tong Bao coins all have words on the back to indicate the place of casting, and most of these words are the abbreviations of major prefectures in the Tang Dynasty.
Because it was first minted during the Huichang period, it is often called "Huichang Kaiyuan". Because it was minted to destroy Buddha, it is also called "Buddha Coin". There is a poem saying:
[The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty surpassed all nations, with singing and dancing in the Kaiyuan era, and the Anshi Rebellion in Shuntian, Huichang had no choice but to borrow money from Buddha.]
Other coins with the same name include Tianjian Wuzhu of Emperor Liang in the Southern Dynasties, Heluo Qian of the Eastern Wei Dynasty in the Northern Dynasties, Deyi Yuanbao and Shuntian Yuanbao of Shi Siming of the Tang Dynasty, Zhou Yuan Tongbao of Emperor Shizong of Zhou in the Five Dynasties, Shaoxing Tongbao of Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty and Tianyou Tongbao of Zhang Shicheng in the late Yuan Dynasty.
The most famous Buddhist coins here, apart from the [Zhou Yuan Tong Bao] of Emperor Shizong of Zhou in the Five Dynasties, are the [Huaichang Kaiyuan] of Emperor Wuzong of Tang.
[Late Tang? That was a truly sad era. There were wise rulers and wise ministers, but they could not resist the tide of history and could only be drowned in the history books at their fingertips, sinking continuously.]
This was Shen Huanyan's evaluation of that period of history, her words were full of regret and helplessness. Although she would have to go there sooner or later, Shen Yuelan chose to look at other things first.
The original forms of the remaining [Ming Dao Yao] and [Yi Hua Yao] are both the currency of Yan State, one of the seven major powers in the Warring States Period. The former represents the prosperity and longevity of this country, while the latter is the last elegy of this country.
What made Shen Yuelan quite depressed was that these two little demons all ran away to the era when King Xi of Yan was in power and hid there. Although it was a happy thing to be able to complete two tasks at once.
But why are all the missions he receives such tragic dramas? Wouldn't it be better to find a prosperous demon hunter for himself? This is how Gan Yuelong answered Shen Yuelan about this question.
[A demon from a prosperous era? Isn’t the Tianxi demon a demon from a prosperous era? It’s the same thing no matter which era we go to. No matter which era we go to, we are just outsiders. We are powerless and can only feel sad in secret.]
[You have fewer missions now, so you may not be able to control your emotional investment very well, and you may get hurt easily. It will be better if you are exposed to more missions in the future. With more experience, you will always be able to learn to protect yourself.]
Shen Yuelan was depressed for a while after receiving such an answer, but that’s a story for later.
Now Shen Yuelan is still struggling about which mission to carry out next, whether to go to the Tang Dynasty to experience the lingering charm of the late Tang Dynasty, or to go to the Warring States Period to experience the war between Yan and Zhao.
Just when Shen Yuelan was struggling, Gan Yuelong's phone call made the choice for her.
[Yue Lan, come over if you have time these two days. The Battle of Bianliang has ended and the rectification has begun. I guess by the time you come here, things will have completely returned to normal. Then you can say goodbye to this era for the last time.]
Shen Yuelan took a deep breath when she heard that, and said that she would be there as soon as she was ready. After hanging up the phone, Shen Yuelan sighed softly. No matter when, separation is the most bitter. She really didn't want to say goodbye.
Shen Huanyan put down the documents, looked at Shen Yuelan and asked:
[Master, do you want me to call Su Xuan and the others over? ]
[No need, we are just going to say goodbye. We won't stay for a few days and will be back soon.]
After the two of them finished processing all the documents on hand, they stood up and walked towards the Field Transmission Section. Perhaps because it was noon, there were not many people in the Field Transmission Section except for a young clerk who looked a little immature playing games.
When she saw Shen Yuelan coming, she was a little flustered for a moment, thinking that she was discovered by her leader while slacking off on duty. After learning that Shen Yuelan was just planning to come here for a field trip, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Yuelan's plan was to go back to the Xianping period to say goodbye to Liu E, who was about the same age as her. However, she never expected that the young clerk in front of her was so flustered that he accidentally threw a Mingdao ingot into the anchor platform.
By the time the young clerk discovered his mistake, it was too late. The portal to the Mingdao period of the Northern Song Dynasty had already been opened. The young clerk, named Tong Zimu, almost cried when he saw this.
Although it was not impossible to let the young clerk restart it again, Shen Yuelan stared at the Mingdao Yuanbao in a daze, thinking for a long time, and finally gave up the idea of asking Tong Zimu to reopen the portal.
Perhaps this is fate. It is fate that allows me to meet Liu E in her later years and puts a perfect end to this story.
Shen Yuelan took a deep breath and resolutely walked into the portal. When she returned to the Song Dynasty again, it was already February of the second year of Mingdao (1033). At this moment, Liu E was probably at the most high-spirited time in her life.
