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

Mi? He was actually from the royal family of Chu. Shen Yuelan suspected that this guy had some relationship with Qu Yuan. After all, his age and name matched, and Qu Yuan once introduced himself in "Li Sao" like this:

[When the Emperor first saw me, he bestowed upon me a good name, and named me Zhengze, and my courtesy name Lingjun.]

This passage means that my father saw that I was born extraordinary, so he gave me a good name, Ping, and Yuan. Therefore, Qu Yuan's name was Ping, his courtesy name was Yuan, his clan name was Qu, and his surname was Mi.

Also, because men in the pre-Qin period were referred to by their clan names rather than their surnames, he was called Qu Yuan, not Mi Yuan.

In this case, the man in front of him is worthy of suspicion. Qu Yuan had clearly committed suicide by jumping into the Miluo River a year ago, so how come Mi Ping suddenly appeared from the Yangtze River now?

Shen Yuelan didn't want to be patient and play reminiscing games with the old man. If he were Qu Yuan himself, he would treat him well and take care of him until the end of his life.

Anyway, he didn't have many years left to live, and she could get a high-quality native to lead the way, so it was a win-win situation. But if he wasn't, then I'm sorry, Shen Yuelan would have to skip the step of taking care of him and directly see him off to the end.

[Mi Ping? Are you Qu Yuan, the great doctor of the State of Chu? ]

[Haha, if you are asking about Qu Yuan who was exiled twice, then it is indeed me. ]

[Oh? But I heard that Qu Yuan had already committed suicide by jumping into the river last year. How come you are still alive and kicking? ]

[Uh…this…]

Upon hearing this, the old man who called himself Mi Ping's face immediately turned red. He stammered and couldn't explain anything. Finally, he uttered something helplessly.

[This… this is not a death, how could I know that I could still be alive now. ]

[Alas, you have no idea how miserable I have been this year. When I found out that I didn’t die, I had to crawl up from the riverbank and go to the houses nearby to find some food, but I found out that everyone knew that I had jumped into the river and died for my country.]

[What can I do? Tell everyone I'm still alive? Or jump back into the river and die again?]

Seeing the old man's embarrassed and annoyed look, Shen Yuelan gave a wicked smile. She had naturally confirmed this guy's identity a long time ago, and now she just wanted to get some things out of Qu Yuan that she didn't know.

Shen Yuelan asked Huanyan to keep an eye on him, while she went to call the Time Management Bureau to ask what was going on with Qu Yuan and whether she could profit from it.

What they meant was that in Qu Yuan's case, it might have been affected by the death of Wu'an Jun, and it was probably caused by some kind of butterfly effect, but they still needed to investigate the specific cause.

Shangguan He, who was in charge of this matter, secretly discussed with Shen Yuelan and asked Shen Yuelan to help them supervise the matter, and they would not make any special arrangements for this patriotic poet.

Because they had just checked Qu Yuan's physical condition. To be honest, it was not easy for him to survive until now at such an old age and after soaking in the river for such a long time. At most, he could hold on for another three years, and then Qu Yuan would almost die.

Such silent handling can minimize the difficulty of correcting Qu Yuan's attempted suicide, and they will be much more relaxed when dealing with the aftermath.

Of course, the Time Management Bureau would not let Shen Yuelan work for nothing. They promised that as long as Qu Yuan was still alive, Shen Yuelan would receive a work allowance from them every month.

This was exactly what Shen Yuelan wanted from the Time Administration. She accepted the commission quite happily and took Qu Yuan, no, the old man now called Mi Ping, back home to take good care of him.

As long as Mi Ping is alive, Shen Yuelan can continue to take advantage of the Time Management Bureau, so she must take good care of Mi Ping's health and let him live to be eighty-eight.

Mi Ping had no objection to this except for a slight struggle when he first entered the Qin camp (he was tied up, gagged, and taken back).

The original barracks of the Chu woman was simply cleaned up by Su Xin and turned into Mi Ping's room. The old guy was very indignant that Shen Yuelan was actually a general of the Qin army. He refused to eat for a time and wanted to starve himself to death to make his mind clear.

But every time he wanted to do so, he would be attracted by the wine in Shen Yuelan's hand, and he would have to make dumplings just for that little bit of vinegar.

Shen Yuelan stood outside the tent and looked at Mi Ping who was eating with big mouthfuls. A sly smile appeared on her handsome little face. "In front of the great national collapse book spiritual art, you still want to resist? Haha, just eat your food obediently."

Chapter 127 Commitment to Barbarian Qin

During the first days after arriving at the Qin camp, Mi Ping had been venting his dissatisfaction in his own way, whether it was hunger strike or cursing, in short, he just wouldn't stop.

Although Shen Yuelan used the national collapse book spirit technique to suppress him many times, this guy is a patriotic poet who can write works like "Li Sao".

After a short period of silence, he continued to cause trouble again, playing the role of a man who was defeated repeatedly but never gave up. If Shen Yuelan had not still had some respect for this old guy in her heart, she would have killed him when she was by the river.

Of course, what Shen Yuelan said just now were all angry words. Mi Ping is her cash cow now, and Shen Yuelan is reluctant to kill him, but letting him continue to make trouble like this is not a good idea.

Shen Yuelan suddenly thought that the Warring States Period was still full of mythology. If she showed him her skills inadvertently, would it be possible to make him calm down?

It turns out that this approach works quite well.

That night, after Mi Ping had finished his meal and went out for a walk to digest his food, he realized that he had forgotten to bring water. When he was about to go back to the tent to get it, he suddenly saw Shen Yuelan conjure up fine wine out of thin air and put it on his table through the gap in the tent.

Mi Ping became depressed that night, and then for some unknown reason, he burst into tears, yelling something:

[Your Majesty, the goddess came to the world, but she did not give herself to Chu, but gave herself to the barbarian Qin. Alas! Alas! ! ]

If Shen Yuelan's medical skills were not good enough, the old guy would have cried himself blind. After all this trouble, Shen Yuelan was exhausted.

Fortunately, after crying, this guy finally figured it out and no longer insisted on the difference between Qin and Chu. However, he would occasionally test Shen Yuelan with words, asking her why she didn't visit Chu.

[Why do you think highly of the Qin people? The six states in Shandong are all legitimate, but any one of them is a country of etiquette and culture, better than the rude and unreasonable Qin people who don't keep their word.]

[Each of them has a good family background? Haha, whose territory did Han, Zhao, and Wei share? Was Tian Qi's original surname Tian? How did King Zhao die? Do you really think Yan can succeed? ]

Shen Yuelan's continuous questioning left Mi Ping stunned, but apart from making two excuses for the death of King Zhao of Zhou, he did not refute anything about the other countries.

The seven major powers in the Warring States Period existed for too long. Even the youngest ones, Han, Zhao, and Wei, had a history of nearly two hundred years. No one could guarantee that their ancestors would not cause any trouble.

In fact, even the Qin State had the romantic history of Queen Dowager Xuan, which was circulated among various nations, and the main message was that no one could be clean.

"Strategies of the Warring States: Strategies of Han" records that Queen Dowager Xuan said to Shang Zi: "I served the previous king. The previous king used his thigh to cover my body, but I was tired without feeling exhausted. He placed his entire body on top of me, but I did not feel burdened. Why? Because it was of little benefit to him. 】

(This is what Queen Dowager Xuan said to the envoy when she rejected the request for aid from South Korea. Because it is too pornographic, readers are requested to translate it by themselves.)

In short, this time Mi Ping finally calmed down and followed Shen Yuelan obediently to watch the battle.

However, the old guy was still very rude to Bai Zhong. After all, it was his father who conquered Mi Ping's capital. As the saying goes, a son must pay for his father's debts, so Bai Zhong was not wronged.

But Bai Zhong didn't know the details. Since Mi Ping seemed to be quite talented, Bai Zhong wanted to learn something from him. However, as soon as Bai Zhong said it, he was rejected by Mi Ping, which made Bai Zhong feel very aggrieved.

Although Bai Zhong looked pitiful, Shen Yuelan did not intend to say anything to help him. Bai Zhong and Mi Ping should not have met, so how could they be master and apprentice? If they really got together, that would be bad news.

But unexpectedly, Bai Zhong was also a stubborn person. He thought that his sincerity was not enough and he failed to impress Mi Ping, so he squatted outside Mi Ping's tent every day, trying to make Mi Ping accept him subtly by taking care of his daily life.

But Mi Ping was not willing to do it. He didn't immediately take the big knife and chop the boy to pieces. It was already considered very cultured. He still wanted him to teach him? No way.

What's more, although the queen didn't say it directly, from her expression, she didn't quite agree with me teaching Bai Zhong, and even had a hint of opposition in her expression. That meant that my choice was correct, I would not teach, and I would definitely not teach.

Bai Zhong was depressed about this for a long time. Shen Yuelan looked at the depressed look of the little guy, stuffed a piece of maltose into her mouth, thought for a while, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, and she thought of a suitable candidate.

Shen Yuelan turned her attention to Zhang Ruo, who was still struggling on the front line. Although the old county magistrate was not very good at fighting, he was very good at dealing with people and protecting himself, and he had made achievements in civil affairs, which were exactly what Bai Zhong needed.

Therefore, not long after, Zhang Ruo gained a cheap disciple. Bai Qi (played by Su Yi) personally brought Bai Zhong to worship him as his master. Wu Anjun came to visit him in person, so Zhang Ruo naturally had no reason to refuse.

What's more, Bai Zhong is indeed smart, and it will not be a problem for him to become the head of a county in the future. After sending Bai Zhong away, Shen Yuelan and Mi Ping felt a lot more relaxed. After all, with Bai Zhong around, they both had to pretend to be something.

Although Mi Ping is around, Shen Yuelan still needs to pretend, but at least she doesn't have to pretend to be a good sister anymore. It's not easy to be a smooth-talking person. Shen Yuelan can't stand being smooth-talking with two parties and feels that she can't be such a person.

More than a month passed. Shen Yuelan and others stood on the top of a distant mountain, overlooking the war-torn Wujun City, trying to see a glimmer of hope for victory. Zhang Ruo was a little slow, which caused Xianyang to start urging progress.

It seems that the food and grass are running out. Shen Yuelan calculated the time and found that the army has been staying here for more than half a year. Even if there are more food and grass in Shu, they cannot withstand such a waste.

Having said that, it was somewhat difficult for Shen Yuelan to break through Wujun City immediately. Before she could learn the Bai family's family knowledge, Bai Qi died. Therefore, in a sense, Shen Yuelan was not as good as Zhang Ruo.

Su Xin and Su Yi did have some practical experience, but that was experience in street fighting. They were a little scared of siege warfare, so no one dared to easily predict the chances of victory. Instead, Mi Ping looked like he was in charge of the country.

[Haha, the commander of the Qin army is Zhang Ruo, the governor of Shu. Hum, this old man played a good hand of cards badly. If I were the commander of the Chu army, I would kill him in a minute.]

[It’s a pity that Qu Yuan is dead, Qu Yuan is dead! ]

Shen Yuelan rolled her eyes when she heard that. You yourself know your own situation. After despising Mi Ping, Shen Yuelan turned her gaze back to the battlefield.

Even if Mi Ping had the ability to command, he would never help the Qin army attack his own country. It would make no difference whether he was there or not, so Shen Yuelan never expected how much help he could provide to her.

But apart from this, what other cards could she play? Just when Shen Yuelan was at a loss, she suddenly heard good news from the Time Management Bureau.

[Captain Shen, the revision of Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an, has been completed. We can return to the Warring States Period in the near future. Please make relevant preparations.]

Shen Yuelan let out a long breath when she heard that. This was truly the best news she had heard recently. She had been exhausted by this unfortunate war, and now she could finally get out of it.

Preparations? It seems that I have to plan the plot of my own death in battle first. As for Huanyan and Suxin, they can be [killed] now, just in time to take Mi Ping away, so that he and Bai Qi, their enemy, will not be jealous of each other when they meet.

Chapter 128 Queen Qi Xiang

It has to be said that Mi Ping, after calming down, is a very wise man. If he were an enemy or an opposite, he would still be quite disgusting. At this moment, he was looking at the Qin and Chu parties who were fighting with a gloomy look.

From the desperate fight he made when he first entered the Qin camp to the calm observation of the battle between the two armies now, no one knows what kind of mental journey and painful struggle Mi Ping has gone through.

Shen Yuelan's actions may seem ordinary, but in Mi Ping's eyes, they are the abilities of gods. In the Warring States Period when mythology was still strong, this action was more shocking than any amount of fine wine.

[My lady, I know that the Western Qin is now the only powerful state, and the six states in Shandong are exhausted, but I still want to ask, do we really have no room for maneuver? If the six states work together, we may be able to win! ]

[Joint forces? Have you not joined forces enough? In the third year of King Shenjing of Zhou, the seventeenth year of King Nan of Zhou, and the twenty-eighth year of King Nan of Zhou, there were three joint attacks on Qin. Which of them really reached the city of Xianyang? ]

[Not only did it not have any effect, but it also resulted in repeated casualties. They called it a joint effort, but in reality, they each had their own agenda.]

【The world will eventually unite after a long period of division, and will eventually divide after a long period of unity. China was originally one. You are all vassals of Zhou, and your states have been divided for thousands of years. Now you are divided and unified. This is the general trend. If it is not Western Qin, there will be Eastern Qi and Northern Zhao.】

【There is no Nanchu? 】

Shen Yuelan twitched her lips when she heard this. Okay, okay, I've been talking about this for such a long time, and you only care about this, right? You're such a stubborn guy.

[The people of Jing are romantic, the women of Chu are graceful, the land of Jing is vast, the army of Chu is resolute, the country of Jing and Chu should have the appearance of a great country, but meat-eaters are vulgar, and if the court of Chu is not restored, the people of Jing will never have a chance to rise. ]

Mi Ping was silent for a long time after hearing this. He wanted to refute something, but he felt that what Shen Yuelan said seemed to be correct. If there was no incompetent King of Chu who refused to listen to advice, and no Zheng Xiu who caused chaos in the palace and interfered in state affairs, how could the State of Chu have come to this point?

[Meat-eaters are really despicable! ]

Hearing Mi Ping's words of emotion, Shen Yuelan showed satisfaction. Qu Yuan in history was so patriotic, but what did he get? He should have loved the country of the people of Chu, not the country of the king of Chu.

Shen Yuelan really hopes that Mi Ping can figure this out.

After confirming the exact date of Wu'an Jun's return, Shen Yuelan's group began to take action. They faked a surprise attack by the Chu army and had Su Xin and others [die] one after another in the battle, creating the appearance of their own deaths.

So, Bai Zhong, who was still commanding the war on the front line in Wu County, received sad news one after another not long after. The soldiers who came to report the news said that the marching camp was attacked by enemy soldiers last night and suffered heavy losses.

Old man Mi Ping was beheaded by the enemy because he was too old to escape in time; Huanyan and Suxin, who had been playing with Bai Zhong, were also seriously injured by the enemy in this battle in order to protect Sister Lan. Before four o'clock in the morning, they died one after another due to their serious injuries.

There were even rumors that Sister Lan was also seriously injured and her life or death was uncertain. Bai Zhong was extremely anxious for a while.

I just hate that after I came to my master's side, in order to prove myself, I took on most of the affairs of the siege, and I was unable to get away for a while. Otherwise, I would have rushed back to visit Sister Lan and avenge Sister Huanyan and the others.

For the time being, there was no other way except to break the city as soon as possible. Bai Zhong became ruthless and personally led his men to attack the city. Zhang Ruo couldn't stop him, and the battle situation in Wujun City became more and more tragic.

Looking at Wu County which was about to be breached, Shen Yuelan curled her lips. After holding out for another half a year, the Chu people in the city should be content.

However, that King of Chu was really rubbish. After fighting for such a long time, he refused to send even a single soldier. It was not unfair that the State of Chu was destroyed.

Seeing that the time was up, Shen Yuelan no longer paid attention to the war over there. She took Bai Qi from Shangguan He's hands, quietly sent him back to the big tent, and quietly left the camp with Su Yi a quarter of an hour before Bai Qi woke up.

She left her carefully crafted remains in the camp to confuse the Bai father and son. The body would dissipate on its own after burial and would not leave any trace.

She also left behind a number of Qin Rui soldiers who would provide cover for her in the camp and provide intelligence for her in the days to come.

On the eve of the unification war when Western Qin was dominating the world, Shen Yuelan had to pay attention to every move of the Qin army, so as to avoid falling into the same predicament as at the beginning.

So, Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an, who had just woken up from the big tent, received the tragic news that his adopted daughter had died in battle before he could figure out the situation. Looking at Bai Lan, who was covered in white cloth in the camp, Bai Qi was a little confused for a moment.

After confirming the identity of the body, he took a deep breath and ordered people to carry the body away for burial with an expressionless face.

Bai Qi seemed calm, but a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and the blue veins on his forehead revealed his anger. He drew his sword, led the remaining troops, and rushed towards Wujun City without looking back.

Perhaps, [Man-Slayer] Bai Qi was born at this moment, and all this was the result of the calculation of the Time Management Bureau. It doesn't matter why Bai Qi became [Man-Slayer]. What matters is that he must become [Man-Slayer] at the necessary time.

It doesn’t matter whether Bai Qi has an adopted daughter or not. What matters is whether her existence can become a catalyst for history. This may be too cruel to the Bai father and son, but this is the principle of the Time Administration Bureau.

You can struggle to survive in the cracks of history, but you cannot stop the torrent of history from rolling forward. Those who do so will die.

Looking at the Wujun City caught in the flames of war, Shen Yuelan felt a little depressed. To be honest, Bai Qi and Wei Lan, both of them were very good to her, but they were too close to the whirlpool of history and she could not easily get involved.

There are very few people like Liu E who can seize the opportunity and transcend. It would have been great if Bai Qi was not the Marquis of Wu'an.

Shen Yuelan, feeling a little regretful, was now on her way to the Jixia Academy of Qi State with Mi Ping. They wanted to meet the world-famous Xunzi and see the academic holy land known as the birthplace of the Hundred Schools of Thought.

The Jixia Academy is known as the first true university in world history, the first institution of higher learning with freedom of academic thought and a wide range of disciplines. Almost all cultural trends in China since the Qin Dynasty can be traced back to Jixia Academy.

As the starting point of the first great ideological liberation in Chinese history, Shen Yuelan is still very fascinated by it. Mi Ping also supports Shen Yuelan's decision. As I said, as long as it does not involve the State of Chu, Mi Ping is a very easy-going and elegant person.

During the reign of King Xiang of Qi, Xunzi served as the chief academic officer (senior) of the Jixia Academy three times, which happened to be the time when King Xiang of Qi was in power.

Speaking of King Xiang of Qi, he himself had no ability, and he relied on his queen to govern the country and his family. She was called "Ju Qiu Nu" in history as "Queen Jun". The reason for this name was that she was the daughter of Ju State's Grand Historian Qiu, so she was abbreviated as "Ju Qiu Nu".

During the 19 years of King Xiang of Qi and the 16 years after his son King Gong of Qi ascended the throne, all the major and minor affairs of the State of Qi were handled by the Queen, which is known in history as the Queen's reign.

There was a record about [Queen Jun]:

After the King of Qin sent someone to present a jade ring to the King, the envoy asked, "The people of Qi are so wise, can they untie this ring?"

The king then took out a hammer and smashed it to pieces, thanking the messenger and saying, "It has been solved."

It can be said that Qin had the Queen Dowager Xuan and Qi had the Queen Mother. They were two shining pearls in the political arena in the late Warring States Period. Therefore, Shen Yuelan also wanted to meet this extremely courageous female politician.

Although Shen Huanyan teased this action as being a philanderer, Shen Yuelan touched her nose and continued to do as she pleased. She said indifferently, "It's fine to be a philanderer. Since you're here, what's wrong with collecting stamps?"

She had already met the Queen Dowager Xuan of Qin. Although she was still charming, she had already aged. The Queen Mother of Qi was much younger than her.

The Queen Dowager Xuan of Qin was already in her thirties or forties, while the Queen Mother of Qi was only in her twenties and still a great beauty. Since they had arrived in Qi, it was natural for them to appreciate her.

She didn't do anything stupid, just lay on the roof to take a look and take a photo.
