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

The currency in the Qi and Yan regions was bronze coins shaped like knives. Such coins were collectively called "knife coins". The Yan knife coins were called "Yanming Knife" because the word "Ming" was cast on the blade.

The Qi State's knife coins were called "Qi Fahua" because the blade had the words "Fahua" or "Qi Fahua" cast on it. The Qi State even minted the earliest batch of commemorative coins in China.

Such as the founding commemorative coins [Qi Jianbang Changfahua], the commemorative coins of Qi's conquest of Lai [Jie Mo's Fahua], the commemorative coins of Qi's conquest of Ju [An Yang's Fahua], etc.

It can be said that the State of Qi had figured out the commemorative coin game.

Looking at the currency in her hand that looked like a knife, Shen Yuelan picked out some that looked good and planned to take them back to the other world and put them in her own museum as exhibits.

Just when she was feeling happy, a sinister hand reached for the purse at her waist. Shen Yuelan looked up and saw that it was the king and queen in disguise. Who else could it be?

At this time, the Queen was holding the knife coin that she had snatched back from Shen Yuelan in her arms, and she refused to let go. She looked like a philistine gangster, completely lacking the dignified demeanor she had in the Jixia Academy.

[Um, Queen, the money in your hand seems to be the one I just exchanged. I wonder if you can return it to me? ]

[Your money? It's mine now. You damaged my roof last night. You have to pay me for the repairs. This is only one third of the cost. You have to pay me two thirds more.]

[Also, I am now called Taishi Jun, so don’t call me Queen outside.]

Looking at the righteous king, Shen Yuelan scratched her head. Should I pay him money? I did make a big hole in the roof yesterday, so I should pay him money.

But are the nobles of Qi so petty now? They have to chase after others to ask for money to repair the roof?

[Well, I don't mind paying you back, but I don't have that much money on me right now. Why don't you come back home with me to get it? ]

Upon hearing this, Taishi Jun looked at Shen Yuelan suspiciously for a moment, feeling somewhat doubtful in his heart. How about we talk about it next time?

No, if I let this guy go this time, she might just turn around and run out of the city. There won't be a next time. If she goes, she'll go. How can she rebel in Linzi?

[Okay, you lead the way. I tell you, don't play tricks. Although my Qi State is weak, it is easy to deal with you in Linzi.]

Seeing that he agreed, Shen Yuelan couldn't help but admire this guy's courage. This guy was not afraid that he would sell her. A beauty like her would still be very valuable if sold.

Although the queen is smart, she is a daughter of a noble family after all, and she is still too unguarded. Hehe, maybe I can set up a trap to scare her and take a small revenge.

Just as Shen Yuelan was thinking this, she suddenly discovered that there were a lot of people following her secretly. Tsk, it turns out there are people cleaning up her mess. How boring.

The two soon arrived at the house where Shen Yuelan was temporarily staying. Looking at the three women and one old man in the house, Tai Shijun quickly felt relieved. There was nothing to worry about a group of "old, weak, women and children".

Seeing that someone was watching her, Shen Yuelan didn't want to cause any trouble, so she went back to the house obediently, asked Shen Huanyan for two gold pieces [Ying Yuan], and then turned around to compensate Taishi Jun.

When Taishijun saw Shen Yuelan easily came up with the money, he suddenly realized that he might have met a wealthy woman, although the money she had was still a drop in the bucket for the entire State of Qi.

But no matter how thin a fly's legs are, they are still meat. No matter what, she must buy some land in Qi and leave some money for passing through.

Tai Shijun sorted out his thoughts and began to fool Shen Yuelan.

[Um, Xiaofu… Ugh, this lady is a Chu merchant?]

Chapter 132 Xun Kuang Seeks Medical Treatment

[Um, I guess so. Do you have anything else to say? ]

[Well, you have seen the situation of our Qi State. It is a time when everything is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt. However, it also contains huge business opportunities. ]

[You know, Linzi City was very prosperous before the war. It won't be long before it starts to develop again. If you don't buy some unowned properties and stores now for investment, when will you do it? ]

Shen Yuelan understood what Taishijun meant. He simply wanted her to invest some money in Qi to help Qi recover its losses, but she only had a few dollars. Ah, she had quite a few bronze artifacts, but those things could not be used as money.

And even if you invest, what can you do? Can you take the money away if you make it? Ancient coins are just for fun. If you make too much, you have to spend it. It's so troublesome.

[Sorry, we have no intention of purchasing a property here for the time being. As you can see, there are only a few of us in our caravan, so we are a small business. The cost of doing business here is too high and we cannot afford it.]

[I think you should seek help from someone else. I have already paid you the compensation. There is nothing else to do. Please leave now.]

After Shen Yuelan finished speaking, she was about to raise her hand to send the guest away and ask Taishi Jun to leave. Seeing this, Taishi Jun hurriedly hugged the courtyard door and continued to persuade:

[If it really doesn't work, you can lend me the money. I'll accept the 2% interest.]

Tsk tsk, the real purpose is revealed. Borrowing money is the real purpose of this guy's trip. The temptation of 2% interest is indeed great, but besides the fact that Shen Yuelan really has no money, the current credibility of Qi State is also a problem.

Therefore, even though Taishi Jun said a lot of things, Shen Yuelan still rejected Taishi Jun and sent him out of the yard.

Having been turned down, Taishi Jun stamped her feet in anger. She had grown up and there was nothing she hadn't gotten, whether it was King Xiang or the Queen of Qi.

[Girl, you are great. You have successfully attracted my attention. Just wait. I will get your wealth and even your body!]

Looking at Taishi Jun who left after leaving a declaration of war, Shen Yuelan rubbed her acupoints helplessly. Alas, what was going on?

Shen Yuelan, who was somewhat depressed, closed the door and rudely killed the sentry who was still there. Tsk, this couple really think they are a piece of cake, don’t they? Come on, let’s see who gets who in the end.

Shen Yuelan returned to the house and angrily complained to Shen Huanyan and the others about the Queen's blackmail, but was laughed at by the three guys.

It is said that Shen Yuelan is trying to steal a chicken but ends up losing the rice. I have long advised her not to provoke others. Now, she has gotten stuck and can't get rid of her.

Shen Yuelan smacked her lips and felt something was not quite right. After scratching her head, she decided to put it aside for the time being and wait and see what the king and the people behind them were going to do before making any plans.

Shen Yuelan had calmed down, but the wind did not stop even though the tree wanted to be quiet. That night, the gate of Shen Yuelan's house was knocked on again by a pair of strange guests.

Although Mi Ping was old, he was still a gentleman. He was unwilling to let Shen Yuelan and other women go to open the door in the middle of the night, so the voice that Xun Kuang heard outside the door was an old man's voice.

[Who is here to disturb me? It is late at night. Please go back.]

[Sir, I am Xun Kuang, and I have come to see you with my wife. I know it is inconvenient to meet you at this time, but I really have something important to ask of you, so please be flexible for a moment.]

Mi Ping and Shen Yuelan in the courtyard looked at each other. After getting Shen Yuelan's nod of approval, Mi Ping slowly opened the gate and welcomed Xun Kuang and his wife in.

Xun Kuang's wife was supported by Xun Kuang when she came in. As soon as she entered the yard, Shen Yuelan discovered something wrong. Although this man's body and soul were from the Warring States Period.

But his soul seemed to have traces of traveling through time. Could this be the legendary time traveler who traveled to another era and then successfully ran back on his own?

Shen Yuelan was a little unsure for a moment and could only check the work manual. Hmm, something was not quite right. This person's condition was more like a time travel to the past with a relatively small time span, maybe only about thirty or forty years back.

After traveling to the past, this person stayed there until the time when he was born. The existence of two identical people at the same time formed a paradox, and one of them must disappear.

The reason why this woman is so weak now is that history is trying to correct its mistake and trying to erase this later comer. If left alone, when the original Xun’s wife is born, the woman in the yard will surely die soon.

This is really strange. The place had just undergone a major renovation some time ago, so how come such a weird time traveler suddenly appeared? I'll report it later.

Of course, these details must not be told to Xun Kuang and his wife, but if he does not tell them, how can he explain his wife's illness to Xun Kuang? His wife must now separate from him and can only recover her health after returning to her original time and space.

And he will have to wait alone for more than ten years before he can meet his wife again, otherwise he will end up without a wife. Tsk tsk, Xun Kuang is so pitiful.

Shen Yuelan planned to listen to what Xun Kuang said first, to understand the two people's understanding of the matter, and then think about what she should say.

Mi Ping led the couple to the living room and sat them down. After Shen Huanyan served them tea, Mi Ping went straight to the point and began to ask them the reasons.

[I have long heard of Xunzi's talent. Seeing him today, I find that his reputation is well-deserved. I have long wanted to visit him, but I have been busy with worldly affairs and have not been able to go. I never thought that Xunzi would come to visit me in person tonight. It really brings honor to my humble home.]

【But I don't know why Xunzi came here this time? 】

[Mr., thank you for your praise. Besides, I am not very knowledgeable and I am just showing off my skills in front of you.]

[I came here today for my wife. Sir, you may not believe me, but the first time I saw you and this lady, I knew that you two were noble people who could save my wife and I from danger.]

[Please save my wife. I will do whatever you ask. 】

Upon hearing this, Mi Ping knew that this was beyond his ability, so he stopped talking and gave the main field to Shen Yuelan. Xun Kuang naturally understood the quarrel between the two and knew who he should ask for help.

[I already know the situation of your wife. Please tell me how much you two know about it.]

Shen Yuelan had not said anything before, but when she said this, it seemed as if she was going to make a big splash.

But Xun Kuang thought that there was some water in this statement. What did he mean by "I already know the condition of your wife"? You haven't even seen her yet, but you know the problem? Are you not going to pretend now?

Upon hearing this, Xun Kuang felt somewhat doubtful and wondered if he had found the wrong person.

[Um, my wife's surname is Lan, and she is the sixth child. You can call her Shao Lan. Shao Lan's health has gradually deteriorated in recent years. When we first met, she was still very healthy.]

[But not long after we got married, she suddenly became seriously ill. Kuang searched for famous doctors in all seven countries for her, but no one knew her illness. If you can really cure my wife, Kuang will repay you with gratitude.]

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuelan glanced at Shaolan, and seeing that his eyes were evasive, she knew that Shaolan had not told the truth to Xun Kuang. But judging from Xun Kuang's expression, he was not completely unaware. Tsk tsk, these two people are quite interesting.

Shen Yuelan pulled Shaolan into the inner room in the name of diagnosis, and hinted to Xun Kuang to stay in the guest hall and chat with Mi Ping. Xun Kuang was not angry but happy when he saw this. He naturally knew that his wife was hiding something from him, after all, they had lived together for so many years.

Xun Kuang felt that Shaolan's illness was hidden in the things Shaolan had concealed from him. He wanted to ask about it several times, but was always left unanswered because of Shaolan's silence.

Out of respect for his wife, Xunzi did not force her too much.

He could only try his best to heal Shaolan. As for the answer, Xun Kuang believed that Shaolan would open her heart and tell him in person one day.

And today, he seemed to have found the right person to open this long-sealed heart lock.

Chapter 133 Shao Lan's Confession

[Sit down, tell me how you got here, isn’t it fun to go back in time? ]

Shao Lan, who had just sat down, was suddenly startled when she heard this. She stared at Shen Yuelan hesitantly and thought for a long time. Finally, she seemed to have made up her mind and began to tell Shen Yuelan about her experience.

[It seems that you really know something about my illness, which is why you said this. You are right. I am indeed from the Chu State eighteen years later, and I am a Lanling native.]

[That year, the bloody battle between Qin and Zhao took place in Changping. I was doing business with my father and passed through Changping. We were trapped in the city and could only starve to death. Just when I was lost and desperate, I picked up a Qi coin in the muddy white ground. ]

As Shao Lan spoke, he took out the Qi Fa Hua and placed it in front of Shen Yue Lan. Shen Yue Lan looked at it carefully for a moment, and after confirming that there was a slight fluctuation of spiritual power on it, she continued to listen to Shao Lan:

[When I put the Qi coin in my hand, I was thinking, if I had picked up this money on a normal day, I would definitely be very happy because I could buy some delicious food.]

[But in a situation where the Qin soldiers besieged the city, the city was out of ammunition and food, and the people were so hungry that they began to eat each other, what use was this cold coin? ]

[Oh, God, if you really have mercy on Shao Lan, please take me to a place without war and with abundant food.]

When Shaolan was making a wish, she was suddenly pulled away from the place by the coin in her hand. After a dizzy spell, she really came to a wealthy village. After asking around, she found out that this place was the State of Zhao more than 30 years ago.

In that peaceful village, Shaolan was introduced to Xun Kuang, who was of the same age as her. Not long after, the two got married and became a loving couple.

But the good times did not last long. As time passed, Shao Lan's health deteriorated, and it seemed that the closer she got to a certain point in time, the closer the threat of death became.

To this day, Shaolan still feels the pain of her own early death. Her only regret is that she was unable to give birth to a son or daughter for Xun Kuang.

After listening to Shaolan's story, Shen Yuelan was silent for a long time. Shaolan had to go back. If she continued to stay here, she would surely die. But after going back, it seemed that she would also be dead. She would either starve to death or be eaten by the hungry people in Changping City.

Shen Yuelan was in a dilemma for a moment, not knowing what choice to make to save the couple. After thinking it over again and again, Shen Yuelan finally left the decision to Xun Kuang and his wife.

Shen Yuelan first told Shaolan about the choices and difficulties she would face, and suggested that she confess to Xun Kuang. After getting Shaolan's consent, she called Xun Kuang in, and Shen Yuelan herself stepped aside to leave space for this pair of ill-fated mandarin ducks.

To Xun Kuang's surprise, unlike her past silence, Shao Lan took the initiative to confess to Xun Kuang the secret she had concealed for many years, but what followed was a more difficult choice, whether to stay and wait for death, or let go and face the suffering.

After a brief whisper in the room, there was silence, but Shen Yuelan and others did not disturb them. No one could make a decision easily when faced with such a choice.

There was no conversation that night. When Shen Yuelan saw Xun Kuang again, his black hair had turned white overnight. He looked more than ten years older in an instant. It was truly a cause for sigh.

[My dear friend, please send Shaolan back. I cannot bear to watch her die in front of me. Eighteen years later, I will go to Changping to save her. If I fail to save her, I will die with her in Changping.]

[No, I can definitely save her. I still have plenty of time. Eighteen years is enough for me to plan a lot.]

[My dear friend, I'll leave my wife in my care. ]

After Xun Kuang finished speaking, he turned around and left the house, heading straight for the Jixia Academy. Looking at his resolute back, Shen Yuelan could only give her her blessing silently.

When she turned around, she saw Shaolan leaning against the railing, looking at her in tears and saying goodbye to her silently.

Alas, a hemp rope always breaks at the thinnest part, and misfortune always finds the unfortunate. This fate really likes to play tricks on people.

Shen Yuelan had no hesitation about Shaolan's matter. Every moment Shaolan stayed here, her soul would become weaker, so she had to act sooner.

The people from the Time Management Bureau were soon called over by Shen Yuelan. The person who came was Shangguan Xi who had recovered from her injuries. While making preparations, Shen Yuelan complained to Shangguan Xi about the bad things she had encountered recently.

[Ah Xi, Xunzi said that he saw us in the crowd at first sight and immediately determined that we were the ones who could help him. What's going on? Could it be that the ancients really knew how to read qi? ]

[Haha, they don't know how to predict the future, it's just nonsense made up by the sorcerers.]

[The reason why Xunzi targeted you is that when people from our inner world come to the outer world to perform official duties, they will emit a lighthouse-like effect to the surroundings, guiding those who are lost in time and space to find their way home.]

[You have been in the surface world for decades, so of course you will encounter all kinds of things. This is nothing new, so just accept your fate and work honestly for us. The Time Management Bureau will not treat you unfairly.]

Shen Yuelan twitched her lips when she heard this. Indeed, she was from the Monetary Management Bureau, but recently she seemed to have been working for the Time Management Bureau.

It’s a pity that the director of the Monetary Administration Bureau is my master’s wife, otherwise I don’t know how the unit would deal with me.

The preparations were quickly completed. Shen Yuelan looked at Shaolan, who was about to leave with Shangguan Xi, and didn't know how to comfort her for a moment. After all, the two of them had only been together for less than half a day, and they really didn't know each other very well.

But Shaolan took the initiative to hold a package and walked in front of Shen Yuelan, as if she had something to say to her.

[Your name is Lan, right? I will shamelessly call you Lan. ]

[Alan, I know that this little thing between us has upset you. Anyone who knows about this little thing will feel bad, but I hope Alan will not worry about us. ]

[Because no matter what the result is, it is our own choice and has nothing to do with others. ]

【A Kuang didn't save much money these years to treat my illness, so we have nothing to repay you.】

[Fortunately, when A Kuang was chatting with Mr. Mi yesterday, we heard that you liked his book very much, so we wrote a review for you overnight. Ah, you seemed to want A Kuang's signature on the book? We also wrote it, on the title page. ]

[Some people praised A Kuang's books, while others denigrated them. But in the end, it was great to see that some people really liked A Kuang's works. It was great.]

[I have seen his efforts over the years. Everyone says he is a genius, a great talent, but no one knows how much effort he has put in behind the scenes to achieve his current fame.]

[You don't know how happy Ah Kuang was yesterday when he found out that you liked his works and that his book could save my life. He was so silly, like a child who hadn't grown up yet.]
