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

It smells so good, really so good. Each dish has a different aroma, and each dish is rich in collagen. Before King Ping of Zhou moved the capital, if anyone dared to selfishly enjoy a banquet of this scale, they would be guilty of a capital crime!

Ah, there are some cooking methods that she has never tasted before, and there is also the delicious wine! Looking at the golden color and smelling the strong aroma of wine, the wine in this jar is definitely the best of the original puree!

Although the queen was very envious, she was still very sober at the moment. She couldn't figure out what the little girl wanted to do by preparing such a feast. Therefore, she planned to test it first.

[Um, um, what delicious food are you guys making? It smells so good. ]

[Oh, Your Majesty, I don’t call you that. It’s really sad that you still don’t know my name even though we’ve known each other for almost a month. ]

[Please remember, my name is Lan, I don’t have a surname, you can just call me A Lan. ]

[As for this table of food, it is considered as a banquet of ours. It is better to come at the right time than to come early. Since you are here again, please join us. ]

Hearing Shen Yuelan's invitation, the Queen was a little hesitant for a moment, but she thought that there were so many secret guards watching her, and nothing should go wrong, so she agreed, sat down at the table with everyone else, and toasted each other.

After this, the Queen regretted more than once why she was so stupid and insisted on eating those two bites of food, which caused her to fall into Shen Yuelan's trap, and once she fell into this trap, she would be trapped for the rest of her life.

The dishes prepared by Shen Huanyan this time were all Bazhong dishes, which were taught to Shen Huanyan by Professor Mi Yuan when they were in Shu.

Due to limited ingredients, the dishes mainly include mutton and poultry that Shen Yuelan brought from the other world, including Nanjiang yellow sheep with crispy leek skin, Nanjiang yellow sheep chops braised with ginseng, tile-gray chicken with pepper flavor, Huangjing old duck soup, Guanyin and pressed duck, and other famous dishes.

Although there were fewer dishes, the combination with fine wine still made the Queen and Mi Ping eat with relish. Mi Ping was better off, as he often ate meals cooked by Shen Huanyan, so he didn't look that surprised.

But it was different for the queen. There was no particularly outstanding food during the Warring States Period, and the State of Qi was in trouble. Since the queen got married, they hardly saw any meat in a year.

How could she bear such stimulation? If she was not so full that she could not bear it any more, the Queen would even want to eat the crispy lamb whole. Ah, is this heaven? The Queen sighed.

After eating and drinking, it was time for the classic segment of scolding the cook. The Queen began to doubt the purpose of Shen Yuelan's preparation of this [luxurious] feast, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure out why Shen Yuelan did this.

When she left, Shen Yuelan even gave her a pot of raw liquor. This time, the Queen confirmed that it was not fake wine. She was not cheated this time, which made the Queen feel a little uneasy.

For this reason, she frowned all the way back, immersed in her own thoughts, thinking about this problem over and over again, until she was awakened by a wailing that sounded quite desperate.

Who else could the owner of that voice be but her unfortunate husband?

[Ah! My Jun'er, you finally abandoned me. Tell me! Who did it? Who made you so pregnant? I haven't even done it yet! Woohoo!]

The Queen was almost killed by the King of Qi's shout. She was so angry that she picked up a branch on the ground and was about to hit the King of Qi with it. However, she never thought that the bastard had expected it. The person who could choke to death while eating on weekdays was as agile as a fat man at this moment.

[You idiot, what are you talking about all day? I'm just too full. Do you think any man can make a woman pregnant in just one afternoon? Can you do it? ]

The King of Qi howled even more happily upon hearing this. He seized the loophole in the Queen's words and asked sharply:

[In other words, you admit that you had an affair with that little girl? It's just that you didn't get pregnant with her child yet? ]

[Tian Fazhang! Can you understand what I'm saying? I'm a girl! A girl! How could you make me pregnant? There has to be a limit to fooling around!]

The Queen tried to explain to her stupid husband the relationship between her and Shen Yuelan, but she ended up making things worse. Instead, the King of Qi thought there must be something going on between the two of them, which made the King of Qi so angry that he kept crying.

Of course, he was only able to cry out loudly. Tian Fazhang was a good man who respected his wife. He would not lay a hand on the king or queen. The friendship they had forged when they were in trouble could not be easily erased.

However, according to gossip, it is also true that the King of Qi could not defeat the Queen.

Back to the story, the Queen finally managed to calm the King of Qi down after much persuasion and a beating. However, the main reason why the King of Qi calmed down was not because he was subdued by the Queen.

Instead, after a night of intense exercise, the queen had successfully digested the food in her stomach, and her belly returned to its original shape.

In addition, when the King of Qi was being beaten, he thought briefly that if the Queen liked girls, then let her like girls, as long as they were not men who would cuckold him.

The Queen naturally couldn't understand the King of Qi's amazing train of thought. She thought that the King of Qi finally calmed down after she explained it clearly. Looking at the King of Qi covered in bruises, the Queen felt a little distressed, but she couldn't help but feel that this guy was so annoying.

The Queen handed the bottle of good wine that Shen Yuelan gave her to the King of Qi and asked him to have a taste. At first, the King of Qi didn't take it seriously, thinking that the Queen was deceived by Shen Yuelan again, and took back a bottle of inferior wine.

But after tasting it, he found that it was actually real wine, and a top-grade wine at that. Tsk, looking at how stingy Xiao Chu was before, she was willing to take out such a good thing. There must be an affair between these two, right?

【Oh, woman.】

Chapter 137: A Humble Eater

By the time Qi State completed all preparations, it was already midwinter and the time had come to 277 BC. Shen Yuelan couldn't help but feel sad for the work efficiency of the ancients.

In response, the Queen expressed indignation that they had been quite efficient, as the entire operation, from planning to preparation, had only taken five months.

Among these, recruiting talents, forging weapons, and training assassins are all time-consuming tasks. They have been very efficient, okay?

Shen Yuelan took a breath of cold air when she heard that. You are going to pierce your ears right before getting into the sedan chair. By the time you are ready, the opportunity will be gone.

The Queen said with some embarrassment, "Isn't there anything we can do about it?" Most of Qi's warriors died in the war between the Five Kingdoms and Qi, and a group of them were inexplicably lost near Shen Yuelan's home some time ago.

There are not enough people in the palace now, so they have to urgently train a group of people to carry out this task. While speaking, the queen glanced at Shen Yuelan with resentment.

Shen Yuelan glanced away guiltily upon seeing this. She knew the situation was not good and felt that she couldn't continue the topic, so she made up an excuse and awkwardly changed the subject.

Shen Yuelan asked the king, can such a short training period really guarantee the loyalty of these death warriors?

The queen said that it was not a big problem. The assassins guarding the palace were not much better and could just be used as is. The symbolic significance of Qi's action this time was greater. To put it bluntly, it was done for show.

Let others know that the State of Qi has begun to respect wise men and humble people again, and welcomes everyone to come to Qi to be an official and to study in the Jixia Academy. Even if you leave Qi in the future and something happens, Qi will not ignore you.

As for whether Zou Yan can be rescued, it depends entirely on Zou Yan's personal luck. Anyway, my State of Qi has fulfilled its promise to rescue you.

The money has been spent and the person has died, but he cannot be saved. It is purely your bad luck and has nothing to do with our Qi State.

Shen Yuelan was speechless when she heard this. She knew that Qi would not be so generous to rescue people. The king and queen must have some plan in this matter.

But it must be said that Qi's plan was very good. Regardless of success or failure, this move will restore Qi's reputation.

Shen Yuelan had no objection to this. No matter what Qi State wanted to do, as long as the benefits were enough and it did not violate the regulations, she would naturally agree to it.

Her only question now was why the Queen was also in the caravan heading to Yan State? As the mother of a country, why didn't you stay in Qi State and follow us?

Upon hearing this, the Queen looked at Shen Yuelan with an even more resentful look. Do you think she wants to come? Ever since she had dinner at Shen Yuelan's house, nothing tasted good when she returned to the palace.

The food that seemed acceptable before now seemed as hard to swallow as chaff. The queen lost twenty to thirty pounds because of this, and finally had to choose to eat with Shen Yuelan's family.

This move naturally met with protests from the King of Qi, but looking at the Queen's increasingly thin face, the loving King of Qi finally compromised. His only request was that the Queen return to the palace to rest at night.

But with Shen Yuelan and others heading north, this only request seemed impossible to achieve.

In order to appease her husband, the Queen bought five large jars of fine wine on credit from Shen Yuelan before leaving, and sent someone to deliver them to the King of Qi as a sign of appeasement. She herself happily followed the caravan and embarked on the journey to the State of Yan.

[By the way, when are you going to pay me back for those five large jars of raw liquor? My fee is not cheap.]

[Oh, it's just five jars of wine. I'm a little short on money lately because of rescuing Zou Zi. I'll return it to you when I have more money. Why are you in such a hurry?]

[Okay, okay, don't worry, one jar of wine is ten pieces of Jin Ying Yuan, a total of fifty pieces of Jin Ying Yuan, thank you for your patronage. ]

The Queen was extremely shocked by Shen Yuelan's shameless behavior. Although the wine was indeed good, it was not so good that it needed ten pieces of gold to buy it. This guy was definitely asking for an exorbitant price!

[Huh? What kind of nectar is that? Can it be sold for ten pieces of Jin Ying Yuan? Do you think I look like Jin Ying Yuan? I will give myself to you, okay?]

[Haha, it's not the best wine, but my wine is definitely priceless. You can choose to refuse to pay, but I promise that tomorrow there will be another interesting story about selling a wife to buy wine in your Qi State.]

[You have such a bad character that you can even think of such a despicable method. Humph, today you have caught the soft pear. I didn't say I won't give it to you. Just wait. I will give it to you when I have money. I guarantee it with the reputation of Qi.]

[Ah? The reputation of Qi? The reputation of Qi is worthless now. At the very least, you should do as you said just now and pledge yourself to me, right?]

Upon hearing this, the Queen immediately clutched her chest tightly and stared at Shen Yuelan with disdain. Is this guy still intent on stealing? Alas, how could she have taken the initiative to board the pirate ship?

Shen Yuelan looked at the frightened look on the queen's face and immediately became greedy. Hehehe, a woman who is usually unruly and unyielding in front of you suddenly shows a frightened expression in front of you. The idea of bullying her instantly flooded her mind.

Looking at Shen Yuelan's naughty expression, the Queen actually thought this guy was a little cute. Hiss, why did she think so? Oh my God, I don't think I really have a good impression of this guy?

Just when the Queen was doubting her life, a hot breath came from her ear, which scared the Queen so much that she jumped up in the car. She was so embarrassed that her whole body turned red, and she pointed at Shen Yuelan for a long time without being able to speak.

【You…you…you…you shut up! 】

[I... I am a married woman. Even if we love each other, we cannot violate etiquette. You have to restrain yourself. Society is not that easy to get along with. You have to learn to control your desires.]

Shen Yuelan was stunned for a moment when she heard this. They were in love? Oh my god, when did we become in love? How could you slander someone's innocence out of thin air? I just wanted to scare you.

After seeing each other's performance, the two instantly understood each other's situation. Shen Yuelan thought, this guy actually likes me, this...what should I do?

The Queen had a resentful expression on her face. She didn't mean that. She was just acting for the occasion. Oh my God, what did I just say?

[Ah, I am really too embarrassed to face anyone. I really want to find a piece of tofu and pretend to be dead.]

Ever since the Queen [exploded] in front of Shen Yuelan, she has become extremely obedient in front of Shen Yuelan. If Shen Yuelan tells her to go east, she will never go west, and she looks extremely humble.

Sometimes Shen Yuelan couldn't bear it anymore, so she asked Queen Jun, couldn't the relationship between them go back to the way it was before?

The Queen said that she couldn't do it. Her face and dignity had been turned upside down by Shen Yuelan, and she had no dignity left. If she continued to put on airs in front of Shen Yuelan, wouldn't she appear stupid?

It’s better to just be an honest worker.

Chapter 138: First Arrival in Yan

After about three months of arduous journey, the caravan finally passed through Zhao State, bypassed the war zone, and set foot on the land of Yan State.

The reason why it took so long was that the roads in the Warring States Period were full of narrow paths, which were difficult for people to walk on, let alone the goods they were carrying.

Shen Yuelan didn't care much about this. She was looking at the scenery of Yan with great interest. It was May and the forests in the northern Yan had just sprouted new buds, which looked very tender and crisp.

Shen Yuelan really likes the scene of forests everywhere in the Warring States Period. The air in the forest is fresh and pleasant, and there are birds and small animals everywhere among the bushes. The vibrant scene makes Shen Yuelan feel very comfortable when walking in it.

This is in stark contrast to the smoggy city filled with steel and concrete that existed more than two thousand years later.

Even though the forest was full of refugees and robbers, Shen Yuelan still felt that this was a good place. She planned to secretly dig up a few trees and bring them back to decorate her own home before returning to the other world.

[In the small garden, dig and dig, plant small seeds, and bloom small flowers...]

Shen Yuelan, who was humming a song and dreaming about the future, was suddenly attacked by refugees. A stray arrow shot straight into Shen Yuelan's face with a whoosh.

Shen Yuelan was not afraid of this at all, because the arrow had been caught by Shen Huanyan and thrown back fiercely. The moment the arrow shot into the forest, a wailing sound was heard.

Suxin and Suyi were not much behind. They picked up stones on the ground and started throwing them randomly. Almost every stone they threw hit their target. There was no sign of anyone in the forest, but the sound of frogs could be heard. It was very lively.

The Queen was stunned. She really didn't expect that these seemingly weak little girls around Shen Yuelan had such abilities. Apart from anything else, the ability to catch an arrow with one hand was something that even a nine-foot tall man might not be able to do.

But that little girl named Huan, actually managed to stop the flow of water with her forearm which was not even as thick as her own arm. She is truly an extraordinary person. It must be that such a great talent cannot be utilized by our State of Qi. God really does not bless our State of Qi.

Just as the king and queen were sighing, the encounter was still going on. The Qin warriors, who were disguised as members of the convoy, quickly followed up after the counterattack of the Suyi sisters, rushed into the forest, and brought back all the dozens of wailing bandits.

When dealing with these people, Shen Yuelan would usually conduct a screening. If someone had some ability and could leave descendants for future generations, Shen Yuelan would just beat him up and let him go.

But if it was those guys who had no achievements, no descendants, and whose life or death had no impact on history, Shen Yuelan would naturally do whatever was convenient for her, and most of the time she would just kill them.

However, this move was regarded by the king and queen as a failure in managing the household. Since they had already captured him, it would have been fine to sell him as a slave, but Shen Yuelan felt that it would be worse to kill him, as a gentleman could be killed but not humiliated.

As soon as these words were spoken, the bandits who were waiting to be executed turned around and kowtowed to Shen Yuelan solemnly to show their gratitude. Many of them even expressed their willingness to follow him on the spot. "You treat me like a national hero, and I will repay you like a national hero." That's roughly it.

However, Shen Yuelan was in a dilemma because she didn't want so many [natives], but seeing that everyone was so sincere, she didn't want to kill them.

[Ah Jun, can you pay the fief in advance? Give these future nobles a place to live. ]

The Queen rolled her eyes when she heard this. She glanced at the refugees kneeling on the ground, thought about it briefly, and then agreed to Shen Yuelan's request.

[Humph, now you know how to beg me. I have already prepared your fiefdom. It is near my hometown, Judi. We are just waiting for you and I to return to Qi after our mission is accomplished. Then you can move in directly. Just let them go directly.]

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuelan happily rushed to the Queen, kissed her on the cheek to express her gratitude, and then ran to arrange places for these new "little brothers", leaving the Queen alone smiling foolishly in the wind.

If the Queen could have a conversation with King Edward VIII of England, who "loved the country more than the beauty", they would definitely have a lot to talk about. But it's a pity for King Fa Zhang of Qi, who is still waiting for his beloved wife at home.

The robbers in the woods were just one of the many small episodes during Shen Yuelan and others' long journey. Similar things happened more than once, but overall it was quite smooth.

Of course, this is the view of Shen Yuelan and others. The Queen does not think so. They encountered robbers seventy-two times, horse thieves eleven times, and twenty-two black shops along the way. It does not seem to be a smooth journey at all.

In addition, when they passed through Zhao State, they also found that Zhao State seemed to have a tendency to mobilize troops to the east, which made the queen very uneasy. Zhao State seemed to want to play the trick of taking advantage of the conflict between the snipe and the clam.

Most of Qi's territory had already been lost. If Zhao took action, Qi would be completely unable to resist their invasion and could only avoid it. In this way, the northern territory that had just been regained would be lost. It was really a headache.

No matter how distressed the queen was about this matter, it was too late for her to do anything about it. She was already in Yan State and could not make effective decisions for Qi State.

After realizing the reality, the queen could only focus on the present and turn her gaze to Shen Yuelan who was walking in front of her.

Over the past few months, Shen Yuelan has faced various attacks, but she has always remained calm and responded calmly every time. She has fought her way out of this black mountain forest for the king, queen and others.

The king realized belatedly that exchanging a remote fief for such an army working for her was definitely the best investment she had ever made.

But the work of Shen Yuelan and others was limited to this. After they arrived in Jicheng, Shen Yuelan and others no longer participated in Qi's rescue operation. They chose to rent a shop in the city and concentrate on selling fake wine.

The queen, along with her subordinates, found an inconspicuous house to live in, and began to secretly plan how to rescue Zou Yan.

Although the Queen gave in to Shen Yuelan, she was still majestic and had the final say in front of her subordinates.

The king and queen selfishly hoped that this operation would be successful. Reputation was one aspect, but more importantly, Zou Yan was the talent that Qi State urgently needed. Without such a talented person to assist him, nothing would be possible.

Why do you think King Zhao of Yan almost destroyed the State of Qi?

Talents, yes talents! King Zhao of Yan first spread his reputation of being courteous to the wise and humble to scholars, which attracted scholars to rush to Yan, and then Yan became a powerful country. Without talents, nothing would be possible!

Therefore, this operation must succeed!

The Queen also put a lot of effort into this. She even seldom went to Shen Yuelan's house for meals. After all, if someone discovered that there was a connection between the two, the Queen would have no way out.

At this time, the State of Yan had three capitals, namely the upper capital Jicheng, the middle capital Yancheng and the lower capital Wuyangcheng. Among the three capitals, the upper capital Jicheng was the most important, and Zou Yan was now imprisoned here.

After more than 30 years of painstaking development during the reign of King Zhao of Yan, the size of Jicheng was no longer inferior to the capitals of other countries. King Zhao of Yan built the [Golden Terrace] and [Jieshi Palace] here, which attracted scholars from various countries to flock to Yan.
