[Yes, I was doing business here at that time and had the opportunity to see the emperor. And by some strange coincidence, I was able to retain my memory. Therefore, I still remember the majesty of the lord back then.]

[So that's how it is. It can be traced back to this point. It's really one wrong step, and then there are all the wrong steps.]

[Miss, I have a list of people who left Qi at about the same time as me. I have collected them secretly over the years. I am presenting it to you today to repay the kindness of Lord Mi Ping.]

Shen Yuelan took the list from Lu Buwei, looked at the names on it, and couldn't help but sigh:

[You old fool, I didn't expect to receive your legacy here. You are such a worrywart. You have been dead for so many years, but you still worry about me. ]

When Shen Yuelan came back to her senses, she took a close look at Lu Buwei who was sitting below her. This guy was a man who could do great things. It would be a pity to kill him like this. It would be better to recruit him for her own use. Her own power would become stronger and stronger. Su Xuan alone might not be able to handle it.

[Okay, I know about this matter. You can go down first. Don't worry about life and death. Since you are an old man from Wuyang, you are my old minister. I have important tasks to entrust to you.]

[Yes, thank you for not killing me.]

Chapter 217 Bai Qi's Last Words

Glancing at Lu Buwei who was running away happily, Shen Yuelan suddenly had a vicious idea.

Normally, there shouldn't be two identical people in the same time and space. If you want to bring two people back, you must let them make a certain degree of separation from their previous lives. It would be easy to just ask them to change their names and hairstyles.

But Shen Yuelan felt that they could go a step further, for example, transform these two alien souls into beautiful enchanting girls. Hiss, this idea seemed quite good.

And this way we can avoid a lot of problems. After all, it is never good to make trouble with serious historical figures. We have to give them a new vest. Well, that's it.

In this way, she could completely push the task of taking care of Zhao Ji back to Lu Buwei. When she thought of Lu Buwei's resentful look when he spent a hundred gold coins to hire her to take care of Zhao Ji and still didn't get paid, Shen Yuelan wanted to laugh.

Well, I do have the potential to be an entrepreneur.

Just when Shen Yuelan was in a good mood, Huanyan suddenly sent an uninvited guest. The visitor was named Guo Kai, yes, the Guo Kai who pulled his trouser pocket.

[Huanyan, what's going on? Isn't Zhao already gone? Why is this guy still here? ]

[Master, as the saying goes, good people don't live long, but evil people last for thousands of years. Our Master Guo is not a good person. ]

Looking at Guo Kai kneeling in the hall, the two smiled at each other. Shen Yuelan did not intend to spare his life. As the culprit who indirectly led to the demise of the State of Zhao, Shen Yuelan felt that she could not afford to support him.

Guo Kai seemed to be aware of Shen Yuelan's displeasure. He turned his head frantically, trying to find his own value. Suddenly, this treacherous guy seemed to have thought of something. He straightened his back and loudly defended himself:

[Greetings, Master. Master, you cannot kill Kai. Kai is a loyal minister of Lan Sect. Kai has made contributions to Lan Sect. Kai has shed blood for the sect. Kai has eliminated harm for the world.]

[Oh? Where does this come from? ]

[Master, as the saying goes, a man who knows the current situation is a hero. After seeing the general trend of the world, I resolutely abandoned the dark and joined the light, abandoned the six countries, and joined your army. I left Zhao and sneaked into Qin to help you get rid of a great threat. ]

[Big harm? ]

[Yes, the great evil, this great evil is Bai Qi! He is the strongest commander of the Qin State. As long as you kill him, you will destroy the Qin State and unify the world without any obstacles. I have discovered this man's weakness.]

[In recent years, Bai Qi seems to have been looking for a girl named Bai Lan. The girl is said to be Bai Qi's adopted daughter, and her life and death are unknown during the expedition against the State of Chu. ]

[It is said that some years ago, someone saw the girl in the suburbs of Xianyang City, so Bai Qi's family has been looking for her all these years. ]

[Kai came up with a plan after hearing this. He fabricated a letter and sent it to the Bai family, telling Bai Qi that the girl was in the hands of the Lan Cult. If he wanted to save the girl's life, his whole family would have to commit suicide, otherwise he would see the girl's body tomorrow.]

[It was just an unintentional act, but I didn't expect that girl was so important to the Bai family. The Bai family actually committed suicide collectively that day. Hahaha, it's true that you plant flowers with care but they don't bloom, but you plant willows by accident and they grow into a shade. Master, did you do anything to help? ]

Guo Kai was standing in front of the prince and talking freely, totally unaware of Shen Yuelan's dark face. Huan Yan, who was standing by, certainly noticed this, but how could she possibly consider the issue from Guo Kai's perspective?

In fact, she had already begun sharpening her knife, because the pent-up anger in Shen Yuelan's heart had already spread to her heart. Guo Kai was doomed!

[Enough! ! ]

[Guo Kai, you are very nice. Your guess is quite correct. That girl is indeed in the Lan Sect. Then guess again, why is this sect called the Lan Sect?]

[Why is it called Lanjiao? What else could it be? Because...]

Guo Kai stopped talking halfway. His mind finally opened up at this moment and he suddenly understood the connection. The female leader in front of him was probably the adopted daughter of the Bai family that he had fabricated.

What did I just do in front of her? Ah, showing off how I killed her adoptive father's family. Hiss, isn't that the end of my life?

Shen Yuelan really didn't intend to let him live. She didn't give Guo Kai another chance to explain, but directly ordered Huanyan to send this bastard to Du Juan. Guo Kai had to suffer both mental and physical torture before he could die! !

Shen Yuelan was very angry about the matter of Guo Kai. The more she thought about it, the more puzzled she felt. As a veteran who had fought in many battles, how could Bai Qi believe the nonsense in an anonymous letter?

Shen Yuelan opened the suicide note with some frustration. She wanted to know what happened at that time to make a generation of "human butcher" make such a judgment.

【Lan Er:

I'm glad you're still alive. You must be confused as to why I wanted to commit suicide with my family. Was it because I believed the lies in that threatening letter?

In terms of results, we did have such considerations, but this was only a small part of the reason. The main reason was that my memory had been restored, the memory of that other world.

In fact, after returning from the expedition to Chu, I have always had this feeling. I found that my home was full of disharmony, as if something had been interrupted for a while.

But all the memories are so seamless that there is no flaw, which makes me puzzled. During this period of time, your existence, Lan'er, occupies a large part of it, which makes me begin to doubt whether there is really a person named Bai Lan in this world.

But your mother and brother always insisted on your existence. They had been with you day and night for more than a year, so naturally they would not forget you.

But I am different. I had actually died when I returned to Xianyang, right? It was you who asked someone to resurrect me, which took about a year. That’s why I felt so uncomfortable when I returned to Xianyang.

You must be wondering what happened that led to the recovery of my memories that should not have been recovered. As a father, I am not sure of the specific reason, but it should be two years after you left home. Perhaps you will know the reason.

To sum up, as a father, I have gained memories and knowledge that I should not have, and therefore I have noticed that something strange is happening in the world. How can I describe that feeling?

It's as if I've been abandoned by the world, and am being thrown further and further away. It seems that only death can bring me freedom.

Although I am not clear about the details, combined with the magical things that have happened in this world in recent years, I suddenly feel that I should commit suicide, or must commit suicide. This is not my motherland, the real Qin is calling me.

Considering the letter, I feel that this is feasible. Even if my guess is wrong, at least your life can be saved.

So Lan'er, you don't have to feel sad for us, and don't blame yourself. I know you are special, and I also have a destiny. This is our choice.

Alas, I am really grateful for your care for the mother and son over the years. Without your secret help, it is hard to say whether Bai Zhong could live to adulthood.

The only thing I regret in this life is that I don't know why you faked your death and left. Was it because I didn't do a good enough job? Ah, you died not long after I recognized you. It seems that this is really not good.

Let’s not talk about this anymore. In fact, your brother once saw you from afar in the suburbs of Xianyang City, but he didn’t disturb you because he thought you were smiling very happily. Perhaps that kind of life is what you expect.

But as a father I cannot give you that kind of life, I'm very sorry, so all we can do is let go. As long as you can be happy, we will be fine. If there is a chance, I hope you will still be my child.

God bless, I hope Lan'er will have the chance to see this letter.

Bai Qi's last work. 】

Chapter 218 Anyone Can Take a Bite

After reading Bai Qi's letter, Shen Yuelan roughly figured out what happened. It was probably because the king and queen had made too many omissions back then, not only missing out Lu Buwei and others, but also affecting Bai Qi who had just been resurrected.

Although Bai Qi's family did not cause her any trouble because of this incident, Shen Yuelan was still very unhappy. Everything that happened recently was the sequelae of that incident. Who knows what will pop up one day.

I have to say that the Time Management Bureau's performance was very poor that time. I must make a complaint someday. After understanding the inside story, Shen Yuelan felt a little relieved, but Guo Kai still had to die.

After all, a troublemaker is always a troublemaker wherever he goes, so it’s better not to let him live and harm others.

[Master, are you feeling better? ]

[Well, the guilt has lessened a bit. What's wrong? Do you have any other business to deal with today? ]

[Yes, yes, Sister Du Juan just sent back a battle report. Qi was conquered by her. You can go there when you have time.]

[Hmm? Let me guess, this guy must have met a tough guy and she couldn't handle him, so she asked me to come over.]

[You guessed it right, Master, but there is no reward. It was the Queen. She insisted on seeing you. According to Sister Dujuan's description, she behaved quite strangely and kept saying some inexplicable things.]

[Strange words? What does it mean? What did she say? ]

[The Queen said that she remembered everything that happened before clearly. Although she did something wrong, you can't just abandon her like this. You killed her once, and now you want to kill her again. You can't play it like this.]

Following the same logic, Shen Yuelan had figured out what was going on on her own. It was probably because the Time Management Bureau had failed to clean up the mess.

[Um, can I not go to see her? Just let Du Juan send her off. I'm a little scared of her. The Queen is pretty scary when she goes crazy.]

[Well, it's not impossible, but I suggest you go and have a look. After all, according to calculations, this guy is already qualified to be a civil servant in the other world. He can start work immediately after his death, and he will be employed by the Monetary Administration.]

[In order to avoid future troubles, I think you should go and appease her in advance. ]

[But…but this is a branch history. Shouldn’t the one who becomes a civil servant in the other world be a queen in normal history? What does this have to do with the branch history?]

[Ah, I have inquired about this issue. In fact, Master, the reason why we found so many problems in the branch history is actually related to the characteristics of the branch history itself.]

[It is equivalent to the diseased cells in the human body. It is a combination of all the problems hidden in the body, big or small, that the main body throws here through the opportunity of splitting branches. The original history is equivalent to a historical correction.]

[Therefore, the only one who is qualified to become a civil servant in the back world is the queen who was abandoned to the branch line. Because we are the reason why she got the qualification, the queen who was revised cannot become a civil servant in the back world.]

[Tsk, is it us who are the opportunity? Then I am still asking for trouble. Okay, let’s go. Life and death are determined by fate. Huanyan, please don’t miss me too much. ]

【Master, I went with you. 】

【Oh, I see.】

Shen Yuelan hesitated for a long time, but was finally dragged to Linzi City by Shen Huanyan. Looking at the old friend whose appearance had long since faded, Shen Yuelan didn't know what to say for a moment, and it was the Queen who spoke first.

[Originally, I didn't want you to see me like this, but my life is hanging by a thread, so I have no choice but to ask for your help. ]

[You want to live? Live with the memories between us? That is not a very pleasant memory.]

[Ah, yes, maybe it is true for you, but for me, it was the happiest time in my life. Nuclear bombs cannot make me retreat, and death cannot make me forget it, but I am not sure if I can be so lucky next time.]

[Perhaps one day in the future, I will still be able to remember every little bit between us, but the greater possibility is that once I die in the branch history, the bond between you and me will be ruthlessly severed.]

[I will still be a civil servant in the other world, but I won't remember you, so I dare not gamble, and I can't gamble. Please, can you help me? ]

Shen Yuelan looked at the old woman kneeling on the ground begging her, with a complicated look in her eyes. Can the relationship between them really be called love?

[I don't understand the reason for your deep obsession. What happened between us, although not to the point of being enemies of life and death, can also be called a fight to the death. I... can't really feel love from it.]

[Haha, love is something that must be about passion and infatuation? It must be about love between men and women? Why can’t we love and hate each other, and heroes appreciate heroes?]

When Shen Yuelan faced the Queen's question, her mind was a little confused for a moment. According to this guy, her love was quite heroic and grand, but she was petty.

[You really have such a big vision, but have you ever considered my feelings? Have you ever thought about whether I like your kind of love and am really willing to accept your kind of vision? ]

[Love may be a great thing, but my love has always been selfish. I find it hard to accept your broad love. Of course, since you have begged me to this extent, I can't kill you again.]

[I will send you directly to the other world, and you should reflect on yourself there. Can love that is not accepted by your lover really be called love? ]

[Lover? So you admit that we were in love? ]

The king and queen who were kneeling on the ground were almost convinced, but a slip of the tongue by Shen Yuelan made all her previous efforts go to waste. Shen Yuelan was almost in despair. It felt like she had been talking to a deaf ear for all her time because of her own foul mouth.

[I am not, I did not do that, how can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air? ]

[Okay, okay, you are right. It is my fault. I was too self-righteous before and did not consider your feelings.]

[I will change, I will change immediately, I will listen to you, I will go back to the other world to work hard and save up my dowry, I will come to marry you when I have saved enough, don't worry, I will definitely work hard to become someone worthy of you! ]

After saying that, without waiting for Shen Yuelan to answer, she quickly stood up and left. The agile speed at which she stood up did not seem like that of a lady in her forties or fifties. Hiss, why did she feel like she was being tricked again?

Shen Huanyan, who was watching the development of the situation on the side, looked up at the sky speechlessly. Alas, what can she do about her master's EQ? Anyone can take a bite.

Chapter 219 The Wheel of History

In the end, the Queen left with her memories as she wished. Before leaving, she pestered Shen Yuelan to give her a new name. Shen Yuelan had no choice but to give her the name of Clivia.

The reason why the name Clivia was chosen is because Shen Yuelan hopes that the queen's future life will be like that of a modest gentleman, with a quiet, simple and elegant character and a tenacious, elegant demeanor, rather than a yandere temperament.

After getting rid of this troublemaker, Shen Yuelan had completed 80% of her mission. Now there was only the State of Chu left, trembling in the south.

Shen Yuelan was both familiar and unfamiliar with this country. She said familiar because the first place she visited was Yingdu, the old capital of the Chu State, and she also fought a war in Wu County for half a year.

The reason why I say it is unfamiliar is that Shen Yuelan has never lived in the land under the rule of the Chu State. She has seen many Chu people, but they have either passed away or are not in the Chu State at all, so Shen Yuelan has no interest in that place.

So they planned to let Du Juan wipe out the situation as soon as possible, but to Shen Yuelan's surprise, the resistance of the Chu people was extremely fierce. Although their army was already at the level of Gui Bo, they were still blocked by the Chu army outside the capital Chen Ying and could not advance at all.

Shen Yuelan had to increase the stakes again and transferred his Qin army to attack from both sides, which broke the defense line of the capital of the Chu army. King Qingxiang of Chu committed suicide, and his son King Kaolie of Chu succeeded to the throne. They fled south to Shouchun (Shou County) to continue the resistance.

Shen Yuelan looked at the ghost army that had only half of its troops left, and could not help but sigh at the bravery of the Chu people. No wonder even a famous general like Wang Jian needed 600,000 troops to defeat them. They were really a tough nut to crack.

But no matter how difficult it is, Shen Yuelan has to defeat him, because the Time Management Bureau doesn't leave her much time.

[Du Juan, promote your subordinates to ghost kings. No more procrastination. You must personally take action and destroy the Chu State! ]

[Okay, just wait and see.]

After getting permission to be promoted to Ghost King, Dujuan immediately became excited. Although the ghost soldiers at the Ghost Lord level had begun to resemble humans and looked much better, they still did not meet the standards Dujuan wanted. What she wanted was a beautiful woman, not a female ghost.

After several days of fighting, Dujuan finally succeeded in capturing two beautiful ghost kings. She could have created another one, but that part of her force was consumed in the attack on the State of Chu, and the third one died in her womb.

Although it is not impossible to force it out, it would affect the quality of the first two. After careful consideration, Dujuan gave up the plan. Two is enough. If she eats more ghosts and replenishes nutrition, they will look better.

Du Juan's two maids were named Du You and Du Ling. They were both graceful and elegant ladies from noble families. The reason they looked like that was because Du Juan became obsessed with ancient romance novels during the selection days.

As the saying goes, what the superiors like, the subordinates will like even more. The ghosts all sculpted the figures and looks according to Du Juan's preferences at the time. So these two, judging from their looks alone, are first-class beauties.

Moreover, they are proficient in all kinds of talents and can handle both housework and cooking. It can be said that it is a very happy thing to be their teammates and superiors.

But on the other hand, being their enemy was also very terrifying. How could the two ghosts who could survive the fight among millions of ghosts be good people? In Shen Yuelan's opinion, these two little beauties could at least be regarded as invincible in the same level.
