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

[I will stay with you until the day you choose to leave. ]

[This is my promise, Shen Huanyan's promise. ]

Chapter 58: The Beautiful Women of Shu

When Shen Yuelan woke up again, it was already the morning of New Year's Day. She lay on her bed, staring blankly at the curtains on the bed, breathing the slightly cold air, her eyes a little swollen and sore after crying.

But the emotions that had been pent up in her heart for a long time had indeed been vented with yesterday's tears. Even at this moment, Shen Yuelan felt a little at a loss because she was no longer oppressed by those negative emotions.

She didn't know whether she should continue to go south to collect the contract money or go back to Tokyo to take a look. Just as Shen Yuelan was thinking about her next destination, there was a sudden movement in the bed.

Shen Yuelan turned over the quilt and saw that it was Huanyan who was kicking the quilt. Shen Yuelan hugged Huanyan again in her arms, wrapped her in the quilt, felt the body temperature of little Huanyan, and sighed softly.

It is better to continue heading south. Including Su Chang, I have already collected five contract coins. There is still one left in Shu, one in Jingxiang, one in Youzhou, one in Jiangnan and one in Damingfu.

I have been struggling to get the one in Shu for such a long time. It would be a pity to give up halfway. After getting it, I will go back to Dongjing City to take a look. It will not be too late to go south to Jingxiang later. The road is easier to travel.

If they really go east along the river, just based on the speed as Li Bai said, "I left Baidi in the morning among colorful clouds, and returned to Jiangling a thousand miles away in one day", let alone myself, these demon sword ladies would all get seasick and lie down, so it is better to take a detour and take the land route.

Shen Yuelan, having calmed down, began to look around the Lizhou City where they were now. It was said that this place had once produced a woman of extraordinary beauty and great powers, the Empress Wu Zhao (zhào) of the Zhou Dynasty, who was later known as the famous Wu Zetian.

Wow, there are so many amazing women in Shu, some of whom are both beautiful and talented. Not to mention Bao Si, but also Wu Zhao, the imperial concubine, and even Liu E, who ruled the country decades later, all had experience of living in Shu in their childhood.

Oh my, how could the Shu women be so charming? They attracted so many heroes?

Shen Yuelan had a vague urge to bow down. Oh, no, it seemed that she had already bowed down to Liu E once. It was such a sin, such a sin. She slapped her head for fear of having wild thoughts.

Shen Yuelan got up from the bed, filled herself with a basin of cold water, washed her face, tried to wake herself up and reduce the swelling. Looking at the pretty girl in the bronze mirror, Shen Yuelan no longer had any ideas. No matter how delicious the food was, one would get tired of it after eating it for more than ten years.

She put on her clothes and planned to go out for a walk. Just as she was about to push open the door, Shen Yuelan suddenly remembered Huanyan's promise yesterday. She tilted her head and smiled wickedly, then pounced on Huanyan who was still curled up in the quilt.

[Wake up, lazy bug, wash up quickly and go shopping with me. ]

[Alas..., but it's so cold outside and the bed is so warm, Huanyan doesn't want to go out, Huanyan wants to continue sleeping. ]

Shen Huanyan, who was woken up by Shen Yuelan, tried to get Shen Yuelan to let her go by acting coquettishly so that she could return to the embrace of the bed.

[But, I clearly heard you promise yesterday that you would always be with me. ]

Shen Yuelan knelt in front of Shen Huanyan's bed with a look of grievance, accusing Huanyan of breaking her promise and abandoning her the next day.

[Ah! Master, please don't misinterpret Huanyan's meaning. You clearly know what I meant yesterday.]

[Huh? Yue Lan doesn’t know. Yue Lan doesn’t understand these things. ]

Shen Yuelan pretended to be an ignorant girl, trying to get away with it.

Although Shen Huanyan really wanted to give this guy a bite at this moment, she softened her heart in the end after finally seeing her master recover.

Her love for her master finally overcame the cold winter. She touched Shen Yuelan's head, got up and dressed neatly. Seeing this, Shen Yuelan immediately ran to the kitchen and brought hot water for Huanyan to wash.

Shen Huanyan was slightly stunned when she saw this. Looking at the red-eyed girl holding a basin of water and smiling foolishly in front of her, Huanyan sighed inwardly, she was still hurt after all.

Shen Yuelan walked out of the room with a smile on her face. Nine out of ten houses in the yard were empty. None of the people who went out yesterday came back, including Mi Yuan.

I don’t know what these people are doing. They are not going to spend the night in some erotic place. In the Song Dynasty, there were also such professions as male prostitutes. Shen Yuelan touched her smooth chin and thought maliciously.

However, except for Mi Yuan, everyone else is free to do whatever they want. As long as no one is killed, I have no right to interfere.

Shen Yuelan, who successfully brought Huanyan out of the house, began to happily stroll around Lizhou City. Because it was the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were really few people on the streets, and even few breakfast shops were open.

Shen Yuelan and the other person searched for a long time before they found a shop that sold steamed cold noodles. After waiting for a while, two bowls of fragrant cold noodles were served to them. Just as they were about to eat, a familiar voice was heard.

[Don’t underestimate this small cold noodle, it has a lot of stories. 】

Shen Yuelan twitched her lips. The cat that had been showing off outside finally came back to eat. She raised her head and saw Mi Yuan. This stupid cat was dirty all over and was staring at the [Steamed Cold Noodles] in Shen Yuelan's hand.

Shen Yuelan sighed softly and had to give up the bowl in her hand, then ordered another one from the store. Looking at Mi Yuan wolfing down the food, Shen Yuelan couldn't help but roll her eyes. She felt as if she was abusing her by the way she ate.

While eating cold noodles, this guy did not forget to explain scientific allusions to Shen Huanyan.

[This steamed cold noodles is also called husband and wife rice cold noodles or empress steamed cold noodles. It is said that it was made by Wu Zhao during the Tang Dynasty Gaozong period, when she was young and her childhood sweetheart Chang Jianfeng were traveling in Hewan, and they experimented with making it in a noodle shop in Hewanchu.]

[Although it is not known whether it is true or not, this cold noodle has indeed been passed down. Along with the cold noodles, there is also the local custom of the Girls' Day, which is the custom of "women swimming in the river on the 23rd day of the first lunar month every year". This custom has continued from the Tang Dynasty to later generations.]

Shen Yuelan smacked her lips when she heard this. Although she also wanted to see what the Girls' Festival in Lizhou was like, it was already the first month of the second year of Zhidao.

They were still some distance away from Chengdu. If they couldn't get to the vicinity of Chengdu before May and intercept the fleeing Li Shun, they would be in trouble.

Therefore, although Shen Yuelan knew that Mi Yuan was beating around the bush and was just speaking to her, the trip could not be delayed that long. What's more, there was more than just Lizhou, a famous historical city, on the Jinniu Road.

[Okay, eat your noodles. After leaving Lizhou City, there are still Jianmen Pass, Mianzhou City, and Chengdu Prefecture. Aren’t these three places enough for you to visit? ]

Mi Yuan had an expression that said "as expected" and spoke with great pride.

[Humph, I knew you would do this, so I mobilized the Yaodaoji sisters to help me collect information from various ancient sites in Lizhou. Oh, I, Mi Yuan, really have foresight. ]

Shen Yuelan twitched her lips and said, "It's New Year's Day, why did all the demon sword girls disappear? It turns out they were sent away by you."

Shen Yuelan secretly apologized to the Yaodaoji sisters in her heart for the casual slander she made when she went out in the morning, and she would bring some delicious food back to them later.

Chapter 59: Angry out of shame

[So you have been doing these things these two days? ]

After taking a mouthful of noodles, Shen Yuelan began to check on the whereabouts of her own female cat. Upon hearing this, Mi Yuan remained calm and narrated her experiences of the past two days in a very calm manner.

This guy has visited all the cave ruins in Lizhou in the past two days, including the cliff carvings of Huangze Temple, the cliff carvings of Thousand Buddha Cliff, and Guanyin Rock.

The main point is to make use of the limited time to do [Special Forces Travel]. Looking at Mi Yuan's black eyes, Shen Yuelan rubbed Mi Yuan's head helplessly, saying that although they were in a hurry to travel, it was not so urgent.

Mi Yuan smiled without saying anything and continued to eat noodles with her head down. Shen Yuelan felt a little guilty for a moment. Did her negative emotions in the recent period of time affect other people?

After finishing her meal, Shen Yuelan packed another sixty portions to take back with her. She estimated that the demon sword princesses would return one after another in the next two days. If there was no food at home by then, they would make a fuss.

By the time the three of them left the cold noodle shop, all the shops in the city had started to open one after another. The three of them continued to wander around Lizhou City to see if there was anything delicious that they could bring back for the demon sword princesses to try.

Mi Yuan said that the tofu in Lizhou was especially delicious, so they went to a newly opened restaurant and bought three tables of [Jianmen Tofu Banquet] to take away, and also bought some [Walnut Crispy Pancakes] and [Meat Toads] to take back.

By the time the three men returned to the yard with their bags, there were already more than twenty demon sword princesses sitting in the yard, crying for food. When they saw the food boxes carried by the three men, they started to pounce on them with bared fangs and claws, like tigers descending from the mountains.

[Okay, okay, hey, don't rush to grab them. I bought two servings, so everyone can have one. You won't go hungry.]

[Ouch, Fu Xi! Stop chewing it, it's my butt! Don't bite it!]

[Oh my, that little bastard kissed me? ]

【Who took off my clothes again? 】

[Don't bite, don't bite, it hurts! It hurts! ]

After distributing the food boxes, Shen Yuelan had three kiss marks on her face alone, and countless more on her neck. Someone ripped open a little bit of her shirt, and she bit her collarbone hard, not to mention other parts of her body.

After the revelry, these bastards huddled in a corner like quails, eating noodles. No one they were asked about was allowed to admit it. Shen Yuelan was so angry that she had no choice but to catch Fu Xi, who was the first to bite, and ask her what they were doing.

But Fu Xi blushed, and hesitated for a long time, but couldn't explain clearly. Finally, Meng Anran couldn't stand it anymore, so she took the initiative to quietly tell Shen Yuelan that they had actually returned last night.

Shen Yuelan was slightly stunned when she heard that. She turned around to look at everyone and found that they had actually been secretly staring at her, but when she looked over, they shrank their necks and looked away.

It turned out that when they came back yesterday, they saw Shen Yuelan crying. Because they were afraid that Shen Yuelan would be embarrassed, they waited outside until Shen Yuelan fell asleep, then slipped back and carried her back to the room.

In the morning, in order to avoid embarrassing Shen Yuelan, they slipped out early. After Shen Yuelan left, they quietly came back to rest, creating the illusion that they had just returned.

The Yaodaoji ladies were actually also caring about Shen Yuelan in their own way. As for the drama just now, it was purely because Fu Xi had started a bad example. When everyone saw her taking advantage of them, they felt that they might also need a bite.

In the end, he ended up in this horrible state. Looking at Fu Xi who looked aggrieved, Shen Yuelan twitched the corners of her mouth and pretended to grab Fu Xi and bite him back.

Fu Xi was so frightened that she ran away holding her bowl. Seeing that she couldn't catch Fu Xi, Shen Yuelan grabbed a demon sword girl at random and bit her back. Anyway, she would bite every one of those guys in the yard.

As a result, all the sword girls in the courtyard suffered. For a while, the small courtyard was filled with laughter. After playing for a while, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Shen Yuelan was lying on the bed, thinking back to the wonderful moments of the day, when she suddenly realized that she had missed a few people. She had caught everyone in the yard, even Mi Yuan and Huan Yan.

So, are there still a few people who haven't returned yet? Shen Yuelan jumped up, picked up Mi Yuan, and went to each room to check the number of people. She smelled something unusual.

After checking all the personnel, they found that three people were missing, namely Xia Longque, Long Yanyue and Xu Hanyue. Mi Yuan panicked when she saw this, and she told Xiao Li that these three people were going to Tufeihe in the south to collect information for her.

Shen Yuelan asked Mi Yuan to stay calm. She asked the captain of the three people, Xuanyuan Minghong, to make a phone call first to see if she could contact the three people. Xuanyuan Minghong did so immediately. She did not realize that the team members did not return in time, so she, as the captain, was also responsible.

[Beep…beep…beep…]

[Hello, is this the captain? ]

Hearing the voice from the other side, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief. Xuanyuan Minghong hurriedly asked about the whereabouts of the three people and why they didn't return to the team immediately?

The three people on the opposite side were quite helpless when they heard this. It turned out that the three of them were entrusted by Mi Yuan to go to Tufeifei together. Fortunately, the journey was quite smooth when they went there, but when they crossed the river on the way back, they encountered turbulence and were stranded on an isolated island in the middle of the river.

If that were all, it wouldn't be a big deal and they would just go back home. The problem was that they met another group of scholars who were also trapped on the island.

During the chat, a young man who seemed to be of high status took a fancy to Xu Hanyue among them and wanted to marry her. Xu Hanyue refused many times, but the other party kept insisting.

Moreover, that person seemed to have some background and was surrounded by many guards. Xu Hanyue and others did not dare to act rashly for fear of ruining Shen Yuelan's mission. At this moment, they were still confronting that group of people on Jiangxin Island.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuelan snatched the work phone from Xuanyuan Minghong's hand in annoyance and told Xu Hanyue and the others.

[What are you afraid of? I, your captain, am very tough. If you dare to tease the girls under my command, I will beat you up. I will beat you up hard. As long as you don't kill me, you can do whatever you want with me. If anything goes wrong, I will take care of it!]

After hearing the cheers of "Long live the captain!!!" from the other end, Shen Yuelan hung up the phone with satisfaction. She turned around and was about to tell Xuanyuan Minghong something.

Suddenly, she found that a large circle of team members had already formed inside and outside the house, and they were all staring at her like crazy. Fu Xi showed her leadership skills and took the lead in shouting, "Long live the captain!"

【Long live the captain! ! 】

【Long live the captain!!!】

【Long live the captain!!!】

Shen Yuelan originally thought that she was showing leadership style just now, but when these guys started to make fun of her, Shen Yuelan's face turned red instantly and she started to get angry and embarrassed.

[Stop talking, stop talking, it’s so embarrassing!! You guys!! ]

Chapter 60: Happy Events Make People Feel Happy

After another round of noise, the courtyard returned to peace. Shen Yuelan lay back on her little bed and fell asleep peacefully. As long as the Demon Sword Princesses were given authority, nothing in this era of cold weapons could threaten them.

Everyone waited for another half a day the next day before Xu Hanyue and others finally arrived. However, their return brought an end to everyone's trip to Shu.

It turned out that the elegant man who fell in love with Xu Hanyue that day was none other than Li Shun, who disguised himself as a scholar and fled eastward with his staff. He originally wanted to go north first, then go east along the river, and escape to Guangzhou to start a new life, but he never expected to run into Xu Hanyue and his group.

Xu Hanyue and the other two had no intention of having any disputes with Li Shun and the others, but Li Shun became lustful. Seeing that Xu Hanyue and the other two were all women and weak, he decided to forcefully marry them.

Who knew that he hit a wall all of a sudden and was beaten into a pulp by Xu Hanyue and the other two. Li Shun, who was furious, immediately took out the contract money in his hand and planned to summon some Qin Rui soldiers to capture these three [vulgar village women].

The three sharp-eyed people naturally saw this scene. They were quite happy. After walking for more than half a year, they didn't expect to find the contract money here. It was really effortless. If they had arrived a step later, wouldn't Li Shun have run away?

Although Li Shun is a demon coin contractor, he is just an ordinary person after all. Before he successfully summons Qin Ruishi, the demon sword princesses have hundreds of ways to deal with him.

Thus, before Li Shun could launch his [divine spell], his spell was interrupted, and the tenuous connection between him and the contract money was severed by Xia Longque's sword. Without the blessing of the contract money, Li Shun instantly looked fifteen or sixteen years older, and his body seemed to be drained away.

Seeing that they had received the contract money and had gotten rid of their anger, Xu Hanyue and the other two stopped tangling with Li Shun and the others and immediately jumped north into the river to reunite with Shen Yuelan and the others. Only Li Shun and his group, who had been beaten to the ground, were left lying there questioning their lives.

After listening to the three people's stories, Shen Yuelan looked at the contract money in her hand and was surprised for a moment. She didn't expect that she got this contract money by such a coincidence.

Shen Yuelan didn't believe that there was no explanation here. It seemed that the bug-like existence of contract money was very much disliked by the outside world. But it didn't matter, as it saved her a lot of time.

There was no need to go to Chengdu Prefecture, so should we go back to Dongjing City, or go east along the river to Jingxiang? Shen Yuelan did not decide the itinerary by herself this time, but began to ask for everyone's opinions.

Mi Yuan told everyone that it was now the second year of Zhidao (996 AD). Three years later, in the second year of Xianping, Liao and Song would begin frequent attacks that would last for about five years, and in this war they would reach the "Chanyuan Alliance", ending the two countries' twenty-five-year state of war.

Therefore, Mi Yuan suggested to everyone that if they wanted to avoid the war, they could continue searching for the remaining two contract coins in the south in the three years before the war began, and the two in Daming Prefecture and Youzhou could be searched a little later.

He could return to Tokyo to rest for a few years, or linger in the Qinhuai area of Jiangnan. After the war was over, he could head north to get the remaining two contract coins.

Of course, if the contract money was really so unwelcome, perhaps during the two years of rest, the two contract moneys in the north would have been obtained inexplicably like Li Shun's.

Most people agreed with Mi Yuan's plan, and Shen Yuelan had nothing to object to. After all, plans are plans and practice is practice. She had planned her trip to Shu so many times, but none of them had been successfully implemented.

Therefore, Mi Yuan's overall plan was successfully passed. As for how to go to Jingxiang, although Shen Yuelan recommended turning back from the Shu Road, the demon sword girls were all landlubbers who were not afraid of tigers like newborn calves. They really wanted to experience the thrill of traveling rapidly.

Of course, maybe they were tired from walking on the mountain roads for the past few months, so they wanted to change to a mode of transportation that didn't involve walking. Shen Yuelan didn't object. If they wanted to take the water route, then they could take the water route.

Anyway, just don't complain when the time comes. In early spring, the water is very cold, and sailing on the water is not easy. However, seeing Xu Hanyue and the others swimming in the river, they didn't seem to be in any trouble, I think Yaodao Ji should not be afraid of this.

Therefore, Shen Yuelan no longer worried about this matter. Anyway, she could still feast her eyes on the beauty coming out of the bath, so why should she object?

Finally, the route everyone agreed on was to go south along the Jialing River from Lizhou to Yuzhou, and then go east along the river from Yuzhou to Jingxiang. This way, the entire journey would be by water, which was considered smooth sailing.

Because the trip to Chengdu was cancelled, Shen Yuelan was not in such a hurry, so she gave everyone a half-month vacation, planning to celebrate the [Daughter's Day] in Lizhou before setting off again.

Seeing this, Mi Yuan decided to go on another [Special Forces Tour]. She found a few demon sword ladies who also wanted to visit Chengdu Prefecture, and headed south to Chengdu Prefecture in the afternoon, completely ignoring her scary dark circles under her eyes.

Shen Yuelan looked at the little ones with their bags wrapped around them and told them helplessly that they didn't have to go back to Lizhou after arriving in Chengdu Prefecture. They could just go south along the Minjiang River, enter the river at Rongzhou (Yibin), and then go to Yuzhou.

The main force will set out around the end of the month and should be able to reach Yuzhou in about a month. They will wait for Mi Yuan and her group in Yuzhou to join them. After Mi Yuan knew about this, she waved her hand and set off with her small team.

Shen Yuelan looked at the backs of the people walking away and curled her lips. What a cat master, he just likes to run around everywhere. But this is his freedom.

During the next few days of vacation, Shen Yuelan had a very comfortable time. After all, one feels refreshed when something good happens. The so-called happy thing was that Su Shang finally woke up.
