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

This little guy has recently fallen in love and has been showing his affection to Shen Yuelan. As long as Shen Yuelan looks at him, he will immediately assume a martial arts posture and start practicing, trying to get Shen Yuelan's attention in this way.

Wei Lan could not see what his son was thinking, because the Qin State was relatively open-minded in this regard, so Wei Lan did not stop him, but did not support him either.

After all, Shen Yuelan is Bai Zhong's adopted sister, and it's not nice to tell others that they are together. But if Bai Zhong really pursues Shen Yuelan, that's his ability. As Bai Zhong's mother, Wei Lan will definitely support him at that time.

Having said that, Shen Yuelan would never agree to this. She doesn't like it. If Bai Zhong was a woman, Shen Yuelan might consider it.

Speaking of which, according to the Zhou Li regulations, the normal marriage age for men and women is [men should marry at 30 and women should marry at 20]. This marriage age is very scientific and reasonable even in modern times.

However, during the Warring States Period, rituals and music were in chaos, wars were frequent among countries, and there was an urgent need to replenish the population. Therefore, the originally reasonable marriage age was adjusted by the various vassal states to [men get married at the age of 20, and women get married at the age of 15].

After this, the marriage age of ancient people continued to decline, constantly breaking the lower limit, from thirteen or fourteen years old in the Han Dynasty to eight or nine years old in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and in the later period there was even the phenomenon of arranged marriages.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, this lower limit briefly rose again, but was soon lowered again by his unworthy descendant Li Longji, and it became the marriage age of [men should marry at 15 and women at 13].

The dynasties after Li Tang basically jumped back and forth on this basis, until modern times, when the system returned to that of marriage being allowed at least 20 years old.

According to the customs of the Warring States Period, Shen Yuelan is now of marriageable age (in appearance) and is a daughter who can be married off. If it is any later, she will become an old maid.

For this reason, Wei Lan discussed this matter with Shen Yuelan more than once, attempting to find a good family for Shen Yuelan and marry her off in a grand manner.

[Alan, it's a pity that you came to Qin. If you went to Wuyue, and you still haven't married at this age, we as your parents will be guilty.]

[Alan, if you have a boyfriend you like, just tell me and I will mediate for you. You are not a child anymore, you can’t delay the marriage any longer.]

What could Shen Yuelan say? Was Wei Lan's words unscientific? He was telling her these things for her own good, and Shen Yuelan was actually grateful for that.

But Shen Yuelan couldn't really get married, so she could only talk about the Zhou rites, saying that she was from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and that marriage had to follow the Zhou rites and couldn't be too casual. This bought her some time to get away with it.

This incident also reminded Shen Yuelan that her appearance would not change. In the Warring States Period, there were no more Taoist temples that could keep her away from the mundane world.

Although the Bai family is good, he cannot stay here for long. He can stay for three years at most, and then he will have to find another place. As for the people who can be considered detached from the world during the Warring States Period, perhaps the only ones are the Hundred Schools of Thought.

There may have been thousands of schools of thought during the 450-year history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. But only 189 of them left their names in history. Only a few dozen of them were widely spread and had a great influence, but they were the most famous.

In the end, only twelve schools successfully developed into schools, namely Confucianism, Legalism, Taoism, Mohism, Yin-Yang School, School of Names, Miscellaneous School, Agricultural School, Novelist, Diplomat, Military Strategist, and Medical School.

Among these schools, Shen Yuelan could only choose Taoism, Yin-Yang School and Medicine School. The reason why she gave up other schools was that they were all schools that actively participated in the world, which did not meet Shen Yuelan's requirement of hiding in the city.

Chapter 124: Qin Capital Xianyang

Taoism emphasizes governing by doing nothing, and its disciples rarely enter the secular world, or in other words, in a time of great contention, they are not well received by the major vassal states, so they can just sit there doing nothing on weekdays;

The reason why Shen Yuelan is a doctor is that she knows some medical skills, which can be used to sell favors when necessary. Here, she should thank Sister Yuelong for her friendship and teaching, which gave Shen Yuelan an additional skill to make a living;

The Yin-Yang School is an excuse Shen Yuelan used to ensure her immortality and eternal youth. As for the Yin-Yang magic, it is very mysterious. When asked, the answer is "What the hell do you know about Yin-Yang magic?"

Speaking of Sister Yuelong, she should still be handling official business in the captain's office at this moment. After the Battle of Bianliang ended, she happily returned to the other world. She had planned to stay at home and take a break without telling Shen Yuelan, but was reported by that bad friend from Ning Chen Pavilion.

Then Shen Yuelan failed to break into the house and conscripted them into the army. Shen Yuelan then happily ran to the Warring States Period to complete the mission. However, it cannot be said that she had betrayed Gan Yuelong.

I even gave her more than a dozen jars of fine wine. Sister Yuelong was so happy at the time. She patted her tall chest and assured Shen Yuelan:

[Don't worry, Yue Lan, just go and carry out the mission, and leave the team to me.]

Shen Yuelan had no doubts about Gan Yuelong's work ability. You could question Gan Yuelong's character and her fighting ability, but you could never question her work ability. The speed of processing a document in three seconds was nothing to joke about.

After dealing with the incident of urging her to get married, Shen Yuelan lived a relatively comfortable life in Xianyang, but there were also some things she was not used to. Compared with the Bianliang City in the Northern Song Dynasty, the management of curfews in the Xianyang City during the Warring States Period was very strict.

The residents all lived a healthy schedule of working from sunrise to sunset and resting from sunset. The scene of revelry every night in the Song Dynasty was basically rare in the Warring States Period.

The same is true for the Bai family. They usually go to bed early, which makes it very difficult for Shen Yuelan, who often stays up late, to adapt.

Because the Qin people valued black, the main color in the city was black. The clothes worn by the city residents, from the royal family and nobles to the common people and even the servants, were mostly black.

Therefore, Shen Yuelan can no longer wear many of her brightly colored clothes. Even if you wear something white, you will be particularly conspicuous standing on the street.

The layout of the buildings in the city was also different from that in the Song Dynasty. The main buildings in Xianyang City were the palaces of the King of Qin, not residential areas. Only in the southwest were there handicraft workshops, residential areas and markets where the people of the city lived and worked.

In other words, Xianyang City is the Xianyang of the King of Qin, not the Xianyang of the Qin people. This is the biggest difference between the capital layout during the Qin and Han dynasties and after Yecheng of Cao Wei.

Therefore, Shen Yuelan and others had few places to go in Xianyang City. They could only go to specific markets occasionally to take a look. The city walls were not accessible to anyone.

This is because the city wall was an important military location in ancient times. The military layout here involved the life and property of the Qin family, so the management was extremely strict. No one was allowed to approach the city wall without permission.

Of course, these regulations had no effect on Shen Yuelan. She longed for the moon in Qin Shi Ming [The moon in Qin Shi Ming and the pass in Han Shi, the men have not returned from the long march of thousands of miles], so she often climbed up the tower of the city wall to admire the moon, and no one could do anything to her.

The early capital of China was much more boring than Shen Yuelan had imagined, but to be honest, when Shen Yuelan first came to this dark imperial capital, she was quite shocked.

Compared with the dilapidated and declining capital of Chu, the well-equipped capital of Qin was extremely majestic, and its dark city walls were mysterious and solemn.

Shen Yuelan was fascinated by what she saw, and she instantly understood Xiang Yu's mood when he said, "He can be replaced."

However, after entering the city, Shen Yuelan no longer liked Xianyang City, because it was just a city of princes, not the imperial capital of a great country in the ordinary sense. There were places in the city to accommodate the people, but they were not many.

The layout of a city alone can tell whether the ruler of that city has the heart to care for the people. Obviously, although the Qin emperors of all dynasties were wise, they were not really emperors who loved the people.

This is also one of the reasons why the Qin Dynasty's rule collapsed quickly. The Qin people were obedient because they benefited from the expansion.

Under the rule of the Qin Dynasty, the people of the six kingdoms not only lost their country and homeland, but also had to bear extremely heavy labor. They are already full of resentment, and you won't let me live. Who spoiled you? How can a person who doesn't love his people be a king?

Shen Yuelan still likes the Northern Song Dynasty's Bianliang City, with its atmosphere and layout of sharing joy with the people. Although the final outcome of the Northern Song Dynasty was not much better, it was due to the monarch's incompetence and foreign invasion, which was different from the internal collapse of the Qin Dynasty.

Soon, the opportunity for Shen Yuelan and others to leave Xianyang came. In the 277th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin ( BC), King Yingji of Qin ordered Bai Qi to lead his army to attack Chu again. Shen Yuelan was unwilling to stay in Xianyang City, so he also followed the army.

The Qin army's target this time was Wu County, which was still under the control of the Chu State. After the Qin State took it, it could fully connect Nanjun (Yingdu) with the Qin mainland and completely consolidate the victory of the Battle of Yan and Ying.

Shen Yuelan didn't care about it at all. She had already received contact from the Time Management Bureau. They would meet up with Shen Yuelan and others near Wu County and wake Bai Qi up directly in the military camp. Then Shen Yuelan would escape in the name of death in battle.

The status of Bai Qi's family in Qin State is too high now. As the legitimate daughter of the Bai family, her every move in the Bai family will be monitored by all parties, which makes it very inconvenient for Shen Yuelan to do things.

She even heard that King Yingji of Qin wanted to take her into the harem to consolidate the relationship between her and Bai Qi. If she didn't leave now, when would she leave?

After meeting up with Zhang Ruo, the governor of Shuzhong County, Shen Yuelan discovered that there was another person following her. Who else could it be but Bai Zhong? This guy actually followed Shen Yuelan secretly.

After being caught, he still insisted that he did not come for Shen Yuelan, but came here because he wanted to emulate his father and go into battle to kill the enemy.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuelan glanced at the military recruitment list in her hand and sneered.

If Shen Yuelan hadn't had the list of Qin's soldiers for this expedition in her hands, she might have really believed Bai Zhong's lies.

His name was not on the roster at all, and without Bai Qi's consent, the generals under him would never allow Bai Zhong to join the army, so this guy was obviously lying.

But at this point, Shen Yuelan couldn't send him back. She could only wait for Bai Qi to be resurrected with full health before handing this little bastard back to his father.

Before that, Shen Yuelan could only stuff him into her own personal guard team and let her Qin Ruishi take care of him. Normally, Shen Yuelan would also have to inform Wei Lan who was far away in Xianyang.

But the King of Qin was suspicious. Bai Qi had already taken his adopted daughter away on this expedition. If he were to find out that Bai Qi had also taken his own son away, the King of Qin would probably be unable to sleep at night, and Wei Lan would not have an easy time in Xianyang City either.

Shen Yuelan looked at Bai Zhong who was learning martial arts with Qin Ruishi in the distance and sighed helplessly. Bai Zhong was still a child after all, and he had no idea what kind of situation his actions would put his parents in.

All he could do now was to conceal the news as much as possible and not let other people in the army know about Bai Zhong's existence.

But there is no impenetrable wall in this world. It is only a matter of time before the news leaks out. But before Bai Qi wakes up, I have the obligation to protect him.

Shen Yuelan came back to her senses and looked at the pretty girl in front of her. Her name was Shangguan He, and she was Shangguan Xi’s twin sister.

Because Shangguan Xi was seriously injured in the Battle of Bianliang and had been recuperating at home, she was asked to complete this mission on behalf of Shangguan Xi.

Chapter 125: The Qin Dynasty will be destroyed by the Chu State

[Captain Shen, were you listening to me just now? Just hand over Wu Anjun's body and the female assassin to me, and I will take them back to the other world to correct history.]

[Ah, sorry, I was distracted just now. I'm going to leave Wu Anjun's body and the female assassin to you, right? Bai Qi's body is in this painting, and the female assassin is imprisoned in another barracks. I'll send someone to bring her here in a while.]

Shen Yuelan answered Shangguan He's question with an apologetic look on her face and invited her to stay for dinner. Without Wei Lan around, Shen Huanyan could finally show off her skills and cook a good meal.

Shangguan He did not refuse Shen Yuelan's invitation. In fact, it was her first time to come to the Warring States Period. She was curious about everything here, so she begged Shen Yuelan to take her to play nearby.

Shen Yuelan naturally had no reason to refuse, but in fact, there was nothing interesting to see in Wu County during the Warring States Period. Apart from forests and rivers, the natural scenery was nice, the air was fresh, and it was full of vitality.

But the cultural landscape could only be seen after the Qin army conquered Wu County. Therefore, Shen Yuelan had to take Shangguan He for a stroll along the nearby Yangtze River to let her appreciate the wild nature that had not been artificially shaped.

On the bank of the Yangtze River, he took a lot of beautiful photos of her, gave her some good wine, and asked her to express her condolences to Shangguan Xi on his behalf, and then sent Shangguan He away happily.

Shangguan He told Shen Yuelan that this historical revision would take about half a year to complete, and asked Shen Yuelan to persist for another half a year. After thinking for a moment, Shen Yuelan readily agreed.

The history books do not record how long this war lasted, nor do they provide any detailed description of the war. In that case, it will be fine as long as they finish the war this year.

Shen Yuelan planned to make him work for half a year, since he would not be the one to clean up the final mess anyway. Bai Qi, who was still in the underworld, was very disdainful.

The Wu County of the Chu State roughly included the eastern part of Sichuan and the western part of Hubei in later generations, all of which were territories familiar to Shen Yuelan. Looking back thousands of years ago, looking at this area again, the Yangtze River flows eastward, without changing at all, but it has washed away all the heroes in the world.

The Chu city in the distance was under fierce attack from the Qin army. Wu County was not just one city, but a geographical concept composed of multiple cities and villages. Although Shen Yuelan was determined to take advantage of the situation, she couldn't just make no progress at all.

At this moment, the Qin army under Bai Qi (played by Su Yi) is carrying out targeted elimination of the Chu cities in the north of the Yangtze River. Zhang Ruo, the governor of Shuzhong County in the west, is also marching southward, intending to make a fool of the Chu army that is still holding out in Wu County.

The wheel of history rolls forward, ruthlessly crushing all people and things that stand in its way, but there are always a few people who don't believe in it and want to test whether their brains are hard enough.

This was the case with the Chu woman who had successfully killed Bai Qi before. The same was true for the defenders in the city that Shen Yuelan saw. They had been holding out here for a month.

Even though Shen Yuelan had let the enemy off the mark, it was still quite difficult for a garrison of only a thousand people to hold out for so long under the fierce attack of the local Qin army.

But as a practitioner of history, Shen Yuelan does not allow such miracles to continue to exist.

After making sure that the Qin army would pay a heavy price if they continued the attack, Shen Yuelan did not hesitate to replace them with her elite troops. How could the already exhausted Chu army resist such a powerful army?

Soon, the Qin Rui soldiers, who were full of energy, broke into the city. But what surprised Shen Yuelan was that even with the participation of the Qin Rui soldiers, it still took the Qin army three days to completely wipe out the Chu army in the city.

Looking at the Chu army garrison commander who refused to surrender and wanted to die facing east, Bai Zhong who was following Shen Yuelan asked in confusion:

[Sister Lan, why are they still resisting? The King of Chu has already given up on them, and there is no reinforcement at all. Why are they fighting so hard? We won't kill them if they surrender. Isn't it better for them to be alive? ]

Shen Yuelan looked at the Chu people who were calmly going to die, her face full of bitterness. If the Chu army in Yingdu could have half the backbone of these Chu people, the Chu State would not have fallen to this point.

It was obviously the country with the most potential among the seven major powers in the Warring States Period, but it played a good hand of cards badly. It was truly the despicable behavior of a meat-eater.

[Zhong'er, that is their country. They are not fighting for the King of Chu, but for the Chu State, for their families behind them. So what if there are no reinforcements? They will fight to the death.]

【I sigh deeply and wipe away my tears, mourning the hardships of people’s lives; although I like to dress up and wear beautiful clothes, I am always honest and upright in the morning and change in the evening; after replacing me with fragrant herbs, I also use fragrant herbs to pick up fragrant herbs; this is what my heart desires, and I will not regret it even if I die nine times.】

[Zhong'er, remember, this is a poem written by Qu Yuan, a great official of the State of Chu. After the Qin army conquered Yingdu of the State of Chu last year, he drowned himself in the Miluo River and died for his country.]

[He is the same kind of people as the group of people in front of us. They love their motherland more than anything else and will never regret it even if they die nine times. This is the enemy we are facing. ]

Even though there are only three households in Chu, Chu will be the one to destroy Qin. This is not just talk. At the end of the Warring States Period, the only country that had the strength to fight Qin was Chu.

Bai Zhong fell into deep thought upon hearing this. Shen Yuelan stopped talking upon seeing this. Talking to him about these things today had actually crossed the line. The reason why Shen Yuelan dared to say these things to Bai Zhong was because his achievements in history were limited.

In his entire life, he probably only achieved the position of Taiyuan County Magistrate, which is equivalent to a provincial governor in later generations. It is said that Bai Zhong was able to reach such a position thanks to Bai Qi.

According to the "New Book of Tang Dynasty · Table of Hereditary Prime Ministers", "Emperor Qin Shi Huang remembered Bai Qi's merits and appointed his son Bai Zhong as the governor of Taiyuan County." Therefore, the reason why he came to the throne was not glorious. He could only be regarded as a second-generation official who relied on the influence of his father.

But there is also a saying that he inherited Bai Qi's talents and was invincible in battle. This statement is not without basis. If Bai Zhong really had no ability at all, I am afraid he would not have caught the eyes of the First Emperor.

After breaking through the Chu army's defense line along the Yangtze River, the main force of the Qin army crossed the river and headed south to besiege the Wu County seat together with Zhang Ruo, the governor of Shuzhong County who had already surrounded the city. Once the city was captured, the purpose of this expedition would basically be achieved.

However, there are still several months before the time agreed with Shangguan He, and it would be bad to take over this place too early. Therefore, Shen Yuelan asked Bai Qi (played by Su Yi) to hand over the full command of the front line to Zhang Ruo in the name of giving credit.

The old county magistrate Zhang Ruo was born during the reign of King Huiwen of Qin. His greatest achievement in his life was the construction of several historical cities, namely Chengdu, Picheng and Linqiong. His successor was the county magistrate Li Bing, who built the Dujiangyan project.

Therefore, this person is good at civil affairs and a wise man, but he lacks experience in commanding wars. He will not cause the Qin army to be defeated and is a good candidate to delay time.

Chapter 126 The Butterfly Effect

Zhang Ruo was ecstatic when he received the appointment. He thought he was appreciated by Wu'an Jun, so he commanded the troops extra hard. After receiving the appointment, he launched a fierce attack on Wu County for several months, and the city of Wu County was in flames for a while.

But the defenders of Wu County were also a tough nut to crack. Zhang Ruo had been fighting for months but had made no progress. For a moment he began to doubt his life. Shen Yuelan was quite satisfied with this, as this was exactly the effect she wanted.

The night rain in Wushan is cold and bleak. I heard that Qu Yuan jumped into the river around these days last year. Although I have never met him, Shen Yuelan is still full of respect for him.

So Shen Yuelan picked a good day, squatted on the bank of the Yangtze River with a happy face, muttered "Li Sao" and threw rice dumplings into the river, secretly paying tribute to this great patriotic poet.

Although it is not the same river, it is part of the same water system, so I think Qu Yuan could eat it.

Although Shen Yuelan's action was somewhat like aiding the enemy, Qu Yuan was already dead, and it was impossible for him to jump out of the water and kill the Qin army with bamboo slips.

Just as Shen Yuelan was thinking this, a guy with disheveled hair who looked like a water ghost jumped out of the water, grabbed the zongzi floating on the water and tried to escape.

Shen Yuelan was stunned. What a guy, mention Cao Cao and Cao Cao will appear, right?

Having said that, Shen Yuelan is not a pushover, and not everyone can get free food from her.

With one use of the National Collapse Book Spirit Technique, the enemy lost the ability to resist and fainted instantly. The effect of Shen Yuelan's moves now was several times stronger than in the initial stage, and few ordinary people could resist it.

After the man was fished out by Shen Huanyan, the two of them parted the man's hair and took a closer look. They found that he was an old man who looked to be at least in his sixties. The old guy was in good health and could even swim in the river.

When Shen Yuelan woke him up, the first thing the old guy did after waking up was to ask Shen Yuelan for food. Shen Yuelan was speechless, but still gave the old guy a few rice dumplings and let him eat first.

[What kind of food is this? I have lived for more than sixty years, and I have never eaten such a soft and delicious food. ]

Hearing the question from the [water ghost], Shen Yuelan's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, she had taken the wrong food. Zongzi was only recorded in the Jin Dynasty, and if we trace it back further, it would be around the Three Kingdoms period.

There would definitely be no zongzi during the period just after Qu Yuan jumped into the river. Tsk, what a mistake.

[It's good enough that I gave you food. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Tell me! Who are you? What's your name?]

[Me? My name is Ping, my courtesy name is Yuan, you can just call me Mi Ping.]
