Start with an antique shop and become rich overnight

Chapter 227 Jade
Only after finishing the New Year’s Eve dinner did we clean up the mess.

Coincidentally, the wind and snow outside had stopped.

A signal firework exploded in the sky. Wen Zhi frowned and turned to Shen You and said,
"We plan to start as soon as the snow stops tonight. I will definitely be back tomorrow morning at the latest."

"Yeah." Shen You responded, "Try not to get hurt during the New Year."

"Not this time. The target is their food supplies. They robbed a large number of things from the Lu family army in the northwest. They were all good things sent by customers of the shop. If Shuozhou City does not take action, Da Qi's troops cannot afford to waste their resources."

The foreigners here are mainly infantry and light cavalry. Liu Yunyan has been training the troops at night for the past two days, and all the soldiers have been selected.

The purpose is to regain the advantage lost in the northwest.

The outsiders are also preparing to take action tomorrow, taking advantage of the New Year celebrations in Shuozhou City when people let their guard down.

But they have to strike first.

It was pitch black at night, and one couldn't see the people or the roads clearly. Outsiders would never guess that they dared to run out at night.

Anyone familiar with the weather in the north can see that the wind and snow have only stopped temporarily, and there is a 90% chance that it will continue in the future.

But Liu Yunyan had an outdoor super-long-range and high-intensity flashlight given by Shen You, and Wen Zhi knew where to hide from the wind and snow.

After Wen Zhi left, Shen You began to process the ancient jade that had been dug out in the afternoon.

First, you have to clean off the dirt. This doesn't require much technical skills, just be careful.

Shen You uses a tablet to play electronic pickled mustard tubers and ancient costume sitcoms, and does things according to the voice.

This jade pendant, or rather a jade bi, has surface cracks that can be seen after a little cleaning.

It is indeed very old, and the color is better than I expected.

The jade was of good quality, something that ordinary nobles could not afford at that time.

Jade bi is a ritual vessel.

It was used for offering sacrifices to heaven, as a symbol of power, a mark of rank, and was often used as a burial object.

The reason why it is so well preserved is that it is located in a remote area and the ancient road is covered with snow.

If she hadn't gone to the door to make a snowman and accidentally dug something up, she would never have thought that there could be an ancient sacrificial site in such a place.

The altar is not at the top of the mountain yet, but is still far from the halfway point.

Is it because of limited productivity that the ancient road cannot be built up, so why not just choose here?

But when she looked at the circular altar, she realized that the wind from all directions would not be blocked. Was there any explanation for this in the Feng Shui at that time?
Shen You was thinking while doing the work at hand until the sound of a voice call came from his cell phone.

It's her parents.

"Xiaoyou, Chinese New Year is tomorrow. Have you prepared everything by yourself in Jiangcheng? You need to buy vegetables a few days in advance. There won't be much to buy in the market from the first to the fifth day of the New Year." Father Shen instructed.

In the past, he was the one who went to the vegetable market at home. Shen You didn’t even recognize a few vegetables, so he was a little worried.

"I know, don't worry, the New Year's goods here can last for a month." Shen You didn't stop moving his hands while holding the small brush.

"What are you doing? Are you okay being alone at home?" asked Shen's mother.

Shen You took off her gloves, switched to video, and placed her phone on a watermelon-rind kitten stand. The camera was only facing her head and arms, so she couldn't capture anything on the stage.

"It's fine. I'm watching something."

Her life was so fulfilling. She set up the shop in the morning and dug the ground in the afternoon. It was completely different from what her parents imagined, that she was lying in bed alone, ordering takeout every day, feeling lonely and desolate while looking at the lights of thousands of homes.

"How are you doing on the island?" Shen You asked.

"It's good that we are here. We don't even need to wear down jackets. The weather is very warm, with an average temperature of over 20 degrees. The seafood here is cheap and fresh, and your favorite coconuts are everywhere." Mother Shen smiled happily.

Her friends from her hometown all sent her messages saying that they envied her because the girls at home were willing to spend money to let them go out and have fun.

"That's good." Shen You smiled. After chatting with his parents for a while, he reminded them not to tell too much to the people back home. There are many people who can't stand others doing well, so keep a low profile to stay safe.

The couple are not high-profile people. They don’t post much on their Moments usually. At most they post some pictures of mountains, rivers, flowers and plants. They also agree with Shen You’s reminder.

After ending the call, Shen You finished cleaning the jade bi, wiped it, put the things away, and went upstairs to take a shower and sleep.

After the studio was closed for the holiday, I tried to go to bed early every day, but failed almost every day.

I feel sleepy in the morning and in the afternoon, but I feel energetic in the early morning.

She tossed and turned, always feeling a little empty in her heart. New Year's Day was tomorrow, and she didn't know when Wen Zhi would be able to come back.

at the same time.

In the foreign military camp, there were lights of fire, flashlights, Molotov cocktails and wine, as well as sounds of fighting, and the screams of humans and animals.

"Didn't they say that the Da Qi people wouldn't take any action in the next few days?!"

"How did the Da Qi people know our deployment?!"

The foreigners racked their brains to figure it out. There couldn't be spies in their tent. Could someone have been bribed?
There were no spies, but Liu Yunyan had a telescope and sent someone to check on their situation the day before yesterday.

"Oh no! The granary is on fire!"

"What are you standing there for? Go put out the fire!"

The fire reflected in the eyes of foreigners turned into rage rising to the sky. These people from Da Qi are really sick!

After a while, it started snowing heavily, and they came with wine jars and burning glass bottles to cause trouble.

Liu Yunyan, who was beaten by them a few days ago and mocked for hiding in the city, is showing off his skills here.

The two sides were enemies and were extremely jealous of each other.

"General, the Da Qi people have begun to retreat!"

They really shouldn't have chased them in this situation, but they couldn't bear to see so much of their food supplies burned.

The leader immediately ordered two teams to chase after them.

It was windy and snowy and it was uncomfortable for both sides, but they were not the only ones who suffered. Their horses were a little better than those of the Da Qi people.

It’s not difficult to catch up, and you can come back immediately if the situation goes wrong.

However, by the time they realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

"Go back quickly!"

The people of Da Qi brought them here on purpose!
Just as I was about to turn around, I heard the deafening sound of drums coming from somewhere.

The snow-capped mountains around were shaking and the foreigners opened their eyes wide.

Shouting has a chance of causing an avalanche, let alone such a loud war drum. It is easier if you find the right place and time.

Avalanches often occur before or after a snowstorm because the snow is relatively soft.

This avalanche will not hit the foreigners because the two sides are too close. If they don't reach a safe area, the soldiers of Da Qi will be doomed.

It's just to block their retreat. Wen Zhi sighed. If he didn't catch them, he would already be on his way home for the New Year!

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the battle was getting more intense. The Molotov cocktails and wine that the Da Qi light cavalry had brought with them were gone, and this time it was a battle between light cavalry.

Liu Yunyan used the basic three-three tactics based on actual combat training, and managed to gain an advantage even though he had no combat power advantage.

The foreign generals looked at the Great Qi Master who was sitting on his horse and giving orders with a cold expression, and they felt a chill in their hearts.

Who on earth said that Shuozhou City’s military force was extremely weak? The strongest fighting force of Da Qi is in the northwest.

The Northwest is so strong! Come to Shuozhou to see the hell level!
The foreigners just want to leave, while Da Qi wants revenge. The morale of both sides is different, and the outcome is already decided.
