Chapter 227 Jade
After finishing this little New Year's Eve dinner, I cleaned up the mess.
By chance, the wind and snow outside stopped.
A signal firework exploded in the sky. Wen Zhi frowned, turned to Shen You and said,
"We plan to start as soon as the snow and wind subside 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 and grass. They robbed a lot of things from the Lu family army in the northwest, and they were all good things sent by the customers of the shop. If Shuozhou City doesn't take action, Da Qi's troops can't afford it."
The foreigners here are mainly infantry and light cavalry. In the past two nights, Liu Yunyan has been training troops, selecting all elites.
It is to gain back the advantage lost in the northwest.
The foreigners are also preparing to take action tomorrow, while Shuozhou City is celebrating the New Year and is relaxing its vigilance.
But they want to strike first.
It was so dark at night that people and roads could not be seen clearly. Foreigners would not be able to guess that they dared to run out at night.
Anyone who knows 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 again.
But Liu Yunyan had an outdoor ultra-long-range bright 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 deal with the ancient jade dug out in the afternoon.
First of all, you have to clean off the dirt on it. This does not have much technical content, just be careful when doing it.
Shen You used a tablet to play electronic pickled vegetables and costume sitcoms, and listened to the voice to do things.
This jade pendant, I should talk about jade bi, can see the cracks on the surface after a little cleaning.
It is indeed very old, and the condition of Qinse is better than expected.
The jade was also of good quality. At that time, it was something that ordinary nobles could not touch.
Jade is a ritual vessel.
It is used to worship heaven, as a symbol of power, as an indicator of rank, and often as a funerary object.
The reason why it is so well preserved is that it is in an inaccessible place and the ancient road is covered with snow.
If she hadn't gone to build a snowman at the door and accidentally dug up something, she would never have imagined that there could be an ancient sacrificial site in this kind of place.
The altar is not yet at the top of the mountain, far from halfway up the mountain.
Is it because productivity is limited and the ancient road cannot be built, so why not choose here?
But she looked at the circular sacrificial altar, where the wind from all directions would not be blocked. Was there a saying in Feng Shui at that time?
Shen You was thinking while doing the work at hand until the phone rang with the sound of a voice call.
It's her parents.
"Xiaoyou, the Chinese New Year is tomorrow. Have you prepared anything in Jiangcheng alone? You have to buy vegetables a few days in advance. From the first to the fifth day of the new year, there is nothing to buy in the market." Father Shen asked.
He used to go to the vegetable market at home. Shen You didn't even know a few vegetables, so he didn't feel at ease.
"I know, don't worry, the New Year's goods I have here can last for a month." Shen You kept moving while holding the small brush.
"What are you doing? Are you okay at home alone?" Mother Shen asked.
Shen You took off his gloves and switched to video. He placed the camera on the watermelon rind kitten stand. The camera only focused on his head and arms and could not capture anything on the stage.
"It's good, I'm looking at something."
She was so fulfilled. She laid out the shop in the morning and dug the ground in the afternoon. It was completely different from her parents' imagination of her lying in bed alone and ordering takeout every day, helpless and desolate, looking at the lights of thousands of houses.
"How are you doing on the island?" Shen You asked.
"We don't even need to wear down jackets here. The weather is very warm, with an average temperature of more than 20 degrees. The seafood here is cheap and fresh, and your favorite coconuts are everywhere." Mother Shen beamed.
Friends from her hometown all sent messages saying they envied her, and the girl at home was willing to spend money to let them play.
"That's good." Shen You smiled. I chatted with my parents for a while and told them not to talk too much to the people in my hometown. There are so many people these days who don't want others to see their own good, so keep a low profile to stay safe.
The couple is not a high-profile person to begin with. They usually don't post much on their WeChat Moments. They mostly post about landscapes, flowers and plants. They also agree with Shen You's reminder.
After ending the call, Shen You finished cleaning the jade, wiping it, putting the things away, and went upstairs to take a shower and go to bed.
I try to go to bed early every day after the studio holiday, but I fail almost every day.
I was sleepy in the morning, sleepy in the afternoon, but in the early morning I felt energetic.
She tossed and turned, feeling a little empty in her heart. The Chinese New Year would be tomorrow, and she didn't know when Wen Zhi would be back.
at the same time.
In the foreign military camp, firelight, flashlight light, Molotov cocktails and wine were used together, and the sounds of fighting and the shouts of humans and animals mingled together.
"Didn't I say that Daqi people won't make any moves in the past few days?!!"
"How could the Daqi people know about our defense?!"
The foreigners didn't even think about it. There couldn't be spies in their camp. Could it be that someone had been bribed?
There were no spies, but Liu Yunyan had a telescope in his hand, and he sent someone to check on their situation the day before yesterday.
"Oh no, the granary is on fire!"
"What are you doing standing still! Why don't you go put out the fire!"
The fire reflected in the eyes of the foreigners turned into soaring anger. These Daqi people are really sick!
After a while it started to snow heavily, and they came over with wine jars and burning glass bottles to cause trouble.
Liu Yunyan, who had been beaten on the head by them a few days ago and was laughed at for only daring to hide in the city, showed off his talents here.
The two sides are enemies and are extremely jealous when they meet.
"General, the Daqi people have begun to withdraw!"
This kind of situation really shouldn't be pursued, but they had burned so much food and grass, and they really couldn't swallow this sigh of relief.
As soon as they got up, they ordered the two teams to chase them out.
It was windy and snowy for both sides, but not for them. Their horses were a little better than those of the Daqi people.
It's not difficult to catch up, and you can come back immediately if things go wrong.
However, by the time I realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
"Go back quickly!"
The Daqi people brought them here on purpose!
Just as he was about to turn around, the earth-shattering sound of drums came from nowhere.
The surrounding snow-capped mountains shook, and the foreigners' eyes widened.
Even shouting has a chance of causing an avalanche. Not to mention such a loud war drum, it is easier to find the right place and time.
Avalanches often occur around the time of a snowstorm because the snow is softer.
This avalanche will not hit the foreigners. The two sides are too close. If they do not reach a safe area, the Daqi soldiers will also be dead.
Wen Zhi sighed as he just blocked their way out. If he hadn't chased him out, he would have been on his way home for the New Year!
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the fighting is getting more intense. The Molotov cocktails and wine brought by Daqi Qingqi are gone. This wave is Qingqi fighting Qingqi.
Liu Yunyan used the basic version of the three-by-three tactics trained in actual combat to gain an advantage even though he had no advantage in combat power.
The foreign general looked at the Imperial Master of Qi who was sitting on the horse and commanding with a cold expression, and felt a sense of fear in his heart.
Who on earth said that Shuozhou City's military strength was extremely weak and that Da Qi's strongest combat strength was in the northwest.
Northwest is so strong! Come to Shuozhou to see the difficulty of hell!
The foreigners just want to leave, Daqi wants revenge, the morale of both sides is different, and the victory or defeat has been decided.
