Chapter 271 Shen Shuli is being followed; the 3rd prince ascends the throne.
“Great! Now you can come visit me too.”
Shen Shuli was also very happy, after all, she liked such a beautiful mixed-race girl from the bottom of her heart.
She was unsure whether Jade City would be affected by the war in the future, because Jade City was not mentioned in the book.
But it's obvious that a wealthy prefecture like Yucheng would be targeted by someone.
I hope that in the future, Qi Yaya can go to Lihai to live with her maternal grandfather, so that he can take care of her.
“Yes, my mother takes me to stay at my maternal grandparents’ house for a period of time every winter, but this year the weather is unusually hot, so we haven’t been there yet. We’re worried that Lihai will be even hotter.”
Shen Shuli nodded and said, "Yes, the weather this year is indeed unusual. When it cools down, you must come to Lihai to visit me. I will treat you well then."
"Okay, then it's a deal!"
Qi Yaya happily reached out and gave Shen Shuli a high five, and Shen Shuli obligingly reached out her hand.
After parting ways with Qi Yaya, Su Yunhai and Shen Yuehua stopped selecting raw stones and went to find the other members of the group to see how their purchases were going.
Shen Shuli took the opportunity of strolling around the site to survey the entire mine.
The mine was found to be heavily guarded.
It's impossible for an ordinary person to steal even one of the stones from this ore.
If Shen Shuli wants to target the mines, she will have to find another undiscovered jade mine to work with.
Yucheng has been developing for thousands of years and has always been the most famous jade town.
It is evident that the jade veins are sufficiently abundant.
Shen Shuli believed that she would be able to use the space to find a new mineral vein.
After telling her parents what was going on, Shen Shuli secretly left the mine, intending to explore the surrounding mountains alone.
As soon as Shen Shuli left the mine, she noticed that several people were secretly following her.
It seems she's still being watched.
A mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips. Feigning ignorance, she wandered around the streets, eventually leading the person to an empty alley.
She was in a good mood and had no intention of personally taking action against these people.
They released Xiong Da and the two tigers directly from the space.
"Batian (Big Bear), Junlin (Male Tiger), Yuluo (Female Tiger), take care of them, leave no one alive," Shen Shuli instructed the brown bear and the two tiger lovers.
Having raised the three of them for over a month, their sizes had changed considerably, and Shen Shuli was eager to know how powerful they were now.
Moreover, she had already sensed that the people following her were not very strong, otherwise she would not have let the three of them take the risk.
The three of them were all eager to try, radiating a fierce fighting spirit.
The two tigers were clearly smarter than the brown bear.
They quietly approached the street corner and blocked the entrance, giving no chance for anyone to escape.
There were six people following Shen Shuli. They did not realize that they had been discovered and had led them to this secluded place where no one came and went.
"Tsk tsk, as expected of a stranger, he actually got lost and went to this place that even ghosts don't come to. It's just perfect for us."
“Indeed, indeed. I saw this little girl come out of Batel’s shop with a box in her hand. It must have contained the silver notes from the sale of the jade.”
"Hehe, I saw it too. They must have made at least 20,000 taels from Batel. We're going to be rich!"
"This is truly a perfect place for murder and robbery!"
Completely unaware of the danger, the group brazenly turned into the alley.
After leaving Batel's shop, Su Yunhai handed the box containing the gold to Shen Shuli, hoping she would take it back and look for opportunities to earn it.
Outsiders, seeing that Shen Shuli, such a small girl, could lift a small box, all mistakenly thought that it contained light silver notes.
Although locals don't like banknotes, they are the most convenient option for large transactions.
After the six people entered the alley, they were all stunned and dumbfounded when they saw the giant beast standing on two legs and reaching a height of six meters.
"What is this?"
"There are wild beasts here!"
"Oh my god, could I be seeing things?!"
Unbeknownst to them, two large tigers were slowly approaching them from behind, leaving them no way to retreat.
Seeing these tiny humans staring at him in a daze, Ba Tian felt a surge of pride and power, and was extremely pleased with himself.
It couldn't help but bare its teeth at the group, revealing its sharp, white teeth.
The six people then realized what was happening and retreated in fear, trying to escape.
But when he turned around, he found that two more giant tigers had appeared behind him!
"Ahhh, there's a tiger!"
"Help! When did so many ferocious beasts appear in Jade City?!"
Shen Shuli couldn't understand what these people were saying. She was standing behind the big brown bear, and these people couldn't see the hem of her clothes at all.
"Do it!" she whispered the order.
The three immediately launched an attack on the six people.
The six people were terrified and had little fighting ability to begin with, so they were quickly killed by the three big creatures with a single claw.
Seeing how easily these people were beaten, Batian sat down on the ground and picked up one of them with one paw, tossing him into the air for fun.
Junlin and Yulu walked over to Shen Shuli and lay down, rubbing their heads against their owner's thighs and acting cute.
"You guys are really fierce. These people are no match for you at all." Shen Shuli smiled and stroked the two fluffy, smooth tiger heads.
The two tigers were flattered and then growled and acted coquettishly in low voices.
Shen Shuli knew that this was the sound of two tigers begging for water from the spirit spring.
She was generous; after taking the two tigers into her spatial storage, she poured a lot of diluted spiritual spring water into their special large basin.
Xiongda suddenly realized that the two tigers' presence was gone. It then turned around to look at its master and found that they had disappeared without it.
It kicked away the bored human and quickly moved on to go home.
It's terribly hot outside, and it doesn't like it at all.
Shen Shuli also put Batian back into her space, fed it some spiritual spring water, and after confirming that the six people were completely dead, she left the alley and headed out of the city.
The nearby mountains were all ordinary mountain ranges without jade mines. After choosing a direction, Shen Shuli continued to walk deeper into the mountains.
Upon arriving in the deserted area, she took out the helicopter and began surveying the entire mountain range of Jade City in search of water sources.
Where there are jade mines, there is a high probability that there are also water sources.
After parking the helicopter, Shen Shuli stored it in her spatial storage and used it to explore the nearby rocks along the riverbed to see if they contained jade.
After exploring for a full thirty kilometers, Shen Shuli finally found a rough stone containing jade.
Shen Shuli had already given up hope, but unexpectedly, things finally took a turn for the better!
She put on a diving suit and dived into the middle of the river to check if there were any jadeite rough stones among the rocks at the bottom.
While exploring the rocks, they also took the opportunity to collect some river water, fish, shrimp, and crabs into their spatial storage.
Almost as soon as she sank underwater, Shen Shuli made a new discovery.
The frequency of spatial tremors is a bit too high.
However, Shen Shuli could not confirm which stone caused the spatial tremor.
She could only store all the stones within a ten-square-meter radius in her spatial storage, and then slowly select the raw stones containing jade after she went ashore.
After swimming downstream for several kilometers, Shen Shuli noticed that the number of raw stones in the riverbed was becoming increasingly dense.
She immediately went ashore and stopped diving, and began to observe the terrain and geology on both sides.
With the ability to cheat, Shen Shuli didn't need to use her brain at all. She could simply walk around the mountains and dig through a few hundred cubic meters of geological layers to quickly pinpoint the specific locations where jade mines were relatively concentrated.
After determining the location.
Shen Shuli immediately started mining.
The space warehouse is already nine-tenths full, with eight-tenths of that being iron ore.
Shen Shuli can only dig a little bit each time now, and then she has to clear away the messy, useless soil and vegetation so that the space can absorb it.
All the stones containing jade were selected and brought back, and then the space was used to filter them one by one, selecting all the rough stones containing top-quality materials.
Feed all the average quality raw stones into the space to upgrade it quickly.
The limited storage space significantly reduced Shen Shuli's mining speed.
Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and came up with a good solution.
It would be better to temporarily move the iron ore from the warehouse to the excavated area outside.
We'll mine the jade first, and then we'll take back the iron ore later.
Anyway, this is the middle of nowhere, no one will notice anything unusual.
After clearing the iron ore, Shen Shuli's operating speed increased significantly!
Once her mental energy was depleted, she quickly found a place to rest and released Batian and Junlin to guard her body to prevent any accidents.
Once you've rested well, get up and start mining immediately.
Shen Shuli worked for two days straight.
The richness of this jade mine far exceeded Shen Shuli's expectations; she felt she had only mined less than one percent of it.
The team will stay in Jade City for a maximum of three days.
We're leaving tomorrow morning.
Shen Shuli was reluctant to give up such a good opportunity.
If she wants to upgrade the space in the future, she will need more and more jade, so she must take this opportunity to stock up on a large batch.
"Go back and tell your parents so they can go ahead," Shen Shuli sighed.
Su Yunhai and Shen Yuehua understood their daughter, but they were worried about leaving her alone and wanted to keep one of them by her side.
But Shen Shuli rejected him.
Only Mu Wanjun in the team knew her secret, but Mu Wanjun's strength was not as good as Shen Shuli's.
Shen Shuli, on the contrary, had to worry about her best friend.
She'd be better off alone.
"Father, Mother, don't worry. I still have Batian, Junlin, and Yuluo. With them around, protecting me is no problem at all."
"Besides, I stayed in the mountains for two days and didn't encounter a single person, so there was no danger."
"As for you guys, I estimate that by the time I finish mining, you'll be arriving at Lihai. Be extra careful, leave markings along the way, and we'll head to the uninhabited island together after I rejoin the team," Shen Shuli couldn't help but remind them.
"Yes, don't worry, Dad will be careful," Su Yunhai solemnly assured him.
Shen Shuli wasted no time, secretly preparing the supplies the team needed and handing them over to Su Yunhai, along with ample silver and spiritual spring water.
Without wasting any time, Shen Shuli returned to the jade mine under the cover of night and began mining again.
The next morning.
Su Yunhai led his team and set off, leaving Yucheng.
These two days.
Su Yunhai purchased a lot of carriages, horses, and supplies in the city, so that the elderly and children who could not ride horses could travel by carriage.
The group's travel speed increased significantly once again.
The group was originally going to head towards Lihai via Songzhou Prefecture.
However, Shen Shuli had to come to Yucheng, so the group took a special detour to Yucheng.
Su Yunhai led his team, changed direction, and headed southeast.

Let's go back to the period of torrential rain disasters.
After the Northern Barbarian army successfully breached Cangzhou Prefecture on the fifth day of the torrential rain disaster.
They immediately joined forces with 100,000 troops of the Cangwang Army, catching the Cangzhou Army off guard.
The Northern Barbarian army originally numbered 200,000, but was hit by the flood and lost nearly half of its forces.
