I'm Here to Get Even With You
The next day.
The progress of salt production was much faster than Zhao Yiyang had imagined.
It wasn't even noon, but the refined green salt was piled up like a small mountain.
The one thousand jin that Chai Shao wanted was enough.
After loading the green salt into the carriage, Zhao Yiyang instructed,""Brother Cheng, this place is quite far from Dongyang Castle and Lan Zhou City. You have to be careful and be afraid that the Qiang people will cause trouble, understand?”
Cheng Chumo waved his hand and said,"It's fine…" In the afternoon, Zhangsun Chong will send supplies over. With him and I guarding the salt pans, those barbarians won't dare to cause trouble.”
"Alright…"
Indeed, there was nothing to worry about.
Zhao Yiyang waved his horsewhip and ordered,""Let's go."
This time, he, Zhang Cheng, and more than 20 prefectural soldiers would personally escort the salt to Lan Zhou City.
Seventy miles was neither too far nor too close. He could make a round trip in two hours.
However, because the carriage was dragging over a thousand pounds of goods, it took more than twice the usual time.
At the end of the road, the city was already in sight. There was an endless stream of scouts and messengers galloping back and forth. From time to time, a deep horn sounded, and the thick arrows on the watchtowers flashed coldly.
On the city walls of Lan Province, a huge flag with the word Chai was fluttering high, looking very arrogant.
Because the Right Military Guard had taken over Lan Province's city defense, Lan Province had become a large military camp. It was much stricter than when he came a few days ago.
Zhao Yiyang led the soldiers to the city gate and reported their names. After checking their compatibility, they passed through the city gate and headed straight for the main tent.
Before meeting Chai Shao, all kinds of legends about him kept running amok in his mind.
Li Yuan's son-in-law, Li Er's brother-in-law.
He had a fiery temper, but his actions were elegant. Which of these two personalities was his true side?
Before Zhao Yiyang could figure it out, a burly man in his forties appeared at the entrance of the tent. His clear and deep eyes were fixed on Zhao Yiyang."You are Guo Yi Lieutenant Zhao Yiyang?”
"Yes, I am. May I ask who you are?”
Zhao Yiyang looked straight at him.
This person looked tall and sturdy, but he was dressed in a scholarly robe. He spoke and acted like a Confucian general.
"This old man is Chai Shao."
the burly man replied.
Zhao Yiyang lowered his head to avoid the sharp gaze and bowed,""General Zhao Yiyang greets Great General."
"Kid, I heard that you beat my son up 20 times?”
Chai Shao asked with a faint smile.
"The young duke rode his horse outside the main gate for no reason. According to the military law, he will be beaten 20 times."
Zhao Yiyang raised his head, his voice neither servile nor overbearing.
Zhang Cheng, who had come with him, prostrated on the ground. He was so scared that he almost peed his pants.
You're capable, you're awesome, you clean up this and that all day long.
Don't you know that these second-generation heirs all have backers?
This is great. I'm here to settle the score with you.
What are you going to do now?
However, the storm that Zhang Cheng expected did not come. Chai Shao looked at Zhao Yiyang with interest instead.
Seeing that he still looked like he needed a beating, she no longer had the mood to continue teasing him.
"Get up."
Chai Shao said.
Zhao Yiyang got up from the ground and was about to speak when Chai Shao grabbed him and followed him into the commander's tent.
In the main tent of the central army, there were already bodyguards who had set up a table.
There was a jar of wine and a few dishes on the table.
The dishes were still steaming. There weren't many, only four dishes, three dishes and one soup.
Another old general sat beside the table.
Behind the old general stood a handsome young man.
"Yi Country Duke, Right Military Guard Chief Shi Qinqiong. Behind him is his only son, Qin Huaidao.”Chai Shao introduced. (I'm sorry, when Qin Shubao was alive, his title was Duke Yi. After his death, he was granted the title of Duke Hu. I made a mistake before. I'm sorry.)）
Then, he pointed at Zhao Yiyang and said,"Uncle Bao, it's this kid."”
"I am Zhao Yiyang. Greetings, Yi Country Duke.”
Qin Qiong sized up Zhao Yiyang and felt that this kid was neither servile nor overbearing. He had a true personality. Qin Qiong's killing intent was nothing to him. Qin Qiong immediately had a good impression of him.
Pointing at the table, he said,"We are all generals, so there is no need for so many formalities. Sit."”
Sit?
Zhao Yiyang was stunned.
What were these two old generals up to?
He was just a mere Rank-8 Guo Yi Lieutenant. Since when was he qualified to sit with the Duke?
After all, the Great Tang, and even the entire feudal society, was divided into distinct classes.
Chai Shao saw that Zhao Yiyang was stunned and could not help but tease,""Aren't you fearless? You even dare to beat up the Crown Prince. Why? You don't even dare to have a drink with us?”
Why not?
I just didn't react in time.
As someone from the later generations, Zhao Yiyang did not suffer from the tea poison of feudal society.
Therefore, he cupped his hands and said,"Then I'll be rude today.”
After saying that, he took off his helmet and knelt down beside the table.
Chai Shao and Qin Qiong looked at each other and both saw a hint of admiration from each other's faces.
