The Bet Is Li Chengqian's Sister
"My lord."
Gou 'zi was covered in sweat as he entered the main tent.
At this moment, the scene in the tent was quite spectacular.
Li Chengqian, Li Jingren, and Hou Jie were lying on the ground, their butts sticking up high. From time to time, they would let out painful cries.
Zhao Yiyang knelt at the side and wrote quickly, perfecting the hygiene regulations of the saltworks.
When he saw Gou 'zi come in, he put down his pen and looked up at Gou' zi.
"How is it?"
"This subordinate followed the hoof prints left at the scene and tracked it to 50 miles away. I found the barbarian tribe that attacked the salt pans, but they had already left.”
Gou 'zi replied.
It was within expectations.
These Qiang people had not learned anything else, but they had learned Hammer Trading. They knew that the Tang border army wanted revenge, so they fled.
"Where are the other brothers?"
Zhao Yiyang remained calm.
"Mountain monkey, the wild boars each brought two brothers and split up into two groups to continue scouting.”
Gou 'zi explained.
"Alright, I don't care what method you use. Within 3 days, I want to know the whereabouts of this Savage Tribe.”
"Here!"

The sky was already dark.
The saltworks also returned to its usual calm.
Liu Bao brought the remaining 50 soldiers from Dongyang Castle to the saltworks, as well as Chai Shao's orders.
First, strengthen the military deployment of the saltworks.
[Second, allocate 500 soldiers to Zhao Yiyang.]
Third, Zhao Yiyang had made great contributions in killing enemies, and his official position was also promoted. He was promoted from Rank 8 Guo Yi Lieutenant to Rank 7 Guo Yi Lieutenant and joined the army as a Right Military Guard.
This was also Chai Shao's limit.
Generals had the authority to reward and promote their subordinates.
However, they could only be promoted to the seventh rank and below, and after returning to the court, their authority would be taken back by the Ministry of War.
Logically speaking, with Zhao Yiyang's current battle achievements, he didn't even have the qualifications to be promoted, let alone two ranks.
He had captured a major figure of the Eastern Turks and obtained the rank of a lieutenant of the eighth rank.
However, his later battle achievements were only to kill some savages.
He could obtain some rewards, but it was far from reaching the standard of two levels in a row.
Chai Shao did this because he felt that Guo Yi's position wouldn't be able to suppress the 500 elites he sent, so he promoted Zhao Yiyang.
Zhao Yiyang looked at the military order Bao Liu handed over and asked,""Where is the army sent by the Great General?”
"We will arrive at Dongyang Castle tomorrow."
Liu Bao cupped his hands and replied.
"Alright, when the army arrives, hand over the salt pans to them and we'll return to Dongyang Castle.”
Zhao Yiyang stretched.
"Ah?"
Liu Bao was puzzled.
"Sir, why is this?"
Li Chengqian and the others also cast questioning gazes over.
In their eyes, the saltworks were a nest of gold. How could they give it away just like that?
"There's plenty of mineral salt in Longyou, so what's precious isn't the mineral salt, but the method of refining it. According to my character, I would like to mold all my soldiers into your appearance. However, I really don't have the mood to train them at the moment. I might as well leave them in the saltworks. Out of sight, out of mind. After I take revenge on Wang Shan, I will transfer them to Dongyang Castle in batches to receive training.”
Zhao Yiyang explained.
He didn't quite understand.
However, Liu Bao still pretended to be enlightened.
His boss was right. The most important thing now was to avenge Wang Shan.
As for the saltworks, he would talk about it after he took revenge!!!
Li Chengqian frowned.
"Don't forget, there are still more than a hundred savage women in the salt pans. If you don't do anything, what if these savage women get into trouble?”
"Who said I'm not going to do anything? Don't we still have you guys?"
Zhao Yiyang smiled.
"Get lost. You're going to war and you want me to watch over the house? I won't do it."
"You're not a husky. Why are you looking at the house?”
"What's a husky?"
"Uh, a type of divine beast."
Liu Bao saw his master and the crown prince bickering, so he took out a jar of wine as if he was presenting a treasure.
"Milord, this is the grape wine that Duke Huo bestowed upon you. He said that he wanted to apologize to all of you on behalf of Young Duke Cheng.”
Grape wine?
Wine?
Zhao Yiyang was overjoyed.
The hot and dry weather in Longyou was most suitable for drinking wine, not spicy Sanle pulp.
He took the wine jar and took a sip.
Instantly, the warm wine made people feel irritated.
Zhao Yiyang frowned. Why did it taste worse than Sanle Jiang?
He slapped Li Chengqian's hand away.
"I took 10 military lashes for that guy today. Can't I even have a sip?" Li Chengqian said angrily.”
"What a waste. How can you drink grape wine without ice?”
"I also know that grape wine is extremely refreshing after being chilled, but this is Longyou, where would there be ice cubes?”
Li Chengqian was full of complaints.
"What if I have a way to make ice?”
Zhao Yiyang blinked at him.
"Tsk."
Li Chengqian had a look of disdain.
Hou Jie and Lee Jingren were also in disbelief.
"There's a limit to your boasting. There are no big cities or snowy mountains within a radius of 500 miles.”
If there was a big city, the rich people in the city might dig cellars to store ice.
There was no need to explain too much about the snow mountains.
"I'm asking, are we betting or not?"
"If you can really make ice cubes, why can't we help you look after the saltworks?”
Li Chengqian said.
"Guard the saltworks. This is an order, not a bet.”
"Then what do you want? I'm even poorer than you now."
"I heard that you have a lot of sisters. When you return to Chang 'an, why don't you introduce your sister to me?”
"A few pieces of ice for my sister? Dream on! Hmm? How dare you mock my sister? Kid, you're looking for a beating. Look at my Pegasus Meteor Fist!!!”
