Finally, There's Salt
Zhao Yiyang was wearing leather armor and carrying a sword on his back.
This time, other than the five silkpants, he also led 50 soldiers to Lan Province to transport food.
Dongyang Castle was not far from Lan Zhou City, about thirty to forty miles away.
It seemed like the journey wasn't far, but because the road conditions were bad, it would take two to three hours (two hours to two hours) to go back and forth.
If they set off at noon, they would be able to rush back before dark.
Because of the great victory a few months ago, the army did not lack livestock.
For a small fortress like Dongyang Castle, apart from warhorses, there were even a few inferior horses at their disposal.
Therefore, the soldiers did not have to do it themselves.
"Are you ready?"
Zhao Yiyang asked.
"Milord, everything is ready."
Zhang Cheng quickly replied.
"Alright, let's go."
Zhao Yiyang raised the horsewhip in his hand and squeezed the horse's belly hard. He took the lead and rushed out of Dongyang Castle.

At this time, it was the intersection of spring and summer.
With Li Chengqian, this big Buddha, it was much easier to get food this time than before.
A cart full of wheat, five sheep, and even a few jars of wine.
The abundance of materials made Zhao Yiyang smile happily.
However, salt was a big problem.
The lack of salt in the army was already an open secret.
The imperial court had no choice but to use vinegar cloth to make up the numbers.
Do you know what vinegar cloth is?
It was a cloth that had been boiled with vinegar. When eating, as long as the cloth was placed in water, the smell of vinegar would escape.
Originally, they had used salt cloths, but the army lacked salt, so they could only use vinegar cloths to make up the numbers.
Vinegar cloth.
How should he put it? It was like a foot-binding cloth, smelly and long.
However, there was no other way. In ancient times, resources were scarce. It was already good enough to have food to eat.
Lan Province was not big at the moment, and it could not be compared to the provincial capital of the future. It was just a small city by the Yellow River.
After packing the food and other supplies, Zhao Yiyang brought his subordinates to the city gate.
He had agreed to meet with those silkpants at the city gate at 10:00.
This was also part of the agreement with them. Once they came to Lan Province to get food, their activities would not be interfered with by Zhao Yiyang.
After waiting for about ten minutes, a few people rode out of the city gate.
"You're quite bold. You actually dare to bring the Crown Prince to visit a brothel?”
Zhao Yiyang glanced at them and smiled.
In his heart, however, he felt all sorts of f * ck.
'Damn you, we're going to visit a brothel together, but you didn't call me along.'
Don't you know that I've been holding it in for months?
Err...
Their relationship didn't seem to be that good.
Li Chengqian's old face turned red. He quickly sized himself up to see if he had exposed himself.
"Little thief, don't spout nonsense. We're just going for a meal.”
Zhangsun Chong hurriedly said.
Zhao Yiyang didn't say anything. He pointed the horsewhip at Hou Jie's face.
A bright red lipstick mark was clearly visible.
Hou Jie was embarrassed and quickly wiped it clean with his hands.
"The food in the brothel is better than the food in the restaurant. We just went to drink and have fun. We didn't do anything out of line.”
He quickly explained.
"None of my business."
Zhao Yiyang pinched the horse's belly and started his journey back.
F * ck!
If he didn't get any salt this time, his future would be difficult.

Because of the food supply, the team's speed was not very fast.
After walking for two hours, they had only walked twenty li.
Zhao Yiyang saw that the soldiers were a little tired, so he reined in his horse.
"Dismount and rest for a while before leaving.”
he ordered.
The soldiers who were herding the sheep also drove the sheep to a patch of grass and let the sheep feed themselves.
However, these sheep did not eat the grass. Instead, they licked the rocks by the roadside.
Zhao Yiyang was surprised.
He walked over, broke off a rock, and licked it.
He was overjoyed.
"Old Zhang, Zhang Cheng, we finally have salt.”
