More than half a month has passed since the first battle of Yan'er Mountain, but in fact, Qin Ze has never taken it to heart. He really didn't care about Li Er's reward, in his opinion, if Li Er wanted to reward him, he would have given the reward a long time ago.

Li Er didn't want to push him out too early, and it was definitely impossible to give it to any high-ranking officials, especially when the situation was complicated now.

Cheng Huailiang was very interested, and his mouth was chattering. Qin Ze didn't know what he was happy about, what else could Li Er reward him with his identity? Give money? The Cheng family now occupies Datang's coal business, so it is naturally not bad for money. To the officer? Will his old Cheng family still lack this thing? If it's small, it's not good, and it's unreasonable to give it big. So what is there to be happy about.

It was Zhao Zhong who announced the decree, this guy went to Chang'an, and obviously the spirit of the whole person changed. If Cheng Chumo hadn't gone up and kicked him twice, it is estimated that he would have floated to the sky.

When Qin Ze came, Cheng Chumo and the others were already waiting here, and even Cui Shi appeared here. After all, it has something to do with him, and I guess I also think that His Majesty can give him some rewards when he thinks of his identity.

Fortunately, you don't have to kneel, but you still have to do basic etiquette. Zhao Zhong stood in the direction of Chang'an, and Qin Ze and the others saluted the holy decree, which was actually to pay tribute to Chang'an.

Although he was kicked twice, Zhao Zhong was obviously still a little carried away. This guy opened the holy decree with both hands, and then began to read with his head held high and began to read: "Under the door, the former Tang Dynasty was brilliant and famous; The heroes are clear, and they are divided into four directions. Lingzhou Mansion folded the school captain Cheng Chumo, Yan'er Mountain killed tens of thousands of enemies in the first battle, and broke the Turks to open the Tang Dynasty, and his fame spread far and wide. He was given the post of Zhongwu general, a thousand taels of silver and a hundred pieces of silk. ”

In fact, General Zhongwu is just a military officer, because everyone knows that Cheng Chumo will inherit the title of Cheng Old Demon in the end, so Li Er can only reward some things that don't hurt or itch.

Similarly, the Cheng family didn't care about what was rewarded, but Li Er's heart for them. As long as their Cheng family does not rebel, fame and fortune are indispensable to them.

Cheng Chumo immediately saluted respectfully in the direction of Chang'an: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Zhong nodded and continued to read. Actually, don't look at this guy's serious appearance, but Qin Ze knows that he doesn't know a word at all. If you don't take down the holy decree, you already give them face, and it is estimated that it is still the bigwigs of those provinces who deliberately let this guy memorize the holy decree.

Cheng Huailiang's reward was a little worse than Cheng Chumo's, and he was named a five-grade loose official General Ning Yuan. The other rewards were naturally some gold and silver, but the amount was more than half of Cheng Chumo's.

Qin Ze was waiting on the side, and he was also a little apprehensive in his heart. According to this situation, it is estimated that there will be nothing left of him.

Waited left and right until Zhao Zhong finished reading Cheng Huailiang's reward, and then it was Qin Ze's turn.

"Deputy Lieutenant Yimo of the Nanding Army is Pingliu Kou, Mingde is meritorious, Yixian Tang Wei, the founder of Fengjing County, 300 households, from the five products. With the book under the door of the flat chapter matter, Yu as before. ”

Qin Ze's reward was unusually simple, and he didn't say how much gold and silver he would reward. However, just from the fifth grade alone, Qin Ze was already satisfied. Originally, I only thought that I could mix six products, but I didn't expect to earn five products now.

Therefore, in this comparison, Qin Ze's rewards are obviously much richer, because their rewards are scattered officials who have no real power except for gold and silver. But Qin Ze's difference, although the prince is a man, the man is the lowest rank of the knighthood. With this, Qin Ze can be regarded as squeezing into Chang'an's noble circle.

In Qin Ze's words, that is, he is one step closer to the days of gentleness!

The only hiccup was that Cui Shi, who had been waiting on the side, did not wait for his reward until the end. He asked Zhao Zhong with some disbelief, but what he got was the tragic reality that "His Majesty did not mention you".

Cheng Chumo didn't care so much about them, after receiving the holy decree from Zhao Zhong. Without saying a word, he kicked Zhao Zhong violently.

It was really the way he pretended to be forced before, which made them very unhappy. It's just that because he has the holy decree in his hand, they don't dare to do it. Without this life-saving talisman at this time, don't take a good breath.

Zhao Zhong did not resist, for him, this trip to Chang'an was worth it. He can also let his Lord Lieutenant salute himself, how could he be unhappy.

After sealing it, Qin Ze deliberately found a map of Chang'an. Finally, in the southwest corner of Chang'an, I saw the so-called Jingyang County. Qin Ze estimated that it was at least thirty or forty miles away from Chang'an, and it was basically a remote mountain village.

However, if he didn't assign his fiefdom to places like Lingnan, he was already worthy of him.

In order to celebrate such a big good deed, Qin Ze specially cooked a mutton hot pot for Cheng Chumo and them. Several people were also very happy to eat.

At the same time, Wang Fu, who went deep into the Xi Tu tribe, was also celebrating, and Xi Ku Qianjin personally set up a banquet to entertain Wang Fu and them. This is simply the highest level of treatment for the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce.

The people who were able to come to this banquet were all dignitaries and dignitaries of the Xitu tribe, and there were all kinds of dried meat on the table. The golden-roasted lamb was constantly oozing out of the flesh, and puffs of smoke rose from the fire.

The graceful Turkic singers danced around the fire one by one, scantily clad and singing songs that Wang Fu and they could not understand.

Bowls of butter tea were served, and everyone stopped eating the meat in their hands. With a bowl of butter tea, he drank it.

The more than 1,000 bottles of butter tea brought by Wang Fu have all been sold out, in exchange for a large pile of sheepskin jerky and all kinds of broken silver.

The Turks are now suffering from disasters, and a large number of cattle and sheep are starving to death. So they naturally have a lot of this sheepskin, and this thing is not worth anything to him at all. But for Wang Fu, if this thing is sold to Chang'an, the profit will directly increase dozens of times.

The price negotiated between Wang Fu and the Turks was that a bottle of butter tea would be exchanged for twenty sheepskins or four cowhides. You can also exchange it for two taels of broken silver, but if you can't do it, you can also exchange it for beef and mutton jerky.

For these Turks, whether it is sheepskin or jerky, they have no shortage of them. Of course, this is aimed at these dignitaries and nobles, and those ordinary herdsmen are still hungry.

So how much does a bottle of butter tea cost?

A full dozen can be counted as 50 Wen, and 20 sheepskins or 4 cowhides can be sold for 2,000 Wen in Chang'an. This is directly increased by forty times.

And most importantly, these Turks also thought that they had taken a big advantage. One by one, they praised Wang Fu for their righteousness, and they were much happier than those Hu merchants.

Of course, this is also because, in their opinion, the least valuable thing is the fur of these animals.

It's just that butter tea is not Wang Fu's ultimate business, what they really want to sell is actually tea, porcelain and silk. Because it is actually a bit troublesome to let them process butter tea.

In the end, Wang Fu directly told Xi Ku about the production method of butter tea, and this move immediately won the favor of the other party. At the moment, without saying a word, he directly set up a banquet, saying that he would entertain his businessman friends.

Not to mention that the Turkic mare's milk wine is indeed strong enough, and Wang Fu was also drunk in the end. Even Xi Ku, who is known for his large quantities, was drunk at this time.

Wang Fu forcibly came to Xi Ku Qianjin's side, and hugged him as if they were brothers.

Wang Fu gave a look to a person he had invited to act as an interpreter and asked him to come along. This person was bought by Wang Fu from the Turks for a lot of money, this guy used to be a Tang man, but in the end he escaped to the Turks, and he was smart, so he also mastered the languages of the two places.

This time I came to Xi Ku's banquet, one of them was to get closer to each other, and the other was to find out the news of Yehulu.

During the last battle of Xishan, three thousand Turkic iron cavalry appeared without warning, and even how they arrived at Xishan with Tie Legu, Qin Ze and they didn't know.

You must know that these days, they have to rummage over almost every inch of land near Xishan, but the army of Yehulu seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and they have not seen any trace.

It's so abnormal, so there's only one possibility. That is, Yehulu intends to march from the interior of the Turks, and then slowly approach Lingzhou. Although a lot of time is wasted, it is much better in terms of concealment.

Therefore, if you want to know the traces of the other party at the moment, you must enter the Turkic interior. And Wang Fu happened to be the best choice.

Zhou Cheng approached from outside the tent and nodded to Wang Fu to indicate that there was no one else around.

Wang Fu pulled the translator to Xi Ku Qianjin's ear and asked him to start probing.

At this time, it was already the second half of the night, and the dignitaries and dignitaries who attended the banquet had already left. Xi Ku Qianjin had no defense against Wang Fu at all, and Xi Ku Qianjin, who was already drunk and unconscious, was still holding Wang Fu and persuading him to drink.

Wang Fu pretended to be drinking, and on the other hand, he also began to inquire about the news of Yehulu.

Of course, Wang Fu would not be stupid enough to ask directly, but first mentioned the transaction in the horse market a few days ago. Only then did he lead Xi Ku to Yehulu little by little.

"That dog's day also Hulu almost left my Xi Ku in Xi Mountain, if they hadn't forced me to Xi Tu, our Xi Tu tribe would not be without a strong son now, how could no one be able to compensate you for drinking......"

Xi Ku chattered endlessly, which basically means that Hulu requisitioned all the men of their tribe.

Wang Fu was not in a hurry, so he followed his words and scolded Lu together. In the end, the two of them scolded Xingtou, Xi Ku Qijin directly took off his shoes, put them on his head, and then pretended to be also Hulu, shouting at Wang Fu.

The defense line in his heart completely collapsed, and without the slightest surprise, Xi Ku told everything.

Just like Qin Ze thought, Yehulu was now recruiting troops from the Turkic tribes near Lingzhou. At the same time, it also went around the interior of the Turks, and according to the words of Xi Ku Qianjin, it should now be in the area of Chushur Mountain.

Wang Fu naturally didn't know what place it was, but he knew that according to the speed of the Turkic march, it would take more than half a month to get around Lingzhou City.

It seems that Lingzhou City has time to breathe, but it reveals a bigger problem.

That is, Yehulu really intends to break through Lingzhou City! The number of his army is constantly increasing, which is not good news!
