Chapter 182 Naming the Deserted Island
When everyone thought of the endless methods Lu Shiyan had used to deal with them before, they all shuddered and ran away without caring about their previous plans.
On the other side, Zhao Chengde also soon received the secret letter sent by Zhao Yuanliang.
Looking at the contents of the secret letter, Zhao Chengde also panicked.
Although it was a bit ridiculous to conclude that it was Lu Shiyan's conspiracy based on just one scent, Lu Shiyan had used this scheme many times before, causing countless casualties among his soldiers.
This forced him to be on guard.
Zhao Chengde was just hesitating when he heard the scout report, "General, a large group of troops is coming towards us from the southwest."
Zhao Chengde slapped his thigh and cursed, "Damn it, it's a conspiracy! Everyone, listen to my orders and withdraw!"
Looking at the South Vietnamese soldiers who suddenly fled, Lu Shili was somewhat confused. However, it was a good thing that the South Vietnamese had left, as his guards also had many skilled martial artists.
But after all, they were outnumbered and were at a disadvantage when fighting against so many South Vietnamese soldiers.
Now many people were seriously injured. He quickly asked the injured to bandage their wounds, and the uninjured to organize the grain carts, planning to continue on his journey after packing up.
While I was busy, I suddenly heard the rumbling sound of horse hooves.
Lu Shili's nerves suddenly tensed up.
Could it be that the people of Nanyue left and returned?
He immediately asked everyone to prepare for battle.
When Zhou Lei arrived with his men, he saw no South Vietnamese soldiers. Instead, he saw Lu Shili and his men, holding weapons with nervous expressions. He was also surprised, "Where are the South Vietnamese soldiers?"
He looked at the bodies on the ground and asked, "Did you kill them all?"
Seeing it was Zhou Lei, Lu Shili breathed a sigh of relief, put away his weapon and said, "Brother Zhou, it's you! I was wondering why those bastards from South Vietnam were scared away!"
Zhou Lei looked bewildered. "Didn't you drive away the South Vietnamese soldiers?"
Lu Shili: "Brother Zhou, you're joking. I only have a few men and horses. How can I drive away the troops led by the Nanyue general himself?"
After hearing Lu Shili's words, Zhou Lei was even more puzzled. Logically speaking, the South Vietnamese general who personally led his troops to seize the food would not easily let it go without getting it!
Why did they retreat directly?
The two of them didn't know at this time that this was all a misunderstanding caused by the pot of fruit tea cooked by Jiang Tangtang.
Moreover, Jiang Tangtang's pot of fragrant fruit tea not only made the suspicious South Vietnamese soldiers retreat voluntarily, but also avoided a night attack on the military camp.
The two men did not figure out why the South Vietnamese soldiers retreated, nor did they have time to think about it. They suppressed their doubts and transported food to the camp.
With Zhou Lei leading the escort, the rest of the journey was very smooth. In the middle of the night, the food that Lu Shili had collected was successfully delivered to the military camp.
When the food arrived at the barracks, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The soldiers no longer had to worry about running out of food.
But this food is far from enough!
Moreover, soldiers have to go to the battlefield to fight the enemy, how can they eat steamed buns with wild vegetables every meal!
Jiang Tangtang distributed fruit tea to everyone and secretly made a decision in her heart. After Yuan San found out the address of the grain factory, she immediately took action.
"The tea made by my sister-in-law is still the best. One bowl of this tea can keep me fed for three days."
Lu Shili's voice brought Jiang Tangtang back to her senses.
She smiled and said, "If you like it, I'll make more next time. We found a lot of wild fruits on the island this time, and we can't finish them all. It's perfect to make fruit tea for you."
The so-called wild fruits found on the deserted island are naturally just an excuse.
She just found a suitable opportunity to transplant the dragon fruit and grapes in the space to the wasteland.
Because the island is so large, many places have never been visited by anyone. But now the island belongs to them.
Jiang Tangtang then boldly moved many fruits to the wild forest. In this way, the fruits in the space could appear openly, and she no longer had to find excuses for where the fruits came from.
On the other hand, it also quickly enabled large-scale cultivation of various fruits.
Lu Shili didn't know the inside story, he just thought he had found a lot of wild fruits on the island, and he said happily: "That is really a treasure island."
As he spoke, an idea struck him. "Brother, sister-in-law, you haven't named the island yet, right? How about calling it Treasure Island from now on?"
Lu Shiyan looked at Jiang Tangtang with a gentle gaze and said, "What do you think?"
Although the wild fruits on the island are fake, its rich mineral resources are fully worthy of the name of Treasure Island.
Jiang Tangtang nodded without hesitation, "That's a good name! Let's call it Treasure Island!"
After they talked about the situation on the island, Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shili talked about organizing a caravan and opening up trade routes.
Although she had already decided to rob food from corrupt officials, the trade route still had to be opened up.
The war broke out in Lingnan, and business was greatly affected.
Only by opening up trade routes and selling Yanzhifang's products outside can she have a steady stream of money.
In addition to opening up trade routes and selling goods outside, she had another idea.
That is to open a restaurant in a big city with developed business.
Because of the slow transportation speed, seafood often dies when shipped to other places, so the price of seafood in places far from the sea is also very high. However, even at the high price, seafood is still sought after by the rich and powerful.
She can transport fresh seafood by simply mixing spiritual spring water into the sea water.
One can imagine how much profit her restaurant will make once it opens.
Lu Shili agreed with her idea very much. Why are they so passive now? Isn’t it because they don’t have their own caravan and are not strong enough?
That night, several people discussed until the early morning about how to open up trade routes and establish their own caravan.
After dawn, Lu Shili didn't bother to catch up on his sleep. He took his men out of the camp and went to prepare for the caravan.
After staying up all night, Jiang Tangtang's eyes were red. Lu Shiyan felt distressed and raised his hand to tuck the strands of hair behind her ears. "Go to the tent and get some sleep! I'll send someone to take you back tomorrow."
"What about you?" Jiang Tangtang looked at his face which was becoming thinner and more chiseled, and felt a little distressed in her heart.
He must often pull all-nighters like this!
Lu Shiyan's eyes were gentle, and he said softly, "I still have things to deal with in the camp. I'll come back to see you later!"
Jiang Tangtang knew he had something important to do, so she didn't want to persuade him. But she felt sorry for him, so she said, "Then I'll make him something to eat first."
Lu Shiyan didn't want to make her tired, but seeing the heartache in her eyes that she couldn't hide, he felt sweet in his heart and couldn't help but nodded and said, "Then eat something casually, don't work too hard."
Jiang Tangtang didn't want to waste his time, so she didn't make any complicated meals.
She went to the carriage and took out a bundle of dried noodles that had been pressed and dried in a noodle machine earlier, as well as homemade spicy seafood sauce from the space.
Since you don't need to knead the dough, it's very easy to cook. The noodles are ready in no time.
The noodles were boiled in plain water without even an egg, but they were incredibly fragrant with the spicy seafood sauce.
