Chapter 27
Ni Tu didn't go to sleep, but asked the carpenter to make two sets of four slightly warped wood chips.

There was also a groove for a wooden shoe in the middle, and Ni Tu then tied Cheng Zheng's feet to these two pieces of wood.

"What is this for?"

"Skiing, the snow is so good, how long will it be if you don't go skiing."

"Okay, dear brother, you want to play by yourself, and I have to dispatch troops, survey the road terrain, recruit troops and buy horses, and arrange how to transport these [-] trees to Chang'an. You want to play by yourself .”

"I bet you can't finish this mission."

"You know I can't finish it, why are you still making fun of me, why don't you help me, you only know how to play."

"Okay, this article, Lin Lang won't play tricks on you, I promise you, as long as you play with me for half a day, I will tell you how to send [-] trees to the outside of Chang'an city easily, without spending money, let alone recruiting troops , a waste of money.”

"Really? Good brother, tell me, tell me, I know you can do it, you have the best brain."

"Hehe, play with me for half a day, and I'll tell you!"

"Come on! I'll come with you now! Let's go, let's play!"

Jia Er held Cheng Zheng's big robe and waited on him.

Ni Tu dragged Cheng Zheng to the direction of Dahe not far from the camp.

Counting nine cold days, the river there has been frozen to a thickness of three feet.

Just now he asked a soldier to chisel with a bronze catalpa for a quarter of an hour, but he failed to break through the ice, so Ni Tu felt relieved.

"Brother Jia, I'm asking the carpenter to make skateboards for the big guys. When it's done, let's all come and play together."

"Okay! Good brother! Good brother has not forgotten me." Jia Er looked at this Ni Tu who was not putting on airs at all, his eyes were full of warmth.For some reason, his eyes were a little moist.

Cheng Zheng was too clumsy, Ni Tu dragged his hand to slide a hundred times on the ice surface, but he still didn't learn it, he couldn't slide a few steps, his body fell backwards, and he fell painfully.

It caused everyone who was playing very slippery on the ice to burst into laughter.

In half a day, a hundred people gathered on the huge ice surface.

When it was almost time for everyone to warm up, Ni Tu organized everyone to learn skating postures from him.

"One two one, one two one, pay attention to the rhythm of the arm swing, pay attention to the heels together, toes out, knees slightly bent..."

Looking at the ice surface full of enthusiasm, Cheng Yaojin hated that iron could not be made into steel. "The two dolls still can't grow up. I'll know the old man will stand up to me when the sky falls! The old man is so impatient, but they are having a great time. Hey! That's it! That's it! I'll take care of this matter!"

Cheng Yaojin originally wanted to ask Jia Er to count the money, but when he saw him frolicking in the team, he let out a long sigh.

"They're all a group of dolls who won't grow up! It's too worrying!"

After playing for half a day, Cheng Zhengcai finally controlled his fat body and kept it steady on the ice.

Tired from playing, everyone was cuddling against the embankment of the big river and gasping for breath.

"Brother Demon King, do you think it is possible to reach Chang'an along this river?"

"Chang'an? Of course! Everyone knows that this is the Qingshui River leading to Chang'an, and the Laoyu River, one of Chang'an's eight rivers. People in Chang'an call this river the Mother River."

"Dangdang, the eight rivers diverge, opposite to each other. It's a good eight rivers around Chang'an."

"Why are you asking this?"

Ni Tu smiled slightly and asked, "Shall we play a game and slide down the ice from here to see if we can reach Chang'an? I bet ten taels of silver on whether we can reach Chang'an smoothly."

"I also bet ten taels of silver that I can reach Chang'an."

"Okay, is there anyone who still wants to bet? Jia Er, come and register. If you are willing to bet, whoever loses will pay."

"Okay!"

Everyone in the army is already very bored, and Cheng Yaojin's army is very strict. They are not allowed to drink alcohol, let alone be involved in gambling. I didn't expect a small officer here to take the lead to play bets. How could he not be happy.

Everyone gathered around to place bets.

Of course, most of them are locals, so they naturally know whether the river can reach Chang'an.Although I haven't walked through it myself, I heard from the elders that this river can lead to Chang'an.

Although they knew the result, many people still bet on not being able to reach Chang'an, and the amount of money they invested was not much, at most it was a small meal.Everyone doesn't ask for anything else, just for fun.

"Hey, the bet is over, then I'll tell you the result!" Cheng Zheng smiled from ear to ear, feeling that he would earn a lot of silver taels this time.

"How can there be such a simple thing, for the sake of fairness, why don't we take a walk and see if this river can reach Chang'an?"

"Going to Chang'an? Are you still going along the ice?" Cheng Zheng looked up at the sky, guessing that even if he rode a horse from here to Chang'an, he might not be able to go back and forth before dark.

If you leave the camp without authorization, you will be punished with military sticks.

Cheng Zheng hesitated.

"Okay, since Cheng Xiaowei has conceded defeat, brothers and sisters go to collect some money!"

"Wait! Who said you'd admit defeat! Isn't it just a walk? What a big deal! Brothers and I, the little devil, will slide along this ice to Chang'an."

"it is good!"

The people on the ice suddenly burst into cheers.

Cheng Zheng was the first to rush downstream along the ice.

Along the way, Cheng Zheng led everyone to enjoy the beautiful and majestic scenery on both sides of the Strait, and made very elegant comments from time to time:

"Damn it! Great! Beautiful!"

Ni Tu was not idle, but stopped whenever he went to a place where the ice surface was relatively narrow, or where the ground had a relatively large bend, took out a paper and pen from his pocket, and started What is marked on it.

Careful people will find that the end point of the river on the paper is exactly in Chang'an.

When everyone saw Chang'an from a distance, there was a burst of excitement, and Cheng Zheng took the lead in cheering.

The cheers signaled that they were right in their bet and celebrated a field trip.

Cheng Zheng slapped Ni Tu's shoulder and said in relief, "Brother, don't say that elder brother bullies you, who made elder brother beat you when you grew up in Chang'an City? Don't be disheartened, it's just a loss of twelve taels." It’s just silver, at most it’s half a year’s salary.”

Ni Tu smiled slightly, and replied: "Brother Demon King, I am not unhappy. The one who has to pay should be brother. A good plan is hard to buy with a thousand dollars. You should pay, and it is 1000 taels."

"What do you mean by this, brother, do you want to renege on your debt? We have Jia Er as our middleman, he can hear clearly, what exactly are we betting on?"

The people who had bet on Cheng Yaojin's side didn't dare anymore, and started arguing.

Ni Tu waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down.

"Brother Demon King, don't just be playful and forget the big stumbling block that your grandson has made for you. We have been working for half a day, but it's not for the purpose of transporting [-] logs to Chang'an within three days."

After Ni Tu finished speaking, the scene was completely silent.

Ni Tu narrowed his eyes and observed everyone.

Jia Er suddenly slapped his forehead, "Ah!" and said, "I see!"

"Hush!" Ni Tu hurriedly raised his index finger and put it on his mouth to stop it, "Let's go back to the camp and I'll reveal the answer!"
