"Mission: East Vietnam exchanges food!"
"Mission introduction: Even if you kneel down, you must complete the idea you came up with. Send an envoy to East Vietnam to complete the task of trading grain with East Vietnam."
"Completion reward: Open the express delivery station function."
"Penalty for failure: Big words cannot be spoken casually, and language fluency is deprived."
To be honest, for a salty fish like Tang Ping, he felt that he had done enough. If he were to go on a mission to the East Yue Kingdom, there would be too many possible surprises.
If possible, he really doesn't want to go.
But now the system tasks have been released, and there is never an option to accept or reject the tasks issued by this system. It is always mandatory to accept the tasks.
So he could only ask what the specific rewards and punishments were: "Xiao Kong, what is the express delivery station?"
"You can understand that after you place an order online, it can be sent directly to Datang."
Tang Ping's eyes lit up. This reward is awesome. He goes back once a month now, mainly to purchase things. He spends most of the day buying things and the rest of the day unloading. He has no time to do anything else.
It would be very convenient if we had this function, so it seems that this task is a good one.
“But what does this deprivation of language fluency mean?”
"Do you know about stuttering?"
"I know! Damn it!" Tang Ping was shocked: "Does this mean that my mission failed and I became a stutterer?"
"Yes, and it is the most serious and irreversible kind!"
"..." Failure in this mission may not seem like a big deal, but Tang Ping absolutely cannot accept it. He doesn't want to start a conspiracy with others in the future:
"Up...up...up...top order is missing!"
"Brother Tang, I wonder if you are willing to go to Dongyue as an envoy? We can report back to His Majesty!" Fang Xuanling asked again when he saw that Tang Ping was stunned and didn't speak.
"Go, I'll go!" He had to go anyway, so Tang Ping directly made a full gesture: "This matter concerns the people of the Tang Dynasty. Although I am not talented, I am willing to do my little bit!"
"Okay, in that case, we will report back to Your Majesty!" So Fang and Du got into the car again.
Therefore, I am leaving Chang'an and going to see other places in this world!
Looking outside the door, Tang Ping thought in a daze.
When he first came to this world, he encountered a Turkic siege. The scene of Lao Cui killing several Turkic soldiers is still vivid in his mind.
So perhaps from his first impression, he felt that this world was barbaric and dangerous, which is why he has been eager to complete the system's mission and return to modern times.
But after living here for a few months, some things have slowly begun to change.
In the morning, I had a breakfast carefully prepared by Xiaoluo, walked around in the fresh air of the countryside, and came back to teach Li Bai and the children in Shanghe Village. In the afternoon, I could take a comfortable nap on the deck chair in the yard.
After dinner in the evening, several people in the family chatted together in the yard, listening to Lao Cui and Lao Du telling stories about their time in the army, listening to old man Pei Min telling stories about his time in the world, or Tang Ping looking for a few I remembered the novel and told it to everyone, and had some late-night snacks and tea.
This kind of life is simply not too comfortable.
It is said that it only takes 23 days to form a habit. Tang Ping seems to have become accustomed to life in this Tang Dynasty.
So although this was a task assigned to him by the system, he actually didn't reject it at all, and even looked forward to seeing other parts of the world.
Of course, the premise is to ensure your own safety.
The canonization in the palace came quickly, and overnight a chamberlain sent documents and Tang Ping's court uniform.
Along with Lao Cui and Lao Du, they were also promoted and became team leaders.
If the two of them return to the army now, they can each lead fifty soldiers.
Also accompanying them were Fang and Du. Looking at the people eating late night snacks in the yard, both of them blushed.
I came here three times, and all three times I caught up with other people's meals. They didn't believe it if it wasn't intentional.
According to Tang Ping's opinion, usually when the chamberlain came to read out the imperial edict, he would instead give some wedding money or something like that. However, although he sold some spicy oil and MSG, he was still poor.
So each of the two chamberlains gave him a pack of Busanjia lollipops. I don't know if it was because Fang Du was around, but the two chamberlains didn't find fault, they congratulated him and left.
Fang and Du were left behind and were invited to the table by Tang Ping.
"Lao Du, grill some better beef for you two adults!"
"Okay!"
Lao Du, who had finished the barbecue, poured another glass of wine for the two of them: "Two adults, please!"
Because they had something to do during the day, the two of them just ate. After running around for a day, they were really tired, so two drinks would be the most comfortable.
After Fang Xuanling drank a glass of wine, red clouds flew over her face. She sighed and said, "Tang... I will now call you Master Tang. Please prepare to leave as soon as possible for this matter."
You must know that because countries can be regarded as temporarily breaking the contract, time is running out before the locust plague comes.
Datang must have enough food reserves to deal with this locust plague.
"I understand!" Tang Ping nodded: "I wonder how the road conditions are from Chang'an to Yingzhou?"
Yingzhou is where the current capital of Dongyue Kingdom is located, and it is not too far from the border between Datang and Dongyue.
In the afternoon, Tang Ping and Lao Cui Lao Du confirmed that Yingzhou at this time, which would later become Fuyang City, Anhui Province, would only cover more than 700 kilometers by highway in later generations.
"This is an official road. Although there may be occasional bumps, the road is actually pretty good." The two of them thought that Tang Ping was afraid of the hardship on the road, so they explained to him seriously.
"If the road is smooth, I'd like to start tomorrow."
"Let's go first?"
"Yes!" Tang Ping nodded. His own pickup truck was parked in the garage. The 136L fuel tank can be filled up and run for more than 600 kilometers without any problem. With the auxiliary fuel tank of 160 liters, it is more than enough for a one-way trip.
We can settle the matter when we get there and use a trolley to pull him back on the way back.
And he also wanted to understand that if someone really wants to cause trouble for him on this mission, riding with five hundred black armor may not be safer than driving by himself.
At least if you want to run on a flat road, you really don't have to worry about others catching up.
He and Fang Du explained their thoughts clearly. Although they were surprised that Tang Ping could reach Yingzhou in only two days, time was of the essence now, so they did not raise any objections.
The two discussed many details of the mission with Tang Ping, and Fang's scheming and decisiveness was clearly revealed at this moment.
After seeing the two of them off, Tang Ping looked at Xiao Luo and Lao Cui and Lao Du, and said with a little excitement: "Pack your things, let's set off early tomorrow morning!"
