"Brother, do you think I've picked enough?" The little girl Apa held up the fresh wild vegetables that exuded a strange fragrance, and asked her brother, who was also looking for wild vegetables not far away.

"Enough! That's enough! Not too much! When Ed heard his sister's words, he straightened up in the grass, and the wild vegetables in his hand were less than half of his sister's.

A dozen sweaty children gathered together the wild vegetables they had picked and happily walked towards Qi Yu's house by the river. It was the house with a small pier that Mark had built for Qi Yu by the river.

Since the death of his brother and brother, Mark has been alone. Usually he was busy combing through the two battalions of the armory, and only in his spare time would he find Qi Yu to eat strange and delicious dishes made by Qi Yu, drink wine, and talk about his own affairs.

Mark's side is going well. Because he had just taken over the integration of the Praetorian Guard Battalion, the Janissary of the West Battalion of the Praetorian Guard was gone, and the mysterious female treasurer of the Wild Battalion was also out of position, and the two largest hills were not there.

Not to mention the chief of the general affairs below, the general affairs elder of Dongying, Qi Lun, although he seems unreliable, but with him, everything is smooth; And the chief of the Xiying general is a whimper, and the Xiying group of dragons has no leader. In the first month, he snatched Qi Yu's helmet and was brought back to Old Chilun by Mark, who put it away again and didn't explain anything.

Everything else is nothing more than business as usual.

Charon's friends had been swept away before the prince's return, and the situation was kept in secret, and the rest of the people had to survive the transfer of power in ignorance.

The only thing that kept Mark busy was sorting out the deployment of the Janissaries in the royal city and the tribal areas, maintaining the patrols of the Plains of Divine Punishment and intervening militarily in the inter-tribal struggle. Mark, who has gradually straightened out his affairs, will run to Qi Yu like that group of orphans when he is fine.

The hut was on the shore of a slower river, and under the surprised eyes of Mark and the children, Qi Yu used ordinary bamboo branches and silk threads to make strange tools, and with writhing black insects dug in the ground, he actually caught a lot of fish from the river.

These fish are rarely eaten, and there are too many scales and fishy spines that make people daunted. In an era when civilian medical care was lacking, it was dangerous to get a fish bone stuck in the throat. What's more, if you want to fish a lot and weave nets and take boats, it is better to do other things at that time.

Qi Yu, who didn't know that he had made another invention here, cleaned up the fish he caught with a knife, fried them in a pot with olive oil, filtered the slag, and scalded the wild spices and vegetables picked by the wild boys, and made a delicious roasted fish soup.

In addition to soaking those coarse breads, this fish soup can also be mixed with noodles, which is said to be the food of Qi Yu's hometown. Mark and the others watched as Qi Yu made dough out of burnt wood ash and coarse flour like Corbett, and then rolled it into very thin strips with round wooden sticks, cooked and served with roasted fish soup and wild vegetables, which could make people snort and eat a few bowls.

It's just that the tools for eating this food are too troublesome, just two round wooden sticks. Mark and the others watched the thing easily pick up the noodles in Qi Yu's hand, and then watched Qi Yu comfortably breathe under a bowl of noodles, and they were very envious. Because they have studied for a long time, they can barely use it.

After everyone will use it, this tableware has been unanimously agreed by everyone, whether it is out of the field or working, you can take materials anytime and anywhere, you don't have to go anywhere with tableware, saving trouble.

Qi Yu gave the children the method of fishing and making fish soup, in any case, although this fish soup is not exquisite enough to be elegant, but it can be used locally, which is not only delicious, but also brings more nutrition to the children, saving a lot of money.

This time, Qi Yu asked the children to change a kind of wild vegetables, and different wild vegetables and soup ingredients were matched, so that this fish noodle soup often changed the flower head, and they never got tired of eating it. After eating noodles, the children cleaned their utensils and went to work in the camp.

After Mark became acquainted with them, Qi Yu suggested that Mark find the children to go to the Praetorian Guard camp to wash the armor of the Praetorian Guards, help old Qi Lun organize his weapons, and follow Qi Lun to learn to read and take care of paperwork in his spare time, or exercise with the Janissaries. Let children be self-reliant, strengthen their bodies, and have the ability to protect themselves.

As for when the queen's nursery will be built, Qi Yu doesn't care, what depends on others, it won't wait until the Year of the Monkey.

Sending everyone back to the city together, Qi Yu also returned to the guard by the way. The captain uncle knew that Qi Yu and Mark, the top boss of all the Praetorian Guards, were good brothers, and he was very surprised, and when he learned that Qi Yu refused to go to the Praetorian Guard Camp to help Mark, he regretted it for Qi Yu, and shouted that Qi Yu was willing to be a third-class city guard.

Kazan didn't know that the inner city of Wangcheng was almost Qi Yu's forbidden area, so Qi Yu could only patiently comfort the uncle, I have Qingyunzhi in my mouth, and look at me in the future, the uncle will give up, but it is indispensable to tell me to be motivated and so on.

During this time, Qi Yu got a short period of calm, and learned a lot from Kazan, learning to dress up as a Wangcheng person on weekdays, loosely wrapping a gorgeous headscarf around his head and waist, smoking rolled tobacco leaves, and speaking fluent Kingdom dialect, except for a slightly white complexion, it was impossible to tell whether he was an outsider or a native.

When patrolling the streets on weekdays, Qi Yu was very happy when he occasionally heard the news of the merger of the eastern tribes and the sharp rise in the output of goods from some distant merchants who wanted to leave together. Qi Yu was even happier when he saw those travelers and merchants who came from afar take out slender grain bags, pour out the burnt powder, and eat it with honey.

There is good news around and far away, and the good days seem to have come, just like the sunset through the curtain of Corbett, shining on the layers of transparent scales, and the whole city is dyed with golden brilliance.

Although he didn't know why this strange treasure suddenly came down, Qi Yu still beckoned his comrades to enforce martial law according to the rules. Picking up the spear and carrying the short knife, Qi Yu stood fully equipped at the junction of the feather curtain and the outer city, restricting pedestrians entering and leaving the outer city.

Some people obviously knew Qi Yu, the new ding who guarded the city, or were ready to fool around, or asked if something happened to Qi Yu, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

Although Qi Yu rarely experienced this meeting, he had experienced so many battles and the experience of his previous life, and he did not show timidity, but calmly explained that there was no order, just follow the routine operation, and everything was in order.

When Qi Yu was busy dealing with the long line in front of him, the captain's voice quietly sounded in his ears.

"Qi, well done. From today, we are going to start double posts, and I don't know what the situation is under this big curtain. ”

"It is said that there is some chaos in the palace. I didn't dare ask. Now that the feather curtain has fallen, it is likely that it has happened. You have to be careful these days. Kazan, who had a cold expression, stopped talking a little after speaking, but finally didn't stop his mouth: "Qi, can you ask Master Mark, what's going on at this time?" How long does it take for the city to be under martial law? ”

"My wife and son went back to her tribe, and they said they would return in five days, but now they haven't come back for ten days, and there is no news, I am a little anxious, and I was just about to take leave to take a look, and martial law came."

Qi Yu thought about it, and said to the captain who had always taken care of himself: "Don't worry, I'll go to Mark to ask about the situation." Also, if you can, I can run for you as the captain, you can't leave with the team, and I'm a newcomer staying here to get in the way, just run errands for you. ”

Kazan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to Qi Yu, and said, "Okay, you go to the city first." Hurry back if you don't ask if you get the situation, I'll help you prepare the things on the road, and go early when you come back. ”

Qi Yu nodded, pulled out his legs and ran towards the inner city guard camp.
