New recruits will only be officially included in the camp after undergoing a series of inspections, and they will also have to undergo some training after entering the camp, so Qi Cheng has been staying in the barracks for the past few days and will not come back until the evening.

Although it was autumn, it was still a hot summer day. However, in just two days, Qi Cheng had become much tanned. He came back after having dinner in the camp. When he came back, he went to pay his respects to Minister Qi first, and then came to Qi Xiu's yard.

"...I feel much more tired today than yesterday. I guess it's because he took us, the new recruits, into consideration." Qi Cheng was always very casual in front of Qi Xiu. After asking for a sip of tea, he started to talk incessantly. However, perhaps it was the effect of the training, as he now sat very straight with his back straight, without any trace of his previous laziness.

"But the prince also came to the camp today, and he started a boxing match. He also took out a string of jade as a prize." Qi Cheng said, taking out a gold string with jade hanging on it from his waist and stuffing it into Qi Xiu's hand like offering a treasure.

"Since you won it, how about giving it to me?"

Qi Xiu smiled, but still took it. Seeing that he didn't refuse, Qi Chen became even more proud.

"This thing doesn't suit me. We'll be on the march to the battle in a few days. Who would want to wear this thing around their waist..."

He took a sip of tea and said, "But the court did the right thing. The morale of the troops at the border is unstable now. The prince's visit today has won over many people..."

Qi Cheng praised him several times in a row, which made Qi Xiu a little surprised.

"You weren't..."

Qi Cheng met his teasing gaze, said "oops" and put down the teacup.

"It's a different time now. I didn't know his martial arts were so powerful. After only three moves..." Qi Cheng sighed, "The force was so great that it made my wrist numb. It's so terrifying!"

He didn't even see how Qin Huai made his move. The wooden stick hit the red tassel spear with a humming sound, and his wrist lost its strength.

"Thank you."

By the time he reacted, the wooden stick was already in front of him. The audience immediately burst into laughter. Qi Cheng was the best among them, but this best could not get any benefits from the prince.

"The prince is really amazing!"

Qi Cheng didn't want to take the gold thread at first, but Qin Huai said that it was his own thing and since he was giving it out as a prize, there was no reason for him to take it back.

So it was hung on Qi Cheng's waist.

The two talked for a few more words, and the more Qi Chen talked, the more he wanted to practice for a few more hours at night. Seeing that he was getting a little restless, Qi Xiu took out a brocade bag from his arms.

The brocade bag was small, cotton-white in color, and embroidered with a pattern of Croton tiglium. There was a black rope tied to the bag, and a small gold bead was threaded on the black rope. The whole bag was in one piece.

"This is a peace amulet for you. I put it in this brocade bag because I don't want the wooden amulet to wear out."

Qi Cheng stretched out his hand, and only after he took the bag did he see a small word "Cheng" embroidered with silver thread on the brocade bag, which was not very conspicuous.

"As a brother, I feel guilty for not being able to do anything more for Huai'an..."

Qi Xiu couldn't help but feel a little depressed. He felt like he was a drag and couldn't even tell him not to worry about his family...
