At one o'clock in the morning, the sky was slightly bright, and the morning bells in the upper city, middle city and lower city rang at the same time.

"Squeak-"

The gate of the lower city slowly opened, and it took the combined efforts of dozens of city guards to push the huge door panel.

The dense crowds of people and carriages that had been waiting at the city gate rushed out from the right side impatiently like a flood that had been opened.

The people entering the city had already been waiting outside. As soon as the city gate opened, they were checked by the city guards one by one and quickly squeezed in.

"Go home—"

Accompanied by the cheers of young men such as Xizi, Mengzi, and Huaimu, Qingyi's convoy drove out of the city gate in the traffic, and the vehicles rumbled on the stone road.

Daniu also cheered: "Haha, the master is now a corporal and has been knighted. If grandma knew the news, she would definitely be very happy."

This honest young man who didn't think too much didn't care at all whether the king appointed him as a sergeant or a corporal. Anyway, his master was still young and would definitely make great contributions.

Tun Shigu couldn't stop smiling on his fat face. Qing Yi was granted the title of a corporal, and he was also promoted to a senior commoner. Maybe he could even become a true hereditary noble in this life.

As for Qing Yi, he sat in the carriage without moving, holding his chin and thinking.

This time he was granted the title of corporal in the name of shooting and killing a junior totem warrior, a junior beastmaster, and thirty wild thieves from the Blood Wolf Tribe.

There was no mention of spring ploughing suits in the decree, and even the hereditary fiefdom of the corporal had not been determined. It only said that an envoy would deliver it after he returned home. This gave him a bad feeling.

The militiamen in Huaiqiu seemed very excited. The experiences of this trip to the capital were enough to brag to the villagers for the rest of their lives. What's more, they also purchased a large amount of supplies in the capital, filling up several sidecars.

Chai Yong was chatting loudly with several Huaiqiuli militiamen: “Before, the Kou family was only a senior commoner. After they were promoted to a lower-ranking officer and granted a title, they were given a fief of one li in the original place.

I guess that with such great contributions made by the village chief, the king will probably make Huaiqiuli his fief, and then we won’t have to bother moving.”

Qing Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, if only it were that simple, the king has only given a corporal the title of nobility, and it would be difficult for the fief to be in Huaiqiu.

He turned his head and looked at the other two people apologetically, "Aunt, Brother Gongsun, I'm afraid you two will have to suffer with me."

The other two people sitting in the carriage were Gongsun Wu and his mother Jiang Ji.

Hearing Qing Yi's words, Gongsun Wu couldn't help but smile and said, "Now I have nothing to do in the capital, so why not become your steward, so that my mother can live a stable life. Maybe one day you will become a minister, and I can also benefit from your honor and establish my own family."

Jiang Ji wore a veiled hat and smiled, "The capital is in chaos right now. Although Zuo Gongyu was killed, he still has many friends and relatives. It's better to stay away for the time being."

Although Gongsun Wu and Jiang Ji said it lightly, Qing Yi understood that with Gongsun Wu's skills, he could be a steward even in the family of a senior officer. Why should he confer the title of steward to a junior officer like himself?

He said with gratitude: "When I said goodbye to Old Man Shi the day before yesterday, he gave me a lot of spiritual fruits and medicines. If there are any that are effective for my aunt's condition, feel free to use them.

In addition, Mr. Shi also gave me a lot of spiritual medicine seeds and a scroll of the pharmacist's practice method. We can also try to cultivate spiritual medicine in the sealed soil."

Jiang Ji's eyes lit up slightly, and she nodded and smiled, "Sergeant Yi is thoughtful. I don't even know your title, otherwise I could call you by your surname." "Hehe, Senior Doctor Yuanmu said that when I return home, an envoy will soon deliver these follow-up things." Qing Yi also felt that this title was really unpleasant.

"Little brother Qing Yi!"

Before reaching the stone bridge over the Xing River, Qing Yi heard Ran You's loud shouts from behind, so he quickly stopped the car and jumped out to greet him.

Unexpectedly, in addition to Ran You, there were more than 30 soldiers of the Left Division, each riding a tall horse. Especially Ran You's giant-hoofed wild horse, which was a seventh-grade exotic beast, was even more enviable.

"I've been busy with the rugby match these past two days. Yesterday I heard that Doctor Yuuki was teaching you the etiquette of being a noble and a minister. I thought you wouldn't leave for a few days."

Ran You’s dark face was covered in sweat, and he panted and said, “Last time we had a fight outside the Central City Gate, some cowards in the City Guards didn’t dare to fight me.

I heard that they actually want to hold you responsible, so this time when you go home, I'll have my brother and his men escort you back, so that you can get back in time for your first rugby game with Master You."

"Don't bother me!"

Qing Yi waved his hands and said, "Brother Ran You, this is the first rugby league after all. I heard from Doctor Yuan Mu Shang that even the king attaches great importance to it and is going to watch the game.

It's not easy for our brothers from Master Zuo to win the championship, so you should just focus on training them more. Winning the competition will also bring them a lot of glory."

"No, no!"

Ran You was very stubborn. "When you came here, you were ambushed twice by the Blood Wolf Tribe. This time, I will not let you go back alone no matter what."

Qing Yi soon discovered that Ran You was clearly talking to him, but he was stealing glances at Jiang Ji from time to time. It turned out that this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes also valued women over friendship. He said he was escorting his brothers, but in his heart he probably wanted to show his courtesy to the beauty.

"Yo ho——"

Just as Qing Yi was thinking about how to respond, a figure riding a galloping horse suddenly stopped aside, and Shi Dazhu came up with Niuniu in his arms.

The giant horse under him was taller, stronger and more powerful than Ran You's mount, and it did not look tired at all even while carrying the long sword that was more than a person's length.

Shi Dazhu said with a smile: "Luckily I caught up with your convoy, Ran You, what are you doing? Are you preparing to leave the city for a mission?"

Ran You first joked with Niuniu for a while, and then replied: "There is no mission. Brother Yi is going back to Huaiqiuli. He was ambushed twice when he came here. I plan to take these brothers to escort him all the way back."

"Haha, then you don't have to worry about it!"

Shi Dazhu patted the giant sword on the side of the horse's back and grinned, "Niuniu and I are going to visit Brother Yi's home for a few days. It's enough for me to escort you along the way."

Niuniu also nodded quickly and said, "Uncle with the big beard, my brother is really great, and so is the little fox and the civet cat."

Ran You was at a loss for words, but he couldn't force her to escort him. He stole a glance at Jiang Ji and said with a hint of disappointment, "With a fourth-rank master like you escorting us all the way, why would we be needed? Forget it. My brothers and I will go back to practice rugby. Take care, brothers."

After bidding farewell to the enthusiastic Ran You and dozens of soldiers of the Left Division, he let Niu Niu sit in the carriage to play with the little fox and the civet cat.

Qing Yi then smiled at Shi Dazhu and said, "I have been delayed in the capital for so many days, and was newly appointed as a corporal by the king. I have to hurry home to prepare for the land reclamation after the appointment. Brother Dazhu, let's go quickly."

The convoy quickly followed the large group of people and crossed the Xingshui Stone Bridge, but heard Gongsun Wu exclaimed: "There are two people lying on the riverbank, aren't they brothers from Dongmen?"
