The main camp, the commander's tent.

An Jiu had just returned from outside the military camp when she saw the young prince sitting in a round-backed chair in front of his desk, slowly wiping the sharp sword in his hand.

A cold glint flashed, and the sword was sheathed.

The sword was then placed on the desk.

At this moment, the guard outside came in to report, "Your Highness, the Princess of Kangle is outside the tent and says she has something important to report."

Upon hearing this, Song Yanqing raised his eyes to look at An Jiu in front of him, and said with a slight part of his thin lips, "I am already aware of this matter. Let's hold back for now and wait for them to cut off their own losses before we make a move."

An Jiu bowed his head, clasped his hands in a fist salute, accepted the order, and withdrew.

He lifted the curtain, bowed to Lu Qiqi, and then quickly left.

After An Jiu left, Lu Qiqi quickly walked into the commander's tent.

"Song Yanqing, I've thought of a way to cure scurvy!"

She rushed to the camp without stopping, just to tell him this first piece of news.

After Song Yanqing got up and sat down at the low table, he gestured to Lu Qiqi, "Sit down and let's talk."

After saying that, he picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Lu Qiqi.

Lu Qiqi sat opposite him, watching the tea being slowly pushed into her cup, and couldn't help but lick her lips.

She gulped down the cup of tea in one go, then put it down and let out a sigh of relief.

Then he said, "I just went to the grain camp and heard from the people who farm there that a lot of beans in the granary have sprouted."

She smiled brightly, and Song Yanqing across from her raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this.

An Yi, standing not far away, looked grim.

The sprouting of beans in the granary was not a good thing, and he couldn't understand why the head of Kang Le Township seemed to be overjoyed.

Lu Qiqi said, "Scurvy is caused by not eating fresh vegetables for a long time. These beans have sprouted and can be made into a dish for the soldiers, which can cure this disease."

Upon hearing this, the two who were initially puzzled immediately understood the reason.

Song Yanqing had previously instructed the Shadow Guards to collect seasonal vegetables from farmers in the short term for the soldiers to eat.

Even if it's just a drop in the ocean and can't supply an army of 70,000, it's better than doing nothing.

Unexpectedly, the beans in the grain camp were the 'medicine' they couldn't get no matter how hard they tried!

In that case, we should indeed be happy.

Song Yanqing was about to instruct An Yi to transport all the bean sprouts from the grain camp to the cooking camps of the three large camps to treat the soldiers' scurvy.

Before he could speak, he heard Lu Qiqi say, "Beans need three or four days to sprout at room temperature. Now that it's autumn and the weather is getting cooler, it will probably take five or six days for the bean sprouts to grow well."

Upon hearing this, Song Yanqing instructed, "An Yi, first send someone to check on the sprouting beans, and select the well-grown bean sprouts to transport back to the camp."

After An Yi accepted the order and left, Lu Qiqi and Song Yanqing left the tent together and headed to the cooking camp.

The green fruit arrived today. There are 30,000 soldiers in the camp, and it is impossible to distribute one to each of them.

Therefore, Lu Qiqi had already made a plan. She had the cooks wash the green fruit, remove the pits, crush it in a large stone mortar, and put it into the spiritual spring water that she had disguised as medicine.

In this way, when the green plums are made into juice, not only is there a large quantity so that everyone can have a cup, but the effects of the vitamins can also be enhanced by the use of spring water.

When they arrived at the cooking camp, they saw the brothers unloading the green fruit that Gu Shaoqing had brought.

Lu Qiqi saw him and walked over, smiling as she called out, "Young Master Gu is quick on his feet!"

Gu Shaoqing was talking to Zhang Yingtou when he heard a clear and melodious voice. He quickly turned around and saw Lu Qiqi and the man beside her.

He glanced at the other person and found him to be handsome, with an aura of his own, standing next to Lu Qiqi in a black robe with gold thread patterns.

People's first senses are always very sharp, especially for someone like Gu Shaoqing who travels the world.

Therefore, he assumed that the other party must be either rich or noble.

Upon seeing Song Yanqing, Zhang Yingtou immediately clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."

So it was the Crown Prince!

Gu Shaoqing then followed Zhang Yingtou in bowing respectfully, saying, "This humble subject greets Your Highness."

Song Yanqing naturally saw Gu Shaoqing and heard Lu Qiqi greet him skillfully, so he knew that the two must have known each other for quite some time!

He gave a light "hmm," and after a moment said, "No need for formalities."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After the two straightened up, Lu Qiqi introduced Gu Shaoqing to Song Yanqing.

She smiled and said, "Gu Shaoqing is the young manager of Tianlang Escort Agency. The Yunbian Wine Shop and today's green fruit were both transported by his escort agency."

Oh, right.

The young manager seems to be two years younger than you, yet he's already taken over all the affairs of the Tianlang Escort Agency. He's quite accomplished for his age.

In Lu Qiqi's eyes, Gu Shaoqing was a wealthy second-generation heir who wanted to carry on the family business his father had built.

Compared to Zhang Shiqiang, who only knew how to idle around, eat, drink, gamble, bully men and women, and squander money, he was so much better!

When Song Yanqing heard her praise Gu Shaoqing, she wished she could immediately investigate Gu Shaoqing's ancestors for eighteen generations.

He didn't show it on his face, but as he looked at the handsome, seven-foot-tall man in front of him, he kept pondering the two-year age difference that Lu Qiqi had mentioned.

When Gu Shaoqing heard Lu Qiqi praise him for his youthful talent, a blush appeared on his tanned face.

The three of them had different thoughts. Lu Qiqi watched as the soldiers in the cooking camp methodically mashed the green juice according to her method.

She then found Physician Ren, who was helping out in the cooking camp, and instructed him to make sure he took the medicine she had prepared the night before, in order to maximize its effects.
