Sicily, the governor's palace of Palermo. Dian Qing quickly came to the hall in a few steps and saw a man wearing a red robe and armor facing his back to him, saying, "Lord..."

As soon as he said two words, the man turned around, which made Dian Qing stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly in surprise: "Brother Zilong, are you here too? When did you arrive?"

The one who came was Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, the leader of the eight good generals of the founding country of Daliang. Zhao Yun was also surprised to see that it was Dian Qing and said: "Brother Dian Qing, we haven't seen each other for more than two years. I didn't expect that the first old acquaintance I met here was you."

"Two years are not long, it's far worse than the time we left the Central Plains. When did we leave the Central Plains? Alas, I even forgot the year name at that time."

Zhao Yun smiled slightly and said, "Don't mention the year number at that time, I don't know which year it is now. The eldest son of the Central Plains is now the throne and rule, and the year number must have been changed long ago. The Persian Mansion of Lianghe Prefecture still uses the year number at that time."

"The calendar used here is the Julian calendar, which uses the AD. This year is 228 AD."

Zhao Yun then asked, "Agenda? Is the reign of the Roman emperor?"

Dian Qing shook his head and said, "In the early years, even now, the rest of Rome used the year when a king ruled seven or eight hundred years ago as the beginning of the year. But in the AD, the founder of a religion, Jesus, was the beginning of the year. Because there were many believers in Sicily, the lord said that this year would be used as the beginning of the year. Moreover, this lord was very easy to remember for the history of the Central Plains. Because it happened to be the time when the East and the Han dynasties were alternating. The lord also said that this lord would sooner or later become a universal lord for the whole world."

Zhao Yun then nodded with a sudden realization: "So that's it."

The two exchanged a few more words before they talked about the main business. Dian Qing then realized that Zhao Yun came by boat from Wucha Port in Lianghe Prefecture by boat and arrived in Palermo this morning. Dian Qing found that Zhao Yun's hair had begun to turn gray and sighed, "Hey, lord is too. At the age of Brother Zilong, it should be time to return home and enjoy the rest of his life. Even if he is called, he should summon some young juniors."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun became a little unhappy after hearing this and continued, "Brother Dian Qing is not much younger than someone. If you can come, why can't I come?"

Dian Qing said with a speechless voice: "I...I am different from you. My life was saved by my lord back then, and I will be with you in this life. For me, I have no impression of my hometown anymore, and there is no such thing as the leaves falling back to the roots. So I brought my family and my family will be settled here. In the future, unless the lord goes to a very far place, I will be buried in this Rome when I am buried in the future."

Zhao Yun laughed and said, "I am the same. My family is already in Lianghe Prefecture. This time I brought it to the Great Qin State together. In addition, some old brothers are also coming here, which is a little later. However, you misunderstood. We are not emphasized by the emperor. His orders to the generals stationed in Lianghe Prefecture, Persian Prefecture, and Tianzhu Prefecture are to come if you are willing to come, and those who are willing to return to their hometown to retire will return to their hometown to retire."

When Dian Qing saw Zhao Yun mention Feng Yu, he remembered the important matter he had come here and said, "Zilong, the lord has an order. At most, we can only call him the lord, and we can no longer call him the lord. In fact, here, except for the slaves and I in the mansion, they all call him the lord's official position in the Roman Kingdom. By the way, how long have you been waiting here? Why didn't you see the lord come out?"

Before Zhao Yun could answer, a servant from the Governor's Office came out and said, "I just learned that the Governor left the mansion early in the morning and went to Sicily Academy to inspect."

Dian Qing slapped his thigh and said, "Hi! The lord always likes to hang out with those old masters! I have important things to report to him. Let's go to the university to find the lord." He said as he pulled Zhao Yun to the door.

When they found Feng Yu at the University of Sicily, Feng Yu was discussing scriptures and discussions with a group of natural science scientists in a large classroom. In fact, Feng Yu presented some knowledge points that he learned in his previous classroom and can now be remembered in his mind. Although this knowledge is not systematic, it may give these scholars a huge role in guiding and inspiring.

Feng Yu was also very surprised to see that Zhao Yun came. But before he could greet Zhao Yun, Dian Qing said hurriedly: "Lord, I have something to report to you. Alexander General Douglas has detained him!"

Dian Qing thought Feng Yu would be shocked by the news, but he expected that Feng Yu seemed to be indifferent to it and said calmly: "Let's talk about it in detail. What does it mean to detain him? Should he stay under His Majesty Alexander's command or detain him. If it were the former, it would be no big deal. This Glass was the person sent by Alexander to me, so it would be considered as the original owner."

Dian Qing said: "This...of course, it means staying. He made such a great contribution. What is the reason to imprison him? However, Alexander also arranged our nearly five thousand men, including riding ostrich, longbow chariot, heavy cavalry, and even various crossbows to the guards under his command. He did this! Lord... Lord, aren't you angry? This is a letter he sent to his lord."

Dian Qing said while presenting the letter to Feng Yu. Feng Yu took it and saw that Alexander was polite in the letter. It showed that he urgently needed to improve the level of weapons and equipment and the quality of soldiers, so he temporarily assigned Feng Yu to the Apennines to be under his command. In addition, he also begged Feng Yu to get him a large amount of excellent weapons, including individual crossbows. Of course, these were not for nothing, but were willing to spend a lot of money to buy them. He just wanted Feng Yu to find a way to find a channel.

After reading it, Feng Yu returned the letter to Dian Qing, and asked the servants beside him to prepare pens and ink for him and began to write a reply to Alexander. Dian Qing glanced at the letter that Feng Yu returned to him in confusion and said in surprise: "What? They also want us to get them a lot of equipment of the same level as our army. This, lord, you agree to them, too?"

Feng Yu laughed and said, "Of course, what's the reason for not making money? And I have another condition, which is to let him issue an imperial edict to divide the 20-mile radius on both sides of the Suez Canal into a special canal area and be stationed by the Sicily Legion. This way, the east-west waterways can be smooth. Otherwise, how can these weapons be transported in conveniently?"

In the early years, when Liang State assisted Rome in quelling the war of Macrinus, according to the agreement between Liang State and Alexander, the Suez Canal was temporarily managed by Liang State for several years. But now the canal has been returned to Rome and is jointly managed by the Egyptian provinces and the Jewish provinces.
