Chapter 13: Wontons

After Su Jing said this, my sword qi dispersed again, and I could only stay in the Black Forest for another day, and we continued to travel west in the evening, and finally passed through the Black Forest when night fell, and I saw the lights under my feet, Su Jing said: "That's the border of Hejis." ”

After only a few miles forward, the large patches on the ground suddenly increased, and from the air, it was like ashes poured in the dark night, and I didn't need Su Jing to say that it was a large number of military camps, and there were more and more bright spots like this, and they were slowly moving eastward.

Su Jing said: "Hegis is gathering troops at night, and it seems that the report is true. ”

After 10 minutes, we stopped on a city tower to rest, two soldiers patrolling the city walked towards us with torches, and when they were about to find us, Su Jing waved her hand to knock them unconscious, she picked up the torch and stuck it on the pheasant moat at the head of the city, and put her hand around the fire to keep warm. I suddenly thought of a question and asked Su Jingdao, "Haven't you thought about attacking Ma Jiyue before?" ”

Su Jing shook his head slightly.

"Why?"

"I haven't even been to the capital of Hegis before, thousands of miles from my daughter country to Hejis, if you blindly fly, the loss of sword qi is too great, and I don't care about sneaking in, in short, I always feel that assassination and assassination are not bright, and even if it succeeds, it can't solve the fundamental problem."

I said, "Then why did you agree again this time?" ”

Su Jing said: "This time is different, the two of us came to Ma Jiyue openly, in fact, to put it bluntly, what we want to achieve is a deterrent effect, we want to let the emperor of Hegis know that if he doesn't obey his surname for a day, there will be no guarantee, and there is a strange saying in the art of war, we are not a miracle soldier." ”

I nodded and said, "This is what Shi Cundao said about checks and balances. ”

Su Jing said: "So the main force of this operation is you, although we are fast if we continue like this, I am afraid that there is not much sword qi left when we arrive in the capital, and the shrimp soldiers and crabs will deal with me, and the masters around Ma Jiyue will be handed over to you." ”

"I once had a relationship with Ma Jiyue, and there don't seem to be any masters around him."

"Don't take it lightly, I guess there must be one or two Sword Saints by his side, he can send Lu Renjia to assassinate you, how can he not keep a master? Not surprisingly, Wei Wou-Ki has already voted in Ma Jiyue's name. ”

"Wei Wuji has been scared by me, and he is going to settle accounts with him!"

At this time, someone below suddenly shouted and asked, "Who is it?" "It seems that the sound of our conversation has alarmed the defenders of the city.

Su Jing walked to the city wall with his hands behind his back and looked down, and when he saw that it was not his own people, he was in an uproar: "There is a thin annihilation!" Before the words fell, more than a dozen feather arrows were shot up, Su Jing brushed his sleeves away, and asked me, "Are you okay, let's go." ”

I jumped into the air, spat down, and said, "Phew, have you ever seen such a jade tree in the wind?" ”

The soldiers defending the city were in a big mess, and someone blurted out; "It's the sword god Stitch!" There are also humanitarians: "Go and tell the general!" Immediately, someone said vigilantly: "No, I'm afraid that Stitchai is here for the general!" ”

Su Jing said with a smile: "With the lessons of Chen Zhiyuan and Tan Tailang, everyone knows to beware of your move." ”

I couldn't help but spit down again: "Your general is a fart and still worth my killing?" ”

Su Jing and I walked away, leaving only a group of soldiers shouting and shouting.

"Our whereabouts are exposed, aren't you afraid that Ma Jiyue will hide if he gets the letter?"

Su Jing smiled and said: "Then it depends on whose speed is faster, from here to the capital, it will take at least ten days and half a month to speed up, and we will already succeed at that time." ”

To put it simply, the two of us worked tirelessly to fly through the night, and when the sky was about to dawn, we came to a place called "Qicheng", Su Jing took out the map and glanced at it and said: "The capital of Hegis is just west of Qicheng, and I am afraid that we can reach it around dawn." ”

"Then let's talk about it in one go?"

"Okay, let's go!" She spoke strongly, but she looked tired, and flew forward for a moment, and several times she staggered.

I just wanted to persuade her to take a break, but Su Jing suddenly pointed to the front and said, "It's here!" ”

Directly below us, a majestic city stands there, and above the city gate, there are three big words: "New Beijing".

I wondered, "It turns out that the capital of Haggis is in the new capital, and I don't know where the old capital is?" ”

Su Jing glanced at me and said, "There is no old capital, this place is called Xinjing." I think we'd better find out where the palace is first, and it's not too late to rest for a day or two before we act. ”

"I agree, especially the most important thing is to find something to eat first, I'm not a squirrel, the little pine nuts in my stomach have been on the top for a day and a night."

"Don't alarm anyone, we're there to land." Su Jing pointed to a street where no one was there.

At this point, we finally arrived at Xinjing, the capital of Heggis, and the two sword gods flew for two days and two nights. I saw that the attic of the house here is different from Hong Lie and the daughter country, every brick and tile is built according to extremely strict specifications, compared to the beauty of the daughter country and the simplicity of Hong Lie, the building of Haggis seems to be weather-strict, the imperial city of this great empire is really majestic, and the ordinary alleys and streets are already like this, it is difficult to imagine what the palace will look like.

At this time, it was already dawn, and the people on the street began to travel, Su Jing and I turned a corner and were suddenly attracted by a burst of fragrance, and someone on the side of the street was carrying a load of wontons to sell, I was overjoyed: "Stall!" Hurriedly rushed up and said to the boss, "Two bowls of wontons." ”

Probably the opening business, the middle-aged man was particularly enthusiastic to put down the small square table and bench, from the bucket in front of the head of a bowl of wontons handed to me, I picked up a pair of chopsticks and ate and sucked, and when he turned around and scooped out the second bowl of wontons to Su Jing, I handed over the empty bowl: "Another bowl." ”

Don't look at Su Jing's delicate eating, the speed is not slower than me at all, the man just put my bowl and turned his face Su Jing also raised the bowl: "I'll have another bowl too." ”

The man was stunned, this hand handed the wonton to me and the hand took the empty bowl, not to mention, this wonton skin is thin and the filling is big and strong, I praised while eating: "The taste is not bad, but I give a little less." ”

The boss smiled and said: "The guest officer said that he laughed, our wontons are famous in this area, and the average person has a bowl that is enough to last half a day......"

I flipped the bottom of the bowl over: "Less nonsense, another bowl." ”

"Eh, you eat slowly, don't get burned."

I just moved the chopsticks Su Jingna also showed the empty bowl, this time I don't have to wait for her to tell the boss to skillfully go to the bucket again...... That's it, the two of us eat the boss's side of the scoop, the pot-bellied Maitreya around the thousand-armed Guanyin, this one eats fast and the other scoops fast, this meal has to be eaten to a continuation of the past and the future is not allowed, the result is that when the two of us eat the thirteenth bowl, it finally aroused the boss's vigilance - but can anyone who can afford to spend money eat like this?

When I handed the bowl over again, the boss hesitated to say while serving the soup: "The two of you ate fourteen bowls, a total of 28 big money, that ......"

I was displeased: "What are you talking about, I'm afraid we can't afford it?" ”

"It's not ...... But ......"

I touched Su Jing with my arm: "You settle the account for someone first." "Although I'm in a foreign country, I don't worry about the currency, anyway, I can recognize real money anywhere.

How do you know that Su Jing said: "I didn't bring any money, you knot." ”

"Huh?" I stopped my chopsticks and whispered, "I didn't bring them either." ”

Su Jing was stunned for a moment and said, "What should I do then?" ”

"Why don't you bring money when you go out with such a big sword god?"

"What about you?"

"I'm a dignified left former general who came out of the camp, what am I doing with money? Have you seen a general fighting with a few hundred taels of silver on his body, and when the two armies are facing each other, do you use it to recruit the enemy general? ”

Su Jing argued: "Then I'm not from home, and I don't have the habit of bringing money when I'm at homeβ€”β€”"

"And what if you want to buy something?"

"Someone will help me pay, even if I don't bring an entourage, I can keep the account first-everyone in my daughter's country knows me."

"Are you going to brush your face or the dishes?"

Su Jing's face turned red: "Don't be poor, what should I do if I say it quickly?" "I've never seen her like this in the face of thousands of troops, which is called a penny stumbling a hero!

I said, "Don't squeak, eat two more bowls of him!" ”

Su Jing was thin-skinned and pushed the bowl aside embarrassed to eat...... The boss had already seen that something was wrong at this time, and reluctantly smiled: "Is there something wrong with the two of you?" ”

I casually handed the bowl over again, and interrupted, "Let me ask you about something, do you know how to get to the palace?" ”

"It's not close to here, to the west after the Ximen Cave and have to walk for another half a day to arrive, that is, a general direction, we ordinary people have not been there, why do you ask this?"

I hurried to finish the wontons in the bowl and asked Su Jing in a low voice, "Can you still go?" ”

Su Jing said nervously: "Okay, what are you going to do?" ”

"What else can you do, run!" Saying that, I put the bowl down, a sword aura went down, and my body was already floating in the air, while shouting at the boss Hehe: "That, remember the account first, and we'll send it to you when we turn around." ”

Obviously, the boss was guarding against my move, and he didn't look at my move and pounced on Su Jing first, probably thinking about whether the girl could run fast or not, grab one first, and then say, as a result, Su Jing volleyed into the air and hung in the sky. The boss looked up at the two of us, sat on the ground, and said with a crying voice; "I knew that the two of them had a background - how could the average person eat fifteen bowls of wontons!"

Su Jing apologized: "It's really inconvenient for us today, and we will definitely double it back another day." ”

The boss lay on the ground and kowtowed: "Don't dare, don't dare, the little one just asks the two immortals to bless our family with many blessings and longevity." "It's treating us both like goblins.

"If you want money, go to the palace and find us." After saying that, I pulled Su Jing and walked west, but fortunately, there was no one on this street, only the wonton stall owner watched us leave...... Su Jing was entangled: "It's a shame, the two sword gods Hu Lai people have wonton money." ”

I comforted her, "It's okay, this is also a consumption of the enemy's food, and the people of Hegis are our enemies." Speaking of this, my face suddenly changed, "It's bad, it's nothing to rely on people's money, and it will be a shame if two people eat fifteen bowls of wontons in the future, is this a sword god or a rice bucket?" ”

Su Jing smiled and said, "Think about it, the two of us are indeed enough to eat." ”

"The problem is that I haven't eaten enough, and I can eat at least two bowls when I let go."

Su Jing: "......"

I snapped my fingers and said: "Yes, in ancient times, there were eighteen bowls of Wu Erlang who went up the mountain to fight tigers, and now there are two sword gods and fifteen bowls of wontons to capture horses in the west, and it is a good story to spread to future generations." ”

Su Jing said faintly: "If I knew this, it would be better to run after the surname Suo has eaten enough." ”

"You haven't eaten enough?"

Su Jing blushed and said, "I can still eat two more bowls of ......."
