Xiao Qi and Jinxiu glanced at each other suspiciously, didn't they say that they didn't eat it? Why are there still a few cauldrons where things are still boiling?

The two girls jumped off their horses in confusion, and tied them to a nearby tree, ready to take a closer look.

When I was about to enter, I smelled a sticky and fragrant smell of glutinous rice, could it really be boiled food?

Next, Xiao Qi finally knew why he was boiling these big pots of sticky rice.

As they approached, one of the pots of glutinous rice soup was being poured into the lime gravel not far away, constantly beating and disturbing the companions, and the lime and gravel that was stirred out after a while was actually sticky in the middle.

"Little aunt, why did they pour the glutinous rice soup into the lime gravel," Jinxiu looked at the villagers not far away who were stirring with a confused face, isn't such a good glutinous rice a waste?

Xiao Qi didn't understand it at first, but her common sense was still enough, and when she thought that glutinous rice was very sticky, she suddenly began to understand why she poured glutinous rice soup into the gravel.

It should have the same effect as cement, it is used as a binder, and the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated, although there is no such thing as cement, but they can still rely on their ingenuity to find another alternative item.

"It should be used to build a fence, glutinous rice is very sticky, mixed with sand and gravel and mixed with mixing and hammering can play a role in bonding bricks," Xiao Qi told Jinxiu the key points summarized.

Through the little aunt's explanation, Jinxiu also understood, the little aunt said that the glutinous rice is indeed very sticky, and the glutinous rice beaten by the father and brothers in the New Year can be drawn very long, and the glutinous rice cake made is very sticky.

People who are old like some old ladies and men with bad teeth can't eat glutinous rice cakes at all, otherwise, the few good teeth left may not be guaranteed.

The two girls walked around the construction place with great interest, and they would help when they encountered heavy objects, and Xiao Qi would generally help when he could take a handle.

……

At this time, after more than ten days of rushing for days and nights, they had arrived in Nankai Province, and they could arrive in Kyoto two days at the latest.

During this time, they encountered no less than five attacks, all of which ended in failure, and remained in the place of attack forever.

At the same time, in addition to hurrying, Wen also learned a more exquisite set of swordsmanship from Steward Xi, and would practice sword moves for half an hour every day during his break.

After these days of practice, coupled with the foundation of sword learning with Qiu Jing before, the sword moves have been practiced very proficiently, and they have basically achieved a thorough understanding.

Even if he meets a master, he now has the power to fight.

He already has deep internal strength, and his loss is due to his lack of experience in combat, but he already has the ability to protect himself.

At this time, they were in one of the best inns in the provincial capital of Nankai.

They had hardly rested for the past two days, and they had been on the road day and night, and now that they were in the provincial capital, it was time for everyone to rest for a while, and the horses were already very tired.

Steward Xi opened several rooms, and the carriages were parked in the courtyard on the side of the inn, where there were various sheds of all sizes, and there were special people to serve them.

As usual, everyone else is a room with several people, and the nurse Zhao has a room, and Steward Xi still accompanies the master in a room, so as to protect the master's safety.

In the room, Steward Xi accompanied the master to practice swordsmanship for half an hour, and the master's swordsmanship became more and more advanced day by day in his sparring.

It can be seen from this how demonic the master's talent is, if the master can have a good body when he is young, he must be a top master at this time.

Wen put down the sword in his hand, and flicked the long sword neatly into the scabbard.

took the face towel handed over by Steward Xi and wiped the sweat off his face with his hands.

Sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals on the side, he relieved himself and drank a bowl of warm water handed over by the butler.

"Steward Xi, you sit too."

Steward Xi obediently sat on the other side of the Eight Immortals table.

Wen Gu showed a very faint smile, "Does Steward Xi think the next part of the road will be smooth?" ”

Along the way, Wen Yiyi's hands were also stained with no less than five human lives, and these lives did make him practice.

From the moment he killed the first human life, that is, the barbarians who pretended to be the people of Dasang Kingdom, he had overcome the fear of killing people in his heart.

Maybe it's because the blood of the Wen family flows out of their bones is different, after killing the first person again, it's like opening some kind of shackles, and the blood of the Wen family comes out of their bones, and they even want to fight.

After pondering for a while, Steward Xi looked up at the master with a calm and unfathomable face.

"Master, the next road old slave thinks it won't be smooth, and it will be even more difficult."

"In the past few days, not counting the attacks in Beihuai Mansion, they have been attacked five times in different places, although each time they were able to turn the corner, and how many assassins were also captured? But these people are all dead soldiers, either gritting their teeth and taking poison to commit suicide, or no matter how much they lure the danger, they can't ask for any useful information.

Master, just because these dead soldiers did not go back to restore their lives, the people behind the scenes know that the master is fine, and he will definitely not give up, and now he is not far from Kyoto, they definitely don't want the master to enter Beijing, the old slave guesses that they will definitely fight hard in Nankai Province, and want to leave us here completely. ”

Steward Xi's words made Wen Su nod, what Steward Xi said was exactly what he thought, if Nankai Province couldn't keep him, there would be fewer opportunities in the future, after all, after Nankai Province, it would be Kyoto Tianyang, and it would not be so easy to do it after arriving in Kyoto.

After some conversation, it was already evening, and Wen told the steward Xi to ask for more delicious food for dinner, to make up for his subordinates, so that they could rest well at night, and sleep to their heart's content today, and not rush to the night, and the people and horses were full of spirit and set off again tomorrow morning.

There will definitely be a tough battle to be fought at that time, and these people will definitely send more elite assassins to form a group to besiege them.

No matter who this person is, he is too ruthless, and he is still a weak person to the outside, but even though he is a weak person, these people don't want to let him go.

Thinking of this, there was a little cold light in his eyes, and he looked at the tea bowl in his hand with a force, and the tea bowl was crushed into slag by him with internal force.

Steward Xi's heart tightened when he saw the slag, and he hurriedly looked at the master worriedly, "Master, are you okay?" ”

Wen shook his head, said lightly, "It's okay" and stretched out his hand to wipe the debris in his hand, the palm was still white, and there was no wound.

Seeing this, the steward Xi relieved his heart, looking at the scum on the table, needless to say, the master must have thought of the mastermind behind the scenes, thinking of this, the steward Xi's eyes were dark, and his eyes were full of anger, no matter who he wanted to hurt the little master, he would not let it go.

Steward Xi, who put away the lust in his eyes, looked out the window at the sky and got up and said, "The master is not early, I'll go down and make arrangements, you can rest for a while." ”

Wen Gu raised his peach blossom eyes and nodded lightly at Steward Xi, watching Steward Xi walk out of the door and watching the door being closed.

After a while, Wen Gu took out a simple cloth bag from his body, and touched the medicine bottle in the cloth belt through the cloth bag.

Along the way, thanks to Xiao Qi's antidote, hemostatic medicine, their casualties were minimized.

These people do everything they can, they are despicable, and in the last two assassinations, even the poison was used, and thanks to Xiao Qi's foresight, one pill went down to the poison gas completely, and the effect was very amazing.
