Chapter 484

"Your Highness, it seems that we can only rest in this forest tonight." Killing Sword looked at Dao. Qin Xi wiped his sweat in his single clothes and said, "Okay, let's stop here today, tell the brothers, prepare to go up the tree to rest, and don't forget to sprinkle sulfur." "And they went up to the tree, and before they went up the tree, they scattered the sulphur under the tree, and when they got up the tree, they also smeared some sulphur on themselves, and although they said that it did not smell good, they could sleep peacefully, otherwise they might die if they fell asleep.

When Qin Xi went up the tree, he happened to see a giant python, and the giant python also happened to see Qin Xi, and actually rushed directly towards Qin Xi.

Qin Xi pulled out the Qin knife violently, and the knife fell in his hand, cutting off the head of the giant python in an instant. The sound startled everyone, and when the killing sword just came over, he happened to see the head of the snake falling from the tree, which was bigger than his two fists.

Then the giant python's huge body also fell, and even crushed many branches. When everyone gathered around, they were all shocked by the corpse of the giant python on the ground.

Qin Xi jumped down from the tree and said, "Let's see if you can make a fire and eat snake meat tonight." Zhang Tie came out and said, "Leave it to me to deal with, I have dealt with snake meat, this snake blood is sprinkled around, so that many things in the forest dare not approach." ”

"I heard that this snake blood is a great tonic, leave me some." A soldier said with a smile.

"Okay." However, Qin Xi said: "No one is allowed to drink snake blood, if you want to make up for it, eat snake gall bladder." The blood of the snake is not clean, and if you drink it, you will die. ”

"Your Highness, no, I also drank it when I was in Shudi." Zhang Tie said.

"It's an order!" Qin Xi was too lazy to explain for a day, so he directly gave an order, and even if he explained, it couldn't be explained.

"No!" Since it is an order, those present can only obey it. This huge python, it took more than a dozen people to lift it up.

Zhang Tie's hands and feet were also sharp, he processed the snake meat before dark, and then asked someone to sprinkle the snake's blood around.

After a while, a burst of meat fragrance wafted from the dense forest with a faint flickering firelight. Killing Sword jumped onto the tree and handed a piece of snake meat to Qin Xi.

"Your Highness, I've been out for almost two years, and I'm about to walk out of my Great Qin's border, can we find the tree Your Highness said?" Killing Sword asked.

Qin Xi sighed and said, "If you can't find it, there's no way, we can only say that we don't have that life for the time being." ”

"Isn't there anything to replace that kind of tree?" Killing Sword frowned and asked.

"Yes, but I won't make it. And along the way, I've been trying to find a tree that can replace that kind of tree, but apparently I've failed. Qin Xi said helplessly.

After being silent for a while, Killing Sword said: "Your Highness, I think we should go back, after staying in this kind of ghost place for such a long time, these people below are obviously a little unbearable. Qin Xi looked down at everyone, more than a dozen people were around a small fire, there used to be talking and laughing, but now there was no sound, just sitting there with their heads covered and eating snake meat.

Qin Xi nodded and said, "Three more days, if we still can't find it after three days, we'll go back." Killing Sword nodded, then rested against the trunk of the tree.

After the fire was extinguished, everyone went up to the tree and rested on it. When he first entered the forest, many people were not used to sleeping on trees, and Qin Xi, who had no choice, could only go to the county town to make a hammock.

But then the hammock broke, and I couldn't sleep in the hammock and could only continue to sleep on the tree, and over time, everyone got used to sleeping on the tree.

Qin Xi rested until midnight tonight, but he couldn't sleep at all. Sitting on the tree and watching everyone sleep quietly on the tree, I still felt a little guilty in my heart.

It has been so long since he brought them out, far away from his homeland, away from his family, eating dry food, eating wild fruits and drinking dew in this deserted woods, Qin Xi is also very guilty in his heart.

Looking up at the starry sky, Qin Xi found that he might not always be lucky. Qin Xi glanced at the killing sword and saw that the killing sword did not wake up, so he turned over and went down the tree.

And at the moment when Qin Xi turned over, the eyes of the killing sword opened, but they quickly closed again.

Qin Xi came to the ground and walked slowly in the forest humming a little song in his mouth. Unconsciously, Qin Xi walked to the place where Zhang Tie was dealing with the python, and it happened to be in front of a very tall tree that was not thick or thin.

When Zhang Tie dealt with it before, there was no place to put the dagger, so he stuck the dagger in the tree, and there was a small opening in all the trees.

Under the dim vision, Qin Xi found that the white liquid flowing from the tree seemed to be what he was looking for.

Qin Xi hurriedly took out the gourd on his waist, then inserted it with the prepared glass tube, and put the gourd underneath to catch the liquid.

Qin Xi sat on the ground beside him, waiting quietly. It wasn't until dawn that Qin Xi filled the gourd.

"Your Highness, is this the tree you're looking for?" Killing Sword walked over and said.

"I don't know yet." Qin Xi picked up the gourd as he spoke, poured out the water inside, and then squinted his eyes and looked inside, directly in the gourd.

Qin Xi directly split the gourd, reached out and grabbed the layer of things, and the feeling of starting it was like a glue block.

Qin Xi's heart suddenly rejoiced, and said, "Is it crooked, we may have found it!" Qin Xi hurriedly began to process the lump in his hand, only when it was dealt with, Qin Xi could be sure that this was the rubber tree he was looking for, who made himself not a student object.

······ At a time when Qin Xi made major discoveries, Great Qin was also undergoing major changes.

With the vacancies left by the clan and some old ministers who could not keep up with the times being replaced by a new batch of officials who came out of the imperial examinations, the development of Great Qin can be said to be changing with each passing day.

The most intuitive manifestation is that the treasury of Great Qin is being replenished at a speed that is visible to the naked eye. The speed at which the decrees of the imperial court reach the people has also been greatly improved, and so on.

The effect of these changes was that Great Qin's regime was more stable, and the First Emperor had much less to worry about.

Now the most worrying thing for the First Emperor is the crown prince Qin Xi. As the crown prince, Qin Xi has been away from Xianyang for more than two years.

The most recent news appeared three months ago in a small border county town in the south.

The crown prince is related to the future of the Great Qin world, so the prince's disappearance for more than two years has made some officials and even the people full of worries.

However, it is Qin Xi's wives who are even more worried. Bai Muxue had already given birth to a girl baby for Qin Xi, but unfortunately Qin Xi couldn't come back that day to hug his child.
