The reserve of the swill bucket was obviously not enough, so I put my hands on my chin for fear of leaking.
Upon seeing this, Chen Kuang took back the bowl and was surprised to find that the bottom of the bowl was empty.
This amount of food...
Being able to survive five days in prison without starving to death is truly an incredible feat.
Mrs. Liang Guo knelt down and wiped her little princess' chin lovingly.
The little princess puffed out her cheeks and looked at her mother with her round black eyes. She pointed proudly at her own mouth and then at Mrs. Liang Guo's.
The eyes are very expectant.
Mrs. Liang Guo was confused: "This is...?"
Chen Kuang twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "She probably wants to... spit out the rice in her mouth to you and let you eat it."
Mrs. Liang Guo was stunned for a moment and imagined that scene.
Mrs. Liang Guo's beautiful face turned pale.
Mrs. Liang Guo slapped the little princess so hard that the rice vomited out.
"Ugh...wow!"
The little princess vomited all over the floor and cried very sadly.
Probably because he really didn't understand his filial piety, he relied on his cleverness to trick his mother into getting a porridge from the neighbor next door. Why, instead of being grateful, her mother gave her a big blow.
Mrs. Liang Guo coaxed her daughter dumbfounded.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault, but you can't spit out the food in your mouth and give it to others..."
"Why? But my father often asked the elder sister who played the flute to feed him the grapes in her mouth."
Mrs. Liang Guo's face suddenly turned gloomy.
Little Swill Tong probably realized that he had made his mother unhappy, so he comforted her:
"It's okay, my father has my eldest sister to feed me, and my mother has me to feed her!"
She was full of confidence: "The blind man next door was so easy to fool, I'll do it again next time!"
Mrs. Liang Guo: "..."
Chen Kuang: "..."
Mrs. Liang Guo pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes looked from the filth on the ground to Chen Kuang, and the smile on her face turned into worry.
"Mr. Chen...if you are from the Zhou Kingdom, you don't need to act anymore."
"The people of Zhou are cold-blooded. If you can't find out the news, they may want to kill the donkey."
The beautiful woman hesitated for a moment and whispered:
"If you... if you really need to communicate, I do know a secret that maybe not many people know, and I can tell you."
"It can be regarded as repaying your kindness with a meal."
Chen Kuang shook his head:
"I have said that there is no such thing as repaying a favor in this world. We are already clean, so my wife does not need to repay me."
After passively obtaining "Bigu", this bowl of porridge is no longer necessary.
Although it seemed to Mrs. Liang Guo that it was another sacrifice, to him, this move was not the second attempt to repay a favor.
Besides, the best way to deal with this naive and weak little woman is to retreat instead of advance.
He shrugged and said sadly:
"And unfortunately, I am not a spy. Even if I use the secret to claim credit, the people of Zhou will not let me live."
"After today... I hope Madam will take good care of herself."
Mrs. Liang Guo was startled, and she didn't know whether she was happy or disappointed.
She actually... somewhat hoped that Chen Kuang was really a spy of the Zhou Kingdom.
This way at least he can survive.
Although they only had contact for one day, for her, Chen Kuang did give her hope and care in the darkest moment.
Even if it might be fake...
But now that this bowl of decapitated rice is delivered, Chen Kuang may only have a few days to live.
The Zhou people punished them in every possible way. Except for Huo Hengxuan, no one who was taken away could survive three days.
Of course she didn't know that Chen Kuang, who was now basically a humanoid elixir, would be found to be abnormal once interrogated, and his end might be thousands of times worse.
That's why he chose to take risks and divert the attention of the monitor first, while creating some value for himself.
Chen Kuang was so magnanimous and relieved.
Mrs. Liang Guo felt even more uncomfortable because she had misunderstood...
Thinking of Chen Kuang's previous kindness to repay her that she couldn't even remember, he gave up the life-saving rations without hesitation.
She lowered her head in shame and said:
"I am still a wife now. If Mr. Chen doesn't mind me, my real name is Chu Wenruo, and I have an elder brother at home. Sir, you can just call me Zhongniang."
Meng, Zhong, Shu, Ji are the names of brothers and sisters.
Chu Wenruo also had an eldest brother in his family, the second eldest brother, so he called himself Zhong Niang.
Chen Kuang smiled and followed the good advice:
"Zhong Niang."
Chu Wenruo hadn't heard this title for a long time, and he felt a little dazed for a moment, but he seemed to have broken free from some shackles, and felt inexplicably relieved.
She forced a smile:
"Mr. Chen, I think you didn't have this bowl of rice in the first place. It was me who caused trouble for you."
"This secret may not be what Zhou people want, but it should be able to save your life. Whether you need it or not...just listen to it to relieve your boredom."
Chen Kuang's eyes subconsciously fell on the hazy halos on Mrs. Liang Guo's body.
He actually wanted to know very much, what did these represent?
Chu Wenruo whispered: "This secret is actually this prison."
Um?
Chen Kuang raised his eyebrows. Although it was completely different from what he thought, it seemed to be more important.
"The Liang Kingdom has a heavy culture, but its army is not strong. The Lingtai Mountain practitioners who protect the country have also been hiding from the world all year round. They have been able to stand firm for many years. In addition to General Huo's bravery and skill in fighting, there is actually another important reason."
"This has almost become a legend - the reason why the Liang Kingdom was able to establish a country is because two powerful practitioners once sat here. Their immortal bodies merged into the earth, turning into thousands of miles of water, thousands of miles of fertile soil, and a protective barrier.
The national barrier cannot be broken, and the imperial city of Liang will be protected for many years."
"But actually, it's true."
"These two great masters are here to suppress an ancient demon whose cultivation reaches the heavens."
Chu Wenruo pointed to the ground:
"Just below this Heavenly Prison, there is another prison called the 'Demon Suppressing Prison'."
Chen Kuang's eyebrows twitched and he asked: "That demon...is still alive?"
Isn't this situation more complicated than he thought? Could this be Zhou Guo's purpose? What does it have to do with the longevity medicine?
Chu Wenruo blinked and nodded:
"Well, he's still alive."
She looked at the empty cell next to her again:
"When the Zhou Dynasty invaded, General Huo was being impeached by a group of civil servants. He was forced to hand over the Tiger Talisman and was unable to mobilize troops. But even if there was no army formation and a barrier, it could actually guarantee that the imperial city would not fall so quickly.
.”
Chu Wenruo sighed:
"On that day, General Huo resisted the order and mobilized more than a thousand of his men to defend the city gate. He was hit by hundreds of arrows and did not fall down. He held the dragon flag high and frightened the enemy troops back ten feet!"
"With such courage, we could have gone all out and relied on the imperial city barrier to revive our morale and fight back."
"but……"
Chen Kuang seemed to have understood something, narrowed his eyes and said:
"Is there a mole?"
Chu Wenruo said nothing and acquiesced.
Huo Hengxuan was able to drive back the enemy troops with his own strength, but he was unable to stop the Dukes of Gongun who were hiding behind him from fighting and ordered the city gates to be opened wide.
So that’s it.
No wonder that old guy looks cynical and hates everything in the world.
Anyone who is subjected to such a situation will have their psychology twisted...
However, judging from previous contacts, Huo Hengxuan is obviously not that crazy.
Chen Kuang instantly remembered how the old guy suddenly screamed wildly when he was taken away, and his pupils instantly contracted.
Not crazy? Why are you pretending?
The old man reached out and grabbed the railing...last night he spent a long time rubbing against the railing like a monkey!
Chen Kuang remained silent, then suddenly took a few steps back and leaned on the railing shared by both sides near the cell on the left.
He pretended to rest and slowly slid down.
Putting his palms against the railing, he suddenly paused.
