Chapter 557

The three brought Yuan'er to a shaded tree with few people and sat cross-legged.There are many people in this city, and some hawkers saw business opportunities and came to sell some snacks and groceries.Mr. Guan borrowed a few bowls from the peddler, and distributed some of the bean soup he carried with him to Uncle Song and Xiao Hezi.Uncle Song felt sorry for his grandson, so he asked Yuan'er to drink first.Yuan'er was naughty, and pushed the bowl away after taking a sip, yelling for noodles.Little Hezi spent two copper coins to buy Yuan'er a face monkey.Yuan'er was satisfied with the toy, and sat down by the tree to entertain himself.Uncle Song was free now, and patiently listened to Mr. Guan's story with Xiao Hezi.

"Just now I heard the two of you chatting about the red-waisted princess?" Mr. Guan said with a smile.

Xiao Hezi patted his thigh: "Hey, Mr. Guan, look at the people coming and going, who doesn't say that the red-waisted princess is amazing? This is the hottest topic in recent days. The red fin Qinglin is so poisonous Snakes can't hurt her at all, isn't that unusual? Mr. Guan, tell me, is it possible that this red-waisted princess is really the blood of the Dragon Goddess?"

Mr. Guan pondered: "Whether she is the blood of the Dragon Goddess, I really can't say for sure. If you want to talk about bloodlines, the previous leaders are the bloodlines left by the serious Dragon Goddess. Although the red-waisted princess has made great contributions to protecting the country, her background is also different." It is very clear that she was born in Zhaoyin and grew up in Zhaoyin. In detail, it has nothing to do with our Dragon God Empress. But as the old saying goes, there is no wave without wind. Since she dares to call herself the son of Dragon God in front of everyone, maybe there is something behind it A little-known secret..."

Uncle Song shook his head and said, "I don't look like it. When the red-waisted princess announced her identity, didn't you pay attention to the reaction of the leader of the gods? Although I can't see the expression of the leader of the gods clearly from a distance, but I listen, There seems to be suspicion inside and outside the words of God's leader..."

Xiao Hezi immediately waved his hand and said: "No way, this righteous sister was also appointed by the Lord God himself. If you really doubted her, how could you give her such a generous reward? There are too many things in the royal family. Let's How can ordinary people guess it? Besides, the red-waisted princess also said that there are two branches of the dragon god's veins, which is not denying the identity of the god leader. Maybe the god leader is greedy for power and position, which is why he is afraid that the red-waisted princess' real body will also appear. maybe."

Mr. Guan nodded in approval and said: "Xiao Hezi's words are reasonable. If you say that the red-waisted princess was quite accomplished when she was in Zhaoyin, she was a fearless master. This liar has long been exposed. What's more, I have seen a lot of strange things in the past few days, and I really have to believe that there is really another mystery behind this red-waisted princess."

Xiao Hezi said with a smile: "Mr. Guan, don't be tricky, talk quickly, what's so strange about it?"

Mr. Guan smiled lightly and asked, "Let me ask you, how many days can a person live without eating?"

Xiao Hezi scratched his head: "That's what caught me, I'm young and inexperienced, how do I know this?"

Uncle Song thought for a while, and said: "When I was young, I experienced several famines... At that time, there were droughts and pests, and there was no harvest. Hundreds of people died of starvation. If there were bark mice to satisfy their hunger, they might still be able to suffer." It will take longer. If you don’t let them eat anything... it’s probably only seven or eight days.”

Mr. Guan nodded: "Yes, what if you don't eat or drink? How long can you last?"

Uncle Song is embarrassing: "I... I don't know about this. Mr. Guan, you know a lot, teach us."

Mr. Guan pretended to be mysterious and said: "My cousin used to be the prison leader of the Tuotan people. You know the Yuanzheng Empire. They are all murderous people who love to play with prisoners of war. I heard that they wanted to have fun. , tied several prisoners of war to the pillars, fed only dry food every day, and did not give a drop of water to drink. They wanted to find out how many days a person could live without drinking water. The results were without exception, and the longest one did not carry it for three days Half."

Xiao Hezi suddenly thought of something, and asked suspiciously: "But it's been seven days, isn't Xiao Yunxi still alive?"

Uncle Song thought for a while and said, "Perhaps this Prince Regent Xiao is exceptionally powerful? I heard that he is very skilled in martial arts, maybe he can support him for a longer time than ordinary people?"

Mr. Guan shook his hand: "Before the Tuotars harassed our country, they fought against Zhaoyin many times, and captured more than one master? No matter how top masters are, they are human beings like us. They can survive for four years without eating or drinking at most. Day. It is not the first time that Heavenly Punishment has been carried out, and the results of each time are recorded in the book. Except for the earliest generation, the Dragon Goddess personally cast a spell to save a sinner who was subjected to Heavenly Punishment. Losing water is faster, no matter how powerful a person is, they can't survive for three days. But this Regent Xiao, relying on the god-given water, forcibly survived for seven days."

"What god-given water?" Xiao Hezi and Uncle Song both looked puzzled and asked.

As soon as this was mentioned, Mr. Guan immediately beamed with joy: "In the past seven days, let alone rain, I haven't even seen a single dark cloud. The sun is horrifying. The entire stone and brick floor of Yuehua City is covered by the scorching sun. It’s fully baked. Even if you’re wearing shoes, standing on this stone square will still make your feet feel hot. If there’s a puddle of water on the ground, it’s probably going to dry up in no time. Yes, water can also be born on stones. Since the second day after the red-waisted princess gave her blessing, in the range of a foot around the execution altar, on the bare floor tiles, many dew drops have grown out of thin air. Not to mention us spectators, even the guards guarding the side were startled. A bold person reached out and wiped the floor tiles. Guess what? It was cold! Ice! The floor tiles that should have been hot, It becomes the same as ice. The hotter the day, the more water droplets become, and the more icy the floor tiles are. Don’t you think this is unusual enough?”

Uncle Song took a deep breath: "How amazing?... In this way, this Regent Xiao is really blessed by heaven."

Xiao Hezi made a final decision, and said: "It's not God's favor, I think it's true that the Dragon Goddess sent the red-waisted princess to secretly protect her."

Uncle Song looked suddenly enlightened, and exclaimed: "Could it be... Could it be that the Dragon Snake Empress really manifested? Could it be that the red-waisted princess really obtained the divine power of the Dragon Goddess?"

Mr. Guan said in a deep voice: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it. The altar is so tightly guarded, and there are audiences watching all the time. In seven days, no one, including the guards, came close to Xiao Yunxi. In the meantime, let's talk about delivering water and food to Xiao Yunxi. Xiao Yunxi is also tenacious enough, relying on the water on the ground, he has survived for seven days and seven nights until today. It stands to reason that today at three o'clock in the afternoon At this moment, it will be the end of the seven-day and seven-night sentence. Even if the son of the Dragon God does not appear, Xiao Yunxi's capital crime will be escaped after all."

Uncle Song sighed: "...Maybe, this is God's will...or Xiao Yunxi really shouldn't die. Since God's will is so, there is no way."
