Chapter 173: Past Events of Southern Merchants
"Xiao Zeming!" Xiao Zechuan's expression became a little gloomy. "What do you want to see me for?"
Xiao Zeming is not as good-looking as Xiao Zechuan. He has slanted eyes, and when he looks at people, he has a domineering aura. He sneered, "I don't want to do anything. I just want to reminisce with my brother."
Xiao Zechuan said indifferently: "I am busy now."
After saying that, Xiao Zechuan walked towards the direction of the stone gate of the Huaku. At the same time, he took out a purple gold token in his hand, which was the proof of his identity as the prince.
As soon as he showed the token, the guard leader waved his hand and asked several gatekeepers to open the stone door of the flower cave.
Six "waiters" followed closely behind Xiao Zechuan, with their heads lowered, seeming a little panicked.
"Royal brother, are these the ones you are going to offer to the goddess of flowers? They are a little too shabby." Xiao Zeming narrowed his eyes and glanced sharply at the six people pretending to be waiters.
Xiao Zechuan didn't want to pay attention to him. When the stone door was opened, he saw that it was dark and eerie inside, with a hint of weirdness. The rich fragrance of flowers mixed with the fishy smell of blood hit him in the face, making him feel nauseous.
He walked into the flower cave without hesitation.
Chen Yan and the others were not as calm as Xiao Zechuan, they couldn't help but frown.
Pei Wu Su was allergic to pollen, and the strong floral scent made him feel extremely uncomfortable. He wanted to cough, but in order not to reveal his identity, he forced himself to use his spiritual power to suppress the discomfort.
He lowered his head, his face was dotted with red spots and his skin became swollen.
Chen Yan noticed Pei Wusu's situation. He was enduring it with great difficulty, but unfortunately as a waiter he was not allowed to wear a face mask.
As soon as he stepped into the flower cave, Chen Yan felt a sense of danger in his heart.
Just as the stone door was closing, Xiao Zeming suddenly spoke up: "I also brought some 'supplements' to present to the Flower Goddess."
The guard leader's voice came: "Third Prince, please come in."
Chen Yan frowned. The third prince actually followed in.
The Flower Cave is an underground city, so as soon as you come in, you have to walk down the stone steps first. The staircase is dark. Xiao Zechuan walks in the front, and the six people follow closely, going down step by step. From time to time, screams can be heard from the city below, which makes people's scalps numb.
At this time, the third prince Xiao Zeming quickly passed Chen Yan and the other six and came to Xiao Zechuan's side. He stared at Xiao Zechuan with deep eyes and said with a smile: "Royal brother, I heard that you not only got into the Western Region College, but also entered the Secret Academy. Royal brother, you are really amazing!"
Although it is a compliment, if you listen carefully, it is not difficult to hear that it is a mockery.
Xiao Zechuan remained silent.
Seeing Xiao Zechuan's arrogant look, Xiao Zeming suddenly became angry: "Xiao Zechuan! Don't think you are great just because you entered the Western Region College! I know you came from the random secret college team, what? Do you want to abandon them? Or do you want to betray them? If I tell them..."
Xiao Zechuan shot him a cold look, "Third brother, you talk too much."
Seeing that he finally reacted, Xiao Zeming smiled meanly: "Xiao Zechuan, are you afraid that I will tell them what you have done? Yes, if the people in your team knew that you are cold-blooded, suspicious, scheming, and even renegade, I'm afraid they would not tolerate you!"
At this time, Chen Yan and the other six people all took Xiao Zeming's words into their ears.
They looked at each other. Xiao Zeming was indeed right. Xiao Zechuan was a very cunning and suspicious person.
As for whether it can be tolerated?
We have to wait until this matter is over before making a decision.
Xiao Zechuan did not respond to Xiao Zeming's words. He pursed his lips, frowned slightly, and his fox eyes seemed to contain a deep look.
This long staircase had a slight echo, so their footsteps became more obvious.
When Xiao Zeming saw Xiao Zechuan's gloomy face, anger rose and fell in his heart. He clenched his fists tightly, and finally waved his sleeves fiercely and snorted coldly.
Chen Yan took in Xiao Zeming's forbearing look.
Are these two brothers friends or enemies?
The third prince Xiao Zeming seemed to care about Xiao Zechuan and wanted to get his attention, but Xiao Zechuan completely ignored him.
When they were about to reach the last step, Xiao Zechuan suddenly attacked Xiao Zeming and knocked him unconscious with a single blow of his hand!
"You..." Xiao Zeming felt a pain in his neck, his pupils widened in shock, and a look of disbelief flashed across his eyes.
Xiao Zeming was knocked unconscious and fell on the steps.
Wen Yuchu straightened his back, with a faint smile on his face, and deliberately asked Xiao Zechuan: "Do you want to kill him?"
When Xiao Zechuan heard this, he glanced at Wen Yuchu sharply.
Wen Yuchu was not afraid at all. He was not wearing the silver mask now, but a human skin mask. When he smiled, he looked like a wild beast waiting for an opportunity, making people feel extremely dangerous.
Xiao Zechuan's face was tense, he looked at Chen Yan and said, "Keep his life."
Chen Yan said calmly: "It's up to you."
Wen Yuchu added: "I thought the Third Prince had a grudge against you, but I didn't expect it was the person you protected. Xiao Zechuan, you hid it very well."
Yu Changying said softly: "Brother Yuchu, it's time to get down to business. Don't worry about other brothers' affairs."
"Sister Changying is right." Wen Yuchu put away his smile.
At this time, Pei Wusu was feeling extremely uncomfortable. After taking a pill, he put on his mask again to block out some pollen.
Chen Yan sent a message to Xiao Zechuan: "Who do you want to save?"
Xiao Zechuan looked at Chen Yan deeply, "Save... my sister."
Royal sister?
Chen Yan continued to transmit the message, but this time she was transmitting it to Jiang Xianyue and the others, "What's going on with the Flower God here? Is there any mechanism? Or any dangerous person? You have to explain it to us first."
Hearing this, several people looked at Xiao Zechuan.
Xiao Zechuan looked at them, his heart was tangled for a moment, and finally he no longer concealed it, and said in a voice transmission: "More than a hundred years ago, Nanshang Country was just a medium-sized country. Later, a powerful demon signed a contract with the Southern Shang Emperor. The demon helped the Southern Shang Emperor to strengthen the country's strength, and the Southern Shang Country needed to provide blood to the demon, and the source of this blood could only be humans."
"While the Southern Shang Emperor was providing blood to the demon, the demon was also using magic to make the soldiers of the Southern Shang Kingdom stronger and stronger. The Southern Shang Kingdom continued to expand its territory and eventually gradually established itself as a great power in the Pingze Western Region."
"The Emperor of Nanshang was very happy at first, but gradually, he found that there were fewer and fewer death row prisoners, and the blood of the death row prisoners alone could not satisfy the monster. Later, the Emperor of Nanshang secretly sent people to capture some ordinary people and offer them to the monster. The stronger the monster is, the more blood he needs, so more and more people died in Nanshang Kingdom."
Xiao Zechuan paused for a moment, his eyes dim and unclear, and continued to transmit: "The practitioners of Nanshang Country have discovered something is wrong, because this imperial city is filled with a strong smell of blood..."
