The man had no power to fight back, his whole body was stained with blood, and drops of blood on his forehead rolled down his wet hair, making him look extremely miserable.

But after hearing what Xiaoyu said, he said nothing.

He refused to reveal even a single secret of this town.

"Oh, you keep your mouth shut."

Xiaoyu smiled evilly and gave Chunke a look.

Then, Chun Ke stepped forward, holding a knife and cutting off pieces of flesh from the man's arm.

The man wailed in pain but refused to let go and finally passed out.

If you can't get anything out of it, then there's no point in keeping it.

Just as Xiaoyu was about to kill the man, she saw a little girl running over quickly and protecting the man behind her.

She remembered that this was the thin little girl who opened the door and handed over water. She was thin but stood in front of the man with determination.

The little girl's eyes were like an eagle's.

"Don't kill him, I'll tell you whatever you want to hear!"

The little girl looked like she was protecting her cub, her eyes were fierce and she had an aura that didn't belong to her age.

"Oh? That's quite a good point. Tell me more."

Xiaoyu looked at the little girl with interest, her eyes calm.

"But I have a condition." The little girl said seriously, as if she had thought it over carefully.

Xiaoyu smiled and asked her to tell her.

She always has great patience with girls.

"You are the eldest princess, so you can definitely fight him. My condition is to take me and my brother away from here."

"Take us away yourself and get us to a safe place."

The little girl said this with a serious face and a hint of distrust in her eyes.

She didn't know whether the eldest princess in front of her could really compete with that man.

After hearing this, Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows. She was very curious about the "he" the little girl was talking about.

It seems that the secret of the town is really related to people.

Xiaoyu smiled and agreed to the girl's request. No matter who it was, Xiaoyu was not afraid.

Anyone who dares to challenge her would be challenging the imperial power.

Anyone who challenges the imperial power will hardly have a good ending.

The little girl got the answer and then she spoke slowly.

After hearing her words, everyone realized that this was the territory of a top tycoon.

This tycoon is extremely wealthy and mysterious. He never shows his true face and always wears a bronze ghost mask.

Even the guards around this man were blue-clothed guards wearing masks.

This small town, named Baozhu Town, is backed by a huge saltwater lake.

Legend has it that there is a mysterious gem in this lake, emitting colorful divine light, crystal white in color, and as big as a fist.

The residents of the town make a living by collecting clams and selling pearls, and this legend has always existed, but no one believes it.

But one day, the mysterious rich man came with a large group of green-clothed ghost-faced men and ordered all the townspeople to go down to the lake to search for treasure.

Anyone who dares to escape, leak secrets, or disobey will all die at the hands of the Ghost-Faced Man's double swords.

So the residents who survived dived underwater every day to search for the pearls.

And these residents were also called workers by the mysterious rich businessman.

The little girl said that the purple flowers in the town could cause people to fall into a short coma, so Chun Ke and the others fell down.

The reason why Xiaoyu and An'er did not faint was probably because their noses were blocked and they did not inhale pollen.

fish:……

When Xiaoyu heard this, he rubbed his nose and smiled awkwardly.

She recalled that she went out in the rain that day in order to show off in front of He Jue.

I pretended it at the time, but after I got back, I caught a cold in the middle of the night.

It feels good to show off for a while, but you will regret it afterwards.

Silly An Er rubbed his nose, smiled and said: "No wonder I'm fine, luckily I have rhinitis."

Xiaoyu ignored the silly An Er and just wondered silently whether this mysterious rich businessman had appeared in the original book.

This seems to be another person who does not exist in the original work, but Xiaoyu feels that he cannot be ignored.

What kind of person keeps a large number of green-robed ghost-faced men? These guys can be considered private soldiers, and they are all well-equipped.

Moreover, this person also referred to the residents as workers.

Although this is a fictional dynasty, could such a modern word really be a coincidence?

Xiaoyu was suspicious, wondering why there were so many things that never happened in the original book.

Right now in the imperial city, besides myself and Hai Yi, who else has such power?

Xiaoyu narrowed his eyes, thinking secretly in his heart, is it possible that there is a third-party force hidden in the imperial city?

But if there really is such a force or person, then there shouldn't be no description or foreshadowing of it in the original book.

But no matter how hard I tried, there was no such role.

"Your Highness, what is the magical use of the pearls in the lake?"

After hearing this, Xiao Yun'er asked curiously, her eyes, which were as round as black grapes, sparkling brightly.

After hearing this, Xiaoyu looked at the little girl and asked her what the use was.

"That person only told us to look for the orb. He only described what it looked like, but didn't specify what it was used for."

"But I think it must be a treasure, otherwise I wouldn't have spent so much effort on it."

The little girl thought about it and said in a low voice.

Then, she seemed to remember something and said to Xiaoyu, "But I once heard from my brother that the orb has the magic to tear the world apart!"

"It can take people to any place they want to go."

After the little girl finished speaking, Xiaoyu's expression changed again and again.

"Can you transform people to any place? How amazing! It would be great if you could transform us directly to the grassland."

After hearing this, Jiang Hao's eyes sparkled and he spoke excitedly.

It seemed that he couldn't wait to drain the lake, find the orb, and teleport directly to the grassland.

"It's so magical. Can it be done anywhere?" Xiao Yun'er said in surprise after hearing this.

"I don't know about that. I've only heard such rumors." The little girl shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

A possibility suddenly occurred to Xiaoyu.

Is it possible that there are other travelers in this world that she doesn't know about?

There might be other time travelers in this world besides her, Tang Zhao, and Xiao Yun'er.

The wealthy businessman, in searching for such a precious orb, might want to return to his original world.

Wouldn’t that orb become a tool that can travel through reality and books!

The more she thought about it, the more possible it seemed to her, and the more shocked and alert she became.

If there are other time travelers, the situation will become very dangerous, and the forces hiding in the dark are a huge hidden danger.

It is very likely to threaten the safety of Xiaoyu and Tang Zhao.

It is also possible to easily change the situation in the imperial city.

"An Er, set up camp here. Send a message to the emperor as quickly as possible to send troops over."

"This orb must be found, no matter if the rumors are true or not. Even if it means draining the lake dry, you must dig it out for me."

Xiaoyu's eyes were firm and a cold light flashed across his brows.
