[Sword Three + Big Shots] Fifth Year

Miaojiang, the Temple of the High Priest.

A rusty smell filled the entire space.

Thick curtains were drawn on the doors and windows, blocking the light and blocking the wind. The temple became dark and dull, lifeless.

The extremely beautiful woman sat on the throne with a solemn expression, her beautiful eyes projected two cold lights, which hit the kneeling person below without any cover.

Her long hair was loose, her hands and feet were tied with heavy chains, and her ragged clothes couldn't cover up the scars. If it weren't for her undulating back, others might think that she was a person who died under torture.

"You still refuse to tell, who told you to kill the 130 members of the Long family?" Long Lanyi said lightly, playing with a rope in his hand. The other end of the rope was tied to the kneeling man below human neck.

After waiting for a long time without getting a response, Long Lanyi moved his wrist, and the person below was yanked by the neck, and a face covered in mud and blood was exposed from the messy hair. Chen Xi who disappeared without a trace.

"No one instructed me." She said deadpan.

Long Lanyi smiled, narrowed the corners of his eyes, and turned up slightly, "I'm really curious, who is worthy of your protection... who can make you move, there were only five people in Miaojiang back then, since you don't want to say, I will check it slowly, and I don’t believe that I can’t find it.”

"One person does things and one person is responsible. No one tells me. Ayi..." Chen Xi was pulled violently again, and his figure almost fell to the ground.

Long Lanyi roared: "You don't deserve to call me by my name!"

"..." Chen Xi lowered his eyelids, looking as if he wanted to kill or cut him down.

Long Lanyi threw the rope in Chen Xi's face, "Come here! Take her down and keep her under strict supervision."

As soon as the words fell, two temple guards came in immediately and carried Chen Xi out.

Being imprisoned back in the dungeon again, Chen Xi fell on the ground, silently counting, this is already the tenth day since she came back, she doesn't know how Long Lanyi found out what happened back then, but her confession completely angered her .

Half a month ago, the matter between Qihai and Liu Fenggu was settled, and she returned to Miaojiang immediately.

Who wants to meet the people in the high priest's temple as soon as they step into Miaojiang, as they say, they have been waiting for her here for a long time.

They brought her to Long Lanyi.

If she had been guessing why Long Lanyi wanted to see her before coming back, then when she actually saw the way she looked at her, she knew that she didn't have to guess anymore.

Long Lanyi came back to her because of "that matter".

No fluke.

Ten years ago, the Meng Chi Long family, except for the saint dragon Lan Yi who was chosen to be sent to the high priest's temple, 130 people, all of them were killed overnight...

Long Lanyi's condensed gaze, which he would only show when facing an enemy, was used on her this time.

Long Lanyi said: "Chen Xi, ten years ago, did you do something wrong to me?"

——"I have always regarded you as my best friend, but how did you treat me?"

——"Ten years ago, you were less than 12 years old, why did you do it so hard?"

—— "As long as you tell the person behind it, I will let you leave Miaojiang as you wish, and I will never see you again in this life."

Chen Xi closed his eyes and lay motionless on the cold ground.

Those cruel, messy, and horrific scenes flashed through her mind one after another, and she couldn't struggle, couldn't get rid of them.

She had expected that these past events would be revealed and her friendship with Long Lanyi would come to an end, but she did not expect this day to come so soon.

The door of the dungeon was opened, and light footsteps came towards her.

"Chen Xi..." This man's voice made Chen Xi react.

She slowly got up from the ground, sat up and looked up at the woman outside the prison door, "Wang Qi wants you to come?"

The person who came was Yang Duo, Wang Qi's wife.

"No." Yang Duo said, "I want to come by myself."

Chen Xi raised her hand and smoothed her messy hair behind her ears, waiting for her next sentence without saying a word.

"I'm here to rescue you." The unexpected words made Chen Xi stunned for a moment.

"Yang Duo, do you know what I'm talking about?" Chen Xi said, "If I leave here without authorization, I will flee in fear of crime, and you will be an accomplice, and even Wang Qi will be implicated, do you understand?"

Mentioning Wang Qi, Yang Duo's eyes flickered slightly, and the drooping eyelids quickly covered up the waves in his heart, "You don't want to find out, tell the high priest, what exactly do you want? High priest, what do you want?" You Wang Qi is a good friend, isn't it? Even if you want to die, can you bear to watch your friend being murdered?"

"What do you mean by that!" Chen Xi stood up suddenly, and there was a clatter of chains being pulled up.

Yang Duo breathed a sigh of relief and lost her original anxiety, and said softly: "The people of the high priest's family were killed overnight, and only a few people knew the whole story, even I who are the same age as you don't know... But, this matter The matter was dug up when the high priest started to rectify Miaojiang. Don’t you think it’s too coincidental? Although I don’t know the whole story, I can see from your performance that if the truth is found out, it will not be a big deal for the high priest. No good, am I right?"

It's more than just useless... Chen Xi bit her lip and stared at Yang Duo, but her eyes were full of confusion.

"Why are you telling me this?" Chen Xi asked.

If something happens to Long Lanyi, Yang Duo's uncle, Elder Yang Mu, will undoubtedly be the biggest beneficiary, and Yang Duo can occupy a more important position with Wang Qi.

Yang Duo lowered her head and smiled, revealing the shy side of a girl, "I have been raised according to the requirements of a saint since I was a child. It may seem unbelievable to you, but in my mind, there is nothing like the prosperity of Miao Jiang." more important."

"So I must not watch things that endanger Miao Jiang happen." She said with a serious face.

Maybe you will always meet those people in your life, you can't talk about friendship, let alone friends, but you can't help but believe what he said in front of you, because every sentence is from the heart.

Yang Duo in front of him is such a person.

Chen Xi suddenly understood why the arrogant Long Lanyi looked at her differently.

She laughed, a low laugh that gradually amplified, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

Chen Xi's smile confused Yang Duo, before she could ask, Chen Xi stopped smiling and said indifferently: "You go."

"Chen Xi!" Yang Duo's eyes widened. She said so much, but Chen Xi was still indifferent.

How could this be……

Yang Duo wanted to persuade him again, but Chen Xi didn't intend to listen anymore, turned around and walked inside, found a corner and sat down and closed his eyes, his attitude was already very obvious.

Yang Duo stared helplessly, stood for a while and then left.

Yang Duo returned home from the dungeon of the High Priest's Temple, so preoccupied that she didn't even notice that Wang Qi was waiting for her in the room.

Seeing his wife entering the house in a daze, he could turn a blind eye while sitting here, and walked straight in. Wang Qi Nong frowned, and raised his sense of existence: "Where have you been?"

Yang Duo seemed to be taken aback, and her whole life was stagnant there, but when she turned around, it was no different from usual.

If the two of them hadn't been married for so long, Wang Qi might have thought that he was delusional just now.

However, Yang Duo's eyes were more thoughtful than he had ever seen before - he had always thought that such eyes would only appear on Long Lanyi, who was the high priest.

He almost forgot that Yang Duo also had the opportunity to be the high priest.

It is obviously impossible for Yang Mu's niece to stand out from the whole Meng Leng.

Yang Duo himself must have something special.

She said, "Qi, how much can I trust you."

Yang Duo's voice was very low. If he hadn't seen her lips moving, Wang Qi would have thought he was hallucinating.

It's not a question, she's just thinking about it.

Wang Qi frowned even tighter.

Time went by, and before you knew it, the light in the room dimmed.

Yang Duo seemed to have made a big decision, "Qi, I beg you, help me rescue Chen Xi."

"You went to the dungeon of the temple?" Wang Qi's tone was urgent.

"Yes." Yang Duo nodded, looking straight into his eyes without fear, "Qi, we must rescue Chen Xi."

"Ah Xi is my friend, so I naturally don't want to see her suffer." Wang Qi sued, and said, "But, if we saved her, it would be tantamount to making an enemy of the high priest."

Yang Duo closed her eyes and asked, "Then, which one is more important to you, the survival of the High Priest or Miao Jiang?"

There is no doubt that it is of course Miao Jiang.

Wang Qi keenly heard the unusualness in Yang Duo's words, "What does saving Ah Xi have to do with the survival of Miao Jiang?"

Asking this, his heart beat uncontrollably.

Intuition told him that what Yang Duo wanted to say must be beyond what he knew, even no less than the five elders who were the former high priest.

The vermilion lips parted slightly, and his heart also hung up at the same time.

"Do you remember that ten years ago, 130 members of Meng Chilong's village were killed overnight?" Yang Duo's question undoubtedly confirmed Wang Qi's conjecture.

His gaze sank, no matter it was emotion or temperature.

Yang Duo had never seen Wang Qi like this.

But she didn't have a trace of fear or surprise, only silence.

Wang Qi unconsciously remembered that many years ago, there was such a woman who was wise and calm, calm and calm.

Let him have to connect them.

So he asked back: "How does the death of the high priest clan have something to do with the survival of Miaojiang? How much do you know about what happened ten years ago?"

"A little more than you know." She said, "Long Shi was killed ten years ago, it was the order of the former high priest. But why did the high priest make such an order, have you ever thought about it?"

"What do you mean?" Wang Qi's eyelids twitched suddenly.

She said slowly, "You know what I mean."

Wang Qi's expression finally changed at this moment.

Yang Duo didn't stop because of his change, but continued: "Back then, there was an unknown crisis lurking in the dark of Miao Jiang. That decision was an order made by the high priest after a secret conversation with a mysterious person, and that mysterious person , I'm sure it's Chen Xi's master."

"How do you know this?" Yang Duo knew it, and the elders probably didn't know it either.

If Yang Duo's words just now made it hard for Wang Qi to digest, then her answer will completely make him look at his wife with admiration.
