[Sword Three + Big Shots] Fifth Year

What she said was: "In fact, I am the heir chosen by the high priest."

Yang Duo's words were so powerful that Wang Qi couldn't find words for a while.

But only with this possibility, Yang Duo will know more than his father who has gone through two generations of high priests.

After he digested the message, his expression slowly returned to normal, and he expressed the question in his heart: "Then why are you..."

"Why didn't you become the high priest?" Yang Duo smiled, full of helplessness, "Do you think that if I become the high priest, is Miao Jiang in my hands or my uncle's?"

Yang Mu, the gully between Wang Qi and Yang Duo will always be there,

Even though she has her own thoughts, even though she is not a weak person, she has no position to negotiate with her uncle. If she can get rid of his uncle's control, then she will not marry Wang Qi.

Humans are not gods, all human beings have weaknesses.

Yang Duo has only one weakness, and that is her brother.

All along, Yang Duo gave Wang Qi the impression of being gentle and strong. Even if they had to marry, he had never seen her revealing her helplessness like now.

At this moment, he thought of stepping forward to hug her into his arms, but his rationality reminded him that she didn't need his comfort.

Wang Qi then turned the conversation back to Chen Xi, "You met Chen Xi, what did she say?"

Yang Duo said: "I haven't told her the reason for saving her."

So she refused to come out.

I would rather bear the hatred of Long Lanyi, be tortured and wait for death.

"Why don't you say it?"

Yang Duo sighed: "I don't have conclusive evidence, she won't believe it. In short, Qi, we must rescue Chen Xi."

Wang Qi pondered for a moment and said, "I want to save her, but I can't bring her back to the village."

Even for Miao Jiang, before things became clear, he couldn't let his father and the whole village stand against the high priest for his decision, let alone put them in danger for him.

Night is endless night, knife is the hottest knife.

The vigorous figure sneaked into the temple of the high priest like a ghost, ignoring the layers of defense in the dungeon.

One is worth one hundred, but there is no blood.

Maybe it was too dark at night, no one could see the bright red silk scarf clearly.

There was nothing but darkness in front of them.

Breaking open the cell door with a knife, Qin Ge saw Chen Xi curled up on the ground in the cell. Her body was covered with large and small bruises. Because she was not treated in time, her condition was very bad.

He knew that he was a master of medicine, but he ignored all his injuries, and her way of threatening her life really made him feel damn jealous of the high priest who had never met before.

Qin Ge sighed heavily, took Chen Xi out of the dungeon, and quickly disappeared into the night.

Just when Wang Qi and Yang Duo were still planning how to rescue Chen Xi without arousing Long Lanyi's suspicion, news came from the Temple of the High Priest that Chen Xi had been robbed.

The man who robbed the prison was very skilled. He beat the guards of the dungeon to the ground without disturbing the guards of the temple.

Long Lanyi was furious because of this. Although he didn't vent his anger, the people in the high priest's temple were panicked.

As the most trusted elder after Long Lanyi came to power, after Chen Xi was robbed, Wang Wei's complexion was not so good.

"Father, haven't you found Chen Xi's whereabouts yet?" Wang Qi was relieved that Chen Xi had left the dungeon on the one hand, but worried about her safety on the other hand.

Wang Wei glanced at his only son, and said inexplicably, "She is the one the high priest wants to arrest now, do you understand?"

"Father, I won't do anything to embarrass you." Wang Qi knew what his father was worried about.

Both Long Lanyi and Chen Xi are his friends, and he will never give up on any of them. Because of this, his father is afraid that he will act irrationally because of this.

Thinking of the conversation with Yang Duo before, his gaze sank slightly.

In many cases, the changes in the world cannot be controlled by him.

There are only two choices before him, and any choice will hurt one of them.

No wonder people in the world always say that it is the most difficult to have both.

There were many thoughts in my heart, but I heard Wang Wei say: "Although there is no whereabouts of Chen Xi for the time being, she is probably not in danger. According to the report of the guard who fought with the prison robber, that person's skill is not from our Miao Jiang. Chen Xi left Miao Jiang Xinjiang for several years, maybe someone she knew in the Central Plains."

"Central Plains..."

Wang Wei said: "It's good that Chen Xi is rescued, so that the high priest will not always sink in the mood of revenge, and the things that were originally arranged are forced to be put on hold."

Wang Qi asked: "Father, do you know why the High Priest suddenly pursued what happened ten years ago?"

As if awakened by the words, Wang Wei stroked his beard and said, "I haven't discovered this until you mention it. The only people who know about it are the two deceased elders, the former high priest, me, and the executive Man, I don't even know the specific identity of the executor, how can the high priest be so sure that it is Chen Xi? Unless..." It's the person behind the scenes that they haven't been able to find.

Thinking of this, Wang Wei's face turned dark suddenly.

Ever since he was a child, Wang Qi has never seen his father's face look as ugly as it is now.

"I'll go to the temple, and you stay in the village." Wang Wei hurriedly ordered, "If you get news about Chen Xi, hold it down for now and don't let others know."

"Yes."

Looking at his father who was in a hurry, Wang Qi felt that the suspicion in his heart became bigger.

But there is one thing he has observed from his father's reaction, and that is that what Yang Duo said is true.

What happened ten years ago was not as simple as an order from the high priest.

But if it was as Yang Duo guessed, what did the former high priest and Chen Xi's master talk about?What role did Chen Xi's master play in it?Why did Yang Duo say that this matter is related to the survival of Miao Jiang?

He needs a little time to alienate their connection, perhaps, these problems can be solved only when he sees Chen Xi.

However, Chen Xi...

As the person involved, Chen Xi, who was in a coma, didn't know the disturbance caused by her disappearance outside.

Unlike the damp and moldy air in the dungeon, the fresh air gave her lungs a long-lost baptism.

When Chen Xi woke up, the first thing he felt was the sunshine that was not in the dungeon, dazzling and warm.

"I..." Opening her mouth, her voice was terribly hoarse.

Excessive hunger and fatigue, coupled with injuries all over her body, at the moment she lost consciousness, she even thought she was just dead.

"You're awake." A familiar voice said.

The sound of feet stepping on dead branches and fallen leaves was nearby, Chen Xi stood up and looked, the red silk scarf bumped into her eyes without warning, and the black coat covering her body just slipped off.

"Qin Ge."

Deep-set eyes, a straight nose, and the corners of his lips seem to be raised up.

We haven't seen each other for half a month, but it seems like a year has passed.

Maybe it's because she's been in the dungeon for so long.

"It's me." He came over, still holding a bowl in his hand, "If I don't come, are you planning to just confess yourself in that dark dungeon?"

"People are always responsible for what they do." Chen Xi didn't want to raise the issue between himself and Long Lanyi with him.

Qin Ge didn't say anything, he helped her up involuntarily, let her lean on his shoulder, put the bowl in his hand to her mouth, "Drink the soup first, you haven't eaten for a long time, it's amazing how long you can last Unexpected."

Chen Xi gave him a weak look, and slowly started to drink while holding his hand.

As she drank, she heard Qin Ge say, "Even if you have to be responsible, you shouldn't give up on yourself. It's not like you at all."

Chen Xi smiled, "What should I look like?"

Without even thinking about it, Qin Ge blurted out: "Smart, brave and decisive, with an informal atmosphere, and a tenacious respect for life."

It was Chen Xi's turn to get stuck, she just asked casually, but she didn't expect him to be able to speak eloquently, so what should she say?

However, respect for life?

After drinking the soup, my stomach was full, and my brain regained its proper flexibility.

Chen Xi found that the place they were in was a wild place in Miaojiang, but she couldn't tell which village they were in for the time being. Looking at the place where Qin Ge had just walked, there was a pot and a jar, which was obviously impossible It's his stuff.

"How did you find these pots and pans?" Chen Xi asked.

Qin Ge replied: "I took it from a nearby village, and it didn't alarm them. But..."

"But what?"

Qin Ge frowned and recalled, "The people in that village are very strange."

Chen Xi's eyelids twitched, "How strange?"

Qin Ge said: "Their skin is purple, their eyes are dull, and they have no verbal communication with each other. When I fetched things, I even found that they don't need to eat... Are you surprised?"

Every time he said something, Chen Xi's face became ugly, and when he finished speaking, he realized that Chen Xi's face was paler than before, there seemed to be a trace of fear in his eyes, and he was still muttering something in his mouth.

"Chen Xi?" Qin Ge put his arms around her shoulders worriedly, and heard her muttering clearly.

"How is it possible...they still appeared..."

Apart from fear, there was only confusion in his eyes, obviously he was caught in his own thoughts.

"Chen Xi!" Qin Ge held Chen Xi's shoulder, making her look at him, "Wake up!"

When Chen Xi was called back to his senses, his first reaction was to grab Qin Ge's sleeve, "Where is the village you mentioned? Take me to see it."

From her reaction, Qin Ge could tell that there must be something important that he didn't know about, but...

"Your physical condition hasn't improved yet. If something really happens, it's not the way to get over it like this."

"I'm fine." Chen Xi said, backed away from Qin Ge's arms, stood up, took out the scorpion heart to forget his feelings, threw a holy hand Zhitian for himself, connected an ice silkworm to pull the silk, and The wound faded a lot immediately, but his complexion was still not good.

Her actions showed her persistence. Qin Ge knew that if he didn't say anything, Chen Xi wouldn't be obedient to heal his wounds, so he sighed in his heart and said, "I'll take you there."

Qin Ge thought to himself, going to that village was at least much better than asking to go back to the dungeon. Anyway, in front of him, no one would want to hurt her again.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xi suddenly became vigilant and said, "Wait."

Then, I saw Chen Xi move his lips, but no sound came out.

"This is a code word." Chen Xi explained.

A code word only understood by the secret killer who is the former high priest.
