Long Qinghan's eyes were filled with the deepest hatred for him.
But this time, Long Tianhao did not choose to glare at him.
He just looked at him calmly and asked, "Do you really hate me?"
"I can't wait to kill you!" Long Qinghan said, gnashing his teeth.
Long Tianhao looked at him calmly and said, "Then kill me now."
"Do you think I don't dare to?"
Long Qinghan immediately drew out a long sword and put it against Long Tianhao's neck.
"If you want to kill me, you can do it now. But if you don't, you have to listen to me."
"I will never listen to a liar. Give up, no matter what you say, I won't believe you!"
Long Qinghan said angrily and turned to leave.
But before he stepped out of the room, he heard a sigh behind him.
"Qinghan, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left you alone. If you blame me, I won't complain.
But I just want to beg you, follow your heart and don't be fooled by everything in front of you. "
Long Tianhao lowered his eyes and his tone was sincere. He did not seem to be pretending.
Long Qinghan's hands were trembling in a corner where he could not see.
Finally, he walked out of the room.
Standing in the courtyard, Long Qinghan's face showed that he was struggling.
Although everything his father told him was so familiar, there were still some parts that felt a little out of place.
He wanted to keep Gu Pan at all costs, not only because he did not want to let this woman out of his sight.
More importantly, when Gu Pan was around, he felt that the wall that blocked his memory seemed to be gradually loosening.
This feeling disappeared after Gu Pan left, until Long Tianhao came.
Once again, he felt the feeling of his heart trembling.
It was no longer important which was true or false.
He would find out the truth and give himself an explanation.
Until then, let's leave things as they are.
After a few days of depression, Lin Mengya gradually cheered up.
Although they traveled day and night, they did not forget to inquire about the news in various places.
When they arrived at the outskirts of Longdu, Lin Mengya did not ask Qinghu to reveal his identity.
Instead, he brought them directly into the city and turned to an inconspicuous gambling house.
"Baisu, Cai Ru, you two wait here. I'll go in with Qinghu."
"Yes."
The two of them immediately led their horses to the side and waited.
After entering the casino, Lin Mengya did not care about the gamblers around her. Instead, she directly walked through the lobby to the quiet back.
Behind them were a few strong men who seemed to be very capable of fighting. Seeing that they had walked in on their own, they immediately surrounded them with fierce expressions.
"Who are you people? This is not a place where you can come and go as you please! "
Without another word, she took out a small pendant from her clothes.
The pendant was purplish-gold in color and had the word "subdue" engraved on it. Below the pendant was a flying, vigorous dragon.
When the strong men saw this thing, their expressions immediately changed.
They put away their arrogant attitude and respectfully invited the two of them in.
As soon as the two of them entered, a man who looked very shrewd and wise came up to them.
"I didn't know you two were here. Sorry for not coming out to greet you. My name is Ding You, the branch leader of the Dragon Subduing Hall. "
She was holding the Purple Dragon Token, which symbolized the highest power in the Dragon Subduing Hall.
Only two people in the entire Dragon Subduing Hall had this token. One was her, and the other was the Hall Leader Xie Han, who had been missing for a long time.
She immediately got people to block all news about Xie Han's disappearance, so the people in the branch did not know that the Hall Leader had gone missing.
Lin Mengya had no intention of revealing her identity. She just asked, "Do you have any news about the Temple Leader?"
Ding You did not dare to be careless. He immediately turned around and rummaged through the table for a while. Then, he sent a document to her.
"According to the Hall Leader's instructions, before the Dragon Capital Temple Army attacked the city, we had helped a lot.
But the Temple Leader met with an accident, so we still haven't found any trace of him. "
On the document, there were only two words about Long Tianhao — Whereabouts Unknown.
"What do you mean by whereabouts unknown? Didn't you say that before he fell down, the palace wall exploded? "
"That is indeed the case. But outside the palace wall, our people accidentally found a secret passage."
Ding You took out another document and passed it to her.
"Please take a look. This secret passage leads to the outside of the city.
If not for the sudden collapse of the palace wall, this secret passage would not have been revealed. Our people found some fragments of armor in it.
His brothers in the Temple Army had verified that these shards truly belonged to the Temple Lord.
We followed this secret passage and searched several times, but did not find any trace of the Temple Leader. So, we guessed that someone took the opportunity to take them away. "
Ding You said this not to comfort Lin Mengya, but because they had not found the body, he had to be cautious.
But he did not know that it was his words that made Lin Mengya feel at ease.
"Did you find any traces of others?"
Ding You thought for a while before replying, "Indeed, at the two ends of this secret passage, we found traces of someone opening it.
But, these could also be left behind by the rebel army.
If the Temple Leader fell into the hands of the rebel army, I'm afraid he would be in danger. "
That was true.
Murong Ming had already been captured by the Temple Army.
If the rebel army had really captured Long Tianhao and Murong Yan, they would definitely exchange them for Murong Ming.
After coming out of the gambling house, Qinghu asked in a low voice, "Where are we going now?"
Actually, they should interrogate Murong Ming.
After interrogating the last secret stronghold of the rebel army, they could investigate them one by one.
But Lin Mengya wanted to go to the scene herself.
And she did not want to attract anyone's attention.
So, the four of them went to disguise themselves.
Outside the palace, there were still traces of the battle between the rebel army and the Temple Army.
The palace wall had completely collapsed.
So, both the inside and outside were heavily guarded by the Temple Army.
Lin Mengya only went to take a look.
She took out the map and with Qinghu, found the secret passage that the Dragon Subduing Hall had accidentally discovered.
There was no heavy guard here.
From the outside, there was nothing unusual. But according to the information given to them by the Dragon Subduing Hall, they saw a dilapidated cellar after going around a low wall.
The secret passage was in this cellar.
It was probably because of the explosion at that time.
So, the wall between the cellar and the secret passage collapsed.
They carefully went down into the cellar.
There was a thick smell of dust inside.
Qinghu took a few steps forward with the lantern.
After making sure that the air inside was enough for everyone to breathe freely, he waved his hand and asked them to follow him.
"Master, be careful!"
Cai Ru followed behind Qinghu, and Baisu followed behind her to cover for him.
All four of them had lanterns in their hands. Inch by inch, they searched carefully in the tunnel.
When they reached the middle of the tunnel, she found that there was a lot of sunlight coming in.
This was part of the collapsed outside. Maybe it looked like a big pit from the road.
And there were a lot of wood and stones covering it, so no one found this place.
She looked around, and Xiao Yao tried her best to search to the maximum.
Then, she heard Xiao Yao's exclamation in the system.
"Master, there is Father Long's blood in here!"
In fact, Xiao Yao changed this name on her own.
Xiao Yao felt that since Long Tianhao already knew of her existence and accepted it, he was like a father to her.
"Where is it?"
Lin Mengya was suddenly shocked and asked.
"It's mixed in the soil!"
Because a long time had passed, and the soil kept seeping in.
As a result, all the traces of Long Tianhao's blood were hidden very deeply.
But Lin Mengya still used her hands to dig up the soil.
Inadvertently, she found a dirty pouch from the depths of the soil.
"This is the medicine sachet I prepared for him!"
The pattern on it was a practice that she had practiced for a long time, but it was still very messy.
The medicine sachet was now soaked in blood, and it had lost the elegant fragrance it had before.
But the existence of this thing made Lin Mengya more certain of the information given by the Dragon-subduing Hall.
"He has already fallen here, but I don't know who took him away!"
If Long Tianhao and Murong Yan had died at that time, the other party would not have needed to go through so much trouble to transport their bodies.
Especially at that time, the rebel army was already an arrow at the end of its flight, and the strength they left behind was very weak.
They did not even have enough strength to escape, so why would they need to carry the bodies of two enemies as a burden?
Lin Mengya looked at the medicine sachet, and the big stone in her heart was finally lifted.
"He is definitely not dead. He is already waiting for me somewhere!"
Although she was not a hundred percent sure that Long Tianhao would definitely be fine, the fire of hope in her heart was still burning.
They continued to search carefully in the secret passage, but this time they did not find any clues.
But Lin Mengya was not discouraged because of this.
After they came out of the secret passage, they realized that this place led directly to a small hill outside the city.
She squinted her eyes to adapt to the light outside, and looked around.
"Do you think the people who took Long Tianhao away are the rebels?" she asked Qinghu.
The latter shook his head and said, "At the moment, we can't be sure who it is. I think the possibility of it being the rebels is not high.
If they really knew about this secret passage, then Murong Ming should have planned earlier, and not be captured by the Divine Palace Army at the last moment. "
