MTL - The Strong Beauty is a Goddess in Showbiz-Chapter 491 Previous life 29
The news spread that the temple priest killed the general with one sword, and the rebels could hardly believe their ears.
Even the ministers who had not had time to be tried by the rebels were shocked. Did the temple priests take action? !
But the people in the temple were obviously almost gone!
Because of this incident, the rebel army split into several factions. Some people clamored to capture the temple and behead the temple priests in public to avenge the general, while others were afraid of the temple priests and were unwilling to move forward.
Finally, they brought back the body of the general and sent heavy troops to guard around the temple and monitor the temple priests.
At the same time, they did not forget the task of overthrowing the divine power. After beheading the king in public, they put a puppet on the throne.
This puppet is clearly Xi Yan.
Xi Yan never imagined that things would turn into such a ridiculous situation just one night later.
He wanted to go to the temple priest to ask about the situation, but he was also monitored by the rebels and was forced to inherit the throne, so he could only endure it for the time being.
Half a month after he ascended the throne, Si Jin's former lieutenant secretly gave him a secret letter.
Xi Yan’s eyebrows skipped a beat and he found an opportunity to unfold the secret letter.
That was the last letter Si Jin left for him.
The letter stated that Si Jin realized a very serious problem not long after he captured the city captured by the rebels: except for a few rogue bandits, most of the rebels were soldiers and slaves who had previously guarded the border. A veteran who survived the battlefield was left with a broken body.
They believe that the reason why the royal power is so arrogant, does not take them seriously, and never cares about the suffering of the people on the border is because there is a temple behind all this to provide them with answers.
Since the establishment of the lost country, they have been plagued by border issues, but because of the existence of the temple, they are still standing.
But now, with the royal power decaying and the temple degenerating, they have the best opportunity for change.
Because the general has a great reputation and outstanding military exploits, and has been guarding the border for many years, the rebels are very committed to winning over him.
Si Jin didn’t pay attention at first.
Until he began to attack the allied nomadic tribes, the battle was very difficult. There were alienations in the military camp and supplies in the rear were cut off.
If it weren’t for the prayers given by the temple priests before setting off for the battle, I’m afraid he wouldn’t have been able to survive many times.
When they were later forced into a desperate situation, it was the rebels who supported them with their troops and helped them win the final victory.
At that moment, Si Jin finally understood what the general trend was.
After that, he no longer resisted the support of the rebels, and led his troops back to the capital in one fell swoop. However, he was not for change, but just wanted to come back to see the temple priest for the last time.
The letter concluded by asking Xi Yan to find an opportunity to take the temple priest away.
After reading it, Xi Yan's eyes were heavy. He placed the letter next to the candle and let the bright candle burn.
The letter was quickly burned by the flames and turned into ashes. In the end, he couldn't help but cursed: "Si Jin, you are really looking for trouble for me!"
But he couldn't say anything. The general had given them a lot of time. He could see now that he was attacking the capital with great momentum, probably just to give them time to escape.
But he didn’t leave, and neither did the temple priests. They would not leave this land.
Since that day, Xi Yan tried his best to contact the temple priest, but he underestimated the rebels' fear of the temple priest, and once he almost got exposed.
Xi Yan had no choice but to find another way.
Temple.
The people in the temple were all driven away by the rebels. Under the surveillance of countless pairs of eyes, the priests of the temple were doing their usual actions calmly.
But what she often does is sit on the high platform of the priest's temple in a daze. She stares blankly down the platform, not knowing what she is thinking.
Sometimes she would be in a daze for a whole day. Before she was tired, the rebels who were monitoring her would be tired first.
It didn’t take long for them to take her sword away. At the same time, the power to monitor her was reduced, and the temple priests didn’t care.
One year after the change, the vitality of the capital gradually recovered.
Most of these rebels were soldiers who had been stationed on the border, and many of them in the capital were their relatives, so the people in the capital did not suffer.
Xi Yan learned to be a king under the instruction of the rebels. Although he only spent three days fishing and two days drying nets after becoming a king, he also secretly accumulated a lot of strength after a year of hard work.
At the very least, he could send someone to inquire about the construction of the general's tomb, and even design a tomb for him himself.
After Xi Yan finished the design, he felt that he was really a genius, so he made a simple version for himself.
When he showed the tomb palace he designed to the rebel leaders and asked them to build him a tomb palace, the soldiers present looked at him with incomprehensible expressions.
Which king who has only been on the throne for a year would be in a hurry to build a tomb for himself?
No matter what they thought, Xi Yan left humming a song.
After witnessing Xi Yan's continued promiscuity after ascending the throne and the boring daily life of the temple priests, the rebels' surveillance of them decreased a lot.
After all, the people they sent had been watching the temple for several months, and before the temple priests had any reaction, those people had a mental breakdown.
They had to admire the temple priests for being so tolerant.
Two years after the change, the surveillance forces withdrew from the priests' temple and instead surrounded the temple inside and outside. No one in the temple disturbed the temple priests anymore.
At the same time, the Priest Temple welcomed another 'uninvited guest' - Bai Ruofeng, who came and went without a trace, and was always known as the 'Divine Thief'.
She calmly held back her breath and walked into the priest's temple as if there was no one else around, turning a blind eye to the guards outside.
The priest of the temple is currently reading books in the study room of the side hall.
She never chose to leave because she had an obsession. This obsession made her relive the scene of that night in her sleep every day and night in the past two years.
“Are you the temple priest?”
Bai Ruofeng quietly came to the back of the temple priest.
The temple priest did not look back immediately. She took out the volume she wanted and then slowly turned around.
She stared at the unfamiliar face in front of her, and after a moment she said, "Are you okay?"
“There have been rumors about the priest from the outside, so I have wanted to meet you for a long time.”
Bai Ruofeng's voice was lazy, but his tone was respectful.
“Did I disappoint you?”
The temple priest opened the book and asked her calmly.
"No." Bai Ruofeng shook her head and said suddenly, "If you want to leave, I will find a way to take you away."
The temple priest's flipping movements remained unchanged, without even a trace of hesitation.
“No need.”
