Xi Yan nodded: "According to the information provided by those prefecture ministers, most of those rebels are composed of these rogues. ”

"Just a few rogues, they scared these shitties and fled back overnight?"

The corners of Si Yan's mouth pulled out a mocking arc, and his eyes were full of disdain.

"Ahem." Xi Yan suddenly felt embarrassed when he thought of his father, who was even more scared than the minister this morning, "I think there are a lot of strange things in it, and I have already sent someone to investigate the situation." ”

"Hmm."

Xi Yan's ability in this regard is recognized by the general.

As soon as the words changed, Si Yan raised his eyebrows: "Your father, didn't you scare the throne to sit unsteadily?" ”

"No, but it's pretty much it." The corners of Xi Yan's mouth twitched, and his tone was full of speechlessness, "He was so frightened that he actually said something like 'Whoever can quell the rebellion will be the next monarch'." ”

"Oh?" Ember came with a hint of interest.

"It is conceivable that the third and sixth were originally allies, and I am afraid that they will tear their faces after this incident."

After all, there is only one throne, even if they worked together to bring down the other competitors before, but at the critical moment, these two will only turn against each other more ruthlessly.

"Are they ignoring you?"

Xi Yan rolled his eyes: "Although I don't like to use this matter as a bargaining chip, I can't really sit idly by and ignore the rebellion." ”

Ember snorted, "With that alone, you've already won them." ”

"Don't." Xi Yan seemed to have heard something terrifying, and his face was full of resistance, "I'd better be a loose waste." ”

"Out of breath."

Even though he said this, there was no trace of sarcasm in his eyes.

Xi Yan was not angry, and a happy expression appeared on his solemn face: "Then again, why were you so angry just now?" ”

"I'm not angry."

"Okay, no anger." Xi Yan naturally continued, causing the general to glance at him speechlessly.

"So, you still haven't seen the temple priest?"

"See."

Ember glared at him, "Just, she said something to me. ”

"What?"

"She said I belonged on the prairie."

After answering, Si Yan lifted the glass of wine in his hand again, and went straight to his stomach without changing his face.

"Big brother, sooner or later, this strong wine of mine will be drunk by you as an ordinary wine." Xi Yan watched his movements speechlessly, and the next second he naturally picked up, "What does this mean?" Hinting that it's time for you to go back to the frontier? ”

In the next moment, perceiving the general's warning gaze, Xi Yan let out a 'forehead' and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

What does that mean? Wait, Frontier! ”

Xi Yan suddenly realized, he turned his head to look at Si Yan in disbelief: "It can't have something to do with the rebellion, right?!" ”

A month later, the spies sent out by Xi Yan brought back the news.

It's all bad news, so I'll just say it."

Xi Yan threw the secret letter presented by the spies to the general, "There are indeed small-scale rebellions in the prefectures close to the frontier. ”

Si Yan took the secret letter with a calm brow: "What about the local soldiers?" Didn't go to the repression? ”

Xi Yan said coldly: "This is another bad news, those soldiers who defend the city have been rebelled by the rogues. ”

“？！”

Si Yan raised his eyes in disbelief, and the fingers holding the secret letter clenched suddenly: "So, this group of people is already a rebel? ”

Xi Yan nodded with difficulty: "And the spies also heard a rumor." He said this, looking into the eyes of Ember and stopped.

“？”

Ember frowned, and his tone was cold and decisive, "Say." ”

"This group of rebels seems to be infiltrating the barracks on the border - I say this because the nomadic tribes on the frontier have become active again, and this time they have learned to form alliances."

That's the worst news.

The frontier has always been guarded by border soldiers, and almost no one can pass through their eyes and ears to get the word out.

But if no one passed on the news, how could those few nomadic tribes who had been beaten by the generals suddenly become active, broke their arrogance, and were willing to form an alliance.

"Traitor."

At this point, Ember's eyes couldn't be colder.

There are too many soldiers on the border, and when Si Shen commands, he has always relied on iron and blood, and everyone in the army is afraid of him and is willing to obey his call, so he can twist them into a rope and play a huge role.

But now Ember wasn't there, and what had happened during the previous ritual had spread to the frontier over the course of several months

The foundation of the kingdom is crumbling, and the soldiers who have been enduring hardships for the sake of the frontier are afraid that they will no longer be easy to appease, so they can easily be rebelled.

Xi Yan nodded.

He sighed: "In a few days, these news will be able to reach the national capital, and then there will be a lot of quarrel in the court." ”

"A bunch of old stubborns who only talk about it."

Ember sneered, his tone full of disdain.

Xi Yan didn't speak, but nodded approvingly. These ministers have always enjoyed stability and prosperity in the national capital, but how can they experience the hardships of the frontier? So they simply can't solve these problems.

As Xi Yan expected, three days later, the news of the rebellion in the border prefecture reached the national capital, and for a while, the people of the national capital were panicked, and the court was arguing every day.

Ember didn't want to listen to those stupid speeches, so he simply stayed in the barracks, and the king didn't dare to call him.

The courtiers just wanted the general to send troops to suppress those rebellions, but even if they could say such things, they had to have the ability to invite the general to do so.

Not a single courtier dared to go, not even the king.

In the silence, a courtier suddenly spoke: "No. May I tell you, Priest? ”

It seems that no matter what happens, it will eventually come to the point of asking the priest of the temple.

This minister's proposal was endorsed by some ministers, but some ministers expressed opposing opinions.

"The temple has never been involved in politics or war, and it is even less likely that the priests will interfere in the affairs of the kingdom."

"But the previous Plague Temple priest made a move!"

"That's a natural disaster! The priest sent down a divine punishment! ”

As soon as the unpredictable 'divine punishment' was mentioned, the court, which was still arguing, instantly quieted down.

The king sitting on the throne had more headaches than they did, especially these ultra-muffled voices, which made his chest feel stuffy for a while.

After a moment of silence, the courtiers turned their gaze to the king, and they said in unison, "Please also ask the lord of the kingdom to settle the matter as soon as possible." ”

King: "."

His eyes were flustered, his eyes gurgling, and he wondered how to get the question over.

Anyway, the rebels are on the frontier, and the national capital is now guarded by a great general, what does it have to do with him?

As soon as he thought this, the king fell abruptly from his throne.

"The !! of the Lord"
