These people have always been in the national capital, and they are deeply protected, how can they know the difficulties and misery of the frontier?

"If the general can't do it, can my father's seat still sit safely?"

Xi Yan's eyes showed disgust, and he didn't bother to hide it anymore.

The king was taken aback by his sudden appearance.

"Big, bold!" He reprimanded him inwardly, "Xi Yan, the widow is really too indulgent to you, you dare to say this kind of thing!" ”

"Why don't you dare?"

Xi Yan laughed sarcastically, "The third and sixth are about to fight for the results, I think the third child has a great chance of winning, how will you abdicate when the time comes, father." ”

was so frightened by Xi Yan that the king had no intention of caring about the war outside, and drove Xi Yan out in a panic.

Xi Yan shrugged his shoulders and left without caring under the awe-shocked gaze of the palace maids.

Not long after he left, the king fell ill again in a fit of rage, and this time he never came down from the couch again.

The king did not act, and Xi Yan had no choice but to use the strength he could use to try his best to transport the materials over.

But these materials were without exception, and there was no news after they arrived in that city, which made Xi Yan more and more sure that the rebels must have fought back, but for some reason, they have not moved, and they have not captured the city as before.

The lost capital entered the winter, and the heavy snow fell on the eaves of the temple, gathering a layer of snow.

It has been more than half a year since the general set out on the expedition.

There was no definite news about the frontier, Xi Yan could only suppress his anxious emotions, and because he could really calm down with the priest of the temple, he ran to the temple more often.

This time, the temple priests did not receive him.

The priest said to him apologetically, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, but the priest is cultivating and won't let anyone disturb you." ”

Xi Yan looked surprised: "So suddenly? ”

However, the priest of the temple often cultivated, so there was no surprise on his face, he nodded, and asked, "Then did she say when it will end?" ”

"Got it." Wu Zhen nodded, "The priest said that it would be when spring begins next year. ”

"Four months is so long."

Xi Yan was stunned by this date.

Wu Zhen was also a little helpless and puzzled: "Xu is Lord Priest has realized something, so it took longer than before." ”

"I see."

What else could the temple priests realize? With only those discerning eyes, everything in the world has nowhere to hide in her eyes.

With uneasy emotions, Xi Yan left the temple.

This year's winter passed exceptionally fast, and before Xi Yan could react, another year's Lantern Festival banquet had arrived.

It's been almost a year since Ember left, and he hasn't seen the temple priest for more than two months, Xi Yan originally thought it would be boring, but time passed quickly.

In the competition between the third prince and the sixth prince, as Xi Yan expected, the third prince won.

The people of the third prince's faction finally beheaded the sixth prince to show the public, not only to deter the courtiers, but also to warn Xi Yan, after all, among the princes who are still alive, only the victorious third prince and him are left.

Xi Yan knew that the third prince was sensitive and suspicious, and it didn't take long for him to turn his attention to him.

It's just that something he didn't expect happened.

After half a year, news came from the frontier again, on the day of the Lantern Festival Lantern Feast - the general became the leader of the rebels and was on his way to lead the army and horses to capture the national capital.

Xi Yan could hardly believe his ears.

Ember became the leader of the rebels? How is this possible?!

But looking at the court, there was already a lot of quarrel, and all the red-faced ministers, Xi Yan had to believe it, and the third prince, who had just become the victor and had not had time to force the old king to abdicate, had a terrible gloomy face.

"How could a general defect?!"

"This can still be fake! Several cities have already been captured by the General! ”

"But he still subjugated the large nomadic tribes of the frontier!"

"Even so, it's not a reason for him to rebel!"

"Could it be that the general has already been in contact with the rebels, and this expedition is just for the sake of internal and external cooperation?!"

“.”

A new round of quarrels broke out in the court because of this speculation.

Xi Yan couldn't listen anymore, and left before they could start arguing, he hurried back to his prince's mansion, gathered the men and horses available to him, and told them to meet the general at all costs.

The news that the general led the rebels to capture the national capital did not hide the people of the national capital for a long time, but in a few days, the rumors and rumors in the national capital increased.

The people couldn't believe it, but they couldn't help but hide in fear, not only them, but even some ministers and priests who got the news were also seizing the time to transfer themselves.

The capital of the country is the most prosperous and lively center of the lost country, but now they are facing a general who holds soldiers and horses and intimidates the world.

Under the sword of the great general, no one had that self-confidence, and swore that he could hold the national capital.

Xi Yan didn't pay attention to the actions of the outside world, he still focused on sending people to find out the news of the general, but he could only get the news of which city the general had captured, and his people couldn't even meet the general himself.

At the same time, he suddenly found that there was a lot of depression on the streets of the national capital, and the princes and ministers who could run away immediately had already run away, and even the priests in the temple were still cultivating with the priests of the temple still cultivating, and they also secretly ran away.

The king wanted to run, but he couldn't.

After the third prince forced him to abdicate, he abandoned him in the palace and left with his men and horses.

He believes that as long as the green mountains are left, he is not afraid of running out of firewood!

The rebels were getting closer and closer, until they were outside the capital, and everything they could run in the city had run out.

Xi Yan has been staying quietly in his prince's mansion, and has not stopped the people in the mansion from escaping, the young ones have all run away, and only some old, weak, sick and disabled people who can't run are still with him.

When he realized that he couldn't see Ember, he gave up and asked the temple priest if the temple priest had finished his cultivation.

Now that the temple was empty, everyone else had run away, except for the old, dedicated priests who were stubbornly determined to die in the temple.

The day before the rebels landed in the capital, Xi Yan arrived outside the priest's temple for the last time.

"Hasn't she come out yet?"

The black priest sighed: "Perhaps, the priest has already expected this scene and can't bear to witness it. ”

"What about you?" Xi Yan asked rhetorically, "This group of rebels also wants to overthrow the temple and establish a new regime. ”

The black priest smiled, and his eyes were relieved and calm: "Dying in the temple is the fate of every priest." ”

“.”

Xi Yan pursed his lips and was silent, he could see that the time left for the Wuzhen priest was running out, and his movements and thinking were obviously slowed down.
