The news spread that the temple priest had killed the general with a single sword, and the rebels could hardly believe their ears.

Even the ministers who had not yet had time to be tried by the rebels were shocked, and the temple priests had made a move?!

But the people of the temple are running out!

As a result of this, the rebels split into several factions, some clamoring for the temple to be taken down and beheaded for public performance to avenge the general, while others were afraid of the temple priests and were reluctant to move on

Eventually, they brought back the body of the Great General and sent heavy troops to guard the temple and watch over the temple priests.

At the same time, they did not forget the task of overthrowing the theocracy, and after beheading the king for public display, they put a puppet on the throne.

This puppet is Xi Yan.

Xi Yan couldn't have imagined that just one night later, things would evolve into such an absurd situation.

He wanted to go to the temple priest to inquire about the situation, but he himself was watched by the rebels and was forced to inherit the throne, so he could only endure it for the time being.

Half a month after ascending to the throne, the lieutenant general before Ember secretly stuffed a secret letter to him.

Xi Yan's eyebrows jumped, and he found an opportunity to unfold the secret letter.

It was the last letter Ember left him.

According to the letter, it was not long after he took the city that had been captured by the rebels that he realized a very serious problem: most of the rebels, except for a few rogues, were soldiers who had previously guarded the frontier and veterans who had survived the battlefield but were crippled.

They think 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 frontier is because there is a temple behind all this.

Since the establishment of the lost country, they have been plagued by frontier problems, but because of the existence of the temple, they are still standing.

And now, with the kingship decaying and the temple depraved, they have the best opportunity for change.

Because of the general's prestige and military achievements, and the fact that he had defended the frontier for many years, the rebels were very committed to wooing him.

Ember ignored it at first.

It wasn't until he began to attack the allied nomadic tribes that the battle was very difficult, and there was a dissent in the military camp and the supply in the rear was cut off.

If it weren't for the prayers of the temple priests before the expedition, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to hold on to it many times after escaping death.

Later, when they were cornered, it was the rebels who came to their aid with men and horses, helping them win the final victory.

At that moment, Ember finally understood what the general trend was.

After that, he did not resist the support of the rebels, and returned to the capital with his men and horses in one fell swoop, but he did not want to change, but just wanted to return to see the priests of the temple one last time.

At the end of the letter, he said that Xi Yan should find an opportunity to take the priest of the temple away.

After reading it, Xi Yan's eyes were heavy, and he put the letter next to the candle flame and let the bright candle flame burn.

The letter was quickly burned by the flames and turned into ashes, and he finally couldn't hold back his scolding: "Si Yan, you really will find trouble for me!" ”

But he couldn't say anything, the general had already given them a lot of time, and he could now see that he was making great noise on his way back to the capital, probably just so that they would have time to escape.

But he didn't leave, neither did the temple priests, and neither would they leave the land.

Since that day, Xi Yan has tried to contact the temple priest, but he underestimated the rebels' fear of the temple priest, and once almost exposed him.

Xi Yan had to find another way.

Temple.

The people in the temple were driven away by the rebels, and the priests of the temple calmly did what they had done in the past under the watchful eye of countless pairs of eyes.

It's just that what she most often does is sit on the high platform of the priest's temple in a daze, and she stares blankly at the stage, not knowing what she is thinking.

Sometimes she was in a daze all day, and she was not tired, but the rebels who were spying on her were tired first.

It didn't take long for them to take her saber away, and at the same time they had less power to spy on her, and the temple priests didn't care.

After a year of change, the vitality of the national capital gradually recovered.

Most of these rebels were soldiers who had been stationed on the frontier, and many of them were relatives of the capital, so the people of the capital did not suffer.

Xi Yan learned to be a king under the instruction of the rebels, although he was a king, he also fished for three days and dried nets for two days. However, after a year of precipitation, he has also secretly accumulated a lot of strength.

At the very least, he could send someone to inquire about the establishment of the general's tomb palace, and even personally designed a tomb palace for him.

After Xi Yan finished designing, he felt that he was really a genius, so he made a simple version for himself.

When he took the tomb palace he designed to the leaders of the rebel army and asked them to help him build a tomb, the eyes of the soldiers present were speechless.

How could a king who had only been on the throne for a year be in a hurry to build a tomb palace for himself?

No matter what they thought, Xi Yan hummed a song and left.

After witnessing Xi Yan's unrelenting routine after ascending the throne and the tedious daily life of the temple priests, the rebels sped much less on them.

After all, the people they sent had been watching the temple for months, and before the temple priests could react, those people had a nervous breakdown.

They had to admire that the temple priests were so patient.

Two years after the change, the forces that watched withdrew from the temple of priests and instead surrounded the temple and beyond, with no one in the temple disturbing the temple priests.

At the same time, the Priest's Temple ushered in another 'uninvited guest' - Bai Ruofeng, who came and went without a trace and was known as the 'thief'.

She calmly collected her breath and walked into the priest's temple as if no one was around, ignoring the guards outside.

The temple priest was now flipping through the scrolls in the study of the side hall.

She never chose to leave, because she had an obsession, and this obsession made her relive the scene of that night in her sleep every day and night in the past two years.

"You're the Temple Priest?"

Bai Ruofeng quietly came behind the priest of the temple.

The temple priest didn't immediately turn back, she pulled out the book she wanted before slowly turning around.

She stared at the unfamiliar face in front of her, and only spoke up after a moment: "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

"Rumors about the priesthood have been going on and on, so I've been wanting to meet you for a long time."

Bai Ruofeng's voice was lazy, but his tone was respectful.

"Did you disappoint?"

The temple priest spread out the scroll and asked her calmly.

"Nope." Bai Ruofeng shook her head, and she said abruptly, "If you want to leave, I will find a way to take you away." ”

The temple priest's movements remained unchanged, not even the slightest hesitation.

"No need."
