In an instant, the court exploded.

The king was supported by the servants beside him tremblingly, but his eyes turned white and his body twitched, which looked like a sign of illness.

For a while, the ministers hurriedly took the king away and sent someone to pass on the medical officer.

In the crowd, the third and sixth princes also followed, but unlike the anxious and flustered expressions of other ministers, the two of them acted more calmly.

After all, the king is not young anymore, if he gets sick now, wouldn't he be able to pass the throne to them soon?
Thinking of this, both of them left only one confidant behind to investigate the situation in the palace, and left to make arrangements in a hurry.

The news that the king fell ill in the court hall reached Xi Yan's ears after he was taken away.

"epilepsy?"

He thought, a flash of clarity flashed across his eyes.

The king has been enjoying himself for so many years, and his body will collapse sooner or later, but he did not expect that it will be at this critical time.

Xi Yan frowned. He could foresee that in the next period of time, there would be a bloody storm in the capital. It would be fine if it was in the past. After all, those people never stopped fighting for a day. Stack together!
Xi Yan pondered for a long time in the wing room of the restaurant, and finally called the manager of the restaurant.

The steward bowed respectfully: "Your Highness."

"You go to the barracks yourself and bring my words to the general, and you must tell him yourself."

"Yes."

Before the steward arrived at the barracks, Si Jin received the news from the palace. He was not surprised when he heard it, but his expression was unpredictable and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The steward took Xi Yan's words and left. Not long after, the general rode a fast horse to the holy mountain.

When the tallow tree priest came to summon the general to ask for an audience, the priest of the temple was standing under the high platform of the priest's temple, staring up at the sky above him in a daze.

The dome of the priest's temple is a vivid mural, telling the years when the temple was built along with the loss of the country.

"...Let him in."

After a while, the priest of the temple slowly spoke.

Priest Wuzhi bowed to leave, and then the general walked in with steady and powerful steps.

His steps were all too familiar to the temple priests, and she turned around just as he was about to reach her.

She called softly: "General."

Si Jin stopped, stared into her eyes, and said firmly, "You knew I would come."

"Yes."

The temple priest nodded.

"As you said, the rebellion happened, and the war is coming again."

The general spent several years of time and painstaking efforts to usher in a short period of stability in the lost frontier. Who would have thought that the problem was rotting inside.

This let him know clearly that the foundation of the lost country is rotten and cannot be saved.But this has nothing to do with him, he can completely walk away, but——

The general looked at the calm and self-sufficient person in front of him, and he remained calm from the beginning to the end, even if it was related to her fate.

She really isolated herself from the world, seemingly merciful, but in fact she has been watching indifferently, even she doesn't care.

Si Jin slightly looked away, and said, "I will be going out soon."

But he couldn't care less, especially about her.So what he can do is to save this declining dynasty as much as possible, at the very least, give him some more time.

The temple priest nodded again: "I know."

"Do you remember my previous proposal?"

Looking at the slightly confused eyes of the temple priest, Si Jin sneered, "I said, take you to see the beautiful mountains and rivers outside."

"."

The priest of the temple was dumb, and answered him with silence.

"I see."

The general smiled mockingly.

He didn't say anything after that, but silently followed behind the temple priest, watching her every move.

He watched her carefully and attentively flip through the book, watched her water the only green plant in the study, watched her stand under the big tree in the courtyard of the side hall and watch the leaves fall with the wind.
These are all the daily routines of the priests of the temple. She has repeated it countless days and nights, but this time, she looked helplessly at the 'little tail' behind her: "Isn't the general busy?"

"Oh, I'm not busy today."

Si Jin panicked calmly.

How could he not be busy?During this period of time, piles of invitations for various temptations were sent to the general's mansion and the barracks, and people from all sides wanted to know his attitude.

The priest of the temple sighed softly: "Why are you lying in front of me, I can see it."

"...I did it on purpose, what can you do with me."

The general's attitude suddenly became bad.

Of course, this was just what he thought was bad. Compared with his methods of punishing soldiers, this badness was like playing tricks.

Not surprisingly, the temple priest was indifferent, and there was even a fleeting smile in his eyes.

Si Jin's attention was focused on her, so when he noticed this change, his eyes shone with surprise.

"You like my attitude?"

While he was surprised, he was also a little depressed. The priest of the temple likes him to kill her?But this is a bit embarrassing for him.

How could he be so fierce to the priest of the temple.

"The temple priest has no preferences."

However, this sentence fell into the ears of the general, that is——speaking hard.

He seemed to have a secret, with a pleasant smile in his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up: "Really? You always have a preference."

The temple priest stubbornly denied, "No, I don't."

"Huh?" The general approached her and said deliberately, "Then why do I feel that you are partial to me?"

"."

The temple priest fell into a stunned silence.

Seeing her falling into deep thought, she seemed to be thinking about whether her attitude towards the general was partial. A trace of annoyance flashed in the general's eyes.

She shouldn't have told her. What if he still neglected him like last time?
The temple priest thought for a long time before raising his head in confusion, and asked him seriously: "Is that a preference?"

"?"

Si Jin didn't expect that she would come to such a conclusion after frowning for so long just now?
However, Si Jin tried his best to restrain the expression on his face, but his heart was already full of joy, how could she be so cute! ! !

Seeing that the priest of the temple did not show any resistance, Si Jin nodded reservedly: "Yes, isn't that enough preference?"

In his mind, he imagined that after the priest of the temple woke up, he readily accepted himself.
"I see." The priest of the temple interrupted his fantasy solemnly, "It may be that I have slackened in my practice recently, so I will just practice behind closed doors."

"???"

Si Jin's eyes widened suddenly, and he watched in disbelief as the priest of the temple closed the door to isolate him from the outside.

"."

For the first time, he realized what it meant to shoot himself in the foot.
