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

Even the ministers who hadn't had time to be tried by the rebels were shocked. The temple priest made a move? !

But the people in the temple are obviously almost gone!

Because of this incident, the rebel army split into several factions. Some clamored to take down the temple and beheaded the temple priest to show off to the general to avenge the general, while some were afraid that the temple priest would not move forward.
In the end, they brought back the body of the great general, and sent heavy soldiers to guard around the temple to monitor the priests of the temple.

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

This puppet is obviously—Xi Yan.

Xi Yan never expected that things would turn into such an absurd situation overnight.

He intends to ask the temple priests about the situation, but he himself is being monitored by the rebels and forced to inherit the throne, so he can only endure it temporarily.

Half a month after ascending the throne, Si Jin's former lieutenant secretly slipped a secret letter to him.

Xi Yan's eyebrows twitched, and he took a chance to unfold the secret letter.

That was the last letter Si Jin left for him.

According to the letter, Si Jin realized a very serious problem shortly after taking the city captured by the rebels: Except for a small number of rogues, most of the rebels were former soldiers and soldiers who guarded the frontier. Survived on the battlefield but lost a crippled veteran.

They think that the reason why the royal power is so arrogant, doesn't take them seriously, and never cares about the suffering of the people on the frontier is because there is a temple behind all this to cover them up.

Since the establishment of the Lost Kingdom, they have been plagued by border issues, but because of the existence of the temple, they still stand tall.

But now, with the decay of the kingship and the corruption of the temple, they have ushered in the best opportunity for change.

Because the general is well-known and distinguished in battle, he has been defending the frontier for many years, so the rebel army is very committed to wooing him.

Si Jin ignored it at first.

Until he started to attack the allied nomadic tribes, the battle was very difficult, there was a disagreement in the barracks, and the supplies in the rear were cut off.

If it weren't for relying on the blessings spoken by the priests of the temple before the expedition, I am afraid that he would not be able to persist after escaping many times.

Later, when they were cornered, it was the rebel army who brought troops to support them and helped them win the final victory.

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

After that, he didn't resist the support of the rebel army any more, and led his troops back to the capital in one fell swoop, but he didn't want to change, he just wanted to come back to see the priest of the temple for the last time.

At the end of the letter, it said that Xi Yan should find a chance to take the temple priest away.

After reading it, Xi Yan's eyes were heavy. He put the letter beside 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 hold back from cursing: "Si Jin, you're really looking for trouble for me!"

But he couldn't say anything, the general had given them a lot of time, and he could see now that he was making a big splash on the way back to the capital, probably just to give them time to escape.

But he didn't leave, neither did the priests of the temple, neither of them would leave this land.

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

Xi Yan had to find another way.

Temple.

The people in the temple were all driven away by the rebel army. Under the surveillance of countless pairs of eyes, the priests of the temple calmly did their usual actions.

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

Sometimes she would be in a daze for a whole day, and before she was tired, the rebels who watched her got tired first.

It wasn't long before they took her sword away, and at the same time, there were fewer forces watching her, and the temple priests didn't care.

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

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

Under the behest of the rebel army, Xi Yan learned to be a king. Although he became a king, he still spent three days fishing and two days drying the net. However, after a year of precipitation, he 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, and even personally designed a tomb for him.

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

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

How can a king who has only been on the throne for a year be in a hurry to build a tomb for himself?
No matter what they thought, Xi Yan hummed and left.

After witnessing Xi Yan's unscrupulousness after ascension to the throne and the boring daily life of the priests of the temple, the surveillance of them by the rebels decreased a lot.

After all, the people they sent had been stalking the temple for several months, and before the priests of the temple responded, those people had a nervous breakdown.

They had to admire the temple priest for being so tolerant.

Two years after the reform, those monitoring forces withdrew from the temple of priests, and surrounded the inside and outside of the temple instead, and no one in the temple disturbed the priests of the temple anymore.

At the same time, another "uninvited guest" came to the Priest's Temple——Bai Ruofeng, who had always been known as a "thief" after losing his country without a trace.

She calmly restrained her breath, and walked into the priest's temple like no one else, turning a blind eye to the guards outside.

At this time, the priest of the temple was flipping through the scrolls in the study room of the side hall.

She has never chosen to leave, because she has an obsession, and this obsession has made her replay 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 behind the priest of the temple.

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

She stared at the strange face in front of her, and after a while she said: "...are you okay?"

"There have been rumors about Mr. Priest, so I have long wanted to see you."

Bai Ruofeng's voice was lazy, but his tone was full of respect.

"Have you been disappointed?"

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

"No." Bai Ruofeng shook her head, and she said abruptly, "If you want to leave, I will find a way to take you away."

The movement of the priests of the temple to flip through the pages remained unchanged, without even a trace of hesitation.

"No need."
