The knife cut on Xie Jue's waist and abdomen was particularly deep. He had always been good at forbearing. He never told anyone about this kind of injury. If Ying Yi hadn't found out, he would still have to hold on. In fact, as far as he was concerned, he really didn't feel pain when he was in Chaoyang Palace. The nameplate in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds. All he could see was the scorched corpses on the ground, and his mind was filled with Fang Chuning's voice and smile, and he couldn't feel a trace of pain. The military doctor gave him a bowl of decoction to numb his pain, and then sutured the wound. Xie Jue's body was a little cold due to excessive blood loss.

Ying Yi stood guard and reported the situation in the temple, including Han Ziqi's cry of injustice. Xie Jue actually knew who the mastermind was. Whether Han Ziqi knew about it or not, it didn't really matter.

"Your Majesty, we have to leave Sangnan as soon as possible. Such a big thing happened in the palace. If the people of Sangnan transfer their hatred to us and the people rise up to attack us, we will face an extremely bad situation. King Sangnan is in the eyes of the people. The high prestige is very high, and the high priest has long sent people to spread the news that it was you who killed King Sangnan. After dawn, I am afraid that the news will spread throughout Peony City, and the people will definitely come to besiege the palace."

Master Gu was advising from the side. He also knew that Fang Chuning's incident had dealt a heavy blow to Xie Jue, but now he had to consider the next thing. The news had been sent to the border by flying pigeons, and Dugu Jing and the commander would definitely send troops to attack Sang. Nan, the peace talks have broken down. There are almost no conditions that Sang Nan wants. The high priest single-handedly ruined all the efforts of the royal family.

Master Gu thought, this is the rhythm of dying together!

He couldn't even understand what the high priest was thinking. Isn't it good to live well? We have to drag so many people to the funeral.

"Where is Han Ziqi?" Xie Jue asked.

"Outside the temple, General Lin is detaining them. The high priest and others are worshiping inside the temple. No one is disturbing them." Ying Yi reported in a calm voice as much as possible, but his knife was already ready to kill everyone in the priest's courtyard. Pay homage to his dead brother!

"Got it!" Xie Jue's eyes were cold. After the wound was sutured and medicine was applied, Xie Jue ignored the military doctor's obstruction and took people to the temple.

Outside the temple, the lights were bright, and the firelight made the surroundings of the temple look like day. The Ningzhou cavalry were afraid that they would escape. There were three floors inside and three floors outside, and not a single fly could fly out!

"Your Majesty, we are in the temple!" Lin Xiao and Zhang Boxing came to greet him when they saw him. They had heard about Fang Chuning, but they did not dare to reveal it in front of Xie Jue.

The pain is hidden beneath everyone's calm exterior.

Han Ziqi hurriedly wanted to come over and explain, but was stopped by a soldier. Han Ziqi shouted anxiously, "Cousin, you have to believe me, we really don't know. We don't know that the high priest planned all this, and we don't know the entire Forbidden Army." Rebellion, the high priest and his father have equal power in Sangnan. If he wants to rebel, I can't stop him. Cousin, cousin, please listen to my explanation..."

Xie Jue looked past him and entered the temple with an expressionless face. Zhang Boxing grabbed Han Ziqi. He was quite polite to Han Ziqi before tonight, but now he violently pulled him back. His brows were very annoyed, "Our prince doesn't want to pay attention to you, don't do it." If you annoy him, get out of here!"

"..." Han Ziqi dared to be angry but dared not say anything. Now that the entire palace was under the control of Ningzhou Cavalry, it would be easy for Xie Jue to kill him. Han Ziqi prayed that the concubines and children in the palace had left the palace through the secret passage.

This is the first time Xie Jue has entered the temple of Priest Sangnan. It is magnificent, with various priestly rituals solemn and solemn, and the reliefs lifelike. There are caves one after another on the surrounding walls, and each small cave is lit with an ever-bright lamp. Han Ziqi said that there are 999 ever-bright lamps in the temple to protect the royal family of Sangnan and the people of Sangnan. Wealth and worry-free for generations to come.      Ridiculous!

Priests in white priest robes sat around on the futon, holding a small golden rattle in their hands. They rang the bell with one hand, making endless sounds, and murmuring words, as if they were reciting a piece of Sanskrit, which was long and complicated. There were dots on the altar. There was a fire, and very complex rune patterns were painted in front of the altar. They seemed to be performing a mysterious ritual.

In Sangnan, priests were most afraid of others disturbing the priest when casting spells, which would bring misfortune to others. However, Xie Jue didn't care. He drew out his sword and chopped down the long candle in the altar, splitting the prayer flags wrapped around the altar.

What kind of collision is he afraid of? No matter what kind of monster it is, just come to him. If he doesn't mind, don't call him Xie Jue.

The priests were indifferent and looked numb. However, as Xie Jue split the prayer flags, their spells stopped abruptly. The high priest looked at Xie Jue with a cold expression.

Xie Jue sheathed his sword, Zhang Boxing led people in, and roughly dragged all the priests except the high priest out, ignoring their struggles and curses.

The candles and incense burning in the temple exuded Xie Jue's most disgusting smell. He felt unlucky even if he got a little bit of incense ashes. He had never donated a tael of silver to the temple. He didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, let alone priests.

"What other last words do you have?" Xie Jue asked coldly. Although he sheathed his sword, his eyes were sharper than the sword. He looked up at the high golden sculpture. The sculpture was different from the Buddha. It was wearing a robe. Wearing a crown and hat, he was kind and dignified, "This is the god you believe in. It seems that he can't protect you tonight."

"Your Highness, I don't care about life or death. The body lives, but the soul lives forever. You kill me, but you can't kill my soul." The high priest looked at Xie Jue with a smile, "Sang Nan died, and the priests were buried together. This is Sang Nan It is a decree of the House of Priests that when my king signs the instrument of surrender, all shall be buried together.”

The high priest never married a wife or had children in his life. He had long been cut off from his family. He was aloof and cold, and never interacted with others. He had no weakness in the world and regarded death as home.

Xie Jue sneered, "Who are you to decide the fate of the Sangnan royal family and drag them to be buried together? It's your own business if you want to die. They still want to live well and find a way out for future generations. You caused King Sangnan to burn himself." In the Chaoyang Palace, you seduced Sang Nan's imperial army into fighting with the Ningzhou cavalry. Thousands of people were killed in the palace tonight, all because of your own selfishness. Is it a law? It's ridiculous. After Sang Nan surrendered, the Priesthood will be abolished. What more laws are needed? You started this rebellion just because you wanted revenge. You hated King Sangnan, so you just killed him. Why did you drag thousands of people with you and drag Sangnan to be buried with him? The duty of the priest Sangnan is to protect the royal family. , praying for your people, but you put the cart before the horse and have been dictatorial for more than 20 years. You encouraged the eldest prince to take charge of the station and raid the twelve states. On the surface, the eldest prince is bellicose and fatuous, but in fact you are fanning the flames behind the scenes, but you are Perfectly invisible, he will bear all the infamy for you. How many soldiers of Sangnan died for this under your instigation. You are not worthy of being a priest of Sangnan wearing this white robe. If my aunt knew that her childhood sweetheart, the young man, had become She will only feel disgusted if he becomes a murderous evil spirit!"
