Chapter 474 Previous life 12
“Duoya still wants to continue to serve you, and you want to continue to accompany you, but on this long journey, Duoya can only accompany you here.”
The temple priest looked at her tenderly.
“If there is an afterlife, Duoya hopes to be your friend and your relative.”
The temple priest responded: "Then it's settled."
This epidemic lasted for three months before it finally ended.
The temple suffered heavy losses, and the chanting voices everywhere before were also reduced a lot. People looked sad and walked by silently.
As one of the heroes who solved the epidemic, Xi Yan received a rare commendation and reward from the king, which made the surviving princes and princesses very jealous.
But this time, Xi Yan did not pay attention to the treasures that were given. He went up to the Holy Mountain alone and came to the outside of the priest's temple.
However, outside the main hall, he was stopped by the tallow priest.
“Your Highness.”
Xi Yan’s lips moved and he glanced at the closed hall: “Didn’t the temple select a new attendant?”
The tallow priest shook his head: "The priest is unwilling."
“Then, can I, my student, continue to follow her?”
The tallow priest's expression seemed a little surprised, and then he shook his head again under Xi Yan's expectant look.
"The priest has given instructions. You have learned the lesson and there is no need to come again."
ˆ “.”
Xi Yan finally understood that in the end only the temple priest was left.
From now on, she will be burdened with boundless loneliness and an unspeakable fate alone.
one year later.
Succeeded in recovering all the cities in the northwest territory, and intimidated the foreigners so that they would not dare to invade again, General Si Jin, and returned victoriously.
The previous disaster that almost destroyed the capital has passed. The ground of the capital is clean and open, and there is no trace of the original haze.
Xi Yan returned to the royal family and still went his own way amidst the power disputes among his brothers and sisters, wandering among the Goulan tile houses.
The temple has welcomed many new people, all of whom are rootless people from all over the world. However, the priest temple is rarely opened.
The king forgot his original fear and showed great generosity in the face of General Sijin who could bring him stability on the frontier.
Not only did he make him a general, rewarded him with a spacious mansion, and sent a thousand slaves there, he was also granted permission not to hand over the spoils of war.
This matter was opposed by many courtiers, and there was still opposition until the day of Sijin's triumphal return.
But soon, they couldn't tell.
Because as soon as Si Jin arrived in the capital, he executed several people who tried to assassinate him in full view of the public.
The spear pierced his body, and the warm blood was sprinkled on his face, but he didn't even frown. His body naturally showed the evil aura accumulated from the **** killings on the battlefield.
Most of the courtiers in the capital are pampered people who can only play tricks and intrigues. Once they meet someone like Si Jin who is unreasonable and direct, they will naturally have no choice but to behave with their tail between their legs.
Si Jin did not return to his general's residence. He was directly stationed in the military camp on the outskirts of the capital.
The king was even more happy when he saw that he had no intention of making friends with powerful people or fighting for power. He also rewarded him with many treasures, which were all piled up in the general's mansion.
Xi Yan was caught red-handed on the first day he tried to sneak into the military camp controlled by Si Jin.
When Si Jin's lieutenant pushed the disguised Xi Yan in front of him, he looked at the poorly disguised man in front of him, raised his eyebrows, and then directly carried him into the military tent like a chicken.
xi Yan: "."
Shame, what a shame!
After entering the military tent, Si Jin let go of his hand and asked bluntly: "Why did the ninth prince come to my difficult military camp?"
Xi Yan was not surprised that Si Jin was so sharp. What surprised him was how could he guess that he was the Ninth Prince at a glance?
"You ever met me?"
Xi Yan thought about it carefully. He had been enjoying himself in Goulan Restaurant, and these places were not places where the general would set foot.
“Ninth Prince Xi Yan, on the surface, is a carefree waste, but you took the lead in solving the epidemic a year ago. For this reason, you fell into the siege of other princes and princesses. One year has passed, but you are still fine.”
Si Jin raised the corners of his lips and said, "In addition, I also know that you have been taught by the priests of the temple."
ˆ “.”
Xi Yan was silent.
He always felt that the sentence added by the general at the end was the key point.
However, Xi Yan likes to communicate with smart and interesting people.
He and the general looked at each other, and the other seemed to have the same intention, so they both sat down in tacit understanding.
Although the beginning of the encounter was a bit embarrassing, Xi Yan and Si Jin chatted all night and realized that they met too late.
There is just one thing that Xi Yan finds very puzzling.
He had drunk too much in the middle of the night, and his mind was a little unclear. He asked in a daze: "Si Jin, why do you always mention the temple priest?"
It was obvious that he was talking to him about the kingdom's ills, life, and character, but in the end, without exception, they would all come back to the temple priests.
He just studied with the temple priests for a year. What could he learn? In the end, the temple priest drove him away!
Si Jin's drinking capacity was much better than his. Looking at Xi Yan who was already drunk, he shook the cup in his hand carelessly: "Of course, I want to see her."
ˆ “.”
“.?”
!!”
When Xi Yan heard this sentence in his sleep the next day, he was frightened and woke up.
He looked around and saw that it was his own residence. He probably drank too much yesterday and Si Jin sent someone to send him back.
Just as he was about to continue sleeping peacefully, he suddenly heard an uncontrollable noise coming from outside.
Xi Yan couldn't sleep because he always felt that something big was about to happen.
When he walked out of the palace, he saw a group of maids in the prince's palace gathered together, seeming to be discussing something, with frightened expressions on their faces.
"what are you guys saying."
Xi Yan suddenly made a sound, which startled the group of maids who were discussing and almost jumped up.
They looked at Xi Yan timidly: "Your Highness, Your Highness."
Xi Yan’s eyes were confused: “What scares you so much?”
Several maids looked at each other, timid and did not dare to breathe. Finally, Xi Yan pointed at a maid casually.
“You, as far as you are concerned.”
The maid who was pointed out was on the verge of crying and explained tremblingly: "Your Highness, it is spreading throughout the country that the general ignored the divine and royal authority, broke into the temple, and went to see the temple priest."
".What did you say?"
Xi Yan couldn't react immediately, so the little maid explained it again in a trembling voice.
This time Xi Yan finally understood.
“It’s over.”
His eyes were dazed.
It turns out that it was not a dream talk, but something Si Jin said just last night.
This guy’s ambition has never been about royal power, his goal is divine power!
