Chapter 480 Previous life 18
The general said nothing, quietly waiting for the temple priest's witchcraft dance to end. The situation at the scene did not affect her at all.
Until the temple priests finished dancing, the surrounding sounds gradually became quieter.
The temple priest stopped and looked quietly at the situation below.
The princes and ministers present knelt down one after another and said in panic: "Please ask the priest to take charge of the overall situation."
The king is incompetent, and only the temple priests have the ability to stabilize the situation.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the military power at the altar belongs to the general, but if they directly request him, doesn’t it mean that they recognize his authority?
The temple priest said nothing and just watched the farce silently.
When the fifth prince knew that the general was responsible for guarding the sacrificial ceremony, he knew that he would definitely lose. After all, the little force he had compared to the general was like throwing an egg against a stone.
But as long as he kills the Sixth Prince before losing, he will win.
What a pity - the fifth prince stared at the sixth prince bitterly, and then turned his attention to the general.
"The general is really good at predicting events. I'm afraid you have planned all this."
Si Jin sneered sarcastically: "If you want to blame me, it's your lack of brains. You were stupid enough to do it during the sacrificial ceremony."
"Ah."
The fifth prince suddenly laughed, "I have no brain?"
"I am indeed brainless, but I am not that stupid." He said, turning his eyes to the compassionate and indifferent temple priest on the high platform.
Aware of his gaze, the temple priest’s eyes fell on him.
“The high-ranking temple priests are nothing more than that!”
The fifth prince laughed wickedly and wildly, "You are the only one who would choose this good-for-nothing Xi Yan!"
Waste Xi Yan: "."
No, no, no, really, someone has been remembering this for several years?
Si Jin frowned, broke free from the king's tight hold on his arm, and walked out.
“You can’t say this.”
The way he looked at the fifth prince was already looking at a dead man.
The fifth prince suddenly calmed down and even laughed strangely.
“Get started.”
He spoke abruptly.
No one present reacted to this inexplicable sentence, but Si Jin suddenly looked towards the location of the temple priest.
There were also guards under the altar. At this time, one of the guards suddenly picked up a long sword and attacked the temple priest.
The general's pupils trembled. As he rushed over, he suddenly met the gaze of the temple priest.
In an instant, he didn't have time to think, he stretched out his hand and grasped the sharp sword tightly, and then used all his strength to kick the guard down.
His kick was merciless. The guard's internal organs were shaken, and he spit out a mouthful of blood and rolled down the steps.
The general was still holding the long sword, even though blood was dripping from his palm, dripping uncontrollably to the ground.
“You should get bandaged.”
"you saw it?"
They both spoke at the same time.
The priest of the temple paused, but the general said to himself: "You know I will save you, do I still have to thank you for your trust?"
ˆ “.”
The temple priest pursed his lower lip and just said, "You should stop."
She was just telling him with facts that he would encounter misfortune if he got close to her. This was something she had already determined, and she could never keep people around her.
"I can't change your mind, and you can't interfere with my choice."
The general said these words calmly, and then threw the **** sword aside. Even though the scar on his palm had sunk deep into his flesh, he still walked down the steps without changing his expression.
Looking at the frustrated fifth prince, his voice was filled with boundless murderous intent: "Take him away."
As soon as the general said these words, everyone present came to their senses in a daze.
They simply cannot imagine that the real goal of these five princes is to assassinate the temple priest? !
This is a more unforgivable crime than shaking the royal power! !
A group of ministers knelt down in fear. Even the king did not dare to cower in the corner anymore. He ran out and asked earnestly: "If the priest is frightened, I will definitely not let the fifth child be spared!"
The attention of the temple priests fell on him.
The king's body trembled, and he could clearly feel that what fell on him was the Eye of Insight.
After a moment, the temple priest withdrew her gaze, and she walked down the steps calmly: "It's time for the king to establish a prince."
After saying these words, she left under the **** of several priests who rushed to greet her in shock and anger.
King: "."
When he thought about his sons who were fiercely vying for power, he felt powerless when he glanced at the princes who were still alive, and felt a little relieved when he touched Xi Yan.
Among the group of sons, Lao Jiu was the one who followed him, which reassured him the most.
What happened during the sacrificial ceremony, everyone present had a tacit agreement not to publicize it to the outside world.
But as the general executed the five princes, the unrecognizable five princes were hung on the city wall of the capital for public display.
The fifth prince was in such a miserable state that his psychological quality was a little poor. He couldn't bear it on the spot and vomited non-stop. Several princes who were still alive also went to watch, their faces turned pale, and they had a psychological shadow from then on.
Amidst the murmurs of the people, all the princes and ministers calmed down.
In the first restaurant in the capital.
The intelligence collected by Xi Yannian's men was all about the general's move, as well as the princes and ministers who had settled down because of it.
He gave Si Jin a thumbs up.
“It’s better if you do it cleanly and neatly, now it’s better. Those people will have to keep their tail between their legs for a long time.”
Si Jin frowned and his tone was full of impatience: "A fool like that dares to plot against her."
ˆ “.”
Xi Yan coughed lightly, thinking that the general was really becoming more and more unscrupulous and undisguised.
His eyes flashed and he asked with interest: "Have you reconciled with the temple priest?"
".No."
Si Jin’s tone turned annoyed.
He glanced at the table. There was no wine, and his eyebrows suddenly tightened.
Xi Yan saw all his actions and twitched the corner of his mouth: "Stop looking for wine. If you continue to be so annoying, you will drink up all my collection of spirits."
Changing the subject, he added: "My father sent me to see the temple priest. Is there anything you want me to bring?"
"you go?"
Si Jin’s critical and dissatisfied eyes fell on him.
Xi Yan was even more speechless: "For what happened at the altar, and to apologize to the temple priest, my father took out a lot of good things from the treasury. If you have anything you want to give to her, I will give it to you." Take it with you."
Listening to Xi Yan's words, Si Jin really started thinking about it seriously.
Finally, he came to a conclusion: "None of the thousands of treasures in the world can compare with her."
