MTL - The Strong Beauty is a Goddess in Showbiz

These people have always been in the capital and are deeply protected, so how can they know about the hardship and suffering on the border?

　　"What if the general cannot do it? Will my father's position be secure?"

Xi Yan's eyes showed disgust and he no longer bothered to hide it.

The king was startled by his sudden sharpness.

“Da, be bold!” He reprimanded sternly, “Xi Yan, I am so indulgent of you, how dare you say such a thing!”

 “How dare you not?”

Xi Yan laughed sarcastically, "The third child and the sixth child are about to fight for the outcome. I think the third child has a good chance of winning. How will you abdicate the throne, father?"

Being so frightened by Xi Yan, the king no longer wanted to care about the war outside, so he drove Xi Yan out in panic and guilt.

Xi Yan shrugged his shoulders and left unconcernedly under the awed and shocked gazes of the palace maids and attendants.

Not long after he left, the king became so angry that he fell ill again. This time, he never got off the couch.

Since the king did not act, Xi Yan had no choice but to use his own power to transport the supplies as best he could.

But without exception, there was no news of these supplies after they arrived at the city. This made Xi Yan more and more certain that the rebels must have fought back, but for some reason, they never made any move, nor did they capture the city like before. .

The lost country has entered winter, and heavy snow fell from the sky, falling on the eaves of the temple, gathering a layer of snow.

 It has been more than half a year since the general set off for the expedition.

Since there was no definite news about the border, Xi Yan could only hold back his anxious mood, and because he could truly calm down with the temple priest, he ran to the temple more often.

 This time the temple priests did not receive him.

The tallow priest said to him apologetically: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, the priest is doing some repairs, and I don't want anyone to disturb me."

Xi Yan looked surprised: "So sudden?"

However, the priest of the temple often cleans up, so there is no surprised look on his face. He nodded and asked: "Then did she say when it will end?"

"I told you." Black tallow tree nodded, "The priest said that we will wait until the spring of next year."

“Four months is so long.”

Xi Yan was stunned because of this date.

Saw tallow was also a little helpless and puzzled: "Maybe the priest realized something, so it took longer than before."

".I see."

What else can the temple priests realize? With just her pair of insightful eyes, everything in the world is invisible to her.

 With uneasiness, Xi Yan left the temple.

This year's winter passed extremely quickly. Before Xi Yan could react, another year's Lantern Festival feast had arrived.

Si Jin has been away for almost a year, and he has not seen the temple priest for more than two months. Xi Yan originally thought it would be boring, but time passed quickly.

In the competition between the third prince and the sixth prince, as Xi Yan had expected, the third prince won.

The Third Prince's group finally beheaded the Sixth Prince in public, not only to frighten the courtiers, but also to warn Xi Yan. After all, among the princes still alive, he and the victorious Third Prince were the only ones left.

Xi Yan knew that the third prince was sensitive and suspicious, and it didn’t take long for him to turn his target.

 It's just that something unexpected happened.

After half a year, news came again from the border. On the day of the Lantern Festival, the general became the leader of the rebels and was on his way back to the capital with his troops.

Xi Yan could hardly believe his ears.

 Si Jin became the leader of the rebels? How can this be? !

But looking at the quarrel in the court and the red-faced ministers, Xi Yan had to believe it. The face of the third prince, who had just become the victor and had not had time to force the old king to abdicate, was even more gloomy.

 “How could the general rebel?!”

 “This can be false! Several cities have already been captured by the general!”

 “But he still conquered the large nomadic tribes on the border!”

 “Even so, this is not the reason for his rebellion!”

"Is it possible that the general has already been in contact with the rebels, and this expedition is just for internal cooperation and external cooperation?!"

ˆ “.”

 A new round of quarrels broke out in the court because of this speculation.

Xi Yan couldn't stand hearing it anymore and left before they started arguing. He quickly returned to his prince's palace, summoned the available troops under his command, and asked them to see the general at all costs.

The news that the general led the rebels to attack the capital was not concealed from the people of the capital for long, but within a few days, there were more and more rumors in the capital.

The people couldn't believe it, and at the same time they couldn't help but hide in fear. Not only them, but also some ministers and priests who got the news were also seizing the time to move themselves away.

The country is the most prosperous and lively center of the lost country, but now they are facing a general who holds troops and horses to intimidate the world.

Under the sword of the general, no one has the confidence to swear that they can defend the capital.

Xi Yan did not pay attention to the actions of the outside world. He still sent people to find out the news about the general. However, he could only get the news about which city the general had captured. His people could not even get the news about the general himself. See above.

At the same time, he suddenly discovered that the streets of the capital were a lot deserted. The princes and ministers who could run away immediately had already run away. Even the priests in the temple also ran away secretly because the priests of the temple were still doing repairs. .

 The king wanted to run but couldn't.

 After the third prince forced him to abdicate, he abandoned him in the palace and left with his troops.

 He believes that as long as the green hills remain, there is no need to worry about running out of firewood!

The rebels are getting closer and closer, until they reach the outside of the capital city, and all those who can escape in the city have escaped.

Xi Yan has been staying quietly in his prince's mansion, and has not stopped the people in the mansion from escaping. All the young people have run away, and only some old, weak, sick and disabled people who cannot run away are still with him.

 He gave up after realizing that he could not see Si Jin, and instead asked the temple priest whether the purification was over.

Now the temple is also empty. Except for those old priests who are dedicated to spiritual practice and insist on dying in the temple, everyone else has run away.

 The day before the rebels came to the capital, Xi Yan arrived outside the priest's temple for the last time.

 “She hasn’t come out yet?”

The tallow priest sighed: "Perhaps, the priest has anticipated this scene and cannot bear to witness it."

"What about you?" Xi Yan asked, "This group of rebels also want to overthrow the temple and establish a new regime."

The tallow priest smiled with relief and calmness in his eyes: "Death in the temple is the destination of every priest."

ˆ “.”

Xi Yan pursed his lips and said nothing. He could tell that there was not much time left for the tallow priest, and his movements and thinking were obviously slowed down.
