Chapter 483 Past Life 21
On the second day, the activities of the Lantern Festival continued, and the night in the capital was still brightly lit, like a fiery tree and silver flowers.

The general couldn't hold back anymore, following the darkness, he climbed over the high wall of the temple very skillfully, and climbed up the lush tree in the courtyard of the priest of the temple.

Tonight, the priest of the temple did not read in the main hall, but held a long sword in the courtyard of the side hall, repeating the movements of practicing the sword without feeling boring at all.

Those who watched her every move didn't feel bored, but watched her sword holding gesture with great interest, and couldn't get enough of it.

After another set of sword moves was over, the priest of the temple withdrew her sword smoothly and naturally. She suddenly raised her head and looked straight at the general who was covered by the dense leaves.

"Sijin."

The general seemed to be stimulated by her voice, jumped down from the tree excitedly, and came to her in twos and twos: "Did you call my name just now?"

Not the alienated and indifferent 'General', but 'Si Jin'.

Although the tone has not changed, it is already a big improvement compared to the general.

The general's depression and annoyance caused by her neglect some time ago disappeared in an instant. If he had a tail, he might have been waving happily at the priest of the temple by this time.

The general asked her, "Did you see the bright light last night?"

". see."

After hesitating for a moment, the priest of the temple responded with a normal expression, and then the joy on the general's face became more and more undisguised.

"There's nothing unusual about that thing." The general said, "but as long as you haven't seen it, I will try to find a way."

Small things that are commonplace and insignificant in the eyes of the world may be very novel in the eyes of the priests of the temple.

The temple priest's eyes moved slightly, but she turned around holding on to the sword, as if thinking of something, she turned her head slightly and said, "General, your belonging is on the grassland."

Si Jin frowned slightly: "Are you implying me? But those nomads in the frontier were frightened by me before, and they won't do it again in a short time."

Even though he has been back for more than half a year, most of the soldiers and horses are still stationed on the frontier where the country was lost. Coupled with his previous deterrence, he does not believe that those tribal peoples will counterattack so quickly.

The temple priest just smiled, then turned and walked into the house.

This time, Si Jin was not angry or sad because of her departure, he stood in the courtyard of the side hall, his eyes were thoughtful and his eyes were deep.

A gust of wind hit, and the big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves made a rustling sound when it was blown by the wind, shaking off the leaves on its body.

Si Jin looked up at the gust of wind, then turned and left.

The general went directly to the restaurant to look for Xi Yan the next day, but Xi Yan was not here today.

In the past, he used to have fun in these Goulan restaurants to consolidate his status as a "free and unfettered waste", but today, he is not here.

The steward of the restaurant is Xi Yan's confidant and also the person in charge of collecting information. He carefully led Si Jin into the box, and then lowered his head solemnly: "General, Your Highness has entered the palace early in the morning. Did not return."

The general paused slightly with his fingers pinching the wine cup. He put down the glass of wine without changing his face, and his sharp eyes fell on the steward: "Who else is there besides him?"

"There are also the third prince, the sixth prince, and some ministers from the prefectures."

"Minister of the prefecture." Si Jin muttered these words, "What happened in the prefecture?"

"." There was a trace of hesitation in the steward's eyes, and he lowered his voice, "I heard that there is a rebellion."

The steward looked up at the general cautiously, then quickly lowered his head again: "Besides, those prefectures are all very close to the frontier."

Si Jin's eyes tightened: ".Go down."

"Yes."

The steward left quickly.

The general sat alone in the room, thinking about what he said just now, and involuntarily connected this incident with the hint from the temple priest.

He had never doubted her ability, so when he heard her words, he subconsciously thought of the stability of the frontier.

Who ever thought that the problem is not outside, but inside.

Although Xi's royal family has ruled for more than 300 years, the system is gradually showing signs of decay and rigidity, but there are temples, and the loss of the country has been peaceful for these years, and no major events have occurred.

——What if the temple collapses?
Si Jin suddenly stopped the divergence of thinking.

He didn't want to continue thinking about it. If the temple collapsed, what about the priests of the temple?With her character, she will surely fall with the temple.

'boom! '

After drinking a glass of strong wine suddenly, Si Jin placed the glass of wine on the table violently, making a crisp sound.

His eyes were dim, with a faint glint of cruelty flowing, deeply gloomy.

When Xi Yan opened the door of the wing room, he saw that he exuded an unfriendly aura all over his body, and his whole body was like a murderous god standing in a sea of ​​corpses, vicious and vicious.

He tried his best to think about who provoked him again, and it took him a long time to come up with a possibility: "...you hit a wall with the priest of the temple again?"

Si Jin came back to his senses, and gave him an annoyed look.

"You went to the palace?"

Xi Yan was not surprised that he would know about this, the steward of the restaurant had already told him when he came up.

"Yes." Xi Yan nodded and walked over to sit down opposite Si Jin, and poured himself a glass of wine, "A minister of the prefecture escaped."

"escape."

Hearing this word, Si Jin sneered coldly.

"...He not only escaped, but also urged the ministers of several neighboring prefectures to come to the capital together, saying that there was going to be a rebellion in the prefectures."

Si Jin looked over immediately, frowning: "Is this really true?"

Xi Yan didn't answer right away, he sighed, and then spoke under Si Jin's increasingly dangerous gaze: "It's probably close to ten. I guess."

His eyes fell on the street scene outside the window.

The capital of the country has always been the most affluent city in the lost country, so the streets have always been a scene of living and working in peace, harmony and tranquility.But in the frontier states far away from the capital, it is in dire straits, and the people are miserable.

"You should know better than me about the situation in those border states."

Hearing this, Si Jin was silent for a few seconds, and then replied: "Yes."

"It's too far away from the capital to get attention, and because it's been at the center of wars all year round, many people are forced to run away, and those who stay behind are old, weak, sick and disabled."

The spoils they won from previous battles, the food and cloth, were also divided among the soldiers under Si Jin's hands.

"And because there are many mountains, forests and cliffs, it has become a place where many bandits hide and cause trouble."

Si Jin rubbed his brows, the local prefectural ministers didn't do anything - even if they wanted to, they didn't have the strength, and he led soldiers to fight in the frontier all the year round, so how could he always pay attention to the situation in the rear.
