"Then you should help me find the spiritual stones and spiritual weapons as soon as possible." With these two things in hand, she doesn't have to take any of the emperor's laws seriously.
Ouyang Xun understood what she meant, and comforted him with his always gentle voice: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you find these two things. The top priority is to find the person who stole the spirit stone first. Let's see what the other party is trying to do.
What to do?”
Qin Shuiyue said in a not very good tone: "I have already told you to arrest them directly for questioning. In the worst case, if you catch them by mistake, they will be released." Then he wrapped his arms around the other party and said with a wronged expression:
"Ah Xun, what are you worried about?"
Ouyang Xun stroked the other person's eyebrows with his slender white fingers, and smiled evilly: "I just don't want anything to happen to you. If something happens to you, who will help me?"
Qin Shuiyue snorted disdainfully: "With you protecting me, who can do anything to me?"
Ouyang Xun's eyes flashed with a cold light that was inconsistent with his gentle temperament, and then he continued to smile: "Those who achieve great things must first learn to be patient. It is said that a hundred patience turns into gold..."
Before he finished speaking, someone hurriedly came to report: "Lord of the city, the priest, something is not right."
"What happened?" Ouyang Xun asked calmly.
The man was one of the guards responsible for guarding the temple. He secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and reported in a panic: "A lot of people gathered outside the temple. It is said that many people in the city fell ill overnight.
He fell down, and his illness was very serious. Even the doctor couldn’t find out the cause. The common people were spreading the word..."
Seeing that he was hesitant in speaking and couldn't finish his sentence for a long time, Qin Shuiyue interrupted impatiently: "What are those stupid people spreading?"
The man gritted his teeth, raised his head, and said with a risk-taking attitude: "People outside are spreading rumors that the high priest was dishonest when performing sacrifices, which caused the gods to become angry, so disasters were sent down from the sky as punishment.
Said, and also said...this natural disaster was all caused by the high priest. They asked the high priest to hand over the spiritual stone immediately, go to the altar to confess his sins, and pray for the gods' forgiveness."
"What did you say?" Qin Shuiyue immediately opened her eyes wide and shouted angrily: "Are these people rebelling? They actually want me to hand over the spirit stone and ask me to confess to the gods? Do they know?
who I am?"
The man endured the pressure and continued in a low voice: "They said that if the high priest can't give everyone a satisfactory answer to this matter, they... they will destroy the temple and take the priest personally.
"
Qin Shuiyue's eyes were red and she said in a hoarse voice: "Crazy, crazy, these people are all crazy."
Ouyang Xun, who was next to her, just darkened his face slightly, held down the furious Qin Shuiyue and said: "Ayue, have you forgotten what I just said? No matter what happens now, you must stay calm, no.
Able to disrupt one's own position."
"They are going to take me to the temple, how can they keep me calm? First they stole the spiritual stones, and now they incite the people and spread these false rumors. What do they want to do? Could it be?
Do you want to replace me as the high priest?" Qin Shuiyue was completely in a state of rage. She had been worshiped and worshiped as a god all these years. Suddenly one day, everyone went against the norm and regarded her as a disaster for the people.
The demons of the people. Such a sudden change, I am afraid that no one would be able to accept it for a while.
