After dinner that day, Mo Wen and Gui Ning were sitting in the Buddhist hall playing chess. When Gui Ning heard Mo Wen say that another spy for Zhu Ri was caught in the temple today, his hands began to tremble again.
The black piece fell onto the chessboard with a "pop".
Mo Wen, who was originally looking at the chessboard, looked up at Gui Ning.
Gui Ning forced a smile, and said with a twisted smile: "Jing Mo also sent spies?"
Mo Wen looked down at the chessboard again and said, "He will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal. That's Jing Mo."
Gui Ning asked tentatively, "Did the host examine the spy?"
Mo Wen dropped a white piece onto the chessboard and said, "The spy committed suicide by taking poison."
Gui Ning breathed a sigh of relief. At least Jing Mo's subordinate didn't have to suffer and didn't have to be poisoned. Just as he was about to look at the chess game on the board, Gui Ning suddenly remembered what Fu Boyuan said. There was one person missing from the people Jing Mo sent. Did this person go to deliver a message for Gu Xinglang, or was he the one who committed suicide by taking poison today? Gui Ning's heart tightened again. What if Mo Wen didn't send the message that Chen Bingyan was going to return to the city?
"Your Majesty," Mo Wen tapped the chessboard with his fingers, urging Gui Ning to make his move.
Guining randomly placed the black piece in his hand on the chessboard.
Mo Wen glanced at the place where Gui Ning had placed his chess piece and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, are you not in the mood to play chess?"
Guining..., who the hell is in the mood to play chess with you?
Mo Wen asked, "Your Majesty, who do you think will win this battle?"
Gui Ning said: "Naturally the host master will win."
"What's the reason?" Mo Wen asked again.
Gui Ning said: "I don't know how to fight, but how could Jing Mo and his men be a match for the host master? It's just like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."
Mo Wen placed a piece down and said, "Your Majesty has lost this game of chess."
Gui Ning swore that after this damn war, if anyone let him play chess again, he would kill the entire clan of that bastard!
Mo Wen pushed the chess piece on the board and said, "I will play another game with Your Majesty."
Returning home...
Mo Wen collected the chess pieces calmly.
Gui Ning said: "Master Host, has Gu Xinglang left the Gui Evil Forest?"
"No," Mo asked.
"No?" Gui Ning asked anxiously, "So he has been in the Gui Evil Forest all this time?"
"It is not necessary to use him now," Mo Wen pushed the collected black pieces in front of Gui Ning.
"What exactly is the use of Gu Xinglang?" Gui Ning asked.
Mo Wen gently placed a black piece in the middle of the chessboard and said, "Your Majesty, please."
Gui Ning wanted to flip the chessboard in front of him, turned his head to look out the window at the snowy night, and suddenly he wondered, why hasn't Yu Linglong come to the Eternal Life Temple yet? After accompanying Jing Mo in the wedding scene, what else can this person do?
Yu Xiaoxiao was standing in the snow, brushing off the snow on her head and sneezing. There was a long line of people walking on the mountain path outside the forest, with torches extending from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain. Was this the army led by Mo Wen? Yu Xiaoxiao thought.
Fu Boyuan was walking on a mountain road. The road was frozen and covered with thick ice. Even for General Fu, it was difficult to walk on this mountain road and his feet kept slipping.
Yu Xiaoxiao stood on the top of a tree and saw Fu Boyuan from afar. She looked to the side and saw two bald monks following Fu Boyuan.
"You go out without a hat in this weather? Aren't you afraid of getting frostbite on your bare head?" Yu Xiaoxiao said to herself. (At this time, why are you still worrying about frostbite? -_-|||)
Fu Boyuan stepped on a piece of ice that protruded from the road and slipped again. Two of his personal soldiers hurriedly reached out to help their general.
Fu Boyuan stood firm and said to the two soldiers, "I'm fine."
As soon as the two guards let go of their hands, another soldier reached out and held Fu Boyuan's arm, saying in a muffled voice: "General, you must be careful."
Fu Boyuan looked at the soldier. He had covered his head and face with a thick scarf, with only half of his big eyes exposed. Fu Boyuan didn't remember there was such a person among his personal soldiers.
The little soldier pulled his scarf, showed his face to Fu Boyuan, stuck out his tongue, and quickly put the scarf back on.
Fu Boyuan's body stiffened immediately after seeing the man's appearance. How could the princess appear here? Also, look at the ill-fitting military uniform on Yu Xiaoxiao. Where did this man get it from?
In a large tree hole deep in the forest, a little Xuanwu soldier, stripped of his military uniform and covered with a thick quilt, was completely unconscious.
"Is it so cold?" Fu Boyuan said as he walked forward with Yu Xiaoxiao.
Yu Xiao: "Why are there so many monks around you?"
Fu Boyuan said: "This is the Eternal Life Temple." Aren't monks the most common people in the Eternal Life Temple?
Yu Xiao: "Have you seen my little Gu?"
"The prince consort has gone to the Gui'e Forest," Fu Boyuan told Yu Xiao about Gu Xinglang and what happened in the Eternal Life Temple in the most concise and clear manner possible.
"Why did Xiao Gu go into the woods and never come out?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked.
Fu Boyuan said: "I don't know."
"So what do you know?"
"Princess, I've told you everything I know."
"But you don't know about my little Gu."
Fu Boyuan..., are you trying to force him to death?
"Yan is back in the city," Yu Xiaoxiao muttered again, "Has the message been sent out?"
"It should be sent out," said General Fu.
"What do you mean by should?" Yu Xiao: "In intelligence work, yes is yes and no is no. How can we talk about should?"
Fu Boyuan said: "Princess, I don't understand what you are saying."
"Damn it," Yu Xiaoxiao cursed.
General Fu was silent.
"So are you about to set off for Yanhui City?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked again.
"We are not going to Yanhui City," Fu Boyuan said, "but to the plains around Yanhui City."
"Well," Yu Xiaoxiao leaned her head on Fu Boyuan's shoulder and said, "Should we continue with our plan as usual?"
Fu Boyuan said: "Princess, my Majesty said that it is better to die in glory than live in disgrace."
"Well," Yu Xiao: "I understand what you mean. Gui Ning is going to fight to the death."
Fu Boyuan glanced at the monks from the Eternal Life Temple who were walking on his left and right, quietly patted Yu Xiaoxiao's hand, and said, "Princess, when the war starts, you have to take my Majesty out of the Eternal Life Temple."
"Don't worry," Yu Xiaoxiao made an OK gesture to Fu Boyuan and said, "I will definitely take Gui Ning with me to kill Mo Wen."
Fu Boyuan... Why is it so hard to talk to this guy? He meant to take his Majesty out of the Eternal Life Temple, not to take him with him to kill Mo Wen!
"I'm going to the Eternal Life Temple." Yu Xiaoxiao loosened Fu Boyuan's arm and said, "I wish us all the best."
Fu Boyuan pulled Yu Xiaoxiao's hand and whispered, "Princess, you'd better go and confirm the news that Yan is back in the city. I'm not sure if the news has been spread."
"Okay," Yu Xiaoxiao promised Fu Boyuan, "I've visited my little Gu, and I'll go find my dad and Jing Mo and the others."
Fu Boyuan..., why does he think it is more important to pass on the message?
