Chapter 9

Huicheng returned to Jingxin Hall and originally wanted to pack his luggage.

As I approached, I saw several guards in royal robes standing at the door.

Could it be that the news about Eunuch Run spread faster than he could walk?

Huicheng secretly admired that he was worthy of being a Jin Yiwei, and walked up to say hello.

Those people didn't seem to recognize him.

"No other people are allowed to enter." Not only did they ignore Huicheng, they also blocked him from the door.

"?"

Didn't he come to pick him up?
Huicheng explained: "What this gentleman doesn't know is that the poor monk actually lives here."

The Jinyi guards glanced at each other, and one of them turned around and shouted: "Gu Xiaoba, come out."

Not long after, I saw a young man wandering out lazily: "What?"

Gu Xiaoba had an impatient look on his face: "It's gambling money."

Huicheng was very happy to see an acquaintance and said hurriedly: "Amitabha."

Gu Xiaoba turned around and wanted to go back.

Huicheng learned the lesson and quickly took out the ingots of silver from his purse.

Recently, Xie Qingyun rewarded him a lot, but since he was a monk and couldn't spend much money, they all left.

Therefore, the action was extremely generous.

Gu Xiaoba didn't have eyes behind him, but with his keen sense of smell for silver, he immediately turned around with a smile.

"It's you, the eminent monk." Gu Xiaoba smiled apologetically, took the ingot of silver in his hands, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it.

It's his favorite flavor.

Gu Xiaoba hurriedly put the money into his arms and scolded the gatekeepers with a straight face: "Let the eminent monk in quickly."

Those people seemed to have been used to this scene for a long time, so they turned sideways without saying anything.

Huicheng followed Gu Xiaoba, still confused: "Excuse me..."

Gu Xiaoba didn't turn his head, and changed his face in an instant: "Don't ask, answering questions is a different price."

Huicheng had no choice but to shut up.

Arriving at the usual residence of Huicheng and Tianseng, Gu Xiaoba knocked on the door.

"Sir, the eminent monk Huicheng is back."

A voice soon came from inside: "Come in."

Gu Xiaoba pushed the door open and saw Yunyang and Tianseng playing chess in the room.

Huicheng didn't react until he saw the people in the room. No wonder he was stopped by the Jin Yiwei just now. They were not here to find him.

Huicheng sighed from the bottom of his heart, and didn't care too much.

The Heavenly Monk will return to the White Horse Temple soon, and he will also move out. Now that things have happened, what else is there to grudge against?

They have to take different paths after all.

A person as noble as a monk is not suitable to be with this dirty world.

Huicheng leaned over to Yunyang and said "Amitabha".

Yunyang glanced at him and half-smiled: "I heard that eminent monks are very favored recently."

Gu Xiaoba answered: "Yes, the Buddhist scriptures presented by the eminent monk today won the emperor's heart, and now he has been named a national teacher. See you later, we all have to salute to others."

Their Jinyiwei are well-informed, know everything in the entire capital, and have the best intelligence network in Daqi.Even the eunuchs in the palace dare not say that their ability to obtain information is better than that of the Jin Yiwei.

Today's situation was exposed directly. Huicheng was a little embarrassed and lowered his head, not looking at Tianseng's expression.

No one paid any attention to him.

Yunyang lowered his head and looked back at the chessboard, shouting: "What's going on? Why did you lose in just one reply?"

Gu Xiaoba was curious and moved over to take a look.

Seeing the chessboard, I laughed out loud.

"Sir, your chess skills are too bad."

He faced the chessboard where he had definitely lost and analyzed it carefully: "That piece just now should have landed here."

Yunyang followed the probe with a curious look on his face: "Can we win if we fall here?"

Gu Xiaoba smiled and said, "No, I can only make your loss look better." Yunyang rolled his eyes.

The two of them were noisy, and Huicheng, who was ignored on the other side, had already packed his luggage.

Carrying his baggage, he faced the Heavenly Monk and bowed deeply: "I'm leaving."

Tianseng looked at him with gentle eyes: "Okay."

"take care."

Hearing this, Huicheng felt like crying.

He knew that the Heavenly Monk knew what he had done today.

But I still chose to forgive myself.

Like he forgives everyone.

Huicheng couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of what he had done in the past few days.

"Okay." He replied.

Then he turned around and strode out of the door.

In the room, Gu Xiaoba realized that the atmosphere was wrong and stopped laughing.

Yunyang frowned and watched Huicheng leave before asking: "The Buddhist scriptures he presented to Your Majesty today actually belong to you, the Heavenly Monk, right?"

As a member of the Imperial Guard, Yunyang still has the ability to recognize people.

He knew clearly the abilities of the two monks.

However, the Heavenly Monk did not answer him directly: "The thought itself existed, but it was conveyed by people and written by human hands."

Yunyang smiled and said with relief: "What the Heavenly Monk said is that I am too narrow-minded."

Gu Xiaoba couldn't understand the meaning of their words, and was still busy studying the chess game, but no matter how he studied, he couldn't stop sighing.

"We can't win..." He scratched his head, looking confused.

Why did this monk's chess piece actually seem to have a mind? No matter how hard he struggled, he was eventually blocked and unable to move.

Yunyang hit him on the head: "Have you finished reading this? Get out if you can't win for your lord."

Gu Xiaoba rubbed the place where he was beaten, feeling a little dissatisfied, and left with a groan.

Only two people, Tianseng and him, were left in the room.

Yunyang returned the remaining chess pieces in his hand to the chess box one by one: "I am not as good at playing as others, which makes the eminent monk laugh."

The monk said, "It's just for fun."

Yunyang nodded and pondered for a moment: "Actually, I came here today because I want to ask the Heavenly Monk about something."

He said: "This matter has not yet reached His Majesty's ears, but the memorial has only been delivered in the past few days."

"The border is in chaos."

Yunyang said: "The Mongolian cavalry came in with overwhelming force. However, our cavalry is not as good as the Mongolians in horse quality and does not have an advantage in numbers. Although the infantry is strong, it is good at defending but not attacking. Therefore, it has been retreating steadily since the beginning of the war. ."

As Yunyang spoke, he smiled bitterly: "I am also desperate, so I have no choice but to come to bother Tianseng and ask for your opinion."

"Soldiers are more valuable than soldiers, generals are more valuable than strategy."

The Heavenly Monk said, "What are you worried about, sir?"

Yunyang sighed: "As expected of an eminent monk, you can tell what I want to say at a glance."

"In fact, in terms of military strength, our Daqi territory is vast and rich. After gathering a large army, we may not lose to the Mongols in terms of numbers. But now there are only defenders at the border and no attacking generals. Since the border is broken, I am afraid that I will be unable to recover."

"I want to know, if there is no strong general, there may be a way to solve this matter?"

The monk shook his head: "If there is no general, there will be no solution."

Yunyang was silent.

If even the Heavenly Monk said this...

"Are we just going to have to watch the people at the border being displaced and living in dire straits?" Yunyang asked.

"Do not."

The heavenly monk said: "There is no solution without generals."

Yunyang was confused: "You mean... you have a general?"
