It was dark at night.

After the all-night noise of the previous few days, the Baoxiang Kingdom fell into silence again as the king ordered the encirclement and suppression of Wanzi Mountain.

But at this moment.

In the procession of the King of the Treasure Elephant, when returning to the direction of the royal palace.

The first team rushed to the city of King Elephant.

According to the arrangement of the King of Treasure Elephant, he began to arrange it.

Less than a quarter of an hour.

In the entire royal city, most of the lights have been extinguished, but at this moment, it is almost bright!

Every street, every tall building, every bridge, is lit by fire.

Especially in the entire palace, almost all the palace maids and dancing girls were called out and lined up from the entrance of the royal city to the entrance of the palace.

There were midnight watchmen, shouting along the streets, and the people who had fallen asleep were also called.

The noise was so loud that people along the street had to get out of bed, light candles, and look what was going on outside.

The moment I saw it, I was surprised.

Where is this still the night of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom, it is as clear as the day.

Soon.

Gong and drum teams, dance teams, took to the streets.

Even the elephants raised in the palace were dragged out into the streets at this time and put on a show.

All gathered at the entrance of the Imperial City and writhed.

...... In a flash.

The people of the kingdom of Treasure Elephant were all frightened.

Think it's a dream?

It's not a big festival, why are you so happy?

One by one, they are full of puzzlement.

Until an hour later.

From outside the city gates, a huge procession entered.

On the back of an elephant, on a huge seat, sat the king.

But next to the king, there was a man who sat ......

Seeing this person, the people were extremely puzzled.

Bald headed, wearing a golden robe, what kind of person is this?

Can you be on an equal footing with the emperor?

It's puzzling.

However, it should be a master.

Otherwise, he would not have been treated so generously by the king.

Under the watchful eyes of the people, the procession marched into the palace.

After coming to the palace.

The grand feast began.

All the ministers gathered together.

Singers and maiko perform in the main hall.

The food and wine were moved to the feast.

Pushing the cups one by one, they bragged about the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in front of Xuanzang, expressing their views on the Tang Dynasty.

Albeit......

Xuanzang actually saw it a long time ago.

These ministers, one by one, were more and more puzzled.

The eyes seem to express a question:

"Although it is a high-ranking monk from the Tang Dynasty, is it necessary to prepare such a grand welcome ceremony? It is even grander than the new king's accession to the throne!"

...... Although one by one there are doubts about this.

But after all, it was the king's order, so he didn't dare to express it, but continued to flatter.

After pushing the cup and changing the lamp.

Calm down, sit in the hall and talk.

Next to Xuanzang, the yellow-robed monster was sitting.

And the princess of Baihua is sitting next to King Baoxiang.

"Mage, dare to ask why you took this yellow-robed monster as an apprentice? After all, this monster has occupied my princess for thirteen years, what punishment should you do next?"

King Baoxiang was slightly drunk and said lightly.

"Well...... this"

Xuanzang smiled and put down his wine glass.

Slowly, the story began.

I told all the things I had said to the yellow-robed monster in the Boyue Cave to King Baoxiang.

Of course, the tone and approach were changed, and the branches were added.

said that as a senior monk of the Tang Dynasty, he was entrusted by his brother Li Shimin to learn scriptures from the west and popularize Buddhism, and he had the obligation to universalize all sentient beings and persuade people to change evil and follow good.

And I have long heard that there is a wave of moon caves in Wanzi Mountain, and there are monsters in it.

So, before the King of Treasure Elephant surrounded this place, he had already sneaked in.

It coincided with the siege of King Baoxiang.

And in the cave, Xuanzang also painstakingly persuaded the king of the yellow robe to change evil from good and abandon demons as Buddhas.

The yellow-robed king naturally agreed.

I also worship myself as a teacher.

...... Speaking of which.

The ministers around put on an expression of 'I believe you are a ghost'.

Xuanzang also rejoiced in his heart.

Truly.

I don't believe this statement.

But!

None of these ministers, including the King of the Treasure Elephant, dared to stand up and refute it!

Because, I am a Tang monk!

It's Li Shimin's royal brother!

The vastness of Buddhism is something that people in these small countries have never seen.

So.

If they question themselves, they will question the entire Tang Dynasty.

"King of the Yellow Robe, is this true?"

King Baoxiang interrupted Xuanzang's words and asked the yellow-robed monster.

The yellow-robed monster was sluggish.

He didn't react for a moment, and only nodded after a pause.

This was actually discussed with Xuanzang before he set out.

Of course, the flowers on the side didn't know about it.

Until this moment, Baihua is still ignorant.

"This demon has done a lot of evil, and has occupied the princess for many years, and I really feel guilty, after listening to Xuanzang's remarks, I woke up, reformed myself, and converted to Buddhism from then on, and relieved sentient beings......"

The yellow-robed monster spoke diligently and seriously.

It's like the real thing!

This Kui Timber wolf's acting skills are okay.

"This ......"

The Elephant King hesitated, but at the same time clenched his fists, expressing a hint of hatred.

Originally, this yellow-robed monster had occupied his daughter for thirteen years, and it was not an exaggeration to break the corpse into ten thousand pieces.

But now, it is unbelievable that he has entered the Buddha gate.

In front of Xuanzang, how can this be handled?

"Your Majesty, this mage has a proposal for this yellow-robed monster to make amends for the sins of the past thirteen years. ”

"Oh, quickly?"

"That's it...... Let this yellow-robed monster stay in your Treasure Elephant Kingdom......"

"Be a protector general, lead your soldiers of the Treasure Elephant Country, defend the territory, and block the enemy. ”

"Ah......h

As soon as these words came out!

In the entire hall, all the ministers were a little sober.

They put down their glasses and looked at each other.

King Baoxiang, too, gave a limp in his right hand, and with a 'bang', the glass fell to the ground.

"This, this, this ......"

Surprised eyes and tone, obviously never expected Xuanzang to say this!

Not only don't you kill this monster, but you still stay here and be a general who protects the country?

This......

But—

If you think about it, it's okay.

After all, this is a monster, how can the power be comparable to mortals?

Therefore, if you can sincerely submit, it will be a blessing for you to look forward to the king from now on.

When the news spread, the surrounding countries would never dare to rashly invade the Treasure Elephant Country.

But......

But......

This is a monster that has dominated the princess for thirteen years!

How can he be named the protector of the country?

"The king, this princess of a hundred flowers and a shy princess, and the king of the yellow robe really love each other, if you don't believe it, you can ask her. ”

Xuanzang said.

King Elephant hurriedly turned his head to look at his daughter.

Baihua nodded immediately.

In his eyes, there was no hint of disguise.

The ministers were also surprised.

After all, at this time, she has returned to the palace of King Baoxiang, and there is no need for this princess to hide and lie.

So, what is said at this time should be true.

But.

These two people really love each other?

It's also too ......

It's incredible!

"If they really love each other, and the two have been together for thirteen years, if they are separated at this time, I am afraid that in the eyes of the people of Baoxiang Country, the image of this princess will be ......."

Xuanzang didn't continue, but left a meaningful look and tone for these people to taste slowly.

King Baoxiang pondered carefully along the end of Xuanzang's words.

As a last resort.

In desperation, he nodded.
