Chapter 314 Tell the Prince the truth
"Who are you monsters? How dare you come to our Wuji Kingdom?" The young man tightened his hand holding the sword, "You evacuate the people, I will stop them and buy you time!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! You are a body of gold, so there is no reason why you are standing in front of us!" The soldiers were inspired by the prince's momentum and stood up one after another, "Monster, if you want to eat people, you must pass our level first!"
"Nothing! I am the prince of my country. Follow my orders! Retreat for me and escort the people to evacuate safely!" The prince looked at the smile on his faces of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, his heart trembled, but he still held back his fear and shouted.
"Amitabha." Chen Yi walked out of the carriage and recited the Buddha's name lightly, making the people around him feel like they were bathed in the spring breeze. "You have misunderstood that these people are not monsters, but my disciples. We are monks from the Tang Dynasty in the East and went to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures..."
As Chen Yi's voice spread, the people calmed down one after another. They subconsciously chose to believe what Chen Yi said. After all, such a handsome monk didn't look like a bad person!
"Are you?" The prince looked at Chen Yi hesitantly, glanced at Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie again, and found that there was no abnormal movement between them, and he vaguely believed what Chen Yi said in his heart.
"My Dharma name is Xuanzang, and I come from the Tang Dynasty in the East. I pass by here and want to enter the palace to change official documents. This is what my Tang Dynasty Majesty means." Chen Yi smiled and looked at the prince, "Because there are many demons blocking the road along the way, I found a few disciples to protect me from traveling west..."
"So that's how it is." The prince's eyes lit up, he nodded in a clear way, and looked at Xuanzang with some excitement, "Is it the Tang Dynasty known as the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom?"
"That's right!" Chen Yi nodded with a smile. The reputation of the Tang Dynasty is still very big in this world.
"Holy Monk Come with me." The prince looked happy and pulled Chen Yi into the city of Wuji Kingdom. The carriage followed behind him, and there were many soldiers around him. There was no way. The prince was here, so they couldn't ignore it.
"Saint monk, look at the scene of my Wuji Kingdom. How about it compared to the Tang Dynasty?" The prince, like a hospitable master, pointed to the bustling streets of Wuji Kingdom and asked with a smile.
"No, no, no." Chen Yi nodded again with a smile.
"I don't know, the holy monk thinks, how big is the gap between our Wuji Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty?" A hint of desire flashed in the prince's eyes, "When will our Wuji Kingdom be called the Heavenly Kingdom?"
"The city of Wuji Kingdom is not bad, because what you manage is just a city." Chen Yi shook his head, "Whether in terms of population, land, and even grain output, Wuji Kingdom still needs to work hard..."
"There are a lot of wastelands abroad, so why don't people send people to cultivate them? There can be turned into farmland, and even a new city in the Wuji Kingdom!"
"It costs too much money to reclaim wasteland." The prince sighed helplessly when he heard this, "Besides, the population of my Wuji Country has never been able to increase, and there is no extra labor to reclaim wasteland..."
"What I just said is the gap between the Wuji Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty." Chen Yi looked at the direction of the Wuji Kingdom's palace, "What I want to talk about now is the gap between the Wuji Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty..."
"Prince, I ask you, when you saw the two monsters, Wukong and Bajie, just now, why didn't you run away first, but let the soldiers take the people away first?"
"It was my father who taught me over the years." A trace of respect flashed in the prince's eyes, "The father said that the people are the foundation of a country. Without the support of the people, our Wuji Kingdom cannot be passed on..."
"It seems that King Wuji is a wise king!" Chen Yi nodded with emotion, but frowned again, looking like he was eager to speak but stopped.
"Holy Monk, what's wrong?" The prince saw that Chen Yi had something to say, but took it back and couldn't help asking.
"Don't blame me, only the prince, you can hear my next words." Chen Yi's voice sounded in the prince's ears, but it was not heard by others.
"Holy Monk..." A trace of surprise flashed in the prince's eyes. He did not expect that Chen Yi was still a monk who knew magic!
"I should have no master's fortune in Wuji Country. In other words, Wuji Country has no king at this time..." Chen Yi shook his head obscurely and signaled the prince not to speak out, "But at this time, the prince said that he had been taught by the king over the years, which made me very strange."
"What?" The prince still couldn't help but exclaimed directly.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" The soldiers around ran over and looked at the prince with concern.
"I'm fine." The prince's expression changed significantly, but in the end, the prince calmed down. He glanced at Chen Yi and finally waved his hand, "Okay, you guys retreat first, don't go to the palace. I will take the holy monk to find a place to settle first, and take him to pay homage to his father tomorrow!"
"Yes!" The soldiers did not feel suspicious. After responding, they turned around and left, but still followed behind.
"Hehe, it seems that the master is going to start fooling the prince!" Sun Wukong smiled and began to send a message to Zhu Bajie.
"What does fooling mean? Master is just telling the truth!" Zhu Bajie smiled and shook his head, "Besides, Master is doing this for the sake of the prince!"
"Otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke to call a stranger's father for so many years but have no idea about it?"
After the soldiers left, the prince looked at Chen Yi deeply, but did not see any strangeness on Chen Yi's face. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "I'll ask the Holy Monk to come with me. I still have something to say to the Holy Monk..."
"Then I'll be disrespectful." Chen Yi nodded with a faint smile and followed the prince to continue walking forward.
However, this time the destination was not the royal palace, but another large courtyard, which was the residence of the prince, and the prince did not live in the palace.
"What the Holy Monk said before is true?" As soon as he entered the mansion, the prince dismissed his servants and asked with his eyes staring at Chen Yi.
"Of course it's true." Chen Yi nodded calmly, "So, I'm still wondering why the humanitarian fortune of Wuji Country is quite good, but there is no king in charge. Moreover, I can feel that Wuji Country began to flourish three years ago..."
