Outside the Southwest Palace, the monk came over, looked at the palace in front of him, hesitated for a moment, stepped forward, bowed respectfully to the two soldiers in front of the palace, and said politely:

Amitabha, the two generals, and the poor monk want to see the princess. I wonder if they can inform you on your behalf?

Do you want to see the princess?

In front of the palace, the two soldiers looked at each other, and one of them spoke and asked.

Yes, the poor monk knows the whereabouts of Princess Qingqing and wants to inform the princess. The monk said.

When the two soldiers heard this, they laughed and said, "Monk, if you want to defraud the bounty, you must find out clearly before you come back. The princess has been back for several days. It is too late to defraud the bounty now!"

The princess has returned home?

The monk heard this and looked slightly condensed, saying, can this be true?

How can this be false? Monk, go away quickly. For the sake of your reputation as a monk, I will spare you this time and never do it next time!

One of the soldiers responded, and then began to attack people impatiently.

The monk was pushed back a step and looked at the palace in front of him, his expression becoming more solemn.

Strangely, Princess Qingqing is obviously dead.

Could it be that this matter is related to the evil spirit in the palace just now?

Thinking of this, the monk turned around and left in front of the palace, standing across the street, waiting silently.

He wanted to see if a demon really appeared in the palace!

At the same time, quarrels broke out in the inner courtyard of the palace, and not long after, the girl rushed out of the door and trotted to the water pavilion in the palace.

In the pavilion, Sanzang, who was practicing, opened his eyes and saw the angry girl running next to him. He asked with confusion on his face, "Princess, what happened?"

I'm furious!

Qingqing looked aggrieved and said, The princess actually asked me to go to the Great Shang Capital to marry some eldest prince!

After Sanzang heard this, a strange color flashed in his eyes and said, Princess, the princess is your mother, why do you call her so?

Qingqing looked startled, and then said with a guilty conscience, "Aren't I angry?"

Princess, although the young monk is a monk, he has heard that marriages in the secular world are ordered by parents and matchmakers. The marriage arranged by the princess must have been carefully selected. Why are you so angry? Sanzang wondered.

.

I do not like!

Qingqing said angrily, I want to marry the person I like.

Having said this, Qingqing looked at the little monk beside her and said, "Monk, please take me away. I don't like anyone but you!"

Amitabha!

After Sanzang heard the words, he recited the Buddha's name, Tao, sin, sin, Princess, please don't talk nonsense about this. The young monk is a monk and has dedicated his whole life to me, the Buddha.

What's wrong with being a monk? Can't a monk have someone he likes? Qingqing said angrily.

cannot.

Sanzang shook his head firmly and responded.

I do not care!

Qingqing hugged the former's arm again and said, I don't want to marry any eldest prince anyway.

Sanzang frowned, struggled to break free, stood up immediately, put his hands together in a salute, and said, Amitabha, Princess, the young monk is really leaving!

After saying that, Sanzang turned around and prepared to leave.

Monk, if you want to leave, I will jump down.

From behind, Qingqing spoke, her expression became serious, and she said.

Sanzang paused for a moment, with a look of hesitation on his childishly white face. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and continued walking forward.

Plop!

At this moment, the sound of falling water sounded from behind, so harsh.

Sanzang heard the movement behind him and turned around quickly, only to see that the pavilion behind him was now empty.

Princess!

With an anxious look on Sanzang's face, he walked quickly towards the pavilion and jumped down without any hesitation.

Not long after, Sanzang emerged from the water with a girl in his arms and tried his best to drag the girl to the pavilion.

Princess!

In the pavilion, Sanzang shook the unconscious girl vigorously and shouted anxiously.

Monk.

After a few breaths, Qingqing coughed a few times, opened her eyes weakly, grabbed the former's clothes with her delicate hands, and said, "Don't leave."

Princess, why are you doing this? Sanzang sighed softly and said.

Qingqing grabbed the former's clothes tightly, closed her eyes, and refused to let go no matter what.

Sanzang was silent, looking at the pitiful girl in front of him. For some reason, a complex emotion arose in his heart.

My God, what should he do?

Not far away, the princess who heard her daughter falling into the water hurriedly came over. She happened to see the scene in the pavilion and frowned.

princess.

From behind, a servant came forward and saluted respectfully.

Immediately arrange carriages and manpower to go to the capital, and send the princess to the capital tomorrow. The princess said solemnly.

yes!

The servant accepted the order and left quickly.

On the water bank, the princess looked at the pavilion in front of her. After a moment, she snorted coldly and turned around to leave.

Bad fate!

On the second day, at dawn, the carriage and the farewell team had arrived in front of the palace, preparing to take the princess to the capital of Great Shang.

In the palace, the quarrel resounded again, this time it was even more intense.

The princess's attitude was very firm and she had no intention of compromising.

Half an hour later, Qingqing left the inner courtyard angrily, wanting to go to the water pavilion again.

However, the officers and soldiers in the mansion stopped him.

Princess, it’s time to leave!

The general who had taken Qingqing back home stepped forward and said respectfully.

I won’t go to the capital! Qingqing said angrily.

The princess's order cannot be violated. Princess, I have offended you!

The general said something, then looked at the two soldiers in front and motioned to take the princess away.

Let me go!

Qingqing was furious, green light flashed in her eyes, and she was about to resist, when she suddenly stopped and saw the young monk not far away.

As a result, Qingqing's body suddenly softened and she no longer resisted.

Not far away, Sanzang looked at the princess being taken away by the royal guards, with unbearable eyes flashing.

Little monk, even if I die, I will never marry that eldest prince.

Under the coercion of the two royal guards, Qingqing opened her mouth and whispered something, her voice not too loud, but so firm.

Ten steps away, Sanzang trembled when he heard Qingqing's words. Although his expression remained calm, he was struggling more and more in his heart.

In front of the palace, Qingqing was put into a carriage by the palace guards and set off immediately without any delay.

The carriage rumbled, escorted by the royal guards, and they rushed towards the great merchant capital.

Across the street, the monk looked at Princess Qingqing getting into the carriage with a strange look on his face.

Strange, there is no smell of blood, isn’t it a demon?

Monsters eat humans, and their bloody smell cannot be concealed, making them easy to identify.

However, the girl just now did not have such a bloody smell.

Thinking of this, the monk hesitated for a moment and followed behind the convoy.

We can only take a look at the situation first, and then look for opportunities to identify it carefully.

Not long after the palace team left, Sanzang walked out in front of the palace, looking at the motorcade in the distance, silent, his expression full of struggle.

Amitabha.

For a long time, Sanzang chanted the Buddha's name and made up his mind.
