After the two men arrived in the Imperial City, Wei Zheng, like last time, stopped the carriage outside the Imperial City, and the two men walked into the imperial palace.
Entering the Tai Chi palace that he had visited six months ago, ye Chen saw the emperor sitting on the Dragon chair and master Xuanzang standing below.
He and Wei Zheng went to master Xuanzang together. After they bowed with fists, ye Chen looked at the emperor.
"General ye, how are you preparing for the journey to the West in the past six months?" The emperor first asked Ye Chen.
"Tell the emperor that the minister is ready to go at any time, just waiting for master Xuanzang to speak." Ye Chen bowed again and replied.
"Well, general ye, I order you to accompany master Xuanzang and go west with master Xuanzang from today. During this period, you should protect master Xuanzang comprehensively. You can do it?"
"I'll meet the monkey king in a few months. Does he still need my protection?" Although Ye Chen thought so in his heart, he didn't say it.
"I will go through fire and water without hesitation!" Ye Chen's tone was very firm. The emperor smiled happily when he heard this.
"Well, Aiqing, I didn't choose the wrong person. I hope you can take good care of master Xuanzang on the way to the West. I will reward you both when you return from the Sutra!"
"Thank you, Emperor!" Ye Chen bowed deeply.
"Aiqing, no gift." The emperor said this and looked at Xuanzang. "Master Xuanzang found me yesterday and said that today is a good weather for travel. Aiqing, don't blame me for not telling you this in advance."
"I dare not." How dare Ye Chen blame the emperor? Even if the Emperor didn't tell him, he didn't dare say anything, so he could only say so.
"If Aiqing has nothing to do, you can set out with master Xuanzang now. Master, I give you a BMW, fifty liang of softness and two attendants. Do you have any other requirements?"
"Amitabha, thank you, Emperor. I have no other requirements." Xuanzang said he had nothing to need.
"Well, it's not too late. The mage and general ye will set out immediately. Come and give general ye the things I gave the mage."
The emperor said that the two guards came to Ye Chen with some silver and two attendants. Ye Chen wrapped the silver and his clothes together, and then carried it on his back.
Then Xuanzang stepped out of the hall first. The emperor, Wei Zheng, ye Chen and his entourage also came out. In the open space outside the hall, a guard was holding a white horse waiting for Xuanzang.
Around the hall, there are civil and military officials and some monks waiting to see Xuanzang off. These monks are monks from the temple where Xuanzang once stayed.
Xuanzang went to the horse and gently touched it. "Amitabha, thank you for the reward from the emperor. The horse is very smart. He can take the poor monk to the West."
Just as Xuanzang was about to get on the horse, a monk suddenly came out of the crowd. Ye Chen saw the monk. He knew that the monk was the embodiment of Guanyin Bodhisattva. This time, he came to send a cassock to Xuanzang.
"Master Xuanzang, wait a minute. Please accept me." The monk came to Xuanzang. Xuanzang stopped getting on the horse and took the wrapped things in the monk's hands.
He opened the package and saw a golden cassock. Xuanzang looked at the monk in surprise and didn't understand where the cassock came from.
"This item is called Jinlian cassock, which is given by the Buddha. If you are determined to take scriptures and wear this cassock, you will not fall into reincarnation." With that, the monk took out a tin stick from behind like a trick.
"This tin stick is given by the Buddha. If you hold this tin stick, you won't be poisoned." The monk said that and gave the tin stick to Xuanzang
