Chapter 2225

"Sister, do you remember? In the past, you advised me not to be too infatuated, saying it wasn't worth it for that kind of man, but now, could it be that you have been bewitched by feelings?"

Die Lan suddenly turned her head, looked at the Queen, and then said abruptly.

The Queen was silent for a moment, then said, "Die Lan, what on earth are you talking about? I am not at all what you think."

"This is a high monk from the Tang Dynasty. All the kingdoms across this vast land hold the Tang Dynasty in high esteem. I just don't want to see them unable to complete their pilgrimage because of the Daughter River."

"Come to think of it, our Kingdom of Women should also bear some responsibility."

The corners of Die Lan's mouth curled up, a meaningful smile appearing in his eyes as he looked at Tang Sanzang.

It was a handsome face; anyone who saw it would have to praise his good looks. Tang Sanzang's dignified and extraordinary appearance seemed to remind him of something.

"Fine, since you insist that I take them, then I will take them there."

Die Lan said suddenly, a faint smile on his face.

"In that case, many thanks to the Queen and the Royal Uncle!"

Tang Sanzang cupped his hands, bowed slightly, and then said.

"Heh." Die Lan chuckled and said, "Someone once told me that the better-looking someone is, the worse their heart is. I wonder if that's true or false."

The way Die Lan spoke, he didn't seem to consider the feelings of Tang Sanzang and the others at all.

However, from his words, it was not hard to guess that he and the person in the forest north of the city seemed to be hiding some kind of secret.

"Li Tong, take a few of the most skilled soldiers and go with Die Lan to take the Tang high monk and his companions to the forest north of the city."

The Queen's gaze swept across the great hall, looked at the sturdy woman standing by the palace wall, and then she said loudly.

"No need, Sister. You saw the skills of these masters just now. Do you think the soldiers Li Tong brings can compare to them?"

Die Lan suddenly turned his head to look at the Queen, his gaze calm as he spoke.

Li Tong was about to step forward to accept the order, but upon hearing Die Lan say this, she retreated to the side.

Sun Wukong glanced at his group and suddenly said, "Master, then let me, Fahai, and Old Sha go with Royal Uncle Die Lan. There might be danger there, so you should stay in the palace and wait."

Tang Sanzang looked at Sun Wukong, nodded, and said, "Very well, Wukong. Be sure to bring back the method to abort the fetus."

While they were talking, Die Lan had already slowly walked down from the hall. He held his head high, his face showing little expression, but Sun Wukong could still see a trace of sorrow between his brows.

"Your Majesty, I will help this Elder Zhu to the bed and settle him in, then give him some medicinal soup to soothe the fetus and stop the pain."

Li Tong walked to the center of the hall and said loudly.

"That will do."

The Queen smiled slightly and said.

Then, Li Tong walked directly to Marshal Tianpeng's side, crouched down, wrapped her arms around him, and actually lifted him up.

This scene left Sun Wukong, Fahai, and the others stunned. Marshal Tianpeng weighed at least two or three hundred catties, yet this female general named Li Tong was actually able to lift him up.

"Ah! Can't you be a bit gentler with your movements?"

Marshal Tianpeng frowned and said loudly.

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, I will be careful."

Li Tong's eyes flickered, and she said hurriedly.
