Chapter 228: Arriving at Zhuzi Kingdom, passive skill activated, expanding territory

After passing Xishi Hollow, Tang An and her group continued westward.

The terrain and local customs here were clearly different from those in the Great Tang.

Tang An was in no rush anyway, walking and stopping along the way, occasionally sightseeing, not taking the scripture seeking seriously at all.

Once they reached the capital of the Zhuzi Kingdom, Tang An finally focused her mind to continue her great cause of expanding territory.

"Master, Master." Sun Wukong, who loved excitement the most, ran back from the front, "There are many people gathered ahead, does Master want to take a look?"

"Sure, let's go."

Not only were Tang An and her group heading there, but many commoners were also rushing toward the lively area.

With the crowded flow of people, it was inevitable that they would bump into Tang An.

Nezha grabbed Tang An's collar first, pulling her back like a chick.

"Phew~" Tang An almost hit the ground face-first, "It would be a pity to use my beautiful face as a brake."

Nezha knew Tang An was playing that meme again.

He didn't understand it, but he knew Tang An was being full of herself again.

"Walk on the inside." He pulled Tang An's collar again and stuffed her into the middle of the three of them.

Within the space formed by the triangle of the three of them, Tang An was undoubtedly the safest.

"Go away~"

Sun Wukong deliberately scared the passersby, making them clear a path so they wouldn't keep pushing people.

Yang Jian fanned his fan, spreading a gentle force around them so that the commoners couldn't get close.

Nezha was the simplest; the heat from his Samadhi True Fire was truly not something ordinary commoners could handle, so everyone consciously stayed far away from Nezha.

As for Jiuyue and Xiaotian Quan, they went off to play and didn't join the crowd.

"Master, come quickly, come quickly." Sun Wukong squeezed out a path for Tang An so she could squeeze in.

Actually, there was nothing special; it was just that a medical notice had been posted here.

"Master, should we take it or not?"

"Take it, of course we must take it." If we don't take the notice, how will the plot proceed?

Sun Wukong didn't care how others looked at it and took the notice down immediately.

The official guarding the notice saw someone taking it and immediately came forward to ask who could treat illnesses.

"I can't treat illnesses, but my disciples can."

"In short, the dead can be brought back to life, and severed limbs can be regenerated, so you can rest assured."

Tang An wasn't exaggerating; after all, hadn't Sun Wukong pulled that dead little shepherd boy back from the Underworld before, and even added decades of lifespan?

As for severed limb regeneration, Tang An's Universe Bag was full of treasures; this was just a small matter.

Of course, Tang An also knew that this King's illness had nothing to do with his body; it was just that heart disease required heart medicine.

"Hey, may I ask, what is the greatest reward for curing your Majesty?"

"This..." The officials looked at each other, "If the divine doctor can truly cure him, we will definitely report to his Majesty and ask him to give you the highest level of reward."

"Ask?" In Tang An's dictionary, there was no such word as "ask," only others asking her.

She took out the Princess Token, "Since I am to treat the illness, I naturally must see your King, lead the way."

The officials originally thought Tang An was just an ordinary wandering doctor, but they didn't expect her to take out a Princess Token.

It was fine if they didn't check the token, but once they did, they saw the Great Tang seal engraved on the back.

"Great Tang Princess?"

The officials didn't dare to be negligent and quickly bowed in salute.

For nearly two years, the Great Tang had repeatedly conquered surrounding territories, and the Great Tang Princess had traveled west, taking down several countries without shedding blood.

Such deeds had long spread among the countries in the mortal world.

Now that the King of Zhuzi Kingdom ignored state affairs, what these ministers feared and were anxious about was the instability of their court when the Great Tang attacked.

As a result, they didn't expect that before the Great Tang's iron cavalry arrived, the Great Tang Princess had already arrived.

If they were rude to Tang An now, wouldn't that just give Tang An an excuse to cause trouble?

"Princess, and all the lords, please follow this official to the post house, how about that?"

The officials didn't dare to be negligent and took Tang An to the highest-standard post house.

Everything was served with the best food and drink, fearing to cause Tang An even the slightest dissatisfaction.

"How does the Princess feel? Is there anything else you need to order?"

"No." Tang An was actually quite satisfied.

However, a meme fitting the situation popped up in her heart, "You treat me too well, I'll beat you too."

"When will you let your King come to see me for treatment?"

The official sighed, "Our Majesty has been ill for a long time, rarely holds court, and is even less willing to see people."

"If we were to ask his Majesty to come voluntarily, this is probably..."

Actually, Tang An also knew that they didn't want to weaken their own momentum. There was no reason for a King of their own country to come and pay respects to a Princess of another country.

"I won't make things difficult for you; tomorrow at the hour of the dragon, I will go to your Zhuzi Kingdom Royal Palace myself."

"At that time, whether it is to treat the illness and save the person, or to stamp the passage document, I don't want to not see anyone, do you understand?"

"Yes, yes..." The official quickly ordered more people to serve her; he didn't dare to offend Tang An and provoke the Great Tang iron cavalry to accelerate their troop deployment.

After the people left, Sun Wukong picked up a peach from the fruit plate, wiped it in his hand, and ate it.

"Master, will you let me handle the diagnosis tomorrow?"

"No need."

"Oh?" Sun Wukong looked at Tang An with curiosity, "Has Master learned that art of medicine?"

Tang An shook her head, "No."

"No?" Sun Wukong jumped to the side, "Oh~ I understand, Master must know what illness that King is suffering from."

"With the treasures on Master, curing a mortal is indeed no difficult task."

"Smart, worthy of being my Wukong."

Tang An didn't need any medicine at all; if nothing went wrong, she only needed to save his wife, and his heart disease would naturally be resolved.

"Yang Jian, can you go do one more thing?"

"Does Master have another idea?"

"Hmm." Tang An whispered a few instructions to Yang Jian, and Yang Jian rode off on clouds.

Actually, what she instructed was nothing else but to let Yang Jian go to the monster's cave to confirm and protect the Queen's safety.

With the tragedy of Bai Susu before her, Tang An was extremely cautious in her actions now, trying her best to stabilize things and not let innocent people suffer disaster.

Nezha sat down listlessly and poured himself a glass of water.

"What's wrong, Nezha?"

Nezha didn't speak, just kept drinking water.

Tang An let out a "Pfft" and laughed, "Are you performing as a big water buffalo?"

Nezha put down the water glass and frowned at Tang An, "Am I not powerful?"

"You are powerful."

"Then am I not smart?"

"Uh... you..." Tang An was thinking about how to say it without hurting the child's heart.

But why was he asking these things for no reason?

"Nezha, you wouldn't be unhappy just because I praised Wukong and didn't praise you, right?"

Nezha's eyes widened slightly, and he turned his face away, "No."

"Then that's it." Tang An got the answer directly.

"No..."

"No what no, our Nezha is so powerful, who says you aren't powerful?"

She held Nezha's face and started her praising mode by pressing her face against his.

Without exaggeration, she watched Nezha's face turn red instantly, so shy from her praise that he wanted to run away. ===== CHAPTER 229 =====
