On the Indian fleet, Master Xuanzang was standing side by side with the fleet general Pashikar and talking.

"General, there is a saying in the Central Plains that when two countries fight, they will come to the envoys, so after you send me to the Tang Dynasty ship, I will first go to see the Tang Dynasty general, and then communicate with you to go together so that both sides will not be able to cause misunderstandings."

Paschal nodded and said, "Since the mage was ordered by our king to talk to you, I will just listen to you. If we can really reach an agreement to avoid war, I can give an explanation to the general and the navy soldiers when I go back."

At this time, the fleet observer commander shouted: "Report to General, the enemy is accelerating. Look at their formation as if it were a charging posture. Should we fight?"

"Fight! Wait, how could they attack us for no reason? Tell them the flag words and say we are going to negotiate."

A general's basic qualities made him blurt out and fight, but then he remembered that he was just here to send a messenger and did not lead a large team. How could he fight against the Tang Dynasty's ships? So he quickly changed his words.

But he seemed to have forgotten that the two sides could not understand the language, so how could the Tang Dynasty understand the flag language of India?

If it is Feng Ang's southern fleet, there is still a possibility. After all, these people have been dealing with people in Funan for many years, but Hou Junji is not. He is an authentic northern navy and trained by himself. The training exercises are all advanced things provided by Bai Fan. They cannot understand the local flag language of India, and they don't need to understand it.

The two sides came towards each other, and they had a short war in almost a quarter of an hour. There was no suspense or surprise at all. The mature large warships of the Tang Dynasty and the small sea ships of Tianzhu were completely destroyed. Before Xuanzang could shout out a few words about the Chineseization of the Tang Dynasty, the headed warships of Tianzhu were overturned, and everyone on the ship fell into the sea and died uncertain.

"Report to the general, we have made great achievements in this battle. We have destroyed eight enemy warships and eight enemy soldiers from the sea. Among them, we have focused on salvaging them to identify one of the generals, and the rest that are not generals were thrown into the water again." Sima in the army reported loudly to Hou Junji.

Hou Junji looked indifferent and shook his head and sighed: "It's boring, boring. If I had known this, I would rather stay in the court. Maybe the Minister of War is mine now. What a large-scale naval battle? Marquis of Lantian misled me!

In the future, if there are such a number of wars, you don’t have to report to me the data you have obtained. Remember it yourself and report it to the court when the cumulative amount is ten times more. Otherwise, it will be such a small battle that will be passed to the court, and I, Hou Junji, cannot afford to lose this person."

Sima in the army quickly bowed and said yes, and said in his heart that the general is indeed a general, with a different vision and grand attitude.

"General, there is a special person among the prisoners we caught. He is a monk. He also said that he came from Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty and was named Xuanzang. His subordinates thought he was a liar, so they threw him into the sea again."

When Hou Junji heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, "Who are you talking about? Xuanzang? Which Xuanzang? A monk? Why is it so familiar?

Oh, wasn’t that the monk whom Your Majesty personally sent to Chang’an in the second year of Zhenguan? Could it be that he was really Master Xuanzang? Salvage it quickly and don’t make the mistake of the person.”

It was not long before Master Xuanzang, who had almost drunk sea water and had half full, was salvaged. When Hou Junji saw it, he saw that he really looked like a Han monk.

After half a day, Xuanzang woke up by being rescued and asked, "Who is General Junji, the Datang Hou? Xuanzang asked for a meeting."

"The master is Master Xuanzang who sent His Majesty the gift to Chang'an to seek sutras? Hou Junji was disrespectful."

Xuanzang stood up and sorted out his appearance, and asked, "Why did the general attack the Buddhist holy land of Tianzhu for no reason? The Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette in the Shangbang. When did such a warlike and bloodthirsty navy begin to have?"

One sentence made Hou Junji frown. If it weren't for the fact that this monk could speak in front of His Majesty, he would have been able to kill him on the spot because he dared to speak rudely.

He said coldly: "The master is too polite, so what about the holy land of Buddhism? Your Majesty of the Tang Dynasty is full of blessings and the world surrenders. Could it be that after more than ten years of going out, the master has devoted himself to other countries and forgot to give birth to his own ancestral land?"

"The general is so domineering. You must know that war will perish. The Tang Dynasty and the Tianzhu are not bound by each other. Why do you have to attack? You can add so many murders to each other?

King Jieri of Tianzhu was sincere in establishing diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty, and said that he would go to the Tang Dynasty to personally visit His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Today's general's trip to destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries?" Xuanzang talked happily.

"Hahahaha, the master has been away for many years, and I'm afraid he has long been unaware of the situation in the country. Over the past ten years, His Majesty the Tang Dynasty has worked hard to govern, and the whole country has united to destroy the four barbarians. Now the grasslands, Goguryeo Peninsula, Japan, the southeast Tubo, Piao Kingdom, and the Funan land are all under the rule of our Tang Dynasty.

It can be said that our Tang Dynasty had directly bordered the Kingdom of Tianzhu. After the guidance of the Marquis of Lantian, we realized that it would be more convenient to take the sea route or come to Tianzhu. It can be seen how time-consuming and laborious the masters were in the Western Regions back then."

Hou Junji laughed and told Xuanzang about the current prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and to such an overseas fellow villager, he was particularly energetic.

"What??? The Tang Dynasty conquered the four directions? How is this possible?" Xuanzang was stunned. Why had he never heard of it?

In fact, he didn't know that the Western Regions were cut off by the Western Turks. In addition to passing through Tubo, Tianzhu didn't know the news about the Tang Dynasty, but Tubo was separated by Daxue Mountains and it was difficult to get around. Later, Tubo was destroyed and there was no contact directly.

"Why is it impossible? Could it be that in the eyes of the master, I, the Tang Dynasty, should have been bullied by barbarians from all directions? Shouldn't we fight back?" Hou Junji snorted coldly.

"Haha, the Tang Dynasty is powerful, so I am naturally happy as a Tang Dynasty man. But the war will add to the devastation of countless creatures, and the monks can't bear it.

I made a great wish that I would travel west to the Buddhist ancestral land and seek the Mahayana Buddhism that saved the sufferings and ended all sufferings in the world. I did not expect to delay too long in India. It seems that I would speed up." Xuanzang chanted the Buddha's name.

A deputy general next to him said, "Haha, Master, I'm afraid there is no need. No one believes in your way. Your Buddhists have done a lot of evil and have been made public. The people are disgusted with Buddhism, and they are even beaten. If the Marquis had not been merciful and did not want to eradicate the roots, I'm afraid your Buddhists would be eliminated directly in the Tang Dynasty.

Now there are no Buddhist temples in Chang'an. There are probably only two or three Buddhist temples including Shaolin Temple are left in the territory of the Tang Dynasty to close their doors to avoid disaster. You don't need to bring your Buddhist scriptures back."

What did you say? Xuanzang exclaimed, and a mouthful of blood was spurted out and fainted on the ground.
