Chapter 11: A Trip to the Novel Palace Section 2
The continents on the Dinosaur Planet are mainly divided into three areas: first is the Central Continent with a warm and comfortable climate. It has been ruled by the Tyrannosaurus Rex for more than a hundred years and has always intimidated all directions with the reputation of the Dinosaur Empire; heading north from the Central Continent is a barren wasteland full of deserts and weeds. Before being developed by the Tyrannosaurus Rex, this wasteland was once the habitat of many ferocious wandering dinosaurs. Now, after the governance of the empire's eldest prince Zhuo Yue, the wasteland has gradually shown signs of recovery; and to the south of the Central Continent is another country on this planet - the Ice Dragon Empire. Because it is located in the polar regions of the planet, the climate here is cold and frozen all year round. Normally, ordinary dinosaurs have no way to survive here, but a dinosaur called the Icefield Plesiosaur has relied on its own adaptability to the environment to live here for more than decades and eventually built this country.
Although the Gu family that rules the Ice Dragon Empire is not as strong as the Tyrannosaurus Rex in terms of combat power, they are good at using poison. During the years of confrontation between the two countries, they have used their advantage in using poison to avoid being at a disadvantage.
However, the power of the Tyrannosaurus Rex Zhuo family is too strong. The Gu family has planned countless actions to invade the Central Continent over the years, but all of them ended in failure.
What's more, more than 20 years ago, Gu Yunzhi, who was then the prince of the Ice Dragon Empire, met Yang Xue, who has now become the queen of the Dinosaur Empire, during a mission to visit the Dinosaur Empire.
Not long after Gu Yunzhi returned to his country, he inherited the throne. However, unlike the previous kings, he did not immediately start planning an attack on the Central Continent. Instead, he found another way and signed a friendly agreement with the Dinosaur Empire. The two countries finally stopped their endless struggle and could sit down quietly to help each other and develop together.
At first, there were some idle voices from the outside world saying that King Gu Yunzhi was addicted to the beauty of the Queen of the Dinosaur Empire and was bewitched by her, so he gave up the offensive strategy against the Central Continent. But gradually, Gu Yunzhi's friendly measures actually brought vitality to the Ice Dragon Empire. With the help of the rich material resources of the Dinosaur Empire, the lives of the people of the Ice Dragon Empire gradually improved, and the doubts about Gu Yunzhi gradually faded.
However, the outside world's speculation is not completely wrong.
At this moment, Gu Yunzhi, who was sitting in front of the desk in the bedroom, was staring at the pearl necklace in his hand in a daze.
She returned the gift he had given her. Gu Yunzhi sighed and laughed at himself for being useless. It was obvious that Yang Xue had chosen Zhuo Qing without hesitation more than 20 years ago, so why had he been so stubborn for so many years?
In the end, I'm afraid it's just that I'm unwilling to accept it.
Gu Yunzhi frowned, remembering what Yang Xue had said to him many years ago: "Gu Yunzhi, what good can war bring to the people? Not at all! You will only cause more people to be displaced and their families to be broken up. Why can't we consider a more peaceful solution so that the people of both countries can live in peace and stability?"
He had agreed at the time. Having grown up in war, he had seen too many separations and deaths, and he didn't want his people to suffer anymore. Moreover, Yang Xue was Zhuo Qing's queen, so how could he attack the people she loved?
Therefore, Gu Yunzhi withstood the pressure and insisted on the friendly agreement for more than 20 years. He thought everything could continue to go smoothly, but he did not expect that more than half a year ago, the Antarctic glaciers suddenly encountered a freezing climate that only occurs once every 30 years, and countless crops suffered as a result; the people were unable to escape, and many were buried under the snow. What's more terrifying is that this freezing climate will last at least a year and a half, and he is afraid that if it continues like this, his people will not be able to bear it.
The noisy voices gradually re-emerged in the country: The Antarctic glaciers were no longer suitable for people to survive, so why didn't the Empire regroup and attack the Dinosaur Empire? Even if they couldn't take over the entire Central Continent, occupying a small area would be enough for the people of the Ice Dragon Empire to recuperate.
For the sake of his country and people, Gu Yunzhi had to reconsider this issue even if he was reluctant. But is there a way to avoid war? He thought, maybe he should go to the Dinosaur Empire and talk to Zhuo Qing to see if he could lend him some resources for emergency.
But just as he was thinking deeply, the guard's urgent voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Gu Yunzhi put away the pearl necklace and said, "If you have anything to say, come in and tell me."
The guard half-knelt on the ground as soon as he entered the door: "Gu Lei...Prince Gu Lei was attacked in the Dinosaur Empire!"
Gu Yunzhi instantly opened his dark red eyes, turned his head and asked, "What's going on?"
This guard was one of Gu Lei's closest bodyguards, but at this moment he looked as if he was hesitant to speak. He just handed a small USB flash drive and a letter to the king: "Your Highness told me to personally show you this video and letter. Your Highness the Prince...he was injured by the dinosaur in the video. He also asked me to tell Your Majesty that with the help of the dinosaur in the video, our Ice Dragon Nation will definitely be able to seize the Central Continent in one fell swoop this time!"
Gu Yunzhi frowned and listened to what he said. He did not judge him, but just waved his hand: "I understand, you can leave."
After the guards left, Gu Yunzhi plugged the USB drive into the computer. As the video played, his pupils dilated. He stared in amazement at the giant creature floating in the air, muttering, "...Dragon God?"
Like the Dinosaur Empire, the Ice Dragon Empire also has legends about the Dragon God's once invincibility. Gu Yunzhi pondered for a while, then opened the letter that Gu Lei gave him. The content of the letter was very simple: "Father, the Dragon God who disappeared for a long time has appeared in the world. I will find a way to bring her back to the Ice Dragon Kingdom as soon as possible. Then our plan to attack the Central Continent will surely succeed."
Gu Yunzhi, however, was not as determined as his son. If the other party was really the Dragon God, how could his son bring him back so easily and let the Ice Dragon Nation use him?
He sighed. It seemed that maybe he should go to the Dinosaur Empire himself, as he was afraid that Gu Lei had caused a lot of trouble there again.
"Hurry up and teach me!" Standing in the spacious fighting arena of the imperial palace, He Wei pulled Zhuo Fei's arm and acted coquettishly.
Zhuo Fei scratched his golden hairy head, looking a little reluctant: "Why do you have to learn how to transform? Actually, it doesn't matter if you can't transform. I can protect you."
"But I really want to know what I will look like after the transformation !" These past few days, Zhuo Fei's funny parents would say to her whenever they saw her: "Hey, long-haired boy, give us a grandson soon!" She almost felt like a slug!
Zhuo Fei didn't want He Wei to learn transformation, the most important purpose was to protect her. His parents had already discussed with him before, if he really wanted to marry this girl, it would be best not to let her have anything to do with the Dragon God, so as not to attract the calculating eyes of some people hiding in the dark.
But now He Wei was clinging to him like a koala, how could Zhuo Fei bear it? He had no choice but to agree reluctantly: "Okay, okay, but you have to listen to me and can't do it yourself. You are not like us, you can transform from birth, so if you force it, you will be unconscious for a long time like last time."
He Wei immediately nodded excitedly: "Yeah, yeah, I get it, I'll listen to you."
So Zhuo Fei took off his shirt, and He Wei was suddenly stunned for a moment: "Ah! The transformation will tear the clothes..." Doesn't that mean she will take the initiative to take off all her clothes in front of this guy?
The other party immediately grinned and said, "What else? Don't you want to learn anymore?"
"Who, who said that! Anyway..." Anyway, he had seen it that night! He Wei blushed and glared at him, "Show it to me first!"
Zhuo Fei walked up to her with a smile, stretched out his hand and rubbed her face randomly: "Silly girl, watch carefully."
He walked to about two meters away from He Wei and said, "Generally speaking, when you want to transform, you just need to keep giving yourself hints in your mind, 'I want to transform.' The stronger this thought and intention is, the greater the possibility of success." In the past, many dumb dragons succeeded in transforming by constantly giving themselves psychological hints.
He Wei stared at Zhuo Fei seriously. As he spoke, a layer of light golden light emanated from his body. Then his whole body suddenly swelled up and soon transformed into a brave Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The transformed Tyrannosaurus Rex even touched He Wei's calf with its tail: "How about it, am I not domineering?"
"Yes, you are the most handsome!" He Wei giggled and talked for a while, then she imitated him and tried hard to repeat in her heart, "I want to transform, I want to transform, I want to transform!"
She thought that she would not be able to succeed so quickly in her first transformation, but when she opened her eyes again, she saw the Tyrannosaurus Rex looking at her with a stunned look, and pinched her soft and scaly waist with its claws: "It is indeed a long strip..."
"I hate you! Get away from me!" Suddenly, a girl's angry and arrogant voice was heard in the sky above the palace garden.
Queen Yang Xue, who was sitting in the garden to enjoy the cool air, looked up when she heard the voice and was shocked to find that the gentle voice actually came from the mouth of a dinosaur flying in the sky.
The whole body of this dinosaur exudes a bright and beautiful bright red color. The scales on its body flash golden light from time to time under the sunlight. Its two pitch-black eyes make it look ferocious, but its graceful and lovely posture when swimming in the air clearly tells outsiders one thing: this is a female dinosaur.
So Yang Xue said to Zhuo Qing, who was sitting in the pavilion reading official documents, while eating melon seeds: "Husband, come out quickly, there are dinosaurs flying in the sky!"
Zhuo Qing then came over with the official document and ate a few melon seeds that Yang Xue had peeled. He then looked up at the flying red dragon and said, "She learned how to transform so quickly? This girl is not bad. Well, she should be able to give us grandchildren soon in the future."
Yang Xue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't just think about your grandson. Hey, have you found any information? Is Xiao Wei the legendary dragon god?"
“Ah…” Zhuo Qing also looked puzzled. “I have taken out all the historical records I have kept, but there really aren’t many records about the Dragon God. However, from the descriptions in those nursery rhymes and mythological stories, I always feel that the Dragon God should be a man.”
After saying this, Yang Xue immediately slapped him on the back of the head: "You are discriminating against us female compatriots! Why can't women be dragon gods?"
"No, no, honey, how dare I do that! But you see, in the old myths, the dragon god was described as brave and invincible. His majesty even made many female dinosaurs fall in love with him. Look at our Xiaowei, the way she swims is not majestic at all. It's obvious that she's just trying to be cute."
It seems to make sense. Yang Xue thought for a while and came up with another possibility: "Then what do you think, could she be the descendant of the Dragon God?"
"My wife is really smart. She and I thought the same thing! I have asked someone to check. It is said that Xiaowei has a distant aunt. If we ask that aunt, maybe we can get some clues."
"Well, no matter what, Xiao Wei is already our son's chosen wife. He has never been so serious about anyone before, so you are not allowed to have any ideas about Xiao Wei! I know that the Ice Dragon Prince Gu Lei wants to steal her away to strengthen their military strength."
"Hehe, I just want her to give us a grandson as soon as possible, so that we can strengthen the power of the Zhuo family."
"It's easy for you to say that. Our son loves her so much that he can't bear to touch her!" Yang Xue was actually quite anxious. Over the years, her two sons had grown up gradually, and the sounds of children laughing and playing could no longer be heard in the palace. Yang Xue couldn't help but want to experience the feeling of taking care of a baby again.
