Chapter 12: The War Horn Sounds Section 2
The guards could not fight back against her, but led her forward quickly with a serious look, fearing that King Zhuo Qing would change his mind again. After a lot of twists and turns, He Wei was finally brought out of the palace, and a black car had already been parked in a remote corner waiting.
He Wei was brought to the side of the car. Just as she was about to ask something, the door was opened from the inside. Gu Lei, wearing a white suit, slowly got out of the car. When he saw He Wei, he immediately bowed to her like a gentleman: "Long time no see, Xiao Wei, get in the car."
"You... aren't you injured and in hospital?" He Wei stared at him in astonishment.
"Well, those few times when you scratched me with your claws were really strong, but fortunately I recovered very quickly." Gu Lei grabbed her wrist and pushed her into the car without any gentleness.
The driver started the car immediately, and the vehicle sped away under the dark night sky. He Wei couldn't help but turn her head and ask, "What about your father? Are you just going to leave him here? He's been poisoned, and we don't know what happened yet!"
"Oh - that, don't worry, I know it wasn't you who poisoned me." Gu Lei said nonchalantly.
He Wei couldn't help but be even more surprised: "You...you know?"
"Yes, because I was the one who poisoned him." Gu Lei turned his head to look at He Wei with a faint smile on his face. "Before going to the palace, he came to the hospital to see me. I added poison to the fruit he ate. This poison was researched by me, but it doesn't take effect immediately after eating. It requires someone outside to help turn on the 'switch' for the poison to take effect. So, after he drank the glass of wine you toasted him, I asked the guards around him to take action. It looks like you poisoned him, right?"
He Wei couldn't believe it. She reached out and grabbed his suit, cursing, "He is your biological father! Why would you attack your biological father?"
Gu Lei laughed sarcastically: "Biological father? So what? Only vulgar people like you will be bound by the so-called 'blood relationship' and end up not being able to accomplish anything great."
"If you still think of him as your father, go get someone to rescue him now!" He Wei grabbed his collar and ordered.
Gu Lei took advantage of the situation and grabbed her hand: "It's useless. My poison has no antidote. You will die within three seconds after the poison takes effect. So now, I am the new king of the Ice Dragon Nation."
"You...you killed...killed your father just to become king? But you are his only son. No matter what, the throne will definitely be yours in the future!"
"How long will it take? Maybe even if all the people of the Ice Dragon Kingdom are dead, he still won't order an attack on the Dinosaur Empire." Gu Lei couldn't help but sneer, "Isn't it just for the woman he loves? He doesn't want to see that woman named Yang Xue sad, so he has the heart to let the people of his country live in pain! What, do you still think that my father is a qualified king?"
He Wei shook her head: "It's not what you said..." Although she couldn't explain it clearly, she could understand Gu Yunzhi's mood, probably the same as Zhuo Qing's, right? The two men who had fought in the war didn't want to be trapped in the bloody battlefield again. Thinking of this, He Wei couldn't help but want to persuade him: "Gu Lei, the harm caused by war is far greater than the gains it can bring. If the people of your country have any difficulties, you can ask us for help, you don't have to-"
"Tsk tsk tsk, you haven't even married yet, but you already speak like a princess?" Gu Lei glanced at He Wei with contempt, and rubbed her hand with his slender hand. His dark red eyes were tinged with aggression. "However, you still have a chance to reconsider now. Do you want to be the wife of Zhuo Fei, or... choose to be my woman? Don't forget that the Zhuo family has two princes, and it's still uncertain who will become the future king. But if you marry me, you will immediately become the new queen of the Ice Dragon Kingdom."
He Wei couldn't help but pull out her hand and slap him hard on the face. She was so angry that her teeth were itching: "Dream on! I will never marry you even if I die!"
Gu Lei just stretched out his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, then turned to look at her: "... Not marrying? Actually, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I don't want some boring love. What I want... is your body."
Hearing this, He Wei couldn't help but be surprised and nervous and wanted to step back, but it was too late. Gu Lei rushed over at an incredibly fast speed and pressed her under him. His eyes narrowed dangerously, and he stretched out his hand to linger on He Wei's face: "Your distant aunt told me that you are the descendant of the Dragon God. Of course I have to make good use of you! So... help me give birth to a few more children with strong fighting power."
He Wei was firmly controlled by Gu Lei in the small space on the back seat of the car. She bit her lip and said, "Let me out of the car now, or you will bear the consequences yourself."
"Tsk... What? Are you going to bite me?" Gu Lei ignored He Wei's weak struggle. He slapped away her blocking hands and continued to tear her clothes.
He Wei couldn't help but narrow her eyes: "I warned you. By the way, you probably don't know yet? I have learned how to transform now."
The hand that was reaching for her evening dress suddenly froze in mid-air. Gu Lei frowned and looked at her with suspicion: "You can't possibly -"
But before he could finish his words, He Wei's body glowed with a faint red light. In just a moment, a giant dragon broke through the small restraint of the car, soared into the night sky, and pinched Gu Lei fiercely in the palm of its hand. It slowly approached the Ice Dragon Prince, whose face was full of disbelief: "I told you to let me off the car, but you didn't listen. Believe it or not, I will slap you to death with one claw now!"
Gu Lei knew that He Wei had transformed twice before, but he thought that she was a mute dragon before and had not mastered the trick of transformation, so she should not be able to learn to transform freely in such a short time... But he did not expect things to turn out like this!
"I will take you back to the palace now, and you must repeat to everyone what you just said to me! Also! Where is your father? Tell me where he is, I want to save him!" The Red Dragon pinched Gu Lei like a rag doll that had no power to resist.
After a brief panic, Gu Lei raised the corners of his lips again: "What if I don't want to, are you planning to kill me, future prince consort?"
He Wei was stunned for a moment. Gu Lei was a prince of a country after all. How could she make him admit his conspiracy if she just caught him like this without any evidence? While the red dragon was thinking, Gu Lei's eyes darkened, and he broke free from the claws of the giant dragon while it was not paying attention. He turned into a plesiosaur in mid-air, cut his arm without hesitation, and sprayed poisonous blood into the red dragon's eyes.
But at the moment when the poisonous blood spurted towards the red dragon, a deafening dragon roar suddenly came from the corner, and a huge Tyrannosaurus Rex suddenly knocked the red dragon out. The poisonous blood passed by the sides of the two dinosaurs and spilled on the ground, immediately corroding several holes in the ground .
The red dragon looked at the Tyrannosaurus Rex holding him in surprise: "Zhuo Fei..."
"Are you okay? Did any water spill on you? Does it hurt anywhere?" The Tyrannosaurus Rex anxiously grabbed the Red Dragon's soft waist and asked anxiously.
The red dragon shook his head: "It's okay!" He saw the plesiosaur about to turn around and leave, and hurriedly said: "Gu Lei! Don't let him escape! He poisoned and killed his father himself!"
Zhuo Fei grabbed her and stopped her from chasing him: "He can't come alone. There must be an ambush. Don't chase him."
"But...but if that's the case...then won't we...won't we go to war?"
The Tyrannosaurus nodded , but there was no fear in his eyes: "That is something he has been planning for a long time. No matter how hard we try to avoid it, it will be useless. Why not just fight him openly?"
The red dragon turned around and looked at the Plesiosaur that had already run away. Then, as if exhausted, it wrapped its body around the Tyrannosaurus Rex: "Great, you're here... I... I was worried that I would never see you again..."
The Tyrannosaurus Rex gently stroked its soft waist and said firmly, "What nonsense! You are my woman! If anyone dares to move, I will twist their heads off!"
It was already early morning when the two returned to the palace.
Yang Xue had been anxiously waiting in the hall. When she saw Zhuo Fei carrying He Wei in, she immediately rushed over and asked with concern, "How is Xiao Wei? Is she hurt? Did those people abuse her?"
Zhuo Fei shook his head, but his tone was very light: "It's okay, Mom, she's asleep, I'll take her back to the palace to rest first."
Yang Xue nodded: "Okay. Oh, and your father is waiting for you in the study."
"...Okay, I'll go right away." Zhuo Fei paused before replying. He carried He Wei back to the bedroom, gently put her on the big bed and covered her with a quilt, and then touched her face. Then he turned and walked towards his father's study.
Zhuo Fei had already made all the mental preparations. He knew that today when he rushed out and had a direct conflict with Gu Lei, it was equivalent to blowing the horn of war. His father would certainly be furious with him because of this matter, but Zhuo Fei did not regret it at all, and did not think that he had done anything wrong. He pushed open the door of the study without flinching, ready to face his father's roar. But when he stepped into the study, he saw Zhuo Qing standing in front of the world map and observing. Seeing him come in, he asked: "If I let you lead the troops to fight the first battle with the Ice Dragon Kingdom, what strategies would you adopt?"
Zhuo Fei was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood: "Are you ready to fight the Ice Dragon Nation?"
Zhuo Qing sighed softly, "What else?" He looked up at him again, his eyes tinged with sincerity and apology, "Son, you are right today. I thought the reality was too good. It seems that this battle must be fought. In this case, why don't we take the initiative and gain an advantage."
His father's words unconsciously revealed a trace of old age and fatigue. Zhuo Fei seemed to have noticed only at this moment that the golden hair on his father's temples, who was usually dignified and brave, had turned silver-white without him noticing...
"Dad..." Zhuo Fei couldn't help but feel distressed and lowered his head, "It's my fault, I... I shouldn't have spoken to you like that today, I'm sorry."
Zhuo Qing laughed, walked over and patted his shoulder: "Alright, silly boy, when did you start apologizing to me? I know you are worried about Xiao Wei. If your mother was taken away by someone, I would also risk my life to save her."
Zhuo Fei was somewhat moved. He lowered his head and choked for a while before asking, "So now...what do you mean?"
"I mean, I want you to lead the troops to fight this time." Zhuo Qing stared at his outstanding son seriously and asked bluntly, "Zhuo Fei, tell Dad the truth, do you really want to be king in the future?"
Late at night, on the wide bed, He Wei slowly opened her eyes.
Perhaps what she had just experienced was too thrilling, so she did not sleep well. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the familiar scenery around her. It seemed that she was taken back to Zhuo Fei's palace to rest .
But it was already so late? Why hadn't he come back?
He Wei couldn't help but sit up from the bed. Just when she was about to get out of bed to find out what was going on, the door of the bedroom was opened.
