Chapter 3 Picking up a dragon egg
Gu Bei walked to the door, and when he saw a large area of black palace guards, his brows jumped, and he didn't know that he thought he was here to arrest him.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said."
When the great eunuch Cao Sanhe saw Gu Bei coming out, he didn't talk nonsense, and directly began to read the holy decree.
"Recently, a divine dragon has descended outside the thorny city of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, this is an auspicious rain from the sky, protecting the Holy Dragon Country, which is really the blessing of the Holy Dragon Country and the blessing of the people."
"The sixth prince Gu Ze, the guardian dragon has merit, and he has given five thousand taels of gold, one thousand silks, ten boxes of pearls, and ten boxes of various treasures......"
After Cao Sanhe finished reading it, he put the holy decree together, held it with both hands, and said to Gu Bei with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, accept the decree." ”
"Son's command, thank you."
Gu Bei got up and took the holy decree in his hand, but he knew very well in his heart that what the guardian dragon had merit was all fake, just to reward something and transport the dragon corpse away in a good name.
However, the reward is too little, Gu Bei secretly complained in his heart, a divine dragon is worth such a thing?
Still, he had a smile on his face and pretended to be happy.
Boxes of rewards were carried up, placed in several rows, and placed in front of Gu Bei, hearing that it was one thing, and when he really saw so many things, Gu Bei was still a little shocked in his heart.
I was poor and scared in my last life, but I can finally be a rich man in this life?
Thinking of this, the smile on Gu Bei's face was a lot more sincere.
After announcing the decree and handing over the reward, the great eunuch Cao Sanhe did not leave immediately.
"Your Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, the emperor's intention is to bring the dragon back to the national capital in its entirety, I heard that His Royal Highness still has some auspicious things stained with dragon blood here? Then please take it out together, and our family can take it back to give an explanation to the emperor. ”
Gu Bei's face froze, and sure enough, he still didn't escape this catastrophe.
"There is indeed such a thing, the fight outside is too fierce, I am afraid that these auspicious rui will be contaminated by mortal blood, so I will take it back in advance, and wait for my father to send someone to come and retrieve it."
I have to say that Gu Bei's cheekiness and adaptability are very strong, so if he goes against his will, he can say it without blushing and heartbeat.
"Butler, go and invite Xiangrui out completely, and let Gonggong Cao send him back to his father."
"No need! Xiangrui is precious, let's come by ourselves. ”
After speaking, Cao Sanhe led people into the City Lord's Mansion where Gu Bei lived, and took away all the stones and soil stained with dragon blood, and even asked the masters around him to probe with their divine senses to make sure that nothing was missed.
"The matter is urgent, so I won't bother His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince anymore."
The great eunuch left immediately with the people, and it didn't take long for the flying boat outside the city to set sail again, speeding up to Xihai City, and returning to the national capital with the other flying ships by borrowing a large cross-domain teleportation array.
After Cao Sanhe left, Gu Bei was very calm on the surface, but he felt very aggrieved in his heart, this feeling of being at the mercy of others was really terrible.
But he didn't say a word, and after locking all the bounty into his private treasury, he silently thought about how to change the situation.
It's useless to complain about others, and it's the right way to work hard to change the predicament.
……
The next day, early in the morning, Gu Bei led people to the outside of Thorn City.
The place where the dragon corpse fell to the ground has turned into a large pit, and there is nothing left except corpses all over the ground.
Last night, there were many strong people wandering around this big pit all night, unwilling to find some treasures related to the dragon, dragon scales or something.
Unfortunately, they didn't find anything, and after dawn, these strong men had no choice but to leave.
"It's finally clean."
Gu Bei walked to a relatively clean section of the river, sat on a stone, and there was a torrential rain when the dragon corpse fell to the ground, so the dry river had a flow again, which was also an unexpected joy.
He sat for a while, and suddenly, he felt the black beads on his neck heat slightly.
At the same time, Gu Bei vaguely seemed to hear an immature dragon groan, and also felt a strange guidance.
Is there any treasure?
Gu Bei knew that the black bead pendant around his neck should be a kind of treasure, and it wouldn't get hot for no reason.
He involuntarily followed the direction he had been guided until he came to a sparse forest about three hundred feet away from where the dragon corpse had fallen.
"What's wrong with Your Highness?"
The housekeeper Lao Lu followed Gu Bei's side step by step, and he was conscientious to this master.
"You just wait for me outside, I'll go in and find something, no one can come in without my permission."
Gu Bei had a hunch that he would encounter something terrible today.
The housekeeper and the guards stayed outside, and Gu Bei continued to look inside.
Eventually, he walked into a low-lying dirt pit, which was overgrown with weeds, and he couldn't tell that there was another pit without looking closely.
Gu Bei picked up the weeds, and saw that there was an oval-shaped "stone" inside, which was gray and not slippery, and the performance was not very smooth, with potholes.
"That's it!"
With excitement, Gu Bei followed the guidance of the black bead pendant and placed his palm on the stone.
A magical scene appeared, and a strange golden pattern appeared on this oval-shaped stone.
"Roar!"
Gu Bei heard the immature dragon groan explode in his mind again, it was deafening.
Gu Bei let go of his hand in disbelief, the golden lines on the oval stone disappeared, and the dragon's groan also disappeared, turning into an inconspicuous stone again.
He put his hand on it again, and sure enough, he heard the childish dragon's groan again, and saw the golden lines on the stone.
"Could it be that this is a dragon egg?"
Gu Bei's mood became excited, how many people's dreams are to have a dragon? And now, that dream seems within reach.
Calm down, you must be calm, this kind of thing must not be discovered, especially in the recent period, there are too many eyes staring at Thorn City.
Gu Bei thought calmly for a moment, and then called the housekeeper and guards outside the forest in.
"Guys, carry this, this, and these stones back."
Gu Bei chose a few stones with slightly strange shapes and asked the servants to carry them back.
"Huh? Your Highness, this kind of stone is everywhere, what's the use of carrying it back? "The guards weren't too happy to carry a few ordinary rocks that far.
The housekeeper Lao Lu's eyes widened, and he said, "Let you carry it, where is there so much nonsense?" ”
Under the housekeeper's angry scolding, the guards had no choice but to follow Gu Bei's instructions, carry the stones, and walk back with a bitter face.
One of the stones was the dragon egg that Gu Bei found, but as Gu Bei guessed, in the hands of others, it did not show anything special, and it looked like an ordinary stone.
Gu Bei guessed that this was probably related to the fact that he drank dragon blood, and his body was contaminated with the breath of that divine dragon, otherwise how could he feel this dragon egg from afar?
After returning to Thorn City, Gu Bei's move of picking up stones outside the city attracted a lot of discussion among the people in the city, and everyone was speculating about what this six princes wanted to do without learning and skills.
There were even some strong people who were unwilling to leave, and after scanning those stones one by one with their divine sense, and finding nothing abnormal, they stopped paying attention in disappointment.
After returning to the mansion, Gu Bei ordered the servants to move the stones to his room, fetched a few buckets of water, wiped all the stones clean, and declared that he was interested in strange stones.
As soon as this news came out, the people of Thorn City looked like they were really like this, and secretly scolded the six princes for not learning and not knowing, ignoring government affairs, and engaging in such messy things all day long.
There are also some people who ridiculed the vision of the six princes, those few broken stones, can they also be called strange stones?
Gu Bei didn't care about the rumors in the outside world, he only cared about the dragon egg he picked up and how to hatch it.
What Gu Bei didn't expect was that on the third day when the dragon egg was brought back, the eggshell actually cracked by itself!
"Click......"
At night, Gu Bei was sleeping when he suddenly heard the sound of eggshells cracking.
He hurriedly got up, only to see that the whole room was lit up with a faint golden light.
I saw that golden veins appeared on the dragon egg again, and cracks continued to spread along these veins.
"Click!"
Finally, a piece of eggshell came off, and a little golden paw stretched out, chubby, and very cute.
Immediately afterwards, one after another eggshells fell off, and a chubby golden young dragon, with half an eggshell on its head, appeared in front of Gu Bei, looking at the world with a pair of round, sapphire-like eyes.
"It's so cute!"
Gu Bei couldn't help but stroke the head of the golden young dragon.
The golden young dragon tilted his head to look at Gu Bei, and then staggered to his side and rubbed his leg affectionately.
It looked like it was a cub of a western dragon, but the scales on its body were exactly the same as the scales of the dragon corpse that Gu Bei had seen before!
