Chapter 34: The Tree of Heaven and Dragon Fortune

"This is my companion in the mercenary team." He Tiandou's thoughts changed and he slid out his lies.

The guard had no choice but to nod and let the two of them in.

The palace is very large, with countless courtyards, and the palace is deep like a sea. Fortunately, an inner palace guard took over and led the way in front of He Tiandou. In this way, after walking for about half an hour, they came to the front of a palace.

The palace is painted pink and has a plaque with three words "Frost Cold Pavilion" written on it!

"Please wait here, I will report to His Highness the Princess!" After saying that, the guard ran into it.

Five seconds later, he came out, but his expression was a little weird: "Your Highness the Princess invites you in."

Seeing his strange expression, He Tiandou didn't say anything, but his heart moved slightly. He pointed at him and signaled that Wanwan would stay where he was, went alone and pushed the door open.

As soon as he opened the door, He Tiandou smelled a smell like sandalwood. This smell was used to calm the hearts of the people. But in the next moment, He Tiandou felt danger and his hair exploded like a hedgehog.

"Wow--" I could only hear a sound of water flowing from top to bottom. He Tiandou's heart tightened slightly, and his toes tiptoed, and his body immediately jumped backward like an arch bridge.

Look again, it turns out that there is a "mechanism" on the door. If He Tiandou is not prepared, then he might have been poured into a chicken that falls into a soup at this time.

"My little brother, don't make a fuss!" A nice voice came from the Shuang Leng Pavilion, as if he was scolding something. Then, after the blame, he said in a true voice: "I just didn't understand my little brother, please forgive me!"

What else can I say after all apologizing? He Tiandou smiled bitterly in his heart and had to walk into Shuangleng Pavilion again.

As soon as he walked into the Frost Leng Pavilion, what caught his eye was a woman sitting in front of him. The woman was about twenty-three or four years old, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with her skin as gentle as jade, and her eyebrows and eyes were as clear as ice and snow. She just had a cold face, and was elegant and luxurious, with a dignified look that made people respect her and dared not look at her.

In just a moment, He Tiandou understood why this place was called "Shuang Leng Pavilion". If he guessed correctly, this woman was the princess of Yanwu Kingdom, and she was also one of the princess's palaces.

"He Tiandou, I have seen His Highness the Princess!" He Tiandou bowed and glanced slightly in his eyes. Then he found that there was a seven or eight-year-old child next to the princess, with red lips and white teeth, and his big black eyes that were clever.

"He must have done the prank just now!"

In just a few seconds, relying on a few subtle clues, He Tiandou keenly sorted out several things in his mind.

"This is my little brother!" she introduced coldly.

Although He Tiandou was unwilling to do so, he had to salute again: "I have met His Highness the Prince."

"I heard that you have taken over our mission in the Mercenary Guild. According to our investigation, you seem to be just a junior mercenary, right? So I am a little doubtful, are you really capable of completing this mission?" The princess is quite realistic. She just introduced each other and then went straight to the point.

He Tiandou could hear a contemptuous tone from her words, but he was not annoyed, but just smiled confidently: "I believe that while the princess was investigating, I also knew that I had passed the mission test of the Mercenary Guild? Since the princess is willing to believe in the Mercenary Guild, why can't I believe that I have passed the guild test? What's more, no matter how brave I am, I will not make fun of my head."

"Experience? Yes, haha, not bad, not bad... You passed my test, too." The child next to him suddenly shook his head and said proudly as a little adult.

He Tiandou laughed.

At the same time, a trace of doting appeared in the princess' eyes and she nodded slightly.

Without further conversation, the princess took He Tiandou and others to the "Forbidden Land of the Palace" where the mission was located.

Seeing Wanwan, she didn't say anything, but just looked at He Tiandou thoughtfully.

He Tiandou was also happy. He was most afraid of trouble. If there was no trouble, not to mention a glance, he thought that the princess wanted to see the long needle hole, so he was very happy.

The "Forbidden Land of the Palace" is the most strictly guarded place in the Yandu Palace. According to the rules passed down by ancestors, unless the king nods his head and takes it in person, otherwise, even the queen and the princess should not enter without permission. At the least, it can be broken into the limbs, and at the worst it can be sentenced to death. He Tiandou heard from Mr. Hua that a princess once was executed by the king himself for accidentally breaking into the forbidden land, so it is conceivable how terrible this is.

Outside the palace, almost everyone has heard that this place is as terrifying as hell, but He Tiandou, who came here, does not think so. Instead, he thinks it is a fairyland on earth. That’s right! This is a garden covering an area of ​​hundreds of acres. In the garden, countless flowers compete for beauty and are all in the lead. It’s really beautiful!

"No wonder the queen accidentally entered the scene. I'm afraid that any woman would want to come in and take a look when she saw such a beautiful garden!" Seeing this, He Tiandou thought.

The most special thing about all plants is a towering purple tree in the center of the garden.

The giant tree is about a hundred meters high and goes straight into the sky. Not to mention the main trunk, but the branches are so big that it may be difficult for a person to embrace it.

"Qiulong Tree?" He Tiandou just glanced at it and this name came to his mind. However, if you look closely, this tree does not look like a Qiulong Tree, because the bark pattern of the Qiulong Tree is very ordinary, but the bark pattern of this tree is like black dragons swimming on the branches, spreading all over the tree. In addition, the tree also blooms a purple halo, which seems to cover the inside, forming another small world.

"This tree is so high that it can reach the sky! There are also magical dragon patterns swimming on the tree... Could it be that this is the tree that inherits the fortune of the dragon?" He Tiandou touched his chin and thought while looking.

"Lan Ling, good daughter, you are here! Hahaha..." Suddenly, an old, but full of breath came from a distance, interrupting He Tiandou's thinking. Then, He Tiandou saw a middle-aged man dressed in noble clothes and a big belly walking slowly.

Behind him was another middle-aged man. This man was wearing official uniforms, brocade clothes and jade. The dressing alone showed his high position and power, but even so, he could only follow him with a humble and servile manner like a slave.

Although the middle-aged man in the lead looks ordinary and dresses casually, he has a slight lack of the appearance of the man behind him, in every move, a kind of Wang family style is revealed.

"Is this the king?" He Tiandou secretly guessed, and immediately bowed slightly and said, "He Tiandou, a grass-roots man, has seen His Majesty the King!"

"Li Wanwan, the grass man, has seen His Majesty the King..." Li Wanwan bowed as he imitated He Tiandou.

This is He Tiandou's attitude, which means he never takes any royal power seriously, but this action has caused unhappiness in others' hearts.

But the king didn't say anything, but a fat minister next to him spoke and angrily scolded: "Bold, when you see His Majesty the King, you are so disrespectful, and you can't kneel down and bow down?"

He heard this, He Tiandou's expression was still calm, but Li Wanwan seemed a little nervous, her heels trembled and were about to kneel down.

But He Tiandou grabbed her and sneered: "Respect is kept in your heart, not in your mouth!"

When the minister heard this, he was furious and ready to speak, but the king waved his hand to stop him. He had to retreat and bow his head unwillingly.

"Forget it, I'm not going to give you a gift!" The king shouted, and while talking, he stared at He Tiandou with interest: "Are you the one who took over the Mercenary Guild mission yesterday?"

"Yes!" He Tiandou said in a humble and arrogant manner.

"Well, young man, you are very brave! But you are brave, don't be too hard if you are lucky! I guess you have nine people who have taken on the mission before, you know this?" the king praised, but at the end of his speech, his tone became solemn, full of threat.

When Li Wanwan heard this, she was so scared that she immediately fell to the ground regardless of He Tiandou's pull.

He Tiandou laughed: "The grass people know! But since the grass people are here, you have certain confidence. Just let the grass people take a closer look..."

"Sure?" the king said with a smile: "How many times is that?"

"Ninety percent!" He Tiandou said seriously.

"What about 10%? Okay, then you go and have a look!" The king wanted to say something, but seemed to think of something, and waved his hand casually, as if he was indifferent to signaling He Tiandou to see the tree of Chengtian Dragon Fortune.

He Tiandou nodded and turned to the tree of Chengtian Dragon Fortune. However, he knew that when he turned around, the eyes of the king, prince and princess all showed a look of looking at the dead and feeling sorry for him...

Li Wanwan clearly saw that her face changed drastically at the moment.

Walking slowly, He Tiandou observed the giant creature with his naked eyes - the tree of the dragon fortune.

As he got closer and closer, He Tiandou was trying to walk under the tree. He saw at the closest distance whether the tree had some disease or pests, and then took action. But at this moment, something terrifying happened. When he approached the Chengtian Dragon Fortune Tree, he could not move forward any further, as if there was an invisible wall in front of him blocking him.

Gripping his teeth, he lifted the power of the five cows under his feet. He Tiandou wanted to force approach with brute force, but the wall in front of him immediately seemed to have turned into a huge peak, and was still powerless to shake it.

The scoundrel shakes the tree...

Thinking of this, thinking about the consequences of the failure of the mission, He Tiandou's heart suddenly became tight. He finally understood why the king showed a strange expression that seemed to be smiling just now.

Longevity is in a good mood today.

Because he would be the first outsider to enter the forbidden area of ​​the palace under the permission of the king.

What about the forbidden area of ​​the palace? Even the queen can't get in, but today, I can get in.

He believed that this was an honor, and at the same time, it was also a hint that the king had taken himself as his confidant.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel proud, with a spring breeze on his face.

That's it, so that when he entered the forbidden area of ​​the palace, he was a little proud. He snatched He Tiandou in front of the king and scolded him for not being polite.

When he first scolded, he felt very happy, but it was not until after scolding that at the first moment that he realized that he seemed to be a little overwhelming. He was so worried that he was sweating coldly on his forehead.

Fortunately, the king did not care about him and waived the young man's courtesy.

After escaping a disaster, Changshou felt secretly glad in his heart, but then he hated the young man again and did not take his words seriously.

Of course, he had to take revenge, so when He Tiandou could not get close to the tree of Chengtian Dragon Fortune, he knew that it was time for him to roar and bite, so he immediately walked out and spoke.

"Your Majesty the King, I see that this young man cannot complete the task at all, and it has obviously wasted your time. Otherwise, let me ask someone to pull him out and chop him up?" Changshouhou lowered his head and walked to His Majesty the King and bent over to ask for instructions.

While asking for instructions, a trace of sinister smiled at the corner of his mouth. He thought that the mercenary was so incompetent that he had delayed the king's time. Now, the kid was going to die. But an unexpected thing happened. The king just said "Wait and talk" expressionlessly, and then said nothing more.

Changshouhou was stunned and turned around and then realized that the princess and her younger brother were the same at this time, with no strange expression on her face, as if it was commonplace.
