The old Duke's eyes lit up a lot, and he looked at Chu Zhinan: "We don't have a zoo at home, why don't we convert the Peach Blossom Garden into a zoo?"
The old lady had no objection: "Sure! After it's built, we'll assign someone to look after it, so we don't have to worry about wild animals hurting people."
[Aha! What a good idea! I will rescue all the beasts from the animal training halls that Prince Duan has and keep them in our home. Don't worry! The beasts I train are guaranteed to be gentle and not ferocious at all.]
Chu Zhinan felt like he was hallucinating. How could a beast not be ferocious? His daughter was only a little over a week old, and he had to train a beast?
Isn’t this too scary?
No, what did she just say? The zoo was founded by Prince Duan?
Prince Duan is really capable. He actually created a training center for animals? What does he want to do? Collect intelligence?
Yang immediately agreed: "Okay, my daughter-in-law will have someone rebuild it right away."
Taohua Garden used to be Liu Yiyi's residence. It has been empty since she was kicked out of the mansion. It would be best to convert it into a zoo to give my daughter a place to have fun.
[Aha! Is there going to be a zoo soon? Once it's built, let the tigers live there first, and then get all the animals from Prince Duan's zoo. We can open a zoo, let people buy tickets to watch, and make a fortune every day.]
“Hahaha! Hahaha!…”
The old Duke was amused by his granddaughter's thoughts. He felt that his granddaughter really had a talent for business. Was she planning to take Prince Duan's beast for herself?
The old lady laughed and continued what the old lady said: "If we can build a zoo and raise some rare animals, I'm sure people will be happy to come and see them."
Chu Zhinan: “…”
How did we end up talking about business? We are a family of military commanders.
Yang looked at her daughter and said, "The old lady has a good idea. We can let the second son do this. When the time comes, we can separate the zoo from the Duke of Huguo's mansion and open a gate on the other side of the wall. It will be a good source of income."
The little boy's eyes sparkled and his eyebrows were curved in a grin.
[Yes, yes! Bring all the animals from the zoo here, we can make a lot of money without any investment, roo! Great, this is a great idea that I came up with.]
A huge profit without any investment? Chu Zhinan was infected by his daughter's lively smile and smiled as well. His Xiaoxiao! How dare she say that.
Prince Duan dares to get any ferocious beast he wants, showing the demeanor of a military commander.
The old Duke narrowed his eyes slightly. It was not bad to have Prince Duan's animal training hall become his own home. That bastard had been trying to kill them in various ways. It was time for him to have a taste of being killed bit by bit.
The family had just finished breakfast when the Rongguo Mansion sent someone to pick up Yang, saying that Rongguo Yang Heng, the Duke who had gone to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief, had returned.
Yang was very happy to hear that. She was delighted that her brother had returned safely.
The old duke and the old lady were also happy for the Rong Duke's Mansion. As they were all relatives, they naturally hoped that the Yang family would be safe and sound.
Chu Zhinan took Yang and Chu Xiaoxiao to the Rongguo Mansion, and Yang Heng greeted them at the gate.
When he saw his niece, he quickly hugged her and kissed her again and again.
"Xiaoxiao! Uncle was able to return safely thanks to the talisman you gave me. Otherwise, it would have been terrible and he would have died in the river. That river monster is very powerful. Not only can it stir up wind and waves, but it can also shatter a boat with a flick of its tail."
Chu Xiaoxiao felt a little itchy from Yang Heng's beard and laughed "chuckle".
The chubby cheeks, the baby chubby chin, and the slightly trembling smile are particularly attractive. Just looking at her makes me want to pinch her.
[The river monster is a herring spirit. It kills too many people and cannot ascend to heaven. It can only stir up trouble in the river and bring disaster to the people.]
Yang and Chu Zhinan looked at each other without saying anything. They were both happy for Yang Heng. If it weren't for the talisman given by his daughter, he might have died in Jiangnan this time and become a meal for the river monster.
A black carp spirit? Yang Heng thought about the scene of seeing the river monster and felt a little confused.
The river monster was extremely ugly, its eyes were as big as human fists, and its scales stood up like sharp blades.
The huge mouth opened and closed, and in an instant the wind and rain arose. It opened its mouth and bit, and with a click, half of the ship went into its mouth.
Yang Heng was terrified at the time, his face turned pale, and he thought that he would surely die today and be eaten by a fish.
Seeing the river monster's mouth biting towards their boat, suddenly a white light shot out from his heart and hit one of the river monster's eyes accurately.
He saw it with his own eyes at that time: the river monster had an injured eye, was bleeding profusely, was in unbearable pain, and was rolling in the river.
At this moment, a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm fell from the sky.
boom!
The lightning struck the river monster directly, breaking its huge body into two, one half sank to the bottom of the water, and the other half roared and howled.
The white light on his chest flashed again and hit the other eye of the river monster. The river monster wailed continuously and ran around in the river like a blind man.
Everyone rowed the boat out of the whirlpool created by the river monster and escaped.
When he returned to the shore, he reached out to take out the talisman given by his niece and found that it had turned into a handful of ashes.
He knew that it was his niece who saved him. If the white light from the talisman had not hit the river monster's eyes and lightning had not struck from the sky, the river monster would not have died so quickly.
The ones who should have died were him, his men, and the boatman.
This time, because there was sufficient disaster relief silver and the people took sufficient preventive measures, no plague was caused.
The people in several counties in the south of the Yangtze River that were affected by the disaster strictly followed his suggestion, did not drink raw water, frequently spread quicklime, and dug pits to bury animal carcasses. They all survived the disaster safely.
When he came back, many people spontaneously organized to see him off and expressed their high appreciation for his efforts.
He knew in his heart that this was the result of hearing his niece's thoughts in advance. If he hadn't known it in advance, he wouldn't have been able to get away with it.
"What happened to that thing?" Chu Zhinan asked worriedly, "Did it die?"
Yang pricked up her ears and listened, she also wanted to know what happened to that thing.
"It's dead. A thick lightning bolt fell from the sky and hit its body, breaking it in the middle." Yang Heng hugged Chu Xiaoxiao, his face full of gratitude. "The talisman Xiaoxiao gave me sent out two white lights, which hit its eyes. It couldn't be deader."
[Humph! The old man calculated the time to come, right? My talisman must have emitted a magical light first, hitting the river monster's eyes, and the old man noticed it and sent down lightning. ]
Yang Heng was shocked: "......"
How could Niu Tuanzi even know this? This is outrageous. Who is the old man she is talking about?
Turning to look at Chu Zhinan and Yang, he found that they had calm expressions, as if they hadn't heard anything at all. It was estimated that they didn't know the old man's identity either.
"It's good to die. After I die, the people there won't have to suffer anymore." Yang was extremely relieved and smiled.
Chu Zhinan nodded and said, "That's right. If we get rid of that evildoer, no one will suffer anymore. Brother! Have you seen the emperor?"
"Yes, I saw him during the morning court session." Yang Heng teased his niece while talking to Chu Zhinan, "There was enough disaster relief money, and we bought a lot of food to distribute to the victims. There was no plague, and the people in the south of the Yangtze River were all praising the emperor's great grace."
