The banks of the Lanchi Lake at Apang Palace.

There is a "rare animal garden" here which is heavily guarded.

This place was built by Ying Zheng several months ago.

There were many rumors about this in the palace. Some said that Ying Zheng raised tigers and lions there, while others said that the legendary unicorns and real dragons were raised there.

But only a few people know that there is a giant egg there.

This egg is looked after by ten people day and night, roasting it over fire or soaking it in water, strictly following the "hatching manual".

After a month of careful care, the eggshell finally loosened today, and something inside it seemed to want to come out.

After discovering a crack on the eggshell, the eunuch in charge of incubating the egg quickly notified Ying Zheng's attendants.

Afterwards, the group of breeders were dismissed one after another.

Everyone waited outside the incubator, quietly discussing what was inside.

Although they had raised them for some time, they actually had no idea what was inside the eggshells.

Just when everyone was full of curiosity, a figure suddenly appeared in their sight.

Everyone saluted quickly.

Ying Zheng ignored them and rushed straight into the incubation room, focusing his attention on the huge reddish-brown egg in the middle.

Several cracks appeared on the surface of the eggshell, the widest of which was almost as wide as a grain of wheat.

He walked forward, stood with his hands behind his back, a look of interest on his face.

Time passes by every second.

The cracks on the eggshell became more and more numerous and wider.

About an incense stick of time later, with a "bang" sound, the eggshell finally cracked.

A half-meter-long flying dragon emerged from it.

Its entire body is covered with red scales, and there are many bone-like protrusions on its back and wings, and its long tail is curled up.

The flying dragon has two claws, and the black claws look particularly sharp.

It has an extremely ferocious appearance, with two horns on its head and a mouth full of sharp teeth.

It seemed like it was extremely hungry, and after waking up it started to eat the eggshells.

It choked because it ate too fast, and couldn't help coughing lightly, then coughed up a ball of fire, which ignited the insulated box next to it.

However, bathed in flames, it felt nothing and continued to gnaw at the eggshell bit by bit.

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up slightly, and he strode forward.

Only then did Feilong see him. It cackled twice, poked its head out of the flames, and rubbed the hand that Ying Zheng extended affectionately.

The burning touch made Ying Zheng feel a little uncomfortable and he frowned subconsciously.

Sensing his emotions, the dragon retracted its head, stared at him and quacked again.

"Haha, it's okay." Ying Zheng smiled and touched its head.

He was quite pleased in his heart: this flame demon was indeed different from ordinary wild beasts. It was so human-like as soon as it was born.

The egg was the one he bought from the tavern.

Because it is the egg of the Flame Demon, it is much more expensive than the other types.

But thinking that an adult Flame Demon could reach over twenty meters in length, Ying Zheng was quite looking forward to it.

Such a huge beast is worthy of being his mount!

In fact, in addition to this flame demon, he also bought two other eggs, one to reward his subordinates Meng Tian and the other to reward Wang Jian.

Needless to say, Meng Tian was one of Ying Zheng's most trusted generals, and was always ordered to lead troops to the north to attack the Huns.

After obtaining those advanced weapons from the earth, Ying Zheng immediately handed them over to Meng Tian to train new recruits.

He made great contributions to the unification of the Qin Dynasty, and even Emperor Ying Zheng was afraid of him at one point.

After all, among the six kingdoms, except Han, all others were destroyed by Wang Jian and his son.

Fortunately, Wang Jian knew when to advance and when to retreat. After the unification of Qin, he submitted his resignation on the grounds that he was too old.

After Ying Zheng pretended to try to persuade him to stay several times, he readily agreed and gave him official titles and noble honors.

But after entering the tavern and seeing the wider world, his mentality changed.

I was too short-sighted in the past. How could the territory of the Qin Dynasty be restricted by these mountains and rivers!

He wanted to expand the territory and make all the mountains and rivers on the earth belong to Qin!

Wang Jian, who once made him wary, was once again valued by him.

After being given a cup of second-generation werewolf fortified wine, Wang Jian, who had become younger that day, entered the palace.

Seeing that Ying Zheng actually gave him such precious immortal wine, Wang Jian was so grateful that he burst into tears and said a lot of words like he would devote himself to the cause until his death.

Wang Jian naturally would not refuse Ying Zheng's invitation to take charge of the army again.

In the past, he was worried that his achievements would overwhelm the emperor and cause trouble, so he retired. But now that Ying Zheng has such a magical wine, how can he be afraid of him? As for the Glencoe egg that was given to him, it was said that it had hatched a few days ago. Wang Jian even wrote a letter to thank him for his grace.

…

After touching the little flame demon in front of him, Ying Zheng immediately let the people who were raising him come in.

Everyone couldn't help but show surprise when they saw the ferocious-looking flying dragon and saw that it was safe and sound while bathing in flames.

Especially when they saw it touching Ying Zheng's arm from time to time, sparks fell on his arm and the back of his hand, but he smiled and didn't care, everyone was even more amazed! The sound of "Long live" echoed in the breeding room.

Looking at everyone's shocked expressions, Ying Zheng waved his hand contentedly.

There were already several red spots on his skin.

Feeling the burning and stinging pain, he cursed in his heart, thinking that this little guy was not so human.

He thought that he should buy some fireman gene wine to avoid being hurt by his own dragon.

After explaining to everyone the key points of raising this flame demon, Ying Zheng turned and left.

After returning to the palace and meeting with several ministers, listening to them talk about the progress of several factories and learning about the exploration and development progress of several gold mines, he finally had some free time.

After drinking a cup of tea and changing into casual clothes, Ying Zheng welcomed the most anticipated moment of the day.

After closing the door of the bedroom and prohibiting anyone from entering, he suddenly disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was already in the tavern.

Greetings came one after another.

In the pub, he is the well-deserved "most popular man".

Because he was the first guest in the tavern, and he was willing to socialize with everyone, and occasionally gave some small gifts from the palace, the other guests had a good relationship with him.

After responding one by one, Ying Zheng walked towards where Huang Yaoshi was.

At this moment, Huang Yaoshi was chatting with Li Yunlong, Yan Chixia and others.

Huang Lao Xie, who is usually serious, smiled more often today.

He was in such a good mood not only because Xiao Yan promised to refine a pill for him that would have the function of condensing the soul and strengthening the body, which would have a high probability of reviving his wife, but also because he had solved the hidden dangers of the Song and Jin countries once and for all.

Peach Blossom Island was recognized by the emperors of both countries as a fairyland, and ordinary people were strictly prohibited from approaching it.

Even a lot of the gold that the two countries had once owed was made up.

All of this naturally originated from the Betty spacecraft that Tony handed over a few days ago.
