At the end of the day, Zhang Yangquan and Zhang Yangquan finally lined up and entered the zoo.
The two of them walked along a corridor to the left, and suddenly saw a group of people in front of them, looking around an iron cage.
The two walked over and saw a burly giant beast in a cage, which was a powerful army.
This lion came as a tribute from the Srivijaya Kingdom. It is very large and has a thick mane covering its neck, like a natural helmet.
I don’t know if it was acclimatization, but the lion was lying limply in the cage, looking listless.
Qin Lingjun saw a real lion for the first time and said with a smile: "Why does it look like a sick big cat?"
Zhang Yangquan said: "The climate here is too cold, this lion is used to living in hot places!"
At this time, a big man walked up to the cage where the lion was wading, slapped the iron cage hard, and shouted: "Hey, scream and listen, don't lie still!"
At this moment, the lion jumped up suddenly and rushed towards the man, shouting "ho ho ho" and banging the iron cage with a clang.
The lion's movement was as fast as lightning, and the big man was so frightened that he fell to the ground, his feet staring at the ground.
Some of the onlookers were frightened, while others were laughing at the big man.
Qin Lingjun smiled slightly and said: "So this is the roar of a lion. It is indeed extraordinary. Let's go and see the big cat again!"
Mouse is the ancient name for crocodile. Unlike lions, it is not kept in a cage, but lives in a small pond surrounded by iron fences.
There are also mole fish in the Central Plains, but they are very small in size. The mole fish in the pond is more than ten feet long, and its mouth is as big as a saw tooth, which is extremely scary.
The two of them watched for a while, and saw that the turtle was lying lazily on its belly and snorting in the sun, and then went to look at other beasts.
In less than an hour, the two of them looked at the panther, peacock, elephant and other animals one by one.
After leaving the zoo, the sun was setting and it was almost midnight. The two of them headed back to the military camp together.
Normal training has resumed in the military camp, and the soldiers trained particularly vigorously today!
Today is the penultimate day of training.
The day after tomorrow is the end of the year, so Zhang Yangquan gave the soldiers three and a half days off, from the afternoon of the end of the year to the third day of the new year.
So today is also the last full day of training for the soldiers.
In a certain camp, Fu Youde completed a day's training and heard the sound of dusk drums, so he dismissed the team and returned to his camp.
As soon as he returned to the tent, a sergeant came over and said that the king had summoned him.
Fu Youde hurried to the handsome tent and found that the princess was also in the tent. He cupped his hands and said: "Fu Youde pays homage to the king and pays homage to the princess."
After Zhang Yangquan sat down at the case, he raised his head and asked: "General Fu, do you know Kang Maocai?"
Fu Youde was stunned for a moment and said: "Are you talking about the former naval marshal from Jiqing?"
"That's him!"
Fu Youde said: "The general only knows this person, but has never spoken to him." He glanced at Qin Lingjun and said, "The general heard that he was expelled from the military camp because of General Liang's case."
Zhang Yangquan nodded and said: "This person will come to you tonight, hoping to gain your favor, and then re-enter the Jiangdu Army through you!"
Fu Youde was shocked and wondered: "The general is not familiar with this person, why would he come to me?"
Zhang Yangquan smiled and said: "Kang Maocai can also play Cuju."
Fu Youde said angrily: "If this person thinks that if he can play Cuju, the general will help him, that would be ridiculous!"
Zhang Yangquan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I asked you to come here because I hope you will pretend to appreciate him and help him return to the military camp. In addition, you must not act too deliberately to arouse his suspicion!"
Fu Youde hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, can I ask the reason?"
Zhang Yangquan said: "It's very simple. This person was originally a special agent of Tianwan Army. Because of Liang Rong's incident, he was kicked out of the military camp..."
Let’s talk about Kang Maocai’s situation in detail.
Fu Youde's eyes flashed and he said: "The king wants to use his status as a craftsman to help us pass some news to Chen Youliang?"
Zhang Yangquan said: "Exactly."
Fu Youde said loudly: "The general will know what to do!"
Fu Mansion is one of the few general mansions that is not located on Liyuan Street.
The mansion is located among the mansions on Zhenwu Street. The mansion was not a public residence given by Zhang Yangquan, but Fu Youde's father-in-law, Mr. Cheng, spent a huge sum of money to buy it.
The Cheng family was originally a wealthy man in Zaozhuang, and his wife was the apple of the Cheng family's eye. After Fu Youde got married, he was often annoyed by the Cheng family.
It was also at that time that he fell in love with Cuju. He only had a smile on his face when he was playing football and tried to avoid the Cheng family.
However, the Cheng family not only refused to restrain themselves, but also intensified their behavior. Even the neighbors sarcastically said that he was a loser behind his back.
Fu Youde couldn't bear it anymore, so he ran away in anger.
Although Mrs. Cheng has a sweet and unruly temperament, she is very affectionate towards Fu Youde. After he left, she sent people everywhere to inquire about him.
As soon as she found out that Fu Youde was a junior officer in the Northern Army, she wanted to find him, but Mr. Cheng disagreed and felt it was embarrassing.
It wasn't until Fu Youde rose to prominence in the Jiangdu Army that Mr. Cheng finally agreed to come to Jiangdu Mansion to find her husband.
Under Li Er's persuasion, the couple reunited.
When the master of the Cheng family saw that his uncle was prospering in the Jiangdu Army, he changed his bride-in-law to a daughter-in-law, and spent money to buy a mansion as a dowry.
In recent years, the Jiangdu Army has become more and more powerful, and Fu Youde's official position has also risen. After the Battle of Huizhou, he was even named a marshal.
The attitudes of the entire Cheng family changed from disgust to flattery, and Mr. Cheng also began to slowly transfer the family business from Zaozhuang to Jiangdu Prefecture.
Two days ago, the eldest young master of the Cheng family also came to Jiangdu Mansion and stayed in Fu Mansion.
When Fu Youde came home, he happened to hear his brother-in-law complaining loudly.
"Sister, you always say how nice Jiangdu Prefecture is, but just a few days after I came to Jiangdu Prefecture, first I lost a pearl on my hat, and then today I lost my fan pendant. I'm so angry!"
"Then who can be blamed? Why did you expose your property? This is not Zaozhuang. Others don't recognize Young Master Cheng. You should be careful in the future!"
"Hmph! It was my first time here, so others didn't recognize me. When I stay in Jiangdu Mansion for a while and surpass Cai Heng and Zeng Qianli, everyone will know how rich our Zaozhuang Cheng family is!"

"Don't be crazy. The Cai family and the Zeng family are extremely wealthy in the world. How can our family's financial resources compare with others? I think you will make dad angry to death sooner or later!"
Young Master Cheng was about to retort when he suddenly heard footsteps and Fu Youde strode in.
Mrs. Cheng quickly got up and went to help Fu Youde change clothes.
Young Master Cheng lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
After Fu Youde reunited with his wife, he had a slightly better attitude towards his wife, but he never had a good look towards anyone else, including the Cheng family master.
Young Master Cheng used to bully Fu Youde the most, so now he is most afraid of his brother-in-law's revenge and dare not speak loudly in front of him.
Fu Youde ignored him and asked Cheng, "Are there any guests visiting?"
Mrs. Cheng was stunned for a moment and said: "There is no one today, but there was one yesterday. He said he was from your old department. I asked a few questions and gave him twenty taels of silver to send him away!"
Fu Youde frowned and said, "What's that person's name?"
Mrs. Cheng said: "My surname seems to be Kang!" Seeing Fu Youde frowning, she said cautiously: "Officer, did I do something wrong?"
Fu Youde waved his hand and said: "Nothing, if he comes again..."
Before he finished speaking, the housekeeper hurried to the lobby and whispered: "General, madam, the eldest young master of the Cai family wants to see you, and he has brought someone with him!"
Young Master Cheng said hurriedly: "Is Cai Heng here? He probably came to me for a drink!"
Just get up and go out.
But the housekeeper said: "Master, Mr. Cai is here to see the general!"
Young Master Cheng said oh and said in a low voice: "Then he must be here to see his brother-in-law for business." He returned to the chair and sat down.
Fu Youde said calmly: "Master Cai, please go to the study and wait. I will go there later."
Fu Youde's study room is very tidy. There are not many books. Most of them are military books and maps. There is also a basketball ball in the center of the bookcase.
Kang Maocai stood next to the ball, clenching the fingers of his hands into fists, looking very nervous.
Cai Hengze stood leisurely by the bookcase, holding a book and flipping through it casually.
Suddenly, there was a "squeak" sound, and the study door was pushed open, and Fu Youde strode in.
They both met with the ceremony.
Fu Youde seemed not to have seen Kang Maocai. He only raised his hands to Cai Heng and said, "Master Cai is here. I am sorry for not being able to welcome him from afar."
Cai Heng said with a smile: "Commander Fu is serious. Xiao Ke came here this time because he actually wanted to introduce a friend to Marshal Fu."
Fu Youde then turned his gaze to Kang Maocai, frowned, and said, "Your Excellency seems familiar. Have I seen you somewhere?"
Kang Maocai hurriedly said: "I, Kang Maocai, was one of the generals who returned from Jiqing. I met you in the military camp."
Fu Youde said calmly: "Isn't your Excellency the Marshal of the Navy who was expelled from the military camp?"
Kang Maocai smiled bitterly and said, "It's me."
Fu Youde nodded, did not ask any more questions, and turned to talk to Cai Heng.
Kang Maocai gritted his teeth, picked up the ball from the bookcase, and said, "Marshal Fu, can I play with this ball?"
Fu Youde's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Can you shoot the ball?"
Kang Maocai smiled and said: "I have liked it since I was a child."
As he spoke, he threw the ball into the air, stretched out his feet and bumped it, doing a "moon on his shoulders", his movements were like flowing clouds and flowing water.
Fu Youde was overjoyed, raised his hands and said: "Okay, I didn't expect that Jiangdu Prefecture actually has a ball-ball master like you. It's really eye-opening!"
Seeing his expression, Kang Maocai was secretly excited, and another "Jade Buddha Crown Bead" came.
The whole ball seems to be glued to the head. No matter what movements you make, the ball will not fall off!
