Chapter 94: Zhang Xin Gets the Famous Branch of Mirage
When Zhang Sui entered Zhang's house with Fang Xiong holding a water vat, he saw Zhang Xin sitting at the stone table in the outer courtyard, boredly poking the snow rabbit's belly with his finger.
Seeing Zhang Sui and Zhang Sui approaching, Zhang Xin immediately threw away the snow rabbit in his hands and ran towards them.
Seeing that the snow rabbit with drooping ears had escaped from Zhang Xin's clutches, its ears immediately stood up, jumped off the stone table, and ran away without a trace.
Zhang Xin came closer and saw the large water tank Fang Xiong was holding in his hand. He looked around and saw a beautiful big clam inside.
Zhang Xin's eyes shone brightly, she stared at the mirage and asked Zhang Sui happily: "Second brother, have you brought me delicious food again?"
Zhang Sui clearly felt the mirage in the water tank shaking. He smiled and touched Zhang Xin's hair and said: "This is not for you to eat. Ask a few people to clean up your boudoir and clear it out later."
Fang Xiong will put it in your room for you."
After saying that, she signaled Fang Xiong to put the glass water tank on the ground first. Although Zhang Xin didn't understand why she kept this big clam in her room, she obediently asked the maid who served her to do it.
Zhang Sui came to the stone table and sat down, and asked Fang Xiong to pick up the mirage and put it on the stone table. Then he waved to Zhang Xin, called her forward, and said with a smile: "Let me show you what kind of treasure this is!"
After finishing, he knocked on the clam shell and said: "Open the door and meet your new master!"
With a puzzled look on Zhang Xin's face, the mirage slowly opened half of its shell.
Zhang Sui motioned Zhang Xin to look inside. Zhang Xin tilted her head and looked inside the clam shell. When she saw the scene inside, she yelled "Wow".
The mirage was startled and immediately closed the clam shell.
Zhang Xin's eyes were filled with strange light. She turned her head and looked at Zhang Sui and said, "Second brother, did I see it wrong? Why is there a little person in here?"
Zhang Sui chuckled and said, "Your eyes are right, this sea clam has a lot of history."
With that said, he told Zhang Xin about the situation of Mirage, but he did not tell Zhang Xin about the situation of his bloodline.
After hearing this, Zhang Xin's face was full of curiosity. She touched the mirage with her hand and saw that the clam shell was tightly closed. She looked back at Zhang Sui.
Zhang Sui coughed lightly, knocked on the table and said, "What are you afraid of? Say hello to your new master!"
The mirage's clam shell slowly opened a small crack.
Zhang Xin leaned over and took a look inside again, and found that he was really a delicate-looking, well-behaved and timid little man.
This time Zhang Xin did not scream, but said softly: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. What is your name?"
Seeing that her attitude was gentle and not malicious, the little man slowly opened the clam shell wider.
The two stared at each other, and the little man made two "squeaking" sounds from his mouth.
Zhang Xin said happily: "So your name is Zhizhi! My name is Zhang Xin, and I am his sister!"
The little man squeaked twice quickly.
Zhang Xin looked at Zhang Sui in confusion.
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "This little guy doesn't know human language yet, but he can understand what we are saying."
Zhang Xin suddenly realized, smiled and said to Mirage: "So that's it, then I'll call you Zhi Zhi, you can say this anyway. Haha."
The little man shook his head repeatedly and squeaked a few times, looking a little reluctant.
Seeing this, Zhang Sui said: "Since my little sister calls you Zhi Zhi, then you will be Zhi Zhi from now on. Do you understand?"
When the villain heard this, he shrank back and nodded slightly. It seemed that he was still a little afraid of Zhang Sui.
Zhang Xin pushed Zhang Sui's big face aside and said angrily: "Zhizhi is a girl and has nothing to wear. Aren't you ashamed to stare at her like this?"
Zhang Sui was speechless when he heard this. This little man was holding a big bead and covering it tightly. What's there to see?
Zhang Xin's attention was completely attracted by the mirage she named Zhizhi. She held the mirage the size of a basin in her arms and was not afraid of getting her clothes dirty.
Very happy.
When Zhang Sui saw this, he just looked on with a smile and said nothing.
Not long after, the little maid named Xiangyun ran over and told Zhang Xin that a place for a large water tank had been cleared out in the room.
Zhang Xin was introducing various situations at home to Zhizhi. At this time, he was almost introducing the glorious deeds of his second brother. When he saw Xiangyun coming, he quickly called her over to see Zhizhi, just like introducing a newly acquired child.
Just like a baby.
Then Xiangyun had never seen such a strange and cute little person before. He fell in love at the first sight and asked Zhang Xin excitedly to learn about Zhizhi's situation.
Seeing this, Zhang Sui said to Zhang Xin: "Third sister, let Daxiong arrange Zhizhi's residence first. I will have plenty of time to play with her."
Hearing this, Zhang Xin nodded repeatedly and hurriedly said to Fang Xiong: "Nobita, be careful, don't damage Zhizhi's house."
In Zhang Xin's words, the big water tank became Mirage Zhizhi's house.
Fang Xiong patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Third Miss, I will definitely arrange her well."
While they were talking, the voices of Zhang Khot and Fu Yun came from the door. It seemed that Fu Yun had finished handling the affairs in the general camp and returned to Zhang Mansion.
After Zhang Tian and his two men came in, they saw Zhang Sui also coming to Zhang Mansion and said hello.
Just as he was about to say something, the little blue bird on Fu Yun's shoulder suddenly let out a phoenix call, and instantly returned to its green luan appearance, flying to hover above Zhang Xin's head, staring closely at the branches in her hands.
Zhizhi had already closed her clam shell when Qingluan chirped, and was now shivering in Zhang Xin's arms.
Fu Yun also noticed the mirage in Zhang Xin's hand at this time. He didn't recognize it at first and just thought it was a big sea clam. But he soon realized that something was wrong. The sea clam turned out to be a spiritual creature. No wonder Qingluan looked wary.
Before Fu Yun could speak, Zhang Xin said to Qingluan above his head: "Xiao Qingping, don't be like this, you're scaring Zhizhi!"
Zhang Sui looked at Zhang Tian and said: "Brother, you are unwilling to leave Sister Fu for a moment. Did you go to the military camp to bring Sister Fu back?"
Zhang Sui really guessed it right. Zhang Tian returned to Zhang Mansion not long after leaving Zhang Sui's residence. He was a little worried, so he went to the barracks where the Qingluan Army was stationed to wait for Fu Yun. After Fu Yun's affairs were arranged, the two of them
Come back together, dearly.
Before the blushing Zhang Tian could speak, Fu Yun on the side asked: "Second brother, did you find this spiritual object to give to Sister Xin?"
Zhang Sui nodded and told the two of them how he got the mirage.
Fu Yun exclaimed: "Second brother is really blessed to be able to bring back such a spiritual creature whenever he goes out to do errands. You must know that this mirage is very rare.
Three years ago, a strange incident occurred in a small seaside town on the coast of the South China Sea. People in the entire county had the same nightmare for a month, causing nearly a thousand people to go insane.
After the local officials reported the matter to the court, the court sent two priests from Tongtian Mansion to cooperate with the Tianhao navy. It took two months to take down the culprit, a mirage dragon from the human fairyland, and the mirage was obtained.
Dragon Balls are said to be extremely magical."
As he spoke, he looked at the mirage in Zhang Xin's hand, and then said, "I wonder if there are mirage beads in this mirage?"
Mirage Dragon Zhizhi was so frightened that she had no reaction when she heard Fu Yun's words.
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "This mirage is only at the level of emergence. There are mirage dragon beads, but they are of little use. However, this mirage is of great use to Third Sister."
Qingluan's emotions calmed down at this time, and his body returned to the appearance of a little bluebird. He landed on Zhang Xin's shoulder and tilted his head to look at the mirage.
Zhang Tian asked: "Eating it is good for Xin'er?" He knew that the changes in Zhang Xin's body were due to the changes that occurred after eating some sea creatures that Zhang Sui found for her. He thought that this mirage was also Zhang Xin's.
Then he found food for Zhang Xin.
Zhang Xin said angrily: "Brother, this is not food! Zhizhi, come out and let eldest brother and Sister Fu take a look!"
Hearing this, Zhi Zhi slowly opened the clam shell. Fu Yun looked down and was immediately attracted by Zhi Zhi's appearance just like Zhang Xin when he saw Zhi Zhi. When Zhang Xin also wanted to take a look, Fu Yun and Zhang Xin shouted in unison.
Said: "Don't look at it!"
Fu Yun even pushed Zhang Khot away and said, "You are a grown man, what are you looking at!" Zhang Khot, who took several steps back, had a puzzled look on his face.
Zhang Sui laughed when he saw this.
Xiangyun explained kindly from the side: "Zhizhi is not wearing any clothes. Young Master, you'd better not look at her."
After Fu Yun satisfied his curiosity, he stood up and asked Zhang Sui, "Is there no problem if this mirage is left in the house like this?"
Zhang Sui knew that she was worried about what would happen in the seaside town, so he shook his head and said: "It's okay, I know it in my heart. This mirage has no cultivation and basically acts on instinct. I asked Xin'er to put her in the bedroom, and I have some concerns about Xin'er.
Good thing. I also told Mirage that she can only use her ability on Xin'er alone, otherwise..."
Zhang Sui paused and said quietly: "Then eat her!"
Mirage Dragon Zhizhi, who had been secretly paying attention to Zhang Sui, heard this and trembled all over. Tears welled up in his mouth. He made a series of squeaking sounds and waved his little hands.
Zhang Xin placed the mirage on the table, stood up and put her hands on her hips, saying, "Brother Stinky, do you have any humanity? You can't bear to eat such a cute little person!"
Zhang Sui quickly comforted him: "I just said it, don't be angry."
After finishing speaking, he hesitated for a moment and said to Zhang Xin in a serious voice: "Xin'er, I'm not trying to scare you. The world has changed now. Don't be fooled by the appearance of those things.
This cute little person in front of you almost killed Brother Huang if I hadn't noticed it. Even if she didn't mean it, the consequences were very serious.
After all, we are not of the same race, and sometimes we will have an influence on each other. If it is a good influence, just pay it forward; if it is a harmful influence, dealing with it as soon as possible is the best choice!"
Zhang Xin was startled when she heard this, and said hesitantly: "What should we do? We can't really eat her, right?"
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "That's not necessary. Don't be afraid. She can't hurt you. Didn't I tell you before? She is harmful to others, but she is extremely beneficial to you. You will understand after a while."
Hearing this, Zhang Xin looked at Mirage Zhizhi, who was looking at her with a begging expression, and her heart softened. She nodded to Zhang Sui and said, "Okay, I believe what my second brother says the most!"
Hearing this, Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Sui saw that what he just said made Zhang Xin feel a little unhappy, so he turned around and told Fang Xiong, "Take these to Xin'er's room together."
Fang Xiong nodded and stepped forward to pick up the big water tank. Zhang Xin picked up Zhi Zhi and put her back into the water tank. Xiang Yun led the way and led Fang Xiong to place the things.
Zhang Sui looked at Fu Yun meaningfully and said, "Sister Fu, are you going back to the mansion to spend the night after taking care of the military camp affairs?"
Fu Yun's face turned red, but he nodded generously and said: "I passed on the situation about the shimmering grass you mentioned through our channels. The Ministry of War asked me to postpone the action and stay in Kunzhou City for a few more days. The top
Someone should come over as well."
Zhang Sui was a little surprised and said: "Can this news be delivered so fast? It only took half a day to get a reply?"
Fu Yun said: "We have an emergency notification method, but the cost is too high and it will not be used under normal circumstances. Unless we encounter something very urgent and important, we will use this method to deliver the news."
Zhang Sui nodded when he heard this and did not ask further questions. He knocked on the table and said to Zhang Tian: "Brother, I am writing a few letters here. Please help me ask someone to deliver them. I don't have enough manpower there, so it will be a bit troublesome to deliver them."
Zhang Tian nodded and ordered a servant to get pen and paper. He also sat down at the table and asked, "Is it about the shimmering grass?"
Zhang Sui nodded and said: "Sister Fu has helped contact people in the court. I have some friends who need to be notified and let them participate. It will be beneficial for everyone to come together."
Zhang Tian smiled and said: "I didn't expect that after you changed, you made a lot of friends in just a few months. Not bad, not bad. You have the business tradition of our Zhang family."
As he was talking, the servant took out a pen and paper. Zhang Sui thought about it after taking it and wrote four letters in one breath.
After putting all the letters into envelopes, Zhang Sui wrote on the envelope the person to whom they needed to be sent.
Of these four letters, one was sent to the City Lord's Mansion and handed over to Dong Zheng; one was sent to Qingyi Mansion and handed over to Cheng Di for him to pass on to Taoist Yinglie; the other was given to Youde of Nanli Sect;
One letter was sent to Ethnic Studies and handed over to Mr. Zhou Su, who is responsible for the cultivation of shimmering grass.
Give these four letters to Zhang Tian and ask him to help ask people in the mansion to deliver them.
After finishing it, Zhang Sui thought for a while and wrote another letter. However, he kept this letter for himself and planned to send it to himself instead of giving it to Zhang Tian.
It didn't take long for Fang Xiong to come back empty-handed. Zhang Xin followed him, chattering to him, and the hero just nodded.
When the two came closer, Zhang Sui smiled and said, "Have everything been settled?"
Fang Xiong nodded, and Zhang Xin on the side asked: "Second brother, I just forgot to ask you what Zhizhi eats? I don't understand what she said either."
Zhang Sui thought for a while and said: "Give her something you eat and try it. She should be able to eat it. If you have nothing to do, you can also go to the seafood shop where the royal family visited last time and ask the shopkeeper. They should know. But don't say that you want to feed her.
Mirage, just feed the sea clams."
Zhang Xin nodded when he heard this, turned around and ran away.
Zhang Sui also stood up and said to Zhang Khot and his wife, "I won't disturb the good time you two have. My eldest brother will help you send the letter as soon as possible. I also want to send a letter, so I won't stay any longer."
After saying that, he bowed and took Fang Xiong out of Zhang Mansion.
After getting on the carriage, Zhang Sui ordered: "Go to Xiyifang!"
Fang Xiong nodded, raised his whip and gave it a crack, and the carriage headed towards Xiyifang in the thin dusk.
