My Immortal Brother-in-law

Chapter 66 Long Neck

The head of the Yin family rode on a crane, letting the crane struggle to move its two thin legs as he followed Zhong Su who was taking a slow walk.

As he walked, he looked at Hu Jiao, who was fighting for food with his own herd and patting his own tiger with his claws, and said to Zhong Su with a smile.

"The white tiger of Zhenjun's family is really majestic. Look at my tiger beasts, they are so scared that they dare not stand up."

“After all, Ah Jiao is an orthodox white tiger, one of the four sacred beasts of the Great Wilderness today, so her bloodline still has some deterrent power.

The animals raised by the head of the Yin family were no worse. They could even whimper a few times when facing the white tiger, which showed their great courage.

However, why does the head of the Yin family raise so many wild beasts? Bears, lions, tigers, there are even white apes and long-necked fake unicorns.

Does the head of the Yin family like animals? "

Zhong Su asked the head of the Yin family in return, whereupon the head of the Yin family stroked his beard and smiled proudly.

“My Lord, I don’t really like wild animals, but the rich and powerful in the Shang Dynasty prefer these rare things, so I just cater to their taste.

Don't worry, Master Zhenjun. Although I have good relations with officials, I will not be greedy for power. My Yin family has its own family tradition of only making money and not being an official. This is our tradition and has been so for many years.

But the True Lord came specifically to ask about those animals. Could it be that there are animals among those animals that the True Lord likes?
If there is any, please take it yourself, don't be polite."

After saying this, the head of the Yin family grinned and waited for Zhong Su's reply.

Zhong Su quickly shook his head and couldn't help but responded with a smile.

“I don’t have such an idea, I just think that Master Yin might have fed it wrong.

I don't know about other beasts, but that long-necked fake unicorn should be a herbivore, right?
I see you prepared meat for them. The fake Qilin ate meat, but not much. It became so skinny that its shoulders became right angles. Are you planning to train it to be sexy?"

"what?"

The head of the Yin family was stunned.

"It eats grass, how could such a strong beast eat grass?
That was an animal I bought overseas, and the Qigong practitioner who sold it to me didn't tell me what it originally ate.

No wonder this long-necked animal started to urinate all the time after I got it. I thought the animal was having trouble adapting to the local climate, but it turns out it’s a herbivore.
"I know about this, and I will bury the slave who was responsible for feeding the long-necked fake unicorn. He has been raising it for so long and he didn't even know what to feed it!"

“Not really, this has nothing to do with slaves, just prepare some fodder for the fake Qilin.

Listen, Xiaojiu, you two go to the surrounding mountains to find some grass and bring it back to feed the long-necked fish."

Zhong Su interrupted the head of the Yin family and signaled Xiao Jiu and Ao Tingxin to go to the mountains to dig grass.

In response, Xiaojiu and Tingxin happily rushed out.

Tingxin even transformed himself and carried Xiaojiu all the way into the mountains.

Looking at the giant pink dragon soaring into the sky, the head of the Yin family widened his eyes and raised his right hand.

"True Lord, your virgin girl...a dragon!!!"

"Ok?"

Zhong Su was stunned.

“She’s not deaf, how could she be deaf?

That child is my virgin, and also the daughter of the Dragon King of the East Sea, and she is very healthy."

"I didn't say that, I said she's actually a dragon!"

The head of the Yin family's Adam's apple moved, he rolled his eyes, and said less, probably because he was afraid of Ting Xin's revenge.

Just like that, when Zhong Su arrived in Yindu, he brought Tingxin and Xiaojiu back to the Zhong Mansion.

The giraffe is following behind Tingxin...

Seeing their master suddenly return, the servants who had served as masters for two years came out in a panic to greet him.

After a lot of trouble, the Zhong family regained its popularity, and even the two hundred clam girls in the bracelets were able to come out and stroll around.

The clam spirits were keen on playing music, after all, that was all they knew how to do, so before long, the music popular in the Dragon Palace could be heard in Zhong Su's house. However, Zhong Su could not hear the music for the time being, so he stayed at home for only a short while before riding the tiger chariot to the palace.

Xin Ping is still on duty in the palace, but he has been promoted from a deputy general to a true commander-in-chief.

In the two years since Kong Xuan was away, Xin Ping has become a familiar face to Zixuan and is much more generous than before.

Seeing the familiar white tiger approaching from afar, General Xin approached the palace door in a dignified manner, bowed and greeted.

"Master, you are finally back. For the past two years, my child has fallen asleep listening to your stories!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Su dismounted the tiger and handed the reins to the guard.

He asked Xin Ping.

"Why would the general tell the story of this poor Taoist to a child? Could it be that the general admired the poor Taoist who was a playboy in the past more?"

"Haha, you are making fun of me. Who in the Shang Dynasty dares to call me a dandy?

In the past, Zhenjun devoted himself to Taoism and cultivated it for twenty-two years. He did not fly or sing until his family suffered misfortune, and then he finally came to the fore.

The news that you brought rain to Chentang is now widely circulated in Yindu. It so happens that the rainfall in Da Shang has been very poor in the past two years. The Hengshui River surrounding our Yindu has dried up more than once this year.

In order to pray for rain, many people in the capital city ran to Chentangguan to worship in your temple.

If I didn't need to stay in the palace, I would have to bring my family and go to Chentang to offer incense to the True Lord!"

After he finished speaking, Xin Ping led Zhong Su towards the main hall.

After hearing what Xin Ping said, Zhong Su was a little worried. The old Dragon King did not lie. The rainfall in Da Shang has indeed been getting less and less over the years.

Even in Zhong Su's view, the current situation is just the beginning. The next few decades will be the time when Da Shang will face the greatest challenges.

While narrowing his eyes in worry, Zhong Su continued to ask Xin Ping.

"General Xin, please don't flatter me. I only performed a few tricks and I don't deserve the worship of the people of Chentang.

Let’s not talk about that. I still need to ask the general, how is the king now?”

"this……."

Hearing Zhong Su asking about the king's situation, Xin Ping couldn't help feeling disappointed. Although Tai Ding would often kill musicians to vent his anger, except for the musicians, Tai Ding had never randomly executed court officials and was still very much loved by his subjects.

Now, listening to Zhong Suli's concern, Xin Ping gritted his teeth and shook his head sadly.

“If Doctor Zhong were to ask to see the king, then… I’m afraid he would return empty-handed.

To be honest with you, Doctor, King Taiding... hasn't seen outsiders for more than two months.

Except for a few of his closest eunuchs, even His Highness Zixian and His Highness Zigan were not allowed to see His Majesty.

Yesterday, the little prince Zishou made a big fuss about this, but even if the little prince wanted to see grandfather, the king would not allow it. "

Having said that, Xin Ping suddenly remembered something, so he leaned closer to Zhong Su and spoke softly.

“But that may not be the case. Perhaps the king will meet you, and the timing of your return is just right.

Yesterday, there were eunuchs and..."

Xin Ping paused slightly, then looked around nervously. Seeing that the guards were very far away, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to speak to Zhong Su in a low voice.

“Yesterday, a eunuch close to the king chatted with me for a while, and it seemed that the king was… on the verge of losing consciousness.

I don't admit that I said what I'm going to say next. Anyway, as far as I know, the king had made a rule with the eunuchs that when he was dying, he would ask the few people closest to him to come and see him, and among them was naturally you, doctor.

If I had not received the news that you, the doctor, had returned to Yindu earlier, I guessed that His Highness Zixian would have sent someone riding a divine beast to Sanshan Pass to look for you today.

You are faster than we thought. Your Highness thought you would arrive the day after tomorrow, but it is just in time for you to arrive today. Your Highness is waiting to see you."
