Beiyuan, in the words of later generations, is the Royal Zoo and Botanical Garden. It collects precious animals and plants sent from all over the country and even from all over the world. It is also the most interesting place for the royal family. However, if the capital is to be moved, some of the animals and plants here may have to be moved to Luoyang. Of course, this place must be the last to be moved, and it will probably take a few years to wait.

Zhang Zong threw a bamboo shoot into the yard behind the stone wall. A black and white giant panda rushed over immediately, chewing the bamboo shoots, and finally chewing them all up. The two of them hugged the bamboo shoots in front of them, gnawing like people, looking cute and cute.

"Husband, this iron-eating beast is so cute. Should we take it home to raise one?" At this moment, Taiping walked over with a round little panda. The panda should be only a few months old. It looked like a newborn puppy, crawling lazily in Taiping's arms, not afraid of people at all.

"It's nothing to raise one, but you have to remember that this thing is a beast. When I was a child, I looked cute, but when I grew up, I could slap people to death, so I have to send it back before it grows up!" Zhang Zong smiled and said, "Panda is a bear, not a cat. This thing looks cute and is usually a vegetarian, but she still eats meat when she is really hungry.

"I know, my elder brother had raised an iron-eating beast before, but when the iron-eating beast grew up, he was reluctant to send it out. Later, the iron-eating beast went crazy and almost bit him." Taiping smiled and told Li Hong's embarrassing story.

Zhang Zong also showed a surprised expression when he heard this. He did not expect that Li Hong had raised pandas. However, it is normal to think about it. Many nobles in the Tang Dynasty like to raise beasts, especially some noble children show their courage by raising beasts. For example, the most popular pet of beasts is a leopard. Many nobles often saw a lazy leopard lying on their horses when they rode out, which has almost become a popular trend among the nobles.

"Husband, the treasure grass garden over there has sent another batch of strange flowers and plants. Do you want to go and have a look?" Taiping suddenly spoke again.

"Well, I'll go now, do you want to go together?" Zhang Zong nodded immediately. He likes to grow flowers and plants, so the biggest purpose of coming to Beiyuan is to see some strange flowers and plants. If you like it, you can also transplant some to your home to raise.

Taiping hesitated for a moment, then stroked the little panda in his arms and said, "I won't go. I'll ask how this little guy should raise it in the future and what you need to pay attention to so as not to keep it broken."

Hearing Taiping say this, Zhang Zong nodded, so he took a step to Zhencao Garden himself, but he didn't know that when he left, Taiping looked at his back but showed a complicated look. He even wanted to call him several times, but in the end he still didn't speak.

Zhang Zong didn't know the strange manifestation of Taiping behind him. He walked through several gardens. These gardens were named after the captive beasts, such as the Lion Garden, the Tiger Garden, the Deer Garden, etc. From time to time, you can hear some roars of beasts. However, these beasts are taken care of by special people and have special guards to prevent the beasts from running out to hurt people. After all, they are all high-ranking officials and nobles here. If someone is injured by the beast, it will be a big fun.

The Zhencao Garden is a garden that specializes in planting various strange flowers and plants. It not only contains plants, but also has various rockery, flowing water, pavilions and towers. It is actually a very exquisite royal garden.

Zhang Zong is very familiar with this place. After all, he and Xue Shaoke came here a lot to transplant flowers and plants. Of course, Zhang Zong did not take advantage of the royal family. He either transplanted a large number or collected some seeds to go back to plant it, which would not have any impact on the number of plants here. In fact, Beiyuan does not prohibit this kind of thing.

When entering Zhencao Garden, Zhang Zong did not rush to see the new flowers and plants, but stepped to the southernmost point of Zhencao Garden. There is a special area called the Americas. As the name suggests, all kinds of plants brought from the Americas are planted here.

When Qian Dahai arrived in the Americas, he not only brought high-yield crops such as corn and potatoes, but also gave them a lot of seeds from crops, and they were all given to Zhang Zong. However, Zhang Zong could not plant them alone, especially the environment required by some plants was very special, and his small flowerbed could not satisfy them at all, so he gave them to Beiyuan and personally helped Beiyuan design this American area.

The plants in the American region are also divided into several small areas. Zhang Zong’s favorite is the desert plant area. Various desert plants brought back by Qian Dahai were planted here, such as cactus, cactus, and even tall cactus pillars.

However, what Zhang Zong didn't expect was that when he came to the Americas, he found that there was already someone here. When he saw the back of this person, he couldn't help but be stunned, because he was so familiar with this back that he frequently appeared in his dreams during this period.

"Ning'er?" Zhang Zong shouted softly, and saw a girl in Taoist robe standing in front of a fence, with her back facing him as if she was admiring the plants in front.

When Zhang Zong said the words, the girl opposite also trembled slightly, and she slowly turned around. When she really saw that the person behind her was Zhang Zong, she also showed an incredible look on her face.

"It's really you, it's great!" Zhang Zong walked a few steps to Ning'er and shouted in surprise. He never dreamed that he would meet Ning'er here. Could this be God's arrangement?

What Zhang Zong did not expect was that although Taiping was surprised to see him, he then asked with disbelief: "Brother Shi, why are you here, Taiping?"

"You...how did you know that Taiping is coming?" Zhang Zong asked even more surprised when he heard Wan'er ask about Taiping first.

"Because Taiping made an appointment with me yesterday, I wanted to have fun and relax here today, but she didn't say that Brother Shi, you will come too!" Ning'er explained hurriedly. At the end of the conversation, she suddenly guessed something, and the expression on her face became complicated.

"What? But she clearly said she wanted to come here with me to play, how could she be..." Zhang Zong suddenly woke up and immediately showed a look of surprise. It seemed that all this was arranged by Taiping long ago.

"She...why did she do this?" Zhang Zong whispered again after being shocked.
