I trade in both worlds

Chapter 338 Ten Thousand Beasts Garden

Whenever he thought of these, Yang Wei was fascinated. When he heard that the prince was going on a trip this time, he felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Yang Wei's father-in-law, Commander-in-Chief Xiao Shicun, was ordered to accompany the prince on the trip due to his duties.

Yang Wei thought that this might be a great opportunity for him to change his fate. If he could take this opportunity to get close to the princes, even if it was just to make them familiar, it would be much better than being unknown now.

As night fell, Yang Wei returned home, frowning, thinking about how to sneak in on this trip. His eyes fell on Xiao Xiangxiang.

Although Xiao Xiangxiang was a concubine's daughter, she was favored by Xiao Shicun because of her extraordinary intelligence and her ability to read people's expressions.

"Xiangxiang, do you know what your father-in-law's schedule is these days?" Yang Wei asked tentatively, with a hint of urgency in his tone.

Xiao Xiangxiang raised her head, her eyes were sharp, and she saw through her husband's thoughts in an instant: "Is it about the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden?"

Yang Wei was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "I can't hide anything from you. I just want to take this opportunity to go with my father-in-law, maybe I can get to know a few princes and help my career..."

Xiao Xiangxiang pondered for a moment, frowning slightly: "I need to discuss this matter with my father, but you need to understand that although my father loves me, this matter is very serious, and he may not agree."

Yang Wei's heart tightened when he heard this, but he didn't dare to reveal too much, so he had to pretend to be calm: "Of course I understand, but this matter is very important to me, I hope you can say a few good words in front of my father-in-law."

Xiao Xiangxiang looked at him, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, and finally nodded in agreement.

The next day, she went back to her parents' home and mentioned the matter to Xiao Shicun.

After hearing this, Xiao Shicun frowned slightly and remained silent.

He knew Yang Wei's thoughts and his character very well, and he really didn't want to take him with him.

However, looking at his daughter's expectant eyes, he remembered that Yang Wei had once saved his life. In addition, his official position was indeed low. If he could take this opportunity to move up, it would not be without benefits to the Xiao family.

"Forget it." Xiao Shicun sighed, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness: "I promise you, I will take him with me. But you have to tell him that he needs to be careful in what he says and does during this trip and not cause trouble."

Xiao Xiangxiang was overjoyed when she heard this. She quickly thanked her father and turned around to tell Yang Wei the good news.

After hearing this, Yang Wei couldn't hide his excitement, as if he saw a bright future for his career.

A few days later, it was the day of departure. Yang Wei got up early, practiced the speech he had prepared several times, and then went to the Wanshou Garden with Xiao Shicun.

Along the way, he carefully observed the words and expressions of the princes, trying to find an opportunity to talk to them, but he never succeeded.

The Garden of Beasts is located in a vast area outside the capital. The gate of the garden is majestic and magnificent, like a gateway to another world.

When you enter the park, the first thing that catches your eye is a dense forest. The lush trees block out the sun, providing a natural habitat for the animals in the park.

Following the winding path, Yang Wei and others came to a huge lawn.

There is a rockery in the middle of the lawn, with a gurgling mountain spring flowing down, forming a spectacular waterfall.

Below the waterfall is a crystal clear pond with blooming lotus flowers and fish playing in it, which is a beautiful sight.

There are cages for various animals around the lawn.

To the north, a majestic lion was lying lazily on the grass, enjoying the afternoon sun, its fur was golden and it looked majestic.

To the south, a tiger was strolling leisurely. Its eyes were sharp and its body was strong, revealing an inviolable majesty.

In the east, several cheetahs were chasing and playing. They were agile and moved at amazing speeds, as if they could catch their prey at any time.

In the west, a group of wolves were besieging an antelope. Their tacit cooperation and superb tactics were so frightening.

In addition, there are various rare and exotic animals in the park: peacocks spread their tails in brilliant colors, ostriches run in a naive manner, and monkeys climb flexibly.

Each animal has its own unique charm, which makes people dazzled.

When the prince and his party arrived at the Garden of All Beasts, they were all filled with admiration. The prince was even more proud, leading everyone around to look around, and from time to time he gave his opinions and made comments.

The princes were also very interested and full of curiosity and surprise about the animals in the garden.

Yang Wei followed behind everyone, but his eyes were searching everywhere, hoping to find an opportunity to talk to the princes.

However, he had neither literary talent nor military achievements, and in the eyes of those princes, he was just an insignificant character.

He could only follow everyone silently, feeling anxious in his heart.

Suddenly, he saw the second prince standing in front of a lion, his eyes sparkling, as if he sensed something.

Yang Wei's heart moved, he mustered up the courage to step forward and said, "Your Highness, the Second Prince, this lion is really majestic."

Upon hearing this, the Second Prince turned around and looked at him. Seeing that he was Xiao Shicun's son-in-law, he casually responded, "Yeah."

Yang Wei was delighted when he saw this, and quickly continued, "Your Highness, you know that this lion is the king of all beasts. It is brave and fearless, just like Your Highness, brave and unparalleled, and worthy of admiration."

When the Second Prince heard him say this, he couldn't help but look at him twice more and said with a smile, "You are good at talking. However, although this lion is fierce, it is just a caged animal. How can it be as free as us?"

Yang Wei was delighted when he heard this, and continued to compliment him, "Your Highness is right. However, even though this lion is in a cage, it still retains its fierceness."

"Your Highness, as a member of the royal family, naturally has higher aspirations. But I believe that no matter where you are, as long as you have ambition in your heart, you can be as majestic as this lion and shock the world."

Upon hearing this, the Second Prince looked at him in surprise and said, "You do have some knowledge. But, is the path to a career in government so easy?"

Yang Wei was shocked when he heard this, knowing that this was a critical moment: "Your Highness is right. However, I think that as long as there is an opportunity, we should fight for it."

"It is my honor to follow Your Highness to the Beast Garden this time. I am willing to serve Your Highness at all costs. I only ask Your Highness to give me a chance."

After saying this, he bowed respectfully to the Second Prince.

The Second Prince looked him up and down, was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Since you have this intention, I will remember it. However, how it will turn out in the future depends on your own luck."

Upon hearing this, Yang Wei was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.

He thought that although this was just a beginning, as long as he could take this step, his future career path would be promising.

After spending two days in the Zoo, the prince decided to return to the capital the next day.

However, no one expected that this originally enjoyable trip would turn into a thrilling crisis.
