Chapter 449 News About an Old Friend

Zhihu’s name is not for nothing.

Cui Yu looked at Zhihu with his eyes and felt that what Zhihu said made sense.

"Where are the ancient ruins?" Cui Yu asked.

"In the country of Dayu, there is an ancient relic. According to legend, it was the location of the Dragon Palace of Dongting Lake in the ancient times. Later, the world changed greatly, and the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas sealed the Dragon Palace of Dongting Lake. The Dragon Clan used to be the overlord of the four seas, and the Fuso tree grew there. Donghai, do you think the Dragon Clan will have hibiscus trees?" Zhihu looked at Cui Yu with his eyes.

"It's very possible." Cui Yu nodded in agreement.

After hearing what Cui Yu said, Zhihu patted Cui Yu on the shoulder: "This is your opportunity. If you want to find the innate sycamore tree, you might as well start directly from Dongting Lake."

Cui Yu was thoughtful and led the carriage towards the city: "How much does the imperial court know about Dongting Lake?"

"It is said that Dongting Lake is related to Prince Long San. Prince Long San was born with the innate spiritual treasure Dinghai Pearl. Some people say that Prince Long San is the reincarnation of a powerful soul from the ancient times." Zhihu replied.

Cui Yu twitched his eyebrows when he heard this, Prince Long San was being held captive in his little world.

"Where are we going now?" Cui Yu asked.

"Follow me." Zhihu said to Cui Yu, leading the way as the carriage wound its way to a huge manor.

The manor was very large. Through the sparrows and hawks in the sky, Cui Yu could see that the manor was no smaller than Prince Yong's Mansion in his previous life.

There are dozens of servants in the yard, carrying water respectfully, walking back and forth in the yard, watering the flowers, feeding the goldfish, and feeding the goldfish.

There was a drought in the Dayu Kingdom, and countless creatures were about to starve to death, but these powerful people still lived well.

The carriage stopped and was handed over to the servant. Zhihu led Cui Yu all the way to a pavilion on a hill.

There is tulle in the pavilion to cover the sun, ice cubes press the tulle, and iced cherries are placed in the pavilion.

The two sit down

Zhihu looked at Cui Yu, picked up the wine cup and took a sip: "When you came into Dayu Kingdom, did you see clearly what was going on outside?"

"It is true that the country of Yu was flooded." Cui Yu replied: "The current severe drought is probably to prepare for the flooding of the country of Yu."

"But the royal family of Dayu Kingdom doesn't believe it at all." Zhihu sighed helplessly.

"What?" Cui Yu was stunned when he heard this.

"They simply don't believe that the Yu Kingdom will be submerged." Zhihu repeated.

"Why? Those visions are obvious." Cui Yu was puzzled.

"They have been brainwashed. They are promoting some conspiracy theory, thinking that it is all because of the abnormal situation that is about to happen in Dongting Lake. It is not the so-called someone who wants to flood the Dayu Kingdom." Zhihu shook his head helplessly.

"They don't believe it, but those ancestors of Dayu Kingdom, they should be able to see through the Dharma Realm and see the giant dragon in the Dharma Realm, right?" Cui Yu was puzzled.

That giant dragon is there, how can you not believe it?

"The ancestors of the Dayu Kingdom have all gone to explore the legendary Dongting Lake ruins, and have long lost contact with the outside world." Zhihu looked at Cui Yu: "So, this is the most troublesome place."

Because they didn't believe that anyone wanted to flood Dayu Kingdom, the princes of Dayu Kingdom fought to the death, which was almost a fool's errand.

Xiang Zhuang, the only person who is awake in the human world, has not touched the power of the Dharma Realm, and cannot see everything in the Dharma Realm at all.

"That dragon is a mirage. It created a huge illusion and covered everyone's eyes." Zhihu looked at Cui Yu with his eyes.

What else could Cui Yu say?

"Where is Xiang Caizhu?" He wanted to see Xiang Caizhu.

He and Xiang Caizhu haven't seen each other for many years.

"You can't see Xiang Caizhu." Zhihu shook his head: "Xiang Caizhu is kept in the safest place in Dayu Kingdom. Xiang Caizhu is the highest combat power in Dayu Kingdom. Those masters in Dayu Kingdom are afraid that someone will use it. Xiang Caizhu is not allowed to come out at all if he uses shady means to harm others."

"However, if Xiang Caizhu knows that you are coming, Dayu Kingdom will not be able to lock her up." Zhihu looked at Cui Yu with his eyes: "Things and people have changed, and times have changed. You and Xiang Caizhu are from two different worlds. She may have forgotten you a long time ago, so you have to be mentally prepared."

"She won't. Even if she forgets about me, I will do everything possible to protect Dayu." Cui Yu said unhurriedly: "In order to break through the limits of my power, I must reverse the situation."

"It's good if you can have this mentality." Zhihu nodded.

"Where is Xiang Yu?" Cui Yu asked.

"Xiang Yu's life is not easy. This guy is not willing to just wait for death. He insists on fighting for the right to inherit the throne. Now he is being squeezed out by the entire royal family of Dayu Kingdom." At this point, Zhihu paused:

"Right now, there are eight people vying for the throne in Dayu Kingdom."

Cui Yu ate one cherry, then handed the whole plate of cherries to Runan and stuffed it into Runan's arms.

"Three of them are the direct sons of the Lord of Dayu, namely the eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince. The remaining five are the favorite grandsons of the Lord of Dayu. These five princes are a generation later than the three princes. Although A generation later, but in terms of winning the favor of the king, he is not bad at all. However, the one who is most promising to inherit the position of king is the eldest son Xiang Shaolong. The eldest son Xiang Shaolong is the legitimate son of the eldest prince. It is the most popular with the king. Even the eldest prince is very afraid when facing the prince." Zhihu said.

"Wait a minute!" Cui Yu paused: "Is Xiang Shaolong the son of the eldest prince? I and my son are competing for the position of the king?"

This somewhat subverts Cui Yu's three views.

I haven't inherited it yet, but my son can't wait?

"Our Dayu Kingdom does not believe in the rituals of saints, so there are no rules." Zhihu said: "Princes, princes, grandsons, and even great-grandsons and great-great-grandchildren are all capable people. After all, the leader of Dayu Kingdom It must not fall into the hands of mediocrity.”

"In terms of the hope and probability of inheriting the throne, Xiang Shaolong and the eldest prince and his son are ranked first, so most of the ministers in the court are leaning towards the father and son. Xiang Yu has no foundation in Dayu Kingdom, so he is in the last place. Again. Coupled with the problems of the Chen family and the Mi family of Dayu, Xiang Yu's life is very difficult now. Thanks to you, the Chen family and the Mi family of the eight great families called Dayu have completely turned against Xiang Yu, and they have been secretly keeping secrets for Xiang Yu. Damn it, Xiang Yu is living a very miserable life now. Also, the Chen family and the Mi family have already taken refuge with the eldest son, Xiang Shaolong. If they find out that you have come to the capital of Dayu, they will definitely not give up with you."

"So, I have to cut off the Chen family and Mi family first?" Cui Yu had a cold look in his eyes.

"It is inevitable." Zhihu said: "The Chen family and Mi family of Dayu are different from the Chen family and Mi family of Daliang City, and their strength is also very different. However, after Chen Lu died, the Chen family of Dayu Now that we have lost our leader, life is equally difficult.”

"Also, when people from the Chen family and Mi family went to Daliang City to rob and kill you, I stopped them and killed them all secretly. I'm afraid this account will also be recorded on your head. I remember that I killed many talented people from both families. Don't even think about reconciling, you are mortal enemies now." Zhihu seemed to have remembered something and warned Cui Yu.

When Cui Yu heard this, his whole face turned green. Thousands of thoughts flashed in his heart, but he couldn't say anything to blame.

"It's difficult to handle." Cui Yu had no idea for a while: "What is the situation of the Lord of Dayu now?"

"I heard that he was poisoned. The poison is so powerful that it is impossible to remove it. Even Emperor Zhou had no choice but to rely on the treasure to hang on to his life." Tang Zhou said.

"So, is it difficult to help Xiang Yu to that position?" Cui Yu asked after a long time.

"I think, unless it's pie in the sky and it hits Xiang Yu's mouth directly. But Xiang Yu is not without advantages. With Xiang Caizhu here, even if Xiang Yu fails in the competition, it will never be too miserable. And it’s not difficult to return it,” Zhihu said.

"I want the information of those competitors." Cui Yu secretly felt cruel: At worst, he would kill them all.

"It has been prepared for you a long time ago." Zhihu quickly took out a stack of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Cui Yu.

Cui Yu was not in a hurry to read it, but put the documents away.

Just as he was talking, a guard outside the door reported: "Master, there is a post from the clan's mansion."

"Invite him in." Zhihu said.

He turned to Cui Yu and said: "It's from Xiangzhuang. He has been waiting for you in the capital of Dayu Kingdom for a long time. If it weren't for waiting for you, he would have run away long ago and would not have stayed in Dayu Kingdom at all. Xiangzhuang The world is awake and he believes in man-made disasters."

Cui Yu was silent when he heard this: "It will be easier if there are sober people."

Not long after, I saw a middle-aged man, dressed in coarse linen clothes and dressed as a housekeeper, walking in from outside the yard.

The man walked straight to Cui Yu, knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully: "I have seen Uncle Cui."

"Do you know me? How do you know that I am the Uncle Cui you are looking for?" Cui Yu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a smile.

"Reporting to the uncle, before leaving, my master said that the person who can sit with Mr. Zhihu must be Mr. Cui Yu who I am looking for." The man said respectfully.

"He is a smart person." Cui Yu praised.

After hearing what Cui Yu said, the servant smiled and respectfully handed over the invitation: "My master invites you to a banquet tomorrow night."

"Going to the banquet tomorrow night? We are in a hurry." Cui Yu took the post and found that it was indeed from Xiang Zhuang.

"I don't know," the servant said respectfully, "but I heard my master murmuring unintentionally the day before yesterday. He seems to be thinking of leaving Dayu Kingdom soon to do business, so he is a little impatient."

Cui Yu heard this and put away the post: "Go back and report to your master, and tell me that I will go to the banquet on time tomorrow night."

"You don't have to go back, I'm here to serve you," the servant said.

Seeing this, Cui Yu felt that the other party was interested, and then stroked his chin: "Interesting! Interesting! What's your name?"

"The villain's name is 'Zhang'." The servant said.

"I'm just a civilian, you don't have to be so polite to me." Cui Yu said with a smile.

"You are the distinguished guest of the eldest master. How dare you offend me? I am thirteen years old this year. I was raised by the eldest master with his own hands. He has always been with the eldest master. In the past ten years, you are still the first Someone worthy of our great master’s post.” the servant said.

"What? How old do you think you are?" Cui Yu looked at 'Long' in front of him. He was clearly in his fifties. Why did he still say he was thirteen?

He suspected that he had heard wrongly.

"The villain has a magical power that can absorb the life span of others, and can also transfer the life span of others. In the recent period, it was just because I ran an errand and I didn't have time to absorb the life span and restore it." 'Noon' a pair of eyes Looking at Cui Yu, his eyes were piercing: "My lord, your life span is simply as long as the longevity of Hongfu and Qi Tian. I have never seen a life span longer than yours."

When Cui Yu heard this, he stopped to drink tea. He didn't expect that there was such a magical power in the world.

He never imagined that someone could actually see through his lifespan.

He eats a lot of good food, from the sweet rain to the golden elixir of all calamities. He himself doesn't know how long his life span is.

Zhihu glanced at Cui Yu in surprise, and Cui Yu looked at Shan with a smile: "What else did you see?"

Long shook his head: "The villain can only look at things related to life span. But often, the longer the life span, the stronger the strength."

Cui Yu pointed to Zhihu aside: "How many years do you think he has left?"

He glanced at Zhihu for a moment, then quickly lowered his head: "I don't dare say anything."

Cui Yu smiled, but he didn't force it.

"Your magical powers are unique." Cui Yu said.

Then Cui Yu and Zhihu chatted about world affairs.

Ten streets away from Cuiyu

In a slightly desolate mansion, Xiang Yu stood under an old and dry loquat tree, raising his head and looking at the sky.

"Sir, we have found out clearly. Mr. Xiang Zhuang of the Zongren Mansion is hosting a banquet tomorrow night and has invited all the respected elders of the Xiang family to the banquet." Lai Sheng stood beside Xiang Yu and whispered.

Since arriving in the capital of Dayu, Xiang Caizhu went to the imperial city, and Laisheng followed Xiang Yu and listened.

Laisheng was very clever in doing things and never let Xiang Yu down.

Hearing Laisheng's words, Xiang Yu withdrew his gaze: "Are we invited?"

"No!" Lai Sheng replied.

Seeing Xiang Yu's face turn gloomy, Laisheng said quickly: "Not only did we not be invited, but all the people who claimed the throne were not invited. We were only invited by the older generation, highly respected people of the Xiang family."

Xiang Yu's expression softened slightly.

"The clan's mansion has not held a banquet like this for 1,200 years." Lai Sheng reminded Xiang Yu.

"I know." Xiang Yu frowned: "We must go to this banquet, and we must see Xiang Zhuang. Xiang Zhuang wanders around on weekdays, and the dragon never sees its head or tail. After returning to the clan's mansion, there is a gate We refuse all visits without leaving the house. Now is our only chance to meet Xiang Zhuang. If we miss this opportunity, we don’t know when we will meet Xiang Zhuang next time. As long as we can get Xiang Zhuang’s approval, we We will have the opportunity to enter the inspection scope of the Xiang family royal family, and then we will have the opportunity to ascend to that position." Xiang Yu's eyes were full of light.

"But Xiangzhuang didn't invite us at all." Lai Sheng said helplessly.

"Xiang Zhuang didn't invite us, and the Lord of Dayu didn't ask us to ascend the throne directly? Should we just give up?" Xiang Yu reprimanded:

"Go and bribe the steward of Xiangzhuang's family."
