Chapter 457 Setting up a Trap

Xiang Yu seemed to be unable to bear the humiliation and left with an angry look on his face, leaving Xiang Shaolong standing there proudly: "A poor boy from a remote country still wants to covet the position of the leader of the country. It is simply ignorant of the heights of the world."

The voice was filled with pride.

The anxiety in my heart dissipated, and instantly I felt that my hands were no longer trembling, and my legs were no longer shaking.

In the main hall

Xiang Zhuang looked at the direction in which Xiang Yu disappeared, his eyes full of seriousness: "Is it really feasible?"

He has no confidence in Xiang Yu.

"Isn't there still you? With Xiang Yu's force and your wisdom, it is not difficult to expand the territory of Dayu Kingdom dozens of times during the troubled times. In the end, it will be possible to conquer the world and regain the glory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It's not that there is no hope. What Xiang Yu understands is the law of force, and you should be very clear about the magical means he has mastered." Cui Yu said with a smile.

"Xiang Yu has the blood of the giant spirit god flowing in his body. He will definitely reach the prime of life in less than ten years. His supernatural power is not inferior to that of a saint. Even if it is compared to King Wu of Zhou, he will definitely not be inferior." Xiang Zhuang said. He finished: "And even among the saints, he is the strongest. Coupled with the assistance of Xiang Caizhu, who controls the power of the earth's magnetism, my top strength, Dayu, will never be worse than anyone else."

This is also the meaning of the existence of Xiang Yu and Xiang Caizhu. Even if they are exiled as sinners of the Xiang family, their value is enough to make the Yu royal family tolerant.

"Xiang Yu's character is flawed." Xiang Zhuang sighed quietly: "In fact, he is more suitable to be a general."

Cui Yu was silent after hearing this, and after a long time he said: "As long as you are strong enough, most of your flaws can be made up for."

"What to do next?" Xiang Zhuang looked at Cui Yu with his eyes.

Cui Yu was silent after hearing this, and after a long time he said: "Instigate dissension and ask the princes to fight to the death. Then just wait!"

"Wait?" Xiang Zhuang looked at Cui Yu in surprise, wondering what Cui Yu meant by waiting.

"The seven vassal states join forces to exterminate Dayu. Who among the Dayu can resist? Once Dayu falls, all the princes everywhere will be in danger. At that time, in response to the requests of all the people in the world, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will ask Xiang Yu to come out. When the time comes, Xiang Yu is expected to return home, and if he defeats the foreign enemies and protects the Yu Kingdom, he will definitely gain great prestige and be recognized by the nobles of the Yu Kingdom."

"And then take advantage of the situation to rebel?" Xiang Zhuang asked.

"It's too rough." Cui Yu shook his head: "This method is too rough. If at this time in the capital of Dayu, a certain prince suddenly rebelled and killed the king, then Xiang Yu led the Qing army to suppress the cholera, and then supported a three-year-old The prince ascended the throne and took advantage of the opportunity to regent and supervise the country. When the situation in the DPRK was stabilized, the ministers were asked to jointly submit a letter. The little prince then issued an edict admitting that he was unscrupulous and willing to give up the throne to Xiang Yu. In this way, the Yu Kingdom would be legitimate and legitimate. Is it in your hands?”

Hearing Cui Yu's plan, Xiang Zhuang opened his mouth wide and was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

He's really pulling his ass off with a knife - it's an eye-opener!

Xiang Zhuang was speechless for a long time, recalling Cui Yu's plan, he only felt a sense of panic in his heart.

Cui Yu's layout was so interconnected that there was no flaw, and there was no chance for anyone to counterattack.

Watertight, no flaws.

It can be said that as long as Cui Yu's operation is followed, Xiang Yu will definitely be able to sit on the throne of the king if he does not die prematurely.

As long as Xiang Yu doesn't seek death, no one can interrupt his plan.

"If we want to support Xiang Yu, the biggest problem right now is flooding Dayu. I'm afraid that instead of attacking Dayu first, the seven-nation coalition will wait until Dayu becomes Ze and then send troops to kill people." Xiang Zhuang said what was in his heart. concern.

When Dayu becomes Ze, even if Xiang Yu reaches his peak, he will never be able to recover.

What is Xiang Zhuang afraid of?

Although the Allied Forces of the Seven Nations are fierce, the Yu Kingdom is not without a chance. At least it still has the strength to give it a try.

What he is afraid of is that the other party will directly flood Dayu, and then the hundreds of millions of people in Dayu will be drowned directly, and then the Allied Forces of the Seven Nations will come back to pick up their heads.

Even if the Allied Forces of the Seven Nations are defeated by then, what will be left of Dayu Kingdom?

It’s just a thousand miles of desolation.

"If it were you, which one would you choose?" Cui Yu looked at Xiang Zhuang, looking at him with a half-smile.

Xiang Zhuang frowned when he heard this: "Of course I chose to flood Dayu Kingdom first, but in order to pick up people more easily, if I can cause civil strife in Dayu Kingdom before flooding Dayu Kingdom, I don't have the energy to pay attention to the external situation. , I didn’t realize that Dayu Kingdom was flooded, and it will be smoother by then.”

At this point, Xiang Zhuang stopped talking. For this reason, if he didn't know how the other party would do it, then he would be a fool.

"The East China Sea wants to flood Dayu Kingdom, turn Dayu Kingdom into a sea, and become a stronghold of the Dragon Clan in the land of China. What do you think we should do?" Xiang Zhuang looked at Cui Yu, he had no clue.

"Is there a master in the Dayu Kingdom who can defeat the dragon in the Dharma Realm?" Cui Yu asked.

If that dragon can be killed, all problems will be solved.

"How can it be so easy? There are four top masters in the Dharma Realm, and the water gods of the Three Rivers are secretly blessing it. The masters of the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas are also hiding in the dark and watching covetously. If you want to kill the old dragon, you must kill all the masters first. If Dayu had that ability, it would no longer be Dayu, and what would a mere seven-nation coalition mean?" Xiang Zhuang's voice was full of helplessness.

Think about it, who are the people who are in charge of the Dharma Realm?

There is an unknown Tang Zhou, a leader of the Taiping Religion, and two other mysterious people who do not know the depth. They are definitely not ordinary strong men. This is just the surface. There are more masters watching in the dark. Once something happens, It was earth-shattering to begin with.

"Then break the magical power of the East China Sea Dragon Palace and kill the old dragon." Cui Yu had a cold look in his eyes.

"It's as difficult as climbing to heaven." Xiang Zhuang replied.

"You also said that it is just as difficult as climbing to the sky. It is not that there is no chance at all." Cui Yu looked at Xiang Zhuang: "I want the water vein map of Dayu Kingdom. If I want to check and balance the Dragon Clan, I must first investigate Dayu Kingdom. The direction of the water veins cannot be determined. I think Xiang Shaolong is a very good candidate and can be a stepping stone for Xiang Yu."

"I know. I will send you the water vein map tomorrow." Xiang Zhuang said.

Cui Yu will rest at Xiangzhuang's house tonight and think about many unfinished things.

The servant led Cui Yu and Runan into a luxurious house. Cui Yu slept in the outer room and Runan slept in the inner room.

Just as he was about to wash up and change clothes, suddenly there was a knock on the door, and then he saw the chief steward walking in with a respectful look on his face, carrying hot water:

"The villain is the steward of the house and has met the distinguished guest. When he saw the distinguished guest, he wanted to rest, so he specially brought bath water to the distinguished guest."

Looking at the steaming hot water, Cui Yu nodded: "I'm determined."

Although he didn't need to take a shower, it didn't stop him from accepting the other party's kindness.

The chief steward put down the bucket and did not leave. Instead, he stood in the room and looked at Cui Yu.

"Are you okay?" Cui Yu was alert and asked calmly.

"I still have something to report." The big steward looked at Cui Yu. For some reason, he felt that Cui Yu's face seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, making it difficult for him to see clearly.

"What's the matter?" Cui Yu asked.

The steward knelt down and said, "I shouldn't have said anything about this matter, but the person who ordered me to pass on the message is too powerful, so I don't dare to offend him at all. If I can't pass on the message, I'm afraid I'm not far away from death." , please forgive me."

Looking at the steward who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, Cui Yu did not show any kindness this time. Instead, he sat down on a stool nearby, picked up the prepared pastry and took a bite: "What do you want?"

"I'm here to send a message on behalf of the Crown Prince, Xiang Shaolong. Xiang Shaolong wants to see Sir. Please ask Sir to persuade my master to meet him. After this is done, if the Crown Prince can ascend to the position of the head of the Dayu Kingdom, he can make Sir a nobleman." The chief steward said.

"Noble?" Cui Yu was stunned.

Nobility is not simple!

Even if they are just nobles from Dayu Kingdom, they are still nobles!

Have your own territory, have your own laws.

As long as he is a noble, all the 365 princes will recognize him. This is definitely an opportunity to change your destiny!

An opportunity for an ordinary person to rise to the top and transcend class.

And while he was thinking about it, he didn't expect Xiang Shaolong to come to him on his own initiative and deliver it to his door.

Xiang Shaolong wants to seize his legitimate son, how can he not fulfill his wish?

"And he's a Marquis." The steward looked at Cui Yu and said quickly.

Cui Yu was silent after hearing this. After a while, he said: "It's such a big deal. I seem to want to refuse it, but I have no reason to refuse it. Who would refuse to become a noble?"

"I'm just responsible for pulling the strings and asking him to meet Xiang Zhuang. As for whether it can be done, I don't care!" Cui Yu said.

"In this way, Your Majesty, I can't thank you enough." The chief steward said quickly.

Cui Yu wrote a note, sealed it with beeswax, and handed it to the chief steward: "Take this letter and give it to Xiang Zhuang, and the matter will be settled naturally."

"Is a letter enough?" The chief steward was stunned.

"That's enough!" Cui Yu said with a smile, "Just do as you are told."

The chief steward looked at the letter in his hand with doubts, but when he saw Cui Yu being so determined, he did not dare to stay and turned around to run.

The chief steward came all the way to Xiang Zhuang's residence and saw that Xiang Zhuang was still asleep, so he walked into the house and said, "Sir, I have a letter that I want you to give to me."

Xiang Zhuang was thinking about how to treat Xiang Shaolong as a chess piece, how to favor Xiang Shaolong without leaving any trace, and without arousing Xiang Shaolong's suspicion or causing any abnormalities, but after thinking for a long time, there was no way.

He had a firm attitude before and would never participate in the matter of seizing the heir, but now if he rashly supports Xiang Shaolong, I'm afraid Xiang Shaolong will become suspicious.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but be startled when he saw the document handed over by the chief steward: "It's weird, what's the matter with him? He didn't tell me directly, but wrote a letter instead?"

After opening the letter, Xiang Zhuang was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look surprised.

Then he calmly put the letter away and lit it under the candlelight: "Please come over, Xiang Shaolong."

The chief steward was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that a letter from Cui Yu would actually get the matter done.

Then he came back to his senses, ran out without saying a word and looked excited.

Xiang Shaolong was waiting anxiously outside the mansion when he suddenly saw the chief steward rushing out of the archway with an excited look on his face: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the matter is done. My master is about to invite you over for a talk, please come with me quickly."

"Is the matter done?" Xiang Shaolong was overjoyed when he heard this.

The two of them walked into the archway, and Xiang Shaolong asked, "How did you do it?"

"The distinguished guest wrote a handwritten letter. After my master read it, it was done." The steward said.

Xiang Shaolong was surprised when he heard this, and then said: "In that case, I will really pay my respects to this distinguished guest when I have time."

Xiang Shaolong's eyes were full of emotion, and he was really curious about that distinguished guest now.

Xiang Shaolong's eyes were full of curiosity.

Xiang Shaolong entered Xiang Zhuang's house in a slightly anxious mood. In the middle of the night, his face was red and he walked out of the house with excitement, his eyes full of energy.

Done!

He spent a lot of time talking, his mouth was dry, and he finally made Xiang Zhuang loosen his attitude.

As long as Xiang Zhuang is satisfied with his future performance, the matter will be settled!

When the dust settles, no one can shake their position.

In the room, Xiang Zhuang looked at Xiang Shaolong's back and couldn't help but shook his head: "With this intelligence, do you still want to compete for the position of the king?"

Let’s talk about Cui Yu

After the steward went to deliver the message to Xiangzhuang and left, Cui Yu suddenly changed his mind, called Runan, appeared directly at the back door of Xiangzhuang, and left through the back door very quietly.

He didn't want to live in Xiangzhuang's mansion.

Without him, there would be too many people and too many eyes!

Especially since a national scholar has appeared, the news cannot be hidden from outsiders.

In the dark night of Dayu Kingdom, the streets were still brightly lit, and countless pedestrians were walking on the streets.

Cui Yu put his hands in his sleeves and walked through the crowds, thinking about how to defeat Dayu Kingdom's calamity.

"If you want to break the catastrophe, there are currently two ways. The first way is to strengthen the water veins of the Yu Kingdom, and then I will directly enshrine a water god and ask the water god to face the catharsis of the flood. The second way is to kill the Dharma Realm. That old dragon king."

Cui Yu's thoughts were flowing in his mind. It was not easy to consecrate the water god. The merits of heaven and earth and the spirituality of water were both indispensable.

As for killing the old dragon king, it seems to be as difficult as climbing to the sky. After all, the old dragon king is not made of clay.

"My Gonggong real body seems to be the master of water in the world, but I can't hold on for long." Cui Yu felt that this was the most troublesome, and there seemed to be not enough time.

Behind Cui Yu, Runan held a small pumpkin lantern and looked at everything on the street curiously.

In Dayu Kingdom, everyone enjoys the coolness during the day, and becomes active at night. They gather together one by one and start doing business in groups.

Looking around, most of them are still flesh and blood businesses. There is a severe drought in the world and the people don’t even have food to eat. How can they have spare money for consumption?

"Miss, do you want to tell your fortune?" In the corner, in the dim light, a person whose figure could not be seen clearly said to Runan.

The man's voice seemed to contain a unique magic power, which made Runan couldn't help but stamp her feet. Then she ignored Cui Yu and twisted her body to sit in front of the stall.

The stall owner kept shaking the lottery tube, and the strange sound of the lottery tube instantly alarmed Cui Yu. Cui Yu couldn't help but stop in his tracks. He turned around and saw the figure in the dim light, and his heart tightened:

Who do you mean?

He is familiar with this person, he is a great immortal!

That is Zhang Jiao.
