Chapter 455 News of the old friend
Zhihu's name is not called 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 Dayu, there is an immemorial relic. According to legend, it is the location of the Dragon Palace of Dongting Lake in ancient times. Later, the world changed greatly, and the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas sealed the Dragon Palace of Dongting Lake. Donghai, do you think there will be hibiscus wood in the Dragon Clan?" Zhihu looked at Cui Yu with a pair of eyes.
"Very likely." Cui Yu nodded in response.
Hearing Cui Yu's words, Zhihu patted Cui Yu's shoulder: "This is your chance. 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 to the city: "How much does the court know about Dongting Lake?"
"It is said that Dongting Lake is related to the Third Prince Long, who was born with the innate spiritual treasure Dinghai Shenzhu. Some people say that the Third Prince Long is the reincarnation of a powerful soul from ancient times." Zhihu replied.
Cui Yu's eyebrows twitched when he heard that, the Third Prince Long was imprisoned in his small world.
"Where are we going now?" Cui Yu asked.
"Come with me." Zhihu said to Cui Yu, leading the way, followed the carriage along the winding road, and came to a huge manor.
The manor is very big, through the sparrowhawks in the sky, Cui Yu can see that this manor is no smaller than the Yongwang 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, and feeding the goldfish.
The Dayu Kingdom was in drought, and countless people were about to starve to death, but these dignitaries still lived well.
The carriage stopped and was handed over to the servants. Zhihu led Cui Yu all the way to a pavilion on the hill.
In the gazebo, there are tulle to cover the sun, there are ice cubes to press the tulle, and there are iced cherries placed in the gazebo.

Zhihu looked at Cui Yu, picked up the wine cup and took a sip: "When you came into Dayu Kingdom, did you see the things outside clearly?"
"Flooding the Dayu Kingdom is indeed true." Cui Yu replied, "The current severe drought is probably also a preparation for the flooding of the Dayu Kingdom."
"But the royal family of Dayu Kingdom didn't believe it at all." Zhihu sighed helplessly.
"What?" Cui Yu was taken aback when he heard this.
"They don't believe at all that Dayu Kingdom will be submerged." Zhihu repeated.
"Why? Those visions are obvious." Cui Yu was puzzled.
"They have been brainwashed by people. They spread some kind of conspiracy theory, thinking that it's all because of the abnormal situation that Dongting Lake is about to be born. It's not the so-called someone who wants to flood the Dayu Kingdom." Zhihu shook his head helplessly.
"They don't believe it, but the ancestors of Dayu Kingdom, they should be able to see through the Dharma Realm and see the giant dragon inside the Dharma Realm, right?" Cui Yu was puzzled.
The dragon is there, how can you not believe it?
"The ancestors of Dayu Kingdom have all gone to explore the legendary Dongting Lake ruins, and have lost contact with the outside world." Zhihu looked at Cui Yu: "So, this is the most troublesome place."
Because he didn't believe that someone was going to flood the Dayu Kingdom, the princes of the Dayu Kingdom fought desperately, and it was almost like a dog's brain.
Xiang Zhuang, the only one who is sober in the world, has not touched the power of the Dharma Realm, and cannot see everything in the Dharma Realm at all.
"That divine dragon is a mirage dragon, which created a huge illusion, covering everyone's eyes." Zhihu looked at Cui Yu with a pair of eyes.
What else could Cui Yu say?
"Where is Xiang Caizhu?" He was going 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 captivity 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 because of the shady means to harm people."
"However, if Xiang Caizhu knows that you are coming, Dayu Kingdom can't lock her up." Zhihu looked at Cui Yu with a pair of eyes: "Things are different, people are different, time has changed, you and Xiang Caizhu are people from two worlds, She may have forgotten you a long time ago, you have to be mentally prepared."
"She won't. Even if she forgets me, I will do everything possible to keep Dayu Kingdom safe." Cui Yu said unhurriedly: "In order to break through the limit of strength, I must reverse the situation."
"It's good if you have this mentality." Zhihu nodded.
"Where's Xiang Yu?" Cui Yu asked.
"Xiang Yu's life is not easy. This guy is not willing to live and die. He insists on fighting for the succession to the throne. Now he is squeezed out by the royal family of the entire Dayu Kingdom." Speaking of this, Zhihu paused:
"Right now, there are eight people competing for the throne in Dayu Kingdom."
Cui Yu ate a cherry, then handed the whole plate of cherries to Ru Nan, and stuffed it into Ru Nan's arms.
"Three are the direct sons of King Dayu, namely the First Prince, Second Prince, and Third Prince. The remaining five are the favorite grandsons of King Dayu. These five sons are a generation later than the three princes. Although A generation later, but in terms of winning the favor of the king, it is not bad at all. However, the most hopeful person to inherit the position of king today is the great son Xiang Shaolong. The great son Xiang Shaolong is the first son of the great prince. He is the most favored by the king. Even the eldest prince is very afraid of facing the son." Zhihu said.
"Wait!" Cui Yu paused: "Xiang Shaolong is the eldest prince's son? Lao Tzu and his son are fighting for the position of the king?"
This somewhat subverted Cui Yu's three views.
I haven't inherited it yet, but my son can't wait?
"Our Dayu Kingdom doesn't believe in the ritual of saints, so we can't talk about any rules." Zhihu said: "Princes, grandchildren, and even great-grandsons, great-great-grandsons, are all capable. After all, the King of Dayu It must never fall into the hands of mediocrity."
"According to the hope and probability of succession to the throne, Xiang Shaolong and the eldest prince and his son are ranked first, so most of the officials in the court fall to the father and son. Xiang Yu is at the bottom because he has no foundation in Dayu Kingdom. Then Coupled with the reasons of the Dayu Chen family and the Mi family, 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 Kingdom have completely moved towards the opposite of Xiang Yu, constantly giving Xiang Yu secrets. What a stumbling block, Xiang Yu's life is very hard now. Also, the Chen family and the Mi family have already taken refuge in the eldest son Xiang Shaolong, if they know that you have come to the capital of Dayu Kingdom, they will definitely swear to you."
"So, I have to cut off the Chen family and the Mi family first?" Cui Yu's eyes showed a hint of coldness.
"It's inevitable." Zhihu said: "The Chen and Mi families in Dayu Kingdom are different from the Chen and Mi families in Daliang City, and their strengths are also worlds apart. But when Chen Lu died, the Chen family in Dayu Now that the leader is gone, it's just as tough."
"Also, the Chen family and the Mi family once went to Daliang City to rob and kill you, but I stopped them and killed them all in secret. I'm afraid this account will also be charged to you. I remember slaughtering a lot of arrogances from the two families, don’t try to reconcile, you are mortal enemies now." Zhihu seemed to have remembered something, and told Cui Yu.
Cui Yu's whole face turned green when he heard this, thousands of thoughts flickered in his heart, but he couldn't say anything to blame.
"It's difficult." Cui Yu didn't have a clue for a moment: "What is the current situation of King Dayu?"
"I heard that it was poisoned by someone. The poison is so powerful that it can't be removed at all. Even Emperor Zhou has no choice but to rely on treasures to hang himself alive." Tang Zhou said.
"In this way, it is very difficult to help Xiang Yu to that position?" Cui Yu asked after a long time.
"I think, unless the pie fell from the sky, and it fell directly into Xiang Yu's mouth. However, Xiang Yu is not without advantages. With Xiang Caizhu, even if Xiang Yu loses the competition, it will never be too miserable. But it's not difficult to retreat." Zhihu said.
"I want the information of those competitors." Cui Yu was secretly ruthless: at worst, they would all be worshiped to death.
"I prepared it for you a long time ago." Zhihu quickly took out a stack of papers from his sleeve and handed it to Cui Yu.
Cui Yu didn't read it in a hurry, but put away the paperwork.
While talking, a guard outside the door reported: "My lord, there is a message from the clan's residence."
"Please come in." Zhihu said.
Turning his head to Cui Yu, he said, "It belongs to Xiang Zhuang. He has been waiting for you in the capital of Dayu Kingdom for a long time. If it wasn't for waiting for you, he would have run away long ago and would never have stayed in Dayu Kingdom. Xiang Zhuang He is sober in the world, he believed in man-made disasters."
Cui Yu was silent when he heard the words: "It's easy to deal with people who are sober."
Not long after, a middle-aged man, dressed in coarse linen and dressed as a housekeeper, came in from the yard.
The man came straight to Cui Yu, knelt down on the ground respectfully and kowtowed: "I have seen Uncle Cui."
"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.
"Master, before leaving, my master said that the person who can sit with Master Zhihu must be the uncle Cui Yu that the villain is looking for." The man said respectfully.
"He is a clever person." Cui Yu praised.
Hearing Cui Yu's words, the servant smiled and respectfully handed over the card: "My master invites you to the banquet tomorrow night."
"Going to the banquet tomorrow night? The time is short enough." Cui Yu took the post, and it really belonged to Xiang Zhuang.
"The villain doesn't know." The servant said respectfully: "But the villain heard my master inadvertently talking about it the day before yesterday, and seemed to be thinking about leaving the Dayu Kingdom to do business soon, so he became a little impatient."
Hearing this, Cui Yu put away the post: "Go back and tell your master that I will go to the banquet on time tomorrow night."
"You don't need to go back, I'm here to serve you." The servant said.
Seeing this, Cui Yu felt that the other party was interested, and stroked his chin: "Interesting! Interesting! What's your name?"
"The villain's name is 'Chang'." The servant said.
"I'm just a commoner, you don't have to be so polite to me." Cui Yu said with a smile.
"You are a distinguished guest of the Grand Master. How dare you offend me? This villain is 13 years old. He was raised by the Grand Master with his own hands. He has been with the Grand Master for more than ten years. You are still the first It's worthy of our master's post." The servant said.
"What? How old do you say you are?" Cui Yu looked at the 'Zhou' in front of him, clearly in his 50s, why did he still say he was 13 years old?
He suspected that he had heard wrongly.
"Xiaorenxiu has a supernatural ability, which can absorb the lifespan of others, and can also transfer the lifespan of others. Recently, it was just because of an errand that I didn't have time to absorb the lifespan to restore it."'Zhou' a pair of eyes Looking at Cui Yu, his eyes were piercing: "My lord, your lifespan is like the blessing of heaven and heaven, and I have never seen a lifespan longer than yours."
Cui Yu stopped drinking tea when he heard that, he never thought that there is such a supernatural power in the world.
He never imagined that there are still people who can see through his own lifespan.
He ate a lot of good food, from Ganlin to Golden Elixir of Myriad Tribulations, and he didn't know how long his lifespan would be.
Zhihu glanced at Cui Yu in surprise, and Cui Yu looked at Chu with a smile: "What else did you see?"
Chen shook his head: "The villain can only look at things related to lifespan. But the longer the lifespan, the stronger the strength."
Cui Yu pointed to Zhihu at the side: "How many years do you think he has left?"
Long Chen glanced at Zhihu, then quickly lowered his head: "The villain dare not say it."
Cui Yu smiled, but he didn't force it.
"Your supernatural powers are unique." Cui Yu said.
Then Cui Yu chatted with Zhihu about world affairs.
Outside Cuiyu Shitiao Street
In a slightly desolate mansion, Xiang Yu stood under an old withered loquat tree, raised his head and looked at the sky.
"My lord, the investigation is clear. Tomorrow night, the Elder Xiang Zhuang of the Clan Mansion is going to have a banquet for distinguished guests, and he has invited all the respected elders of the Xiang family to the banquet." Lai Sheng stood beside Xiang Yu and whispered.
Ever since he came to the capital of Dayu, Xiang Caizhu went to the imperial city, and Lai Sheng followed Xiang Yu to listen to him.
Laisheng was very clever in his work and never disappointed Xiang Yu.
Hearing Lai Sheng's words, Xiang Yu withdrew his gaze: "Have you invited us?"
"No!" Lai Sheng replied.
Seeing that Xiang Yu's face was gloomy, Lai Sheng hurriedly said: "Not only did we not invite us, but none of the people who seized the heirloom were invited. They only invited the older generation, people with high morals from the Xiang family."
Xiang Yu's expression softened slightly.
"The Clan Mansion has not held such a banquet for 1000 or [-] years." Lai Sheng reminded Xiang Yu.
"I know." Xiang Yu frowned: "We must go to this banquet, and we must see Xiang Zhuang. This fellow Xiang Zhuang wanders around on weekdays, and the dragon can't see the end. After returning to the clan's mansion, it is the gate Decline all visits without leaving the door. Now is our only chance to visit Xiang Zhuang. If we miss this opportunity, we will meet Xiang Zhuang next time. I don’t know when it will be. As long as we can get Xiang Zhuang’s approval, we Then we will have the opportunity to enter the inspection range of the Xiang family's royal family, and then we will have the opportunity to be in that position." Xiang Yu's eyes were full of light.
"But Xiang Zhuang 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? Are we just giving up?" Xiang Yu reprimanded:
"Go and bribe the steward of Xiang Zhuang's family."
