In addition, Peng Yu had already thought of an excuse for coming to the royal capital privately.
Firstly, he was persecuted by the second prince, who came here to complain. Secondly, he was ordered by the emperor to go to the forty-three regions to explore the so-called inheritance of Holy Lord Tianhong.
, is back now. Although he was not summoned, it is reasonable for him to take the initiative to report the situation to Emperor Zun.
In short, he has sufficient reasons to return to Xingyang.
As for Chen Muyu and Li Xu, they both have plans in mind.
If you don't go to Xingyang, how can you go to Wangting and how can you get the idea of Long Yuanguo?
Chen Muyu was indeed not very interested in the Long Yuan Fruit. What he was worried about was what Yang Ming said about the opportunities hidden in the Long Yuan Fruit trees.
At first, he really didn't want to take this trip into troubled waters, but after hearing Li Xu's plan, he changed his mind.
It has come, and since there is a strong man to open the way, it would be a pity for him not to take a chance on this opportunity.
It would be even more of a pity if that guy Yang Ming took advantage in the end.
So, after resting for two days, Peng Yu personally wrote a letter and sent it to Xingyang. After receiving no reply, he felt relieved and set off directly to Xingyang.
…
Another day passed.
Feizhou arrived outside Xingyang City.
The feeling of this Xingyang City for Chen Muyu is no different from other levels he has seen before. The only sense is the bigness.
This is a huge city housing hundreds of millions of monks.
The most central and most prosperous place in the entire Thirty-three Domains.
Although Peng Yu became a vassal after being released to the outside world, he still kept his mansion in Xingyang.
In Beicheng, in a relatively quiet alley, there is a very large house, probably covering an area of more than 20 acres.
You know, the royal capital has a lot of money, and there are regulations for building houses.
To be able to have such a big house in the royal capital is not just a simple matter of having money and status. You must have a very high status.
Pavilions, rockeries and lakes, needless to say.
It's been a long time since Peng Yu went out to join the feudal clan, but the servants in this mansion are still taking care of them.
After settling down, Peng Yu wrote another letter and sent someone to send it to the palace immediately.
The next step is to wait for the emperor's summons.
However, after waiting for an entire afternoon, Emperor Zun's summons did not come, but instead a message came.
A post from the Third Prince's Mansion.
The third prince, Peng Ling.
Invite Peng Yu to the banquet.
Peng Yu pinched the post, frowned, and called Chen Muyu and others to a place to ask for their opinions.
The posts were shown to everyone in turn.
Peng Yu also called the housekeeper over.
The butler's name is Peng Kuang, an old man who looks very capable.
"The third prince is also in the royal capital?" Peng Yu asked the steward.
Among the eight kings, no, it should be said that among the seven kings, only the second prince Peng Kuan can stay in the royal capital for a long time.
As for other princes, including Peng Yu, they do not have such an honor.
As for the third prince Peng Ling, although he has outstanding military exploits and is extremely popular in the court, he is still a vassal king. Even if the emperor gives him special favors, he cannot often enter the royal capital.
Stayed in the royal capital for a long time.
That's why Peng Yu asked this question.
The steward quickly replied, "It has been some time since the third prince returned to the royal capital. I heard that the emperor wanted to commend him for his great victory in southern Xinjiang and take him to Jade Emperor Mountain to enshrine him. Therefore, the third prince had returned to the royal capital early.
All."
Hearing this, Peng Yu couldn't help but frown.
It’s nothing more than a commendation, but take him to Jade Emperor Mountain to become a Buddhist monk?
Why didn't he receive the emperor's edict?
He is also a son, but he is also his legitimate son. For such a big matter as Feng Chan, the emperor did not call him, but called his third son.
On the other hand, news also spread that Emperor Zun will let the second child guard the royal capital.
It seems that whether it is the second or third eldest son, the emperor has given him honor and favor. On the other hand, the other princes really have nothing.
At this moment, Peng Yu felt a little unhappy.
Attend a banquet!
He had just come back, and the third child already knew that this third child had great influence in the capital.
"It's just a banquet, it's no big deal. If His Highness doesn't want to go, just find a reason to refuse."
Huang Ying advised Peng Yu not to be so entangled.
Peng Yu shook his head and said with a wry smile, "That's not what I'm worried about. What my father values most is the second and third sons. I really don't understand. They should be the opponents, so why are they looking for me?"
At this time, Li Xu said, "The troubles we encountered along the way were all caused by the second prince. With the third prince's ability, it is impossible not to know that we are being hunted. He did not take advantage of others' danger, and now he has
Inviting you to the banquet, from the looks of it, I guess he wants to win over you and deal with the second prince together."
"good."
Guo Nan echoed from the side, "I think what Brother Li said is true. As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. Now, His Highness and the second prince are already mortal enemies, and the third prince and the second prince are also in a hostile relationship. So
To sum it up, the third prince’s move is probably because he wants to join forces with you, Your Highness.”
Peng Yu nodded repeatedly, he also considered this.
Peng Yu said, "Do you think that if Lao San proposes to join forces with me, should I agree?"
Li Xu said, "I can agree, but it depends on what conditions he offers. His Highness the Third is the only one among the seven kings who has the ability to compete with His Highness the Second. He must be coveting the position of the Supreme, so
Only then will I join forces with you, Your Highness, so Your Highness had better think carefully about what your Highness will do on that day if, with your help, the Third Highness knocks down the Second Highness."
Now, the biggest threat in front of the third child is the second child. Once Peng Yu helps Peng Ling and takes down Peng Kuan, then Peng Ling's family will dominate.
Peng Yu knew Peng Ling's character very well. He was hypocritical and virtuous.
But Peng Yu knew very well that his behavior was just a pretense, deliberately done for everyone to see.
Because of this, Peng Ling was known as the Wise King in the court and had great fame.
Therefore, in Peng Yu's view, even if that day comes, Peng Ling will not do anything to him. There is a high probability that after ascending to the supreme position, Peng Ling will send him to be a free and easy king.
Calculating it this way, Peng Yu would probably get nothing if he helped him with a lot of work.
Of course, if Peng Ling regards him as a threat, I'm sure he will suppress him overtly or covertly.
Peng Yu thought carefully for a moment and looked at Chen Muyu, who had been silent next to him, "Brother Yang, what do you think?"
Chen Muyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't want to express any opinions on this matter.
Before that, he would definitely support Peng Yu and fight for it.
