Chapter 286

In hirohara Shizi's residence, hirohara Shizi looked at the letter in his hand and was surprised.

"How could this be possible? The king of Xiang fell off a cliff and died. When did the news arrive? It's such a big event. Did you send someone to check it?"

The spy standing below nodded and said with great certainty: "this matter has been spread all over the country at present, and our spies in Fengzhou city also sent back news. King Xiang really fell off a cliff and his whereabouts are unknown."

"Missing?!" hirohara Shizi stood up and walked slowly to the open window. Looking at the banana leaves wet by the rain, he could not bear the heavy rain in recent days. Many of them were knocked to the ground and the scenery was no longer beautiful, "Our spy's news is that his whereabouts are unknown, but why is it that the king Xiang fell off the cliff and died? Which is true and which is false?"

The spy looked down and thought for a moment, then said cautiously: "My subordinates are not sure about this. However, a few days ago, my subordinates received a letter from the spies in Fengzhou City, which clearly mentioned that the king of Xiang just fell off the cliff and whether he died has not been determined. However, the news I received this time has been spread all over the country. His highness King Xiang fell off the cliff in the suburbs. Which one is true and which is false, and my subordinates don't know."

If it is true that the king of Xiang is just uncertain about his life and death, but at present, someone has ulterior motives to deliberately spread the news of the death of the king of Xiang, and can spread the news so quickly in just a few days, except that the crown prince's highness, who is at the height of the sun, is afraid he can't find a second one in the country. He spread the news so and so for only one purpose, All the officials who still had hope for the king died.

The king of Xiang had a good time in Fengzhou city. How could he suddenly fall off the cliff? This is even more strange. The king of Xiang has been in the army for many years. His riding skills are naturally very comparable. He even fell off the cliff in the suburbs of Beijing.

"You can find out how and where Xiang Wang fell off the cliff." thinking of this, the Shizi raised his eyes to the direction of the spy and asked.

"The spy mentioned that the king of Xiang made a mistake because he tracked a thief who hid official silver and chased him deep into the mountains. As for how to fall off the cliff, no one knows. Everyone guessed that it was a high mountain and a dangerous road. It was also a heavy rain and the mountain road was difficult to travel."

It so happened that at this time, the sword was already in tension in the Fengzhou city. Unexpectedly, at this time, there will be a thief hiding official silver. Is it a coincidence or someone deliberately? The son twisted his eyebrows and thought for a long time. Just then he said, "who is this so-called thief? Is it really hiding official silver?"

"Yes." the spy nodded, "The thief took the paper bound shop as a cover. In fact, the shop was a hiding place for the official silver. It was only because the shop caught fire accidentally and the official silver was discovered. The thief saw that the situation was wrong and quickly ran away. He was caught by people passing by King Xiang's residence. Then you chased me and dared to come outside the city. No one thought that he would fall off a cliff and cause trouble Great disaster. "

Xu Shaoyou thought about the spy's words repeatedly in his mind. The thief ran a paper shop and hid official silver in it. He must have colluded with others. Otherwise, how can a shopkeeper have such ability? At this time, he was found and happened to meet King Xiang. It seems that everything is reasonable.

After thinking about it, I don't have a clue.

Suddenly remembered that Yun Xueyao was still in the mansion at the moment, he hurriedly said, "don't spread this matter for the time being, especially the princess. Don't let the wind out."

"Yes, my subordinates understand." the spy nodded and bowed out of the yard.

Xu Shaoyou narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the continuous rain curtain in front of him, sighed deeply, and saw a servant hurrying from the door.

"Son of God, a flying pigeon sends a letter." the attendant took a letter out of his sleeve and handed it up with both hands.

Guangyuan Shizi hurriedly took it in his hand, read it carefully, thought for a moment in his mind, hurried to the desk behind him, quickly took out the map from it, and quickly unfolded in front of him.

……

On the winding mountain road, two tired figures were moving forward through the night. Looking at the Wanzhong mountain in front, they seemed to be getting higher and higher. The person walking in front suddenly stumbled at his feet and couldn't stand stably. He almost fell to the ground. The attendant behind him saw this and hurriedly took a step to help him with his arm: "Your Highness, are you all right? Is the wound on your body cracked?"

Xiangwang shook his head: "it's all skin injuries. It's not an obstacle. It's just that the mountain road is difficult and it's raining. It's too slow."

The attendants frowned slightly when they heard the speech: "Your Highness, don't worry. Although this road is difficult, it is the fastest way to Wuzhou. After crossing the mountains in front, you can see the lake."

"Wu lake?!" King Xiang frowned and thought carefully for a moment.

The other shook his head: "it's Guangling."

"Guangling?!" King Xiang's eyes brightened slightly when he heard the speech, and the fatigue on his face seemed to be relieved a lot at once.

"Yes." Xiang Wang nodded vaguely.

The entourage looked at the tired face of King Xiang and said, "Your Highness, we have been on our way for seven or eight hours. Why don't we take a break?"

King Xiang glanced at the entourage around him with a tired look on his face. He thought that there was still a long way to go. Now it was a long distance from Fengzhou city. It was OK to have a rest. He nodded and sat down on the stone.

The entourage on one side took a deep breath and stood nearby to guard against the movement. King Xiang leaned against the tree trunk next to him, closed his eyes and rested for a moment. Suddenly he thought of something and said, "have you seen anyone else on this mountain road except you often come on weekdays?"

Listening to his sudden question, the follower tightened his mind: "not good."

As soon as his voice fell, a cold arrow came out of the air. The attendant was quick in his eyes and hands. With one hand, he pulled the king of Xiang from the stone. While waving his sword, he would drop the cold arrow on the ground: "Your Highness, go quickly."

"Hum, your highness King Xiang, you're all right." as soon as the attendant's voice fell, several dark shadows suddenly appeared in all directions.

King Xiang sneered and glanced across the faces of the people: "Your Highness, you are really capable of spreading the news all over the Jianghu so quickly."

When the other party saw that the king of Xiang had broken the matter, he laughed: "Your Highness the king of Xiang really has a clear mind. Your Highness the prince can't hide his Highness the king of Xiang at all. No wonder your Highness the prince is so worried."

The entourage looked at the dark crowd in front of him and looked nervously vigilant about the movement around.

Compared with his entourage, King Xiang was much calmer. He slowly stood up straight and looked around: "Your Highness the prince has spread the news so quickly. I think everyone knows the news of the king's death on the cliff at the moment."

"What your highness Xiang said is very true." the other party sneered, "we just want to make this rumor true. Please don't have to struggle to death."

King Xiang sneered on his face when he heard the speech: "you are really boastful. Do you have the ability to win the king?"

The other party looked up and down at the speech, and the two masters and servants who were embarrassed in front of him were full of confidence: "Your Highness King Xiang, don't bother in vain. Today, I'm going to fix this ten thousand liang of gold."

"It seems that you are very confident, but unfortunately, many times, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment." Xiangwang's face did not change, looked at the ups and downs of the mountains in front of him, and said with a disdainful smile, "The king's youth joined the army. Over the years, there are countless people who want the king's life, both in the Jianghu and in the imperial court. It's a pity that these people have disappeared now, but the king is still standing here unharmed."

"It's useless for them." the man in black scoffed. While talking, he raised his long sword. "Let your highness see what our brothers can do today." then he waved his hand fiercely, "the prince has an order to take the head of the king of Xiang. There will be a lot of rewards."
