Chapter 284

Then he didn't dare to say more. Xie Yao threw his sleeves hard and ran out of the door.

He didn't dare to delay all the way. He hurried all the way to Xiangwang's residence and entered the yard. The guards in the yard saw Xie Yao in a hurry with a slightly confused complexion.

"Your Highness is in the mansion. How is it now?" Xie Yao grabbed a bodyguard and asked anxiously as soon as he entered the inner courtyard.

Seeing his incoherent words, the guard said with a frightened look: "Your Highness is naturally in the mansion. Thank you, general. What's the matter with you?"

Xie Yao was puzzled and couldn't take care of the bodyguard. As soon as he was about to walk into the main hall, he heard a familiar voice from afar: "Xie Yao

The other party quickly raised his head, but saw the Xiang king who had not seen for several days. He was standing at the gate of the main hall in an indigo long shirt and looked at himself. He seemed to be safe and sound. He was a little stunned. Then he was relieved: "Your Highness, are you all right?"

"What can I do for the king in this palace? It's you. Didn't you say to check in the mansion? Why did you suddenly come back today." King Xiang crossed the threshold and looked at him up and down, as if he was puzzled.

Xie Yao, hearing the speech, only slightly restrained the tension on his face, but hurriedly went straight to the theme: "Your Highness, your subordinates heard that there were assassins in yesterday's residence? But it's true?"

"Oh, it's just a few spies who spy on the news. They say they are assassins. It's a little flattering." Xiang Wang said softly.

"It's really just a few spies. Your highness wasn't hurt." Xie Yao seemed worried and asked.

King Xiang looked at him with a smile and said, "don't tell me. You hurried back to the palace for this matter?"

It turned out that there were only a few spies. It was rumoured that King Xiang was assassinated yesterday. What the hell was going on? Xie Yao immediately came and naturally wanted to find out his doubts: "Your Highness knows that it is rumoured that your highness was assassinated yesterday. His life and death are uncertain."

King Xiang looked at a group of high-ranking bodyguards and looked at him. The bodyguard slightly twisted his eyebrows and arched his hands and said, "my subordinates did hear this rumor today. Unexpectedly, the news of the state city spread so fast."

As soon as the bodyguard said this, the Xiang king and Xie Yao looked at each other. Although the Xiang king was assassinated, it was really not a small matter in the Fengzhou City, but there were some royal relatives and relatives in the Fengzhou city. Why did it spread so quickly just about the Xiang palace? It seemed that someone had planned it.

Thinking about it, the king of Xiang waved to the bodyguard, and the bodyguard's eyes fell back.

Xiangwang and Xie Yao entered the main hall tacitly, sat down on one chair and paused briefly. Xiangwang looked up at Xie Yao and said, "what do you think of the assassination of the king?"

Xie Yao, who had been thinking about the matter in his mind, nodded when he heard the speech and came forward: "Your Highness, this matter is really strange. Although his subordinates haven't figured out the purpose of this matter and why there are sudden rumors, he always felt that there must be a secret behind this matter."

Xiangwang Wen Yan on the other side also frowned. He raised his eyes and took a deep look at him. He took out a letter from one drawer and handed it to Xie Yao. He said, "look at this man first. Do you recognize him?"

Xie Yao took it in his hand suspiciously and looked at it carefully: "isn't this man shopkeeper Wang?"

"Shopkeeper Wang?!" Xiangwang's mouth tilted slightly. "How much do you know about this man?"

Seeing the master's words, Xie Yao suddenly raised it in his heart. After a little sorting in his mind, he reopened his mouth and said, "it's just a shopkeeper my father dealt with on the other side of the South Street. He opened a paper shop. His subordinates also sent someone to investigate. Just like what he found, this man was a forbidden guard before. Later, he had to leave because of an injury."

Speaking of this, he paused briefly and then said, "Your Highness has a portrait of this man in his hand. Is it not that he has a problem?"

"This man was once and now the forbidden guards, and he did open a paper shop on the South Street, specializing in the business of the dead. However, I found that this man had been in frequent contact with the crown prince recently." King Xiang nodded, looked at the portrait and reminded me.

"Shopkeeper Wang has dealings with the crown prince?" Xie Yao obviously didn't find it here. He was surprised to hear what Xiang Wang said.

King Xiang was not surprised by his surprised attitude: "yes, this thing was discovered by chance. Later, after careful exploration, he found that the relationship between the king's shopkeeper and the prince must not be as simple as that between the guest and the shopkeeper."

This man is the one who opened the funeral shop in South Street, and his business is good. When his father went to South Street this time, he decided to set up his shop and do some things. This man, who has close contact with the crown prince, thought of the relationship between these things. Xie Yao only felt cold sweat behind his back.

These people beat around the bush like this. They want to use their father to attack Xie's house.

In Xie's residence, I must have alerted these people after my father investigated his whereabouts for several days. That's why I designed the drama of the assassination of King Xiang, and then quickly spread the assassination all over the city. They are sure that they will return to King Xiang's residence after they know the news.

As long as you transfer yourself from the Xie house, your grandfather is seriously ill, and your father is reckless and simple, which is a great opportunity to pull out the Xie house.

Thinking of this, Xie Yao shuddered, took a deep breath and said, "it seems that this assassination was specially designed for his subordinates. Unfortunately, they are more and more eager to cover up."

Seeing that Xie Yao had thought thoroughly, King Xiang also stood up slowly: "yes, so these days, there are more spies around the palace than before."

Xie Yao was surprised when he heard the speech, closed his eyes and sighed, "it's your subordinates who have implicated your highness."

"In the eyes of the crown prince, Xie's house and King Xiang's house have long been connected. This time, I started to attack Xie's house just to cut my right arm first. Can't you understand this truth?" King Xiang shook his head and analyzed.

Both of them paused slightly. Xie Yao thought for a moment and spoke first: "that is, they have successfully deceived their subordinates back to the palace. The purpose has been achieved. Will the spies around leave here?"

"I don't think it will be so fast." Wang Xiang frowned. "The matter of South Street is still brewing. The prince's goal has not been achieved. How can he give up the surveillance of the palace so soon."

"Your Highness is right." Xie Yao said. "At present, the Royal Palace is under their surveillance. If we take another action on the South Street, I'm afraid it will disturb them, but if we don't continue to investigate, what conspiracy they are brewing is unknown."

For Xie Yao's worry, King Xiang's mouth tilted slightly and seemed confident: "if you and I go to investigate this matter, people will find that it is difficult to have results. However, this matter is already suspicious. If they want to succeed in the conspiracy, it will not be so easy."

Xie Yao felt uneasy.

Not far away came the sound of spies' footsteps. They lifted their eyes and looked in the direction of the door.

"Your Highness, Qilin Zhai, Yu Linglong and the shopkeepers of several shops have come. They are all waiting in the front hall. Your highness, can you go and see what they have brought?"

The spy came forward and said to the king of Xiang.

"Even though I invited them to come, I naturally want to choose them." King Xiang nodded with a smile when he heard the speech. "Please wait a moment, shopkeepers. After I change my clothes, I will go right away."

"Yes," said the spy, bowing his hands.

Here, Xie Yao, who was puzzled by some monks in law, paused and said suspiciously, "Your Highness, what are you doing inviting these shopkeepers to the mansion?"

"I invited these shopkeepers to come. Naturally, I wanted to choose some suitable gifts." Xiangwang looked pale and straightened the folds on his sleeve. Then he raised his feet and walked towards the door without waiting for Xie Yao to speak.
