Chapter 704 Misfortunes Never Come Alone

The escape of the man in black cast a shadow on Liu Xiu's mood. Everything went smoothly, just one last blow, saying a thousand and ten thousand, but it was because he did not focus on his practice, which led to the man in black being able to escape from him again while hurting him.

Liu Xiu, who had always felt invincible, and even felt that he had the capital to enjoy the advantages brought by his intelligence and comprehensive strength, no longer had to go barely. Liu Xiu, who was more than a man, suddenly woke up. He suddenly understood why for thousands of years, whether it was a peaceful and prosperous era or a chaotic era, whether the emperor in power was a powerful Emperor Wu of Han or a confused Wang Mang, they could not eliminate the Rangers class. No matter how powerful the state machine was, it was people who performed the national functions. Once ordinary people encountered these monsters that had been used for the lifelong purpose of cultivating (third update, please vote for monthly votes), they often had no power to fight back.

Last time he was seriously injured by the skinny and thin practitioner at the foot of Tang Shu Mountain. This time, the man in black escaped under heavy troops. Liu Xiu recognized the power of these practitioners. He began to turn his attention to the swordsman who rarely appeared in official history, and the less well-known practitioners.

At the same time, Liu Xiu wrote a letter from his family, urgently reporting to King Liu Yuanqi of Chu, asking him to pay attention to his safety. He knew that although Liu Yuanqi was not visible to the mountains or water, his cultivation was not bad, and there were a few Taoist priests like Zuo Ci, among them, extraordinary martial arts masters. However, facing opponents like the man in black, even martial arts masters are difficult to reassure even if they are martial arts masters.

In the first month of the fifth year of Zhongping, Liu Xiu's anxious waiting became longer, and every day seemed to be stretched countless times. The happy laughter of the children could not dispel the dark clouds in Liu Xiu's heart, but instead made him feel the heavy pressure on his shoulders. Liu Xiu was in a bad mood, and the atmosphere in the entire Chu Prince's Mansion became depressed. Liu He, Liu An and others walked lightly, and only Tang Yingzi was careless and indifferent. She patted her chest and said, although the Taoist art was amazing, (third update, please give me a monthly vote) was the heart-breaking curse she sent by the green ox horns, and was so seriously injured, and it was already a lucky chance to not die. The possibility of another incident in the short term was basically zero. But Liu Xiu was still worried. He felt that Tang Yingzi was a little crazy, just like her mother, and was a little heartless.

The only one who was really happy in the entire Chu Palace seemed to be Tang Yingzi and his daughter. Seeing the mother and daughter who were like twin sisters running around in the Chu Palace all day long, it was as happy as the New Year - the only two of them in the entire Chu Palace are really doing the New Year, Liu Xiu felt that sometimes it was a good thing to be crazy and stupid.

Just as Liu Xiu was waiting uneasyly, no news came from Luoyang, but a bad news came from Chengdu: Zhang Lu was missing.

Zhang Lu is nineteen years old and has been practicing in Huming Mountain for many years. He has the Taoist Techniques in the Ring. Zhang Lu's progress is not slow, but due to qualifications, his progress is not outstanding. Considering that as the next generation of celestial masters, he must have the ability to convince people, Mrs. Lu has never been willing to let him appear in front of believers too early. The original plan was to wait until he was twenty years old before performing the crown ceremony. Then the Chu Palace asked the emperor for instructions and formally entrust it to the emperor, and use the power of the court to preach, so as to increase his authority.

Liu Xiu frowned, his heartbeats like a drum, his ears buzzed, and the stars in front of him were circling, and everything in front of him became blurred. Even Yu Feng's voice became erratic, sometimes it seemed to be roaring in his ears, and sometimes it seemed to be in the sky.

"General, General." Yu Fan was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to support him and called out loud. After a while, Liu Xiu calmed down and barely sat down with cold sweat on his face. He said hoarsely: "Zhongxiang, tell me the whole thing, and you will not miss it at all."

"Here." Yu Fan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Liu Xiu's face was pale but his words were still organized. He sat opposite Liu Xiu, poured Liu Xiu a cup of hot tea first, handed it to him with both hands, and then talked about the incident.

During the first lunar month, Liu Yuanqi, the King of Chu who helped the emperor solve the economic crisis, was incredible for a while and was honored as the leader of all kings. Whenever the emperor had a gathering, he would be the best place to go, and he would follow him whenever he traveled. On the 18th day of the first lunar month, the emperor would climb the Songgao Mountain to pray for blessings, and the King of Chu would also follow him. When climbing the main peak of Taishi Mountain, only King of Chu Liu Yuanqi had the honor to pray to the heaven and earth with the emperor.

However, the problem lies in this honor. When they went up there were two people, and when they came down, there were only one person left: the pale face and tears on his face, the King of Chu Liu Yuanqi disappeared. The little emperor was so scared that he was sobbing that he couldn't cry. It took him a long time to make it clear that Liu Yuanqi accidentally fell off the cliff.

When he heard this news, Yu Fan was so scared that he was half-hearted. The reason why he dared to let Liu Yuanqi go up with the little emperor was because he knew that Liu Yuanqi was hidden and did not dare to say that he was arrogant in the world with his martial arts, but those two moves of the little emperor were definitely not his opponent. As long as Liu Yuanqi was not careless, it would not be so easy for the little emperor to plot against him, let alone the two of them went up. If something happened to Liu Yuanqi, the little emperor could not clear himself. No matter from any angle, Liu Yuanqi would not have any accident.

But something happened to Liu Yuanqi, and he fell from the shore. As for the reason he was really careless, no one could tell clearly. Yu Fan did not dare to be negligent at that time, so he went up to the cliff to check. At the top of the cliff, he saw what the little emperor said about his mistakes, and tied them down with a rope to check. At the bottom of the cliff, he did see traces of someone rolling down and blood, but he could not find Liu Yuanqi's body. All the traces disappeared in a rapids. Judging from all the clues left on the scene, Liu Yuanqi should have died in the water, and his body was washed downstream by the water.

The water flows downstream, with several waterfalls of varying sizes, and countless deep pools. Under the double rewards of the little emperor and Yu Fan, the accompanying warriors and nearby hunters went out together. After three days of searching, they finally saw a corpse by a small river more than five miles away. Although the corpse was incomplete, especially the face was gnawed by wild beasts in the mountains, it can be judged from the costumes of the corpse that this was undoubtedly Liu Yuanqi, the King of Chu.

After confirming Liu Yuanqi's death, Yu Fan did not dare to neglect it. On the one hand, he sent someone back to Luoyang Chu Palace to deliver the letter, and on the other hand, he rushed to Jiangling to report the letter.

"Are you sure it is the body of your father?" Liu Yuanqi's eyes turned red.

"Yeah." Yu Fan nodded vigorously: "Although the princess has not been confirmed by it, I have carefully asked the princess several personal guards around him, and they all decided that this was the king."

Liu Xiu stood up shakingly and smiled at the sky: "Sure enough, a good method was made. With a slight push, he pushed everything away."

Yu Feng browsed and locked his eyebrows: "General, you mean..."

"Who else can I have except him?" Liu Xiu sneered: "It is precisely because you think it is impossible that he is the most suspicious of this matter. I don't believe that my father has been walking in the dark for a lifetime, and he has no caution at all. It's a pity that he has passed so many storms and waves, but he finally overturned the ship in the gutter. The gutter is indeed a gutter that hides dirt. What else in this world is dirtier and smellier than a person who blinds power... The third time is up, I will update 10,000 words for monthly tickets!
