Chapter 288
When Qin Huaidao learned that Li Ke was taken captive to Jingzhou, he was both happy and worried.

Fortunately, after following Li Ke's trail for many days, there is finally a sign. What is worrying, Li Ke has already left Huainan. Although it is known that he may be heading for Jingzhou, it is not yet clear where Li Ke is. It is clear that if there is no trace of Li Ke in Jingzhou, then it will be difficult for him to find Li Ke.

After Qin Huaidao got the news, he sent people to Yangzhou to report the matter, and at the same time he couldn't wait for a moment, and took the elite guards from the right to go straight to Jiangling City, the seat of Jingzhou.

"Ah Lang, General Qin Huaidao, the eldest son of Duke Yi, is asking to see him outside the gate of the mansion."

Qin Huaidao was concerned about Li Ke's safety, and he did not stop for a moment when he went west, but the next night, he arrived at Jiangling City. The warrior Xun who had been busy working in the government office for a day had just arrived at the mansion to rest, and had not yet sat down. The slave then stepped forward to pass the word.

"Qin Huaidao? Why is he here?" Qin Huaidao is Li Ke's close friend and confidant, and Li Ke's disappearance, he should be the most anxious, looking around, but the samurai heard that he had arrived in Jingzhou at this time, how could he not shock.

The slave of the Wufu family replied: "General Qin only said that it is related to the matter of His Royal Highness King Chu, and I want to explain it face-to-face when I see Alang."

As Li Ke was involved, it was reasonable for Qin Huaidao to act carefully. Hearing this, the warrior Xun immediately said, "Even so, quickly invite General Qin to enter the mansion. I will wait in the side hall."

Qin Huaidao was originally the son of Duke Yi Qin Shubao, and Qin Shubao also had two friendships with the warrior Xun. When Qin Huaidao came to Jing, the warrior Xun had no reason to be negligent, not to mention that Qin Huaidao came to find Li Ke, holding the order in his hand, and the warrior Xun was even more That's it.

The servants of the Wu Mansion went out, but after a while, they led Qin Huaidao into the mansion.

Qin Huaidao entered the mansion with two right guards, followed the slaves of the Wu Mansion and went straight to the side hall, with hurried steps.

"The king of Chu is missing, and nephew Qin Xian is not looking for his driver in Huainan, so why come to Jingzhou when he has time?" The warrior Xun said to Qin Huai when he saw Qin Huaidao entering.

The samurai is old, and his seniority is half a generation older than Qin Shubao. To call Qin Huaidao a good nephew is a lowering of his seniority, and there is nothing wrong with Qin Huaidao.

Qin Huaidao replied: "The military governor needs to know, I found out yesterday that His Highness has been captured, and he may have arrived in Jingzhou, so I came here to find His Highness."

The warrior Xun was stunned when he heard Qin Huaidao's words.Li Ke was captured thousands of miles away in Chuzhou, how did he end up in Jingzhou?
The warrior Xun was full of surprise, but she raised her head to look at Qin Huaidao, seeing Qin Huaidao's appearance, but she didn't seem to be fake.

Samurai Xun's heart suddenly sank, and there was a trace of helplessness for no reason, these remnants of Xiao Liang also chose to oppose him, unexpectedly he did not go anywhere after capturing Li Ke, and came straight to Jingzhou where he was.

Moreover, the samurai Xun also thought of a more serious result. Jiangling was once the capital of Xiao Liang, and it was the key point of Xiao Liang. Now that these thieves have captured Li Ke and fled to Jiangling, does it mean that there are still them in the city of Jiangling? remaining potential.

Samurai Xun was originally a giant timber merchant in Bingzhou, and later relied on a large amount of money to support Li Yuan's army.If this news spreads to Chang'an, his warriors are at least a fault of lax supervision, fined salary and demoted, but if it is serious, dismissal is possible.

The warrior Xun asked: "Since General Qin knows that His Highness is in Jingzhou, how can he find a way to find it? Jingzhou is not like a remote frontier state. Jiangling City alone has tens of thousands of people. If there is no good method, it is no different to find one person." Finding a needle in a haystack."

Although Qin Huaidao came here in a hurry, he also thought about it on the way. Qin Huaidao replied: "I thought the most urgent thing is to seal off Jiangling City. No one can wait to leave the city, and then search all the shops in the city. Post up bulletins everywhere to find out, I only hope that His Highness is still in Jiangling City."

The fisherman saw that the boat carrying Li Ke was a merchant ship used by merchants, so most of those people hid in the city as merchants, and they might be able to find them by searching around for shops in the city.

It's just that the fisherman saw Li Ke's trail a few days ago. After calculating the time, the group of people who held Li Ke hostage should have arrived in Jiangling. If they were still in Jiangling City, they might still be found. Jiangling, that will be difficult.

"From now on, that's the only way to go. I'll order someone to arrange it immediately." Hearing Qin Huaidao's words, the warrior Xun seemed to be unable to think of any good ideas for a while, so he nodded in agreement.

----------------

In the governor's mansion of Jingzhou, Qin Huaidao was discussing with the samurai Xun about finding Li Ke. At this time, the remnants of Liang Liang hiding in Jiangling City also got the news immediately.

In the south of the most lively part of Jiangling City, there is a quiet courtyard here. It doesn't look very conspicuous, but it is one of the most important strongholds in Jiangling City.

"My lady, the news came from the Jiangling government office overnight." Outside the gate of the other courtyard, Qing'er, Xiao Yuexian's maid, held a letter in her hand, and quickly walked into the inner room from the door, facing Xiao Yue who was about to rest in the room. Immortal.

A few days ago, the big boat that Li Ke was on was sunk by bandits in the Honghu Lake. Under the guard of his servants, Xiao Yuexian took a small boat and returned to the shore. Since Xiao Yuexian came ashore, in order to find Li Ke's trace, he lived in Jiangling City. The stronghold has been here until today.

Xiao Yuexian looked at Qing'er who hurriedly entered the door, and knew in his heart that it must be an important matter, if not, there would be no reason for the Jiangling government office to spread the news overnight.

Xiao Yuexian took the letter from Qing'er, and only glanced at it roughly, but his face suddenly darkened.

"Lady, what happened?" Qing'er saw that Xiao Yuexian's expression was a little strange, so she asked.

Xiao Yuexian replied: "Qin Huaidao has arrived in Jiangling."

"What is he doing here! Could it be that he came to take ours?" Qing'er felt uneasy after hearing Xiao Yuexian's words.

Xiao Yuexian shook his head and said: "Qin Huaidao came here to find Li Ke's trace, the list has already been distributed, I'm afraid it should be posted everywhere tomorrow."

"Looking for Li Ke? Didn't Li Ke escape in Honghu Lake while taking advantage of the chaos?" Qing'er asked puzzled.

What Qing'er asked was exactly what Xiao Yuexian was worried about. Xiao Yuexian paused for a moment, and said to Qing'er: "Li Ke just took advantage of the chaos to injure our people and jumped into the lake to escape, but Honghu Lake is wide and the boat The sinking place is still some distance away from the shore of the lake, I'm afraid Li Ke may not have swum back to the shore."

Qin Huaidao came all the way to Jiangling, and put up posters everywhere with great fanfare, in order to find the trace of Li Ke, but Li Ke had clearly slipped away from the boat and was not in their hands, so it can be seen that Qin Huaidao didn't know Li Ke was there. Where, there is naturally only one possibility that caused the current situation, that is, although Li Ke escaped, but failed to return to the shore, otherwise, if Li Ke really escaped from birth, how could Qin Huaidao search for people everywhere.

"Mistress, do you mean that Li Ke was drowned in the lake?" Qing'er thought for a while, and it seemed that there was only one possibility, so she said to Xiao Yuexian.

After hearing Qing'er's words, Xiao Yuexian was silent for a while. Li Ke was captured, and she certainly did her best, but she never thought that Li Ke's life was really taken.But judging from the current situation, Li Ke probably drowned on the lake, and died in Huangquan.

Although there is a hatred of the country and the family, but when Xiao Yuexian's familiar face appeared in his mind, he couldn't feel happy in his heart.
