I try to plant the adventure rumours in the adventure, but have them all come from different sources (and not have one source feel like it must be followed). If I do use the "king asks for help", I have the king propose two or three different adventures, so the PCs don't feel forced into a particular hook.
I have a few "false" rumours, but they're really just adventure seeds for one or two encounters, and nothing more... that will eat up days better spent on downtime (I love 5th's downtime!)
So far, the adventures that I have prepped for "PCs will have to bite here" are Dwellers of the Forbidden City, Chadranthar's Bane (PCs get shrunk in a wayside garden!) and The Mud Sorcerer's Tomb (a nicer tomb of horrors!). Tsojanth is another possibility, but I'm not sure, as is Tamoanchan (my favourite adventure of all time).
