The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 165 Jiang Li is in trouble

"Shi Liu, something's happened to the young lady!" A cold shout suddenly sounded, interrupting the conversation between Jiang Bu and Murong Xue. Upon hearing this, everyone present stood up instantly, with a surge of uneasiness in their hearts.

Shi Liu's eyes widened, staring at the dark guard angrily, and asked anxiously, "An Shi, what happened? How could something happen to the young lady? Haven't you been protecting her in secret?"

Jiang Bu and Murong Xue's faces also turned gloomy. They looked at the secret guard nervously, waiting for his explanation.

Murong Xue took a deep breath, tried to stay calm, and asked, "Where did you lose Li'er? Tell me now!"

The secret guard lowered his head and answered with a guilty look on his face: "Just now, the young lady went to the main hall to burn incense. I thought that there were too many people inside and I was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so I waited in the dark outside the door. But after a long time, the young lady did not come out. I began to feel that something was wrong, so I went in to look for her. However, I looked around and still couldn't find the young lady."

The secret guard's voice was full of self-blame and regret. He knew very well that his negligence could lead to serious consequences.

Murong Xue thought seriously, scanning the surrounding environment, and then she gave an order to Shi Liu: "Shi Liu, you go to the main hall again and search every corner carefully; Third Young Master, you are responsible for searching near the main hall and don't miss any clues; Yuan Bao, you also need to search the peach forest here, An Shi, you go to the mountain gate to see if you can find any clues; and I will go to the bamboo forest to look. If anyone finds the target, they can immediately fire a flare to notify others." Then, Murong Xue turned to look at Shi Liu and asked in a firm tone: "You all carry flares with you, right?"

Pomegranate nodded vigorously, indicating that he understood the mission, and at the same time took out a flare from his arms and handed it to everyone.

Everyone went in all directions to look for Jiang Li. Before going to the bamboo forest, Murong Xue went to the monk's quarters of the abbot and stated her identity and purpose. After hearing about this, the abbot immediately promised to send someone to search quietly. So, the monks in the temple also joined the search team, but they all acted quietly and did not dare to cause too much noise. However, the number of people was still much higher than usual.

At the same time, Jiang Li fell into a coma, and her body lay horizontally on the trap, with only a round head exposed. If Jiang Li woke up at this moment, she would be surprised to find that the person standing in front of her was Jin Cheng, whose palm she had pierced.

"Little bitch, I finally waited for you again!" Jin Cheng gritted his teeth and said. He ordered the servant beside him to bring Jiang Li up and wrap her in a cloak. The master and servant carefully went down the mountain from the other side. Jin Cheng had been here for nearly three months and knew the terrain of the mountains near Huangjue Temple very well. Because he was afraid of meeting too many people through the main gate, he decided to take the risk and climb over from the back mountain.

When Jiang Li came here, he had already noticed it. So he quickly sent a servant to follow her quietly, waiting for the right time to come. Finally, Jiang Li walked into the mountains alone, which made him secretly happy. However, what he didn't expect was that Jiang Li was so bold that she dared to go to such a dangerous place alone. However, this was a great opportunity for him. Originally, he planned to knock her out and bring her back, but he didn't expect Jiang Li to have bad luck and fall into the trap directly. Haha, God really helps me! Now, he only needs to take her away easily, without having to work hard to deal with her. All this happened so smoothly, as if it was specially arranged by God.

The two of them walked in the mountains for nearly an hour before they finally arrived at the farm that Aunt Jin had prepared for him.

Jincheng looked at the village in front of him, full of expectations. Although it was not as prosperous as the capital, it had a peaceful and free atmosphere.

As soon as he entered the manor, Jincheng immediately asked the servant to go to the city to inform Liu Jiaojiao. After all, he had promised his cousin to punish this woman. He knew that only in this way could he let his cousin vent his anger and also relieve his mood.

Jin Cheng sat in the manor, quietly waiting for news. He imagined Liu Jiaojiao's reaction after hearing the news, and a sense of pride welled up in his heart. He believed that as long as he took action, his cousin would be very happy.

Shi Liu searched the hall twice, but she didn't see Jiang Li. She knew she couldn't delay any longer and had to find the young lady as soon as possible. So Shi Liu decisively left the hall and began to look for other places.

Shi Liu knew that if someone wanted to kidnap the young lady, the main hall would not be a good choice because there were too many people there. So, where would the young lady go? After thinking it over, Shi Liu felt that the peach forest was unlikely, after all, to enter the peach forest, one must first pass through the pavilion. In this way, there were only two ways left to choose: going down the mountain or going up the mountain.

An Shi was already guarding the way down the mountain, and this road was the only way down the mountain, but there were many people coming and going on this road, and it was difficult for the thief to take the young lady away without being discovered. The bamboo forest that Miss Murong went to was on the way up the mountain. Although the road there was rugged and difficult to walk, it was a great place to hide people. Therefore, Shi Liu judged that the thief was likely to take the young lady up the mountain, and there were almost no people on this road, so it was relatively safe and would not be easily discovered by others.

Shi Liu quickly analyzed the current situation in her mind. She made a prompt decision and chased in the direction of the bamboo forest. She believed that she would be able to find the young lady's trace.

She walked out of the hall and saw the Third Young Master standing on the ground outside the hall, looking around anxiously. She quickly quickened her pace and came to Jiang Bu.

"Is there any news about the Third Young Master?" Jiang Bu shook his head helplessly, indicating that he had no clues.

"Then I will go to the bamboo forest to look for Miss Murong." Shi Liu said firmly. Then, she turned to look at Jiang Bu and said, "You can guard the way down the mountain. If anyone dares to take Miss away openly, this will be the only way for them to leave. In addition, please find An Shi as soon as possible and ask him to mobilize enough people to search the nearby manors." At this moment, Shi Liu no longer cared about the difference between master and servant and the status of the people, and directly expressed her inner thoughts.

After listening to her words, Jiang Bu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Then he immediately turned around and walked down the mountain, ready to do what Shi Liu said.

Shi Liu saw Murong Xue going to look for Jiang Li, so she followed him. Murong Xue was quicker and entered the bamboo forest one step ahead, but after searching the entire bamboo forest, she did not find Jiang Li. At this time, Shi Liu also caught up here.

"Ms. Murong, have you found anything?" Shi Liu asked anxiously. Murong Xue shook her head, indicating that she had found nothing either.

"I think we should go deep into the mountains to look for it?" Murong Xue suggested. Shi Liu thought about it and decided not to hesitate any longer. The two of them immediately walked into the mountains. After walking for nearly half an hour, they suddenly found a basket next to a trap.

"Miss, Miss, are you down there?" Shi Liu anxiously ran to the trap and shouted her mistress's name. However, there was silence in the trap, and no response came. Shi Liu's heart tightened, and she jumped into the trap without hesitation.

However, when she fell to the bottom of the trap, she was surprised to find that there was no one inside, only some messy footprints and a little blood. Her heart sank immediately, realizing that the situation might be worse than she thought. Pomegranate quickly climbed to the ground, her face as pale as paper.

"Ms. Murong, my daughter is not inside. She must have accidentally fallen into a trap and got hurt. But who took her away now?" Shi Liu's voice was trembling, and her eyes were full of worry and fear. She looked around, trying to find clues, but there was nothing around except mountains and forests, and it was completely silent.

Murong Xue looked at Shi Liu's anxious expression and calmly thought about the situation. She carefully observed the environment around the trap and found obvious traces of footprints, which made her think that the other party might have taken Li Er away.

"Li'er was injured and taken away by someone, but he definitely didn't go down the mountain, otherwise it would be impossible for no one to see him. So there is only one possibility that the other party went deep into the mountains behind, and he might have bad intentions." Murong Xue frowned and said in a firm tone. Her eyes were cast towards the deep mountains behind her.

Upon hearing this, Shi Liu also looked towards the deep mountains, with a flash of fear in her eyes. She knew that there were many unknown dangers hidden in the deep mountains. If the young lady was really taken into the mountains, the consequences would be disastrous. Murong Xue gritted her teeth and decided to go deep into the mountains to find Li Er's whereabouts. She held the sword tightly in her hand, ready to meet the upcoming challenge.
