The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

The sun was shining and the weather was fine, but such good weather did not bring Liu Jiaojiao a good mood. She did not plan to go out today because something happened recently that made her feel bad. However, when the concierge came to deliver the message, she was still a little surprised and confused.

"Miss, the young master's servant is here and wants to see you."

"Oh? What is he here for?"

Liu Jiaojiao was puzzled and wondered why her cousin's servant suddenly came to see her.

"Well, did he tell me what he wanted from me?"

"The servant said that what the cousin promised last time was done."

Hearing this news, Liu Jiaojiao was stunned at first. She remembered what her cousin said last time, and then she felt an indescribable joy in her heart. If she could really deal with Jiang Li, it would really let her vent her anger. But soon, she calmed down and began to worry about the consequences.

She thought to herself: "Even though Jiang Li has been captured, the Xie family will definitely not let it go, and the Jiang family is even more so. And everyone in the capital knows how favored Jiang Li is..."

Thinking of this, Liu Jiaojiao frowned and hesitated. She was afraid of getting into unnecessary trouble, so she finally decided to let the servants pass on the message that she was not at home.

"Go tell the boy that I'm not here today."

After the old woman agreed, she went out to reply. After the servant heard what the old woman had said, a look of disappointment appeared on his face. But he did not dare to say anything more, and just nodded silently to show that he understood.

"Got it. I'll go back and report to the young master first."

After saying that, the servant turned around and quickly left the yard, heading out of the city. He couldn't help but feel sorry for the young master. He originally thought that he could take this opportunity to please Liu Jiaojiao, but he didn't expect that she would avoid him.

When the news of An Shi reached the Regent's Palace, the Dark Guard Camp exploded! An Er quickly ordered everyone to look for him. If something really happened, when the prince came back, none of them would be able to escape and would all be punished.

At the same time, the news was also sent to the Jiang Mansion. After receiving the news, Master Jiang did not tell Xie Lan, as he was worried that his daughter would be frightened. Thinking of his eldest son's injury, he simply did not tell his son, but went out of the mansion himself and went to the Xie Mansion to find his father-in-law. Fortunately, several sons of the Xie family were there. After learning about this, everyone decided to go to Huangjue Temple outside the city to find Jiang Bu. The group galloped away on fast horses. When Jiang Bu saw his father and grandfather, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty. After Xie Bian arrived at Huangjue Temple, he made new arrangements and started searching around Huangjue Temple.

Murongxue and Shi Liu kept searching deep in the mountains, but they didn't find any clues, so they had to keep going. Before they knew it, they were out of the mountains and arrived at a small mountain village. They didn't dare to enter the village rashly, so they quietly inquired about the situation around them. They were relieved after confirming that there was nothing unusual here. They discussed going to the next village to search, and at this moment, a soft voice called them.

"Sister, I saw a big bag. It's so big!"

When Shi Liu heard this, she was moved. What a heavy burden? Could it be...

"Little sister, tell me quickly. What kind of bag is it? How big is it?"

"Well, I don't know. That brother was carrying a big bag, and the other brother couldn't run!" The little girl blinked her eyes, looking very cute.

Shi Liu hurriedly asked: "Where are they going?"

The little girl pointed outside the village. Shi Liu quickly took out a piece of maltose from her pouch and handed it to her, then pulled Murong Xue to chase after her on the road outside the village.

"Miss Murong, did the little sister just talk about Miss?" Shi Liu looked at Murong Xue anxiously, her eyes full of worry.

Murong Xue frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. After a while, she slowly said, "I think so. Judging from the description of the little girl, Li'er was probably taken away by two men, and she may have lost consciousness at the time. As for the relationship between the two men, it can be inferred that they should be master and servant."

After hearing this, Shi Liu frowned even more tightly, and said anxiously, "If this is true, then could the master and servant live nearby? Also, how is the young lady now? Is she injured? Is it serious?"

Murong Xue patted Shi Liu's hand gently and consoled her, "Don't worry too much. Let's calm down and think of a solution. Since they are a master and a servant, they are likely to live nearby. We can try to find out if anyone around has seen these two people. Also, can you contact your people and ask them to help find Li Er's whereabouts?"

Shi Liu nodded. Murong Xue secretly guessed that there was indeed a big shot behind Shi Liu who was supporting them, and this big shot seemed to attach great importance to Jiang Li and even sent someone to protect her.

Shi Liu released another signal flare that only their secret guards knew about. An Er, who had just arrived at Huangjue Temple, saw it and took a few people to Shi Liu's location, leaving a few people to search nearby. Soon An Er came with his men. An Er was surprised to see Murong Xue. He stepped forward to greet her and called her General Murong. Murong Xue knew that they were not secret guards from an ordinary family, but might be from the royal family.

"Focus on investigating the nearby manor, and there are two men living there, a master and servant." Murong Xue didn't bother to be polite and gave him the order directly. An Er took the order and left.

Because this place is outside the city and close to Huangjue Temple, the nearby manors are almost all the manors of the ministers in the court. It is a bit difficult to check, but it is quite simple for An Er and his team. An Er rode back to the city and got the information of these manors from his own shop. Half an hour later, the information of these manors was delivered to Murong Xue, and Xie Ci also joined them.

"The Qin family? The Ding family? The Jiang family? The Liu family? The Lin family? Mr. Xu?..." Murong Xue read out the names of these Zhuangzi one by one, with a focused and serious expression. Xie Ci sat aside, listening quietly to every word, with no expression on his face, but his eyes were very sharp.

Shi Liu stood aside, also listening attentively. When she heard "the Qin family and Minister Liu", she suddenly remembered something and her heart was moved.

"Cousin, is this Madam Qin from the Qin Huai family? Was he the one involved in the case you investigated last time?" Shi Liu suddenly asked, staring at Xie Ci.

Xie Ci nodded slightly to show his approval. Shi Liu continued, "It seems that the Qin family and Minister Liu are most likely the place we are looking for."

Murong Xue's brows frowned even more tightly. She turned to look at Xie Ci. They looked at each other and saw doubt and worry in each other's eyes.

"And there is Minister Liu. The young lady and the concubine of the Liu family have never gotten along. Every time they meet, Liu Jiaojiao always looks like she has suffered a great deal of injustice. Moreover, Liu Jiaojiao's cousin once tried to tease the young lady, but was pierced through the palm by Changfeng. Do you think it could be one of their people?" The more Shi Liu thought about it, the more she felt that she had found the key clue, and her tone was full of affirmation.

Murong Xue and Xie Ci looked at each other and saw the same thought in each other's eyes.

"Go to Liu's farm!" The two spoke almost at the same time, their voices firm and decisive.

An Er remained silent, and now he also felt that Shi Liu was right.

The group didn't waste any more time and went straight to Liu's manor. Shi Liu and the secret guards were agile and climbed over the wall to enter the manor. The manor was very large, so they could only search carefully bit by bit. Murong Xue and Xie Ci chose to knock on the front door and try to enter from the front door.

The person who opened the door was an elderly man. Murong Xue and Xie Ci were dressed as a pair of siblings, their faces revealing fatigue and thirst. Murong Xue said softly, "Uncle, we have been traveling for a long time and are really thirsty. Can you give us a bowl of water?" The old man narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at them warily.

Today, the cousin did bring someone back with him, saying that his friend had drunk too much and needed to rest here, and he specifically told him not to talk too much. At this moment, a stranger suddenly appeared outside the door, and the old man felt a little alert.

"Who are you? This is a private manor, we don't welcome outsiders!" The old man said bluntly and prepared to close the door. Murong Xue and Xie Ci looked at each other quickly and took action at the same time. Murong Xue blocked the door that was about to close with one foot, and Xie Ci took the opportunity to slip into the manor. The old man opened his mouth in surprise and was about to shout, but Xie Ci chopped him on the back of his neck with a knife, and he fainted on the ground instantly. Xie Ci quickly dragged the old man to a dark place to hide him, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
