The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 378 Leaving a Mark

"My lord, he is still alive." Changyun said solemnly.

Mu Jiuchen frowned, his eyes flashing with a cold light, and he said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and think of a way to wake them up." Before he finished speaking, An Si, who had been hiding in the dark, walked forward in a proper manner. He first took An Er's pulse with skillful movements, and then gently opened his eyelids to take a closer look. Then, as if by magic, he took out a small and exquisite white porcelain bottle from his arms, immediately opened the bottle cap, and put the bottle mouth to An Er's nose to let him smell it. In an instant, An Er, who was originally unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were a little confused at first, but when he saw the people around him clearly, especially when he looked up at Mu Jiuchen's cold and majestic face, he suddenly woke up.

An Si followed suit, placing the porcelain bottle in his hand under the noses of Shi Liu and Chun Tao and shaking it a few times. Not long after, the two woke up one after another. After regaining consciousness, An Er and Shi Liu did not dare to delay for a moment, and struggled to get up. They both knelt in front of Mu Jiuchen, lowered their heads, and pleaded in unison with a guilty look on their faces: "Master, please forgive us! We are incompetent and failed to protect the young lady, causing her to be kidnapped by the bad guys. Please punish us!"

Mu Jiuchen's face was as gloomy as water, and his deep eyes stared coldly at the people kneeling on the ground, with no intention of asking them to stand up. At this moment, he suddenly asked another question, his voice so cold that it seemed to freeze the air: "Have you seen any other characteristics of these men in black?"

At the same time, Chang Yun was carefully examining the bodies of the lifeless men in black. He frowned slightly, and his eyes swept over the bodies sharply, not missing any clues. After a moment, he stood up, walked to Mu Jiuchen, and said in a low voice: "Master, judging from the figures and clothes of these people, they must be Jin people. In addition, according to the wheel marks left at the scene, they seem to have split into multiple groups and fled in different directions."

Changyun stretched out his hand carefully, and in his palm he was tightly holding a pink pearl that was emitting charming light.

"Master, found this in the woods."

Seeing this, Mu Jiuchen hurriedly stepped forward, took the pearl from Changyun's hand, and gently held it in his broad and strong palm. When the pearl touched his palm, a wonderful feeling came to his heart, making him frown slightly and fall into deep thought. Because of his years of experience and understanding of Jiang Li, he keenly realized that this was most likely an important signal that Jiang Li had deliberately left behind.

Thinking of this, Mu Jiuchen immediately turned his head to look at the people on standby behind him, and gave an order with a serious face: "Send people out immediately to carefully track the area within a five-mile radius around the bead! Do not miss any clues! Even if it is just a tiny footprint or a broken branch, you must investigate it thoroughly!" As his voice fell, a group of well-trained men acted quickly, rushing in all directions like arrows, and began an intense and orderly search.

"Yes. What about the posthouse?" Changyun asked tentatively.

Mu Jiuchen's face became more gloomy, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Wanyan Yi, this thief with a heart of evil! How dare he be so bold and reckless. Changfeng, immediately take people to surround the inn and arrest everyone inside. Don't let any of them go!"

Chang Feng heard this and nodded without hesitation, "Yes, sir!" Then, he took out a green flare from his arms and pulled the fuse hard. With a "whoosh" sound, a green light shot straight into the sky. Then, he waved his hand and led several men to rush towards the city like an arrow from a bow. It was obvious that before this, they had already made all the preparations and could act quickly as long as Mu Jiuchen gave the order.

In this way, the group split into several groups and rushed in different directions, launching a tense and fierce pursuit operation. At the same time, the Jiang family and the Xie family also learned of this shocking news. They immediately sent a large number of people to launch a strict search around.

"Cousin, who do you think kidnapped cousin Li'er? Could it be that the hateful guy from last time came here to take revenge?" Xie Ci asked anxiously, and the scene when Li'er was taken away by Jincheng last time involuntarily emerged in his mind.

Jiang Xing frowned, thought for a moment and said, "I don't think it's him. He can barely protect himself now, so I'm afraid he doesn't have the courage and energy to provoke us again. However, this is just my speculation, and we have to wait until we find more clues to be sure."

"What should we do? What if we can't find cousin Li'er?" Xie Ci stamped his feet anxiously.

Jiang Xing patted his shoulder and consoled him, "Don't worry, let's go to the north of the city to look for the regent. He is in a high position and has a lot more information than we do. Maybe we can get some useful clues from him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xing jumped onto his horse, whipped his horse whip, and galloped towards the north of the city. Seeing this, Xie Ci also got on the horse without hesitation and followed Jiang Xing closely. The two of them disappeared at the end of the road like two flashes of lightning.
