Stolen Skyfrost Grass? Qu Ling suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Things in the mansion were stolen, and what was stolen was this precious medicine.

Forget about her, why didn't Murong Yan who was always well-informed hear anything about her?

Seeing that she did not believe him, Li Chenxuan slowly said, "It was indeed stolen, there is no need for me to lie to you."

Seeing her confusion, he explained, "When I saw the thief that night, he was already standing by the manor wall and leaping out. When I summoned my men to investigate, he had already disappeared. "Later on, when we checked the storage room, we realized that the Heavenly Frost Grass was lost."

Qu Ling frowned, "You placed the heavenly frost grass in the warehouse?"

Li Chenxuan laughed: "That thing is useless to me, so it can't be considered as precious. I will naturally leave it in the warehouse."

It was because of this reason that he didn't send anyone after the Thief when he knew he couldn't catch him. He only increased the guards of the manor.

As a result, almost no one knew that Minister of War Palace had ever been robbed before.

It was not a glorious matter in the first place, if Qu Ling had not asked him about it today, he would not have taken the initiative to tell others.

Qu Ling asked again, "How do you know that the Heavenly Frost Grass is useless against you?"

He had heard from Murong Yan that the Heavenly Frost Grass that Huo Xinyi had bought was only a tiny stalk. If Li Chenxuan had tried it out, how could he still have been stolen by a thief?

Li Chenxuan shook her head and replied: "No need to try. Aunt Huo and I are not allowed to touch the Heavenly Winter Grass.

One didn't even need to think to know that it was impossible to use something that one couldn't touch or smell.

Aunt Huo had told him to throw it away, but he thought it was something she had bought and left in the storeroom.

Who would have thought that they would be targeted by the thieves? They even stole it so quietly that they had no way of detecting it.

After Qu Ling heard this, he began to ponder.

She had always felt that the Gu on their bodies was evil, but she never expected it to be so evil.

The things in her body could make the Jade Scorpion and the Gu in Xiao Jingyue's body fidget, but Li Chenxuan was safe and sound.

As for the Heavenly Frost Grass, she had asked her grandma and her grandma had also said that it was useful to Xiao Jingyue.

Her grandma would definitely not lie to her, but it was not good for her to go to Li Chenxuan's side.

How strange.

The mutation of something that was cultivated by humans was truly extraordinary.

Because Qu Ling had not fully recovered from his injuries, Li Chenxuan did not want to disturb her for too long, so he got up and took his leave.

Qu Ling looked at his back, and wanted to say something.

She wanted him to treat Li Ning'er better, but after thinking about it, in the end, he still didn't say anything.

Firstly, she had no stance, and secondly, Li Ning'er had never said that Li Chenxuan was not good for her, so it wouldn't be appropriate for her to say those words.

Just as Li Chenxuan walked out of the courtyard, a Dark Guard suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Young master, General Xiao led the troops and surrounded the manor. Master has requested for your return immediately."

Li Chenxuan's face suddenly changed.

After saving his emotional enemy last night, Xiao Jingyue could not bother to chase after Rong Xi who had escaped, and led his people to continue searching for Qu Ling's location in the city.

For the entire night, he did not close his eyes.

After daybreak, they didn't even go to the imperial court early in the morning, but instead sent people to deliver letters to the Prime Minister Mansion. They asked the Prime Minister Jiang to help them ask for a leave of absence from the Emperor before continuing their search.

It did not matter if they were searching the residence or not. Regardless of whether they had offended anyone, they were ready to turn the capital city upside down.

Fortunately, the heavens did not let him turn the capital over.

Because it was early in the morning, Xiao Yi brought a person back.

The man was a fortune-teller, also known as a charlatan.

When he saw General Xiao, even though he was afraid and even his legs were trembling, he forced himself to say what he had seen.

It turned out that after he had done the divination for the person yesterday, he was just about to find a place to get out of the situation when he entered an alley.

Then, he saw a carriage stop in the middle of the alley. Someone on top of the carriage came down and carried the woman who was lying on the ground up.

Aside from fortune-telling, he was the kind of person who was most interested in gossip. Thus, he hid himself and took a few more glances.

When he heard that the General Xiao was leading troops to search for the location of the Mrs. Xiao, he remembered what he saw yesterday. He thought about how he could earn some money by providing information, so he came to look for him himself.

Regardless of whether what this fortune-teller said was true or not, it was still a useful clue.

Xiao Jingyue ordered some people to give him rewards, and then asked: "Do you remember how that carriage looks like?"

The fortune-teller said, "The cyan color is just an ordinary carriage. There's nothing special about it."

Pausing for a moment, he seemed to recall something and then said: "But I remember that the young master that carried Mrs. Xiao onto the carriage had a gold-edged tiger jade pendant at his waist."

A gold-edged, tiger-striped jade pendant! Caoital Officials's face immediately changed when he heard this.

Xiao Jingyue shot a glance at him but did not say anything. She gave Xiao Yi a look, and after telling Xiao Budian and his group to leave, she said: "Did Lord Caoital Officials think of something?"

Many years ago, when His Majesty heard that the only son of the Minister of War was bedridden all year round, he gave Li Chenxuan the Golden-edged Tiger Jade that was said to cure the disease.

Caoital Officials knows about this, but Li Chenxuan is his own son-in-law. No matter what, he does not dare to say it, so he could only laugh dryly: "This official does not know."

But just because he didn't say anything, didn't mean that Xiao Jingyue couldn't find out.

After finding out who the gold-edged tiger striped jade pendant was, he immediately withdrew his troops and rushed to the Minister of War Palace, immediately surrounding the Minister Mansion.

Chen Linye had been following Xiao Jingyue the entire time, and seeing this, he could not help but click his tongue, secretly feeling troubled in his heart.

One had to know that the Minister of War was the person in charge of handling the army's food supply. They had offended Li Yun this time, but they did not know if they could make it in time for the war.

Even though he thought about it so much, Xiao Jingyue did not care.

He did not care who he offended, nor did he care if he would be able to fight in the future.

To him, it was best to offend everyone at once and have the Emperor withdraw the military power to remove him from the post of General of the Empire. Let him return to the Southwest and have An Xin become the son of his Southern Guarding Prince and guard his territory.

When Li Yun left the imperial palace to find out about this, he almost fainted from anger at the entrance.

As the Minister of War, he was in charge of the recruitment of new soldiers and soldiers for the army.

But now, he was surrounded by a general. It would be a joke if word got out!

Returning to his clan's gate, once he got off the carriage, Li Yun saw Xiao Jingyue standing in front of his clan's gate with a single glance.

He walked over with a darkened face, endured his anger, smirked, and asked: "I wonder what General Xiao's intentions are?"

Xiao Jingyue said: "This general has received news that Young Noble seems to be related to the disappearance of this general's wife, and I am here to pay a visit to Young Master Ling."

Surround the mansion and pay a visit to him? Li Yun was so angry that his eyes were about to spew fire, and without a word, he went to call for Li Chenxuan.

So when Li Chenxuan returned from the courtyard, what he saw was the scene of his father and Xiao Jingyue facing off at the entrance of Minister of War Palace.

Li Chenxuan's expression did not change, he walked to in front of them and cupped his hands and bowed to Xiao Jingyue: "Greetings, General Xiao."

Then, he called out to Li Yun and Caoital Officials: "Father. "Father-in-law."

Without waiting for Xiao Jingyue to ask, Li Yun asked: "Have you seen Mrs. Xiao before?"

Li Chenxuan lowered his eyes, and stayed silent for a moment. Under everyone's gaze, he said softly: "I have."
