The mysterious disappearance of the prince spread among the people. Gu Siyuan's reputation for caring for the victims spread far and wide, and the people's hearts aspired to him. The victims stationed in the camp asked for help and went to the border mountains to look for the prince.

As soon as Gu Siyi opened the curtain, he met the eyes of dozens of people and nearly a hundred people. The pleas of the victims were deafening. They were all simple people at first, and they did not notice the gloom that flashed in Gu Siyi's eyes when he saw them.

"My Highness is very grateful to you for having such a heart. However, if the Imperial Brother were here, he would not be willing to see the people delay rebuilding new houses because of him."

Gu Siyi's voice changed and he sounded thoughtful.

Little did the people around him know that the third prince, who looked as gentle as jade, actually had a vicious heart.

The reason why the people were not allowed to go was because Gu Siyi was afraid that Magistrate Lin was not ruthless enough to kill people directly.

Gu Siyi wanted to be one step ahead and found Gu Siyuan. He wanted to see the person alive or the body after death. No matter what, he would not let anyone come back alive.

"Your Highness, I would like to thank the people for their kindness. The emperor's blessings are profound, and there is nothing to fear from a few bandits. Maybe there was an accident on the road, and the news did not come back."

Qin Zhongwan, who was behind the crowd, heard Gu Siyi's high-sounding lie. A flash of ridicule flashed in her eyes, which strengthened her determination to go up the mountain to search.

Protector Changqing was eager to go, and originally wanted to go with Qin Zhongwan, but she dissuaded her from doing so.

"The prince's disappearance has become a mystery, and everyone else in the station is worried. Changqing, you have to stay here, in case something happens." Qin Zhongwan said in a deep tone, with bright eyes, "You have to inform us. That’s it.”

Although he didn't name him by name, Chang Qing knew very well that he was on guard against the third prince.

"My slave understands that the second young lady must take care of herself before leaving and must not act impulsively."

That night, Qin Zhongwan set out with Xu Shao and two guards.

Gu Siyuan's trip was secretive and he did not take many people with him. Changqing was worried about Qin Zhongwan's safety. He originally wanted her to take more people with him, but Qin Zhongwan declined.

There are many people in the area and there are many people there. If one or two people leave, it doesn't attract anyone's attention. If there are too many people, they might alert others.

Anshan is located on the border of Xu Line and has rugged terrain.

The villages at the foot of the mountain have lived here for a long time. Occasionally, bold villagers will go hunting in the mountains. Most people don't dare. Not to mention the steepness of the mountains, the wild beasts in the mountains are blind livestock.

Anshan Village has counted for decades, and most of the people who ventured to the mountains lost their lives on the mountains, with no bones left. The few who survived did not dare to go back, saying that bandits were rampant in the mountains.

Over time, as the people of Anshan Village got along with their lives, they no longer thought of going up the mountain.

Yesterday, a group of people suddenly came and surrounded the mountain, causing people in Anshan Village to panic.

After questioning, the villagers learned that His Royal Highness might have disappeared in the mountains.

Gu Siyuan won the hearts of the people, and the villagers spontaneously organized a mountain patrol team, hoping to find the noble Crown Prince as soon as possible.

It was humid and hot in the mountains, and Qin Zhongwan walked on the uneven earth and rocks with feet that were like lead.

The weak moonlight shrouded the road ahead, and was soon covered by dark clouds. Qin Zhongwan squinted and struggled to find the way forward in the darkness.

Unexpectedly, she, Xu Shao and the guards got lost and separated.

Gu Siyi's people surrounded the entrance and exit of the Anshan people so tightly that not even a fly could get in, let alone Qin Zhongwan and his three living people.

Qin Zhongwan immediately decided to divide his troops into three groups. The three of them would go up the mountain from three places without changing the direction, so they could always walk together.

Crystal beads of sweat were dripping down, and Qin Zhongwan pulled at the skirt of her clothes and gasped. She didn't know how long she had walked, and she didn't know where in the mountain she had entered.

The directions in the mountains are unpredictable, and Qin Zhongwan can't even recognize the difference between the vegetation?She clenched her palms, which were covered with sticky cold sweat. The soles of her feet were stained with yellow mud, making her steps heavy.

There was no light in the sky, and the night was dark. She was a weak woman. Although she had medical skills, when she encountered a raptor, she was afraid that she would be knocked unconscious by a claw before the needle was inserted.

Qin Zhongwan bit his lower lip, and the brief pain brought a moment of clarity.

"Who?"

Under the silence all around, Xisuo's movement was particularly loud. Qin Zhongwan looked warily in the direction of the sound and saw an equally astonished man.

The man was dressed in coarse cloth and did not look like a wealthy man. He was also carrying two long ears, which was a dead rabbit.

"Girl, the sun has gone down, why are you still running up the mountain? There are wild tigers on this mountain!"

Although Qin Zhongwan was dressed in smart and smart clothes, she did not put any disguise on her face today. Her bright face was clearly that of a girl.

"I don't think you are from Anshan Village. Are you from other places?"

Qin Zhongwan gradually let down his guard after listening to the man's words, but he was still a little defensive.

The man mistakenly thought that Qin Zhongwan accidentally got lost in the mountains and could not find a way out, so he stayed until now. He kindly led Qin Zhongwan out.

"Let me lead you down the mountain. The mountain road is winding and winding. You can't walk even if you don't recognize the road."
