Remembering Fu Man'er's words, Xu Yi decided not to go up the mountain again.

But just as he was about to turn and leave, he heard a commotion coming from the woods ahead.

He could vaguely see two figures dart past him, and instinctively, Xu Yi immediately took off after them.

The mountain forest was intricate and complex; in the blink of an eye, Xu Yi clearly realized that he was lost.

At the same time, the figure that had just flashed past him darted away again.

Xu Yi stood still, carefully discerning his location before taking a step.

As he walked, he kept an eye out for anything. The forest was noisy, making it difficult to hear people's movements, so Xu Yi walked with extra caution.

Besides being wary of others, you also need to be careful of the road you're walking on.

Although it was in the forest, some daring hunters still set traps there.

These are all traps used to catch large wild animals; falling into them could result in serious injury.

Xu Yi tried to find his own footprints, but they were already covered by more footprints.

Looking at the messy footprints on the ground, Xu Yi realized that there must be quite a few people hiding in this mountain.

At this moment, he had a vague idea that his coming to the mountain alone was perhaps not a coincidence.

Fu Man'er's words echoed in his ears again. Xu Yi looked up at the sky, which was overcast.

Without hesitation, he immediately decided to leave the mountain.

Having finally managed to get him in, he certainly wouldn't be let out easily.

In anticipation of good news, Qian Dayong did not go home after finishing his shift today, saying he would stay to handle official business.

Everyone said he was worthy of being a deputy commander, and they admired his dedication to his duties.

Only Qian Dayong knew what he was really after.

At the same time, Fu Man'er also arrived at the guard compound. She was very anxious because she had been waiting for Xu Yi to come home.

Lying in bed with her eyes closed, her head was buzzing. She had a strong desire to see Xu Yi.

When Fu Man'er learned that Xu Yi had led his men out of the city to investigate the mountains, she felt a wave of dizziness.

Mingming had refused Xu Yi's offer to go up the mountain last time, but Xu Yi had agreed.

Fu Man'er knew that whatever Xu Yi promised her, it meant it.

But Xu Yi has been gone for so long and hasn't returned yet. Fu Man'er guessed that he probably went up the mountain.

When Qian Dayong heard that Fu Man'er had come looking for someone, he immediately dropped what he was doing and ran out.

Upon arriving, he immediately noticed Fu Man'er's unpleasant expression, which made him feel particularly comfortable.

Just by looking at it, Qian Dayong felt that it was almost certain that Xu Yi was in trouble.

"President Xu has been gone for so long, he must have gone up the mountain."

Qian Dayong deliberately said, "If we go up the mountain, it will be dangerous."

"I heard there are a lot of traps on that mountain, but with Xu Qian's skill, those traps shouldn't be a problem for him."

Fu Man'er glared at him. Qian Dayong had been beaten by Fu Man'er before, and when he saw her, he involuntarily lost his imposing manner.

Now, even when glared at, he didn't dare to say anything, and instead turned his head away by scratching it.

Fu Man'er suppressed her panic and led her people away from the guard compound.

"Miss, what should we do? Should we go out of town to find the young master?"

Fu Man'er nodded and said with a stern face, "Go find it."

"By the way, send someone to inform the county magistrate that Commander Xu has been captured by bandits."
