It was noon and there were a few people scattered on the road. Song Sisi stood far away and asked, "Dabai, why did you bring us here?"

Dabai took them into the woods and hid in a more secluded place.

Then he licked Anzhi's hand reluctantly, as if saying goodbye.

"Dabai, is there anyone passing by here?"

Dabai naturally wouldn't answer like a human, but instead looked to the other end of the road and just kept staring.

An Zhi guessed that someone must be passing by, so he squatted down and hugged Dabai, "If we leave, where will you go?"

"Why don't you come with me, and we can go back to find mother together."

He saw Dabai's eyes light up, then quickly dimmed. It opened its mouth and bit Anzhi's thumb, drawing blood, then slowly licked the blood clean.

An Zhi didn't say anything, just looked at it quietly. When he saw the blood stopped, he squeezed and moved closer to Dabai.

After it finished licking him again, he held Dabai's head and rubbed it. "Can't you come back with me? I have a sister named Anran. You will definitely like her if you see her."

Seeing this, Song Sisi wanted to reach out and touch it, but was scared back by Dabai's bared teeth.

"Dabai, even though you don't like me, I like you very much. Thank you for saving us."

When night fell, someone finally passed by here. It was a team of only a dozen soldiers on horseback. Their faces could not be seen clearly, but the armor plates on their bodies were shining brightly under the firelight.

Several people held their breath and dared not speak. Suddenly, Dabai roared to the sky, scaring more than ten people holding torches to look over here, "Master, it's a wolf."

Dabai rubbed Anzhi's hand, and Anzhi knew that these people must be good people, "Don't worry, we will follow them, but I want to see you go first."

Dabai whimpered softly with reluctance, then looked back every few steps and ran towards the woods, until all the white disappeared into the night.

The soldiers outside dismounted and led their horses away, fearing to alarm the wolves inside. A rustling sound was heard again, and the leader shouted, "Who?"

An Zhi went out first and said, "We are children from a nearby village. We played a lot and now it's dark and we don't dare to go back. Can you please take us home, uncle?"

The leader heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. "So it turns out that these are some naughty kids who are afraid of being scolded by their parents if they go home late. Come on, I'll take you back."

The three of them ran to the team, and the officers and soldiers all surrounded them. "Wow, these three kids are so handsome. It's not okay for them to stay out so late. Don't do that next time."

Several people nodded repeatedly, and the leader said, "Which village are you from? I'll take you back first."

An Zhi thought for a moment and asked, "Where are you from, uncle? Where are you going?"

The leader said: "My last name is Qi, you can call me Uncle Qi, we are here on a mission."

He pointed at the clothes he was wearing and said, "See? We are soldiers."

The person who came was Qi Hongchuan's eldest son Qi Mu. He and his father split up into two groups and did not go to Wanjiang but went directly to the border between the two places.

An Zhi nudged Li Shen with his elbow, and Li Shen said, "Uncle, you guys are so awesome. We want to follow you."

Song Sisi also understood the hint and immediately said, "Yes, I want to follow too. I have never seen an officer uncle in my life."

Qi Mu had always been a friendly person on the battlefield. Hearing this, he just smiled honestly and said, "No, we have a mission to accomplish. I'll take you back first."

The person next to him said, "Yes, we will send you back first. We still have things to do."

An Zhi thought about it and decided that since he was the person chosen by Dabai, he must be trustworthy, so he pulled Qi Mu aside.

"Uncle, actually we are lost. We are not from the nearby village."

Qi Mu was shocked. "What, you guys..."

After looking around he said, "What's your name?"

An Zhi looked at Li Shen and said, "My last name is Liu, and his last name is Li."

When Qi Mu heard the last name Li, he immediately reacted and said seriously: "I see, then come with me, I'll take you out to play for two days before leaving."

Seeing this, the people around said, "That's not good, Qi Da. If we take someone else's child away, isn't that child trafficking?"

Qi Mu knocked him on the head, "Alright, don't I know the limits? Let's each take one and go find my dad first."

When the men heard this, they also reacted. The three people in front each took a child and rode their horses towards the Wanjiang River overnight.

Even their meals were eaten casually. They traveled day and night for two days before arriving at a piece of wasteland in Wanjiang. The general was stationed there and searched for the child in a big way.

At night, Qi Mu avoided everyone and brought the three children into the general's tent.

"Dad, I think I found someone."

General Qi was looking at the topographic map of Wushan. When he heard this, he looked up and saw his son rushing in with three children.

Seeing that the three men did not look like children from ordinary families, he asked someone to guard him outside and interrogate them carefully.

"What are your names and where do you live?"

The three of them looked at each other warily before deciding, "Who are you?"

The general introduced himself earnestly: "My last name is Qi, and I am this kid's father."

Li Shen stepped forward and bowed, "Greetings, General Qi. My name is Li Shen."

Li Shen, the general, thought that this must be the great-grandson of the Princess Taichang, so he asked, "How is Mr. Li's great-grandmother?"

"I lost my mother a month ago, and my great-grandmother probably couldn't sleep because she was worried about me."

The two men were in silence for a while. After a while, the general asked Qi Mu to take everyone to his tent to have dinner first and not to disturb anyone.

After Qi Mu arranged for the people, he returned and asked, "Dad, the people have been found, what are you still worried about?"

The general didn't expect that the person would be found so quickly, so he had to tell the truth about his coming. Qi Mu jumped up in shock, "Dad, this..."

The general added: "If we send the child back now, then we will have no reason to keep our troops stationed there."

Qi Mu woke up from his shock. He thought, "Dad, how about I throw them back?"

The general shook his head speechlessly. He really had no idea how his son looked like. He didn't look like him at all.

Qi Mu finally realized that something was wrong and asked anxiously, "Dad, now that the person is back, what should we do?"

The general thought for a moment and said, "Let them finish their meal first, and then I'll ask the other two."

An Zhi just said that he was from Nanchang County and was taken away and didn't know where he was.

Song Sisi brought up her father and the general again, and she felt that neither of them was appropriate. Nanchang County had King Yan's deployment and it would be easy to be discovered if they went there.

Wushan is his old nest and he cannot go there. As for the Princess Taichang's Mansion in Wanjiang... he has a plan in mind.

He asked Qi Mu to take them to rest first, and he wrote a letter overnight and sent it to the Princess Taichang's mansion.
