Chu Li pursed her lips and looked at Qin Muxue who was being held hostage.
"Listen to your uncle," Xiao Yexing stood beside Chu Dichi, his hands behind his back, his voice steady, "With your uncle here, nothing can go wrong."
Chu Li bit her lower lip lightly.
Qin Muyu hadn't arrived yet, but unexpectedly, Chu Dichi arrived first.
At this point, there was no other choice but to ask him for help.
Will he help her?
She looked hesitantly at the expressionless man, and after a moment, she walked over.
Several bullies whispered something:
"Chu Li?"
"This name seems familiar?"
"Wait! Chu... isn't this the national surname?"
Their expressions suddenly changed, and they realized then that they had kidnapped a royal relative and had hit a wall!
If they let this person go and provoke a counterattack from the royal family, all of them would probably die.
"Stop him!"
Got fooled!
This woman's identity is far less important than this man's.
We have to catch this man named Chu Li!
"Catch him!"
They changed their minds instantly, pushed Qin Muxue away, and tried to catch Chu Li with their weapons.
There was a chill in Chu Dichi's eyes, and he approached like an arrow. He grabbed Chu Li's wrist, wrapped her in his arms, and swept her with his backhand, using his powerful internal force to knock away more than a dozen people.
The bully leader became furious and jumped up, chopping down with his sword!
Chu Dichi folded his palms and absorbed 90% of his strength, but a small minion next to him took advantage of the opportunity and was stabbed.
“Hmm!”
The blade cut through the clothes and pierced the flesh, and the vibrations of the man's body were clearly transmitted to Chu Li.
"Uncle!"
She immediately raised her head and saw the man's tightly pursed lips. She grabbed his arm and wanted to see his back.
The man's big hand held her head.
His voice was trembling slightly: "It's all blood, don't look at it."
But he was injured!
If such a big knife is used to chop at the back, wouldn't it chop out all the bones?
The past grudges are in the past. Today, Chu Dichi is trying to save her. If anything happens and her life is in danger, she will be responsible for another life.
"Let me see your injuries."
Chu Dichi held her down, his face pale as he said, "If I let you see it, will it heal you without treatment? Or will you feel happier if you see me get hurt more seriously?"
Chu Li's face was gloomy.
The heart of a villain!
"Oh, it's enough for the emperor's uncle to know my thoughts. Why do you have to talk about it? It makes me seem like you saved me and I am still so heartless and have no conscience. In fact, you have done all the evil things."
Chu Dichi's eyes turned cold, "How could you be so upset about the fact that I touched you?"
"Don't forget, it was you who came to me to save General Qin."
Chu Li looked at him coldly, "You dare to say that you have never forced me?"
"Chu Li, ask yourself, have I ever interfered in the affairs of the Duke's Mansion and the General's Mansion? If I haven't, then why do you blame me? Or do you want to take things from me for free without giving anything in return?"
Having said that, even if he did not interfere in the affairs of the Duke's Mansion and the General's Mansion, didn't he add fuel to the fire?
Thinking back to the past, she was filled with emotion: "I can give you something else, but you just..."
"Besides you, what else can I not have if you have it?"
Chu Li's voice stopped abruptly.
yes.
As the powerful regent, how could he not have anything he wanted?
What else could she give him?
In that case, she shouldn't blame him for what happened back then?
Xiao Yexing quickly dealt with the group of minions. He turned around and saw the uncle and nephew quarreling. It was unusual for them to quarrel in such an occasion.
He picked up the unconscious Qin Muxue and said, "Achi, let Chongfeng take care of this. We should go back now."
Chu Li stood up, but felt a pain in his ankle.
"hiss……"
I don't know when it got twisted.
The next second, she was picked up by a pair of big hands around the waist. She gasped and instinctively hugged the man's neck to prevent herself from falling.
"Hold on tight." He held her with just one arm.
She couldn't balance herself and had to lean against him.
"Put me down, I can walk on my own!"
"Are you planning to jump back? By the time you jump back to the Imperial City, it will be dawn. I don't have the patience to accompany you."
"I would rather jump back than trouble the uncle."
Chu Dichi lowered his eyes and glanced at her, "If you let go of my hand, won't you fall down by yourself?"
Chu Li gritted his teeth and actually let go of his hand.
However, just as her body fell, she was caught up steadily by the man’s arms.
"open……"
"If you move again, I'll kill you right here."
Chu Li's whole body froze. Without doubting the truth of his words, he closed his mouth and dared not move anymore.
Out of the dense forest.
As they walked onto the official road, they saw several figures rushing towards them from a distance. Qin Muyu, who was leading the group, was sweating profusely as he ran: "Ninth Prince!"
Chu Dichi held Chu Li steadily, his dignified and cold demeanor like a victorious general, and said wildly:
"It's all over, General Qin."
Qin Muyu's feet were stunned.
He was late.
"I still have some aftermath work to do, so I'll have to trouble General Qin to take the Ninth Prince and Miss Qin back. However... the Ninth Prince sprained his foot, and Miss Qin is still unconscious. Who will General Qin take?"
Chu Dichi raised his thin lips, and his casual words stirred up waves in the hearts of Chu Li and Qin Muyu.
It seems like a simple multiple-choice question.
In fact, no matter who Qin Muyu chooses, he can successfully stir up conflicts in the other party's heart.
If he chooses Qin Muxue, Chu Dichi will naturally have the opportunity to alienate him and Chu Li.
If he chose Chu Li, Qin Muxue was still in a coma and she was still unmarried. If she was taken back by the soldiers, how would her reputation as a virgin be preserved?
Chu Li knew that he had bad intentions, and immediately said:
"Mu Yu, take Mu Xue back. I just sprained my ankle, but I can walk on my own."
Chu Dichi said calmly, "The Ninth Prince really considers General Qin."
"Put me down!"
Chu Dichi held her knees steadily and whispered in her ear, "He hesitated. You see, in his heart, you are not that important."
Chu Li smiled coldly:
"Do you think you can drive a wedge between us? Your question is like if a father and a mother fell into the water at the same time, who would you choose to save first? This is an unanswerable question and it doesn't prove anything."
"Really? But you have to explain a lot."
"you!"
He smiled coldly, hugged her directly, walked around Qin Muyu, and strode into the city.
Qin Muyu wanted to chase: "Ninth Prince..."
"Nephew," Xiao Yexing called him, "The Regent has returned. I have to go and clean up the mess. Your sister is quite heavy for you to hold by yourself."
Qin Muyu had to stop, look at the two people's backs as they walked away, and took Qin Muxue over.
"In order to save the Ninth Prince, the Regent was seriously injured." Xiao Yexing sighed and left.
Qin Muyu had a complicated expression.
The Regent has rarely cared about royal affairs, but today he risked his life to save Chu Li.
The last time he was imprisoned, it was the Regent who rescued him for Chu Li's sake.
The Regent seems... to be only nice to Chu Li.
Is it his illusion?
