Dabao: "Master, the old emperor is ill."
Tu Qingyu: "Tsk, are you sick? Is the plot about to begin?"
Dabao: “I think so.”
Ming Chuji has been very busy in the past six months, but no matter how busy he is, he will always find time to talk to Tu Qingyu.
Tu Qingyu pretended not to know what he was planning, and got along with him in a relaxed manner every time he came.
After half a year, they have developed to the point where they can hold hands.
The last time he came, he looked at Tu Qingyu with sparkling eyes and said, "Sister, I will be able to take you away from here soon."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Unfortunately, she did not wait for Ming Chuji to arrive.
Instead, I received the imperial edict from the old emperor.
A plague was raging in Yuezhou in the south, and this plague was suspected to be a conspiracy by the Japanese.
The old emperor sent the Prince of Qi with the imperial physician to treat the plague and find out the truth. Once the truth was revealed, he would mobilize troops from the surrounding states and counties to suppress the Japanese pirates.
However, many of the generals stationed in the surrounding states and counties were former subordinates of General Tu.
Huo Qixiao was also somewhat self-aware. He was afraid that he could not handle those generals, so he specifically asked the old emperor for permission to bring Tu Qingyu along.
The old emperor agreed, obviously, he had also considered this issue.
Tu Qingyu guessed that the plot of choosing one of the two options might happen in Yuezhou.
So she didn't resist at all. She took her people, packed up her things, and set off without stopping.
When Ming Chuji got the news, they were already halfway there.
He quickly led his men to chase after them, and when they caught up, Tu Qingyu and his group had already entered the city.
After that, it was learned that the princess was abducted, and the King of Qi's concubine was also abducted.
After nearly half a month of exhausting travel, even the strongest person would be unable to bear it.
Hearing this news suddenly, he almost felt dizzy.
"Go, go find them." He forced himself to stay upright and spoke through gritted teeth, "Notify Uncle Yi that I want all the men of the Ming family in Yuezhou City."
However, before they could even start looking, the kidnapper appeared with his men.
There were gusts of cold wind that day, and purple lightning flashed across the sky from time to time, with occasional thunder.
It was obvious that there would be a heavy rain soon.
Tu Qingyu was held hostage on the city wall, complaining to Dabao in his heart, "Is this kind of thunderous weather really a standard for trouble?"
Dabao: "This kidnapper is also mentally perverted. He colluded with the Japanese. Instead of negotiating terms with Huo Qixiao, he actually wanted to force Huo Qixiao to choose between the two."
What are these people thinking?
Tu Qingyu: "Who knows? This world is crazy anyway."
A prince can beat his princess for a green tea girl.
A weak woman with a crippled leg was able to evade numerous guards and escape from the village.
Tsk, what else can't be done?
"King Qi!" The leader shouted at Huo Qixiao who was running up the city wall, "Don't come over here. If you come over again, I'll kill both of your women!"
Huo Qixiao looked at the two people who were held hostage, his face as dark as today's weather.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me what you want. As long as this king has it, I will grant it to you."
"Hahahaha..." The leader laughed heartily, "You, the Prince of Qi, are a royal family of noble birth, extremely honorable. You are the prince who would beat a servant to death simply because he lost something."
He looked like a madman, his whole body shaking with laughter. Finally, he raised his head with a sinister look on his face.
"Is losing something such a heinous crime? Or was it because you were in a bad mood at the time, Your Highness, and you took it out on someone?"
Huo Qixiao frowned, "What are you talking about? I don't remember."
The man stopped smiling and his eyes became even colder.
"Yes, an insignificant person died. How could your honorable Highness the Prince of Qi remember it?"
"Okay, no more words." He held the knife and gestured at the necks of Tu Qingyu and Shu Muyun. "You choose one of these two women, and I will release the one you choose. How about that?"
"You! The one you caught is the princess of the current dynasty. If you dare to hurt her, you will surely die without a burial place!" Huo Qixiao gritted his teeth and wanted to rush forward, but he didn't dare.
"Oh?" The kidnapper held a knife to Shu Muyun's neck and said, "The princess can't be killed, so this should be okay? As long as Your Majesty doesn't feel bad."
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please save my sister, the Princess! I was the one who wronged my sister in the past. I owe you all this... Your Majesty..."
Shu Muyun was trembling and crying. She told Huo Qixiao to choose Tu Qingyu, but she was terrified that Huo Qixiao would actually choose Tu Qingyu.
"Choose quickly!" The man's knife moved closer to Shu Muyun's neck.
Seeing that he was about to row down, Huo Qixiao quickly said, "Wait!"
The kidnapper stopped and looked at him with a teasing look in his eyes, "It seems that the prince still can't let go of his beloved. That is the princess, right?"
He walked over to Tu Qingyu again and gestured with the knife.
If he didn't want to fake his death and get away, Tu Qingyu really wanted to hit him twice.
"No!" Huo Qixiao stretched out his hand. He looked at this and that, unable to make a decision.
He should have chosen Shu Muyun without hesitation. After all, Yun'er was weak, had suffered so much because of him, and had saved him in the past.
But when he thought about giving up Tu Qingyu, his heart ached.
He looked at the kidnapper, "I want both of them. Whatever conditions you have, you can make them. As long as it can save them, as long as I have them."
An official from the nearby palace also spoke up, "Yes, young man, please don't do anything stupid. Think about your family. Don't you have anything left to cherish in this world?"
"What's there to be nostalgic about? My family has long been destroyed by this bastard prince. What else can I be nostalgic about?" His eyes were fierce and sinister. "Alright, stop talking nonsense and make your choice!"
"If Your Majesty doesn't choose, then neither of them will be chosen."
After saying that, he waved his hand and took Tu Qingyu and Shu Muyun hostage and walked towards the outside of the city wall, pretending to push them both down.
The city wall of Yuezhou is famous for its height. Tu Qingyu just estimated it with his naked eye and it is about seventeen meters.
If you fall from this height, you will be paralyzed if not dead.
Tu Qingyu: "Dabao, our pills are not expired, right? They won't hurt, right?"
Dabao: "Master, you must have confidence in your craftsmanship. Even if it expires, you still have me."
Tu Qingyu: "Okay."
The kidnappers here were already getting impatient. Seeing that Huo Qixiao was still not making a choice, they were ready to push both of them down.
"Wait, wait!" Huo Qixiao raised his hand to stop, "I, I choose..."
He took a few deep breaths, weighing the options in his mind.
Tu Qingyu cannot die. If he chooses Shu Muyun at this time, then the purpose of his trip will not be achieved at all.
The emperor will not let him go either.
Just as he was about to speak, the man spoke again, "Your Majesty, if you really don't know how to choose, I can take a step back."
