When Alexei III saw that Yu Renliang was tough and thought for a while, he waved his hand and let all the soldiers make a way out. Yu Renliang held Alena hostage, while Yao Xueqi pulled Yu Renliang's clothes tightly. The three of them quickly evacuated from the road.

Next to him were soldiers eyeing him, and Alexey III, who was sitting on the high ground, was looking at his daughter with concern. Yu Renliang had almost pulled Alena in his arms, and the three of them quickly left Lei Jite's palace and ran out of the city.

Yu Renliang held Yao Xueqi with one hand and Erena with the other. The three of them were about to approach the city gate. But a pair of soldiers saw them coming. Under the command of a knight in a red cloak, the city gate was slowly closed.

When Erena saw the man in front of her, her expression changed and immediately said, "Oh no, you can't run out, it's all because Theodore personally defended the city."

The sound of horse hooves slowly came, Theodore sat on the horse's back and looked at the three people standing on the ground. He said with a provocative smile on his face: "Princess Elina, I don't know where you are going now?"

Yu Renliang immediately held Alena hostage in his hands, but Theodore's face changed at this time, but the exaggeration allowed everyone to see that he was deliberately disguising it: "Yu Renliang, I heard that you held the princess hostage. I originally thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

Yu Renliang said seriously: "Toodore, quickly open the city gate, otherwise I will kill Erena."

Theodore's face finally stopped disguising itself, and he showed a sarcastic ridicule: "Haha, Yu In-liang. Do you think you can threaten me with a princess."

Alena whispered to Yu Renliang: "If it were others, they would naturally get out of the way, but if it was Theodore. I think you can't even get out of the city today. Theodore's position in the empire is second only to the father, and his power also makes my father afraid. More importantly, he has a close relationship with the Roman Catholic Church. Now the empire is preparing to fight with the Crusaders, and his father let Theodore serve as the guardian commander, and naturally he also hopes to use his relationship to ease the crisis between the Roman Catholic Church, so he asked him to lead the Knights Guard of Constantinople. I didn't expect that he would appear outside the city gate today. Theodore never lost his principles for anyone. Not to mention me, I am afraid that even if you kidnapped your father at this moment, he would give in. Yu Renliang, it seems that I can only help you here. As for whether you can leave the city later, it depends on your own luck."

"You said you are helping me?" Yu Renliang said in confusion.

Alena snorted, "Yu Renliang, you are indeed a powerful man. And your wisdom is indeed good. But you are far from understanding women. You are far from enough. You like Yao Xueqi, but you have only told her now. I volunteered to be your hostage, and you still yelled at me. Do you think I am so stupid that I went over to talk nonsense to you in person at that time? Humph, I just fantasized about you coming to ask me for something, and even thought that you could agree to my request. In this way, I would really help you. Of course, even if you reject me and then hold me hostage, all this is in my plan. I already thought that my father would definitely release you out of the city because of me, but I didn't expect to meet Theodore."

Yu Renliang finally understood why Erena was not nervous at all because she was kidnapped, and even kept teasing herself in such a confrontation. It turned out that she was indeed helping herself. Thinking of this, Erena wanted to take down the dagger in her hand, but Erena whispered softly again: "You are stupid and you are really stupid. You are now holding me back at least there are bargaining chips. If you put the dagger down now, you will have no bargaining chips. Listen to me. My father's pursuers will definitely arrive soon. Now you are temporarily in stalemate with Theodore. As long as my father's pursuers arrive, those people will definitely negotiate with Theodore in consideration of my safety."

Yu Renliang whispered in Erena's ear: "I really didn't expect you to have such kindness."

"Ha, don't think that we women are all very slutty. Many women who truly understand love and sex are willing to sacrifice for their lovers. Of course, I haven't become your lover yet. If you change your mind now, it may be a win-win result. I will let the Father release you immediately."

"Apart from this condition, I can promise you anything else. I can't betray Xue Qi." Yu Renliang's voice was so powerful.

Alena had no choice but to smile bitterly, "Well, even if I plead for you to my father now, there is at least a reliable reason. You know that even Theodore already knows that you have taken me hostage, it would be strange if those elders don't mention this matter easily? Do you know that hostage of the princess itself is a death penalty. Moreover, my younger brother proposed to Yao Xueqi, which is actually my father's intention. So in fact, she decided to conquer the emperor's marriage, which is also a death penalty. You two have committed death penalty. If you want to forgive me, I will even help you with a better reason."

Alena and Yu Renliang were discussing whispering that Theodore had raised the sword in his hand. As soon as he put it down, the soldiers behind him would definitely rush over. Alena saw it and said quickly: "Theodore, don't do anything randomly. He will kill me at any time."

Theodore said arrogantly: "I'm sorry, Princess, my duty is to seize all criminals. As for your life and death, I think that's something that your clan cares more about."

Alena's tone became significantly weaker. She knew very well that Alexei III did not have many ways to deal with Theodore. But what made her feel a glimmer of hope was that Alexei III knew that Theodore intercepted Yu Renliang, and actually rushed over with the palace guards. This emperor who was famous for pampering his daughter in history was indeed not a waste of time. Alena seized the opportunity and shouted to her father to help him, and begged her father to open the city gate.

Alexey III could only say to Theodore: "My dear Theodore nephew, do you have the heart to watch my princess being killed by the thugs?"

Theodore looked at the singing and reunion of these people, but at this moment he laughed: "Your Majesty the Emperor, please forgive me for being frank. Yu Renliang would never dare to kill the princess. Because this is simply a trick that the princess played in conjunction with him. Right, my lovely and beautiful princess."

Alena bit his lips, but Yu Renliang felt relieved at this moment. Because when he knew that Alena was helping him, he felt that it was indeed unreasonable to hold Alena hostage. Now that this guy saw through it, he became much more calm: "This guy is quite awesome." (To be continued...)
