Qin Wuyou faced the crucial decision of seeking refuge with one of the three princes.
Initially torn between them, he dismissed the Second Prince due to his alliance with the Sun family and the Third Prince's entanglement with water bandits. Doubts about the fourth prince's suitability also lingered.
Turning his attention to Shao Yunduan, who had effectively governed Huaixi province despite challenges from the Sun and Su families, Qin Wuyou considered him a more dependable option.
He then dispatched someone to monitor the conflict between Zheng Sangge and the Su Family, intervening at a critical juncture to demonstrate his loyalty to Shao Yunduan.
Despite some emotional disappointment in serving someone of lower rank, Qin Wuyou harbored no regrets, because sooner or later he would have to make a choice.
It came down to a choice between Shao Yunduan and the other princes, with Shao Yunduan proving to be the more reliable option.
