I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

"The emperor will make the final decision on these matters. It's not something you and I need to consider. Rongpin should take care of herself when she has time, so as not to be used as a gun by others without knowing it." The virtuous concubine gave her a cold look.

"Yue'er, let's go." Concubine Xian took Liu Yueru's hand and ignored Concubine Rong.

After everyone left, Rongpin snorted coldly, "Looking at the way he looks like he doesn't care about anything, this kind of person is the most terrifying, and he has a deep mind."

"My queen, what do you mean?" Ye Yimu asked doubtfully.

"All the imperial concubines in the palace are dead, and now the queen is gone too. Only the virtuous concubine is fine. Do you think there is anything strange about this?" Rongpin snorted coldly.

Ye Yimu looked in the direction they left, and then said, "It's good this way. The queen's position is vacant. Who can guarantee that the virtuous concubine can sit on that position safely? Anyone has a chance to take the next position."

The smile on Rongpin's face instantly widened a little; "What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, sometimes you have to fight." Ye Yimu said with a smile.

"Hahaha!" Rongpin laughed happily; "I will need your help in the future."

"Yes, thank you for your blessing, Her Majesty." Ye Yimu bowed slightly.

After Liu Yueru and the others had lunch, everyone from the Liu family came out of the imperial study.

Seeing their gloomy faces, Liu Yueru asked with some concern, "Father, eldest brother, second brother, what are you doing?"

Liu Zhengtang raised his hand and gently patted Liu Yueru, admonishing her, "You have to look after the Liu Mansion during this period of time."

"Did something happen?"

"The ghost tribe is attacking. They have joined forces with the defeated nations around them and are heading towards Kyoto. Kyoto will soon be surrounded on all sides." As Liu Zhengtang spoke, his face became increasingly gloomy.

"The gates of Kyoto will be closed soon. If we can successfully counterattack, we will have a chance to survive. If not, the entire city of Kyoto will suffer countless casualties and everyone will die!"

Liu Yueru felt a chill down her spine when she heard this. "What's the solution?"

"Let's go back first." Liu Zhengtang said.

"Yue'er, there is a secret room in the mansion. Store enough food in it first. If there is any accident in the capital, you can hide in it with the children and come out when everything is peaceful." Liu Fufeng looked at Liu Yueru and his voice softened.

"Although the ghosts are brave and good at fighting, we in Kyoto now also have gunpowder. Is this not enough to resist those people?" Liu Yueru asked doubtfully.

"If the ghost tribe comes, we can still give it a try, but now we have to unite the surrounding small countries. There are more than 20 small countries that have been conquered by them, including two big countries." Liu Fufeng frowned, and there was a bit of worry on his face.

Liu Zhengtang also explained, "Besides, those ghosts came here for one person. They will not easily let go of this opportunity to annihilate Kyoto in one fell swoop."

Everyone left the palace with their own thoughts.

The man hiding in the dark suddenly came out.

His eyes were tinged with blood.

Xie Wenyu came to the outside of the imperial study.

"Your Majesty!" When Eunuch Li came in, he saw Emperor Hexu rubbing his eyebrows with a worried look on his face.

"boom!"

Before Eunuch Li could finish his words, there was a loud noise at the door.

Xie Wenyu strode in.

"Your Majesty." Xie Wenyu knelt down and saluted.

When Emperor Hexu saw him coming, he quickly stood up and helped him up from the ground, and asked, "Third brother, your body hasn't recovered yet, why don't you rest for a while?"

"I know everything about those things." Xie Wenyu said with a unhappy expression.

"Huh?" Emperor Hexu was puzzled.

"The ghost tribe has united with the surrounding small countries to come to Kyoto." Xie Wenyu's eyes were filled with hatred. "I request to go to the battle."

Emperor Hexu was stunned for a moment; "This time they are obviously coming for you, Third Brother, I don't want you to get hurt again."

"There was no way before, but now, if they come again, even if I can't kill them all, I will die together with them!" Xie Wenyu said with red eyes and gritted teeth.

He would definitely take back the humiliation from that person.

Seeing that he was determined, Emperor Hexu agreed. "Okay, then you and Jingrui will guard the city gate together. Given their aggressive nature, they will surely come from the main gate of Kyoto."

"Yes." Xie Wenyu nodded in agreement.

Go back to your own courtyard and intensify the training of the troops.

That same day, the emperor issued a notice in Kyoto, asking the people to store food. If a war broke out, those who had cellars should hide in them, and those who did not should hide in the mountains if possible.

The whole of Kyoto was in panic.

The soldiers took turns to guard each city gate, and they dared not relax even for a moment.

At the R&D base, Xie Jingrui escorted the gunpowder and transported it to various places.

Including the gunpowder produced on a daily basis, there is now a lot of gunpowder, but it is scattered in various places and the quantity seems a little insufficient.

Xie Jingrui frowned and looked at Li Jiangyan and asked, "Can you make more gunpowder in a short time? I'm afraid this is not enough to drive those people away."

"Your Highness, these gunpowders are finely crafted. If you are not careful, they will explode. All I can do is to do it as quickly as possible." Li Jiangyan explained to Xie Jingrui.

"Row."

Liu Fufeng led the soldiers to strengthen their training, while Liu Zimo searched everywhere for hidden weapons and asked people to find the craftsmen who made those weapons.

"Make as many arrows as possible in the next two days, and soak the bows and arrows in poison!"

"Yes, Lord Liu, please rest assured."

Liu Zhengtang summoned all the officials to start looking for men of appropriate age in Kyoto to serve as the backup team and to train them. This was the last hope to protect the elderly, the weak, women and children in the city after those on the front line died in battle.

Liu Yueru led everyone to collect food, and brought back the surplus food from each household.

Mother Yan looked at the small amount of food in front of her and said, "Madam, this food should not be enough."

Liu Yueru sighed softly; "The most important things in war are food and water. We need to set up camp near each city gate to store enough water. As for the food, I will think of a way."

"By the way, let's go to the west of the city."

"Yes." Lixia went with Liu Yueru.

From a distance, Lixia saw someone sneaking around the greenhouse.

"Madam, look outside in the middle shed, there is a person acting suspiciously and doesn't want to do anything." Lixia reminded in a low voice.

Liu Yueru raised her hand to open the car curtain and looked in the direction Lixia said.

"Why is she here?" Liu Yueru recognized her at a glance.

"Madam, do you know him?" Lixia asked doubtfully.

The other party noticed Liu Yueru's carriage and quickly hid.

Liu Yueru lowered the curtain and said to Lixia, "Keep a close eye on him and see what he wants to do. Don't alert him."
