Liu Fufeng was speechless for a moment and looked at the witch at a loss.

"Oh no, oh no." The housekeeper rushed in from outside.

Everyone's nerves tensed up instantly and they stood up from their seats.

Liu Zhengtang asked hurriedly: "What happened?"

The butler pointed at the city gate with a bad look on his face and said, "Then, those people have begun to attack the city!"

"what!"

"Let's go." Liu Fufeng rushed out directly.

Liu Zimo turned around and reminded, "Yue'er, stay at home and be good."

"Be careful." Liu Yueru watched Liu Zhengtang and the others leave quickly.

I always feel uneasy.

"Grandma." Liu Yueru turned around and looked at the witch beside her, but she was nowhere to be seen.

"Where is the witch?" Liu Yueru asked Lixia beside her.

Lixia pointed to the direction where Liu Fufeng had just left and said, "The Gu Po left with the general, and she was carrying a package in her hand."

"Oh no! Send someone to explain this to my eldest brother. Grandma won't change her mind once she makes a decision. Tell him to pay more attention to her."

Liu Yueru looked at the pile of hidden weapons, then turned to Lixia and said, "It's too late to give each household one of these hidden weapons now. So, you take these things to the homes near the city gates and distribute them to the elderly, the weak, women and children near the city gates first. Take the rest back and distribute them later based on the situation. Each room in our Liu Mansion will be given one."

"Yes."

When Liu Fufeng and his men arrived at the city wall, Xie Jingrui had already led his troops to counterattack those people.

"Your Highness!" Liu Fufeng walked around the city wall and came to the main gate, calling out with his head down.

Xie Jingrui looked at Liu Fufeng and said, "These people are only here to explore the way. They should conserve their strength first. I have already asked the soldiers to deliver their weapons to the various city gates."

Xie Wenyu narrowed his eyes and looked at the situation outside, then said: "They are from the ghost tribe. This is the pioneer. I recognize that person."

Xie Wenyu's body began to tremble slightly as he spoke.

Xie Jingrui followed Xie Wenyu's gaze and saw a man wearing a ghost mask and dressed in black, quietly watching the scene in front of him.

Liu Fufeng's heart sank.

Xie Jingrui suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said to Liu Fufeng beside him: "Brother, hurry back to the west gate. No matter what happens at the other gates, you must not leave. They are looking for a breakthrough."

Liu Fufeng rushed towards the west gate like the wind.

The remaining East Gate was being defended by other soldiers. Liu Zimo was worried, so after delivering the necessary things to each city gate, he returned to the East Gate to watch over it together.

Liu Zhengtang was guarding the north gate. These city gates were guarded by his trusted men, so Xie Jingrui felt relatively at ease.

"Your Highness, other sects have already sent a lot of secret guards to guard those places together. Once anything goes wrong, those trusted troops can be transferred there at will." One of the secret guards said to Xie Jingrui.

"Okay, keep a close watch at all times. Don't let any slackness creep in. Two shifts of people, take turns on duty, don't let your guard down."

"Yes." The secret guard disappeared in the black clothes.

Someone below suddenly came forward to report, "Your Majesty, the princess is here."

"What?" Xie Jingrui exclaimed, his face darkening a little: "Where is the person?"

As Xie Jingrui spoke, he strode towards Liu Yueru.

When I arrived at the foot of the city wall, I saw Liu Yueru standing not far away.

Xie Jingrui quickly stepped forward and took her into his arms. "Yue'er, why did you come to this place?"

Liu Yueru pointed at the servants outside who were delivering food. "This food is extremely important. I was worried, so I came with you to deliver the food. I know you are busy on the city wall, so we will go back after delivering the food."

Xie Jingrui gently placed his warm hands on Liu Yueru's face and warned her seriously, "Don't come here again. Just have someone deliver the food on time."

"Yes." Liu Yueru nodded slightly.

Xie Jingrui kissed her forehead, and then said to the deputy general beside him, "Go and send the princess back to Liu Mansion safely."

"Be careful and I'll wait for you to come back." Liu Yueru worriedly reminded Xie Jingrui.

Watching Liu Yueru's figure completely disappear from his sight, Xie Jingrui quickly returned to the city wall.

The court doctor checked all the water sources collected by Liu Yueru.

When Liu Yueru returned to the Liu Mansion, the palace doctor was already waiting in her courtyard. He said with a serious expression, "Madam, this water has been drugged. I'm afraid many people have already drunk it."

"If we remove the poison from the water and let those people drink it, maybe that will help them get rid of the poison?"

The court doctor thought about it and nodded slightly; "That's possible, but there is a war outside now, and it will take some time to put the antidote in all these water sources in a short period of time. We can not drink water, but those soldiers will not be able to endure it for a long time."

Liu Yueru stretched out her hand to the court doctor and said, "Give me the antidote. We will take care of this matter."

The court physician has marked the antidotes according to the different water sources and wells. You just need to place the corresponding antidote in the corresponding well or water source.

Lixia had already been assigned by Liu Yueru. She told Bailu beside her, "Follow the doctor's instructions and find a few reliable people to put the antidote in the wells near the city gate first, then in the manors in the west city, and the rest in other places in Kyoto."

"Yes." Bai Lu brought all the antidotes over. The court doctor was very meticulous and divided the antidotes into corresponding packages for different areas.

Lixia hurried back from outside and said to Liu Yueru, "My lady, everything has been done, and the gifts have been distributed to every room in the mansion."

"How much is left?" Liu Yueru asked Lixia.

"I checked when I came back, and there are still 115 in total. I have already ordered people to put them in the warehouse. Madam, do you want to send them to anyone else?" Lixia looked at Liu Yueru.

She frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said to Lixia, "Take out thirty of them and have someone send them to the palace and hand them over to the virtuous concubine."

"However, you need to explain to Concubine Xian what these things are used for. If she sends these hairpins out, she must keep records. Also, it is best to choose hairpins with different silver needle patterns for the 30 hairpins. You need to explain this to Concubine Xian."

"I understand." Lixia said and turned to do it.

"Boom! Bang!" There was a sudden loud noise outside, and even the ground shook.

Mother Yan came to Liu Yueru's side, her face stern; "Madam, let's go to the secret room."

Liu Yueru shook her head gently. "This has just begun. How long do we have to hide?"
