I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Liu Zhirou asked in surprise, "How could such a terrible thing happen under the feet of the emperor?"

"I don't know either." Tan Xiang said with some concern, "According to what outsiders say, it's nothing, but for things like this, it's better to believe it than not to believe it. The one who can't get into trouble here is you."

"In that case, let's slow down the progress. Send more eunuchs to the front to find out what happened." Seeing this, Liu Zhirou did not continue to insist on her own ideas, but instead tried to comfort him.

"Yes, I obey your command." Tan Xiang agreed, then lifted the curtain and left.

Silence returned to the carriage again.

In fact, the capital city had already fallen into chaos at this moment! People were panicking and running around, as if the end of the world had come. Liu Zhen was so frightened that her face turned pale as paper, her heartbeat accelerated rapidly, and she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

He held his newlywed wife's hand tightly and ran towards the cellar without hesitation. Along the way, they stumbled and were constantly squeezed by the panicked crowd, but Liu Zhen never let go, only wanting to protect the people around him.

Finally arriving at the entrance of the cellar, Liu Zhen quickly opened the lid, pushed his wife in, and anxiously urged: "Go down quickly! You should be able to escape by hiding here!" After seeing his wife enter the cellar safely, Liu Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Ming looked at his son who had no ambition at all, and the anger in his heart was instantly ignited and burned fiercely. His eyes widened, his face was full of anger, and his chest rose and fell violently, as if he was about to erupt with endless anger. However, reason told him not to be too harsh on the child, so he suppressed his anger, stretched out his arm, and stopped Liu Zhen who was about to rush into the cellar with his wife.

"Be more presentable!"

Although he was extremely dissatisfied with his only son, Liu Ming had no time to think about other things at this moment. He still had many things to arrange.

Liu Ming found the housekeeper, gathered all the servants and gardeners in his house, rewarded them, and distributed some weapons. After that, he ordered people to close the gate, and killed several servants who wanted to rape the maids and steal property in the chaos, as a warning to others. Under his operation, the Liu family, which was originally in chaos, became stable.

The panic-stricken son Liu Zhen stood aside, trembling, his eyes full of fear and helplessness.

"Dad, why don't we run away? We can't stay in the capital anymore."

"Shut up! Run, where are we going? How many horses do we have? Can we outrun those rebels?"

If the person in front of him was not his own flesh and blood, Liu Ming would have killed him on the spot! After all, at this critical moment, how could he say such words that would disturb the morale of the army? So, he angrily scolded this unfilial son, and then quickly turned around to comfort his frightened subordinates.

Although the Liu family was not from a prominent family, the mansion they purchased was magnificent and majestic. On weekdays, it could only be used as a symbol to show off their wealth, but at critical moments, as long as the door of the mansion was tightly closed, it could play a certain defensive role.

Although it is impossible to resist a real army, it is still easy to stop the refugees. Liu Ming can also bring his strong servants to guard the gate, so it is unlikely to be breached.

But if they really run outside, they will not be able to outrun the rebels no matter what, and will also attract the rebels' attention. At that time, they will be truly powerless to turn the situation around.

Hiding like Liu Zhen said was undoubtedly a way to death! They were not ordinary people. The Liu family had many servants, and these servants knew much more about the mansion than their masters!

Where are they hiding so that none of these people can find them?

Once the old order collapses, it would not be surprising if those guys united to kill all the masters of the Liu family and loot all their treasures!

If we organize the servants now and guard the house, there is still a glimmer of hope. If we simply hide with our family, we will definitely not survive!

Liu Ming was also very tired when he saw the panic-stricken Liu Zhen and the crying Zhao. He didn't know why things had suddenly deteriorated to this extent. He had just made contact with those dignitaries, his daughter was favored in the palace and was pregnant with Long Si. Everything in the Liu family was getting better, so why did it suddenly become a situation where the house was about to collapse?
