Fu Huang: Husband, here is a ginseng

When Liu Ningchu heard this, she was shocked. She put her head on the bed and indeed heard the "bang bang" sound.

"Who's next?"

Liu Ningchu's mood at this moment was very complicated, including happiness, excitement, and fear.

She knew about the secret passage, and she also knew that apart from her, the prince, her two sons, and a daughter-in-law, only her daughter and the owners of the other six secret passages knew about it.

She didn't know whether the person down there was her eldest son or someone from the other six secret passages.

Or maybe this secret passage has been exposed and the people below are enemies.

"Mother, could it be that my husband has returned?"

Wei Qingyan asked Liu Ningchu somewhat excitedly.

"It could be someone else. What I'm worried about is that the secret passage will be exposed, and then we will be in danger."

Liu Ningchu said worriedly.

Although it is possible that it was the eldest son who came back, they should still be cautious for safety reasons.

"What should I do?"

After hearing what Liu Ningchu said, Wei Qingyan was confused.

"Be careful, Qingyan, do you and Fu'er have any secret words that only the two of you can understand?"

Liu Ningchu didn't dare to open the secret passage rashly. For the safety of her family, she had to act with caution.

"Well... let me think about it!"

After Wei Qingyan finished speaking, she began to recall every detail between her and Murong Fu, trying to see if she could remember the secret code.

At this moment, a voice came from below: "Mother, I am your son Murong Fu, are you up there?"

Although the voice was as faint as a mosquito, they could still hear the word "mother" clearly.

This voice is undoubtedly that of my son/husband.

Although the two were in a daze and their brains were confused, they came to their senses after a while.

They were stunned because they were stupid and were still trying to use code words to identify the identities of the people below.

Why not just ask directly?

The first person to come back to her senses was Wei Qingyan. She quickly helped Liu Ningchu to stand up: "Mother, let's open it quickly and let my husband come up."

"Uh, yes!"

Liu Ningchu suddenly realized something, and immediately worked with Wei Qingyan to move the bed away, revealing a wooden board.

The two of them worked together to lift the wooden board and saw that the person underneath was Murong Fu.

Murong Fu climbed out of the cave and immediately knelt down in front of Liu Ningchu after coming out: "My son came back late and frightened my mother. Please forgive me, my mother!"

"Son! I'm glad you're back!"

Liu Ningchu helped Murong Fu up.

"Mother, I came back this time to tell you that we are leaving tonight. I have already made plans. You pack your belongings and leave through the secret passage tonight. I will be waiting for you at the exit."

Murong Fu told Liu Ningchu and Wei Qingyan about his plan for tonight.

"We're leaving tonight. Where are we going after we get out? Also, what if the Second Prince and his men send troops to hunt us down?"

Liu Ningchu said worriedly.

Of course she was happy to be able to leave, but she was afraid that the Second Prince would not let them go and would kill them all.

"Yes! Husband!"

Wei Qingyan echoed Liu Ningchu's words. She was also worried that the Second Prince would send troops to hunt them down.

“Mother, Madam, don’t worry, I’m ready.

After we rescue the emperor, the empress and the others, we will leave the capital with the Sun family, the Huo family, and my grandfather's family and flee to Goryeo. My sister is there, so we will be safe.

Wait for my father and the crown prince to join us, then we will charge into the palace and capture the second prince."

Murong Fu said.

"Okay, let's take action tonight!"

After hearing this, Liu Ningchu believed his son.

"Mother, Madam, please prepare yourself. I will go and notify the other families."

"Go ahead, and be careful on your way!"

Liu Ningchu said.

Murong Fu opened the wooden board and walked into the secret passage. He went to notify the other families and asked them to take action tonight.

Murong Fu notified each family one by one, and by the time he came out of the cave, it was already noon.

He and Shuangjian ate wontons on the roadside and then left the capital.

When they returned to the camp, his men had bought twenty horse-drawn carriages and two carts of food, which were rations for the journey.

After everything was arranged, Murong Fu asked everyone to rest and take action at night.

Only by conserving your energy can you have the strength to act at night.

At the hour of Hai, Liu Ningchu and Wei Qingyan led the people from the palace to escape through the secret passage in an orderly manner.

In order to confuse the enemy, the old servants stayed behind on their own accord, as they would be a burden if they followed along.

At first Liu Ningchu disagreed, but they threatened to commit suicide, so Liu Ningchu had no choice but to agree.

Everyone knew that those who stayed behind would surely die. However, the capital was thousands of miles away from Goryeo, and it was not certain that these old people could reach the destination safely.

Therefore, they would die anyway, so they might as well stay and confuse the enemy to buy a glimmer of survival for their masters.

The same was true for the others. The elderly chose to stay, and only those who were afraid of death fled.

Murong Fu paced back and forth anxiously at the exit, occasionally looking out.

The first to come out was the Minister of Revenue and his family.

After Murong Fu arranged his grandfather's family into the carriages, Huo Jin, Zhang Chan, Zhuang Die and others also came out. Murong Fu arranged five carriages for them as there were more people from the two families.

Next came the Emperor, accompanied by the Empress, the Queen Mother, the Dowager Consort and about twenty other people, escorted by a hundred Imperial Guards.

After they met, there was no excessive small talk, as they all knew that time waited for no one.

Everyone got on the carriage and drove out of the capital in a grand manner.

At this time, the people were sleeping soundly and were unaware of the convoy outside.

When they arrived at the gate of the capital, the guards guarding the gate had been taken under control by Deputy General Yuan and his men early in the morning.

When they saw the convoy, they immediately opened the city gate and let the convoy pass.

After the troop left the capital, Deputy General Yuan killed the imperial guards, buried the bodies, closed the gate, locked it from the outside, and then led the Imperial Guards to chase after Murong Fu and his men.
