Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng in surprise and immediately understood something.

“If you’re really worried about your family, I think it’s better to let them hide in the mountains first! Is there a deep mountain near your family’s home?”

“Why do they have to enter the mountains?” Shu Ruyue asked in confusion, “My family’s home is near the mountains, so it’s easy for them to enter the mountains!”

“In that case, that’s even better! Let your family enter the mountains and stay there for a while. Bring everything from home, especially food and money. If they really can’t take them away, find a place to hide them or bury them,” Li Xiaoran said. Upon hearing this, Shu Ruyue looked at Li Xiaoran and then at Luo Cheng.

“What about the commoners?”

“Don’t worry, the commoners are safer, especially a big family like yours, since your family is good at treating external injuries! ” Li Xiaoran said and emphasized the last two words.

Seeing that Luo Cheng had tacitly agreed to all this, Shu Ruyue understood something.

Without asking further, Shu Ruyue quickly went back to write a letter.

After sending Shu Ruyue off, Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng.

“Ruyue heard me reminding Meng Yan today. I forgot that Ruyue’s family still lives near the capital!”

Luo Cheng knew what Li Xiaoran meant. As he sat in front of his desk, he poured himself a cup of tea.

“Miss Shu has always treated you as a friend and has gone through thick and thin with you many times, so we should remind her of these things. Just as you said previously, the Shu family is very special. If the government really fights with that rebel army, who knows what the Shu family will experience?! I wonder how influential Shu Ruyue is in the Shu family. I hope the Shu family can listen to Shu Ruyue and quickly pack their things to hide in the mountains.”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she understood.

“Husband, are we really going to war?

“I don’t know! When I went to see Father today, Father didn’t tell me about this, but I received news that the army is still rushing towards the Imperial City and shows no signs of turning back. Li Xiaoran, do you remember what happened when we went to Eagle Village?” Luo Cheng asked.

“You mean, this rebel army was created by those people from Eagle Village?” Li Xiaoran was smart and knew Luo Cheng’s way of speaking very well, so she immediately understood the hidden meaning in Luo Cheng’s words.

Luo Cheng sneered and said, “That’s right. My men saw some familiar faces in that rebel army. I don’t think there’s any mistaking it!”

Li Xiaoran thought of something and said, “No wonder Huang Hong and the others from Eagle Village kept wanting to obtain the king of eagles back then. I’m afraid they’ve already succeeded and used the king of eagles to capture the treasure-hunting rat. In the end, they found the gold mine!”

Luo Cheng shook his head and denied Li Xiaoran’s guess, “It’s not that easy to capture treasure-hunting rats, and gold mining isn’t that easy. I’ve sent people to pay attention to the situation in Eagle Village, but I didn’t hear the news that Huang Hong and the others had found the gold mine. Therefore, the money of this rebel army probably came from another source!”

At this point, Luo Cheng paused.

“I keep feeling that this rebellion has something to do with the mania incident. Otherwise, why would the timing be so coincidental?”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she also felt that this matter was a little suspicious.

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she also felt that this matter was a little suspicious.

“They might not give up. They’ll only give it their all! The army has already been raised, so there’s no way to hide it anymore! Now that the arrow is on the bow, they have no choice but to fire it! This is why I agreed when Shu Ruyue came to ask if she could send a message to her family. This battle might affect the innocent, especially these families who know how to treat external injuries. They will definitely be targeted by the rebels in the end!” Luo Cheng explained.

“Besides, although Father has never been responsible towards me, from his performance after he sat on the throne, he’s a good emperor who cares about the people. Therefore, there won’t be a fight outside the capital, nor will they let the rebels reach the capital! I believe that Father definitely sent troops to stop that army! And the best place to stop the army is here!”

As Luo Cheng spoke, he stood up, took out the map, and pointed at a place.

“Look at this place! The terrain in the middle is flat, but there’s a mountain here. This is the only way to enter the capital, so it’s very suitable to set up an ambush here! Even if we can’t stop the rebels, as long as we guard this mountain well, we’ll stop the rebels outside the capital and they won’t be able to approach it. And the capital is supported by food-producing lands in two other directions, so we’re not afraid that the rebels will cut off the capital’s supply!”

“What if there are more rebels?” Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked.

Luo Cheng shook his head when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.

“No, the rebels might have a backup plan, but it definitely won’t be to the extent that the government won’t notice it. I keep feeling that my father has a backup plan, so let’s wait and see!”

Li Xiaoran nodded when she heard Luo Cheng’s words.

“Actually, I’m not anxious about the crisis in the capital at all. I have a feeling that the arrival of the rebels won’t affect the capital that much.”

“I think so too, but we still have to stock up on more food!” Luo Cheng said thoughtfully.

“By the way, it’s been so long since the palace examination, but why haven’t I heard any news?” Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked.

“Don’t worry, the news will be out tomorrow! This examination has indeed been delayed for a long time! By the way, you might not know, but the man Li Yan married scored third place!”

“Third place?” When Li Xiaoran heard this, she asked, “Who’s the top scholar?”

“The top scholar is the son of a low-ranking official in the capital. This person was ongma11Y a very Impressive person, DUE ror some reason, ne was mocKea for having no talent. Logically speaking, he should have been able to participate in the general examination long ago! It’s just that for some reason, he delayed it for three years and only participated in the examination this year.” Luo Cheng revealed what he knew.

“Interesting! In the past, he was very powerful. Later on, he gradually lost his fame, but now, he shocked everyone with his performance! It seems that the top scholar of this year is also a person with a history!” Li Xiaoran said.

“That’s right! People who have such experiences won’t end up that bad in the future. It seems that the imperial court can recruit some more talents now!” Luo Cheng said with a smile.

Although he didn’t like his father, Luo Cheng still hoped that their dynasty would get better and better..
