Quick Wear: I and the Villain Beat the Scum Together

The Si family's mansion is not big and not well decorated. One room is enough for each person.

The main reason was that this place was already poor, and there were no large mansions for sale in the city. In addition, Sike had mentioned in the letter he wrote to them that there might be a war in the future, so there was no question of decorating the house.

Si Ke was welcomed into the hall, and after a while of greetings, Si Zhenting sent them away, leaving only his second uncle, third uncle, and a few brothers.

"Keke, your relationship with King Zhan..." Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Si Zhenting went straight to the point.

Si Ke was slightly stunned. How could she explain this? More than friendship, but less than lovers?

It's not that she couldn't sense Rong Xuan's feelings, and their relationship had warmed up quite a bit over the years, but that was all. At least, Rong Xuan had never mentioned wanting to marry her. And she hadn't asked about Lu Xian'er or Rong Xuan's plans.

"He helped me a lot in Beijing." After holding it in for a long time, Si Ke finally uttered these words.

"That's all!" Si Zhenting's tone was clearly filled with disbelief.

"Well, he and I have a mutually supportive relationship. Only by helping him overthrow the dog emperor now can the Si family be stable. Otherwise, who knows when the dog emperor will set his sights on our family again." She had escaped this disaster, but her second and third uncles still had daughters, and even if not, Rong Heng would find a way. Nowadays, it's a world of collective responsibility, with three clans implicated and nine clans executed at the slightest provocation. The Si family is such a big piece of fat meat, as long as Rong Heng is not overthrown, he will definitely be tempted.

"By the way, Dad, where have you moved all our granaries to now?" Si Ke asked the question that concerned him most.

"They are all stationed at the junction of Jiangnan and Northwest China, and the War King has also sent heavy troops to guard it. But you said in the letter that you would not transport it directly to the Northwest. Why is that? Wouldn't it be more convenient to transport it here? Besides, the War King's main forces are here, wouldn't they be able to better protect the food and grass?" This was something Si Zhenting had never been able to figure out, but since Si Xin had said so in writing, he naturally did as he was told.

"Dad, there are a total of 30 soldiers in the Northwest Army now. How many people will Rong Xuan take with him to fight when he leads his troops to attack the capital? How many people will be left to guard the Youmen Pass? If the Western Rong people lead their troops to attack again at this time, do you think the remaining troops can hold this pass? If not, then our granaries will be stored to make wedding dresses for others?" Si Ke made a simple analysis of the current situation, but Si Zhenting became more and more frightened as he listened. Not only him, but the rest of the people also felt worried.

With internal and external troubles, even if he was a war king, it would be difficult for him to win this battle. With insufficient troops and being attacked from both sides, how could he win?

At this moment, no one noticed how Si Ke, a girl from the boudoir, said this. They just thought that her experience had broadened her horizons and knowledge.

"But Dad, you don't have to worry too much. Since Rong Xuan dared to fight, he must have considered the pros and cons." Seeing their serious expressions, Si Ke immediately changed the subject: "By the way, Dad, how did you deal with our family's assets?"

"The Si family's businesses are spread all over the country, and we can't handle them all in a short time. And if we do anything too big, it will attract the attention of that bastard emperor. So Dad didn't do much about it. He just had everyone in the Si family move here in the name of business."

This was fine; as long as the property deeds and land titles were in their hands, the foundation could not be altered. At this point, preserving the talent was paramount.

Si Ke stayed at the Si family's house. During this time, Rong Xuan sent someone to pick her up, but she didn't go with them. After all, Rong Xuan was very busy during this period and had no time to take care of her. It didn't make any difference whether she went to his palace or not.

Instead, I felt more at ease at home, and from time to time I would pull my three brothers out for practice. I didn't ask for their martial arts skills to be very advanced, but I did need them to have the basic skills to protect themselves and their families. Otherwise, if that day really came, I wouldn't be able to count on others to save me.

It didn't take long for that day to arrive. Two months later, news arrived from the capital. Flyers were everywhere, plastered across the capital's major academies and among the common people. The flyers detailed all of Rong Heng's crimes during his reign. How he had exploited the people's wealth, recklessly built imperial palaces, and wasted the people's money. How he had, for his own selfish reasons, destroyed the innocence of innocent people, framed loyal officials, and persecuted his brothers... Dozens of other crimes were listed, all with clear evidence and a clear path forward.

Before this news could be contained and suppressed, it spread throughout the world.

Soon after, those whose families had been wronged, reduced to slavery or prostitution, or who had been exiled or sent into exile, all stood up and gradually gathered under the imperial city, demanding redress for their deceased family members and justice from the emperor.

And the number of these people has increased from a few at the beginning to dozens, and now to hundreds, and is still increasing.

Gradually, the scholars from the academy also joined the ranks of these people, clamoring at the palace gate every day.

The literati and poets criticized the situation verbally and pen-and-paper, and the world was in complete chaos.

Of course, it's not hard to see that someone had done something fishy here. Not to mention the convicted women, how did the exiled people even get here?

But what can be done about it? Those people are indeed honest officials, and their reputation has long been known throughout the country. With such influence, nothing else matters.

And Rong Xuan was waiting for this opportunity.

It is easy to start a war, but you must have a legitimate reason, otherwise it would be treason, which is unacceptable to the world.

Despite this, Rong Xuan didn't take any action. Instead, he immediately began evacuating the civilians. Not only the entire Youmen Pass, but also the people of the nearby towns. In short, as many as he could evacuate, he evacuated them all. This delay lasted for several months.

As for the Daxing Dynasty, several rebel armies with various names emerged, but he seemed to be completely invisible to them.

The Si family was naturally arranged to move to another place to ensure their safety.

"Keke, are you really going back to Helicobacter Pylostom?" Si Zhenting was completely worried and didn't understand what she was going back to do at this time?

"Dad, I will be fine, and the prince won't let me take risks." Si Ke naturally came along. Her original purpose was to settle the Si family and then return.

The abilities Si Ke had displayed during this period had frightened even him, as a father. But no matter how capable she was, what parent wouldn't worry about their children going to war? "But..."

"Dad, you believe me!" Si Ke didn't want to explain too much, but his eyes were extremely firm.

Si Zhenting finally compromised, even though Si Ke had never made her relationship with Rong Xuan public, and even though Rong Xuan had only visited the Si residence a handful of times during his time in Hemenguan. But he still knew that Si Ke and Rong Xuan had a special relationship.

What can he do? His children are grown up, and he can't control them just because he wants to...
