Quick Wear: I and the Villain Beat the Scum Together

Chapter 102: Piao Piao v Crippled General 10

As soon as the sun rose, Yun Yan left, repeatedly reminding Qingfeng Mingyue to protect Si Ke, and then left reluctantly.

By the time he returned, it was already nightfall. Furthermore, he brought back a group of imperial guards, who completely surrounded the general's residence.

Seeing this scene, Si Jian couldn't help but ask, "What's going on? What happened again?"

"No! Don't think too much. These are people sent by the emperor to protect you." Yun Yan said.

Protection? No, she had already displayed the protective shield before, so why did she need these people's protection?

Seeing that Si Ke was puzzled, Yun Yan told him what happened today.

"Master Yuan An said that the destiny of this country lies with you, Princess!"

"What?" Si Ke was shocked. How could a ghost like her become the destiny of the nation?

Because he was a high-ranking monk, they hadn't asked Lao Liu to eavesdrop when they went to Si Ke today, fearing they would be discovered. Even after hearing the news, Si Ke still couldn't believe it.

"At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I went in to ask Master Yuan'an what exactly national destiny was and where it was. Master Yuan'an then asked, 'Whoever told us this, whoever made us alert, is the national destiny, or rather, the one who changes national destiny. Wasn't that you, Princess? After returning to the palace, we informed the Emperor of this matter, and the Emperor sent so many Imperial Guards. Since this concerns national destiny, we naturally cannot be careless."

Si Ke thought for a long time and murmured, "So, I can't be hurt by the national destiny? Because I am the national destiny? But if I really shoulder the national destiny, why would I die?"

Si Ke couldn't figure it out and almost got himself confused.

It was Lao Liu who reminded him again: "Host, you said it might be because you are the destiny of the nation, but the original owner was not. And now that you are staying in this world in her place, you have become the destiny of the nation."

After hearing this, Si Ke understood instantly. Indeed, this was the only explanation that made sense. "Sixth Brother, I didn't expect you to be useful."

Lao Liu was extremely happy. This was the first time the host had praised him after so many lifetimes.

Thinking things over, Si Ke said to Yun Yan, "I know what's going on, but these people are unnecessary. It's annoying to see them surrounded in three layers. If Zhou Yijin's evil spirits come in, they won't be able to do anything, right? Why don't you go tell father tomorrow and ask him to withdraw his men."

"Do you think the Emperor will listen to me?" Yun Yan had tried before, but the Emperor only gave him one word. If you don't want these people, then send the princess back to me. Of course, you can also ask me to send someone to pick her up. "Okay, the Emperor is right. Besides the evil spirits, Zhou Yijin also has experts under his command, right? If you don't like them, just pretend you can't see them. These people won't enter the palace, don't worry!"

This is Yun Yan who has his own ideas, indeed... not bad!

After that, Si Ke stopped paying attention to this. Indeed, those people wouldn't come in to disturb them. He then resumed his training with Yun Yan. At the same time, Si Ke also began to have Lao Liu track down Zhou Yijin and his group.

Because of the Emperor's wanted order, Zhou Yijin and Su Wenyue dared not show their faces at all. They had spent most of their time sleeping in the mountains, and now they had seized a stronghold and become the kings of the mountain.

"Host, have you ever thought about catching them all in one fell swoop now?" Lao Liu felt that this was an opportunity to give the enemy a good beating.

"You can only find out about the people who are visible among them, but what about the evil spirits? You don't know how many there are! If we go there rashly now, the cultivation of Yun Yan and I alone is not enough. The others who follow us will die. Let's wait a little longer!" Si Ke also understood what Lao Liu meant, but she didn't want to let others die innocently.

Fortunately, Zhou Yijin did not make any further moves, which made Si Ke feel a little relieved and concentrate on his cultivation.

Zhou Yijin, on the other hand, naturally wasn't going to just sit there and wait. Xuantong being abandoned had brought all his efforts to a complete failure. How could he accept this?

So he traveled all the way, searching for someone to replace Xuan Tong. However, how could such a person be so easy to find? Most of the people who found one were not of sufficient cultivation, and when he finally found one, they were unwilling to do such a heartless thing, so he killed them directly.

To avoid being abandoned, Xuan Tong selected some of Zhou Yijin's men and the bandits, teaching them magic every day. Just because he couldn't practice it himself didn't mean he couldn't teach others! As long as these people achieved some success, they could help Zhou Yijin later.

After Si Ke found out, she naturally told Yun Yan everything she knew. Yun Yan said that he had a way to deal with it, and the two of them stopped caring about it.

A year later, Zhou Yijin's army had made some progress, becoming a true sorcerer. He was quite satisfied with this. He had also recruited a significant number of soldiers during this time. These soldiers were no ordinary men; they were all bandits recruited from nearby mountains.

As for the common people, they had already been evacuated by the imperial court. The surrounding towns were deserted.

After recruiting the surrounding bandits, Zhou Yijin began to think about expanding his power and spreading it to other towns. Gradually, his power grew larger and larger, and he almost recruited all the bandits in Canglan Country, reaching tens of thousands of people.

The reason why he was able to proceed so smoothly was naturally due to Sike's help.

It's good to unify the mountain bandits! The court can catch them all in one fell swoop, and no longer have to go to suppress the bandits one by one, running all over the country, which is much easier.

Meanwhile, Si Ke and Yun Yan's training was almost complete. However, Si Ke hadn't considered transforming into a human until she'd dealt with Zhou Yijin. They had absolute force to deal with humans. As for dealing with ghosts, Yun Yan couldn't rely on her alone.

As for Yun Yan, he's been weaving a web lately. He even went out to find a lot of special and rare materials.

When asked what it was for, he just smiled mysteriously and said that there was a big battle ahead and they had to make full preparations, which aroused Si Kegou's curiosity.

On the other hand, Lao Liu was there teasing: "Host, you turned a good general into a Taoist priest. Isn't it a sense of accomplishment?"

"Yes! It's such a sense of accomplishment!" Si Ke replied shamelessly.

"After this battle, will you let him change his career?"

"Not impossible!" Si Ke replied after a moment's thought. She had never told Yun Yan about Yun Chaomo, nor had she revealed it to anyone else. She wasn't sure how he would feel if he knew his father had become the Ghost King.

However, she still planned to tell Yun Yan after this matter was over. He had the right to know. If Yun Yan wanted to see her, she could take him to see her.

Anyway, at least his wish has been fulfilled.
