Chapter 28 Concubine v War King 10
Chapter 28 Concubine v War King 10
Si Ke had a lot of food, all kept by Lao Liu. But how to get it out became a problem. Whether it would scare these people or not was a big deal, but being mistaken for a monster was a sure thing.
Just when I was struggling with the idea, I saw Rong Xuan handing me two bright red fruits. I didn't know where he picked them, but they were so bright and juicy.
“Just make do with it for now.” After handing it to her, Rong Xuan joined the group eating the raw meat.
There is no way. The battle just now consumed too much energy. If I don’t eat something to replenish my energy, it will be difficult to hold on if I encounter pursuers again.
After everyone finished eating, Rong Xuan was about to give orders and prepare to set off, but Si Ke stopped him.
"Your Highness, have you ever thought about... taking the official route?" Si Ke asked seriously.
"Miss Si... Miss, the official road is now covered with portraits of our master. How can we leave?" Tian Yi stood up with a frown. He had previously looked up to Si Ke during the previous fight. But now, she was afraid she couldn't endure the hardships of the wild mountains and ridges, and couldn't get used to eating raw meat, so she came up with this plan. But she hadn't expected that not only everyone's life was at stake here, but Rong Xuan's as well.
No one else said anything, but their thoughts were almost the same as Tianyi's.
Rong Xuan stood by and said nothing. He knew that Si Ke was not the kind of person who spoke without purpose. He must have some ideas when he said that.
"Everyone, please rest here for a while. Your Highness, please follow me." Si Ke didn't want to explain too much and pulled Rong Xuan away.
Everyone's faces turned even darker. He was being pulled aside to persuade someone.
Ling Shuang, on the other hand, remained extremely quiet. She had come to understand Si Ke better than anyone else during their time together. This woman had many devious ideas, but she had never made a mistake.
They didn't wait long, and soon they saw Si Ke coming out with an ordinary-looking man with a scar on his face.
A familiar figure, but a completely different face. If the clothes hadn't changed, they would have thought Si Ke had fallen in love with someone else.
"This... is the master?" Tian opened his mouth so big that a duck egg could be stuffed in it.
Si Ke smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Now, are you still worried?"
Who would dare to worry? Everyone was shaking their heads like rattles, thinking that their master had found a treasure. This Miss Si really knew everything.
After finishing with Rong Xuan, Si Ke called Tian Yi, asked him to sit still, and started fiddling with his face.
Tianyi was Rong Xuan's follower when he was in the palace, and his portrait is also on this wanted poster.
Si Ke did not avoid others this time. In a few moments, Tianyi turned into a big man with a black face.
Everyone was shocked again, but Ling Shuang, who had been silent the whole time, raised a question: "Miss, your makeup skills are good, but it's summer now. If you sweat, won't all your efforts be wasted."
"It won't have any effect unless they rub it in too hard," Si Ke said with certainty. You're kidding! These cosmetics were all top-tier in the world last century, and they can't even be waterproof. What's the point of them?
With Si Ke's words, everyone felt relieved.
Next comes the assignment of identities.
The first proposal was for the master to bring his entire family back home, which would explain the large number of people. They could also ride horses or carriages openly, which would make travel much faster.
However, Si Ke disagreed and shook his head, saying, "There were more than one or two people who escaped that day. The enemy is now very clear about our number. If we were all together, it would definitely arouse suspicion."
"How about we split up?" Rong Xuan seemed to have thought of this as well, and said with a smile, "The two of us will form a team, pretending to be chivalrous warriors. As for them... they've been secret guards for so long. If they don't even know how to hide and pass as civilians, then they don't have the qualifications to be secret guards anymore."
Everyone...
If you are not the master, just say so if you want to be alone with Miss Si. There is no need to put pressure on them!
Si Ke suddenly perked up, his eyes sparkling. He stepped forward and took Rong Xuan's arm. "Have you heard of the male and female thieves in the Jianghu? They're both good and evil, and they do things based on their moods. Why don't we pretend to be them first?"
"Okay! Then pretend to be them first." Rong Xuan smiled indulgently. Even though he was facing danger at any moment, he had to admit that having Si Ke by his side made him feel completely different. She was like a beam of light, illuminating every dark part of him.
So, this group of people entered the city quietly and then dispersed.
……
But joking aside, it was impossible for Rong Xuan and Si Ke to really flirt on the road. They both knew that the most important thing was to hurry on their way.
Because of Si Ke's disguise and the fact that they were now taking the official road, the speed was many times faster than before.
To avoid any trouble, Rong Xuan changed routes several times. They never encountered the pursuers again. A month later, they finally made it back to the northwest.
This checkpoint in the northwest is called Youmen Pass, and outside Youmen Pass are the Western Rong people.
As soon as Rong Xuan arrived, he rushed back to the barracks. There was too much to attend to, and he couldn't afford to delay. As for Si Kema, he stayed in the city to meet up with the Si family.
The head of the Si family, Si Zhenting, who is also Si Ke's father, had already led the Si family and waited at the city gate early in the morning.
Seeing Si Ke in a flamboyant red dress and his handsome appearance as he dismounted from his horse, he almost burst into tears.
At this moment, Si Ke's eyes were red because of his original body, and he was just about to pounce.
"Good child, good child, but you have suffered a lot." Si Zhenting looked at Si Ke lovingly and reached out to stroke her hair.
"Dad!" Si Ke called out awkwardly. God knows she had never had any relatives in her past or present life, let alone family affection. However awkward she was, her body was very active.
The next moment, Si Ke’s second uncle and second aunt, third uncle and third aunt, three brothers, cousins and a large group of cousins surrounded him and drowned him.
If Si Zhenting hadn't finally been unable to bear it and roared, just facing these people's barrage of questions would have driven Si Ke crazy.
It's no wonder the Si family is so welcoming; it's their family motto... harmony and unity! No one is selfish, brothers are friendly and respectful, and they've always been united. This is how the Si family grew so large and strong, becoming the richest family in Jiangnan and remaining so strong for so many years.
The original owner was Si Zhenting's beloved daughter, his only child. Rong Heng had issued an imperial decree to take the original owner into the harem. Si Zhenting had immediately disobeyed the order, and not just him, but the entire Si family protested on her behalf, refusing to allow the original owner into the harem. But didn't this play into Rong Heng's hands?
The people should not fight against the officials. No matter how rich the Si family is, they are still just the people. In order to protect the Si family, the original owner resolutely chose to enter the palace and told Si Zhenting that she actually loved Rong Heng.
With Si Zhenting's mindset, how could he not know that the original owner was coaxing him? He had never even met the emperor, and he had only heard a few rumors from the streets. How could he be in love with him? It was just to comfort him.
Little did he know that such comfort would make the old father even more sad.
But now, his Coco has finally escaped from that cage and returned home.
