Yang Si was indeed a bit of a wimp. He had never thought that Jiang Pengji would so rapidly rise to power.
In just one or two years, she had gone from a figurehead county magistrate of Xiangyang District during its occupation by the Tsing Yi Army to her current position. She had become a "provincial magistrate" who almost had the entire province under her control.
For many people riding the ups and downs of officialdom, to go from a county magistrate to the provincial magistrate was a long road that was nearly impossible to navigate in a lifetime.
The more he learned about Jiang Pengji, the greater the urgency in Yang Si's heart became.
One could say that he was a wimp or a coward, but no matter what, being cowardly was better than dying.
Wei Ci and Yang Si had known each other for many years. Smart people communicate easily. Even without stating things explicitly, the two could understand each other's thoughts.
