Jinghong Building

Chapter 449 Brother and sister

It was almost noon at this time, and the sun shone on He Zongqun's body, as if a circle of gold edges were inlaid.

He Shuting's eyes blurred for a moment, and she suddenly felt that He Zongqun in front of her was actually a little unfamiliar.

"Pretty, please get up and accept the order." He Zongqun's voice was cold, but he had an irresistible majesty.

He Shuting was stunned for a moment, answering the order? What order should I accept?

Only then did she see that there were many people behind He Zongqun. Among them, some of them were those she knew, some who she didn't know. They were all generals in the Chang'an army, local officials in Longxi County, and some unrestrained faces. She seemed to have never seen any more. Have seen it.

He Zongqun looked around and did not see Wu Guochang. He asked, "Where is the King of Chang'an?"

Hongxiu, who had been standing behind He Shuting, stepped forward and said to the at a loss of time: "Why don't you go and bring the King of Chang'an here to receive the order?"

The servant woke up Ru Meng, ran out in a panic and soon carried the Chang'an King who had just changed his pants.

Seeing Wu Guochang standing beside him like a fool, He Shuting was furious. She was not stupid, what else can I understand the situation in front of me?

He Zongqun betrayed her!

She suppressed her anger and the smile on her face became even weaker: "Brother, what's going on? What's the purpose? And who are these?"

She pointed to those strange faces.

He Zongqun said, "You can't blame the concubine for not knowing them. They came from Zhangye and Zhuanglangwei to witness this important moment together."

Zhangye? Ganzhou Wei? Zhuang Langwei? Hexi area?

He Shuting had heard of these two places a long time ago. She had heard Wu Ji talk about the importance of these two places, and the Dark King, who used to be the General of Zhangye.

Are those people the officials from these two places?

They actually came to Longxi County?

Why?

Seeing that she was still moving, Hongxiu reached out and pressed her neck. He Shuting's body couldn't help but kneel down.

Her eyes widened in shock. She wanted to ask Hongxiu why, but her neck was tightly pressed by Hongxiu, making her head unable to move.

She could only kneel on the ground in humiliation. When the wet nurse saw it, she quickly picked up Wu Guochang and knelt down together.

The officials who followed He Zongqun to the ground saw the two of them kneeling down.

He Zongqun took out a scroll from his sleeve, spread it out, and read aloud: "By the will of heaven, the order of the general of the country!"

He Shuting's head buzzed, General of the State Supervisor, she knew who this is, He Ran!

Although everyone in the world calls her He Dazhuan, He Shuting still remembers that He Ran once named her a general. Later, she had several generals under her. In order to distinguish, she added the title of a state-manager to herself. .

He Ran, it’s He Ran!

He Zongqun's voice was ups and downs. He Shuting discovered for the first time that He Zongqun was not the humble gentleman she remembered. He Zongqun was a powerful official at this time.

".Now we have Ganzhou Army, Zhuanglang Army, and Chang'an Army, and the soldiers of the three armies are all heroic and brave, defeating the enemy and defending the territory, making the barbarian bandits frightened and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

What He Zongqun said? He Shuting couldn't hear clearly. She felt like there were stormy waves in her ears, making her shaking.

Ganzhou Army and Zhuang Lang Army all surrendered to He Ran, as well as Chang'an Army, Chang'an Army, what qualifications does He Ran have to commend Chang'an Army?

This is her army, it is hers!

What's up to He Ran?

She subconsciously covered her ears with her hands, saying, "She should not listen, she should not continue listening."

However, He Zongqun's voice still penetrated into her ears: "The King of Chang'an Wu Guochang was born after the Wu family. He was very sad because he lost his father since childhood. He specially ordered the Grand Marshal of Longxi He Zongqun to send someone to **** him into the capital. Female raising and teaching in the clan”

Another buzzing sound, He Shuting felt like she was struck by lightning. He Ran not only wanted to steal the Chang'an army, but also Wu Guochang!

"No, I don't agree. He is my son, my son!"

"She can't give birth to a son, she wants to steal my son, I won't allow it!"

"No one can steal him!"

He Shuting had some strength from where he got it, so she broke free from Hongxiu's hands and snatched Wu Guochang from her wet nurse's arms. She pinched Wu Guochang's neck tightly and roared at He Zongqun: "He Ran wants him, right? Then I'll do you. Strike him to death!”

She can't take back the Chang'an army, but she can kill Wu Guochang!

Wu Guochang was already shocked. He felt that his mother's hand was getting tighter and tighter. His neck was already very uncomfortable with the heavy collar. Now he was pinching it by his mother again. He felt very uncomfortable. He opened his mouth and wanted to beg. Mother should not pinch him anymore, but his mouth opened, but he couldn't make a sound. He stretched out his little hand and was brave enough to try to spread his mother's hand, but he didn't have the strength and his little body couldn't stop twisting. , twist.

He Shuting was still confronting He Zongqun. Everything happened today too suddenly, making her unprepared.

She didn't know how she wanted to change this situation, and Wu Guochang was the only one she could hurt and her only bargaining chip now.

He Zongqun looked at her, with no warmth in his eyes: "He Shuting, that is your biological flesh and blood. Do you want him to die?"

He Shuting sneered: "That **** He Ran wants to steal him, okay, then I will strangle him to death, you take the corpse to report."

He Zongqun shook his head: "The boss didn't want to steal him, he just wanted him to live in the capital. The Wu clan has sent two respectable female relatives to Beijing. The King of Chang'an is a little older and can be with the nobles in the capital. Wouldn’t it be better to study and practice martial arts together than to stay in this northwest?”

"What a big deal! He Ran." He Shuting's attention was on He Zongqun, and she didn't notice that Hongxiu had reached behind her. She only felt a sudden pain in the back of her neck, and then she fainted.

Even though she fainted, her ten fingers still tightly wrapped around Wu Guochang's neck.

Hongxiu pried her fingers hard and rescued Wu Guochang, who was already dying, and the doctor in the palace was called over. Seeing Wu Guochang like this, the doctor was shocked and rushed to rescue him.

After a while, Wu Guochang cried out.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and He Zongqun finished reading the scroll in his hand.

From this moment on, the Chang'an Army, Ganzhou Army, and Zhuang Lang Army changed their flags and all joined the Ran Army.

He Zongqun took the post of Grand Marshal of Longxi.

Some administrative officials in the three places were removed from office, while others were retained.

King Wu Guochang of Chang'an entered Beijing.

The concubine He Shuting stayed in the Chang'an Palace and was not allowed to step out of the palace in this life.

When He Shuting woke up, it was dark all around, and her head was still hurting. It took a while before she remembered what happened today.

She looked around and it was her bedroom, everything was as usual, she was still here. "Come, come!"

He Shuting called several times before she heard the sound of opening the door. The light was dim and she couldn't see the person coming clearly, so she could only see a tall figure walking in. .

She was startled and her body shrank into a ball involuntarily: "Who are you? Bold, get out quickly, come, come, come!"

The man had already walked to the bedside. He took out a fire note and lit a lamp beside the bed. The light illuminated his face. It was a face that made He Shuting look familiar.

"Second sister, don't you know me anymore?"

He Shuting was stunned. The second sister, a name that was as far away as a different life. Although the person in front of her was tall and strong, she was still a young man in her twenties.

"Are you Shuqiao?"

Shuqiao, He Shuqiao, how long has it been since she remembered this name? Three years, five years?

It seems that after she left Jinyang, she never remembered it again.

"Yes, second sister, I am Shuqiao, we finally meet again."

He Shuting looked at him in disbelief: "Why are you here? How did you find me? Was He Ran? She asked you to come?"

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

A trace of disappointment flashed in He Shuqiao's eyes, and he shook his head: "Second sister, my commander is General He Dali. I made a contribution to the battle when Wu Ji defeated Xianyang. That was my first time."

He Shuting's face changed drastically. She raised her hand and slapped He Shuqiao in the face: "You have no conscience, Wu Ji is your brother-in-law, don't you know? He was defeated in that battle, but you Have you made a contribution? You were in the Ran army at that time, right? You forgot who brought you from Zhending to Jinyang, you forgot how I took care of you when I was in Jinyang, you all Forgot?

You are in He Dali's army, He Dali is stationed in Xi'an. When I escaped from Xi'an, you were in Xi'an. Do you know how embarrassed I was at that time?

You just keep watching me suffer, you ungrateful wolf!

It’s He Ran, this is what He Ran taught you, right?

You watched me suffer, and now I am bullied, do you know?

If you still recognize me as your sister, you will kill He Zongqun and kill him!

You are the son of the He family's legitimate branch. He is just a poor relative in the side branch. He is not worthy of carrying shoes for our family. You go and kill him, kill him! ”

He Shuqiao stared at the woman in front of him who looked like a crazy woman. Is this his second sister?

He knew that the second sister had made a mistake, but whenever he thought of the second sister, his mind was still the second sister sitting in the rank hall embroidered, the quiet and graceful second sister.

He wanted to tell his second sister that in recent years, he followed He Dali to suppress bandits everywhere and made many military achievements.

When he was young, he refused to be an official, and he saved up all his military achievements just to compensate his second sister.

The second sister killed the eldest brother, which was a death sentence.

Later, he grew up and gradually realized that the contribution he earned with his life was simply unable to compensate his second sister because he did too many wrong things.

He can't afford it.

This time, He Dali sent a team of people to Longxi to protect He Zongqun. He volunteered to come. He knew that if he missed this time, he might never have the chance to see his second sister again. This is the only time he has seen her. The second sister had the opportunity, so he came.

He Shuqiao smiled bitterly: "Second sister, I owe you this slap. Thank you for bringing me from Zhending to Jinyang back then so that I can grow up safely and grow up safely. Second sister, thank you. ”

After saying that, He Shuqiao knelt beside the bed and kowtowed three times respectfully.

He Shuting closed her eyes and said hatefully, "I don't need to thank me."

He Shuqiao stood up and said to He Shuting: "Brother's body has been sent back to Zhending and buried in the ancestral tomb. Two years ago, the Yan family found her mother's whereabouts and found her body. I asked someone to give her money. When we went back, we asked the Yan family to buy a cemetery for our mother. "

He Shuting snorted coldly: "What are you talking about to me about these things? Since the day I left Zhending, it has nothing to do with them."

He Shuqiao said, "Second sister, my nephew is going to be sent to the capital. Don't worry, the eldest sister will not hurt him. If I have the chance, I will also visit him in the capital."

Hearing He Shuqiao talk about Wu Guochang, He Shuting's eyes glared: "What did you say? He Zongqun sent Guochang away? This bastard, lackey! He Ran, she even wanted to rob my son. , bitch!”

He Shuqiao shook his head: "The eldest sister didn't want to steal your son. She just couldn't bear to let the descendants of the Wu family stay away."

"How could he be wandering outside with my mother? He Ran has no kindness. She is worried that my son will one day raise an army and take back everything that belongs to him! So she wants to hold my son in the capital, under her nose. .” He Shuting gritted her teeth.

He Shuqiao sighed: "But what belongs to my nephew in this world? Is the Chang'an army really his? He gives orders, will the Chang'an army obey? If you are talking about the old subordinate left by Wu Dongming , those that were not his, Wu Dongming left all his people and his money to Wu Ju. As for Wu Ji, the friendship that the eldest sister and him formed on the battlefield had long been consumed by you.

My nephew has nothing, and even the so-called King of Chang'an is something you can call yourself and count. ”

He Shuqiao looked around and said, "This royal palace is also owned by the Meng family."

He looked at He Shuting calmly, as if he could see her deepest heart: "Second sister, you want to keep your nephew, but you can't bear to leave him. Is it really because the mother and son are in love?

If so, why did you strangle him to death today? ”

He Shuting wanted to say no, but her lips moved and she didn't say a word.

He Shuqiao stood up straight and said, "Second sister, I will **** my nephew into Beijing in person. Don't worry, I will definitely send him to you safely.

When I come back from the capital, I will go to Zhending to worship my ancestors. I will sing an incense stick for you in front of my mother's grave. ”

After saying that, He Shuqiao turned around resolutely and walked out of the house without looking back.

The heavy carved wooden door was closed again, and the surroundings were silent. In the vast world, there seemed to be only He Shuting.

He Shuting sat blankly on the bed. She remembered vaguely that when she first arrived in Jinyang, she sat in the courtyard of Shantang. The warm sunshine shone on her shoulders. The small Shuqiao told her happily that she was here. He can make money by doing work, he can pick up beans and peel peanuts with other children, and his second sister can also do needlework.

She forgot what she said at that time, and only remembered that she was very happy and satisfied at that moment.

He Shuting shook her head hard, thinking about what to do, and the past in the charity hall was her shame.

She got out of bed and wanted to walk out of the room. She was still a noble concubine.
