Jinghong Tower

Even if He Randang appointed Zhong Yi as the commander of the Jin Yiwei, he would still be the Jin Yiwei. However, after being promoted, his original subordinates would still follow him.

He Ran didn't even ask him why he betrayed the Empress Dowager. Even Zhong Yi found it incredible.

Looking at Zhong Yi's leaving figure, He Ran's eyes were cold.

He Ran would not doubt the time when Zhong Yi's dream started, even if it was one morning.

That day, He Jinghong appeared in Zhou Chi's life.

How He Jinghong rescued Zhou Chi, and when Zhou Chi followed He Jinghong, no third party except He Jinghong and Zhou Chi knew.

The people sent by Zhou Tong to hunt down Zhou Chi only lost Zhou Chi. None of them saw Zhou Chi being rescued, and Mrs. Di didn't care about Zhou Chi. After Zhou Chi returned, Mrs. Di I just knew that Zhou Chi was not dead, but was adopted by He Jinghong and raised as an adult.

Therefore, that was a day that only belonged to Zhou Chi and He Jinghong.

Even Mrs. Di and Min Lan didn't know about this date.

He Jinghong was still there, so it became clear why he deliberately dreamed about the day of King Yao's birthday.

Either Zhongyi was lying to her and there was no such dream, or that little bastard Xiaochizi was reborn.

If she is reborn, just be reborn. She can be reborn herself, but she can also prevent others from being reborn.

He Ran didn't know what kind of mentality Zhong Yi had at this time.

Are you worried that she will steal the Zhou family's power, or do you want to take her along and ascend to the throne again?

No matter which one it is, it's all bullshit in He Ran's eyes!

The moment He Jinghong walked out of the palace, her feud with Zhou Chi ended there.

In this life, she is He Ran.

She promised him that there would be no more He Family Army in the world.

So she didn't use the name He Jiajun when she raised the army, but called her Ran Jun.

She had given him enough face, so what else could she do?

If Zhong Yi is really Zhou Chi, He Ran can trust him to do things. Zhou Chi is still very reliable, whether he was the king before or the emperor later.

At this time, Xiaoli, who was going to see off the guests, walked in with a smile on her face.

"Master, Commander Zhong has already paid the fine of two thousand taels. He didn't bring enough money, so he asked someone to get it. I guess he will never dare to make a mistake in front of the master next time."

He Ran smiled, she had something to ask Zhong Yi to do now.

The next day, He Ran gave Zhong Yi an order concerning Zheng Xuan.

He Ran captured Zheng Xuan's wife and children, but before that, she suspected that Zheng Xuan had already taken action.

That day in Jinghong Tower, Zhong Yi scared off Zheng Xuan. After that, Jinyang City changed hands and the entire city was under martial law, but Zheng Xuan disappeared like dewdrops.

It is very likely that he had escaped from Jinyang before the city was closed.

He Ran said to Zhong Yi: "As early as Pingyang, Zheng Xuan sent assassins to assassinate King Zhao, but the entire army was wiped out. In order to protect myself, I sent people to kidnap Zheng Xuan's wife and children, so Commander Zhong does not have to show mercy. If you find traces of Zheng Xuan or find out what Zheng Xuan did, just confront him head-on, we have hostages in our hands."

Zhong Yi took the order and left.

Killing Li Ze didn't count before, but now this was the first task He Ran gave him.

Zhong Yi attaches great importance to it.

He has now moved out of Jinghong Tower. He Ran rewarded him with an official residence in Jinyang City.

That house used to belong to Fu Yansheng. Fu Yansheng's wife Li and two concubines lived here, and Fu Yansheng's two legitimate sons went to Xinzhou as early as last year.

Upon learning that Jinyang had been lost, Mrs. Li and her two concubines committed suicide.

He Ran didn't know it at the time, so he sent He Xiaohui to lead people to search Fu Yansheng's mansion, only to find that Fu Yansheng had been dead for several days. Except for a few loyal servants guarding the body of the mistress, the rest of the people had already died before Mrs. Li committed suicide. Dismissed the people.

The house was very new, but unfortunately someone had died and it had a strong evil spirit. He Ran felt that he had to find someone with a strong evil spirit to live here, otherwise he would not be able to control it.

For example, Zhong Yi was a perfect match for this house, so she awarded this house to Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi moved into this house with the people he brought from Jinyiwei. There used to be more than 300 people in this house, but Zhongyi had less than 100 Jinyiwei, and it was very spacious to live in all of them.

Therefore, this is not only Zhong Yi's residence, but also the temporary government office of Jin Yiwei.

He Ran selected three more houses from the other houses confiscated this time and distributed them as rewards. One was given to Tao Gu, one was given to He Dali, and the other was left to He Xiulong.

She kept the rest for the time being and saved it for later. After all, Jinyang was only a temporary base camp, and she would build a larger and more prosperous city.

At this time, exciting good news came from Pingyang. Pingyang and Fenzhou were recovered across the board, and He Xiulong made great contributions.

He Ran immediately named He Xiulong a brave general and ordered him to stay in Pingyang to rest and wait for retribution.

Now, He Ran is waiting for news from King Jin.

King Jin will soon attack the capital.

He Ran's guess was correct. At this time, the King of Jin had already reached Zhuozhou. The guard of Zhuozhou was named Meng Wangsheng, the son-in-law of Zhongyi Marquis Xie Hongming.

When the King of Qi took the Emperor south, he took all the family members of the Xie and Meng families with him. Everyone knows what this means.

It's a pity that Xie Hongming died suddenly, and there was no time to arrange for the children in the family. The palace sent someone to the door, and Mrs. Xie couldn't leave even if she wanted to.

The situation of the Meng family is similar. Although Meng Wangsheng is alive, he is in Zhuozhou. He is guarding the city gate for the emperor. The emperor does not trust him and wants to take his wife and children with him. What can he do, unless he rebels, but he does not have that determination.

Meng Wangsheng watched helplessly as Xie and Meng's family went south and became hostages, but there was nothing he could do.

What makes Meng Wangsheng even more sad is that news came from the capital that the Wu'an Hou Mansion did not go south. The whole family, except Lu Laoer, who was far away at the border, was all in the capital.

Of course, Meng Wangsheng also heard the news that the prince of Wu'an, Lu Zhen, had left the capital more than a year ago and disappeared.

This is the confidence of the Wu'an Hou Mansion. They sent away the most outstanding son in the family, and the others want to rebel, surrender, and are not afraid of anything they want to do.

Meng Wangsheng regretted it so much that he almost cried.

Why didn't he send his son away?

And father-in-law, why didn’t you send your brother-in-law away?

Now he is doing well, he is working hard on the front line, and his family and his Yue family have all been taken over by the King of Qi.

It is conceivable that Meng Wangsheng fought this battle with all his life.

He can't do anything unless he fights hard. His whole family is in the palm of his hand.

Zhuozhou was the last line of defense for the capital. Zhuozhou had ten times as many soldiers and horses as the capital. In addition, it had a strong city wall. Although the Jin army came fiercely, they fought for ten days but still failed to capture the city.

The King of Jin was not in a hurry. He just attacked fiercely outside the city, but life inside the city was definitely not easy.
