Jinghong Tower

Chapter 265 Go to war and make achievements

He Ran only found out that He Shuting had recovered from her illness the next day. She was too busy, so she forgot about the matter after knowing that He Shuting was fine.

He Ran was preparing food and fodder. Since the black girl had withdrawn from Yudi, then the King of Kaizhou should be left to her.

Since entering Jinyang, He Ran has been preparing food and recruiting new soldiers almost all the time, spending money like running water.

Fortunately, King Jin's private treasury was at the bottom, and there were more than 600,000 taels of silver stolen last time in Pingyao. In addition, there were several large and small mines. Although He Ran was still stretched, he could finally guarantee that He Xiulong and Lu Zhen also prepared some supplies and money from Kaizhou.

This time, He Ran was going to lead the troops in person.

The day after Lu Zhen arrived at Zhending, Zhong Yi was recalled to Jinyang by He Ran, and Feng Xueying also successfully completed the handover of government affairs in Zhending Mansion. Several new county magistrates took office, and Feng Xueying and his team followed suit. Return to Jinyang with Zhongyi.

After they came back, He Ran asked them to pay attention to Fu Yansheng's movements at all times. She sent Fu Yansheng a thunder to see when the thunder would explode.

After all these things were arranged, He Ran met Zhou Jian.

Zhou Jian was very reluctant to learn that she was leaving Jinyang.

"Sister, can't you let someone else go? There are many generals in the army, so I don't need my sister to go there myself."

He Ran smiled: "There are some things that you still have to do yourself. Don't worry, I will be back as soon as possible."

Zhou Jian had tears in his eyes, like a child about to be abandoned.

He Ran met Bai Yan in private and gave him a few words of advice.

Two days later, He Ran was appointed as the commander-in-chief, and He Dali was appointed as the vanguard officer, leading an army of 100,000 people to march towards Yudi.

Knowing that Master He was about to go on an expedition again, the people in Jinyang City spontaneously went to the city gate to say goodbye.

Zhou Jian dressed in princely attire and personally served the expedition wine.

He Ran took the wine, offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, drew out his sword and raised it high: "All soldiers, go out with me and make great achievements!"

"Go to war and make great achievements!"

The shouts were like thunder, shocking all directions.

The people outside the city gate also shouted together: "Master, take care, Master, please return home in triumph soon!"

He Shuting and He Shuqiao were also among the crowd. He Shuqiao waved his fists excitedly. One day, he would also stand in the expedition team. He would follow his elder sister to charge into battle and conquer cities and territories. He would also be drawn in the comic strips. .

He Shuting's eyes were always on He Ran.

This was the first time she saw He Ran since arriving in Jinyang.

If she hadn't known in advance that this was He Ran, He Shuting would have thought she was wrong.

The last time I saw He Ran was in Zhending. That day, He Ran went to Beijing with Mr. He. She was cautious and looked nervous.

That was the last impression He Ran left on He Shuting.

Although she later learned that He Ran's caution and nervousness were all fake, she also knew that just leaving a fake seal turned the He family upside down.

She knew that He Ran was an extremely powerful person and someone she couldn't afford to offend.

But until today, when He Shuting saw He Ran again, she realized how stupid her father and biological mother were back then. They were so stupid that they thought He Ran could be controlled by them.

In front of him was He Ran, who was dressed in military uniform, armor, and a silver helmet. He looked heroic and majestic. He Shuting had met Wu Ji and Lu Zhen. Before that, she thought they were very noble and majestic. But when she saw He Ran, He Shuting suddenly knew what momentum was.

He Ran was not as powerful as them, but he was more powerful than them in terms of momentum.

He Shuting watched He Ran galloping on horseback, leading her army to the front, with smoke billowing and flames roaring.

He Shuting was about to take He Shuqiao back when she looked up and saw Xiao Zhao Wang Zhou Jian.

There were still tears on Zhou Jian's face, but he couldn't hide his relieved expression. He Shuting saw a smile in Zhou Jian's eyes.

Zhou Jian was only a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, and he was still not able to completely express his emotions and anger. Although he had done a good job, He Shuting still saw the clues.

He Shuting's heart trembled. King Zhao must be afraid of He Ran in his heart. Otherwise, why would he look like this when He Ran went out to fight?

He Ran was loyal to him, and she fought for him when she went out to fight. Shouldn't he be grateful?
But if He Ran wasn't for him, then for whom?
He Ran was not married, had no children, and was almost divorced from the He family. If the empire she built was not given to King Zhao, who else could it be given to?
He Jinghong also fought for Emperor Taizu back then.

He Shuting suddenly realized that she had thought wrong.

Maybe everyone else, like her, had it all wrong.

Because He Ran is the descendant of He Jinghong, everyone thought that she would be like He Jinghong.

He Jinghong was assisting the great ancestor of the Zhou family, and He Ran would definitely inherit He Jinghong's legacy and assist the descendants of the Zhou family.

King Zhao Zhou Jian is a descendant of the Zhou family, and He Ran found it after a lot of hard work.

He Shuting was shocked by her discovery. If He Ran didn't really want to assist King Zhao, and she didn't want to give the country she had worked hard to build to her future husband, then why was she working so hard now?
Could it be that she wants to be the emperor herself?

He Shuting covered her mouth in surprise and stopped shouting.

He Ran wants to be the emperor?

Empress?

There have been female emperors in history, but before she became an empress, she was first a queen and then a queen mother. She deposed her son's throne and proclaimed herself emperor.

That situation was different from He Ran's. He Ran wanted to be an emperor like Taizu and conquer the country with real swords and guns.

A woman who has such thoughts doesn’t know whether she is smart or stupid.

He Shuting couldn't understand why a woman wanted to be the emperor herself?

He Shuting could not understand He Ran's thoughts and actions, but from that day on, He Shuting became even more silent.

But He Shuqiao was just the opposite. He worked harder in martial arts, and even Master Cai couldn't help but pay more attention to him. He would occasionally cook meat dishes for him to replenish his health.

After Donggua heard about it, she would send fish, meat, and eggs to Master Cai every now and then. This was what Xiaoli had told her before she left. The boss had left some money for the siblings in case of emergencies.

Donggua didn't know what the relationship between the siblings and the headmaster was, and he didn't ask. He wouldn't ask if he shouldn't. Donggua still wanted to stay with the headmaster for a long time.

A few days later, Ran's army entered the territory of Yu. He Dali said with a smile: "Although the Huwei army has withdrawn, the remaining power is still there. We did not encounter a single refugee army along the way."

He Ran asked: "Have all the Huwei troops withdrawn?"

The last time she gave the black girl a gift, there was still a part of the Huwei army left in Yudi.
