Jinghong Tower

Chapter 312: The eldest brother becomes a father (two chapters in one)

He Shuming played into his heart, and he was worried that He Shuting would not go out with him.

"Wait a minute, I'll get the needle and thread in."

He Shuting moved very quickly. She put the unfinished sewing basket into the room and hurried out.

He Shuming did not see that He Shuting quietly hid the scissors in her arms when she put the sewing basket back.

The brother and sister walked out of the charity hall one after another. Worried that He Shuming would say He Ran's name in public again, He Shuting pointed to a small tea stall not far away.

"Let's sit there."

The vendor who set up the stall was a deaf-mute old man. A large bowl of herbal tea cost a penny a bowl. The sign clearly stated that he paid for the tea, and there was no communication throughout the process.

There was no one else in the stall at the moment, so it was a good place to talk.

He Shuming had a look of disgust on his face: "This place looks dirty. Although we are in dire straits now, we cannot lose our dignity."

Before He Shuming could finish speaking, He Shuting ran away.

At this point, He Shuming no longer felt any guilt.

The place where He Shuming took He Shuting was Matchmaker Wang's home. Matchmaker Wang was already ready. As long as he brought He Shuting there, Gou Dahu would come to inspect the goods in person.

Besides, he had already made an agreement with Matchmaker Wang, and he couldn't break his promise.

His mother smashed everything in Matchmaker Wang's house.

Veins appeared on He Shuming's forehead. The environment can change people so much. Now He Shuting has the common customs of the common people in her bones, so she can only be worthy of being a sick child of a wealthy family.

He Shuting: "How about we go to Jinfengxuan? I heard that the literati in Jinyang like to go there. I have long wanted to see it. Brother, please invite me."

He doesn't recognize his family, disrespects his elder brother, is rebellious and extremely audacious!

She is not worthy of being a scholar.

There was a big tree at the entrance of the alley, and several children were playing in the shade. When they saw a man and a woman entering the alley, one of the older children cast his eyes on He Shuting's face. Oh, this sister is so beautiful.

He Shuming was furious!
He Shuqiao escaped from him like this last time. He was treating him like a monkey.

He Shuting turned and glared at He Shuming: "You want to take me to meet the matchmaker?"

He Shuting trembled and looked at He Shuming with eyes that seemed to be quenched with poison.

He pretended to be angry: "Why, you don't listen to what I, the elder brother, say, you only recognize him?"

After all, in Jinyang City, even a three-year-old child knows who He Ran is.

He Shuming shouted at the child: "Ignorant child, don't talk nonsense!"

Now it's He Shuting again.

Before He Shuming could finish his words, He Shuting said quickly: "Okay, I'll go with you."

He Shuming sneered in his heart. He had already noticed that He Shuting was afraid that he would say He Ran's name in public.

He turned around and said to He Shuting: "Are you brainless? I am your biological brother, how could I do this?"

"The world is tough, so don't waste money. I'm temporarily staying at a friend's house. Although his house is in a city, the yard is elegantly decorated. It's not far from here. Let's sit there. I also want to know what you are doing. Two years of experience.”

Unfortunately, it's useless.

It was okay for He Shuqiao to have martial arts, but he would never let He Shuting escape in front of him.

"He Shuting, do you not care about even half of the family ties? I think you have learned bad things from He Ran, you..."

He Shuting begged softly: "Brother, it's not okay for me to go with you. Please, stop talking."

His eyes rolled around, remembering what his mother said when she and Matchmaker Wang were arguing.

No, he is the nemesis of Matchmaker Wang!
The child asked loudly: "You are here to see Matchmaker Wang, right? Hey, brother, you also asked Matchmaker Wang to sell this sister at a good price, right?"

Both He Shuqiao and He Shuting learned bad things from He Ran.

She wants to go back to the shantang. He Ran opened the shantang. As long as she returns to the shantang, she will be safe.

"I'm still not going. I still haven't finished my sewing, so I'm rushing to work in the embroidery workshop."

His mother said that Matchmaker Wang doesn't do good things.

The scissors hidden in her arms were so heavy that she couldn't breathe.

He Shuting's heart sank.

His mother and Matchmaker Wang are mortal enemies!
His grandma was deceived by Matchmaker Wang into marrying her pretty aunt to a gambler. The aunt's little cousin was sold to the gambler before she was even a month old.

He said that on purpose, and it worked.

If it were true, even if they had the courage, they wouldn't dare.

He Shuting's face changed drastically: "What kind of matchmaker is this?"

Do you really think he was just playing at the entrance of the alley?

She will never forget that when she was fourteen, Uncle Yan and Aunt Yan asked her to stay at home for a few more days, but they brought two women, one of whom was a matchmaker, and they looked her up and down. It looks like looking at a piece of goods.

He Shuming was so proud that he was a damn girl, dumber than a pig. Such a fool was actually his twin. It seemed that all the good luck of this fool's life was spent on reincarnation.

Child: "Matchmaker Wang who sells her beautiful sister, no one in Jinyang city knows that she has been in jail."

He Shuming didn't stop and gave chase.

He Shuting is no longer the second young lady of the He family. She took her young brother and walked all the way from Zhending to Jinyang on two legs. She ran away when she met refugees and ran away when she saw bandits, no matter how fast she ran. Unhappy, this endurance alone is not comparable to that of the frail He Shuming.

He Shuting ran far away, and when she looked back, He Shuming was still chasing after her.

Seeing her turn around, He Shuming yelled: "Bitch, do you think you can escape from my grasp? My eldest brother is my father. As long as you are not married, you will be at my mercy!"

He Shuming stopped and gasped: "Run, you run, I told the people in the charity hall that I am your elder brother, see if they will protect you!"

Yes, He Shuting and He Shuqiao both lived in the Shantang, and he was their elder brother.

With this identity, he can take them away from the charity hall in a fair and just manner.

He Shuming suddenly didn't want to chase anymore. Of course, he couldn't run anymore.

He Shuting's heart clicked, yes, He Shuming was right, not only could he take her away from the charity hall, but he could also marry her to a stupid, lame old man!
The scissors hidden in her arms became heavier and heavier, and so did He Shuting's heart.

He Shuming must die, otherwise she will die.

She's still young and she doesn't want to die.

He Shuting walked towards He Shuming step by step, the determination in her eyes disintegrating inch by inch, and was eventually replaced by cowardice.

Looking at He Shuting walking towards him, He Shuming raised the corner of his mouth with a proud smile.

Are you afraid?
Don't you want to run?

Where can you run?

No matter how you run, you are still the daughter of the He family, and I am your eldest brother!
"Brother, please, please don't sell me, okay?" The girl's voice was gentle and plaintive, like the floating catkins, one breath could break her into pieces.

It had been a long time since He Shuming had experienced the feeling of being belittled and begged for. This feeling was so good that it brought him back to those good times.

At that time, he was the eldest young master of the He family, the pride of his father, and the hope of the whole family.

As long as he sells He Shuting, he can use the money to pave the way for himself. He will definitely be appreciated and he will definitely have a bright future for himself.

But the next moment, he felt something piercing his chest. He subconsciously looked down and saw a pair of scissors, and the scissors were held in He Shuting's hand!

"you"

He Shuting didn't give him a chance to speak. She pulled out the scissors and stabbed him again! Pull it out again and stab it down again!

Not just the chest, but also the neck, arms, shoulders, disorganized, random and angry!
He Shuming raised his hand to stop it, but it was in vain. When He Shuting pulled out the scissors again, He Shuming fell to the ground.

He Shuting took a few steps back, dropped the scissors, and ran in the other direction.

Although this place is not a busy city, it is not a wilderness either. The moment He Shuting decided to kill He Shuming, she had already noticed the movement around her.

There are people, but they are far away, but they will be discovered soon.

Before she could run far, there was a scream behind her. He Shuting did not stop, she ducked into an alley. She had been here before, and after passing through here, it was the back alley of the embroidery workshop.

Some of the embroidery work she usually does is from Pingyang Jinghong Building, and some is from this embroidery workshop.

The weather was hot and there was no one in the alley. He Shuting quickly ran into the back alley of Xiufang, where a large carriage was parked.

The two servants were talking and laughing in low voices with their backs to the entrance of the alley. He Shuting lowered her waist and hid in the gap between the carriage and the wall.

At this time, someone came out of the back door of the embroidery workshop and said to the two servants: "You two, it's hot. Come in and have a bowl of mung bean soup. After two hours of drinking water from the well, your heart feels cool."

The two servants thanked him with a smile, turned to the handlebar and said, "Brother, just wait, we will bring you a bowl."

Carriage and Horse Style: "Okay, you go quickly and remember to bring me a bowl."

He Shuting's heart moved. These people did not have Jin accents.

The two servants entered the embroidery workshop. They couldn't sit still anymore. They walked to the back door, craned their necks to look inside, and said to themselves: "These two guys are moving too slowly. When will they come to me?" Send out the mung bean soup.”

At this time, he heard movement behind him and looked back, only to see the horse pulling the cart tapping its hooves irritably.

The handlebar scolded: "Okay, be honest!"

Ma: Someone is getting on the bus, you idiot!
After the two servants and the driver had finished drinking the mung bean soup, another person came out and asked them to drive the carriage to the main entrance.

The carriage moved forward slowly and finally stopped at the main entrance of the embroidery workshop.

Wu Ji walked out of the embroidery workshop. The clerk from the embroidery workshop followed behind him carrying two large bags. The servants saw them and quickly took them over. Wu Ji said: "Put these on the car, let's go out of the city first."

The servant asked: "Shall we leave today?"

Wu Ji nodded: "I'll leave today."

On the order of his father, he went to the capital to give gifts to King Zhao and He Ran. There was no name for it, it was just a courtesy, letting the world know that the two families were allies and had a good relationship.

When passing by Jinyang, Wu Ji remembered the embroidery he brought back from Jinyang last time. His mother liked it very much.

He still remembered the address of the embroidery shop, so he went to the city to choose a gift for his mother.

Jinyang is not a small place, and he did not report to He Ran in advance when he came to Jinyang. He could not stay here for a long time, otherwise he would be blamed.

Wu Ji got on the carriage first, and was about to ask the servant to hand over the things when he felt someone in the carriage.

He is a martial arts practitioner and has sensitive hearing. He heard the breathing of another person.

It was faint, but he heard it.

And, at the same time, he smelled blood.

He calmly took the things delivered by the servant and put them aside.

The reason why he entered the city in a carriage was because he didn't want to be recognized by the soldiers patrolling the city. The same was true now. He didn't want to make any noise in the city. When he turned around, he already had a short knife in his hand.

Soon enough, he grabbed the person hidden in several piles of baggage.

Those bundles were the luggage of him and his entourage. They came on horseback, and the carriage was used to store gifts and luggage.

The gifts have been given to King Zhao and He Ran. Now the carriage is piled with luggage and the return gifts from He Ran. Wu Ji can only sit squeezed among these things, and the same is true for He Shuting.

But Wu Ji never expected that the person he pulled out from the pile of baggage would be a young girl.

The next moment, he saw blood on the girl's front.

Lots of blood!

He Shuting was frightened out of her mind, but she recognized Wu Ji.

This person had been to Shantang before, and he was accompanied by Xiaoli. At first glance, he looked like a respectable person.

Later, He Shuqiao heard the news from somewhere that Master Wu Ji had come to Shantang.

At that time, she didn't know who Wu Ji was, or He Shuqiao told her that Wu Ji was Wu Dongming's son, who once fought alongside the great master, and was a great man.

He Shuqiao knew many generals and even who conquered which territory. This was what he talked about with his friends every day.

He Shuting took a deep breath and bit her lips to make her lips turn a little red, but she still lowered her head. What Wu Ji saw was the girl's black hair and white ears.

Wu Ji suddenly felt a familiar feeling. Had he seen the girl in front of him before?

The girl's voice was plaintive: "Master Wu, please, don't hand me over, I'm afraid."

Wu Ji's big iron-like hands pressed on the girl's thin shoulders, as if he could crush her in the next moment.

"Who are you, and what are your intentions here?" Wu Ji said in a deep voice.

The attendant outside heard the commotion and asked, "Master, is something okay?"

Wu Ji glanced at the girl who was restrained by him and said calmly: "It's okay."

He Shuting was overjoyed, and hope ignited in her heart.

"Master Wu, I saw you in the Shantang. I know you are a good person and a great hero. Please, don't let me go out. Someone has caught me and wants to sell me."

Speaking of the latter part, He Shuting was already crying.

Wu Ji let go of her and took his hand back.

There was no restraint on her shoulders, and He Shuting's tense spirit relaxed.

Wu Ji took pity on her.

"Who wants to arrest you? By the way, you said you saw me in the charity hall?"

"It's my eldest brother. He deceived me from the charity house and wanted to sell me to an old man as a concubine. I...I ran away."

The carriage was filled with the smell of blood, and Wu Ji asked, "Then what's going on with the blood on your body?"

He came out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood. He was sure that the girl in front of him was not injured. The blood on her body belonged to someone else.
