Jinghong Tower

Chapter 404 Changes
The entire Qingfang Residence had been booked by He Shuting. Meng Cheng arrived as promised. As soon as he reached the door, two beautiful maids came to greet him: "Hello, Second General. The princess has been waiting for you for a long time."

Meng Cheng was overjoyed. Having a woman waiting for him was always a pleasant thing, not to mention that she was a beautiful woman of status.

From childhood to adulthood, the women around Meng Cheng were either gentle as water or as enchanting and charming as Xiao He. In short, in Meng Cheng's subconscious mind, women are meant to please men.

Of course, Princess Chang'an is also like this.

As for the legendary leader of the He family, He Ran, I'm sorry, she was too far away. By the time the news spread to Meng Cheng, He Ran had already become a nine-tailed demon fox.

According to legend, the Zhou Dynasty's fortunes had come to an end, which led to the emergence of the fake emperor Min Man.

When the Jade Emperor learned of this, he was furious and sent the nine-tailed fox to punish the fake emperor.

The nine-tailed fox transformed into a young girl, and she was He Ran.

This legend was widely circulated in many remote areas. Meng Cheng just laughed it off after hearing it, but from then on, whenever someone mentioned He Ran, Meng Cheng would think of the nine-tailed fox. This was the legend he gave to He Ran, and it was very consistent with his view of women.

At this time, Meng Chengxin walked into Qingfangju.

There were no other guests in Qingfangju, and it was quiet.

Meng Cheng frowned slightly. He didn't like this quiet feeling.

The feeling made him uneasy.

He looked back, but found that his guards had not followed him in.

"Everyone, come in!"

Meng Cheng yelled.

Several guards came in upon hearing the sound. Just outside the door, two maids handed them fragrant handkerchiefs to wipe their sweat, so they did not follow in.

Meng Cheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his guards.

He just said, what could go wrong in his own little piece of land?

Now this is his territory, and this Qingfangju is of course also his territory.

He had an army of 100,000. Ever since Wu Dongming's army was disintegrated and split, his army was the largest in the northwest.

At this moment, Meng Cheng had long forgotten that although these 100,000 soldiers were named Meng, they belonged to Meng Zhong. Although he took over the army, those generals did not obey him. They were only forced to listen to his orders because of his surname Meng.

A beautiful maid came over, her snow-white skin faintly visible through her light blue gauze dress.

Meng Cheng's eyes were fixed on the maid, like a snake seeing its prey, ready to spit out its sticky core and pounce on it at any time.

The maid smiled sweetly, stretched out her delicate hand, and gently hugged Meng Cheng's arm: "Second General, the princess is in the private room. I will accompany you in."

The fragrance of the girl was refreshing and Meng Cheng felt relaxed and happy. She was indeed the one to be a princess. Even the maidservants around her were so charming. Wu Ji was really lucky.

Meng Cheng laughed loudly, stretched out his stinky big mouth and kissed the maid on the face. The maid pretended to be angry and pinched him gently with her jade hands. Meng Cheng felt like being pricked by a needle, it didn't hurt, but his heart felt more itchy.

Walking up the stairs, he saw the private room in front of him, where the beautiful and dignified Princess Chang'an was waiting for him.

Meng Cheng said to the maid, "Little demon, don't be anxious. I will eat you after I have eaten your princess clean."

The maid's eyes were so charming that Meng Cheng's heart was intoxicated. The little beauty in front of him smiled so coquettishly that she even had calluses on her face. She was obviously just a beauty, but now she had turned into a pile.

Meng Cheng rubbed his eyes subconsciously, but the next moment, his body fell backwards. With a thud, Meng Cheng's huge body fell to the ground.

The guards who had just come in had already laid down before him.

The handkerchief that the beautiful maid handed to them to wipe their sweat contained a sleeping pill. It was the most difficult to resist the favor of a beauty, so they all fainted.

The door of the private room slowly opened, and He Jiang and He Shuting walked out. The maid in gauze stepped forward and said, "Princess, I have knocked Meng Cheng unconscious with a needle. It will take at least an hour for him to wake up."

She was the maid Wu Ji gave to He Shuting, and she escorted He Shuting all the way out of the palace.

"Hongxiu, you did a great job." He Shuting said.

Hongxiu stood with her hands hanging down. He Shuting took a step forward and kicked Meng Cheng with her toes, saying disdainfully, "What a fool! It's easy to kill him."

What she could do, Xiao He could certainly do too, but Xiao He did nothing.

He Shuting narrowed her eyes slightly. Before this, she thought Meng Cheng was a tough guy. In addition to these maids, she had also arranged more powerful tricks.

But what no one expected was that Meng Cheng was caught before he even entered the house, and lay on the ground like a dead dog.

So, why did Xiao He hesitate to take action, and why did she have to be provoked by her to ask her to take action in this way of cooperation?
Xiao He is not as simple as he looks!
"Kill him!" He Shuting squeezed out three words from between her teeth. This idiot actually dared to covet him. Damn it!
Without saying a word, Hongxiu untied the silk ribbon around her waist and strangled Meng Cheng to death.

The followers brought by Meng Cheng were also treated in the same way and all died.

He Shuting thought for a moment and said to He Jiang, "Father, please cut off Meng Cheng's head yourself."

He Jiang nodded, drew his sword and cut off Meng Cheng's head.

He Shuting said: "That's great, let's go."

They walked out of Qingfangju, and He Jiang was holding Meng Cheng's head in his hand. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes, which attracted attention. When they saw the head in He Jiang's hand, the people screamed in surprise. No one dared to approach them, and no one knew what had happened.

At this moment, a team came from afar. The leader was handsome. He Jiang recognized him at a glance. He was Fang Dalong, the most powerful general under Meng Zhong.

Next to Fang Dalong, there was a rouge horse, and the woman on the horse was none other than Xiao Heshi. He Jiang felt something was wrong, and when he was wondering, he heard Xiao Heshi cry out, "That's the Second General, they killed the Second General!"

Not only Xiao He, but everyone else also saw the head in He Jiang's hand. Who else could it be but Meng Cheng?
Fang Dalong's face changed drastically. He drew out his sword and shouted, "Come on, take them down!"

It all happened so fast that He Jiang hadn't recovered from the shock.

Xiao He is his cousin. She is a widow with no children. Who else can she rely on except her cousin?
But why did Xiao He have people arrest him? It was clearly she who asked He Shuting to kill Meng Cheng.

Betrayal from family members is often the most puzzling, so He Jiang, who is always shrewd and calculating, would be at a loss for a moment.

However, for He Shuting, she had already begun to suspect Xiao He. What Xiao He did at this moment was like the boot that finally fell, which finally put He Shuting's heart at ease.

That's it!

In addition to Meng Cheng, Xiao He also has a real lover, who is most likely the handsome general in front of her.

He Shuting smiled coldly: "Little He, General Fang, it was you two who injured Meng Zhong, right? And Master Meng's family, they didn't die at the hands of the bandits, they were killed by you. I was saying, which bandit outside the northwest would be so arrogant that he would even kill Master Meng? It turns out that you two are the adulterous couple!"

He Shuting said the last few words after she saw another group of soldiers coming towards them.

Among the group of soldiers, the two leaders were all wearing armor. Although she didn't know them, she could guess that they were generals in Meng's army.

Just now, she asked He Jiang to carry Meng Cheng's head out of Qingfangju in order to cause panic among the people. Someone would definitely go and report the news. This city is not big, but there are many troops stationed there. The dead person is Meng Cheng, which is a bolt from the blue for the 100,000 Meng troops.

Sure enough, as soon as the words "adulterer and adulteress" came out, everyone was stunned.

Little He was stunned for a moment, then she loudly retorted: "You are talking nonsense, it is obvious that you used your beauty to seduce the second general, and then you killed him, it is you, you are the murderer!"

He Shuting chuckled. She pointed at He Jiang and said, "Little He, look carefully before you speak. Wasn't it your cousin who killed Meng Cheng and cut off his head? The one who died was your brother-in-law, and the one who killed him was your brother. You brought your lover to arrest an outsider like me. This doesn't make sense, right?"

Not only Xiao He, but even He Jiang was surprised. He looked at He Shuting in a daze, not understanding why He Shuting would use his and Xiao He's brother and sister relationship to excuse herself at this time.

But He Jiang soon calmed down. He Shuting was his goddaughter. He could use He Shuting, not that bitch Xiao He!

Thinking of this, He Jiang immediately retorted, and said to Xiao He: "Sister, what are you talking about? Didn't you ask me to help you kill Meng Cheng? You said that Meng Cheng killed the family of Master Meng himself, and forced you to give yourself to him. You were powerless, so you had to ask me for help. You asked me to kill Meng Cheng and avenge Master Meng. Have you forgotten that I was the one who did it?"

The onlookers were in an uproar. Young Master Meng died in Zhangye, and Meng Cheng was still in the army at that time. Many people could testify for him. Besides, although Meng Cheng was tall and strong, he used all his strength on women. Even a fool would not believe that he killed Young Master Meng.

So, Xiao He cheated He Jiang!
Xiao He's face turned pale, and she looked at Fang Dalong for help: "I didn't, I didn't give myself to him, I really didn't."

Fang Dalong knew who Meng Cheng was. Meng Zhong became a cripple, and Meng Cheng often went in and out of the Meng Mansion. Fang Dalong privately asked Xiao He whether Meng Cheng had done anything to her.

Xiao He told Fang Dalong that although Meng Cheng coveted her, she had escaped from him every time, and there was nothing innocent between her and Meng Cheng.

But now He Jiang's words shattered all of Xiao He's lies.

Fang Dalong just felt that there were too many troubles on his head. One Meng Zhong was not enough, and now there was Meng Cheng. Meng Zhong was a famous general, but who was Meng Cheng? Without his surname, he was just a toad.

And little He had actually been slept with by this toad a long time ago!

Just an hour ago, he and this toad had slept with the same woman.

Fang Dalong suddenly felt that everyone was laughing at him!
He Shuting was not wrong in her guess. He was the one who caused Meng Zhong's injury and the death of Young Master Meng. Meng Zhong treated him like his own son or nephew, but so what? Meng Zhong had taken away his most beloved person.

That's right, he fell in love with Xiao He at first sight, but he already had a wife and children, so Xiao He could only be his concubine. He was immersed in regretting that they had never met and never married. But He Jiang acted as a matchmaker and betrothed Xiao He to Meng Zhong, who was over 50 years old, as his second wife.

Meng Zhong is old enough to be Xiao He's grandfather. Apart from being the legal wife, how could he be worthy of the stunningly beautiful Xiao He?

By chance, at the Meng Mansion, Xiao He met Fang Dalong who came to visit again. The two were speechless and tears flowed down their cheeks.

I don't know how, they ended up hugging each other while crying.
It was Fang Dalong's own decision to kill Young Master Meng because he was disrespectful to Xiao He and humiliated her in public.

Fang Dalong would not allow anyone to bully his woman, so as soon as Young Master Meng left, he pretended to be injured and needed to recuperate, but in fact he caught up with Young Master Meng and wiped out his entire family.

It was Xiao He who proposed to kill Meng Zhong, and Fang Dalong agreed. However, Meng Zhong was lucky, and although he was disabled, he did not die.

Xiao He thought that it was not a bad thing that Meng Zhong was not dead, because this would ensure that the generals in the army would have no ulterior motives. Fang Dalong did not understand this, but he did not object when Xiao He asked him not to kill Meng Zhong again.

Later, Meng Cheng took control of the military power, and Fang Dalong wanted to kill Meng Cheng, but they knew very well that if they killed Meng Cheng, the 100,000-strong army would not obey their orders.

Just then, He Jiang and He Shuting arrived, and they came towards the 100,000-strong army.

So what happened today happened. Xiao He and Fang Dalong used He Shuting to kill Meng Cheng, and they reaped the benefits. If everything goes well, they can also take this opportunity to gain control of the 100,000-strong army.

Because just this morning, He Shuting and He Jiang had just walked out of the Meng Mansion, and little He asked Meng Zhong to act out a scene of entrusting her son to the care of her parents before her death.

She asked Meng Zhong, who could no longer speak, to grab Fang Dalong's hand in front of his two old subordinates, and Xiao He also held out the seal of command at this time.

Meng Cheng searched the entire Meng Mansion for this commander's seal but couldn't find it, but he didn't know that it had been secretly hidden by Xiao He a long time ago.

In other words, just before confronting He Shuting and He Jiang, Fang Dalong had already become the new commander of the 100,000 Meng troops!

The shame and anger on Fang Dalong's face did not escape He Shuting's eyes. She took advantage of the victory and said loudly: "I am the Princess of Chang'an. Today, I came to Longxi with my father on the order of the King of Chang'an to investigate the injury of General Meng. After our investigation, General Meng and Mr. Meng were both killed by this adulterous couple. Little He also took advantage of my father's pity for her and tricked my father into killing General Meng Er. However, General Meng Er had an affair with his eldest sister-in-law and was wrong to bully his brother. My father misunderstood and believed it, so he should be punished."

Before he finished speaking, He Jiang lifted his robe and knelt down: "He Jiang is wrong, please punish me, Princess."

He Shuting looked at the soldiers brought by He Jiang and said, "Kidnap him!"

Someone came over and took Meng Cheng's head from He Jiang. Just when he was wondering what to do with it, an old veteran walked out from the crowd and said, "Leave it to me!"
