Chapter 1745 1421. Goodbye Sikong
Zhu Kangcheng came uninvited.
When I arrived outside the mansion where Sikong Heng lived, I was blocked outside by the guards at the door.
Zhu Kangcheng waved his hand to the back.
Several servants placed the carried wooden box on the ground. Because the wooden box was heavy, it made a muffled sound.
Zhu Kangcheng bowed to the guards with a humble and pleasing look and said, "The villain came here to see General Sikong, and asked a few little brothers to pass on their behalf."
After saying that, a few ingots of white and silver were handed out naturally, "I invite these little brothers to drink."
The servants behind him also opened the wooden box with great eyesight.
In an instant, the light of the torch and the lantern at the door seemed much dim. The eyes of several guards were flashing by the gold, silver and jewelry.
After a moment of silence, the guard in charge took over the silver from Zhu Kangcheng's hand, looked at the boxes with some covetousness, and nodded to the brothers beside him.
The guard knew it and walked into the mansion.
As the saying goes, if you don’t hit a smiley person, then such a tactful smiley person should naturally not be beaten.
These guards did not dare to make decisions for Sikong Heng and sent Zhu Kangcheng away. After all, these gold, silver and jewelry were not a small amount for General Sikong.
It is true that the Sikong family has a great business, but General Sikong is not the head of the Sikong family after all. Moreover, the Sikong family also spends a lot of money.
So much silver and jewelry can definitely make General Sikong much more affordable.
But a while later, a man who looked like a housekeeper came out with the guard who went in to report.
This housekeeper followed Sikong Heng from the Xiping Military Office, and was actually a staff member of Sikong Heng. Everyone knows this.
Zhu Kangcheng didn't know what to call him. Seeing this man walk out of the mansion, he just bowed and smiled and said, "The villain Zhu Kangcheng, ask to see General Sikong."
The staff looked at the boxes behind Zhu Kangcheng with no trace of their eyes, and his expression was quite indifferent. He waved his hand and said, "Come in with me!"
"Okay! Thank you sir!"
Zhu Kangcheng smiled with a shameless face, waved his hand to the servants behind him, and quickly followed the staff into the mansion.
This mansion looks a bit similar to that of She Tuohu, and it should be derived from the old ministers of Xixia in the city.
"Wish the boss."
After entering the mansion, the staff member directly mentioned Zhu Kangcheng's name.
Zhu Kangcheng showed a look of surprise on his face and smiled apologized: "Sir, know the villain?"
The staff member said contemptuously: "You have just come out of General She Tuo's mansion and come to find my general again. You are so rich and powerful..."
Zhu Kangcheng's eyes flashed deep, and there was still a smile on his face, saying, "I'm rude, I'm rude, please give me a few words when the general has no money. When the villain entered General She Tuo's mansion, he did not think much. Logically, he should have come to General Sikong first to visit him."
As he said this, he hurriedly said, "I'll invite you to have a banquet in the mansion another day, and ask you to fulfill your wish."
"hehe."
The staff member chuckled softly, "You can say this but you can take my general to heart."
Then he stopped talking and walked quickly towards the front.
Zhu Kangcheng looked at his back deeply and then quickly followed.
He was still quite happy.
Sikong Heng actually put a spy in She Tuo's mansion, which only shows that the four major military commanders were also intrigue. This is of course a good thing for the Song Dynasty.
Go deep in the mansion.
Zhu Kangcheng was able to meet Sikong Heng.
Sikong Heng is young and handsome, with extraordinary appearance. He looks like a dragon and a phoenix among men.
People like him who were born in a famous family and outstanding since childhood often have temperaments that ordinary people do not possess.
Zhu Kangcheng quickly stepped forward and bowed to Sikong Heng and said, "The villain Zhu Kangcheng pays homage to the general."
Sikong Heng glanced at him with a squint eyes and waved his hand gently, "Boss, right? I've recorded it."
After saying that, he looked at the aide and said, "Go on, don't wish the boss a food delivery."
The staff member nodded quickly and agreed, and said to Zhu Kangcheng: "Boss Zhu, please!"
Zhu Kangcheng couldn't help but be stunned.
He came here with so many gifts, but Sikong Heng didn't even give him a cup of tea?
It seems that Sikong is ruthless and arrogant.
Of course he would not leave just now. Suddenly he stood up and looked directly at Sikong Heng and said, "I still have something to discuss with General Sikong."
Seeing Zhu Kangcheng suddenly emerged with such confidence, Sikong Heng was stunned and frowned.
Zhu Kangcheng looked at the staff member.
Sikong Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It's okay to just say something."
Zhu Kangcheng did not force it and said, "General Sikong knew that Zixia was the boss of the grain store, but I don't know if General Sikong knew another identity of Zixia?"
Sikong Heng's expression was no longer so careless, and he said, "You are..."
Zhu Kangchengdao: "I am a native of the Song Dynasty."
When Sikong Heng heard this, he suddenly became silent.
After about ten seconds, I suddenly slapped the table, "Then you dare to come to see me?"
He said that he wanted to call the guards outside the door in.
Zhu Kangcheng just chuckled, "General Sikong, don't scare him. It doesn't matter if he dies. I just don't know if General Sikong can withstand the anger of the emperor?"
Sikong Heng narrowed his eyes when he heard this, "What do you mean?"
He did not think that Zhu Kangcheng would be the representative of the State of Song.
The staff member also showed great surprise next to him.
Zhu Kangcheng said: "I am here at the emperor's order and want General Sikong to work with us to save the empress. After the matter is completed, our emperor can ensure that the Sikong family will flourish for a hundred years."
Sikong Heng [Youyou Reading www.uutxt.xyz]'s eyes changed.
Suddenly, he stood up and sneered: "Our Sikong family is now extremely prosperous, why do you need the Emperor of Song to protect it?"
Zhu Kangcheng was not moved, but said again: "The Sikong family is indeed strong in the Xiping Military Office, but I don't know what will happen when our Song Dynasty imperial guards attack the Xiping Military Office?"
"The empress is in our hands. Do you have the courage?" Sikong Heng asked back.
Zhu Kangcheng said: "The emperor of our dynasty really attaches importance to the empress. But General Sikong would not think that holding the empress in hand can ensure peace forever in Xi, right? Moreover, there is only one empress."
Sikong Heng said: "Why should I rely on the empress forever? Just wait for the Yuan army to arrive? How can you Song army be able to do this Zhongxing Mansion?"
Zhu Kangcheng chuckled, "The Yuan army is high and the road is long. Even if we come, can we protect Zhongxing Prefecture for a while and Zhongxing Prefecture for a lifetime? Besides, is the Yuan army an opponent of our Song army?"
Sikong Heng was silent again when he heard this, and then said quietly: "Then what you mean, will you have to agree?"
"No, no, no."
Zhu Kangcheng shook his head and said, "Of course the decision is in your hands. But... I feel like I heard that the general's second brother Sikong Hu is also a man of a grand journey like the general. Moreover, because of his mother, is it quite popular with your father?"
"snort!"
Sikong Heng couldn't help but snorted softly when he heard this, "But my father still handed over the military power to me!"
It is not necessarily a good thing for many heroes among the children of a large family. Just like She Tuoba and She Tuoli brothers, one snake and one python, the final outcome is not good.
Sikong Heng is a rare talent and the eldest son of Sikong Lie. It is natural for him to take over the Sikong family. Unfortunately, his younger brother Sikong Hu is also outstanding. More importantly, Sikong Hu's mother is the first wife of Sikong Society, and her mother's family is also very strong. Sikong Heng's mother has passed away, so it is difficult to compete with Sikong Hu.
Now in the Xiping Army Office, he and Sikong Hu are fighting openly and secretly. Although Sikong Society sent him to lead his army to Zhongxing Mansion, his intention was not to be instructed to send him away.
Sikong Heng knew this very well.
No matter whether he wins or loses in this battle, he will probably find it difficult to save the overall situation when he returns to the Xiping Army.
Since Zhu Kangcheng said this, he obviously had a detailed investigation.
Seeing that Sikong Heng was still pretending to be imposing, he couldn't help but chuckled again and said, "Although the military power is in the hands of the general, it is only temporary, right?"
Then, without giving Sikong Heng a chance to argue again, he said directly: "The emperor of our dynasty promises the general, so that the general needs to rescue the empress. In the future, when the overall situation in Xixia is pacified, our dynasty will protect you as the supervisor of the Xiping Military Department. The entire Xiping Military Department, even your father, must be your leader, how about you?"
