After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

"The host is worried that the lieutenant will anger Yushitai?" Pei Jiaoran asked with concern.

Hearing this, Master Cui took a sip of water and said slowly: "Pei Shiyu, it is not a trivial matter to interrogate Cao Shenjun, the divine strategist. I will discuss it with the two Zhongcheng and Wei Taiduan before making a decision. You are responsible for this. It’s worth a night, so go back and rest first.”

With a smile, Pei Jiaoran calmly accepted the order and left.

As soon as she stepped down the stone steps, a group of officials from the Yushitai also came out. Seeing her standing at the foot of the steps, Yuan Yan rushed over and dragged her to a secluded place in Taichung.

Glancing at the hand that fell on his wrist, Pei Jiaoran gently pulled it out with force and said in an indifferent tone, "What does Yuan Sanduan mean?"

"You don't want your life? You dare to touch the people of Shence. Don't you know they have special privileges?" Looking at Pei Jiaoran, Yuan Yanchong frowned, "No one in Yushitai has ever dared to enter Shence's guard. Man. You are clearly jumping into a pit of fire. If you listened to me and went to the political hall to admit your mistake, it would not be like this."

"So, wouldn't it be good for me to be the first person? Yuan Yan is facing you and me, each going one way. If you block my way again, Pei will not be so polite anymore." Pei Jiaoran glanced at Yuan Yan with a half-smile. Rushing, a sharp and sarcastic light passed through his eyes.

The voice, which was already covered by winter frost, became even more chilly in the last few words. It seemed like billowing black clouds were coming over the city, and the wind filled the tall buildings, making people feel breathless.

Under Pei Jiaoran's gaze, Yuan Yanchong's eyes narrowed. Thinking of the calm but frightening demeanor he saw from Pei Jiaoran when he was in Guazhou. He was not stupid, and in an instant he understood the murderous intention hidden in the seemingly gentle voice of the person in front of him.

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Yanchong rolled his sleeves and left.

Watching the dark green go away, Pei Jiaoran shook his head and sighed softly.

In fact, Yuan Yanchong is not a bad person, but sometimes he acts too recklessly. There is no harm in being acquainted with this person, but a deeper friendship will do more harm than good. Those people who were willing to promote him to official positions were not only talented and learned, but also very obedient.

In his previous life, Yuan Yanchong married the fourth daughter of the Wang family in Taiyuan under the arrangement of his lord. The couple treated each other with respect, and she was lucky enough to meet the Queen once. She was a very qualified eunuch wife, who helped Yuan Yanchong handle the social affairs in the back house, so that he could help them fight against Jia Gonglu, and then he rose to prominence.

This kind of thing is common in the court, but it may not be a blessing for the two of them.

With his thoughts at this point, Pei Jiaoran moved away.

He rode out of Hanguang Gate. While it was still early, Pei Jiaoran rode to the West Market. Although she probably eats in the public kitchen most of the time, during the holidays, she can only fill her stomach at the food stalls.

After thinking about it, she decided to buy cooking utensils and food, and then go to the incense shop to buy spices and Fang Zhongwen's ornaments. The West Market has always been very lively, and there are many Hu merchants coming and going.

Hu Ji, who was standing at the door of the restaurant in a gorgeous dress, waved to her when she saw Pei Jiaoran. What's more, he came over directly and held her arm, with a smile in his eyes.

"What a beautiful girl, come to our store to eat mutton." Hu Ji, who was wearing a tulip skirt, said with a smile, "I'll treat you to the most fragrant wine in Chang'an City!"

"Thank you. I have something else to do." After saying that, Pei Jiaoran pushed Hu Ji away and ran forward.

Pei Jiaoran spent two hours shopping in the West Market and had to hire two strongmen to take her things back to her house in Chongyifang. After paying the wages to the two powerful men, he started to decorate the house himself.

Fortunately, the house is not big and can be decorated quickly. All the curtains were changed to aqua blue, the curtains were changed to moon white, and a pot of golden calamus was placed in front of the desk by the window. It added a bit of life to this deserted house.

The spring breeze quietly entered the room and blew the various toothpicks hanging from the books on the shelf. Neighbors bump into each other and make a pleasant sound.

Pei Jiaoran had just picked up a copy of "Juyan Han Bamboo Slips" and flipped through it when a knock on the door interrupted Pei Jiaoran's movements. She put down her book and opened the door.

"Pei Fuduan, I finally found you." The visitor bowed his hand to her and saluted, "This official is the Chief of the Yushitai. On the order of the master of the stage, please come to the stage immediately."

After tidying up a little and changing into his official uniform, Pei Jiaoran followed Ling Shi to the Yushitai. After getting permission to enter, Pei Jiaoran looked around.

At this time, only Master Cui and Wei Duangong were left in the main hall of Yushitai.

Wei Duangong seemed to be concentrating with his eyes closed, motionless. Master Cui stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "Pei Shiyu."

"The subordinate is here."

"Just now, I have discussed with the two Zhongcheng and Wei Duangong. Since there is a problem with the write-off of Shence's accounts, if Bibu finds us, we still have to ask about the situation." Master Cui looked at her seriously, "But there is one thing. , you should not act rashly, but plan it slowly. If you anger Lieutenant Tian, ​​no one can protect you."

Pei Jiaoran bowed deeply after hearing the words of Master Cui that seemed to be threatening and concerned about his subordinates.

"There is no need to accompany Zhi tonight. We will wait until the matter is investigated." Seeing Pei Jiaoran still standing where he was, Master Cui said warmly.

"Thank you very much, Master. I will resign."

The door creaked open and light leaked in. As the door closed, it was gone again.

"I thought she was not capable of Zhixitui's affairs, but I didn't expect her to handle affairs in an orderly manner." Master Cui took a sip of tea and said, "Gong Changli taught her so well. I really don't know why she would seek refuge with Gong Jia." Sis."

Mentioning Jia Gonglu, Master Cui's eyes showed disdain.

Wei Duangong raised his eyes and muttered: "This is called knowing people but not knowing their hearts. What else can we do if we enter this power field but live in harmony with the light? Since several ministers have instructed us to treat her this way, we can just act according to the order. If she It would also be nice if you have the ability to help us increase our prestige in the Shence Army."

"Do you think she can't see that this is a trap?" Master Cui turned his head and looked at Wei Duangong, "Jiulang, do you think she took this job on purpose?"

"I asked, Seventeenth Lang, why did you suddenly shrink back? No matter what, it was she who took the initiative to speak. Yuan Yanchong had already reminded her, but she just didn't look back. What can you do?" Wei Duangong shook his head as if he was remembering something. "Yuan Yanchong should be obedient. This Pei Jiaoran is too rebellious and can easily hurt his hands."

"One is Jiao Zhu Gu Se, who entered the official position in Menyin, and the other is Dounan, who became a Jinshi. There is no comparison. However, Xiao Yuan's temperament still needs to be tempered, and the censor cannot be too rigid." Cui Taizhu Smile.

Looking sideways at Master Cui, Wei Taiduan closed his eyes.

It's really a good idea to put these two young people who were once on the same side together. Maybe this can inspire Yuan Yanchong to learn more from Pei Jiaoran, which may have miraculous effects.

Pei Jiaoran, who had just stepped out of Hanguang Gate, couldn't help but sneeze.

Sure enough, Chang'an City is always cold and steep in spring.

As Pei Jiaoran left, she thought that she had caught a wind while on duty last night, and she had to go back to make a bowl of ginger water. It would be troublesome if you got sick.
