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

Walking through thick dark clouds and humid atmosphere, we walked towards our residence in Chongyifang.

The sound of reading in the Imperial Academy reached my ears through the red walls and blue tiles. Pei Jiaoran loosened the reins and let the horse go on its own. I can't help but feel emotional

meaning. It's better for this group of students, who don't know about the disputes in the court, but still have a sincere heart.

Horse hooves march towards Chongyifang. Pei Jiaoran was riding on his horse and saw a postman standing in front of the house in the distance. After thinking for a while, she rode over.

"What's the matter, Your Excellency?" Pei Jiaoran dismounted and called.

The man turned around and bowed, "Pei Shiyu, I'm here to deliver a letter to you." As he said that, he took the letter from his sleeve, held it in both hands and handed it over.

Pei Jiaoran took the letter but did not open it. Instead, he looked puzzled and said, "Have you been waiting here for me?"

"The sender promised that this letter must be delivered to you in person. However, the letter did not mention your address. It took me a long time to find it."

"Thank you."

After thanking the postman, Pei Jiaoran went straight back to his residence. Put the letter aside and go to the kitchen to boil water and prepare for a good bath. Then I made a simple meal.

This letter lay quietly on the desk until the moon was high in the sky. The soft moonlight pours on it, adding a bit of splendor.

Pei Jiaoran, who was wiping his wet hair, suddenly remembered that he still had a letter that he had not read. He took the letter, sat under the lamp, and opened it.

While wiping my hair, I read the letter. As soon as she opened the letter she recognized whose handwriting it was.

Show neat and careful, vigorous and powerful. It's Li Xiujing's calligraphy.

He wrote in the letter, "Qing Jia Huijian, thank you for your enlightenment. I have worked with Qing Guazhou, and have always been in love with each other. The stars have moved frequently, and I have never met. Because I miss you very much, and I have been troubled by trivial matters recently. , I often write a letter with you to comfort my separation. Unfortunately, everything is so overwhelming that it is difficult to put it all together. Fortunately, I have a moment of leisure, so I write about my worries. Unexpectedly, I feel even more timid when I write, and I can only say a few words awkwardly. But I would like to share my sorrow with you and explain what is in my heart. I am afraid that the words in the letter do not answer the meaning. If there is any abruptness, I hope you will understand it."

Li Xiujing said in the letter that the Guazhou Water Canal has been successfully opened. He personally checked many times and found no problems. She can rest assured and don't have to worry about it.

When he read "The sea and the sky are in sight, it will never be too late. I hope you will take good care of yourself and pray for what you have hoped for. I wish you all the best for your victory." Pei Jiaoran curled his lips, "What a sour letter."

There is an alteration at the end of the letter. It seems that the expectation of immediate recovery has been changed to the expression of sincere gratitude and hope for recovery without any effort.

After reading the letter, Pei Jiaoran's hair was almost wiped. Touching the letter, a neatly folded letter fell out.

"Why does Li Xiujing write so many letters?" Pei Jiaoran cursed, but also opened the letter.

Only then did she realize that the letter was not written by Li Xiujing, but by Bi Fei. She taught Bi Fei how to calligraphy, but Bi Fei didn't recognize many words, and most of the word books he read on weekdays were pictures. Therefore, many parts of this letter are blank or represented by paintings.

But the general meaning can still be understood. Bi Fei asked her how she was doing. Have you taken good care of yourself? Scroll back and read the words Li Xiujing again.

However, in Bi Fei's letter, Li Xiujing was not so formal. She only said that Bi Fei had been pestering He Liang to teach her how to read recently, and she wanted to write her a letter. Bi Fei was fine now, so she didn't have to worry.

Put the letter into the wooden box next to you. Pei Jiaoran wrote a reply to Bi Fei, put down the pen and put a box of rouge in.

Turn off the lights and sleep. Wait for daybreak and then deliver the letter to the post to be sent to Guazhou.

Pei Jiaoran stood up quickly when he heard the sound of drums. After eating the morning meal in the square, we rode to Hanguangmen on horseback accompanied by the spring rain. Passing by Zhuque Gate, she pursed her lips when she saw Wu Yangyang officials waiting to open the door.

Today is Changshen Day. Officials above the fifth rank in Beijing had to go to the Taiji Hall to discuss politics, but she was not included in this category.

I sat in Zhisitui's public room for a while. The Ministry of Revenue sent an order to submit an estimated account of the stolen money to the Yushitai, in order to convict Sun Dun.

The stolen money calculated by the Account Department is almost the same as the stolen money calculated by Pei Jiaoran before. The crime Sun Dun committed was that he had violated the rules of paying official property, and he was considered to have stolen stolen goods. According to the law, he should be flogged forty times. But he also committed the crime of using money to seek compensation for something, and according to the law, he can also be found guilty of stealing stolen goods. The crime of taking stolen goods will be increased to the second level, and the crime will travel two thousand miles.

As for the Bi tribe leader Sun Dun mentioned in his confession, after getting permission from Wei Duangong. Pei Jiaoran immediately sent Lingshi to inform the Jinwu Guards, and went to Bibu to take his master's book to the Yushitai for questioning. Later, several other chief officials of Bibu were taken to Taiwan prison.

While the Bibu people were panicking, Pei Jiaoran took advantage of his free time and quietly left the Yushitai and went to the Hongwen Hall.

Her old friend Wu Lingjia is still here.

There are no students in Hongwen Hall today. Pei Jiaoran handed over the fish talisman and entered the Hongwen Pavilion easily. Under the guidance of the chamberlain, Wu Lingjia was successfully found.

Wu Lingjia was leaning against the window reading a book, and was quite surprised to hear her voice, "Qingjia? Why is it you?"

"It's me." Pei Jiaoran entered with a smile. Looking at Wu Lingjia, who was much thinner than in her memory, she frowned slightly and said, "I'm sorry about Mr. Changli."

"It's okay. Aye told me before he left that you have your own way to go. He is very satisfied with you now." Wu Lingjia held her hand and comforted her.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran changed the topic and started chatting with Wu Lingjia. As the two chatted, the topic turned to what she was doing in the Shence Army.

"You really have become the number one person in the Yushitai." Wu Lingjia looked condescending and nodded her head with his hand, "Since the Shence Army has appointed a lieutenant, no one in the Yushitai dares to cause trouble in Shence. The status of Nanya has also plummeted. This time you are good, not only have you gained the limelight in Yushitai, but also made Jin Wuwei proud. I'm afraid it won't be long before you can enter the three provinces."

Pei Jiaoran did not refute, but pursed his lips and smiled. He pinched Wu Lingjia's cheek with his hand and said, "Don't praise me like that. If anyone hears this, it may cause many obstacles for me."

Wu Lingjia smiled when he heard this, scratched her waist with his backhand and said warmly: "If you didn't want to go to the Three Provinces, why did you make such a big fuss. This is not like your past temperament."

A trace of astonishment slipped through his eyes, and Pei Jiaoran relaxed his eyebrows. In her previous life, she was indeed not as flamboyant as she is now, and could even be said to be very gentle. After seeing the cold-bloodedness of those people, she knew that gentleness was the most useless thing in this world. In the field of power, only those who have an iron fist, a tough attitude, are not afraid of bloodshed, and know how to turn around can win.

And only the winner can set the rules on the card table.

No one can walk in the field of power without blood on their hands and dust on their body. This road has never been clean since the day it appeared.

"After four years of experience in Jinchang, I understand the truth." Pei Jiaoran smiled.

"What?"

"There seem to be endless ways to play on the card table, but in fact there is only one way to play from the beginning to the end. That is, you have to be strong enough to grab the food from the tiger's mouth, and then solve all the troubles caused by the tiger's mouth."

Wu Lingjia raised his eyebrows, "In short, fists are the last word?"

"Of course."

Although there will never be a shortage of people at the political table, there is also a need for someone to act as a winner and guide those who come after us to join the game of survival one after another to ensure that the game can continue to be played forever.

But winners will also be replaced, and the rules of the game will be re-established when a new winner is born. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the present, there have been many stars and frosts. Rivers and mountains will change, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the political card table.

"No wonder Aye likes you. You are indeed much better than any of them."

After saying this, Pei Jiaoran's eyes flashed with surprise.
