Return to your own house. Pei Jiaoran turned his head and glanced at Li Xiujing, who was still following behind him. The tip of his lips slowly raised, and a smile appeared on his brows.

She went inside.

Seeing this, Li Xiujing tied the horse aside and followed him in. He stood in front of the door and looked at Pei Jiaoran who was lighting the lamp in the house. She took off her light crimson robe and only wore a moon-white coat. The slender and tall figure can be seen at a glance.

After lighting the lamp, Pei Jiaoran gathered his clothes and sat down. He looked up at Li Xiujing who was standing at the door. The dim light swam in his beady pupils, and he raised his lips and smiled, "Xuan Yin, why don't you come in?"

A soft voice fell on her ears, and Li Xiujing looked at her for a moment. He walked straight in without sitting across from her. Instead, he sat next to her and looked at her fiercely.

"Is Lu Zheng worthy of your use? Today's Jinwu Guards are not as valuable as Shence Army." Li Xiujing's tone was full of men's natural defensiveness and hostility.

Pei Jiaoran rolled her eyes at him and muttered secretly. He raised his head and poured himself a cup of tea, but his hand had not yet touched the tea cup. Li Xiujing came over, hugged her waist unreasonably, leaned over and kissed her softly.

The incident happened so suddenly that she had no time to react. When he came back to his senses, he had been plundered by the other party without mercy.

"Li Xiujing, are you crazy?" Pei Jiaoran maintained his thoughts and tried to squeeze out a sentence.

"No. Paying back debts is a matter of course. What's wrong with asking for the money you owe me?" Li Xiujing replied to her, but he didn't mean to let her go, "Qingjia, you taught me this. "

Listening to Li Xiujing's rogue tone, Pei Jiaoran narrowed his eyes and said, "Then why don't you take a step closer? Xuanyin, you can't really do it, right?"

After saying this, he was pinched hard on the waist. Pei Jiaoran frowned and looked at the proud man in front of him. Taking a deep breath, she resisted the thought of beating him up.

Seeing that Pei Jiaoran didn't speak, Li Xiujing panicked instantly. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to help the person up, but her feet were caught by her and she tripped to the ground.

Looking down at Li Xiujing on the ground, Pei Jiaoran smiled solemnly.

"Xuan Yin, you have delayed for too long. If you delay for too long, there will be flaws." As he spoke, Pei Jiaoran scanned somewhere meaningfully.

With a chuckle, she moved away. This caused Li Xiujing to lie on the ground with a look of embarrassment and sigh.

Li Xiujing lay on her back like this until Pei Jiaoran came back.

Putting the food box on the table, she glanced at someone who was still lying on the ground, "Is it comfortable lying on the ground? I'm on holiday tomorrow, are you free?"

"nature."

"Then let's talk about returning to Yi. I have found a suitable candidate." Pei Jiaoran said while eating yellow cake.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiujing nodded directly in agreement without even thinking about it. He had already tested Lieutenant Liu's tone, and he had no objection to his proposal to embezzle the left army's return. He just reminded him not to let Zhang Rang notice it, and he could do the rest as he pleased.

He looked at Pei Jiaoran, who looked dull under the lamp, tilted his head and sighed secretly. He considered himself a prudent and restrained person, but every time he saw Pei Jiaoran's beautiful and charming facial features, he threw all the previous etiquette and rules behind him. He had an inexplicable desire to be frivolous and do whatever he wanted.

But she always falls into her trap, as if she had arranged it in advance. He was struggling in the trap, and she was looking at him with an innocent face. It was really disgusting.

Putting down his chopsticks, Pei Jiaoran looked at Li Xiujing and said, "It's time for you to go back."

"Okay. But you should tell me who this person you are looking for is, right?"

"Why are you asking so many questions? You'll know when you go there. Remember to come look for me tomorrow morning."

Choked by Pei Jiaoran's words, Li Xiujing left with a lonely look.

The next day Li Xiujing arrived as promised.

"Let's go."

"Where?"

"Zhongnan Mountain."

Li Xiujing rode on the horse with a steady expression on her face, but she couldn't hide her joy in her heart. From time to time, he glanced at Pei Jiaoran, who was walking side by side.

The two rode horses and ran up Zhongnan Mountain. When the ice and snow in the mountains melt, there are many people enjoying the spring outing.

Looking at the Bamboo Forest Garden in front of her, Li Xiujing frowned. Just as he was about to ask, he saw that Pei Jiaoran had already dismounted and knocked on the door. He could only follow and stand aside.

A servant quickly ran to open the door and welcomed the two in.

Looking around, Li Xiujing couldn't help but admire. I didn't expect that the owner of this place would be so elegant. The way this garden diverts water to build mountains is also unique. Walking there is like being in a villa in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Girl, the master has been hosting a banquet for you two for a long time." The main room opened in response. Sitting inside was Pei Zhanran.

He looked at the people inside and then at Pei Jiaoran beside him. An idea came to Li Xiujing's mind.

"Don't think too much, this is my brother." Pei Jiaoran walked in and sat at the bottom, and asked Li Xiujing to sit opposite.

The servant who had just led them in held up his hand, and soon the maids were bringing wine and food to the table one after another.

Pei Jiaoran took a sip of warm wine and said solemnly: "Today's banquet is to return the deal."

"Jiajia, didn't you agree to give it all to me?" Pei Zhanran took a piece of tender fish cheek meat and gave it to Pei Jiaoran, and glanced at Li Xiujing, "Why did you bring him here?"

Li Xiujing clenched his fist, and he finally understood the secret behind this. Pei Jiaoran planned to take control of Hui Yi's affairs into her hands. No wonder she wanted 64 but refused 73.

Huiyiwu is an important source of military expenditure for the Shence Army. In this current situation, there will be war at any time if everything is not secured. Supporting the country is just a show, let alone the military expenditures from the internal treasury.

If the right army had not been bullied by the left army for too long, it would always suffer in the trade. He really didn't want to share it with others. But he was somewhat unwilling to give it to Pei Jiaoran for nothing.

No one does this kind of business.

"I know what the general is worried about. Huiyiwu has been controlled by the Zuo Army for a long time, and it is an important source of military expenditure for the Shence Army." Pei Jiaoran looked at him and said in a deep voice: "The June 4th profit, I can guarantee that I will receive it. The return money will be higher than it is now.”

She had already gotten a rough idea of ​​what Zuo Jun was playing on Huiyi. But she personally feels that this method is extremely risky.

"What are you going to do?" Li Xiujing asked in a deep voice.

"The Shence Army, like other government offices, uses all the money from the public houses to make loans at interest rates. In this way, many money-grabbers will have to be raised to make loans at interest rates for Shence. Why not take the money from the public houses and lend them to us at interest rates? Why don't you go back to the barter business?" Pei Jiaoran poured a glass of wine and handed it to Li Xiujing, and continued: "The risk of running the market trade is much smaller than lending money to make profits."

Pei Zhanran, who was squinting and shaking the folding fan, saw that he didn't care. Li Xiujing moved his eyes again, "Why can't it be 70-30?"

"Because it cannot affect the management of prefectures and counties, we have to maintain the operation of Zuozang. Moreover, sixty-four points can provide more benefits than seventy-three points, and it will not arouse the anger of the people and businessmen. Why not? "After speaking, a smile appeared on Pei Jiaoran's face.

They are obviously two brothers and sisters, but it is Pei Jiaoran who always expresses his opinion. Li Xiujing understood instantly, fearing that the brother and sister had already discussed everything and were just waiting for him to take the bait.

He took a sip of wine with a low face. Li Xiujing glanced at Pei Jiaoran out of the corner of her eye and took a hard bite of the fresh mutton.

However, this matter did not cause any loss to Shence Army. He also believed that since she dared to take over this matter, she was probably fully confident. And he believed that Pei Jiaoran would give him a satisfactory answer.

If he had not known this, Pei Jiaoran would not have agreed so quickly.
