After all, the issue of reducing troops is of great importance. Pei Jiaoran did not tell the whole story. After all, plans can't keep up with changes, and she can't guarantee whether there will be changes.

Seeing that the night was getting darker, the two left the restaurant. Li Xiujing personally delivered her to the mansion.

After watching Pei Jiaoran enter the house, Li Xiujing stood at the door for a long time before leaving. He had a lot to say to her but didn't know how to say it.

The night was as cold as water, and Li Xiujing walked in the dark song with a faceless face in the direction of Li's house. Suddenly, there was a thin sound of stepping on tiles, which reached my ears.

Li Xiujing stopped and immediately turned around and ran back. If he read correctly, the direction those people were going was Pei Jiaoran's house.

Although Pei Jiaoran's house was far inferior to other fourth-rank officials, it was not enough to attract thieves. These people have made it clear that they are here with bad intentions.

Without thinking too much, Li Xiujing stepped on the wall and entered. What he saw was a house that had fallen into darkness, and there was silence all around. He put his hand on the horizontal knife.

He stepped forward gently, pushed the door open and entered. There is a bloody smell all around, so proceed carefully. However, he almost tripped over something under his feet. After steadying himself, Li Xiujing lowered his head to take a look.

A body lay on the ground. Sealing the throat with a sword, the movement was clean and neat.

"Qingjia." Li Xiujing called.

"I'm here."

Hearing the voice coming from behind the screen, Li Xiujing rushed over. Pei Jiaoran was seen sitting on the desk in his middle coat, wiping his sword.

"Why are you here?" Pei Jiaoran put down his sword and took a towel from the side to wipe his hands. "There are two groups of them. One group ambush in the house early in the morning, and the other group came from behind. It seems that they intend to ambush kill me."

Concerned that Pei Jiaoran was only wearing a middle coat, Li Xiujing did not dare to approach and asked worriedly: "You are not injured, are you?"

"It's just a little skin injury. These people should be sent by Jia Gonglu." After speaking, Pei Jiaoran took out the medicine box and simply cleaned the wound in the moonlight. He picked up some ointment with his fingertips and applied it to the wound naturally.

Seeing Pei Jiaoran applying the medicine very casually, Li Xiujing sighed. He took off his forehead mop and tied it in front of his eyes. He walked to Pei Jiaoran's side based on his feeling and stretched out his hand towards her.

"What are you doing?" Pei Jiaoran looked up and saw the red eyes on Li Xiujing's forehead and a smile on his lips, "Xuan Yin, what are you doing?"

"Put on the medicine." Li Xiujing recalled where she had put the handkerchief and took the medicine box from her hand. He took some ointment and spread it evenly on her wound.

She had a deep wound on the back of her hand. Li Xiujing pursed her lips, picked up the handkerchief on the side and quickly wrapped it tightly around the wound. He held her hand, feeling warmth lingering in his palm.

Li Xiujing held his hand firmly, and Pei Jiaoran curled his lips. He kicked off his boots and moved his free hand up his arm. There was color in his eyes. The feet wearing only footbags touched his legs intentionally or unintentionally, like the flesh pads on a cat's paws. Although it was itchy, it was very comfortable.

"Qingjia." Li Xiujing reached out to hold her waist, and the deep waist was visible. He took a deep breath, took off his forehead wipe and threw it aside. Looking at Pei Jiaoran, who looked innocent, his eyes darkened slightly.

A stream of moonlight fell into the room, lingering between the two people's eyebrows. The bells on the eaves outside the window were ringing, and a faint fragrance filled the room.

"If you want anything from me, I don't mind handing me over to you." Li Xiujing breathed deeply and pressed against her ear, "Qingjia, I like you."

"Like me?" Pei Jiaoran narrowed his eyes, his voice and breath overlapped, "Then I'll try to like you too. Anyway, Xuanyin, you look quite handsome."

"Is it just that?" Catching the cunning in her eyes, Li Xiujing glanced from the tip of her hair to the tip of her hair. He looked at the person in front of him rather teasingly.

"Isn't it supposed to be like this? The so-called fair lady is a gentleman. Isn't it because of this that Xuanyin likes me? So I like your handsome appearance. What's the problem?" Pei Jiaoran blinked and said seriously.

Listening to Pei Jiaoran's nonchalant tone, Li Xiujing got close to her and couldn't help but kiss her earlobe. He released her hand and moved it to the back of her head, carefully supporting her. Let him lie down on the desk.

"Qingjia, let me walk side by side with you." He greedily smelled the faint fragrance on her body, and the wetness lingered between her skin.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran just smiled, closed his eyes and let Li Xiujing toss him around. The table beneath him was so hard that it caused severe pain in his back.

Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes and said in an indifferent tone, "Xuan Yin, are you feeling better? It's slow and it hurts my back."

The head buried deep in her neck finally lifted up. Li Xiujing looked down at her and said with a smile: "You won't like it if it's too soon." Before his breathing had calmed down, he caught a glimpse of the rosy peach on her face, "I'll go back and talk to Liu Lieutenant, please mention Heshuo. If he also has this idea, he should be able to do what you want."

When Li Xiujing didn't respond, Pei Jiaoran stretched out his hand to rub his waist.

"What to do with these corpses on the ground?" Pei Jiaoran said with a frown while wrapped in his coat.

"Go and report to Jing Zhaoyin tomorrow morning. Let them find a way to catch the murderer." Li Xiujing turned to look at Pei Jiaoran, "Tonight, let's go to Di's store to rest for the night."

He didn't think Pei Jiaoran would be willing to spend a night with these corpses on the ground.

Looking around, Pei Jiaoran frowned, "But if someone dies, you have to explain to Jing Zhaoyin what happened." She smiled and said, "Just let them kill each other."

Li Xiujing looked at her doubtfully after hearing this.

I saw Pei Jiaoran moving the body and glanced at him, "What are you doing over there? You haven't come to help yet. Pretend that they met here, they started fighting over a disagreement, and they both died in the end."

After knowing Pei Jiaoran's intention, Li Xiujing moved the body with her. Under her orders, the room was made a mess.

Taking a deep breath, Pei Jiaoran picked up the blanket and walked out.

"Someone came home and saw that the house was in a mess and there were corpses. Although he was inexplicably frightened, in order to protect the place and let Jing Zhaoyin catch the culprit, he had to take a break at the door of the room." Pei Jiaoran sat on the verandah wrapped in a blanket. Next, he began to talk nonsense seriously.

"Then Jing Zhaoyin must be very grateful to you." Li Xiujing glanced at her and followed her example and sat down. He held her hands in his arms and asked, "What are your plans next?"

Pei Jiaoran yawned when he heard about it, "It's not time to break up with Jia Gonglu yet, but assassinating a court official is a serious crime. It would be nice if I can use this to create a little trouble."

"Who are you going to attack?"

"Wei Chen had a conflict with Lieutenant Tian today. He was so angry that he hired a murderer to kill me, but he met another group of people. Wei Chen came back late after going out, so he survived." Pei Jiaoran met Li Xiujing's gaze and bent. He curled his lips and said, "I would like to ask your Majesty to find out the real culprit."

Lieutenant Zuo Shence was at odds with her, which was obvious to many people. It is reasonable to hire someone to kill her tonight.
