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

On the way to the county government office, the discussion behind the scenes continued. However, Pei Jiaoran looked as usual, showing no fear. It was as if she was not the one being discussed.

The subordinate officials who got the news were already waiting for Dugu Chen in front of the mansion. When they saw Pei Jiaoran coming with a horse and a person sitting on it, many people showed displeasure.

In the end, they all bowed and saluted with a roar.

Looking at the subordinate officials who were bowing to him, Dugu Chen said softly, "This horse and stone in front of the Yamen is not good. The Pei Ming Mansion has no choice but to wrong you again."

There was a lot of nitpicking and contempt in his tone.

Discussions also broke out from the crowd of subordinate officials. Many people's eyes fell on Pei Jiaoran, some with contempt, some intolerance, and some indignation.

They were densely intertwined and formed an airtight net, trapping her inside. The more she struggled, the deeper she sank and couldn't breathe.

The dizziness spread from the brain, and the vision turned black. Pei Jiaoran gritted his teeth and guarded the Qingming Festival on the spiritual platform. She knew why Dugu Chen did this. He just wanted to demoralize her and make her lose face.

As long as she bends her knees again now, the prestige she has established in front of these subordinates will be gone. Even if a county magistrate without prestige holds military power, he will not be able to achieve success. The people below will not obey her.

Pei Jiaoran narrowed his eyes and made a cold sound, then turned to look at Dugu Chen.

One is looking down, the other is looking up.

"Jie Shuai. If you convince others with your strength, you won't be convinced by your heart or with strength. If you convince others with virtue, your heart will be happy and you will be sincerely convinced." Pei Jiaoran folded his sleeves in front of him and bowed. It is a good fortune for the commander to hold the reins, and it is also known that the commander-in-chief manages the army well and loves the officers and men under his command. The commander-in-chief's mansion is the dynasty, the commander-in-chief is the chief, and a certain person is the minister. The county government is also a dynasty, the county magistrate is the chief, and the rest are As a minister. If the master loses his prestige, all government orders will be neglected. Han Fei Zili recorded that those who love many will not establish the law, and those who are weak will invade from below." Note 1

Only then did the soft voice fall, and cheers rang out from the team of subordinate officials. The one who took the lead in applauding was Chu You.

"Equate and eloquent." Dugu Chen still did not dismount. Instead, he raised his whip and waved at Pei Jiaoran, "I heard that Wu's music is very beautiful, and his white band dance is even more outstanding. I wonder if I am so lucky to see Wu's music and dance tonight. ."

Pei Jiaoran raised his eyebrows, his black hair dancing in the wind. Just now, Dugu Chen's whip knocked her hair off, and even the hairpin that bound her hair fell into the snow.

Green clothes, black hair, lips dripping with blood. Everyone looked at Pei Jiaoran, who was standing upright in front of them. With skin as smooth as frost and snow, if you wear a skirt, you will naturally look great.

But who is dancing in front of people? It's a dancer. And Pei Jiaoran was an official and a disciple of Wuchang Li. Dugu Chen's words were clearly an insult to her.

Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and sneered, "Wu and Yue fought, and the more they were defeated. Gou Jian was forced to be a slave, and Fu Chai humiliated him. Now that Wu Guoan is here? Liu Daozhen is in power, and brother Lu Shiheng came to Luoyang to worship him. He was teased by him, and I don't know where he is today. where?"

As soon as he said this, Dugu Chen's expression suddenly changed and he just kept silent.

Who is Liu Daozhen?

Liu Bao from the previous Jin Dynasty. He served as envoy Chijie, General Anbei, Colonel Wu Wan, Commander-in-Chief of You Bingzhou, and other military positions.

"Shishuo Xinyu" records that the Lu Shiheng brothers came to Luoyang and came to visit on the recommendation of Zhang Hua. At that time, Liu Bao was drunk, so he asked. I heard that there is a long-handled gourd in Soochow. I wonder if you two have brought it.

Later, Liu Baojing fled during the Eight Kings Rebellion. In the end, he became a tracker on the riverside and did not end well.

Watch his life. First, he was born as a bandit, and later he was appreciated and promoted to the military governor. But it won’t end well. Saying insulting words will eventually lead to humiliation. Being reduced to this is a retribution.

A sharp edge flashed across Dugu Chen's eyes. Pei Jiaoran was really hateful for his sharp teeth. First, Gou Jian is used as a metaphor for himself. Gou Jian spent several years lying on the firewood and tasting courage, and finally destroyed Wu. He also used Liu Bao as a metaphor for him and told him that if he insulted him again, Liu Bao's fate would be his fate.

At this moment, Dugu Chen had seen how powerful Pei Jiaoran was, and was unwilling to humiliate himself again. Then he turned over and dismounted, and said angrily to his left and right: "Come into the house for me."

After Dugu Chen entered the house, Pei Jiaoran pulled off a piece of cloth from his clothes and tied up his hair expressionlessly. He bent down and picked up the snow-covered futou, put it on again, and walked slowly into the house.

After learning that Dugu Chen was coming, Pei Jiaoran had already vacated the yard and tidied up the guest house. At this moment, Dugu Chen and his followers had already moved in swaggeringly.

The soldiers under his command surrounded the county government office. Pei Jiaoran was at her wits' end, and the soldiers under her command couldn't figure it out at all.

After arranging meals, Pei Jiaoran had to coordinate the expenses of all the people at the county government office. It was almost time to wait for her to finish all this.

Putting down his pen, Pei Jiaoran, who looked exhausted, stood up staggeringly and groped his way out. Facing the flying snow, I stepped out of the county office.

The county government office was occupied by Dugu Chen, and the general's mansion was also occupied. Now she can only go to the town barracks for a few days.

The moon over the border is like a blade and cold. At this moment, facing the falling snow, it feels even cooler.

I was hungry in my belly, and my hands were in pain. Pei Jiaoran bit his lip and tried to move forward. Suddenly his steps stopped and he looked at the person in front of him warily, his hands on his waist.

"It's me." The person turned around with a worried look on his face.

Seeing that it was Li Xiujing, Pei Jiaoran breathed a sigh of relief. However, he had no intention of coming forward, "Won't Li Governor go back?"

"Where can you go like this? The general's camp won't let you in." Ignoring Pei Jiaoran's scrutinizing gaze, Li Xiujing took off her fur coat and put it on her body, "You don't have to look at me like that. He Dugu Chen can Can’t I care about my subordinates?”

"I'm hungry." Pei Jiaoran frowned.

"What?"

The sound just now was drowned in the wind, and Li Xiujing had to ask questions.

Pei Jiaoran blinked and said, "I'm hungry."

Li Xiujing burst into laughter after hearing her words clearly. He bowed and made a gesture of invitation.

She followed him back to the Governor's Mansion.

As soon as he arrived at the Governor's Mansion, Li Xiujing asked his maids to find a set of clothes, and he would give them an extra monthly salary later.

"Whatever you want to eat, I'll let the cook do it." Li Xiujing said in a gentle tone.

"Red bean Lantern Festival. I want to eat something sweet." Pei Jiaoran's eyes flashed, "If not, steamed noodles with rose goose oil and steamed cakes will also work."

"Okay." Li Xiujing responded.

"Mr. Sir, the hot water has been prepared. This lady can take a bath." After a pause, the maid continued: "The clothes are also prepared for the lady."

Before Li Xiujing could speak, Pei Jiaoran had already stood up and left with the maid.

Half an hour later, Pei Jiaoran came back again. As soon as she gathered her clothes and sat down, the cook came in with dishes.

Li Xiujing couldn't help frowning as she looked at the sweet aroma of Yuanxiao in front of her. Why do they girls like to eat such sweet things?

Pei Jiaoran was really hungry and didn't care if there were any outsiders around him. Scoop up a spoonful, blow it on your lips to cool it, and chew it slowly in your mouth.

At this time, Li Xiujing's eyes fell on her face, and then on her hands.

The hands that should have been white and slender now seemed to have been buried in the snow for a long time, becoming red and swollen.

Li Xiujing turned around and gave some instructions to the common servant.
