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

The rain has stopped for a while, and the weather is fine again in Chang'an City. The scenery you see is green and flowing, clouds are floating in the sky, and the summer breeze is smoky. When you climb up and look into the distance, you can see that Lishan Mountain is undulating and lush. Along with Xia Yang came the edict to appoint Jia Gonglu as Situ, as well as the order for Pei Jiaoran, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Shi Yuanyanchong, the Censor, to inspect the salt pond in the northwest of Beijing.

Both edicts came very suddenly.

Under the scrutinizing gaze of Emperor Wei, Pei Jiaoran lowered his head and accepted the emperor's order, then stood aside without saying a word. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Jia Gonglu, who had a calm expression on his face, and the corners of his lips were slightly pressed. When the capital account was approaching in August, he suddenly sent himself to inspect the Chiyanyanyuan in the northwest. It's really hard to figure out what they want to do.

The voice of the chamberlain announcing the end of the court was heard. Pei Jiaoran raised his head and looked at Yu Jia who was walking away, with thoughts in his eyebrows. After taking a deep breath, he followed the courtiers and filed away.

He entered the Ministry of Household Affairs shamelessly. As soon as he was about to sit down, he was called over by the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He asked her to hand over the matters at hand and leave tomorrow.

In response to the instructions of his immediate superior, Pei Jiaoran handed over the matters at hand to another minister of household affairs who had returned from observing filial piety. After explaining to his subordinates, he left.

Unexpectedly, it was only sunny for one day in Chang'an, and it started to rain again on the second day. Pei Jiaoran opened his eyes amidst the patter of rain, quickly washed up, picked up his luggage, and put on his raincoat and hat. Go out and ride your horse towards Kaiyuanmen.

Not seeing Yuan Yanchong in front of the far gate, Pei Jiaoran simply dismounted and ate the morning meal in a nearby restaurant. After she finished her morning meal, Yuan Yanchong rode over slowly.

Glancing at Yuan Yanchong, Pei Jiaoran raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go."

Yuan Yanchong wanted to speak, but Pei Jiaoran ignored him at all.

Seeing Pei Jiaoran riding his horse out of Kaiyuanmen, seeing the champion Yan Chong, he quickly urged his horse to catch up.

There are more than 23 salt ponds on the Guannai Road, and the nearest salt pond to the two of them is in Fuping, Jingzhao.

Glancing at the increasingly muddy road ahead, Pei Jiaoran dismounted and ran into the tea stall on the roadside, ordering some food.

"Why don't you keep walking?" Yuan Yanchong wrung out the water dripping from his sleeves and said with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"It's raining too much. It's hard to take a break. Why are you in such a hurry?" Pei Jiaoran slowly took a sip of tea and said, "There should be a Di's store nearby. I'll find a Di's store to take a rest later, and then leave tomorrow when the rain will lighten up. .”

Hearing this, Yuan Yanchong snorted coldly, "This is not like your past temperament. Speaking of which, you are such a good person, why were you sent to patrol. I have advised you to abandon the secret and turn to the light."

"Are you having a good time?" Pei Jiaoran glanced at him with ridicule in his eyes.

Choked by her words, Yuan Yan lowered his head. He wanted to reach out to take the steamed cake on the table, but Pei Jiaoran reached out to block it.

"Censor Yuan is not allowed to touch meat when traveling." Pei Jiaoran frowned and bit the steamed cake in his hand, "Does Censor Yuan want to disobey the order?"

Yuan Yanchong was furious, but there was nothing he could do against Pei Jiaoran. I could only order another vegetarian dish myself.

After eating the steamed cake, Pei Jiaoran wiped his hands. Looking around, I saw the store owner and his wife sitting aside to rest, so I walked over and started chatting with them.

She is naturally good-looking, and she is also very approachable. The couple was naturally happy to chat with her.

The three of them chatted for a while while burning incense. At Yuan Yanchong's urging, Pei Jiaoran had no choice but to say goodbye to the couple. Before leaving, the couple also gave her a bag of steamed cakes.

"What did you say to them?" Yuan Yan rushed to the horse and approached her and asked.

Pulling the reins, Pei Jiaoran relaxed his eyebrows and said, "This is the authority of my household department and has nothing to do with the Yushitai. We are almost at the Ditian. I hope there is still a room."

As soon as he entered the restaurant, the smell of alcohol hit his face, making Pei Jiaoran frown and take a few steps back. Let Yuan Yanchong go in first, and she will follow behind.

There were many people inside the restaurant. There was a large group of sergeants, as well as merchants and travelers coming and going.

Looking around, Pei Jiaoran covered his nose and walked towards the counter. At this time, the shopkeeper was sitting behind the counter and dozing off.

"Stay in the hotel." Pei Jiaoran tapped the table.

Hearing the sound, the shopkeeper quickly opened his eyes and looked at the two of them, and said with a smile: "Two guests, there is only one guest room left in the shop. Are you two?"

"Is there a woodshed in the backyard? Or a place where people can live." Pei Jiaoran glanced at Yuan Yanchong and smiled: "Just let him live there."

"This..." The shopkeeper looked at Yuan Yanchong and hesitated.

"Pei, don't go too far. Why don't you live in the woodshed by yourself?"

Raising his eyebrows and smiling, Pei Jiaoran said softly: "Because you can't beat me, and you can't defeat me. That's the principle of the jungle."

After saying that, Pei Jiaoran immediately paid the money and took the key from the shopkeeper. Follow the waiter to the guest room on the second floor.

As I walked past the group of soldiers, I heard whispers. Pei Jiaoran dug it out with a glance, his eyes showing coldness. Those people were so frightened that they turned away.

"Where did those sergeants come from?" Pei Jiaoran asked the waiter after going to the second floor.

The waiter was stunned when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Girl, they are all members of the Shence Army. They are usually arrogant and domineering, so you have to be careful."

"Oh. Shence Army..." Pei Jiaoran smiled helplessly, took ten cents from his sleeve pocket and handed it over, "Thank you for reminding me. You can use this money."

"Hehe, thank you girl. Whatever you need, just ask." The waiter smiled.

"Get me a basin of hot water." Pei Jiaoran took the candle and pushed open the door.

Putting down the candle, Pei Jiaoran walked to the window and looked outside.

The rain was still falling, and two lanterns outside the store were swaying in the wind.

"Girl, I brought you water."

Open the door and take the small second-hand wooden basin. Pei Jiaoran took off her armband, rolled up her sleeves, and washed her hands in the basin. She washed them very seriously. The wound on the arm has healed, leaving only a faint scar.

I have to say that the ointment Li Xiujing gave her was really effective. Within a few days of applying it, the scar faded a lot.

The sound of footsteps came from outside, accompanied by some chatter and laughter.

Curving his lips, Pei Jiaoran turned off the light. She lowered the curtains everywhere, put on her clothes and lay down, staring straight at the door.

It leaked a little bit more.

With a "squeak" sound, the door opened. Several figures jumped in from the door.

"Keep your voice down, don't wake anyone up."

"Should we kidnap the person or do the work on the spot."

"Hey, let's try it out first. It won't be too late to kidnap people back later."

"Boss, it's you who has the best idea."

Several people took off their clothes impatiently and threw themselves on the bed. But it all came to nothing.

"What about people?"

Pei Jiaoran, who was hiding in the dark, looked at a few people with his arms folded and smiled, and said with a smile: "What, are you looking for me?"

"You...how are you okay?" the leader said in horror.

"The method is too clumsy." Pei Jiaoran looked at the few people coldly, unsheathing the Jun in his hand, "Which military town are you from?"
