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

After taking a look at Pei Jiaoran, Li Xiujing nodded in agreement. Although he didn't understand why she suddenly changed her mind, in his opinion, Bi Feilai could help her share some things without saying anything. More importantly, at least she doesn't have to go to restaurants as often.

"I'll leave it to you Yuan Yanchong. I didn't sleep well last night, and I'm very tired now." Pei Jiaoran leaned back and closed his eyes, "Don't disturb me."

After saying that, she kicked off her black leather boots with an impatient look on her face and lay down on her side. He pulled the blanket over himself.

Seeing this, Li Xiujing shook his head and smiled, then followed her. Sitting beside her, his eyes fell on the hosta she used to tie her hair. Thinking of what they had experienced in Guazhou, his eyes instantly softened. Just look at her quietly and do nothing.

She slept for two full hours. Pei Jiaoran opened his eyes and turned around, and when he caught a glimpse of a purple robe with animal patterns beside the pillow, he immediately became wary.

"Are you awake?" Li Xiujing smiled.

Hearing Li Xiujing's voice, Pei Jiaoran frowned, "Why are you here? No..." She stood up and stared at the person next to her: "Where is Yuan Yanchong? Why is he so calm?"

"Feng Yuanxian thought he was noisy, so he beat him unconscious." Li Xiujing smiled, "Speaking of which, why would he come out with you?"

"The heart of the king is unpredictable. How do I know why your majesty asked him to come out with me? Anyway, it's good to have him here. At least it saves me a lot of trouble." Pei Jiaoran got out of bed and put on his boots. Seeing that Li Xiujing was still sitting, he sighed. The voice said: "What are you still doing sitting there? Aren't you hungry?"

"It's all simmering on the stove. But I have to call Yuan Yanchong, right? I don't want to be impeached by the people from their Yushitai for no reason." After speaking, Li Xiujing walked out.

While Li Xiujing was out, Pei Jiaoran took the horizontal knife he put on the shelf and started playing with it. She tapped the blade with her fingers, and a pair of peach blossom eyes reflected on the blade.

"Li Xiujing, don't go astray again."

Listening to Yuan Yanchong's noisy voice outside the tent, Pei Jiaoran glanced at the horizontal knife in his hand and placed it on the food table. Then he looked up at the door and raised his lips.

The curtain moved, and Yuan Yanchong was escorted in by Li Xiujing with his hands behind his back, still muttering incessantly. Li Xiujing, on the other hand, acted like he was free to say whatever he wanted, but I wouldn’t listen anyway.

Also coming with them was the fire chief in the camp.

"Pei Jiaoran! Don't use your power to bully others!" Seeing Pei Jiaoran sitting lazily, Yuan Yan said angrily. Looking around, he caught a glimpse of the outer robe on the cloak and the futou falling on the ground. His eyes widened, "What kind of appearance do you two have?"

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran turned his head silently and glanced at the dripping wet clothes on the screen. The dripping water snaked like a snake and disappeared through the door.

"When the rain stops, you go to Fuping's Salt Garden first. I'll be there soon." Pei Jiaoran glanced at Huo Chang's greasy hands. Thinking of Li Xiujing's words before, he moved back. He looked like he was facing a formidable enemy.

Catching a glimpse of Pei Jiaoran's movements from the corner of her eye, Li Xiujing couldn't help but smile. Making her raise her eyes and glare at him.

After letting the fire go down, Li Xiujing walked towards Pei Jiaoran. He sat down next to her and said, "Don't worry. I've washed it several times and it's absolutely clean."

Listening to Li Xiujing's words, Pei Jiaoran looked suspicious. He looked at the sauced meat in the middle, and then looked at Yuan Yanchong.

"Yuan Yushi, give it a try. I heard that the fire chief in the Shence Army is quite good at his craftsmanship." Pei Jiaoran stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the sauce meat, put it on a plate and pushed it to Yuan Yanchong, with a smile on his face.

"What's the relationship between you two?" Yuan Yanchong was obviously hungry, so he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the sauced pork in the bowl.

Fiddled with the sesame porridge in the bowl, Pei Jiaoran smiled, "Yuan Yushi, is it possible that you have a habit of cutting off your sleeves? You actually care about Li Xiujing so much." After saying that, she said with a teasing look, "Don't worry, I won't talk to you. Steal him."

Li Xiujing was engrossed in eating when she suddenly overturned her bowl when she heard this.

"Xuan Yin, why did you overturn the bowl? Could it be that I was right?" Pei Jiaoran said with a smile.

"I will never associate with such a person. I just can't bear Xuanyin to be deceived by you." Yuan Yanchong picked up his chopsticks, "He shouldn't be like this."

Pei Jiaoran's eyes were sarcastic, "But I haven't seen you having an easy life either. Yuan Yanchong, you are just a chess piece in Wang Yu's hands, how can you be better off."

After the words fell, Yuan Yanchong fell silent for an instant. He buried his head in drinking the sesame porridge on the table. Indeed, as Pei Jiaoran said, he joined the officialdom for the sake of his family's future. He willingly became a chess piece in Wang Wei's hands, and he was really no better than the two of them.

Yuan Yanchong remained silent this time. When she wasn't paying attention, Li Xiujing moved closer to Pei Jiaoran and whispered to her, "Qingjia, what did you just say? Do you really not care if someone robs me from you?"

"I don't care. If someone robs you with me, and in exchange, I can get benefits. Why should I care?" Pei Jiaoran moved a little away without leaving a trace, and said with a smile.

But the further she walked away, the closer Li Xiujing got to her. In the end, Pei Jiaoran couldn't bear it anymore and simply sat still.

Seeing that Pei Jiaoran didn't move, Li Xiujing smiled. A gentle bite on her earlobe.

"Qingjia is really cruel." Li Xiujing whispered.

Yuan Yanchong on the side raised his head at this moment, "In broad daylight, do you two have to do this? If you want to do anything, I will go out now."

Pei Jiaoran suddenly sat upright, and Li Xiujing also immediately sat upright, and the two ignored each other.

"How do you plan to check the Northwest Salt Conservancy's account?" Yuan Yanchong asked.

"You are the censor, and you have the right to adjust the accounts of various salt institutes." Pei Jiaoran took a sip and continued: "Bring the account book back, and I will handle the rest."

The Ministry of Accounts does not have the power to directly intervene in the account books, and still needs the help of the Yushitai. The more important point is that she wants to take Yuan Yanchong away. After all, it would be too extensive to investigate Shence Army's operations in the northwest. It would be of no benefit to them both if Wang Yu knew about it.

"What about you?" Yuan Yanchong asked.

"It's raining heavily, so I'm taking shelter from the rain. Besides, I'm the Minister of Household Affairs, Fan Duzhi, and I'm not the salt and iron transfer envoy. It's been raining for three days in a row, and I have to go to the Changpingcang everywhere." Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and said warmly: "If there is an emergency, the court can respond in time."

After listening to his words, Yuan Yan nodded. Although he also disliked Pei Jiaoran very much, he had to admit it when the time came. Pei Jiaoran always thinks about more things than others. If she had not switched to Jia Gonglu, maybe the two of them could have become close friends.

The three of them each had something to do, and they all finished their meal like a storm. Taking advantage of the rain subsided, Yuan Yanchong said goodbye to the two of them.

"Are you really worried about Yuan Yanchong?" Li Xiujing asked.
