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

Thick clouds gathered in the sky, and Pei Jiaoran walked back to the house with a leisurely expression. He caught a glimpse of Zhou Mancao leaning against the window and reading a book, and smiled. He walked over quietly and looked at her by the window with bated breath.

Now Zhou Mancao was holding a volume of "Zuo Zhuan" in her hands, and she seemed to be looking at it quite seriously. He didn't even notice she was looking at her.

After thinking about it, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "There is a saying in "Zuo Zhuan" that a gentleman values ​​his own body and can reach others, so he is polite. Madam Zhou, can you remember which paragraph this sentence comes from?"

"In the twenty-fifth year of Zhaogong in the Zhaogong chapter, Uncle Sunnu went to the Song Dynasty to ask for advice. He was received by Le Daxin, the right master of the Song Dynasty. During the conversation between the two, the right master looked down on the officials of the Song Dynasty and despised the Sicheng family. Uncle Sunnu Sun Nu then told the subordinates of Youshi, "I am afraid that Youshi is going to flee. A gentleman values ​​his own body and reaches others, so it is polite." Zhou Mancao raised his head and looked at her, "And now he even The officials and clan members do not respect him, which means he despises himself. Can such a person be polite? Those who are rude will inevitably flee. After that, the Song and Yuan Dynasties entertained Shusunnu with gifts. He also gave it "New Palace" and Shusun Nu responded with "Che Ju". As for Le Daxin's final fate, he had a rift with Le Ziming during Le Qi's mourning period, so Le Ziming went to Song Jinggong to complain. He said that Le Daxin was not good for the Le family, so he refused to go to Jin. He was about to cause trouble, causing Song Jinggong to expel him. It can be regarded as complying with Shusun Nu's words. "

After listening to Zhou Mancao's words, Pei Jiaoran took the paper from his sleeve and handed it to her. Nunu pursed her lips and motioned for her to open it and take a look.

Looking at her suspiciously, Zhou Mancao carefully unfolded the paper.

The piece of paper is exactly her signature.

Catching the disbelief in Zhou Mancao's eyes, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "He Zan gave it to you. Do you want to leave your country? If you want to leave, just take it and fly away."

"No. But I want to follow you." Zhou Mancao smiled bitterly, "I have no skills and no family, so what if I quit my citizenship?" In order to make a living in the future, they might have to marry and have children, and their children would have to do corvee labor. I have met many scholar-bureaucrats in my life, and most of them are busy chasing fame and fortune. But you are different from them. You are the first person I have ever seen who sincerely considers the people. Oh, and Yuan Yanchong is also one, but he is not as smooth as you. "

After saying that, Zhou Mancao returned the membership card to Pei Jiaoran.

Pei Jiaoran frowned as he saw the card returned to his hand. From her point of view, it would be best for Zhou Mancao to leave his country and fly away. After all, she couldn't tell whether Wang Yu knew about it. If they knew about this, they would probably try their best to torture her so that Zhou Mancao would admit that it was Jia Gonglu and others who instigated her.

"Follow me?" Pei Jiaoran raised his lips, "If you don't leave now, Wang Yu will probably arrest you and jail you after you go back. I can't predict what you will face. So you have to think carefully."

"Can I escape if I leave? It's better to go straight into the palace." Zhou Mancao said warmly.

After seeing that Zhou Mancao had made up his mind, Pei Jiaoran did not do much to dissuade him. Instead, he sent her to the kitchen to prepare food.

Half an hour later, Zhou Mancao returned. At this time, Pei Jiaoran had placed candles everywhere and pulled down many curtains to wrap them around.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Mancao asked.

When asked, Pei Jiaoran didn't answer and threw the gauze curtain to Zhou Mancao. Pointing everywhere, "Tie them up like me. I'll show you some fun later."

Looking at her, Zhou Mancao didn't ask any questions. Tie the veil in various places according to her pattern. After a while, the entire room became like a spider web.

"In the past, Sun Liulian's army defeated Cao Wei with a fire attack on the Yangtze River. Are you planning to burn the salt field?" Zhou Mancao looked around and frowned. It seems that he doesn't believe in the feasibility of this matter.

"I watched the sky last night. There is wind today, and fire will rise on the wind."

After the two had eaten, Pei Jiaoran sent Zhou Mancao to wait for her at the back door of the salt courtyard, and she would come later.

After Zhou Mancao left, Pei Jiaoran took out a fire note from his sleeve pocket. Lighted the candle on the table. Holding the flame in her hand, she held her lips together. He moved to the window and looked up at the dusk that had gathered all the afterglow in the sky.

Pei Jiaoran sat by the window until the sound of drums started to sound, and then he got up. He looked down at the candlestick in his hand, jumped out of the window, and threw the candle in his hand back into the room. The flames instantly spread along the connected curtains.

Looking at the house where the fire suddenly started, Pei Jiaoran frowned. He jumped up to the ridge of the roof and ran towards the back door.

"You're finally here." Zhou Mancao emerged from the grass in the distance.

Looking at Zhou Mancao, Pei Jiaoran nodded. He signaled her to get on her horse quickly, and the two of them had to leave this place quickly.

Although he didn't understand why Pei Jiaoran was so anxious, Zhou Mancao still did as he was told. The two of them galloped through the night.

It wasn't until the flames soaring behind him gradually disappeared that Pei Jiaoran reined in his horse. Yu Gaoya looked back at the fire in the distance and smiled. He looked up at the night again.

At this time, the stars were dim and the bright moon was covered by the darkness of night.

"Hurry up and get going." After Pei Jiaoran finished speaking, he raised his whip and drove the horse forward.

The two traveled all night and finally returned to Shence Army Town at dawn.

From afar, he saw Li Xiujing standing at the gate of the camp with her hands cut off, and Pei Jiaoran curled her lips. He stroked the reins with his fingers, slowed down, and walked forward leisurely.

Li Xiujing, who was at the gate of the camp, seemed to be aware of her intention, got on his horse and ran towards her. The reins blocked her way.

"I know what you want to ask. But can you wait until I have a rest before talking?" Pei Jiaoran said with a smile.

After looking her over, Li Xiujing nodded. He threw the riding crop to He Liang, who came with him, and he personally dismounted and held the rein for her.

"Tsk, Xuanyin is so excited. He actually held the reins for me personally." Pei Jiaoran looked down at him with a narrow tone.

Li Xiujing chuckled, "Why not?"

Zhou Mancao looked at the two of them and couldn't help but smile. Suddenly he reined in the reins and threw the two of them away, following He Liang and running towards Shence Army Town.

"I have asked Feng Yuanxian to go to Hangzhou to pick up Bi Fei for you. Don't worry, I promise to deliver Bi Fei to you safely." Li Xiujing said.

Pei Jiaoran said: "Thank you very much."

Hearing her words, Li Xiujing suddenly stopped. He turned to look at her with an indifferent expression, "Are you just saying thank you? No other expression?"

"How could it not be?" Pei Jiaoran smiled, "Brother came back from Jiangnan a few days ago. He brought good news."

"what news?"

"Of course it's a matter of Hui Yi. Guess how much money brother made." Pei Jiaoran's eyes twitched, and there was a dim light in his eyes. Li Xiujing was stunned for a while.

Finally, Li Xiujing put aside his head and whispered: "It's not too late to tell me as soon as you have rested." He paused and then said: "I sent someone to prepare hot water for you in the tent. You wash Take a bath and have a good rest.”

Pei Jiaoran was not too surprised by Li Xiujing's thoughtfulness and thanked him with a smile. The two followed Zhou and He into the camp together.
