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

It was getting light and Pei Jiaoran had already stood up. She stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself, her pale complexion looking even more melancholy under her goose-yellow skirt. She took a deep breath.

She took off her skirt and put on the light green round-necked robe again. Although his face was still pale, his eyes were shining. He pushed the door open and walked out with dignity.

very good. I didn't see Li Xiujing when I went out this time. But thanks are still in order.

Facing the sky, Pei Jiaoran strolled in the Governor's Mansion with his hands behind his hands. None of the patrolling guards seemed to have noticed her, and they looked at her intently. When she asked where Li Xiujing was, she stopped and pointed in the direction.

The school grounds of the Governor's Mansion.

It is not unusual for the governor's office to have a school ground. The governor is in charge of local military affairs and must also train troops. But since it is a school ground, it cannot be just practice.

When Pei Jiaoran arrived, the school grounds were quite lively. The soldiers gathered together to perform martial arts, and the shouts and shouts seemed to shake the sky.

Li Xiujing, who was on the high platform, looked around, and his peripheral vision fell on a light green spot not far away. He tilted his head and gave a few instructions to the deputy general, then went down to look for the person.

"Are you awake? Let's have breakfast together later." Li Xiujing looked at her with a gentle expression.

"No need. The county government's kitchen will be ready. Besides, the county government still has matters to deal with." After saying this, Pei Jiaoran bowed to him and said, "Thank you very much, the governor, for taking me in. I'll take my leave."

"Pei Jiaoran."

Pei Jiaoran turned around when she heard Li Xiujing calling her. I saw the other party leaning against the wooden pillar with his arms folded, with a gentle look on his face, "Do you want to have breakfast with Dugu Chen's people? Aren't I better?"

His smile was gentle, but his words were full of malice.

"The governor's palace is not ready for the meal yet. Can the governor take the officer to the shooting range?" Pei Jiaoran said indifferently.

"You have injuries on your hands."

"No problem."

After saying that, Li Xiujing had no choice but to pull her away.

Li Xiujing took her to a shooting range and ordered Huo Chang to get a bow and arrows. Looking at Pei Jiaoran hesitantly, he was hesitating whether to give it to her.

Handing the bow and arrows and quiver to Pei Jiaoran, Li Xiujing said in a deep voice, "Are you planning to use Dugu Chen as your target, shoot him a few times, and vent your anger, right?"

Li Xiujing gave Li Xiujing a blank look, and Pei Jiaoran put the quiver behind his back, drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and aimed at the bull's-eye. Her figure is extremely stable, with her front wrists flat and her back elbows flat. The fingers that drew the bow were bent, and the first arrow was shot quickly and steadily.

Li Xiujing on the side sighed and also aimed at the bullseye. Shoot an arrow with perfect accuracy.

The two seemed to be competing, each with one target, and neither of them wanted to let it go easily. Not long after, there were not many arrows left in the quiver.

"Prince, why did you betray your family?" With no one around, Pei Jiaoran asked about Li Xiujing himself.

"What do you think? Because the ancestors protected you and entered the dynasty, can you really get what you want? How many aristocratic families were not involved in the change of imperial power. People should not walk all the way to darkness. Then why did you enter the dynasty? It is really unreasonable to climb up to the world from a humble family."

While talking, the two of them shot an arrow at the same time.

Pei Jiaoran drew his bow and narrowed his eyes, "I want to leave my name in history." The hand on the string loosened, and the arrow left the string and flew toward the bull's eye.

"True?" Li Xiujing raised her lips, her words full of disbelief.

Ignoring Li Xiujing, Pei Jiaoran continued to repeat the action of drawing the bow and setting the arrow. Her archery skills were so good that even Li Xiujing was ashamed of herself.

"It's absolutely true." Pei Jiaoran said in a muffled voice, "His name will go down in history and he will be ranked in the Ancestral Temple. Isn't that a good thing?"

Pei Jiaoran took out the arrow from his quiver and heard Li Xiujing's smiling voice, "Your archery skills are very good. Who taught you that?"

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran was stunned, and the arrow fell from his hand and fell to the ground.

Who taught her archery skills? It was an archery skill passed down from her family, and it was a secret that could not be told.

Li Xiujing didn't answer, and Pei Jiaoran went to touch the arrow. He planned to shoot another arrow, but missed it. He had no choice but to say: "There have always been many people who are good at archery. Is it strange that I am good at this art? Is it only allowed to be a governor of the family and not to be promoted to an official position?"

The Li family in Longxi is a first-class high-ranking family. Even though he had succumbed to others a hundred years ago, he still recovered. It’s just that today’s glory is all due to the shadow of our ancestors.

Li Xiujing said to her, "No. I just think that with your good skills, you should be able to do well as a general."

Pei Jiaoran sneered when he heard this.

Looking at Pei Jiaoran, he saw that all the cotton wrapped around her hands had been removed. Just now he pulled the bow again, and now there was blood in several places. Very eye-catching.

A ray of golden light penetrated through the clouds and fell on the two of them. The snow has stopped and the sky is clear. A new day has fully arrived.

Realizing that Li Xiujing was looking at him, Pei Jiaoran withdrew his hand. Turn around and walk out.

At this moment, Li Xiujing grabbed her sleeve and pulled her into his arms.

An arrow flew over.

Pei Jiaoran was startled and looked at Li Xiujing who was very close at hand. He held her head firmly, feeling the pain of the sharp instrument scratching her skin.

His broad and steady palms dragged her steadily, and with a little force, she raised her head a little. The distance between the two is closer and their breathing can be heard. Pei Jiaoran felt that if he started counting now, he could probably count how many eyelashes Li Xiujing had.

With nephrite in her arms, Li Xiujing's Adam's apple rolled. He turned his head away in panic, as if he was thinking about what to say.

"Prince, are you okay? A thief just took a crossbow, and he didn't pay attention for a moment. He almost injured the governor, please punish him." Huo Chang said anxiously.

Li Xiujing suddenly put back his hands and stood up, looking at Huo Chang with an unhappy expression. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Pei Jiaoran, looking thoughtfully at the arrows on the ground.

After thinking for a while, Li Xiujing said: "I'm fine. You can go down first."

The fire chief obeyed and left.

As soon as Huo Chang left, Pei Jiaoran got up. Although Li Xiujing was protecting him just now, his body still fell to the ground. My whole body was sore now.

"This arrow should be aimed at me." Pei Jiaoran rubbed the carvings on the arrow, "Arrows commonly used in the army. Even if you want to look for it, you can't find it. This is Dugu Chen's provocation."

Dugu Chen's arrow was clearly telling the two of them. My meticulous work is by your side. If you are restless, I can kill you at any time.

This is an unpreventable cold arrow.

"I will take the opportunity to rectify the military affairs." Li Xiujing said solemnly.

Pei Jiaoran nodded when he heard this.

"Let's go, I'll take you to eat the morning meal. After you finish eating, go to the county government office."

Let Li Xiujing take her west. A soldier was called to fetch water to wash his hands. Stand under the verandah and bend down to clean your hands.

Pei Jiaoran, who was following him, curled his lips and smiled softly when he saw him like this.

Hearing laughter, Li Xiujing looked sideways. At that moment, he seemed to see spring colors mixed in Pei Jiaoran's eyes, and couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.

"Does Governor Li have a mysophobia?" Pei Jiaoran teased with his hands behind his back.

The water was very cold at this time, and he washed it very seriously. The hands are slightly red and the knuckles of the fingers are raised. There was a broken piece of skin on the back of my right hand.

Ignoring her, Li Xiujing took the towel handed by the soldier and wiped his hands. Suddenly he turned around, reached into the basin, and waved his hand towards Pei Jiaoran.

The cold water droplets fell on the face, and Pei Jiaoran subconsciously turned his head away. At the same time, hearty laughter reached my ears.

Looking up, he saw Li Xiujing looking at him with a proud look on his face.

Taking a look at Li Xiujing, Pei Jiaoran chuckled, "How old is the governor this year?"

After speaking, Pei Jiaoran turned and left.
