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

As soon as the voice fell, the sound of horse hooves came from the distance. Pei Jiaoran looked for his voice and walked over.

I saw more than ten people coming on horseback, wearing narrow-sleeved round-collared robes, with red forehead ties tied on their heads, and seven objects hung on their belts. He looked like a military attache.

Pei Jiaoran frowned and thought for a while, then turned to look at Li Xiujing.

He gestured to her. The opponent should be the garrison in the same state.

Pei Jiaoran frowned when he saw Li Xiujing's gesture. He lowered his head silently. Without knowing the other party's purpose for the time being, she was unwilling to cause any unnecessary trouble.

The other party seemed to be worried about the large number of people in their group, so he didn't get too close to them and only stood on the left. So the two sides took sides.

The atmosphere in the porridge shed was strange and solemn.

Mist billows between heaven and earth, and rain falls continuously. Pei Jiaoran stood up and walked to the porridge shop, standing with his hands crossed.

"Damn it, how long will this rain continue to rain?" A voice complained from the left.

Hearing the sound, Pei Jiaoran moved his eyes and looked over. There is not even a state or county official guarding such a large porridge shop. And why are these people in front of them here?

Just as she was thinking, a group of refugees taking shelter from the rain were running towards the porridge shop. Just as they were about to come in, they were stopped by the group on the left.

Looking at the group of refugees, Pei Jiaoran put his hand on the hilt of his sword. The group of military attaches were already fighting with them with horizontal knives. But the opponent was a trained sergeant after all, and this group of refugees had obviously been hungry for several days. Although they could temporarily gain the upper hand due to the large number of people, they were clearly outnumbered over time.

Seeing that they were losing to the enemy, the refugees pushed a child towards her. The dirty child rushed straight towards her. Pei Jiaoran stepped back subconsciously, but still reached out to stop the child.

The child gouged her out, opened his mouth and bit her wrist fiercely. Then he reached out to grab the Hu cake in her hand.

"Qingjia." Li Xiujing called. Huo Di rushed forward, pulled the child away and threw him to He Liang.

Pei Jiaoran frowned and looked at the child struggling in He Liang's hands, thinking flashed in his eyes. He signaled Wu Lingjia to take out a piece of cake from his bag, took the cake and handed it to the child. He asked He Liang to let him go again.

As soon as the child took the cake, he immediately started gobbling it up. Seeing his appearance, Pei Jiaoran handed over the water bag. Looking at him with a gentle expression.

The child was eating enthusiastically, but still looked at Pei Jiaoran eagerly. Ignoring him, Pei Jiaoran unsheathed his sword and headed towards the door. Hengjian blocked the space between the two parties.

Most of the refugees were pushed to the ground, and only a few young people were still resisting. Looking at them, Pei Jiaoran turned his head and looked at the military attaches.

The leading military attache looked at Pei Jiaoran and angrily shouted: "Where are you bandits from? How dare you use weapons to cause chaos."

"When the road is rough, why not draw your sword to help?" Pei Jiaoran smiled broadly on his face and held the pure Jun in his hand to embrace the light of the sky.

It seemed that Pei Jiaoran did not expect that Pei Jiaoran would suddenly take action, and the leading sergeant showed doubts in his eyes. Glancing at Li Xiujing and others who were still in the shed, he suddenly remembered the gestures they made just now.

"Are you in the military?" the man said.

Hearing this, Li Xiujing came out and said, "No. It's just a merchant passing through this place and he joined the army before. You are a sergeant, why do you oppress the people?"

"Common people? These people are all unruly people who attack the government offices. We are here to arrest them." The man looked at the two of them with a fierce look in his eyes, "I hope you two will not stop me. Otherwise, don't blame the sword. Eyeless.”

The implication of the other party's words was to warn them that if they meddle in their own business, then don't blame them for being unkind.

Looking at the refugees with fierce eyes, Pei Jiaoran licked his lips. She knew that under the extreme exploitation of the powerful gentry, these refugees would not easily attack the government office unless they were desperate. Although they violated the law, the local county officials and gentry were not necessarily clean, let alone innocent.

"Which county are you from?" Pei Jiaoran asked with a smile.

"I'm from Heyang." The man replied.

"The soldiers of Heyang? Then let me ask you, who set up the porridge shop here? Why are there no officials guarding it? Do you think the food in the pot is edible?" Pei Jiaoran stood with his hands cut, his eyes cold. , "And if you want to get someone, do you have an official letter?"

Choked by Pei Jiaoran's series of words, the other party narrowed his eyes and looked at her, then his eyes fell on Li Xiujing. Seeing everyone's extraordinary bearing, the doubts in his eyes became more and more serious.

Suddenly a person came up next to him and whispered in his ear.

After saying this, the man brandished his knife angrily: "I heard that there are often rogue bandits nearby who cause trouble in the countryside. I will capture you and hand them over to the Ming government for trial."

After listening to the man's words, Pei Jiaoran smiled.

"Then I'll let you go."

It seemed that Pei Jiaoran's attitude changed so quickly. The man looked suspicious, but still sent his men to tie up the group and escort them to Heyang together with their horses. As for the group of common people, they were also taken back.

They couldn't figure out their identities, and the other party didn't embarrass them too much along the way. But when he tied Pei Jiaoran, he tied him tighter than others.

All the way to Heyang, refugees kept passing by. But most of them are old and weak, women and children, and there are very few men. Looking around, Pei Jiaoran had a sneer on his face.

Before dark. The group finally arrived at Heyang City. The city gate was tightly closed and a bamboo fence was erected in front of it. There were also town soldiers maintaining a basic cordon at the door. When they saw them being escorted over, they stepped forward to verify the person's identity before letting them in.

At this time, the county government office was still brightly lit, and a group of government officials gathered around, each holding a wooden stick.

"It will be hard for Zhou Zhen. Who are these people?" A man in a Ge-colored robe pointed at them.

"Oh, the bandits entrenched in Tongzhou. It was not a coincidence that I encountered them, so I captured them all together." Zhou Zhenjiang said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Pei Jiaoran lowered his head and did not answer.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside the door, and a middle-aged man in a light green robe strode into the hall surrounded by government officials. That week, when the general saw someone coming, he came forward to greet him.

"Mingfu, the general has captured all the unruly people who attacked the government office." After saying that, he pointed at Pei Jiaoran, "This female thief is a bandit who wants to rescue the unruly people. Maybe they are the ones who instigated the people to attack the government office. , so that they can rebel. I hope you will judge them severely."

Pei Jiaoran was branded as a rebel by Zhou Zhenjiang for no reason, and Pei Jiaoran squeaked coldly. He looked at the Heyang County Magistrate with an arrogant expression.

Seeing Pei Jiaoran's appearance, Zhou Zhenjiang said angrily: "You are so bold and cunning, why don't you kneel down when you see the Ming Dynasty?"

"But a seventh-grade county magistrate is worthy of my kneeling?" Pei Jiaoran said with a smile.

"Presumptuous! Rebellion is considered a treason according to the laws of our court. You are about to die, but you still dare to be so arrogant." As he spoke, the Heyang County Magistrate had already walked to the main seat and glared at Pei Jiaoran, who looked calm in front of him.

"It's not certain who is going to die." The end of the voice was deliberately prolonged, and Pei Jiaoran looked at the Heyang County Magistrate, "Isn't the Ming Dynasty too confident in saying that someone's life will be taken lightly?"

"Is it possible that you still hope that someone will come to save you?"
