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

Quan Dehui was dead, and the others were all captured. Li Xiujing sent another bodyguard to count the number of enemy generals, while he rode his horse to find Pei Jiaoran.

After a while, Li Xiujing came to Pei Jiaoran. He lowered his head and glanced at Quan Dehui's body on the ground, then his eyes turned to her.

Pei Jiaoran sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his scarlet clothes spread on the ground, like scarlet flowers blooming at night. And her demeanor was calm, as if she was just a passerby who happened to pass by the killing scene, and everything that happened had nothing to do with her.

"Qingjia." Li Xiujing squatted beside her and called.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran opened his eyes and looked at him, "Are you injured?"

"A little injury doesn't matter." Li Xiujing glanced at the wound on her arm and raised her lips, "We have to go back."

Dozens of people were left to clean the battlefield and compile a list of the dead. The rest took Quan Dehui's body and returned to Heyang with Pei and Li. As for the state soldiers who followed Quan Dehui to cause trouble, they also left with them.

By the time Pei and Li returned to Heyang, the civil strife had subsided. According to the plan, Wu Lingjia invited all the informants in the county to sit down, and the rebels involved were imprisoned by He Liang. The people under the jurisdiction of Xiangting also came to the city under the leadership of the village elders to claim their families. As for the follow-up, they had to wait for the state government to come up with a plan before the village elders could arrange the follow-up matters.

When the two returned to the post house, they asked the postmaster to prepare hot water for bathing. Although there was chaos in Heyang tonight, luckily it was still within control and did not cause a major disaster. As for those people who should return home, the state government will provide them with corresponding compensation in the future.

Pei Jiaoran took off his blood-stained clothes and immersed his entire body in the water. He splashed the water on his face, raised his head and let the water droplets slide down his cheeks, dripping onto the water surface and creating ripples.

She was so tired. Although she counterattacked and eliminated Quan Dehui, it would not be so easy to solve the subsequent troubles. Now she just played out her card table, but how long can she play on it and to what extent. She didn't know.

Because it was summer, the water was not very hot and became cold after a while. Pei Jiaoran opened his eyes and stepped out of the bathtub, found some clothes and put them on. He walked out of the door with wet hair and walked to the room opposite.

Li Xiujing had just finished washing this car and didn't even have time to put on her undershirt. Hearing the sound of the door opening behind him, he hurriedly pulled the blanket to cover himself. When he turned around and saw Pei Jiaoran, he frowned and stopped talking.

But Pei Jiaoran looked him up and down and said lightly: "It's not like I haven't seen him before. Did you forget when you were in Guazhou?" He crossed his arms and raised his lips, "Your military doctor asked me to take care of you for one night, so Don’t be afraid anymore.”

Li Xiujing was stunned when he heard this, remembering Pei Jiaoran's past bad behavior. Take a deep breath and look at her without moving.

"Okay, I won't look at it. You quickly put on your clothes." After saying that, Pei Jiaoran turned around and faced the window, speaking in a low voice, "The wound on your arm hasn't been bandaged yet? How about I come?"

After listening to Pei Jiaoran's words, Li Xiujing made a move. He quickly put on the undershirt and trousers that he had put aside, and then pulled up the crotchless robe and put it on.

"Okay."

After gathering his clothes and sitting down, Pei Jiaoran looked at Li Xiujing and spread his palms in front of him.

"What to do?" Li Xiujing asked with a smile.

"Apply the medicine." Pei Jiaoran looked around, "Where is the medicine? Don't waste time."

When asked, Li Xiujing pointed to the low cabinet aside.

Seeing her come back with the medicine box, Li Xiujing looked her up and down, "Qingjia, can you really do it?"

Fortunately, he saw Pei Jiaoran's clumsy way of applying medicine. He really didn't believe that she knew how to apply medicine.

Ignoring Li Xiujing, Pei Jiaoran motioned for him to take off half of his sleeves to expose the injury. She picked up some ointment with her fingertips and applied it on his wound.

Looking at Pei Jiaoran who looked quite serious, Li Xiujing couldn't help but curl her lips. His eyes fell on her wet hair, and he picked up the hand towel beside him with his left hand and wiped her hair.

"Apply the medicine carefully and don't move anything." Pei Jiaoran tilted his head to avoid Li Xiujing's movements. He raised his head and glared at him, "Xuan Yin told me before that people should cherish themselves. Why did I forget it today?"

He pulled the cotton cloth and wrapped it around the wound on Li Xiujing's arm. Seeing that Li Xiujing ignored him, Pei Jiaoran snorted coldly. When it was wrapped around the last place, his hands suddenly tightened.

"Hey, Qingjia!" Li Xiujing blocked her hand and called.

Turning his eyes to Li Xiujing, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "I didn't do anything harsh. Xuanyin, why do you do this?"

Without answering her, Li Xiujing put on her clothes. He continued to pick up the hand towel on the side and wiped her wet hair.

The summer shirt was light and thin, and the other person's hot body temperature easily penetrated the fabric and pressed against her back. Pei Jiaoran pursed his lips and moved forward subconsciously.

Sensing Pei Jiaoran's movements, Li Xiujing put his arms around her waist. Even through her clothes, she could feel the heat of his blood. He wanted to pry the hand off his waist, but Li Xiujing grabbed it back and held it in his arms.

Li Xiujing's hair, which had been almost wiped, was pushed to one shoulder. A wet kiss fell on the side of her neck, and he kissed her skin greedily, as if he wanted to leave his breath on it.

He understood that his relationship with her was at best an ally, maintained only by profit. But he wanted more than just being her ally.

The clothes spread out, revealing a piece of snow, and the person was pressed onto the carpet by him. He lowered his head and pecked at the crimson calyx, intending to pull people into the trap he stepped on. However, those peach blossom eyes were always ruthless and tasteless, as if they had penetrated his thoughts. He knew this was her forcefulness, but he didn't care.

Li Xiujing gently pinched Pei Jiaoran's lips and teeth, looking for the soft tongue. Holding the back of her neck with one hand, the gasps escaped from her throat and dispersed in the summer wind.

He kissed her passionately, her breaths rising under his demands. The delicate kiss returned to her neck, revealing more and more jade.

"Qingjia, don't leave tonight." Li Xiujing raised his head and looked at Pei Jiaoran, catching a trace of a faint strange emotion in his misty eyes.

"Li Xiujing, have you considered the consequences?" Pei Jiaoran finally put his hand on Li Xiujing's chest, "Our Majesty is not a merciful Lord."

Looking at her, Li Xiujing suddenly smiled. He almost forgot that they were not ordinary men and women, and they could not indulge in love easily. The status of courtiers imposed on them will add a lot of obstacles.

Li Xiujing stopped moving. He didn't answer her, but he didn't let her go either. It seemed that he just wanted to hold her quietly like this.

After a busy day, Pei Jiaoran was already extremely tired. He simply let Li Xiujing hold him.

"Open the window, I'm hot." Pei Jiaoran whispered.

Hearing this, Li Xiujing hugged her and stood up. Go to the window and free your hands to push open the window. Xia Feng took the opportunity to pour in and stirred her hair.

"Qingjia, if there is a war in Heshuo and I have to go back to Chang'an, then you..." Li Xiujing said in her ear.
