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

Although this battle was fought happily, it also exposed many shortcomings of the official army. As the commander-in-chief of this army, Zhou Sui did not get along with Wang Baozhen, the military governor of Zhaoyi. The two often had disputes, which led to Tian Min's retreat several times.

He once asked privately about the reason for the feud between the two. The reason was actually just because Wang Baozhen wanted to kill the governor of Huaizhou, but he fled to Zhou Sui's command and sought asylum. Zhou Sui accepted the governorship of Huaizhou and claimed that he was innocent. Wang Baozhen resented him because of this.

Originally, this was not a big deal, but Wang Baozhen has always remembered it over the years. Until this time when the imperial court sent troops to quell the rebellion, the two often had disputes.

With his thoughts at this point, Li Xiujing sighed. Although they defeated the Wei Bo rebels this time, they still could not slack off. After all, Wei Bo's main force has not yet been dispatched, and Chengde and Ziqing Towns don't know what is going on.

If these three towns were allowed to work together to counterattack, even the government troops would be unable to fight. In a head-on confrontation, I'm afraid there is no chance of winning.

But the only good news is that there is temporary civil strife in Chengde Town. They had no time to pay attention to Wei Bo's battle situation for the time being. Cheng De was also restrained by Dugu Bo, and now he is unable to do anything else.

But no one knows what Tian Min thinks. If Tian Min integrated his troops to counterattack, it would be of no benefit to the official army.

While I was thinking about it, it was already dark. After listening to the intelligence soldier's report, Li Xiujing sighed. He ordered his subordinate Shence Army to take turns to rest on the spot and wait for dawn before setting off to return.

Feng Yuanxian on the side looked around and said in a deep voice: "General, what are we doing here?"

Li Xiujing glanced at the sky and said, "There's no hurry."

"General, are you worried that Tian Min will lead his troops back?"

"No."

"what……?"

Ignoring Feng Yuanxian anymore, Li Xiujing sat cross-legged. He stuffed a few mouthfuls of dry food into his mouth and drank a few gulps of water. Take off the forehead wiper from the fu head and tie it around the wrist. Tie your hair up again.

Looking at the forehead wipe in his hand, Li Xiujing suddenly laughed.

"It would be nice if she was here." Li Xiujing murmured.

On the side, the clerk sent by Zhou Sui to accompany the army looked at Li Xiujing, who was tall and handsome. He looked at the fat ring on his body again, "It's better to be young. When a certain general was as young as the general, he was also tall and tall. There are many women who are attracted to me. Hey, speaking of whether the general is married, I do have one in my family. A niece, about the same age as the general."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Liang, who was drinking water next to him, sprayed saliva on his face, and then said: "Brother Yuan, don't be ridiculous."

The clerk, who was called Brother Yuan, wiped away the water stains on his face. Looking at Li Xiujing, he spoke again, "General Li, I seriously want to marry your family. My niece is the wife of the Yuan family in Runan, and she is a good match for the general. General, do you really not think about it?"

The first time he saw Li Xiujing, he fell in love with him. I thought that if I could get married to this person, it would be of great help to General Yuan's entry into the imperial court.

"What are you considering?" Li Xiujing took a mouthful of dry food and continued to ask.

"Getting married." Yuan Wenwen continued. He had already inquired and found out that General Li was not married. If my niece gets married, she will definitely be the wife of the wife. Seeing that Li Xiujing was silent, he said: "Is it possible that the general has another beauty he likes? If so, it is not impossible to accept her again in the future."

Li Xiujing glanced at the rising sun rising from the horizon and couldn't help but roll her eyes. Not to mention that he didn't even know who Mrs. Yuan was, so he was dragged into matchmaking. Besides, he wouldn't take Pei Jiaoran to be his concubine just because he liked her. In contrast, he would rather be her pillow person. Anyway, he doesn't care that much about the so-called status.

He swallowed the food, looked at Yuan Wenwen with vigilant eyes, and said coldly: "I already have my heart set on something, and I have no intention of being interested in Madam Yuan. Why should Brother Yuan sacrifice the happiness of his niece for the sake of the future of the family? I think?" If you want your family to prosper, why not follow Pei Qingjia's example and gain fame as a woman and become an official, which can also make your family rise to the top."

Hearing his words, Yuan Wenwen couldn't help but narrow his eyes, "Pei Qingjia? But the female champion who betrayed the lord and defected to Jia Gonglu's family. I heard that she was extremely capable, but her betrayal of the lord would inevitably come true." After saying that, he looked at Li Xiu Jing, "But the general's words are reasonable, and they are not impossible to imitate."

Glancing at him, Li Xiujing turned her head. He suddenly missed Pei Jiaoran.

I heard that after the incident in Tongzhou, Lu Zheng and Yuan Yanchong had left. This made him feel more at ease.

He Liang, who was standing by, saw this and came over, "General, why are you being watched by others? If Mrs. Pei were here, wouldn't she think that you were messing around again?"

After taking a hard bite of the dry food, Li Xiujing closed her eyes and said angrily: "Shut up."

Pei Jiaoran, who was far away in Tongzhou, couldn't help but sneeze.

Pei Jiaoran took out a thin cloak from the box and looked at himself in the mirror. Today's autumn is much cooler than before. I felt a chill coming towards my face early in the morning. Since Wu Lingjia left, she has also become busy and often has to stay up very late in the state capital before going back.

"Girl, would you like the kitchen to cook you a bowl of ginger soup?" Bi Fei put away the cloak for Pei Jiaoran, "I think you probably go out early and come back late, so you don't know if you are cold."

When Pei Jiaoran nodded, she also felt that Bi Fei's words made sense. Then he asked his servant to go to the kitchen to boil a pot of ginger soup and distribute it to various places in the state capital. The state's fortifications also prepared ginger soup to prevent the people from getting cold and insufficient manpower, which would delay the progress of the fortifications.

She sat on the stone steps and sipped ginger soup. Little did she know that someone was missing her by the Huan River thousands of miles away. He murmured her name silently.

While slowly drinking ginger soup, Pei Jiaoran squinted at the autumn sun in the sky.

"Prince Pei, Li Sikong from Chang'an is here. He invites you to come over." The servant reported.

After drinking the ginger soup, Pei Jiaoran took a deep breath. After smoothing out the wrinkles on her clothes and making sure her appearance was correct, she walked to the front yard.

Li Sikong was already waiting inside the house. After sneezing several times outside, Pei Jiaoran took off his boots slowly.

He bowed with a gentle expression, and then consciously knelt in front of the case. Putting his hand on the case, he raised his head and looked at Li Sikong calmly.

This was not the first time she had seen Li Sikong, but it was the first time she had been alone with him.

"I wonder why Li Sikong is here." Pei Jiaoran asked with a calm smile.

When asked, Li Sikong looked at her. She was calm and leisurely, and the purple robe was very suitable for her.

"I came here under the emperor's order to inspect the effect of Tongzhou's new policy."

After thinking for a while, Pei Jiaoran ordered his servants to get the account books of Zhoushe.

While the servant went to get the account book, Li Sikong looked at Pei Jiaoran again, with admiration in his eyes. He had seen her way of doing things and admired her courage.

"I wonder if anyone ever gave Pei Jun Qiongju?"
