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

Pei Jiaoran frowned as his memory was recalled. But Li Xiujing just smiled narrowly from the side.

That incident caused quite a stir in Chang'an. At that time, he and his friends were traveling in Qujiang Pool and happened to be lucky enough to witness this scene. The second-place finisher got drunk at the Qiongtai banquet. I happened to meet Pei Jiaoran on the road, and I felt unhappy when I remembered the reason why I was ranked second.

Then he took Pei Jiaoran to compete in making gifts. Whoever did it well would drive the carriage for ten days. Pei Jiaoran readily agreed, and in the end Pei Jiaoran came out on top. Everyone cheered and asked the man to drive the car, but Pei Jiaoran turned and left. So far, the two have become enemies. Now that Dugu Chen has recommended him, it shows what An's heart is.

"The governor is very happy?" Pei Jiaoran came back to his senses and looked at him, "I think it would be better for the governor to worry about whether he can keep his power."

Qingyue's voice echoed in the room. It's like tea being put into a cup, but it has been boiled for thousands of times. The fragrance of the tea has dissipated, leaving only a trace of bitterness that cannot be resolved, sinking at the bottom of the cup. However, despite being thirsty, one can't help but take a sip.

After Li Xiujing heard this, he made a cold sound. His eyes passed over Pei Jiaoran and landed on the lamp in the distance, then moved back again.

Pei Jiaoran had changed out of the light green round-necked robe he wore a few days ago. Today, Pei Jiaoran was wearing a moon-white round-necked robe, which is now fashionable for women. Her black hair was only tied on top of her head with a ribbon, and there were a few strands of hair on her temples. The belt around the waist has also been replaced with a cloth scarf of the same color, which makes the waist even more slender. Tall and slender, it looks like a long sword in the hands of a famous master. It has been forged into a jade-like body after being tempered for thousands of times.

Li Xiujing raised the corners of her lips slightly and groped under the pillow. He turned to look at Pei Jiaoran with a mysterious face. He opened his hand towards her, and a hosta lay quietly in his palm.

The texture of the jade hairpin is warm and moist, and there are no patterns on it. Only a sun-singing luan bird is carved on the head of the hairpin, with feather textures everywhere, meticulous and lifelike. At first glance, it looks like it was made by a famous artist.

"Is this hairpin important to you?" Li Xiujing looked at Pei Jiaoran with a smile.

Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and said, "It's a family heirloom."

"Then I found your family heirloom, how are you going to repay me?" Li Xiujing played with the hosta and looked at her sideways, "You can't cheat."

"What does the governor want?" Pei Jiaoran asked.

"You always call me governor, which sounds awkward. I am the second oldest child in my family. How about you call me Erlang in private? This shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

Looking at Li Xiujing with a suspicious expression, Pei Jiaoran reluctantly opened his lips and called Erlang.

Pei Jiaoran couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw Li Xiujing succeeding in his treacherous plan.

The goal was achieved, and Li Xiujing returned the hosta happily.

Pei Jiaoran stuffed the hosta into his sleeve and said slowly, "By the way. I took care of you overnight the day before yesterday. Remember to give me an extra salary next month."

"You will be rewarded for your meritorious service. But let's talk about joining the army first." Li Xiujing pointed to the tea table in the distance, with a rather bossy tone, and said to Pei Jiaoran: "Aren't you thirsty? Go and pour it. Here comes a cup of tea."

Guessing whether Li Xiujing's brain was damaged by illness, Pei Jiaoran looked at him for a long time. His expression was teasing, but his tone suggested that he could not be disobeyed. He stood up and walked over, pouring two cups of tea.

One cup per person.

Li Xiujing changed her posture and looked sideways at Pei Jiaoran. He took a letter from beside him and handed it over, "You take a look at it first."

He took the letter and opened it to read. Two thin pieces of paper were filled with the resume of Zhao Heng, the recorder who joined the army.

"Young rich from a humble family, you have a bright future." After folding the letter and putting it aside, Pei Jiaoran's tone was a little more contemptuous than usual.

Li Xiujing glanced at Pei Jiaoran and said, "You have seen his great political achievements. He was transferred from the Gaomi County magistrate to Guazhou to join the army. It was obviously a flat transfer, but it was actually a promotion. Whose path do you think he took? ?”

"That's not important. What's important is that this person is harder to deal with than you and I thought." Pei Jiaoran stood up and took a pen and paper from the desk. "With great political achievements, such a person should be extremely good at winning over people's hearts."

Looking at what Pei Jiaoran wrote, Li Xiujing clicked his tongue. He didn't know that she had such a good memory and could memorize everything after just reading it once.

In just half a moment, everything Zhao Heng did during his tenure was clearly written down. Halfway through writing, Pei Jiaoran's pen paused at a certain point and she narrowed her eyes.

"People always have weaknesses, and when there are weaknesses, there are flaws." Pei Jiaoran smiled as his fingertips ran across the purple bamboo pen barrel, "As the saying goes, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. Zhao Heng is not a saint. If he is so clean in his job, there must be something fishy in it."

"You mean Zhao Heng is just a target?" Li Xiujing raised his eyebrows.

Pei Jiaoran smiled sarcastically, "You can't say that. Zhao Heng was created by Jia Gonglu's party to show the poor family in the world, so what if he is from a poor family? He can still have a smooth career."

The tone suddenly dimmed at the end, and the light in his eyes also disappeared.

Pei Jiaoran lowered his eyes. She is judging Zhao Heng as a target here, so she was not a target in her previous life! It's just that my target path is too smooth. It goes too smoothly, but it hurts when you fall.

"You mean to let him take power temporarily."

"Hehe. Wouldn't it be nice to let him taste the sweetness first, and then give him a blow?" Pei Jiaoran's eyes turned slightly, making the bright red tear mole at the end of his right eye look quite vivid, "There is one more thing." She said Smiling lightly, "Dugu Chen cares about the baggage warehouse."

The fundamental purpose of her and Li Xiujing was to set fire to the envoy's palace and to hide the rest. That day, she thought about how to make Dugu Chen leave, and finally paid attention to the baggage warehouse.

In addition to storing luggage, the baggage warehouse of the envoy's government can also store money. But now most of the commanders have put all their money into the baggage treasury, and the original baggage has been distributed to each camp. So she told Li Xiujing to let Xi Zuo burn the heavy supplies.

A fire breaks out in the backyard before Dugu Chen can go back. Fortunately, she made the right move.

"Perhaps there is a gift from him to Chang'an in the baggage store."

After listening to Li Xiujing's words, the two of them smiled tacitly.

There was the sound of drums coming from the window, and Pei Jiaoran turned his head to look at the drums in the room.

"It's the third watch. I won't disturb your rest. Please take my leave."

"Dugu Chen has been in your yard for a few days, can you still sleep?" Li Xiujing raised an eyebrow at her.

"Throw away everything that needs to be thrown away. Bi Fei should have cleaned everything up." Pei Jiaoran said with a smile on his lips, "If it doesn't work out, I'll just sleep in the government office."

Grabbing the hem of her clothes, Li Xiujing smiled, "But you killed someone there, and there was blood."

"Didn't Erlang sleep outside with his arms in the arms?" He carefully pulled his sleeve out of Li Xiujing's hands, "There's nothing to be afraid of when you see blood. Are you afraid of ghosts?"

The deliberately prolonged ending was full of teasing.

"How is that possible!" Li Xiujing retorted.

With a thoughtful glance at Li Xiujing, Pei Jiaoran raised her lips and waved her sleeves to leave.
