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

Looking at Zhou Sui riding ahead, Li Xiujing frowned and sighed. As expected, Pei Jiaoran was very good at persuading people. With such a person as the mastermind, everything can be done with half the effort.

After thinking about it, the two of them had arrived in front of Wang Baozhen's camp. Li Xiujing rushed forward to explain his intention to the sergeant at the door. The sergeant was polite and asked the two of them to wait outside the camp. Then he went in and reported to the general.

Not long after, the sergeant returned. Then he invited the two of them in.

In the camp, Wang Baozhen was reading the newspaper. Hearing the movement at the door, he said calmly: "Is Zhou Shuai here to investigate?"

"General Wang misunderstood. I came here this time to have a good talk with you Baozhen." Zhou Sui glanced at Li Xiujing and said: "In the past, I was really forced to do so. Now the rebel coalition is eyeing us. , if you and I continue to have differences based on our previous personal grudges, wouldn’t we be betraying His Majesty’s hard work?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Sui bowed to Wang Baozhen.

As if he didn't expect Zhou Sui to do this, Wang Baozhen stood up to stop him, then bowed his hands and saluted, "Commander Zhou doesn't have to be like this."

Li Xiujing on the side looked at Wang Baozhen and then at Zhou Sui, who had a humble attitude. He thought to himself: "These two people are really strange. They were still hostile to each other before, but Zhou Sui can shake hands and make peace as soon as he lowers his status."

Seeing that the two finally turned their hostility into friendship, Li Xiujing breathed a sigh of relief. The enemy is facing a formidable enemy, and they must deal with it unanimously.

He was concerned that there was still a war going on, and the officers and soldiers had not won a victory in the past few days. The banquet hosted by Zhou Sui only invited high-ranking generals in the army and eunuchs sent by Chang'an.

At the banquet, everyone drank and talked happily. After the food had passed three rounds and the wine had passed the five flavors, everyone left.

"General Lee, stay."

Hearing this, Li Xiujing turned around and saw the eunuch, "What does Zhu Naiguan have to do with you?"

"Lieutenant Liu asked Nu to say something. Now Zuozang is in the hands of the inner treasury again, and Lieutenant Cao intends to get involved in Huiyi. You'd better think of a way to help Governor Pei return to the center." The chamberlain stepped forward and lowered his voice: "Otherwise it will all be in vain."

"I know." Li Xiujing said calmly.

As soon as he returned to his camp, Li Xiujing wrote a letter to Pei Jiaoran. He believed she was more desperate than anyone to get back to the Center.

By the time the letter was delivered to Pei Jiaoran, it was already March. Zhao Mingluan and other ladies who had returned home for the Chinese New Year also returned to the state capital one after another.

Rubbing the white deer paper in his hand, Pei Jiaoran tapped the table with his fingers. Although she expected that Zuozang would be embezzled by the inner treasury again, she would let them continue to do so. Not only will the battle in Heshuo not go on, I'm afraid trouble will happen in other places as well.

It's just that if she wants to return to the center now, she needs a reasonable opportunity. The road on Jia Gonglu's side is not feasible, and it is even less feasible on Wang Yu's side.

Then only the Wuchangli road is feasible.

However, the governor was not allowed to leave the area without permission, so she had to wait a little longer.

Throw the letter into the incense burner and burn it. Pei Jiaoran touched his lips.

Some things need to be figured out slowly.

Spring has come and the busy farming season has come again. Under the leadership of Pei Jiaoran, Feng Xu's people held spring festivals in the fields and whipped mud cows. Pray for good weather and a good harvest in the coming year.

The spring festival is over. Pei Jiaoran took state officials, Dang Chenghong and others for a stroll on the field ridge.

"Congratulations to Commander Pei on your new law." Dang Chenghong said with a smile.

"The success of the new method cannot be achieved without your help." Pei Jiaoran tilted his head and looked at Dang Chenghong meaningfully, "Naturally, the reward given by Your Majesty in the future will be indispensable for Dang Gong."

There was nothing but force between her and these people. More still, everyone gets what they need. She has been in Tongzhou for almost a year, and with Dang Chenghong's help, she has indeed saved a lot of trouble.

Dang Chenghong cupped his hand and said, "I beg you to be polite. I have made great achievements in Tongzhou. I'm afraid it won't be long before you can pay homage to the Prime Minister. By then I will definitely come to your door to ask for a drink."

"Dang Lao, please don't say that. Pei is still young, how can he take on the important responsibility of the prime minister." Pei Jiaoran waved his hand.

It's not that she doesn't want to be the prime minister, but it's not a good time to do so right now. If you worship the prime minister at this time, if you are not careful, you will be completely kicked out of the political situation.

Ascending to a high position is not something you can just go in casually and reach the end safely like in the book. The prime minister also has real power and imaginary power.

Today, there are eight central officials with the title of prime minister. However, among these eight, only Jia Gonglu and Wang Hui truly have the right to speak and matter. The other people acted based on their expressions.

"Pei Shijun is so humble." Dang Chenghong said with a smile.

Seeing Dang Chenghong like this, Pei Jiaoran also smiled.

Several people walked near the field ridge for a long time, but Dang Chenghong finally left first, citing his old age and being impatient. The conversation ended.

A gust of wind blew by, and the petals of a pear tree in the distance were falling like snow. Pei Jiaoran put her hands behind her hands and looked into the distance, looking at the people farming in the fields, and she chuckled. Her new laws were already working well here, she just had to wait for the results. These vacant lands will eventually be controlled by the people, and she will be able to get everything she wants.

"Your Majesty, why are you standing here in a daze?" Pang Xiyin jumped out from the side, held her arm and said: "We have a wedding banquet, so I sent you. Come with me quickly."

Let Pang Xiyin pull him to the green grassy land in the distance. Looking from a distance, you can see various colorful skirts swaying gently in the wind, which is very interesting.

"Look, who I brought here." Pang Xiyin said softly.

Upon hearing this, several ladies put down their wine glasses, surrounded Pei Jiaoran, hugged her forward, and then pulled her to sit down.

"Why did you remember to hold a banquet for me?" Pei Jiaoran asked with a smile while taking a sip of wine.

"I haven't seen you looking so sad these days. Let's have a small banquet together." Zhou Mancao poured more wine into her cup, "Ms. Bi Fei said you were worried about the war in Heshuo. .Need to relax.”

Pei Jiaoran raised his lips while looking at the wine in the cup. Although she was also worried about the war in Heshuo, she was more eager to return to the center.

Looking at Pei Jiaoran, Zhao Mingluan said: "What difficulties do you have, please tell us?"

Pei Jiaoran shook his head when asked. Her difficulty is that she cannot control the situation in the center, and she cannot tell others about these things.

After thinking for a while, Pei Jiaoran said, "Nothing. Didn't we agree to hold a banquet today to let me relax? Why are you talking about government affairs after all? If we talk about it again, I will punish you with alcohol."

When the wine started to get drunk, the ladies came out one after another to play Cuju and Tou Hu. Pei Jiaoran was the only one left sitting at the table.

The ladies are very skilled and can throw the pot very accurately.

"I would like to take a few days off with you." Zhou Mancao walked to Pei Jiaoran and said in a gentle tone, "It's near the Qingming Festival and I want to pay homage to my family."

"You can go ahead. But I'm afraid I have to go with you. Chang'an happens to have some things to deal with." Pei Jiaoran smiled.

Originally, she was still thinking about why she wanted to go back. Zhou Mancao's words reminded her that she could leave Tongzhou for a few days in the name of paying homage to her ancestors during the Qingming Festival.
