In addition to Lu Zheng, there were twenty other Jinwu guards accompanying him. Lu Zheng divided eight people to escort the two privy envoys back, and he took the remaining twelve people to Dongwei Bridge with Pei Jiaoran.

Xianyang is still some distance away from Dongwei Bridge.

Seeing Pei Jiaoran riding a horse with a leisurely look on his face, he seemed to have completely forgotten what happened just now. After thinking for a long time, Lu Zheng couldn't help but urge his horse forward.

"Er Niang, why did you stop me just now? He dared to insult you like that, I really can't bear it." Lu Zheng said angrily.

Shaking his head, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and said, "Those who have thunder in their chests and faces as flat as a lake can be worshiped as generals. The angrier I am, the more I fall into his trap. On the contrary, the calmer I am, the less he knows what I want to do." "

What's more... after today, Qin Huaiyi will probably not be able to bear it anymore. With his thoughts at this point, Pei Jiaoran's eyes smiled even more.

Pei Jiaoran and Lu Zheng went on the same journey. After three days of traveling, the group finally arrived near Dongwei Bridge.

It was getting dark at this time, and Pei Jiaoran was not in a hurry. Everyone was asked to go to the nearest county town and find an inn to rest. Wait until early tomorrow morning before heading to Dongweiqiao.

Stay until dawn and eat the morning meal. Lu Zheng took Jinwu Guard to find Shence Army first, while Pei Jiaoran went to Weiqiaocang.

Inside the Shence camp. Li Xiujing was standing in front of the mirror, looking at the arrow wound on his shoulder and curling his lips. I have to say that my injury came at a really good time. This way he had reason to keep Pei Jiaoran for a few more days.

"General, we are here. But..." Feng Yuanxian came in from the door and said with a look of gloating.

"But what?"

Feng Yuanxian sighed, "But Pei Shangshu didn't come. Instead, Lu Zheng came and was at the gate of the camp. What do you think we should do?"

Hearing this, Li Xiujing put on her clothes quickly and walked out calmly. The closer he got to the camp gate, the heavier the dissatisfaction in his eyes became. The two of them had actually known each other since they were young. They were studying at the Hongwen Hall together, so naturally they had fought. But after he gave up his family's favor and joined the Shence Army, the two never met. Even in Chang'an before, the number of times we met was only handful.

"General Lu has worked hard all the way. The food from the Jianghuai River will be transported to Chang'an soon. I'm afraid General Lu will be very busy." Li Xiujing smiled slightly, "Why don't you take a rest at the Shence Camp first? We can build it ourselves later. It’s not too late to build a camp.”

When he said this, Li Xiujing couldn't help but glance at Lu Zheng. He smelled the vague scent of Xun Ling Shili Xiang on the other party. So much so that when he spoke, although there was a smile on his face, there was no trace of smile in his eyes.

Hearing this, Lu Zheng cupped his hands and said, "General Li, you're welcome. Lu still has to go to Weiqiao Cang to pick up Pei Shangshu. When she comes, it won't be too late to consider where to rest."

"She is in Weiqiaocang?" Li Xiujing frowned.

Lu Zheng looked around and nodded, "Yes. Pei Shangshu ordered someone to come here to inform General Li that she is waiting for me at Weiqiao Cang."

Hearing this, Li Xiujing narrowed his eyes. Pei Jiaoran asked Lu Zheng to come with her, but this guy still showed off his power in front of her, which was really abominable. However, Li Xiujing still looked as usual, "It's really hard for General Lu to travel all the way. It's better to go to welcome... Pei Shangshu."

Lu Zheng shook his head, "General Li also has important matters in the army. What's more, His Majesty ordered me to protect Pei Shangshu, so I'd better go."

Seeing Lu Zheng's desolate look, Li Xiujing resisted the idea of ​​beating him up. Too lazy to talk to him anymore, he turned around and walked back into the camp.

Just when Lu Zheng was confused, Li Xiujing and Feng Yuanxian had already rode to Lu Zheng's side.

"There's nothing going on in the camp, so I'd better go there myself so as not to be rude to Pei Shangshu." After saying that, Li Xiujing looked at Feng Yuanxian and said, "You can lead the way for General Lu."

As soon as he finished speaking, he had already whipped up his whip and rode away.

Pei Jiaoran had just come out of the Weiqiao warehouse and was talking to the warehouse supervisor. Suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves coming from far away, and she couldn't see who it was under the smoke. He turned around and winked at the warehouse manager, signaling him to go back first.

As soon as the warehouse supervisor entered, the sound of horse hooves also slowed down. The smoke and dust dissipated, and Li Xiujing, wrapped in black fur clothes, was seen galloping towards her, then stopped not far away, turned over and dismounted.

Squinting at Li Xiujing, who was walking towards him step by step, Pei Jiaoran stroked his fur coat and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Can't I come in person?" Li Xiujing smiled and held her hand in his arms, "Let's go back. They hunted a deer yesterday, and we will roast the deer meat later."

"Who wants to eat venison? It's very fishy." Pei Jiaoran said with a look of disgust.

Li Xiujing had a smile on her face as usual, "My roasted venison tastes better than others."

"Someone is coming." Pei Jiaoran said silently and immediately withdrew his hand.

Hearing this, Li Xiujing turned his head angrily and saw Feng Yuanxian and Lu Zheng rushing over. There was a bit of impatience in their eyes, and they exchanged greetings. Li Xiujing didn't want Lu Zheng to get in the way here, so he kept glancing at Pei Jiaoran from the corner of his eye.

"Pei Shangshu, where should we build the fortress?" Lu Zheng asked, then looked at Li Xiujing, "It is not good to live in the Shence fortress. After all, our mission on this trip is extremely heavy."

Hearing Lu Zheng's words, Li Xiujing glared over. Of course it's not good for them to move in. Pei Jiaoran alone is enough. His tent is big enough to accommodate one person.

Li Xiujing coughed lightly and walked forward slowly. In just two or three steps, he stood between Pei Jiaoran and Lu Zheng. With a smile on his face, he said, "I remember that there is an open space near the Shence Camp, which can be used to build a camp. General Lu can probably camp here." Then he said to Feng Yuanxian with a serious face: "Yuanxian will leave this matter to us. Here you go. The general has important matters that I need to discuss with Pei Shangshu."

After looking at Li Xiujing amusedly, Pei Jiaoran quickly got on his horse. Leaving him alone, he raised his whip and ran forward.

Seeing her leaving, Li Xiujing quickly chased after her.

The two entered the camp together.

As soon as Pei Jiaoran stepped into the tent, he was hugged from behind by Li Xiujing who followed him in.

There was a deep sense of longing in the deep voice, "Jiajia, I miss you."

A little farewell is better than a wedding. He hasn't seen her for more than half a month.

"I know." Pei Jiaoran responded with his head tilted. He stretched out his hand to loosen the hand around his waist, but heard Li Xiujing's hissing sound coming from his ears.

"Jiajia, be gentle, I'm injured." After saying that, Li Xiujing let go of her. He pulled her aside and sat down, pointing to his shoulder, "Han Min came to attack Dongwei Bridge a few days ago. We won, but I accidentally got an arrow."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran licked his lips and said, "Oh? So you are looking for me despite your injuries? Li Xiujing, could it be that you have been sick in Qingyuan for a long time, and you are becoming more and more stupid. You can do this kind of thing."

"Aren't I anxious to see you?" Li Xiujing smiled, "I was running so fast just now, I'm afraid the wound may have opened again. How about Jiajia give me some medicine?"

"I don't know how." Pei Jiaoran turned his head and stopped looking at Li Xiujing.

The sound of rustling clothing material came. Pei Jiaoran looked back and saw Li Xiujing undressing himself, revealing his injured arm.

"Xuan Yin, what does this mean?"

"Sun Ce suffered a facial injury and eventually died at the hands of a noble family. Jiajia must not have been able to bear it, and I will follow in his footsteps." After saying that, Li Xiujing handed over the ointment, "Besides..."

Before he finished speaking, Pei Jiaoran suddenly reached out and slapped Li Xiujing hard on the chest. In pain, he shut up in cooperation. Let Pei Jiaoran take off the bandage and change his dressing.

Pei Jiaoran's method of applying medicine was unorganized. Li Xiujing was obviously in great pain, but he still looked at her as if nothing had happened.

He wrapped the bandage hastily. Pei Jiaoran's eyes fell on Li Xiujing's open skirt and raised his lips playfully. Her fingers landed on Li Xiujing's raised Adam's apple and slid down a little. Finally it stopped on his chest.

Under her gaze, Li Xiujing's Adam's apple couldn't help but roll. He felt like he was going to burn up, but his reason told him. Her eyes were full of smiles, and she obviously had evil intentions. If I really let her do this, I guarantee that I will suffer the consequences. He reached out and took hold of her misbehaving hand, taking it away from his body.

"Hey Jiajia, don't make trouble. We'll talk about it tonight." Li Xiujing said with a righteous expression.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran curled his lips, his eyes full of deep meaning.

"Jiajia, take a rest first. I'll call you when the banquet starts."
