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

It was not a serious banquet to begin with, so everyone sat very casually. Li Xiujing pulled Pei Jiaoran to sit with him, and then sent Feng Yuanxian to greet Lu Zheng.

Even if he doesn't like Lu Zheng, he still has to give him the face he deserves. After all, Xu Mian has made great achievements this time, and Jin Wuwei's status will be promoted as a result. Pei Jiaoran is about to enter the center, and Nanya is strong, which can also add support to her. So he was still happy to give this face.

The banquet is not a banquet, plus we have to beware of rebels attacking the camp at night. So there was no wine. Therefore, when the food was served for three rounds, the sergeants shouted at each other and played with each other.

The fight on the field was in full swing. Li Xiujing enthusiastically divided the venison with a silver knife. After dividing the venison, he picked up a piece with chopsticks and handed it to Pei Jiaoran's mouth.

"Jiajia, try my craftsmanship."

Looking at Li Xiujing suspiciously, Pei Jiaoran opened his lips and took a bite of the deer meat.

The entrance didn't have as strong a fishy smell as expected, only a slight smell that was within the range of her tolerance. The key is that it is very fresh and tender, accompanied by the taste of marinade. Pei Jiaoran realized that his index finger was moving and he moved his chopsticks on his own.

Seeing that Li Xiujing didn't move his chopsticks, Pei Jiaoran frowned. Suddenly he smiled and said, "Why doesn't Xuanyin eat?"

"I……"

"Are you afraid..." Pei Jiaoran blinked, his eyes twitching, "I can't control myself?"

Li Xiujing was shocked when he heard this. He considered himself prudent and had never considered matters between men and women before. But when he met Pei Jiaoran again in Guazhou after returning from the fight, he had other thoughts about her. But reason restrained him. He loves her and values ​​her, so naturally he won't force her on that kind of thing. Love and desire are two different things. Love comes from the heart, while desire comes more from the fit and desire of the body.

But after that day, he wanted more. Things that could be restrained in the past are no longer so easy to restrain. He wanted all the love and desire to remain in the two of them, not just a physical outlet.

"What if I eat it and make too much noise at night?" Li Xiujing smiled, "You have cold hands and often have trouble sleeping. You can eat more. But don't eat after eating these."

Hearing the teasing meaning of Li Xiujing's last sentence, Pei Jiaoran narrowed his eyes and said, "Xuan Yin's skills are rusty anyway, so he won't be able to make much noise even if he thinks about it. Why don't you give it a try? You've received a lot before..."

Li Xiujing's face suddenly darkened. It's okay if she doesn't mention it, but he feels ashamed when she mentions it. Since she said he was unfamiliar with his skills last time, he read the book Lieutenant Liu gave him. So much so that Bu Heliang bumped into him and laughed at him crazily several times.

With a cold snort, Li Xiujing took a bite of the venison. Chew vigorously.

"Although venison is delicious, it is not half as good as Jiajia." Li Xiujing said next to Pei Jiaoran's ear.

"That's it." Pei Jiaoran yawned, "But what if I suddenly want to change my taste?"

With a dangerous look on her, Li Xiujing's hand also touched her waist and pinched her hard. Pei Jiaoran instantly sat up straight and stared at him.

Not to be outdone, Li Xiujing stared back with an innocent look on her face.

"Don't I taste good?" Seeing that Pei Jiaoran didn't speak, Li Xiujing leaned against her ear.

He pecked her ear gently with a proud look on his face, his hot breath lingering on the side of her neck. The chaotic figures on the field blocked the sight of all parties. Li Xiujing also became careless, and people came closer and closer.

Being pushed by Li Xiujing, Pei Jiaoran's thigh accidentally hit the table.

In pain, Pei Jiaoran said angrily: "Li Xiujing! Get out of the way."

When she said this, Lu Zheng, who was not far away, looked over.

Sensing that someone was looking at him, Pei Jiaoran said, "Lu Zheng is looking at me."

After hearing this, Li Xiujing let her go and helped her get up in a gentle manner. When the two people who were at each other's side moved in his direction, they calmly picked up Pei Jiaoran and walked towards his tent.

After entering the account, Li Xiujing carefully placed Pei Jiaoran on the couch. He turned around, took out the ointment, and said softly: "It's my fault. I'll apply the medicine for you first."

With a cold snort, Pei Jiaoran took off his boots and socks. He lifted up his trouser legs to reveal the place where he had bumped into the table. Under the candlelight, his skin was like jade and shrouded in a layer of ethereal light.

Li Xiujing's fingertips were thin and calloused, and his movements were gentle. He dipped his fingers into the ointment and applied it evenly on the injured area, which actually caused a numb and shuddering feeling.

Pei Jiaoran smiled, his bright eyes full of light and shadow. Her legs were originally resting on Li Xiujing's knees, so she moved them slightly. There was still a gentle smile on his face, and his peach blossom eyes were full of clouds and rain.

"Don't move." Li Xiujing held the crook of her leg and tried to move her leg away.

However, the next moment, a sneer sounded in his ears. The instep of her feet was slightly arched, and her toes gently brushed between Li Xiujing's legs. Li Xiujing immediately tensed up, gritted his teeth and looked up. With firm eyes, Pei Jiaoran moved his legs away from himself.

Looking at Li Xiujing as if he was amused, the mist in Pei Jiaoran's eyes dissipated, revealing a fox-like cunningness.

"Pei Qingjia!" Li Xiujing took a breath and said with a stern face.

"What to do? I think, Xuanyin, you should go out and show your face. By the way, help me talk to Lu Zheng. I have to stay here tonight. I will discuss important matters with you."

Hearing this, Li Xiujing snorted coldly, stood up and left the tent.

Taking advantage of the fact that she was the only one in the tent, Pei Jiaoran quickly changed her clothes. He drank water from the basin nearby, washed himself, and lay on his back on the camp bed.

The sound of curtains moving was heard, and Pei Jiaoran turned his head to look at Li Xiujing who came in through the screen. The clothes she changed were casually placed on the screen, the belt swaying slightly. Under the bright candlelight, Li Xiujing's eyes also fell on her through the screen.

Pei Jiaoran raised his eyebrows and moved a little further. Then he turned over, facing away from Li Xiujing. This approach will give her a sense of security without being exposed to the eyes of others.

The bright moonlight penetrated into the house through the tent. Pei Jiaoran reached out and touched the tent cloth, and felt the expected roughness. She knew he had his plans and saw his tyranny. She could even tell that he wanted more than that.

But so what? She could clearly see his request and respond to his request. It's just that she is a political animal with a little bit of sentimentality, and her pursuit and desire for power have long been instinctive. Therefore, love has become less important to her. The current response to his feelings is more or less political.

After all, she had used him a lot, and if she couldn't repay him in time, she might be in trouble.

Pei Jiaoran's thoughts wandered to nowhere. He didn't even know that he was already under Li Xiujing's sight.

"Is it cold?" Li Xiujing lay on her back and asked in a low voice.

After hearing this, Pei Jiaoran turned around, and his hair happened to brush from Li Xiujing's arm. Seeing her turn around, he lowered his head and came closer to her. Place a gentle kiss on her forehead.

Pei Jiaoran reached out and touched the stubble on Li Xiujing's chin, "Don't you ask me why you came?"

"I'm not stupid. You came to Dongweiqiao suddenly because the batch of grain sent by Zhenhai is about to arrive." Li Xiujing raised his head and let her touch his chin, "You have already been to Weiqiao warehouse. You should. Do you know what the situation is?"

Pei Jiaoran nodded slowly but did not speak. Weiqiao warehouse originally stored 100,000 shi of grain, but now only 5,000 shi is left. According to the warehouse supervisor, almost all of it was squandered by Qin Huaiyi. She couldn't prove whether this was true or false, and naturally she couldn't go to Qin Huaiyi to get it back.

However, this batch of food from Modong Weiqiao was crucial to her and the center, so she naturally had to do her best to protect it.

Pei Jiaoran didn't say anything. Li Xiujing stood up and lay on his side, supporting his head with his hands and looking at her, "Jiajia, since you are here. I would like to ask you to be my military envoy."

Pei Jiaoran licked his lips and said coldly, "Envoy to the army? Xuanyin, are you going to send me away with such a low-level official?"

"Too small? Then how big do you want it to be?" Li Xiujing asked with a smile, "I have quite a few, what do you want?"

"Huh?" Pei Jiaoran glanced at him and frowned. He came back to his senses in an instant and scanned him up and down. Fingers caressing the bracelet on his wrist, "Everyone knows that the phoenix is ​​in the harp, and the sword is hidden in the scabbard. Swords can be divided into soft swords and hard swords, and they must be placed in a suitable sheath. If it doesn't fit, then just He is a fish swimming in the cauldron and cannot be contented."

Listening to Pei Jiaoran's words, Li Xiu and Jing's face instantly darkened. She was the only one who could talk about tigers and wolves without changing her face, and at the same time, she didn't forget to belittle herself.

Pei Jiaoran smiled when he caught a glimpse of Li Xiujing's gaze. She kicked him quietly and used her strength to move inside. The wide sleeves of the robe cover the face, hiding the narrowness of the face. It's really boring for such a big person to insist on the size of something.

The muffled laughter reached his ears, and Li Xiujing choked lightly. His eyes fell on her neck, and he suddenly pressed close to her, wrapping his hands around her waist. The scorching body temperature spreads along the limbs and bones.

"Stay away from me, hot." Pei Jiaoran said leisurely.

Is it hot when the spring cold is steep? It's just talking nonsense.

After letting out a low laugh, Li Xiujing had no intention of letting go of her. Instead, he pressed close to her. Sensing the subtle changes in the other party's body, Pei Jiaoran simply closed his eyes and fell asleep, refusing to give him even a chance.

Neither of them slept well that night.
