Staring at Pei Jiaoran who smiled kindly, Dugu Xiu looked away. Looking around, I found myself in a dark room. It was quiet now.

"Oh. This is the press room of the Yushitai." Pei Jiaoran gathered his clothes and sat down, "Don't worry, no one knows we are here."

It seems that Pei Jiaoran unexpectedly transferred him to the palace. Dugu Xiu was stunned and looked at her in surprise. He was trapped in an unknown situation and didn't know everything. Including what kind of attitude Aye has now.

Catching the confusion in Dugu Xiu's eyes, Pei Jiaoran gave him a meaningful look. He kindly placed a pot of water where Dugu Xiu could reach it. Then he turned around and walked out the door.

As soon as he went out, Feng Yuanxian greeted him. Similar to what Pei Jiaoran said before, many people do dislike Yushitai. Therefore, except for a few garrison troops, no one else wanted to come here. And Dugujun's court did not place officials on duty here.

As soon as he sneaked into the palace city, he knocked down the guard at the gate of Yushitai. And the password quickly came out of their mouths. Pei Jiaoran asked Feng Yuanxian to arrange for someone to replace the original guard and guard at the entrance of the Yushitai.

Under the moonlight, Pei Jiaoran's black robe was dancing gently in the wind. She raised her head and glanced at the row of trees on the Yushitai, as if she was looking elsewhere through the shadows of the trees.

The Li Zheng Palace is located on the west side of Tai Chi Palace. It was the residence of the kings of the Wei Dynasty. After Dugujun occupied Chang'an, he also designated this place as his residence, and often summoned officials to discuss matters here.

At this time, the palace door was closed, but there were many armored sergeants waiting outside the palace. They are all Youzhou soldiers who have followed Dugujun countless times through life and death, and they are all his direct descendants. They had just withdrawn from the battlefield at Guangtaimen when they were summoned here.

Dugujun in the palace looked at the courtiers in front of him with a cold expression. Pei Jiaoran sneaked into the city and sneaked into Li Sikong's house without telling him. Now he actually took his eldest son as a hostage. He didn't know what the situation was now, and he didn't dare to attack rashly. But he didn't want Pei Jiaoran to get his wish easily.

The half-moonlight leaked into the hall through the gap between the windows, making the hall filled with frost. Dugujun stood up and walked down from the throne, slowly walking through the crowd. The eyes of everyone who followed him followed his steps. There seemed to be a beast with sharp teeth lying on his body, its scarlet teeth already exposed, staring at him greedily.

Dugujun looked a little solemn. He didn't forget how he met Pei Jiaoran that day, nor what she said. He pities her talent and wants to take her as his own. But he didn't expect that after several days of searching in the city, he still let her escape. After that, what he wanted to do was to attack Fengtian, welcome Emperor Wei back and force him to abdicate. But he was actually repelled by Pei Jiaoran by pretending to be a ghost. Now she sneaked into Chang'an again and kidnapped her son.

Thinking of this, Dugujun sighed heavily. He didn't know what Pei Jiaoran wanted to do, or how many people she had brought into the city, or whether she had any foreign aid in the city. The only thing that was certain was that Pei Jiaoran also wanted to negotiate with him, and she had guessed her plan.

Li Xiujing's Shence Army occupied Bashang, while Xu Mian's West Route Army was stationed in Xianyang City. He could see that both wanted to compete for the top spot. But Li Xiujing had some scruples. He was worried that Chang'an City would be destroyed by him. That's why they chose to attack from Beiyuan.

What he has to do now is to stabilize the situation as much as possible, and then find out what Pei Jiaoran wants to do.

Just as he was thinking about it, a guard's exclamation suddenly came from the door.

Not long after, a knock on the door reached my ears.

Dugujun asked people to come forward and open the door. The man came back with an arrow and a letter tied to the tail.

I urgently asked someone to bring the letter over and show it to him. Dugujun quickly opened the letter, and there was only one sentence in the letter.

"Ru Zian, would you like to invite the Grand Lieutenant to gather at Dajiao Temple tomorrow? Yours sincerely, Pei Jiaoran."

Looking at the arrogant words on the letter, Dugujun took a deep breath. He angrily picked up the Piyong inkstone on the case and threw it on the ground. The snow-white inkstone body suddenly fell into pieces.

"Your Majesty!" the ministers shouted urgently.

"Be sure to guard the Guangtai Gate tomorrow. I will personally visit the Dajiao Temple."

Dawn is approaching in the east. Pei Jiaoran walked along Jiacheng in the direction of Dajiaoguan. The sky above her head was white and unfathomable. Dark purple clothes surged like clouds.

Facing the rising skylight, she stepped into the Great Horn Temple.

There was silence in Dajiao Temple, only the copper bells on the eaves were spinning in the wind, making a cheerful sound. This place is not far from Guangtai Gate, so the sound of falling rocks can be heard from time to time.

He looked at the warlock guarding the Great Horn Temple. Pei Jiaoran moved along the stairs to the top of the tower.

From the top, you have an unobstructed view of everything.

Under the skylight, Dugujun was leading two hundred soldiers on foot to this place.

Pei Jiaoran, who was on the top of the tower, couldn't help but shudder when he saw the two hundred soldiers coming in impressive formation. No matter how many people Dugujun brings with him, she doesn't feel scared. Anyway, she holds his weak spot.

"Captain Dugu." Pei Jiaoran called with a smile, "I came here on the emperor's order. Why did the captain bring so many people?"

Looking from a wide angle, Dugujun raised his hand. Signaling others to stop, he went upstairs alone.

I saw Pei Jiaoran standing on the railing against the wind. Dugujun looked around and didn't see his son. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, I didn't bring him here." Pei Jiaoran said with a solemn look: "Li Xiujing, the commander of Shence's camp, led the army to suppress the rebellion. If the Taiwei is willing to open the door and ask for surrender, past evil deeds will be forgotten. It will happen again in the future. Merits can also be rewarded. If you continue to be stubborn, don't blame the ruthlessness of the sword. Under the military law and the emperor's order, all those who disobey must be killed!"

"Hahahaha." Dugujun laughed a few times and looked at Pei Jiaoran calmly, "Shang Shu Pei, do you think I am a three-year-old child? The serious crime of treason and usurping the throne can be forgiven. Then doesn't everyone in the world can do it? Rebellion? Besides, the Huan family can sit on this throne, but my Dugu family can’t?"

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran sighed, "Of course you can sit, but it depends on whether others are willing. Cai Xilie stationed troops in Songzhou to contain the Jianghuai River. Does the Taiwei think that the city of Chang'an alone can compare with Cai Xilie? As for Dugu Bo I’m afraid I have too much time to take care of myself.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Dugujun raised his head and stared at Pei Jiaoran with a gentle face.

If he remembers correctly. According to Yan Lingyao, it was Pei Jiaoran who delivered the reward to Jing Zhaoyin. In other words, she knew exactly how much reward she wanted to allocate, but she allocated a reward that exceeded the specification.

"You...you set this up?"

"Huh?" Pei Jiaoran licked his lips and asked suspiciously: "What kind of layout is there? I am here today only on the emperor's order to negotiate with the Taiwei. Your Majesty still intends to forgive you, but he has a condition."

After listening to her words, Dugujun drew his sword. He struck the fence angrily.

Glancing at the falling sawdust, Pei Jiaoran said leisurely: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that the Taiwei confessed his crime and ordered the sergeants of Youyan Land to swear allegiance to the imperial court."

"Didn't you just say that Dugu Bo has too much time to take care of himself?"

"He Shuo conspired against several people, but didn't His Majesty forgive them all? Lieutenant, I know what you want to do." Pei Jiaoran took a few steps forward, "It's just that you want to imitate Dong Zhuo and burn down the capital, and then escape. Far away. In this way, even if the imperial court recaptures Chang'an, it will only get an empty city. The order has since fallen into chaos, and there are many powerful people from all sides. Your rebellion will become extremely glorious."

There was no embarrassment on Dugujun's face as his mind was penetrated. He looked at Pei Jiaoran and said something.

"You did it all, right?"
