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

After all, I thought I would meet him tomorrow morning. Li Xiujing didn't torment her too much, and let her go after she was satisfied. After boiling water and cleaning, the two lay side by side.

Pei Jiaoran opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling of the tent. But his mind was thinking about what he had just said from Li Xiujing's mouth. It seemed that his anger did not come from nowhere, but was deliberately caused by someone. Thinking about it this way, she seemed to have seen who the person behind it was.

Pei Jiaoran curled his lips, and a sneer flashed in his eyes. If you want to take credit, then take credit. Why bring her in? Because he thought she was not busy enough, he deliberately dragged her in together.

With his thoughts at this point, Pei Jiaoran sighed softly, "Tsk, is Xuanyin going to jump into such an obvious trap?"

"Anyway, I have nothing to lose." Li Xiujing turned around and put his arm around her waist, "You know that Shence and Jinwu Guards are not getting along. Why shouldn't I show off Shence's military power?"

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran turned to look at him.

Even without speaking, Li Xiujing caught a trace of disgust in her eyes. She thinks he is stupid. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

He and Lu Zheng started to fight. Part of the reason was due to the competitive rivalry between men, and part of the reason was to suppress Kingo Wei's arrogance. During the days of waiting in Xianyang, Xu Mian did a lot of sending people to spread rumors. The source of the rumors is nothing more than their relationship.

There was also dissatisfaction among the Shence army. If he didn't come forward, I'm afraid there would be a bigger disturbance. He believed that Pei Jiaoran had seen who was behind him, but she refused to say anything. Instead, he despised him.

Narrowing his eyes, Li Xiujing reached out and pinched the soft part of Pei Jiaoran's waist, with a smile on his face.

A sneer rose from his throat, and Pei Jiaoran expressionlessly pushed off the quilt from Li Xiujing. Pointing to the low couch next to the window, he said: "Go and sleep there. Squeeze in a piece to get warm."

"Jiajia, it's my fault." Li Xiujing stood up, supporting her head with her hands and looking at her, "But weren't you happy just now?"

Pei Jiaoran was stunned when he heard this. She glared at him, turned around with an impatient expression, and turned her back to him.

Seeing that Pei Jiaoran's anger had subsided, Li Xiujing lay down. Put your hands behind your head.

"I heard Aye say that you are very close to Cui Shao now?"

"His Majesty has not returned before, and he was ordered to assist in the affairs of the government. If I don't get close to him, who can I get close to?" Pei Jiaoran continued after thinking for a while: "Some officials in Chang'an have been reinstated, and the blank confession given by Heaven must be fulfilled. . Now that Heshuo has returned to the court, arranging them there seems to be able to solve a lot of troubles."

The number of officials in Beijing is limited and can only be placed in prefectures and counties. It's not time for exams yet, so there is no shortage of people in the prefecture and county. When Heshuo returns to the court, the issue of personnel appointments will be involved. There is a shortage of people in the feudal town, and those heroes who have submitted blank papers can just be arranged. She and Cui Shao discussed this for a long time before coming up with this idea.

"Heshuo has always been arrogant. I'm afraid he won't be convinced by the imperial court's arrangement of people to serve." Li Xiujing's voice was solemn, "Since it is a blank confession, it means it is ineffective. Why not reward him with money?"

"Yuwentai pursued Gao Aocao. He ordered that whoever beheaded Gao Aocao first would be rewarded with a thousand gold. In the end, Gao Aocao was killed by a pawn of the Western Wei Dynasty. As a powerful warlord at that time, Yuwentai naturally would not destroy No. It's just that at that time, the Western Wei Dynasty couldn't afford the money because of the annual battles. So it could only be allocated in installments. In the end, until Pu Liurujian usurped the Zhou Dynasty and established itself, the money was not paid out." Pei Jiaoran sighed, " Right now the court really has no money to give them.”

She also wanted to reward him with money, but Zuozang had no money. The money in the inner treasury was also squandered by Dugujun. The property of the officials of the puppet dynasty was confiscated, and she temporarily deposited it in Zuozang.

Chang'an has just recovered, even if Dugujun did not excessively destroy the people's livelihood in Chang'an. However, the war is still spreading to nearby states and counties, and the reconstruction of people's livelihood requires a large amount of manpower and material resources. These are all areas that cost money.

And just as the three towns returned to the imperial court, it meant that there would be a large number of personnel vacancies. Officials from prefectures and counties could be sent there by the imperial court to suppress the officials from the original three towns.

In short, no matter how you look at it, it is better than giving money directly.

"Even if it is not given to them, the rewards of the army sergeants must still be given. For these soldiers, sometimes the official position may be far less than the actual money." Li Xiujing's tone was low.

"Official position is dead, but money is living. There is only one life. Once you die, your official position will be taken back, and all you can leave to your family is money." Pei Jiaoran turned back and met Li Xiujing's gaze, " I plan to snatch the rewards from Shence and Jin Wuwei from the inner treasury. Zuo Zang’s money must be spent in the right place.”

Putting his hand on her forehead, Li Xiujing smiled, "You can make up your mind on this matter. It's late at night, so go to bed early."

After saying that, he raised his hand and pulled down the curtain.

As soon as the rooster crowed, Pei Jiaoran opened his eyes. He turned around habitually and bumped into a warm chest. She smacked her hand almost subconsciously, then suddenly withdrew her hand.

She almost forgot that Li Xiujing rested with her last night.

"Jiajia." Li Xiujing's low and hoarse voice came from beside her.

"It's time to get up," Pei Jiaoran said.

Hearing this, Li Xiujing got up and got out of bed, took the clothes from the side and put them on one by one. By the time he came back from washing up, Pei Jiaoran had already finished washing up in the house, changed his clothes, and was tying his belt.

Seeing Pei Jiaoran looking at the armor he had put aside, Li Xiujing seemed to remember something and stood still behind her. Resting his chin on her shoulder.

"Jiajia, why are you staring at it? Do you want to learn to wear armor for me?" Li Xiujing's tone was full of narrow-mindedness.

He remembered the time when he asked her for help in Guazhou. He asked her to call him Erlang, but she pretended to call him Erlang. He tried to untie his armor, but couldn't find a way, so he looked annoyed.

"Ha. When will Xuanyin take off his clothes piece by piece in front of me? I think it will be more interesting than me waiting for you to change." After saying that, Pei Jiaoran turned around, unbuttoned the collar he had just fastened, and explored Put your hands inside your clothes. She gently pinched his chest and squinted her eyes, "Erlang is worthy of being a soldier. He feels really good."

Being burned by her unpreparedly, Li Xiujing couldn't help but inhale. She took her hand out with a calm expression and held it firmly. With his free hand he fastened the collar button again.

"General, there is new news!"

He Liang's voice came from outside the door.

Listening to He Liang's voice, Pei Jiaoran licked his lips, "If he coaxes me again, I'm afraid the neighbors will know about it."

When she finished speaking, Li Xiujing had already pushed the door open and walked out.

He Liang, who was waiting with his personal guards at the door, saw Li Xiujing coming out and hurriedly came over with a smile on his face, "How are you, General?"

"If you continue to criticize your superiors, go get twenty military sticks yourself." Li Xiujing said with a straight face, "Tell me, what has His Majesty changed his mind?"

"The original route has been changed again. Your Majesty will return from Mingde Gate in the south and enter Zhuque Gate from Zhuque Street." He Liang stopped smiling and said in a deep voice.
