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

"No." Pei Jiaoran held her lips, her long eyelashes drooping lightly. He looked humble and submissive, but in Jian Shui's autumn eyes, there was a hidden provocation to the emperor, "Xu Mian wants to reorganize the Twelve Guards of Nanya, and he will offend more than one party. Your Majesty will not agree to the overpowering of foreign forces." Inner Dynasty. You know, the reason why His Majesty favors Zhang Rang is because he can use the Shence Army to compete with the Outer Dynasty. Based on this alone, there will only be Jinwu Guards in Nanya."

The emperor's heart is like the sea, unfathomable. Nowadays, Nanya and Beisi maintain a delicate balance, and Emperor Wei is very satisfied with this situation. Therefore, if Xu Mian really wanted to reorganize the Twelve Guards, he would definitely be severely suppressed by the court. As for her, she might combine existing political resources to block his promotion path.

If Xu Mian understood the situation, he would not have raised such a question. On the other hand, if he doesn't want to do this, then she can give him some benefits as compensation for this secret obstruction.

"That's true. The rain has stopped, why don't we go for a walk in Lishan Mountain?" Li Xiujing said with a smile.

"Next time. I'm going to my brother's place. I haven't thanked Uncle Boyu properly since I came back." Pei Jiaoran glanced at him and continued: "Do you want to go with me?"

"Okay!" Li Xiujing jumped up excitedly.

Seeing this, He Liang smiled and said, "General, why don't you take care of yourself? What if my uncle is not satisfied with you?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes and glared at He Liang.

She wanted Li Xiujing to go, not to see her brother. In any case, Cui Boyu helped Li Xiujing in Heshuo. It is also appropriate for him to thank others.

"There is no reason to inquire into the private affairs of your superiors. He Liang, you go and get the ten army sticks by yourself." Li Xiujing said while tightening his sleeves.

He Liang's eyes widened as he watched Li Xiujing chase Pei Jiaoran away. Some couldn't believe it. These two obviously like to stick together as soon as they meet. Why did he become so inhumane when he mentioned this? Could it be that those things were all just pretense?

There are horses in the stables.

Picking a tame horse at random, Pei Jiaoran mounted the horse in the stirrups and galloped away. Li Xiujing followed closely behind.

Lishan Mountain is still some distance away from Zhongnan Mountain. When the two arrived at Zhongnan Mountain, it happened to be noon.

Outside the small courtyard, there were people waiting outside.

Take a closer look. Seeing it was Cui Boyu, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "Uncle Boyu."

"Girl, Li Langjun." Cui Boyu bowed his hands and saluted.

After leading the two of them in, a green shadow suddenly ran over like the wind. Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and stretched out his arms to catch the visitor steadily.

That person is Bi Fei.

"Girl, you're here. You can take me home today, right?" Bi Fei glanced out of the corner of his eye and caught a glimpse of Li Xiujing frowning: "Girl, why did you bring him here!"

"Can't I come?" Li Xiujing asked with a smile.

Pulling Pei Jiaoran a few steps forward, Bi Fei looked wary, "There's nothing good about a beautiful man. Girl, are you being deceived by him?"

Reaching out and pinching Bi Fei's face, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "Your girl, I am smart, wise, and wise. How could I be deceived by him? What kind of books have you read? What are you thinking in your head?"

Just as he was talking, Pei Zhanran had already walked out.

"How long do you plan to stand outside? Do you still want to eat?" Pei Zhanran shouted loudly.

Several people sat down one after another.

"We are all our own, don't be polite, just eat whatever you want." Pei Zhanran took a sip of wine and looked at Pei Jiaoran, "Jiajia, why do you have time to come to my place?"

Pei Jiaoran smiled, "Of course I'm here to thank Uncle Boyu. By the way, I'm taking Bi Fei back as well."

After speaking, she raised her glass to Cui Boyu, and Li Xiujing followed her.

"Why are you two raising glasses at the same time?" Pei Zhanran looked confused.

"I also thank Uncle Boyu for rescuing me in Qingyuan." Li Xiujing looked at Pei Zhanran and raised his glass again, "I also respect Brother Zhanran for his help in returning to Yiwu."

He knew that apart from Pei Jiaoran's operation in the Ministry of Household Affairs, this expedition to Heshuo was not the only one. The maintenance of Huiyi is also crucial. Without the money from Yiwu, he might not be able to survive for long.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Bi Fei, who was drunk, lay on the table and muttered something from time to time.

Listening to Bi Fei's muttering, Li Xiujing shook his head. He couldn't remember how he offended her in Guazhou. He either said that he was a heartless person or told Pei Jiaoran to stay away from him and be careful of being deceived.

Li Xiujing bit her cheek and smiled.

Did he lie to her? Judging from her cunningness, I'm afraid he was the only one who was deceived by her. There were times when he seemed to have the upper hand, but in the end it was she who won. She would only let herself win a few times when they were in bed.

Just as he was thinking about Pei Jiaoran, he helped Bi Fei up.

"I'll send Bi Fei to rest first." After saying that, Pei Jiaoran turned and left.

There were only three men left in the house.

Cui Boyu glanced at the two of them, stood up and bowed, "I'm going to take a look at the book Lang Jun posted."

The two fell into silence.

"Do you like Jiajia?" Pei Zhanran asked.

After hearing this, Li Xiujing nodded and said in a deep tone, "I know what you want to say. Uncle Boyu also told me this. Jiajia is different from ordinary women, but it is precisely because she is different that I can I had a chance to meet her.”

"Even if she can't take care of the house for you, or even bear children for you, would you still be willing?"

"No woman is born to stay in the back house. Everyone has their own vast world. I know that Jiajia was born to belong to the power field, and I will not trap her in the back house. As for the heirs..." Li Xiu Jing Yixi said, "This thing is not that important. If she doesn't want it, then she doesn't want it. If she wants it, I like it regardless of gender."

Pei Zhanran looked at Li Xiujing and said nothing.

When the two came in, he noticed that Li Xiujing's eyes were always on Pei Jiaoran. Thinking of what Cui Boyu said after he came back, he became more and more certain that this guy really liked Pei Jiaoran. As for whether the two people liked each other, he was a little unsure.

After all, his sister is emotionally more rational than anything else. Even if you like it, don't allow emotions to control all your thoughts.

"In short, Jiajia's other wives are different. If you have conflicts, you can talk about them, and she is still happy to resolve them." Pei Zhanran added, "If one day, you fall in love with someone else, don't pester her anymore. , let her go."

"I belong to her now. I'm even afraid that she will leave me far away." Li Xiujing sighed and looked towards the door.

"What do you mean you are hers?" Pei Zhanran looked at Li Xiujing in astonishment, "Can you two..."

"Uncle, it's the same as you thought. It's just that she slept with me. No matter how you look at it, she is responsible for me." Li Xiujing raised her lips and smiled needlessly, "But it doesn't matter, I like her. She has carried such a heavy burden on her own for such a long time, so she has to find a place to vent."

In fact, he saw that Pei Jiaoran was very tired that day. She mustered up her energy to deal with Qin Huaiyi, so she fell asleep in the bathtub, and finally asked him between waking and dreaming if she wanted to go to Wushan with her. She needed to vent her emotions, and he was willing to be her outlet.

"I didn't expect you to be a love interest."

"I only like her."
