When Jingyuan was still caught in the turmoil of the Shence Army seizing military power and killing the commander-in-chief by the most direct means, Pei Jiaoran, who was sent as an envoy with the mission, also followed the Heshuo envoy who went to Chang'an to serve as a messenger and arrived in the Taihang Mountains.

A ray of golden light fell on the Taihang Mountains, and the new wind blowing over the mountains blew the flags. Pei Jiaoran got off the carriage and looked at the Taihang Mountains in the distance. He reached out to the follower and took the map.

Pei Jiaoran looked at the Taihang Mountains based on the map, his eyes showing contemplation.

This is the first time that officials from Chang'an have set foot here in so many years. In addition to Wu Lingjia, he was accompanied by the supervisory censor of the Yushitai and officials from the Ministry of Industry. Except for Wu Lingjia, she brought the others in accordance with Emperor Wei's order. The purpose of these people traveling together was to take the opportunity to explore the internal situation of the three towns in Heshuo, so that they could report what they saw and heard to Tianting when they returned.

Pei Jiaoran had no opinion on this matter. After all, Heshuo had rebelled for so many years, and the documents that had been left in Chang'an in the past were all old things, which was not conducive to the court's understanding of the current situation.

She had carefully observed that the officials in the Ministry of Industry and the Royal Envoy were not only knowledgeable and good at memorizing, but also good at drawing maps. Watching them along the way, I got out of the car to explore the scenery and wrote a lot of things.

The huge team standing in front of the boundary monument of Xiangzhou is particularly eye-catching.

"Mr. Pei, Xiangzhou is in front of us." Heshuo's envoy drove his horse forward and said respectfully.

"Yeah. It's getting late, let's get going."

The group finally arrived at Xiangzhou City just before dark and rested overnight in the posthouse. After setting off at dawn and resting at sunset for five days, the group finally arrived in Weizhou.

After the war subsided, Weizhou showed a sense of vitality. I don't know if it was because the imperial court had not set foot in the Northland for a long time, but the people watched the team enter the post house from the moment they entered the city. Because there were many Chang'an officials accompanying him, Heshuo's envoy could only rest in another restaurant in the city.

After taking a shower, Pei Jiaoran stood in front of the window twisting his hair. The room she lived in faced the street, and she could see the scene on the street at a glance.

Like Chang'an, Weizhou also implements a curfew system. After the closing drum beat, the vendors closed their stalls and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street.

"Closing at sunset is the same as in Chang'an." Wu Lingjia stood side by side with her and said with a smile: "And I think the people of Weizhou seem to welcome the imperial court."

"I can't say welcome. I can only say I'm curious." Pei Jiaoran played with his black hair and his eyes fell on the guards in front of the inn. "I think they must be curious whether the imperial court can bring them a different life." .”

Wu Lingjia smiled, "That's why you came in person."

"It can only be useful if I come in person. My identity is the most suitable. Others may not be able to gnaw at this group of powerful people who have lost restraint for a long time." Pei Jiaoran looked away from the guards, "I think tomorrow I hope Commander Wei Bo will come to see me, and I am still looking forward to what the new Commander Tian will say to the court."

"But I feel that the new Wei Bo Festival Commander is not good at dealing with things. Otherwise, he would not be able to quickly control the entire Wei Bo situation after killing the previous Festival Commander."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "Sometimes a coup is necessary. The right time, place and people are all indispensable. However, the commander-in-chief was lacking too much, and his nephew took advantage of it."

"If it hadn't rained in Luoyang that year, maybe Cao Mao would have succeeded in killing Sima Zhao, and Cao Wei's state Zuo would not have fallen into the hands of the Sima family."

Pei Jiaoran sighed lightly after listening to Wu Lingjia's words. It is a pity that there are not so many ifs in the history books. Later generations can only use the history books of later generations to understand the events of the previous generations. How can we know the turbulent waves and bloody storm behind the few numbers in the history books.

"Mr. Pei, the copy of the residence you requested has been sent," the postman said.

He responded to the postman outside the door. Pei Jiaoran took the copy and walked to the candlestick, holding the candle and reading the letter.

After watching for a while, Pei Jiaoran chuckled softly in his throat.

"Jiajia, why are you laughing?" Wu Lingjia looked confused.

nothing. Li Xiujing directly killed the Jingyuan Jie Shuai Kuang who came to his own territory, and quickly captured Anding. "Tapping his fingers on the table, Pei Jiaoran smiled warmly and said, "Right now, a bunch of Jingyuan sergeants are staring at An Ding. "

Looking at her with a narrow look, Wu Lingjia joked: "If that guy was smarter, how could he be fooled by Li Xiujing. But it seems he can't help it. Jiajia, why do I think Li Xiujing stayed with you for so long? Now, my temperament has changed a lot."

"Isn't it a beautiful thing if we can travel together and make history together?"

After speaking, Pei Jiaoran smiled meaningfully.

In fact, we can't blame her and Li Xiujing for being ruthless, but she and he were not the brightest people in the first place. And when the higher power controls the chariot to run over the body of the world, even the nobles of the aristocratic families cannot avoid falling into the quagmire, let alone those who are weak.

Those who cannot keep up with the world will eventually be eliminated.

When the moon sets and the sun rises, the sky regains its light. There was also a knock on the door of the inn, followed by the soft sound of armor clashing.

He opened his eyes and stared at the tent ceiling for a while, then stopped in front of the door when footsteps came closer and closer. Just when there was a knock on the door, Pei Jiaoran got up and got out of bed and put on his clothes. Walk to the door and listen to the subordinate's report.

"Ms. Pei, just now Wei Bo Jieshuai sent someone over. I asked you if you could condescend to go to Jieshuai's house. Chengde Jieshuai also arrived here last night. The post station is small after all. Jieshuai and subordinate officials from both places are coming. I'm afraid there are some Crowded.”

Pei Jiaoran frowned, seeming to be thinking about this matter seriously.

In the blink of an eye, Pei Jiaoran had a smile on his face and said softly: "Then go and prepare. This inn is indeed too small."

"Here."

After his subordinates left, Pei Jiaoran called the postman to bring hot water for washing.

"Jiajia, I heard that you are going to Jieshuai Mansion?" Wu Lingjia came in from outside and said in surprise.

"Yes. People from Chengde have also arrived. This inn is too small after all and can't accommodate too many people." After fastening his collar button in front of the mirror, Pei Jiaoran fastened his cufflinks and said, "You don't have to talk to me later. Let’s go together. Let’s go to the city and surrounding villages with two officials from the Ministry of Industry to find out what the people think of the new order. Remember, your own safety must be the top priority at all times.”

Wu Lingjia looked at her, "I don't have to. What about you? It's not safe if you only bring the two censors. Otherwise, why don't you bring more Jinwu guards?"

"This is natural. After all, you are representing the imperial court, so you still have to have the airs you should have. However, you have to give others some face on their territory."

This is one of the reasons why she did not bring the Shence Army with her on this trip, but instead brought the Jinwu Guards as her retinue. In addition to giving face to Nanya, he also considered that Shence Army had fought against Wei Bojun several times. When two parties meet, it is inevitable that there will be no disputes.

"I know you are good at planning, but you should be careful." Wu Lingjia warned uneasily.

"Okay. Don't worry, I will come back intact."
