After explaining the tasks of the accompanying people, he watched Wu Lingjia and his accompanying people leave one after another. Pei Jiaoran stood by the window with his hands behind his hands, looking towards the commander-in-chief's mansion in the distance. Even though the inn was far away from it, she could still feel the hugeness of Wei Bojie's mansion. She closed her eyes and sighed, and her hand that was resting on the window frame tightened little by little.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a loud noise at the door of the inn.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the tooth soldiers from Jieshuai Mansion stopping at the door of the inn. Pei Jiaoran narrowed his eyes.

When there is a knock on the door. Pei Jiaoran went downstairs holding the emperor's talisman, and as the envoy of Heshuo and the king of Yanmen County, he followed more than ten people out of the inn. After accepting the salute of Wei Bojie Commander Shi, he boarded the car surrounded by Jinwu guards and left.

Looking out through the car curtain. Pei Jiaoran couldn't help but praise the new Commander-in-Chief Wei Bo, who was indeed very courteous to her as an envoy from Chang'an. There were barriers wherever the carriage passed, and Sergeant Wei Bo stood along the road. While giving the court enough face, he seemed to want to reveal something.

Pei Jiaoran curled his lips and gently touched the Emperor's Talisman in his hand. The yak tail hanging from the knot swayed slightly under the bumps of the carriage.

Even though Heshuo returned, she still saw in these Wei Boya soldiers that they were unwilling to submit to the imperial court.

She knew that if the imperial court wanted to fully control the three towns of Heshuo, there would still be a long way to go. The transfer of personnel and talents is one aspect, but the previous killings and bloodshed could not completely deter these Heshuo arrogant soldiers. Rather than letting these arrogant soldiers have thoughts of rebelling against the court as time goes by, causing the court's current efforts to be wasted, it is better to nip all unstable factors in the early stages now.

In this world, the boundaries between good and evil and right and wrong are always difficult to distinguish. It is inevitable that innocent people will be sacrificed in the game between the two forces.

At this time, Commander-in-Chief Wei Bo and Commander-in-Chief Chengde were waiting at the door of Commander-in-Chief's Mansion, with their subordinates standing behind them.

When the carriage stopped, Pei Jiaoran stepped out of the carriage. He looked at the bureaucrats from Weibo and Chengde in front of him with a smile. After greeting each other, everyone stepped into the Commander's Mansion with a smile amidst the sound of bugles and drums.

What came into view was the shining armor and the orderly formation of sergeants from Weibo and Chengde.

Moving his eyes over the soldiers, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "Sergeant Heshuo really has a neat military appearance."

"Mr. Pei is overly praised." Wei Bojieshuai hurriedly took over the conversation.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled and glanced at Wei Bojieshuai who answered.

This person's face is gentle, and there is less of a sinister air between his brows. With a short beard, he looks quite elegant. On the other hand, Cheng Dejieshuai looked like a martial artist, with a long beard and a scar from his left eyebrow to under his left eye.

Entered the main hall of Jieshuai Mansion. Pei Jiaoran took over the imperial edict from the accompanying Fang Pavilion and ordered him to proceed with integrity. Pei Jiaoran started making books and read the emperor's edict loudly.

Following the contents of her edict, she read it out bit by bit. A smile gradually appeared on the faces of Wei Bo and Cheng Dejie. This edict not only affirmed the behavior of the two men, but also named them as Inspector Sikong and Inspector Situ respectively.

After reading out the edict, Pei Jiaoran raised his hands to the two of them and said, "Pei would like to congratulate you both."

As soon as she bowed, the other two followed her.

Seeing this, Pei Jiaoran quickly stretched out his hand to stop the two of them, and said calmly, "Why do you two do this? You deserve this reward."

"Thanks to the Emperor, regardless of past grievances, he is willing to accept the two of us back to the imperial court." Marshal Wei Bo cried bitterly, "My uncle was so stupid that he rebelled against the imperial court, and harmed the people because of his selfish desires. This is really outrageous to both humans and gods. I thought I deserved to be accepted by the emperor. I was angry, but I didn’t expect the emperor to be so magnanimous.”

"I originally thought that I could not escape the death penalty, but I didn't expect that I was forgiven by the emperor. Now that I think about what I did before, I really regret it." Cheng Dejieshuai also burst into tears.

Pei Jiaoran said: "You two have stopped at the cliff, so your Majesty will not look into the past. Your Majesty only hopes that Heshuo and Chang'an can work together in the future to get rid of past prejudices."

"What Xianggong Pei said is true." Commander Wei Bo handed over his hand, "We are the master of the Ming Dynasty. If we do that disobedient thing again, how will we be different from those traitors? Xianggong Pei, please convey to your majesty, we swear allegiance to your majesty."

Looking at the two of them, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips. After all, she had never been in contact with the two of them, and she couldn't tell whether their words were true or false. A habitual smile appeared on his face.

After the two of them calmed down, Pei Jiaoran took the initiative to hold their hands and said, "Your Majesty knows the loyalty of the two of you. Otherwise, there would not be such a reward. I just don't know where Pinglu Jiedu made him?"

"Pinglu is still far away from Weizhou. I'm afraid we won't be able to arrive until the next two days." Commander Wei Bojie replied.

"It doesn't matter, I'll wait a few more days. I'll just go to Weizhou for a walk and get to know the local customs of Heshuo." Pei Jiaoran looked around and smiled, "Since everyone is here, let's all sit down."

After listening to her words, Marshal Wei Bojie winked at Chang Shi beside him. After understanding this, Chang Shi withdrew.

Not long after, a group of servants filed in carrying food boxes. With Pei Jiaoran as the first, he distributed meals separately.

After the servants and maids had retired, Marshal Wei Bo took the lead in raising his glass and said, "I would like to propose a glass to Mr. Pei first."

"Tian Jie is handsome and polite."

"Pei Shangshu is in charge of the country's affairs, so why do you still have time to come to Heshuo? Your Majesty is really willing to let you come. I heard that you have contributed a lot to the imperial court's recovery of Chang'an. But your visit has allowed me to see what He is a talented person and a romantic person."

"Xianggong Pei is the number one female scholar. In terms of this alone, I'm afraid no one in the world can match him."

Wei Bo and Cheng De praised each other handsomely, which made Pei Jiaoran somewhat embarrassed. He took a sip of wine with a slight embarrassment and said: "There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people. There may be crouching tigers, hidden dragons in the three towns of Heshuo, and there may be talented people who can enter Taiwan Province in the future."

The departure of the three towns, except for the taxation, was not included in the court. Even the scholars living in the three towns no longer regard becoming an official as their first choice. On the contrary, many people turned around and became the aides of Jiedushi.

As soon as she put down her wine cup, she saw Shi, the commander-in-chief who had just left, leading the two of them in. Under his instruction, the two men kowtowed in front of the steps.

Pei Jiaoran frowned as he looked at the two people.

Wei Bojieshuai smiled and said: "This is a little bit of someone's heart."

The two people who were kneeling just now raised their heads. Two young men's faces were revealed.

Pei Jiaoran's expression froze. After two lifetimes, she has seen people offering their beauty to others, but this was the first time someone offered them to her. Not to mention that she had no interest in it and even found it troublesome, not to mention that there was also Li Xiujing in Chang'an.

Lu Zheng alone had caused him trouble, let alone these two people.

Seeing Pei Jiaoran's indifferent expression, Wei Bojie smiled handsomely and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Pei, these two are both good family members. You just want to be happy and don't worry about anything else."

Pei Jiaoran also understood what these two people wanted to do. It's nothing more than trying to use this matter to win over myself. In order to lay the foundation for Wei Bo to gain a foothold in the court in the future. This kind of method is the lowest method in the power field, but it can often satisfy many people. It's a pity that the one I met was her, who values ​​power more.

Pei Jiaoran smiled and declined, "We are accompanied by a supervisory censor on this trip, which is equivalent to accepting a bribe. If they go back to read a certain book later, it will be equivalent to a bribe. It is better to let these two people go back."

"This...is Mr. Pei still afraid of the two little censors?" Wei Bojieshuai frowned, "What's more, they are not accompanying you this time. You can rest in a certain mansion."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran sighed, "Shuai Tianjie, don't underestimate the supervisory censor. He can impeach someone with more than two thousand stones, so he has great power."

"That would be rude of me. Okay, let's take them both down." Wei Bojieshuai waved his hand.

The two of them retreated, and the sound of silk and bamboo in the room continued to sound. Everyone was chatting happily.
