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

Pei Jiaoran didn't come back until late at night. The room was shrouded in dim candlelight, and Li Xiujing was sitting next to the desk, seemingly asleep. The document in his hand was placed casually on his lap.

After taking a look at Li Xiujing, Pei Jiaoran walked behind the screen. He took off his dark purple robe. Before she came back, she had ordered Fangge to come to the post house to deliver orders and prepare a bathtub and hot water for her.

The steam rising from the tub was like clouds. Pei Jiaoran took off his inner clothes and stepped into the water. The water temperature is just right. The hosta that has been tied up in the hair is placed aside, and his arms are casually resting on the edge of the bucket. The thick moonlight mixed with the water light through the window screen and flowed over her shoulders.

Flicking with the water with his fingers, Pei Jiaoran stared at Fang Yue in front of him.

Suddenly there were footsteps coming from behind. The scorching warmth fell on her shoulders and wrapped around her neck.

"Are you awake?" Pei Jiaoran held his lips and slid his hand along the wrist bone to his strong arm. Feel the tension of his muscles through the fabric of his clothes. Her fingertips tickled him intentionally or unintentionally, gently. Feeling the slight heavy breathing of the person behind her, she suddenly withdrew her hand. However, he was caught by Li Xiujing.

"You soak while I rub your shoulders." Li Xiujing smiled, lowered her head and kissed Pei Jiaoran's forehead, "The postman said that you have been busy until midnight every day since you came here, and you were sick not long ago. Come back." He said as he pushed her back into the water. A broad and strong palm also fell on her shoulder.

Li Xiujing controlled the strength very well and made her feel quite comfortable. Pei Jiaoran simply soaked in the tub peacefully, enjoying it wholeheartedly. The tension in his shoulders gradually disappeared under his strength.

"The water is cold, can you carry me out?" Pei Jiaoran whispered.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiujing made a move. He turned around and took a blanket from the wooden rafter nearby and put it on her. He carefully lifted her out of the water.

The blanket was wrapped around her body, and the bright jade color became a sultry fire. The moisture soaked into the fabric, carried the warmth to the skin, and then spread. It seemed that he wanted to usurp his consciousness.

She was placed on the bed by him, and Li Xiujing immediately leaned over and stared at her. His body pressed tightly against hers, and she could easily detect the changes in him and the desire in his eyes. Pei Jiaoran suddenly smiled, raised her head and kissed the corner of his lips. Her hands slid into his sleeves, gently stroking the hard muscles and bones.

She hadn't seen Li Xiujing for several days. Originally, he was far from having a beautiful face, but at a glance, he looked like wheat from top to bottom, the color of which had been exposed to the sun for a long time. I have to say that whenever I look at her, Li Xiujing's appearance is outstanding, and she has a good figure.

With his thoughts at this point, Pei Jiaoran sighed.

The soft lips approached quietly and silently thanks to her stunned skills. He lifted her earlobe and rolled it to her neck. The movement was more intense than during the day. The curtain fell, and the night and the moon had soaked each other. He invaded her lips unreasonably, greedily absorbing her voice, but would pull away at just the right moment, and then come back again. It seemed that he wanted to give her a chance to breathe before pulling her down together.

Understanding Li Xiujing's intention, Pei Jiaoran's smile gradually deepened. Fingers caressed his back.

Pei Jiaoran called out slowly, "Erlang."

"Huh?" Li Xiujing responded.

Hearing Li Xiujing's response, she raised her lips and smiled softly. She leaned into his ear and uttered a few words. After a while, he turned him to his side and opened the buttons on his clothes with his fingers.

With her hands behind her head, Li Xiujing looked at Pei Jiaoran calmly, "Jiajia, are you sure you want to do this?"

"This is my territory. I can come wherever I want." Pei Jiaoran glanced at Li Xiujing and stood up.

The sudden movement, after a slight snort. The smile on Li Xiujing's face deepened.

Her movements were gentle and gentle. Accept it tentatively, but not too much. She leaned forward and brushed her lips across Li Xiujing's eyebrows, and tapped his throat with her fingertips.

This was not the first time she looked down at Li Xiujing, but she still quite liked the feeling of looking at him like this. Only in this way, every move he made could not escape her eyes, and she could still see the desire rising deep in his eyes.

Li Xiujing smiled and put his hand on her waist.

Sensing Li Xiujing's movements, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips. At her action, he frowned and called Jiajia in a low voice.

"What to do?" Pei Jiaoran muttered.

She asked softly, and in return he held her down. And his actions made her frown. Finally, she closed her eyes and leaned on him.

"So unfamiliar. I'm here to please you." Li Xiujing reached out to wipe away the sweat from her forehead.

Upon hearing this, Pei Jiaoran opened his eyes and pinched his chest hard. It made Li Xiujing tremble slightly. He suddenly turned over and locked her in his arms again. His eyebrows were still affectionate.

After accepting him, Pei Jiaoran also raised his head and looked at him affectionately. The strong body swayed like a whale's nebula, and she was wrapped around that body like a vine. The autumn wind that rushes in late at night lingers on the texture, and the sound of crashing waves on the shore is heard in my ears.

Under the moonlight, love burns everything, and reason becomes a dream in the sea of ​​evil and love. But the two of them still abide by the rules, and he still leaves immediately as promised, completing his peak in the darkness. And she closed her eyes and sighed in the darkness. She was willing to give her body to him. But given the current situation, some things cannot be had both ways. But it would be nice to have someone to walk side by side with during the long night.

"Let your people watch Yuan Yanchong for me." Pei Jiaoran said silently.

"Are you planning to put him under house arrest?"

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran nodded and said, "I went to meet with Tian Zizhan and them. I was already here, but the court sent someone again. I can't guarantee that they will have other thoughts. Appropriate comfort is better than doing nothing."

She went to see Tian Zizhan, also wanting to test their attitude after knowing that the court had sent people again. Fortunately, Tian Zizhan didn't ask any more questions. Even Cui Yuzhang was silent on this.

"Okay. I remember it is recorded in the "Book of Sui" that after Emperor Yang Sui pacified Jiangnan, he was rebelled two years later. If you really follow your majesty's wishes, I am afraid that Heshuo will also rebel like Jiangnan."

"That's right. Yang Sui and his son were equally eager for quick success and instant benefits, and it was normal for the second generation to die in the end." Pei Jiaoran tapped his finger on his waist, "The general direction of unifying Jiangnan with force is correct, and the five religions promoted are also correct. It's just that the north and the south are Since the split of the two dynasties, southern culture has always been the orthodoxy. The promotion of northern culture, the abolition of original officials, and the re-establishment of a two-level system of prefectures and counties are all correct in the general direction. Pu Liurujian feels too good about himself, He didn’t know enough about governing. He wanted to overturn the table as soon as he came up. How could the wealthy Jiangnan family at that time agree?"

"At that time, Buddhism was prevalent in the south of the Yangtze River, but he vigorously promoted the five Confucian religions. This actually didn't matter. It was just that the method was used too hastily, which eventually led to the rebellion of the old realm."

Looking at Pei Jiaoran, Li Xiujing said: "Pu Liurujian finally sent two people to participate in quelling the rebellion. The former had little effect, but the latter had the best effect."

"This is the secret of kingship and domineering together. Pure violence cannot solve the problem from the root. It is a good move to attract scholars from Jiangnan to win over the people. As for recognizing the status of Buddhism in Jiangnan, joining forces with the eminent monk Zhiyi . Maybe it was good at the time, but if you think about it carefully, when it grows into a giant and begins to devour the vitality of the dynasty, these religions are just silverfish." Pei Jiaoran took a deep breath, "But fortunately there are not many Buddhists in Heshuo, otherwise it would be impossible. What a nuisance.”

"You are eloquent, but these people are no match for you."

Listening to Li Xiujing's words, Pei Jiaoran pursed his lips and remained silent.

It is certainly easy to argue with monks about Buddhism. The hard thing is how to deal with the believers behind these people. These seemingly insignificant forces are often accompanied by potential crises.

She may be able to argue to silence the eminent monk, but once faced with the power generated by the people. No matter how eloquent she is, it won't make any difference.

It is not easy to quell the civil unrest that threatens the strength of believers. But sooner or later, she has to peel off these golden coats.
