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

"Ms. Pei, you are finally back."

Pei Jiaoran just walked in. Lu Yushi, who was dressed in a green robe, came up to him with a worried look on his face.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I have something to report to you." Lu Yushi looked around and lowered his voice, "I hope Mr. Pei can move elsewhere."

Looking at Yushi Lu, Pei Jiaoran nodded, "It just so happens that I have something to ask you for."

"Here."

After entering the room, Pei Jiaoran took a seat. Just as he was about to reach out his hand to pour tea, he saw from the corner of his eye that Lu Yushi's left hand was indeed as Jin Wuwei said, with only five fingers left out of six. The corners of his lips were slightly raised unconsciously, but he still looked at Lu Yushi calmly.

"It's better to come down to the official position." Lu Yushi smiled and said, "I'm going to make some tea for you."

Pei Jiaoran did not reject Lu Yushi's proposal, and looked at him with a smile on his lips as he bowed his head and made tea. He picked up the book on the desk and started reading.

"Censor Lu is also from a scholarly family. Five days later, there will be a debate class held in the Commander-in-Chief Mansion. Are you willing to come?" Pei Jiaoran looked at Censor Lu with a shudder and asked.

Lu Censor paused and said, "Xiangong Pei is joking, and the lower officials are less talented and less knowledgeable. This debate is related to the court's face. How can the lower officials embarrass themselves?"

"That's such a pity." Pei Jiaoran looked at Yushi Lu regretfully, then lowered his head and continued to look at the hand.

He raised his eyes and looked at Pei Jiaoran cautiously. Lu Yushi took a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, used the tea stove as a barrier, and gently pushed open the seal. Fine white powder fell into the empty tea cup, and he quickly put away the porcelain bottle. Staring at the tea stove, silent.

"The water is boiling." Pei Jiaoran suddenly said.

"It's the official's negligence." Lu Yushi hurriedly covered the handle of the pot with a silk handkerchief and poured the tea into the cup.

The fragrant mist rises and a cup of tea is served.

Pushing the tea cup in front of Pei Jiaoran, Lu Yushi said: "Mr. Pei, please drink tea. I will report to you slowly."

"Lu Yushi, you are good at making tea. I think there must be someone in your family who is good at it. But..." Pei Jiaoran picked up the tea cup, blew away the mist, and sniffed lightly at the tip of his nose, "If you use this cup wrongly, it will inevitably cause trouble." It’s lost its flavor.”

"How could it be? This is how the tea is brewed. Mr. Pei, would you like to try it first? Maybe you have a lot of things to do, so you remember it wrong." Lu Yushi said solemnly.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran sighed, "Since Lu Yushi doesn't believe it, why not drink the tea yourself? After drinking the tea, how about we slowly talk about what you want to report?"

"This……"

"The cook will taste the food before serving it to ensure that it is delicious. If it is salty and uncomfortable, wouldn't it be a joke?" Pei Jiaoran said with a smile on his face, "Since Lu Yushi volunteered to serve me Make tea. Even if you are good at this, why not try it and see if the tea is edible?"

"Only you can drink this tea, Mr. Pei!" Lu Yushi stood up angrily and walked over the table. He stepped forward and grabbed Pei Jiaoran's collar, and poured tea into her mouth without any explanation.

Pei Jiaoran stretched out his hand to hold Lu Yushi's wrist bone, and suddenly exerted force on his hand. Under her action, Lu Yushi's hand holding the tea cup trembled slightly, and in the end she spilled the tea cup.

Look at the carpet that is smoking and stained with tea leaves. Pei Jiaoran suddenly laughed and looked at Lu Yushi with disappointment.

"Come here." Pei Jiaoran called.

As soon as she finished speaking, two Shence soldiers rushed in. He pointed his knife at Lu Yushi who was on the ground.

"This person plotted to kill me, and I will immediately go to the state prison for interrogation." Pei Jiaoran said with an indifferent expression.

"Here."

The Shence Army had just escorted Lu Yushi away. There were footsteps again at the door.

"What are you doing here?" Pei Jiaoran asked with a frown.

"Let's take a look at you. Where is Wu Xingjian?" Li Xiujing walked to her and sat down. There was still boiling water on the stove, "How about I make you some tea."

After stopping Li Xiujing's movement, Pei Jiaoran took the pot and poured tea into the cup. One cup per person.

After taking a sip of tea, Pei Jiaoran said: "Wu Xingjian went to see his new wife. But I have arranged for someone to spread the news. As long as Lu Yushi comes out, he can take action."

"Do you need my help?" Li Xiujing approached her and asked.

Looking at him, Pei Jiaoran said nothing. Turn around and go behind the screen to wash up.

After changing his clothes, Pei Jiaoran lay down on the bed. He stared blankly at the curtain above his head, which was outlined with a pattern of linked beads. However, Li Xiujing's eyes were also focused on her at this moment.

Turning over, Pei Jiaoran met Li Xiujing's gaze. Blinked. An arm stretched out from the quilt and waved to him.

Stepping forward to hold her hand, Li Xiujing sat down on the edge of the couch.

The warmth in his palms spread to his limbs and bones, and Pei Jiaoran closed his eyes and sighed.

His palms are always warm, just like they were in Guazhou a few years ago. He trusted her unconditionally, and she ran thousands of miles to find him. After finding him, he held her hand. It was warm, as if it wanted to melt the frost on her heart.

But what's the point? She is a politician, and he is also a potential politician. How could two politicians only talk about feelings? Even if there is, it is born out of interests.

After suppressing the aroused emotions, Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes. He is a great companion and a great partner. He listened to her arrangements and stayed out of the matter, but he still agreed that the Shence Army would be mobilized according to her arrangements.

Pei Jiaoran looked at Li Xiujing and smiled, "You just asked me if I wanted your help?"

"Well. What do you need me to help you with?" Li Xiujing lay down next to her, resting her head behind her head.

"I really need your help with something." Pei Jiaoran turned around and looked at him, "Erlang's Confucian classics should be pretty good, right?"

"I have won first place in the Imperial College and Hongwen Hall in the past. Are you asking this because it has something to do with Xiang Xu?" Li Xiujing asked.

"Yes. Those aristocratic families are not satisfied with this matter, and I know what their selfish motives are. Since they are opposed, let them see the true talents of Chang'an." Pei Jiaoran stood up and looked at Li Xiujing, "It turns out that I was the one who wanted to Lu Yushi, but he has no use for it. After much thought, you are the right one. You, Lingjia, Yuan Yanchong, Zhou Yushi and the two heads of the Ministry of Industry should be enough. ."

Hearing this, Li Xiujing looked at her, "Wouldn't it be more appropriate for you to go by yourself?"

"If I have to do everything myself, what else do others need to do? Erlang, if you lead the troops to fight by yourself, will you end up personally doing it every time? Since you want to establish your authority, you must give the people below you a chance and let them get it. Achievements." Pei Jiaoran put his leg on Li Xiujing, "When Chu and Han were fighting, Xiang Yu had many talented people around him, but in the end they all went to Liu Bang. This shows that the leader's ability is too strong and outshines others. Another thing. You must bow personally, others cannot stand out, and you can only choose another good master."

"And Erlang, you are a military commander. The three towns worship martial arts and Confucianism. If you let them see your ability, they will not be yearning for Chang'an."

This is also the reason why she invited Li Xiujing. He is a military commander and has excellent ability in Confucian classics. How can he not be impressed by these people who claim to be heirs of Confucian classics?

"Since Mr. Pei invited me, how can I not go?" Li Xiujing turned over and looked down at her, "Is your birthday coming soon?"

"Yes. Did brother tell you?" Pei Jiaoran asked, staring into his eyes.

"I met him a few times and he mentioned it to me." Li Xiujing lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, "What do you want?"

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran's lips raised, "You think about it yourself. It's late at night, go to sleep."

Li Xiujing narrowed her eyes when she heard the word "sleep". He whispered a word in her ear, causing her to raise her eyes and glare at him.

"I'm in a bad mood today. How about you try to beat them in the debate in five days. Maybe my mood will feel better." Pei Jiaoran pressed his throat with malice, and said with a smile: " Erlang cannot be pampered."

"It's up to you." Li Xiujing lay down next to her obediently.

Not long after, the sound of even breathing came to my ears. Li Xiujing turned to look at Pei Jiaoran, stretched out his arms and took her into his arms. His hot body pressed against hers.

"Good Jiajia." Li Xiujing murmured
