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

"My skills are inferior to others." Li Xiujing said coldly.

Pei Jiaoran let go after hearing this and quickly stepped aside. Watching Li Xiujing get up on her own, she turned her head and lowered her face to look at the group of laughing and joking town soldiers.

All the soldiers then left together and returned to the barracks.

Realizing that Li Xiujing was looking at him, Pei Jiaoran cleared his throat and said, "It's getting late..."

"Your hand is injured. I'll take you to get some medicine." After saying this, Li Xiujing grabbed Pei Jiaoran's arm and pulled her forward without any explanation.

He wanted to break free from Li Xiujing's grasp, but this man suddenly gained infinite strength. That hand was firm and strong. No matter how hard Pei Jiaoran tried, he just couldn't break it open.

After many attempts, Pei Jiaoran gave up the struggle. Let Li Xiujing pull her forward.

He took her to a verandah.

There are two basins placed under the verandah.

Pulling Pei Jiaoran to sit down. Li Xiujing reached into the basin and tested the water temperature before twisting the handkerchief.

Li Xiujing knelt down and spread out Pei Jiaoran's palms. The blood stains on the palms of his hands appeared in front of his eyes. Although there are only a few, they are very eye-catching. Wiped away the blood stains with a handkerchief, took the ointment from the fire chief's hand, picked out a little with her fingertips, spread it on her palm and spread it evenly.

There is a thin layer of calluses on the fingertips, which makes it even more tingling when it is passed across the palm.

Looking down at Li Xiujing, who looked quite serious, Pei Jiaoran curved his lips and smiled particularly softly, "The governor is so attentive, I didn't notice it myself."

Putting the medicine box away, Li Xiujing pulled the fine cotton cloth and wrapped it around her palm, "A sword is different from a heavy weapon. It was quite difficult for you to pick it up, and you swung it for so long. How can your hands not be bruised?"

"I've learned a lesson." Pei Jiaoran nodded, with a slight smile on his face, "This year's Chinese New Year, the governor should come to the county. I'll ask Bi Fei to prepare delicious food for you."

When he stopped talking, Li Xiujing frowned and pursed his thin lips. He thought of the red bean yuanxiao dish, which smelled so sweet that it was cloying. He really doesn't like sweets.

"Don't worry, Governor, Bi Fei will also cook other dishes." Pei Jiaoran raised his lips, "I won't just cook sweets, I promise."

Li Xiujing looked at her hesitantly and nodded slowly.

Seeing Li Xiujing's reluctant look, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips helplessly and stood up with Zhu Zhu. Gently smooth out wrinkles on sleeves.

Smoke was rising from the tile roof in the distance. Nostrils are moving slightly, and there is fragrance coming in.

"Stay and eat. We'll go see Zhao Heng and Chu Sihu later." Li Xiujing said with a smile.

After thinking for a while, Pei Jiaoran nodded. Follow Li Xiujing to sit in his room.

Li Xiujing ordered his servants to deliver the meals to his room.

In addition to rice, there are two pastries and four plates of hot dishes on the table.

"Tsk, tsk. Jushengnu, through-flowered glutinous rice cakes, Tonghua soft beef intestines, sheepskin filaments..." Pei Jiaoran smiled, twisting a meatball and taking a small bite, "Oh, there are also Tangbaxiuwan. The governor is here Are you planning to treat me to a roast tail feast?"

When Wenwen Li Xiujing just looked up at her and said nothing. While putting a piece of beef intestine into her bowl, he searched for what else she might like to eat.

Seeing that the dishes were about to pile up, Pei Jiaoran blocked Li Xiujing with his chopsticks. Very carefully, he moved the dishes into his own area before starting to use his chopsticks.

Seeing Pei Jiaoran's appearance, Li Xiujing smiled and gave up. He didn't originally want to tease her, he just remembered the last time she stood in the snow and said to him "I'm hungry" with a serious face. After arriving at the house, he was obviously hungry and panicking, but he had to remain reserved to eat. The look was so cute that he couldn't help but want to watch it again.

He was really curious about where Pei Jiaoran was born to develop such a temperament.

While Li Xiujing's thoughts were wandering, Pei Jiaoran had already put down his chopsticks. Wiping her lips with a handkerchief, she raised her eyes and looked at him.

"I wonder if Zhao Heng is awake." Pei Jiaoran said with a smile.

Glancing at the handkerchief Pei Jiaoran placed beside his hand, Li Xiujing chuckled, "How could he wake up so quickly when his energy and blood attack his heart?"

"That's it." Pei Jiaoran raised his jade eyebrows slightly, with calculation in his eyes, "Then the governor should just take the opportunity to take back his power. Zhao Canjun is ill, how can he act as an excuse."

The word "illness" was particularly emphasized in the words.

Li Xiujing looked up at her, and the two of them smiled tacitly.

After the two of them finished their meal, they sent a servant to the medical officer to inquire about the situation. After learning that Zhao Heng had just woken up, he set off to visit.

As soon as they arrived at the door, the two heard a groan of "Ouch" coming from inside. You don't have to think twice to know who made the sound.

Looking at each other, Pei Jiaoran stretched out his hand to open the door. He looked at the two people in the room with concern.

Chu Sihu lay on the couch and kept moaning, but Zhao Heng simply turned his head away when he heard the movement at the door.

"What happened to Zhao Canjun? Why did Hao Duanduan suddenly fainted?" Pei Jiaoran walked to Zhao Heng's bed and said warmly.

Listening to Pei Jiaoran's voice, Zhao Heng felt something in his heart. Pretending not to hear, he kept turning sideways and facing inward.

"Since you are not in good health, Zhao Canjun, you should take good care of your health." Li Xiujing came over and said with concern: "I will explain it to Commander Jie, so you don't need to worry."

After saying this, Zhao Heng turned around quickly with a look of shame on his face, "Thank you, Governor, for your care. Your previous injury has not healed yet, how dare I ask you to work so hard for me. I'd better continue to handle it for you, and you should have a good rest."

Chu Sihu on the side coughed several times after hearing this.

"Zhao Canjun, your body is not as strong as the governor's. Why show off? It's better to rest peacefully for a few days and continue to deal with the money grabbers after you recover." Pei Jiaoran said with a smile.

There was real concern in his words, and even Chu Sihu couldn't help but echo him.

Zhao Heng ignored Pei Jiaoran and looked at Li Xiujing, still unwilling to give up, "But over there with Commander Ji..."

"Jie Shuai understands the righteousness deeply, how can he argue?"

Under Li Xiujing's gaze, Zhao Heng finally chose to accept the facts.

Sensing Zhao Heng's frustration, Pei Jiaoran patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Zhao Canjun takes good care of his health. Only when you recover from your illness will you have the strength to work for the court."

After hearing this, Zhao Heng stiffened.

"May I ask the governor, how do you plan to deal with those money grabbers?" Zhao Heng asked.

"It's the same arrangement as Zhao Canjun. You can only leave after paying the money." Seeing the doubt in Zhao Heng's eyes, Li Xiujing smiled, "Don't worry, I won't let Zhao Canjun's efforts go in vain."

This situation is a foregone conclusion. Zhao Heng's eyes darkened, covering up the disappointment and hatred in his eyes.

Catching Zhao Heng's strange behavior, Pei Jiaoran sighed lightly.

This chess piece was not chosen well enough, and I was eager for quick success. Obsessed with some petty gains in front of me, and missed others. In the political arena, one must always maintain a clear mind and keen insight. Otherwise, it is like sailing in the dark. Any wave can destroy your boat and kill you.

Thinking of this, Pei Jiaoran turned his head and looked at the candlestick in the distance, and the corners of his lips slowly raised.
