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

I don’t remember how much wine the two of them drank, the wine jar rolled all over the floor. Li Xiujing lay on his back, Pei Jiaoran rested on his chest, crossed his legs, and held a wine jar in his hand. The snowflakes were falling bigger and bigger, and the charcoal basin on the side was still burning. The two of them were already drunk and unconscious.

When Pei Zhanran came back, what he saw was a messy scene in his yard. Under the plum tree not far away, there were two people lying imageless. It was obvious that the scene in front of them was the work of these two people.

Upon noticing the footsteps, Li Xiujing turned over and hugged Pei Jiaoran. He closed his eyes slightly and glanced in the direction of the passerby. Sure enough, he shouldn't have agreed to her drinking and boxing together. Both of them were so drunk right now.

Li Xiujing was thinking when there were footsteps approaching. When he opened his eyes, Pei Zhanran had already arrived.

"What are you two doing?" Pei Zhanran frowned.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes and said lazily: "I'll come back and stay with you to celebrate the New Year. It's him who dug out the wine, not me."

"Pei Jiaoran, do you think I am a three-year-old child? Who else but you can know where I buried my wine." Pei Zhanran glared at Pei Jiaoran, "Get up quickly, don't catch a cold."

Pei Jiaoran reluctantly got up from the ground and straightened the messy clothes. Then he looked at Li Xiujing, who was still lying on the ground, and smiled slightly, "Get up and watch the New Year."

A carp stood up from the ground. Li Xiujing glanced at Pei Zhanran and said with a smile, "Hello, brother Zhanran."

"You are the one who spoils her and comes here with her in the middle of the night." Pei Zhanran flicked the charcoal basin a little brighter, "I have already said that I will stay up late, why are you two standing here?"

Pei Jiaoran laughed and walked to the corridor. Sit cross-legged and support your chin with your hands. He looked at the two people still standing in front of the court with interest.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Pei Jiaoran finally fell asleep, swept away by sleep.

"Tsk, she fell asleep just after the birth." Pei Zhanran shook his head, "Can you carry her in?"

As soon as Pei Zhanran opened his mouth, he found that Li Xiujing had already walked over, picked up Pei Jiaoran and walked towards the house.

Li Xiujing put Pei Jiaoran down, and she suddenly opened her eyes.

With his misty eyes open, Pei Jiaoran yawned and said leisurely, "I thought you planned to stand outside all night."

"Are you pretending to sleep?" Li Xiujing gathered her clothes and sat beside the bed, his eyes wandering over her body.

"I am indeed drunk." Pei Jiaoran reached out and hooked Li Xiujing's neck, "How about we go to Wushan together?"

Li Xiujing lowered his head and kissed her, his movements gentle and loving. But after kissing for a long time, he let go of her with a look of dismay on his face.

"Oh, what's wrong?" Pei Jiaoran hooked his hand on Li Xiujing's neck and said slowly.

"I..." Li Xiujing looked troubled, with drunkenness in his eyes, "I drank too much and can't get hard."

The last four words are as thin as a mosquito's whisper.

Looking at Li Xiujing who looked depressed, Pei Jiaoran burst into laughter. When she smiled like this, Li Xiujing's expression became even more depressed.

"What's so funny. Go to sleep." Li Xiujing lay beside Pei Jiaoran with her clothes on, and pulled the quilt to cover them both.

I never thought that there would suddenly be an extra hand on my body, and what was even more terrible was that the hand was moving down a little bit. Before Li Xiujing could react, he was suddenly pinched.

"Pei Jiaoran!"

"It's boring to be so weak." Pei Jiaoran cast a sidelong glance at Li Xiujing and quickly turned her back to him.

Looking at the culprit, Li Xiujing took a deep breath. He stretched out his long arms and took Pei Jiaoran into his arms. His hot body pressed tightly against hers.

After all, the two of them drank several jars of wine and became drunk. Fall down and go to sleep.

They slept until three o'clock in the morning before they got up. I ate my morning meal and lunch together and set off straight back to Chang'an.

Chang'an City is still lively.

Looking at the Zhuque Sect in front of him, Pei Jiaoran pursed his lips. On the way back, the two met people sent by the Li family to look for them. He said there was something going on in the palace and asked the two of them to return to Li's house quickly.

He quickly dismounted and threw the whip to the servant. The two strode into Li's house and saw Li Sikong sitting with a worried look on his face.

Looking at Li Sikong's expression, Pei Jiaoran thought in his eyes.

"Let's talk in another place." Li Sikong said calmly.

The two of them followed Li Sikong to the study. Li Sikong also ordered the guards in the mansion to keep strict guard.

"There is news from Jianghuai. There is a civil unrest in eastern Zhejiang. In addition, the imperial court intends to recruit Huan Qi, the observation envoy from western Zhejiang, to join the court." Li Sikong looked at Pei Jiaoran and said thoughtfully: "But he has not recruited him to the court several times before. There is a promise. Most likely it won’t come this time.”

"I remember that when Duke Changli was still there, the imperial court had recruited him three times, but he always used illness as an excuse. This time, I'm afraid the imperial court will send someone and he won't come back." Pei Jiaoran took a sip of tea and said, "Han Huang has soldiers under his command. Not to mention food, but Huan Qi, as a clan member, not only has soldiers and food, but also controls the world's wine and water transportation. Who came up with this idea."

"Jia Gonglu. Huan Qi has repeatedly presented rare treasures to His Majesty, so he has gained His Majesty's trust. I met him many years ago. He was already domineering at that time, and he is even more domineering now. If the imperial court wants him to enter the court, it is tantamount to seizing power. "Li Sikong frowned slightly.

"So I'm sure he won't come this time. If you don't tell Huan Qi in advance, what's going on in eastern Zhejiang?" Pei Jiaoran looked solemn.

Eastern Zhejiang and western Zhejiang are the main sources of taxes for the imperial court. If either side falls into the war, it will not be of any benefit to Jianghuai and even the world. Huan Qi kept it quiet for the time being. She guessed that the civil unrest in eastern Zhejiang was related to excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

"The matter in eastern Zhejiang was picked by a private salt dealer. They captured Xiangshan half a month ago and have now reached Shan County. The news was only delivered to the emperor today." Li Sikong's voice was slow.

Pei Jiaoran's brows furrowed even more when he stopped talking. Logically speaking, if such a situation occurs, the local observation envoy must rush 800 miles to Chang'an to deliver the message. But it was delayed until half a month later before the letter was sent to Chang'an.

"Someone wants to take credit for this." Li Xiujing frowned and made a conclusion.

"You'd better not quell the chaos this time." Pei Jiaoran glanced at Li Xiujing. "In the final analysis, civil chaos is caused by the unbearable suffering of the people. And the first wave of anger of those who suffer is often accompanied by infamy. .”

"Then who do you think should go?"

The Li family father and son asked at the same time.

"Let the Zuo Army go. Bai Zhizhen is eager to perform meritorious service to consolidate his position in the Zuo Army, and I'm afraid there are many people in the Zuo Army who want to prove that they are more capable than the Right Army." Pei Jiaoran said in a long voice, "Besides, things like that in eastern Zhejiang The situation is such that it is not appropriate to do too much. But the rebellion can still be suppressed. The counter-rebellion requires force on one hand, but more importantly, it is the comfort in the later period. All living beings suffer. Why not let them be the vanguard?"

Jia Gonglu, Zhang Rang? Pei Jiaoran raised the corners of her lips with a cold expression. She knew that the plan of these two people was just to use this opportunity to suppress her and place their people in the household department. But what they miss is that there is never a real winner at this poker table.

"According to this, someone from the palace has to invite us." Li Xiujing glanced at Pei Jiaoran, "Do you want to go back first?"

"Yeah. Anyway, I won't stop you if you want to go, but I don't think His Majesty will send you there." Pei Jiaoran glanced at Li Xiujing with envy and meaning, "You know, the Shence Army is the emperor's forbidden army after all. It is always a bad thing to have more personal prestige than the actual owner.”
