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

Midsummer is hot. Even though the camp is close to the Yangtze River, in the middle of the night with no wind, it still makes people feel hot all over. Li Xiujing, who had returned from bathing with Feng Yuanxian, was sitting in front of the desk looking up military records. He wore only a single coat, with his sleeves rolled up to the elbows.

Pei Jiaoran, who came back from Zhou Mancao, glanced at Li Xiujing, took off his coat and threw it on the screen. Her wet hair had long been blown dry by the night breeze. She sat on the edge of the couch and twirled the ends of her hair with her fingers. Looking at the figure cast on the screen, he slightly curled his lips.

After sitting for a while, Pei Jiaoran lay down on his back.

As soon as she lay down, Li Xiujing came over. He stood in front of the couch, looking down at her. The silk singlet has narrow sleeves and a waist-cinching fit, and the body is cut in a tight fit. The hard muscles and bones are hidden under the soft fabric. However, despite this, you can also feel the power hidden underneath. I haven't seen Li Xiujing in nearly two months. His body is even darker in color, like gold foil melted by hot flames, and his whole body is exuding vigorous heat.

As if he was distracted by the scorching heat, Pei Jiaoran closed his eyes and turned around, saying calmly: "Aren't you hot? I'm hot, don't get too close to me."

She kicked the quilt aside, took a piece of instant noodles in her hand, and covered her face. The cuffs of the gauze dress she wore were wide and thin, and the skirt was slightly open, revealing half of the silver-breasted auburn waist and her delicate skin.

Realizing that Li Xiujing's eyes were on him, Pei Jiaoran pulled the quilt over him. I moved a little further inside and came out with most of the space empty. He looked like he didn't want to get too close to him.

After laughing, Li Xiujing lay down obediently. Putting his hands behind his head, he said, "Why do you suddenly want to suppress bandits?"

"Ha." Pei Jiaoran turned around, still closing his eyes. Shaking instant noodles in her hand, she said, "These people are all forced to become bandits. I want to suppress the bandits, and I also want to use them to understand the water transportation of Jianghuai and the situation of the temple." As if thinking of something, she smiled, "Speaking of which, you have to thank them. If they hadn't robbed my ship, I would have gone directly to Yangzhou."

Li Xiujing tilted his head, "Are you a little anxious to leave Zhongshu Province just after you were promoted to Minister of Public Affairs?" He knew that Pei Jiaoran's trip was probably not for him, but he still tried to find traces of himself in her heart. . After all, the two were allies in the same boat, and he didn't want her to leave him out of her plans. In particular, he wanted to remind her whether she should cash in on some political rewards now that she was promoted to the position of Vice Minister of Zhongshu.

"There are risks, of course. But my appointment as Jianghuai Salt and Iron Transporter will bring more rewards." Pei Jiaoran fiddled with the tassels on his noodles, "You have also seen the reason why Huan Qi refused to resign. Salt and Iron Transporter has always been Many people are looking at the fat vacancy. But there are eunuchs in the salt courtyards everywhere, and they embezzle the salt profits in the name of Jinfeng. I intend to return the salt and iron to Duzhi. Without the Jinfeng of the Salt Yuan, Zhang Rang will no longer How can you do it? There is no way to directly make money from Zuozang. There is another thing you need to know."

"what?"

"Before I left Chang'an, Yushitai had already taken action. At present, most of the left Shen Ce who occupied the army have been laid off. As for Right Shen Ce, they will not move for the time being. You can rest assured about this." Pei Jiaoran licked his lips. road.

It was a pleasure to cooperate with the Li family, so she naturally wanted to ensure that the status of this ally was strong. After all, it is not easy to place people in the forbidden army like You Shence. So she was still happy to fight for his interests appropriately. Only in this way can the interests be fairly divided.

"Then I still have to thank you." Li Xiujing took the opportunity to turn around and kiss her on the face, "Jiajia, I miss you."

Pei Jiaoran smiled after hearing this, "I'm tired from traveling and traveling, and I feel exhausted. Don't make trouble with me."

Her voice was lazy, but seemed to have a natural sense of bewitchment. Li Xiujing simply turned over, supporting half of her body with her hands. Shrouding her in shadow.

"But I want to make trouble."

"Don't you have anything else you need my help with?" Pei Jiaoran put his hand on Li Xiujing's throat and stopped him from lowering his head. There was mist in Peach Blossom's eyes, but her actions were rational.

Pei Jiaoran clearly separates the two things of lust and desire for power. She seemed to be able to withdraw from the ultimate joy at any time and find her reason. Admittedly, she didn't meet him because she wanted to use the Shence Army to suppress bandits. But she wanted to convey the news about Chang'an to him, so that the two of them could make plans.

"I know everything about Dou Ji. If you want to get rid of him, you have to find a suitable way." Pei Jiaoran said with a smile, "Without the eyeliner, it will be difficult to support another person in the short term. What's more, because Are you willing to sacrifice so many comrades in the army because of his greed for merit? Erlang, if you want to completely control Youshence, this is a good opportunity."

Li Xiujing didn't say anything after hearing this. After all, he fell in love with Youshence halfway. Those people in the past may have been loyal to Lieutenant Liu, but not necessarily loyal to him. In the final analysis, Lieutenant Shence and Zhonghujun are the owners of Shence Army. No matter how he arranges it, he may not be able to make Shence Army a sharp sword in his hands. Unless it's to remove things that shouldn't exist.

He knew what Pei Jiaoran was planning, and it was a lie to say that he did not want to completely control the Shence Army. But looking at Pei Jiaoran like this, he will not let him fully take advantage of it. She must have her own agenda. But now he just wanted to stay with her for a while. Li Xiujing smiled and put his fingers on her waist, "I know Jiajia is the kindest person. Now I am trapped in a sea of ​​evil and love. I wonder if you are willing to save me?"

"To ferry you? The Buddha had to bring incense and accumulate money to ferry people." His eyes turned to Li Xiujing, and Pei Jiaoran said, "What do you have on your body?"

"It won't be a fish in the cauldron anyway." Li Xiujing brushed away her hand that was on his throat and trapped her hands in his palms. He intertwined his fingers through hers, "Naturally it will satisfy you."

"This is a military camp. It's not good to make too much noise. Besides, Bi Fei is here." Pei Jiaoran's eyes flickered, "Why don't you think about how to explain to Bi Fei?"

Sensing the subtle changes in Li Xiujing, Pei Jiaoran's smile grew heavier. Taking advantage of his daze, he bent his legs and kicked him lightly. When the other party didn't react, he kicked him away from his side expressionlessly. He picked up the instant noodles again and covered his face.

"Don't make trouble, I'm tired." Pei Jiaoran's voice was calm.

After saying that, no matter what Li Xiujing did, Pei Jiaoran turned over and faced him. Her long hair was spread out on the pillow.

The night was long and difficult for both of them.

The sound of military drills reached my ears. The heat around him had disappeared, and it was obvious that Li Xiujing had been gone for a long time. However, the scent of Xun Lingxiang still lingered on the pillow.

After getting dressed, Pei Jiaoran left the camp and followed the sound towards the school grounds.
