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

The storm will stop after the storm. Pei Jiaoran glanced at Li Xiujing, who was lying on the couch, got up and walked to the clean room behind the screen. Her eyes were all wet, and her coat had long since fallen to the ground and was lying on the damp ground.

After closing his eyes and enduring for a while, Pei Jiaoran turned his head and looked at Li Xiujing who was sitting beside the couch.

"Go right out of the courtyard gate and pass by a corridor. There is a courtyard at the end of the corridor with a square well inside. Go get water."

Hearing this, Li Xiujing stood up and walked to the screen. The silk embroidered screen obscured everything. The rolling mountains, dyed with green and green embroidery threads, go up from Yingying's ankles, overlapping and undulating. Soft clouds fell on the waist, and birds greeted the sun and surrounded the slightly rising edge. The sun is as red as rouge. I wonder if it was due to his greed and loss of control before that it turned into this color. It has not faded to this day. Everything he could see was trapped in a blur, and there was a hint of frivolity.

After saying "good", Li Xiujing walked away consciously.

After a brief cleaning, Li Xiujing lit the candle again. Looking at the sparkling candlelight on the curtain, Pei Jiaoran blinked. The patter of rain outside the window reached my ears, accompanied by the sound of thunder. It tells about the tenderness of the south of the Yangtze River.

The majestic heavy rain washed away the old battlefield of power and poured water on the earth, revealing the broken halberds buried in the soil. Those who had witnessed the struggle between Jingkou and Jiankang appeared one by one in front of her. They were once in the hands of a wealthy family, and then disappeared from sight for many years. But they are still lurking in the world, spying on everything in the world, waiting for opportunities to act. Now Li Xiujing helped her dig these things out of the soil and handed them to her for her to use as much as she wanted.

Looking at Li Xiujing's shadow on the screen. Pei Jiaoran curled his lips, do you care about him? Rather than caring about him, she cares more about the benefits he can bring. In short, some answers cannot be explained too clearly. She chose his embrace and his warmth, so it was not an answer.

But even so, she had to try her best to maintain restraint and sobriety in such an embrace.

After washing, Li Xiujing walked over softly. Although he knew that Pei Jiaoran was pretending to sleep. He lifted a corner of the curtain and got in, catching a glimpse of the corner of his robe that occupied his territory. He is on his back

Lie down and just press that corner of your clothes. Turning around and looking at Pei Jiaoran's back.

The corner of his clothes was pressed down by Li Xiujing and he couldn't pull it out. Pei Jiaoran opened his eyes and closed them again, determined to endure it for the time being. Her hair was scattered randomly on the pillow, exposing a section of her neck.

The cut of her neck was so eye-catching that Li Xiujing couldn't help but move closer and blew on the back of her neck.

Pei Jiaoran didn't want to pay attention to Li Xiujing, but he couldn't bear the itching. She turned her head and glared at him, the corners of her mouth curled up intentionally or unintentionally.

Looking at Pei Jiaoran's face, Li Xiujing said: "Little fox, what are you thinking about?"

Clouds on temples and fragrant cheeks.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said nothing.

But Li Xiujing wanted to talk to Pei Jiaoran for a few more words, so he hugged her with his arms and rested his chin on her head, "Aren't you curious about what they want me to do?"

Pei Jiaoran said in a lazy tone, "Tell me what you think. Let me see if you think the same as me."

"It is said that during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a god dug a spring in Beigu Mountain in Jingkou, and the spring only produced gold and silver. In order to prevent people from entering the mountain and stealing, a blindfold was set up at the spring. When Xi Jian heard about such strange things, he led his troops I came here to find out." Hearing a slight sneer from his arms, Li Xiujing squeezed Pei Jiaoran and said, "Did I speak well? Pei Qingjia, don't let your mind wander."

"Xi Jian led his Jingkou army into Beigu Mountain in a mighty manner. Although Jingkou was the territory of the Xi family, after all, it was not just the Xi family that had soldiers at that time. When Xi Jian arrived with his troops, he discovered that there was another There were also soldiers and horses ambushing here. The leader was Wang Dun's people. When the two parties met, they were naturally at war with each other. But after all, Jingkou was the territory of the Xi family, and the Wang family did not dare to take action. In this way, the two parties remained in a stalemate until dark. .”

"At this moment, an old man with a white beard and the head of a human and the body of a tiger appeared in front of everyone out of thin air, uttering human words. He said that he was from the fox tribe who came here to take refuge in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms. He smelled that there was nobility and came here, so he came here specially to have a look. Look. Seeing that the two parties were at war with each other, he asked them what was the reason for the dispute? Xi Jian sighed, there is a treasure spring that cannot be seen. The Wang family also sighed and said, there is a treasure spring that cannot be seen. After hearing this, the fox said to the two of them, what's the problem? ? All you have to do is give your essence and blood to me, and I will break the confusion for you. Xi Jian and the Wang family all bled to raise foxes."

"The fox got the blood bait and turned into an old man with a white beard. Looking left and right, he saw Xi Jian and the Wang family all looking eager, and he smiled. Then he pulled out the hairpin and cut the mountain in two. All he saw was the spring wrapped in it. They came out with the jewels, half of them flocked to the Wang family, and the other half to Xi Jian. But when the two people saw one more and one less treasure, they hurriedly asked how could it be like this. The fox nodded thoughtfully, and opened the mountains and springs again, but It’s still the Xi family that’s more and the Wang family’s that’s less. The Wang family asked how could this be so!"

"When the fox heard this, he repeated his old trick and opened the mountain again and transferred money to the Wang family. Repeated several times, the Wang family finally got the same wealth as the Xi family. The Wang family happily moved the treasure and was about to leave, when suddenly a gust of evil wind blew. Xi Jian and others hurriedly hid. When the wind stopped, they found that the Wang family members and their treasures had turned into stones. The fox, who had been kind-hearted just now, was staring at Xi Jian fiercely. Ask him, these are all the things I have accumulated from hundreds of families. Why do you take our wealth? Mr. Xi, if you don’t leave, you will become like them. Chongxuan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty also stayed away from foxes and ghosts. Having learned from the past, I will lead my people to leave this place immediately."

Pei Jiaoran suddenly smiled, "Xi Jian and Wang Dun are at odds. They left the town of Jingkou to punish each other. Which of the wealthy families in Jingkou now has Xi Jian's ability? I don't know what Huan Qi was like in the past, and I don't care. I'm just here for the salt. Court, the rest can be discussed.”

"The Xi family has been running Jingkou for more than 40 years, and both father and son generations have guarded this place. But when it fell into the hands of the grandson Xi Jinbin, it was snatched away by Huan Xuanwu." Li Xiujing smiled and hugged Pei Jiaoran, "But Huan Xuanwu didn't treat Xi Jinbin well. Bo, let him command the imperial army. Treat him as his confidant. I will go with you on this Jiajia road, right?"

Li Xiujing carefully tested it and put his hands around her waist. Clearly feel the pulsation of her blood and the slight rise and fall of her breathing. He actually wanted to ask how she planned to encroach on the salt profit and how to find a balance between the center and the Shence Army. And where is he in her chess game.

But he really didn't know how to ask these words. The two seem to have the same interests, but upon closer inspection they still have their own positions. He is in charge of the imperial army, while she is an important official of the foreign court and a secret lover. She said that love and power are two different things, and they are clearly distinguished. If he asked a question like that, she wouldn't give him an answer. Without an answer, it will lead to deeper doubts. If the answer is too certain, it will easily hurt the interests of both parties.

So no matter how you choose, for any party. There may be harm and embarrassment.

He knew that it was difficult for her to reach this point, and every step was like walking on thin ice. After regaining Chang'an, her body became much thinner than before. Fighting for wealth with the eunuchs, fighting with the feudal town, and implementing the New Deal consumed a lot of her energy. Even getting to the position of Zhongshu's Minister was achieved through repeated games. If the situation really didn't allow it, he would have wanted to be by her side all the time.

"In the past, Huan Xuanwu served Xi as his guest. If Erlang is willing to join me, I will naturally be happy." Pei Jiaoran looked at Li Xiujing and said with a full smile.

"Li Xiujing, let me make a bet with you."

"What are you gambling?"

"I bet Dou Ji won't survive tonight." Pei Jiaoran smiled meaningfully.
