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

The discussion outside the tent suddenly stopped, followed by the sound of footsteps leaving one after another. Turning his head and looking outside the curtain, Pei Jiaoran curled his lips, turned over, and lowered his eyes slightly.

The sound of deliberately slowed down footsteps reached his ears from far to near. Pei Jiaoran blinked. In fact, Li Xiujing's current situation is still quite passive. No matter from her perspective or from Emperor Wei's perspective, she would not want Li Xiujing's path to go too smoothly or his status to be too high. And Li Sikong also knew this, so he refused her proposal to bring a message.

Now the life and death of the Li family, honor and disgrace, all depend on Li Xiujing, and he is destined to be inseparable from the Shence Army. If he couldn't get out of the crisis this time, there was no point in helping him.

The footsteps stopped beside the bed, and Li Xiujing lowered his head and looked at Pei Jiaoran. This person knew clearly that he had seen her, yet he still pretended to be sleeping here. It's really annoying.

"Prime Minister Pei." Li Xiujing called.

"Huh?" Pei Jiaoran turned around and slowly opened his eyes, smiling calmly, "What's wrong?"

"Aren't you hungry? I asked He Liang to prepare the meal." Li Xiujing stared at Pei Jiaoran, who was smiling in front of him, with a gentle expression.

He knew that she heard the conversation just now, but she chose to pretend not to know. She looked at him with a calm face, but did not take the initiative to reach out to him. It was as if he was waiting for him to ask her for advice so that she could benefit from it.

Putting his hand on her lips, Li Xiujing said, "You just heard so much, don't you have anything to say?"

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran stopped putting on his shoes, brushed his black hair away from his shoulders, and looked at Li Xiujing with narrowed eyes, "What?"

Even though he knew what was going on, he still pretended to be dumbfounded. Li Xiujing suddenly smiled.

"Zhang Rang arranged too many spies, and I want to get rid of them all. What do Jiajia think?" Li Xiujing pulled Pei Jiaoran across the screen and sat down in front of the table.

Glancing at the letters piled on the desk, Pei Jiaoran remained silent, seeming to be thinking.

"If the water is clear, there will be no fish. If the fish are gone, how can we survive? In the past, Cao Cao did not kill everyone in Yuan Shaoji's room." Pei Jiaoran stroked the dark lines on his sleeves and smiled: "Everyone has desires. , and avoiding danger is instinctive. Everything must have a degree, and as for what level you want to reach, it all depends on the layout of the person himself. "

Some things should not be overdone or overdone. Who will do the work? Who is willing to do the work?

"My family is a heroine and sage." Li Xiujing said warmly.

Pei Jiaoran smiled and said nothing when he heard the words "heroine and sage". He seemed to enjoy the compliment quite a bit. The corners of her lips were slightly curved. She knew that Li Xiujing said that on purpose and wanted to see what she would say.

After deciphering Li Xiujing's idea, she pointed out the method of cracking it, but it was actually just for the sake of profit. Li Xiujing doesn't have to go too smoothly, but at least now she has to ensure that his position is stable.

As he was talking, He Liang opened the curtain and entered. Seeing Li Xiujing patiently peeling off water chestnuts for Pei Jiaoran, I couldn't help but smile.

"The general's hands are really skillful." He Liang put down the food box and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Xiujing raised her eyes and glared at him, humming softly: "Huan Xuanwu has guests, and I have Jiajia. Peeling off a few water chestnuts is nothing?"

He Liang shook his head and left. You looked like you couldn't bear to see him like this.

Looking at the tender white water chestnuts in the bowl, Pei Jiaoran twisted a piece of water chestnut and bit it. The sweet juice burst between her lips and teeth, stimulating her taste buds.

"How?" Li Xiujing asked with a smile.

"It's quite sweet."

After the meal, the two of them took a walk in the camp to eat. It wasn't until an hour later that he returned to his tent, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

The two lay side by side. After a while, Li Xiujing turned around and looked at Pei Jiaoran. She will leave tomorrow, and I don't know when I can go find her. The feeling of sadness suddenly came to my heart. He leaned forward and kissed her lips.

The river breeze blew on the tent, and the night was as cool as water. His movements were even more fiery than yesterday, and like the waves on the riverside, he slapped Pei Jiaoran towards the shore. Li Xiujing controlled his strength and was full of skill, showing his eager side to her in the dark and wet. As soon as she stepped back, he immediately chased after her and continued to demand. She snuggled into his arms and sighed, stroking Li Xiujing's back with her fingers, receiving the strength and gentle words from him.

"I will personally take you to Yangzhou tomorrow." Li Xiujing left early.

Once she goes to Yangzhou, it may take some time for the two of them to meet again. Especially since she may be surrounded by danger. He wanted to go with her, but now was not the time. He only hoped that everything would go well during her trip.

Pei Jiaoran lowered his eyes and nodded.

Pei Jiaoran woke up early. Although she was scheduled to leave after noon, she still had some things to pack, and there were also documents to sort out. So she woke up quite early.

When Li Xiujing came back from training, Pei Jiaoran was already dressed and sitting in front of the case. The pen strokes across the rice paper.

"What are you doing?" Li Xiujing came over and saw her drawing a picture, and asked in surprise: "You actually understand this?"

"Since I had this idea, I naturally thought about everything. But I still need to see it on the ground. The matter of digging the canal is not a trivial matter." Pei Jiaoran put down his pen and smiled slightly.

Although she has experience digging canals in Guazhou and building water conservancy in Tongzhou, the terrain conditions in the three places are different. It is still necessary to conduct on-site surveys before digging a channel to connect the canal.

The proposal to leave after noon was also because Pei Jiaoran intended to reward Ce to appease the gods. Although the suppression of the bandits was her impromptu idea and gave Li Xiujing a benefit, in the end she still used the power of the Shence Army. As a thank you, it is appropriate to express your gratitude.

At the banquet, there was a lot of drinking and drinking, and everyone at the banquet was happy.

After three drinks, Pei Jiaoran stood up and left the table. Li Xiujing also followed her on horseback out of the camp and crossed to Xijin.

The ferry crossing is at Xijin, and there is an endless stream of ships coming and going on the river.

"Do you really want to send me across the river in person?" Pei Jiaoran stood on the walking boat and looked at Li Xiujing with a smile.

"It's not that far anyway. It doesn't matter if I see you off." Li Xiujing jumped on the boat and glanced at the boat behind her, "Is there anyone to pick you up when you get to Yangzhou?"

"Yes. Those people from the Ministry of Industry have been in Yangzhou for three days. I didn't disturb anyone else during this trip. Let's wait until we get to Yangzhou." Pei Jiaoran looked at the surging river, and suddenly a cry came into his ears.

Looking for the sound, I saw an old man and an old woman arguing. The two boats were far apart, and only the word "Yin Si" could be vaguely heard.

"It's not uncommon for people to be bewitched by obscene sacrifices. It's not uncommon for people to neglect their fields and worship obscene sacrifices." Pei Jiaoran seemed to have remembered something and snorted coldly, "This obscene sacrifice is also annoying."

"Law worship is nostalgia. If you want to deal with it, it's not easy." Li Xiujing said thoughtfully.

"It's not a bad idea for me to sit on a mountain and watch the tigers fight."
