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

When Pei Jiaoran came back from the city, it was almost dusk, and there was still the afterglow of the summer sun on the horizon. Although it is the end of August, the wind blowing on my body still brings the sultry heat. The clouds in the sky are like rolling clouds, as if they have wetted a corner of the clothes. The mountains meet the sky, the setting sun covers the water, and pieces of golden light envelope her.

Having lived in Shen Yuan for more than half a month, Pei Jiaoran was already familiar with the layout of Shen Yuan. With a confused look on her face, she walked through the hanging flower arch with familiarity and walked a few steps along the nine-curved covered bridge. Turn around and walk towards the white stone road hidden among thousands of green bamboos.

She took a shortcut. After walking for a while, we arrived at Green Field Hall, our temporary residence.

There were no lights in the room, so Pei Jiaoran looked around. There was no trace of Li Xiujing, so it was assumed that he had returned to Runzhou. He rummaged through the fire cabinet and took it out, lighting the lights in the room one by one.

The darkness instantly turned into the golden sea.

After walking behind the screen, Pei Jiaoran gently took off his clothes. The body is reflected on the curtain of the screen, hazy and ethereal, and the dim candlelight flickers slightly. She leaned over and took out a pair of silk shoes from under the low couch, kicked off her Liuhe boots, and felt much more relaxed. He lowered his head and picked up the belt around his waist, and threw it on the screen. The hook happened to catch the raised corner. The bent arms came out of the sleeves, and Dake Zi Ling's robe was peeled off from her body.

She took off her clothes freely, and her whole aura softened. The tall figure melted into the warm light, adding a little sense of temptation.

A slight sound came from the bed not far away. It seemed like someone stood up and walked towards her. The familiar and faint fragrance spreads in the house. Pei Jiaoran turned around and saw the tall and tall figure standing behind the screen, bending down to pick up the shaky belt.

"You are quite good at hiding." Pei Jiaoran stood barefoot on the carpet and stuck his head out, "How about you go get me some outer clothes?"

In her suitcase, she found a single-layer gauze shirt with a begonia red ice-cracked plum pattern. Li Xiujing walked around the screen holding her clothes and glanced at Pei Jiaoran up and down. The naked arm holds the bright moon above it, which makes people's eyes warm.

Wuzi walked behind Pei Jiaoran, and Li Xiujing put on the gauze shirt in her hand.

His strong arms fell on her waist, his warm body pressed against her, and his lips pressed against the side of her neck.

"I thought you were gone." Pei Jiaoran turned his head to avoid Li Xiujing's movement, and his hot lips entangled him again for a moment. His arms held her tighter.

"I can't bear to leave you." Li Xiujing immediately picked him up and walked to the bed. He held his waist with both hands, and his warm lips entangled his ears and neck, "Where did you go today?"

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran chuckled, "What can I do? I have to satisfy the prince as soon as possible."

Her fingers caressed the faint mustache on Li Xiujing's lips, moved to the corners of her lips, and then slid all the way to her Adam's apple. He smiled provocatively and pressed lightly.

As if being burned by her movements, Li Xiujing laughed away, grabbed Pei Jiaoran's hand and pulled it down her body. She was suddenly burned, causing her to lift her eyes and glare at him.

"Then how did you do?" Li Xiujing's lips fell on her shoulder.

With his hand imprisoned in Li Xiujing's palm, Pei Jiaoran could only let him do whatever he wanted to her and sighed, "If things don't go well, I probably won't be able to appear in front of you."

The conversation she had just now with Xuan Jing in prison had almost exhausted most of her energy. She underestimated Xuanjing's cultivation of Buddhist principles and was almost bypassed by him. In the end, she used the Buddhist allusion of feeding a tiger with her own body to force Xuanjing into a desperate situation.

"Hiss." Pei Jiaoran suddenly took a breath.

Li Xiujing stopped moving and looked down at her, catching a glimpse of a dark red color on her neck and a dim light in her eyes. He remembered that Xuanjing held her with a knife yesterday. Unexpectedly, it left scars, and he only found out about it now, and annoyance welled up in his heart.

Li Xiujing turned over and went to find a box of ointment in the cage.

He helped Pei Jiaoran stand up and held her in his arms. Li Xiujing picked up some ointment with her fingertips and spread it evenly on the wound.

"Do you know?" Li Xiujing asked suddenly.

"what?"

"When I saw Xuanjing holding you hostage with a knife, and the people were making noises about beating you, I couldn't wait to rush up and kill Xuanjing with a knife to vent my anger. Then I would send the troublemaking people to the state prison together." Li Xiujing's voice was muffled. , the hand around her waist tightened.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran licked his lips and said, "But you didn't. Your reason still dominated everything. Killing people out of anger is of no use. Liu Ju killed Jiang Chong out of anger and fell into the trap set by the Li family for him. , it’s really miserable.”

People who are carried away by anger and make mistakes. There are many examples in history books, but people as cautious as Huo Guang are rare.

"Then what was Xuanjing's reaction today?"

"I argued with him for a while, but I don't know if I persuaded him to show mercy. If he dies, then I can only be justified in taking action." Pei Jiaoran sighed and lay down, "After all, Buddhism has been preached for so many years. No. There is a legitimate reason, and any behavior will arouse their resistance."

She didn't want to be wiped out by the wrath of religion, so she needed a stable solution. Not only can the posthumous name not be criticized by some Buddhists, but also the world must be able to understand the essence of Buddhism.

"I have written to Feng Yuanxian today. He will bring someone here tomorrow. Just arrange whatever you want." Li Xiujing held Pei Jiaoran's hand, "Don't worry about me, I will find a way to stay for a while."

He knew that Pei Jiaoran would never let him return to Chang'an just because he couldn't bear to leave him. Jiangnan is not her territory, and what she wants to do is to offend others. With soldiers and horses by your side, you have a better chance of winning.

The other party's tall body came down and kissed her cheek gently again. The two fell into the tide again.

After cleaning for a while, Pei Jiaoran lay down with his eyes closed. She was not wearing a gauze shirt, most of her skin was exposed outside the myrobalan, and her hands were folded in front of her abdomen.

It's great to have Li Xiujing by your side. But she didn't want him to interfere too much. Interests are limited, and people also have selfish motives. Selfishness determines how much the interests are divided. With Li Xiujing's current status, the interests she can divide will become extremely limited.

After all, once the interests reach the point where they cannot be divided, they will become competing for interests. It's just that after working together for so long, it would be a lie to say that she has no love for him. But if one's own interests are threatened by the other party, that's another matter.

Pei Jiaoran turned his head and looked at Li Xiujing's approaching figure through the gauze curtain, and blinked. He suppressed the sharp blade hidden in his eyes.

His love was too heavy and she didn't dare to accept it completely. The only thing he can do is to spread the benefits as much as possible so that he seems to have a greater chance of winning.

"What are you thinking about?" Li Xiujing lifted the curtain and lay down beside her.

Wenwen Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "I want to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Do you want to stay and spend it with me?"

"Okay." Li Xiujing smiled.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
