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

Pei Jiaoran did not enter the boundary of Haozhou, but retreated to the Huaihe River.

The morning breeze ruffled the river water, and the huge building boat and the walking boat stopped on the shore, rising and falling in the blue waves. There was a fire cooking on the boat, and smoke rose from the stern of the boat.

Lying on the bamboo rocking chair, Pei Jiaoran covered his face with his sleeves. After learning that the Haozhou arsenal was stolen, she discussed it with Li Xiujing. He wanted to replace all the guards on her floor with his personal guards from the Shence Army. But Li Xiujing said no.

This was all arranged by He Liang before, but after Li Xiujing said this, she understood. Why was this person so unscrupulous when entering her place? It turned out that the area was already occupied by his people. No wonder he dared to come to her every day.

Hearing footsteps approaching, Pei Jiaoran turned over and faced the person.

"I didn't mean to hide it from you." Li Xiujing sat down next to Pei Jiaoran and touched her lightly. With a smile on his face, "When did Mr. Pei become so petty?"

Seeing that Pei Jiaoran didn't move at all, Li Xiujing sighed, "It's my fault. I shouldn't hide it from you. If you are really angry, you can do whatever you want me to do."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran stood up suddenly and stared directly at Li Xiujing, with a smile on his lips.

"Don't worry. I'm not angry with you. I'm just wondering when Wei Gao will come." After saying that, Pei Jiaoran got up and walked to the side of the boat.

Three days have passed since the theft of the Haozhou arsenal. According to her calculations, Wei Gao should have arrived, and there should be a reply from Chang'an.

Walking to Pei Jiaoran and standing shoulder to shoulder with her, Li Xiujing clicked her tongue, "According to the distance, there should be news in these two days. But Jiajia, do you think His Majesty will give you the result you want?" "

"It's not important. As long as your Majesty can ensure that others will not do anything wrong, I will be satisfied." Pei Jiaoran's tone was as calm as ever.

She knew that Emperor Wei would have his own considerations, so she didn't expect things to go as she expected from the beginning. Looking up into the distance, a sneer appeared on her lips.

At this time, the Haozhou Governor's Mansion was in another scene.

Yuan Gongtai on the high pavilion was leaning on the railing and looking into the distance. The autumn sun fell on his face, making the green and black under his eyes even more eye-catching.

"There is news from Chang'an."

Yuan Gongtai turned around and saw Jiang Sheng walking towards him with a happy face. He hurriedly stood up to greet him.

The attendant on the side immediately served tea upon seeing this. Jiang Sheng took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Zhang Jujuan said that the theft of the arsenal will be directly investigated by Wei Gao. As for Pei Jiaoran, he can only interfere with the affairs of the Yin Temple. In addition, the Shence Army in western Zhejiang will also withdraw."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Gongtai frowned and said: "Your Majesty, your words don't mean that Pei Jiaoran will enter Haozhou? What's the point of withdrawing the Shence Army? There are still soldiers from Yangzhou to follow."

"Gongtai. What should we fear from the soldiers of a hundred states?" Jiang Sheng shook his head and said with a smile: "In front of the people's power, it is not worth mentioning."

"Sigh. Having said that, there is still Wei Gao." Yuan Gongtai sighed, "In the current situation, if I were to get involved, it would be more than worth the loss."

Although he had not yet faced Pei Jiaoran face to face, he still vaguely felt the domineering behavior of the other party.

"Gongtai, don't worry." Jiang Sheng patted Yuan Gongtai's shoulder eagerly, "We are not rebelling, we are sharing your Majesty's worries. For her own selfish interests, she blocked His Majesty's inner treasury, and then blocked Everyone's financial future. Can you bear it? Besides, she made Jianghuai a mess, and there are many people who hate her. Your Majesty has no need to attack the entire Jianghuai because of her death. Then you will blame the prostitute. , Your Majesty won’t say anything.”

"Oh. I'll be clear with you again. I'm actually here at your Majesty's request. Your Majesty also feels that Pei Jiaoran's various behaviors are self-enhancing, and he is already disgusted. But with the current situation of Jianghuai, she has to do it. . If I can solve this problem, I may not be unable to enter Taiwan when I take the exam tomorrow."

Seeing Yuan Gongtai's brows relax, Jiang Sheng changed his tone and continued: "Gongtai, you can continue to close the city gate and search. Wait until it's almost done, then open the city gate to welcome Pei Jiaoran in. At that time, the Shence Army has also left, so The people she brought with her were not enough to support her."

After saying this, Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "I am here for the Salt Academy. I won't stay here any longer. I'll say goodbye."

After coming out of Zhoushe, Jiang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Yuan Gongtai would retreat. Fortunately, this man was also greedy for profit.

The young chamberlain beside him helped Jiang Sheng get into the car. When the car was far away, he whispered: "Guixun, let's leave like this. What if he betrays you? "

"Huh, betrayal? Who doesn't know why Haozhou's obscenity temple is so difficult to demolish, and it's not because of his tacit approval." Jiang Sheng smiled sinisterly, "If he wants to have a smooth career, he has to deal with Pei Jiaoran. To Otherwise, the butcher's knife will fall on him. I just said that just to add a little more temptation to him, so that he can be more ruthless when he acts."

"It's better to be noble. In this way, no one will suspect Zhang Jujun. We can continue to live a good life."

Hearing this, Jiang Sheng smiled and said nothing. Who to blame? The only person to blame was Pei Jiaoran himself, who walked too hastily. Not everything can be moved by her.

Two days later, there was still calm on the Huai River, and impatience appeared on the faces of the accompanying sergeants. There was no news from Zhou Mancao and Bi Fei in Haozhou City. The news in the entire Haozhou seemed to be isolated due to the closing of the city gate.

The sergeant's complaints were carried by the wind into the window cabin, and Pei Jiaoran stood quietly in front of the window.

The sergeants have all complained in the past few days, but the Shence Army has been able to restrain themselves. She has also personally come forward to comfort the soldiers in Yangzhou several times. Together with the Shence Army, they were promised rewards. This stabilized their emotions.

"Do we have to wait any longer?" Li Xiujing opened the curtain and came in to look at Pei Jiaoran and asked.

"Why don't you wait. The unknown is the same as the crisis. It's not worth taking risks in this situation." Pei Jiaoran stroked the pattern of Baoxiang flowers on the edge of the mirror, "And I think Wei Gao is coming soon."

There is certainly a way out of a difficult situation, but when it comes to political interests, compromise and compromise are the most common options. Especially when there is an opponent in the dark, fighting hard is equivalent to a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

Li Xiujing said: "What if he just came to take a look?"

"No. He will definitely talk to me." Pei Jiaoran said with a smile on his lips, "If he doesn't talk to me, it will not end well in the future."

After all, Haozhou is a state under his rule. If the state governor neglects his duties, as a supervisor, he has an unshirkable responsibility.

"Aye sent me a letter quickly. Your Majesty wants me to return to the court immediately, but..." Li Xiujing stopped talking and thought for a while: "Shizhong Cen said that I should act according to the opportunity."

"Act according to the opportunity? Cen Xi is worried that I will stay here and let you think of ways to slow down my return." Pei Jiaoran sighed slightly, "Wait until Wei Gao comes and see his attitude. If his attitude satisfies me, you It’s time for the class teacher to go back.”

"But you..."

"There is no need to go together even if the wind and waves are high."

At the same time, a small boat came in the sun.
