"Right now, Yuan Gongtai is closed due to the theft of the arsenal, and no entry or exit is allowed. If so many of us want to go in, I'm afraid it will be difficult. From my point of view, it is better for someone to enter the city first and stabilize Yuan Gongtai. After ascertaining the truth, Pei will It won't be too late for Mr. Xian to enter Haozhou again," Wei Gao said.

Pei Jiaoran bowed his head when he heard the words, "Now that there is an imperial edict, if Yuan Gongtai remains closed, it will be a rebellion. I had previously sent people to sneak into Haozhou to inquire about the situation of the prostitution temple. Now that Haozhou has closed the city, there have been no visits for several days. When the news came, I couldn't help but worry. As for safety, I have two hundred sergeants accompanying me on this trip. There is no need to trouble the commander."

Wei Gao frowned and sighed: "Xiangong Pei really likes to lead by example."

Ignoring the sarcasm in Wei Gao's words, Pei Jiaoran smiled, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. Furthermore, if you think Zihua God's believers are inconvenient to deal with, then I will go and fight with them myself. Use my method to destroy them. body."

"Good one, use my method to destroy him." Wei Gao's eyes flashed, and he immediately grinned, "Let's do this. I will lead my troops to open a road in Haozhou for Xianggong Pei first, to ensure that he can enter Haozhou smoothly. "

"Then there's Lao Weijie." After saying that, Pei Jiaoran stood up and bowed his hands in salute.

This time she did not refuse Wei Gao's kindness. After all, once you enter Haozhou, you have to take the overland route. Having Wei Gao go ahead to clear the obstacles would also save her a lot of trouble.

He personally sent Wei Gao off. When she turned around, she saw a tall figure looking at her from the hatch on the second floor. When she saw her coming, he turned and left without looking back.

With a slight sigh, Pei Jiaoran also turned around and left.

The arrival of Wei Gao finally allowed the ships that had been stagnant for many days to continue along the Huai River like the Hao River.

Since that day, the two have never seen each other again. Even if he had something to say, it was He Liang who conveyed it on his behalf. Li Xiujing was busy dealing with the military affairs sent to him. He set aside a separate room and intensively arranged the affairs of the class. Usually after dinner, He Liang and other confidants are called together to discuss the issue of military rewards after the class returns. Although the military reward has been arranged before, it is still strange to be brought up for discussion at this time. After He Liang mentioned it several times, Li Xiujing simply led the Shence sergeants to rehearse every day.

Although they occasionally met Pei Jiaoran on the deck, the two just nodded to each other and didn't say a word, as if they had never crossed paths. After three days like this, the boat finally reached the boundary of Haozhou, and the flags were fluttering on the ferry. In the cabin, Pei Jiaoran had put on a dark purple robe, looked at himself in the mirror, and put the eyebrow pencil back into the dowry. He packed his luggage hastily and stepped out of the cabin.

Li Xiujing was having a meal when he learned that the ship was about to dock. At this time, he was sure that Pei Jiaoran and Wei Gao had reached an agreement, and she did not include him in her plan this time. He picked up the bowl in his hand and put it down again. Finally, he put the bowl down heavily and walked to the window. He looked out cautiously.

Under the autumn sun, Pei Jiaoran's dark purple robe shines particularly brightly. Seemingly feeling something, she turned her head and looked in the direction where he was standing.

Afraid of being seen by Pei Jiaoran, Li Xiujing subconsciously stepped back. When he stepped forward again, Pei Jiaoran had already climbed onto his horse and followed Wei Gao and Juechen away.

"If the general doesn't send him off, he will go far away." He Liang's voice reached his ears.

"Your Majesty ordered me to serve as a teacher, how can I refuse?" Li Xiujing squinted his eyes at Liang and warned, "I'll go back first. You can protect her for me and ensure that she can return to Chang'an safely."

"General, don't worry. I will do my best to protect Mr. Pei."

After getting off the boat, we took the official road. There were Huainan soldiers in front to clear the way, and Yangzhou soldiers and Shence troops behind them to serve as retinues. Wherever the group passed, dust was flying.

That night, Pei Jiaoran and his party stayed in Zhongli and set off to Haozhou the next day. At this time, Yuan Gongtai had already led his crowd to wait at the city gate for a long time.

Regarding how to deal with the Jianghuai Salt and Iron Transfer Envoy and Zhongshu Shilang Lu Bu, it was also an arrangement that Yuan Gongtai and his subordinates discussed for a long time. Wei Gao also wrote a letter here to remind him. Yuan Gongtai, who originally planned to close the door, finally opened the city gate to welcome the driver after being dissuaded by his subordinates.

Knowing that Yuan Gongtai would suddenly change his attitude, it was probably related to the fact that his many days of searching had failed, and he was worried that his anger would be related to him. He simply sent an advance envoy to Haozhou to comfort Yuan Gongtai and told him not to worry. After all, he will have to act in Haozhou in the future. If he doesn't stabilize this person for the time being, he may be in trouble.

When Yuan Gongtai heard about this, he was very grateful. He praised Pei Jiaoran without hesitation to his assistants.

Lu Bu arrived at Haozhou City smoothly.

Looking at Yuan Gongtai at the city gate, Pei Jiaoran dismounted and walked quickly to Yuan Gongtai. He stretched out his hand to stop Yuan Gongtai, who was about to salute, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty Yuan, there is no need to be so polite. The arsenal was stolen, and the city was immediately closed to prevent the rebels from escaping. I really admire this agility."

The gentle voice fell into his ears, making Yuan Gongtai's expression freeze. Wei Gao, who was still on the horse, had a panoramic view of his expression and shook his head in sympathy.

Yuan Gongtai sighed and said: "Xianggong Pei is making a false statement. The arsenal was stolen, and the fault lies with the official. If we fail to deploy defenses in time, it will lead to a catastrophe. Mr. Pei should not praise the official again."

Hearing the other party change his modesty, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips slightly and said, "The ability to turn the tide is also excellent. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid he wouldn't be as responsive and astute as Yuan Shijun. However, after so many days of tracing, the stolen crossbow arrows Is there any whereabouts of Ya?”

"This..." Yuan Gongtai looked at Pei Jiaoran blankly.

"It doesn't matter, there are a lot of people here. It's not too late to talk about it after you and I enter the state." Pei Jiaoran said with a smile.

Hearing this, Yuan Gongtai breathed a sigh of relief. Let everyone come up one by one to pay tribute to Pei Jiaoran. Then a group of people entered Haozhou City in a mighty manner.

Along the way, Pei Jiaoran chatted happily with Yuan Gongtai. There is no mention of the fact that the decree to abolish the obscenity temple was repeatedly blocked in Haozhou.

What she did made Yuan Gongtai a little confused about her attitude, so much so that when he dismounted in front of the state house, he almost fell off his horse. Fortunately, his assistant supported him and prevented him from making a joke in front of the two of them.

"Is Yuan Shijun feeling unwell?" Pei Jiaoran looked back at Yuan Gongtai and asked with concern.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Gongtai quickly shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. Official matters are more important. Mr. Pei, please follow me into the mansion."

"I see that Mr. Yuan has a tired look on his face, so it's better not to force Mr. Pei and me to receive him," Wei Gao said.

"It's been a long journey, so let's skip today's banquet." Pei Jiaoran tilted his head and looked at Yuan Gongtai with a smile, "I will go to Zhoushe in person tomorrow morning. I hope Yuan Shijun can tell me and Wei Jieshuai how the theft case of the arsenal was investigated. How about that? We can also help you out."

Seeing that Pei Jiaoran suddenly changed his mind, Yuan Gongtai thought for a while and could only send the two of them to the post house to rest.
