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

Seeing Pei Jiaoran hand over the ladder, Yuan Gongtai stopped crying and bowed to Pei Jiaoran.

"Don't worry, Mr. Pei, I will make arrangements for you." Yuan Gongtai looked back, "Do you need me to join you?"

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran followed Yuan Gongtai's line of sight and looked out, smiling and shaking his head.

"Please Yuan Shijun, please go and negotiate with them first. There are people coming and going in the post house, and it will be useless to you and me if it gets too big." Pei Jiaoran said.

"Here."

Not long after Yuan Gongtai left, the people gathered at the door left one after another. Pei Jiaoran also ordered people to put out the fire and move the stove back.

Just as he was about to leave, Pei Jiaoran seemed to remember something. Turning back to the door, he glanced at Lang Jun who was bound and gagged, and motioned to the sergeant to step forward and let him go.

"I will let the matter be bygones. You can go back. If it happens again, you will be severely punished." Pei Jiaoran's tone was slightly cold.

"Thank you, Mr. Pei." After the man saluted, he fled from the door of the post house as fast as he could.

That night, Yuan Gongtai sent someone to deliver the news. He said that early tomorrow morning, she could set off for the Zihua Temple, the largest temple in the area. He had already arranged all the security arrangements along the way, so please rest assured.

After everything was arranged, Pei Jiaoran sent the news to He Liang. Keep him ready for action.

The rain has stopped, the sky is clear, and the autumn wind is rustling.

"Mr. Pei, everything is ready." Zhou Mancao's voice reached his ears from the door.

Pei Jiaoran stood at the window and looked outside the post house. The scene in the city was still prosperous and bustling with people. She pursed her lips, picked up the pure Jun that had been placed aside, and tied it to her belt. Suddenly he pulled out the pure Jun a few inches and tapped the sword's spine with his fingers. The hidden compassion in his eyes was replaced by frost. She turned around and walked to the map on one side, picking up the ink pen placed aside. Looking down at Haozhou City on the map, he held a red pen in his hand. The bright vermilion outlines the official road all the way to the Zihua Temple at the end. The contrast between the vermilion and the white snow makes it even more eye-catching. Pei Jiaoran stroked the vermilion with his fingers, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

That will be the end point of her trip to Haozhou, and a violent battlefield will also arise here.

But for either party, this confrontation was not a spur of the moment, but a game that had been rehearsed several times. The taxation of the state and the faith of the people collide. The greed behind the false gods and the wealth sought by the conspirators will be placed on the balance of power. No matter what role the other party plays, the so-called suppression or resistance is a confrontation between risks and benefits, as well as a competition between plunder and protection.

Putting down the ink pen, Pei Jiaoran stood up and said, "Let's go."

Outside the post house is a splendid array of books. As soon as Pei Jiaoran went out, someone immediately came forward to salute. Pei Jiaoran raised his head and looked at the chariot prepared by the governor's office.

Wei Gao led the state and town generals to come forward and directly explained Yuan Gongtai's arrangements.

Glancing at the state soldiers sent by the state government, Pei Jiaoran nodded and said with a smile: "Soldiers are a major event for the country, the place of life and death, and the fate of survival.

The Tao cannot be ignored. Yuan Shijun was very satisfied with this arrangement. It's just that you've just arrived and are not familiar with this place. It's better to let Xu Zhen arrange and mobilize everyone. "

"The general will receive the order at the end." Xu Shu responded with his hands in hand.

In the past few days, she and Wei Gao had discussed that he would set up a secret line in the city to get a rough idea of ​​the situation of the soldiers in the state. And they made a preliminary estimate of how much power the opponent could muster in the city.

Instructing Xu Shu to wait outside first, Pei Jiaoran turned to talk to Wei Gao.

"How?" Pei Jiaoran asked in a deep voice.

"There are about 4,000 sergeants in Haozhou. These stolen crossbows were all newly repaired this year and re-oiled everywhere. The arrows are new and have extremely strong penetrating power. I brought them this time There are only fifty pairs of powerful crossbows, and there is no guarantee that everyone can be equipped with a crossbow. If you really want to encounter the opponent, you have to rely on other methods. However, the only advantage is that if the opponent has not been trained, the accuracy may not be good. But it is not clear at the moment. Where are those batches of powerful crossbows? The arsenal guard has recruited them, but he doesn't know where exactly the powerful crossbows have been transported. Is Mr. Pei still involved in danger?"

"At this point, how can I retreat? Our strength is no more than a hundred, but we may not be unable to win." Pei Jiaoran roughly estimated how many troops the opponent might have, and said with a smile: "We don't need to use Wei Jieshuai this time. Come with me, I have another important task for you. Stay here, and if anything unusual is discovered, lead people to control the arsenal first, and then capture Yuan Gongtai."

"Only relying on Yangzhou's state soldiers?" Wei Gao almost screamed.

"Yes. I believe in Jieshuai. Does Jieshuai believe in me?"

"I just think this method is risky." Wei Gao said: "But I will stay in the city. If there is any change, I can really help you."

"Then thank you Wei Jieshuai. I feel relieved to have you in charge in the city." After saying that, Pei Jiaoran took out a small gold seal from his sleeve and said, "I will give the transfer envoy's gold seal to Commander Jie for the time being. Please forgive me. Shuai will come to my aid at any time."

The small golden seal lay safely in Pei Jiaoran's palm. Although the golden seal of the transit envoy is not useful for military mobilization, behind it lies the power to act expediently.

In other words, she gave him such power, which was undoubtedly another kind of trust in him. It also indicates that no matter what the outcome is today, she will take the first responsibility. This is righteousness. With this in mind, he also has to give the other party their trust. And try our best to help the other party achieve what they want.

After looking deeply at Pei Jiaoran, Wei Gao handed over his hand and said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Pei."

Meeting Wei Gao's gaze, Pei Jiaoran smiled calmly.

Pei Jiaoran stroked Zhou Mancao's hand and stepped onto the carriage. The curtains were lowered, and even the skylight was not included.

"Let's go." Pei Jiaoran said.

As soon as the voice fell, the carriage moved slowly.

Amid the discussion of the people, the carriage drove out of the city.

inside the car. Pei Jiaoran drew the Chunjun sword and placed it across his knees. He stroked the sword's spine with his fingers, and a pair of cold brows appeared on the sword.

"Are you afraid?" Pei Jiaoran looked at the two people beside him with a smile.

Zhou Mancao put his hand on Pei Jiaoran's hand and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? It's an honor for me to be able to stand side by side with Mr. Pei."

"Don't worry, girl. I remember everything you taught me." Bi Fei said warmly.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled, lifted the curtain on the left and looked out.

The sky is gray and the autumn sun has been obscured by dark clouds.

Pei Jiaoran raised his lips.

She didn't know who else was watching the outcome of this game. But it doesn't matter who it is. She entered the situation with her own body and worked every step of the way, so how could she just compete for profits for the center? She needs a reasonable and major achievement to pave the way for her political demands. As for Chang'an, it won't be too late to turn against him when she returns.

What she wants will lead to more victories here.
