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

However, not long after they fell asleep, they were awakened by the noise at the door. Li Xiujing stood up one step ahead of Pei Jiaoran, took her coat from the chair and walked towards her.

"I'll go take a look, you rest first." Putting the coat on Pei Jiaoran, Li Xiujing smiled, "Don't worry, I'm here."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran nodded and watched Li Xiujing leave. He rubbed the dark lines on the quilt with his fingers and pursed his thin lips slightly.

"General, there are people attacking our camp." He Liang's voice fell into Pei Jiaoran's ears through the door curtain.

"Can't we negotiate with them?" Li Xiujing carefully glanced at the curtain behind him, then turned to look in front of the camp gate. I saw people moving at the door, and fires everywhere as far as the eye could see. "Come on, let's go take a look."

"Let's go together." As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Jiaoran had already lifted the curtain and came out, wrapped in a mysterious fur coat.

Before a few people could get closer, the noise could already be heard. The people were approaching steadily, and many of them threw stones at the camp gate, or used farm tools to attack the camp gate. The guard at the door saw that the people were coming fiercely, and many of his colleagues were injured. Since there was no order, although I was panicking, I didn't dare to take action. Guo Shun had already ordered his soldiers to draw their swords in protest and roared: "If you dare to cross the thunder pool again, you will be killed without mercy! Why don't you retreat quickly!"

But the people were even more frightened when they saw the white blade, and there was also a lot of anger in their hearts due to fear. He recounted all the grievances he had suffered in the past: "The imperial court was unethical and imposed excessive taxes and levies. If it hadn't been for the appearance of Zihua God last year, we would have starved to death. But the imperial court only focused on conquering Heshuo and ignored us. Zihua God Today, there is an oracle, and it is only because the king has no virtue that he frequently oppresses and exploits us!"

This statement was resounding and made the people even more indignant. Many people had already crowded in front of the fence, trying to use their farm tools to chop down the wooden fences blocking their way.

The fences were all erected on the spot and were already in danger under the successive attacks of the people.

Pei Jiaoran frowned as he looked at the commotion of the people. His eyes wandered around the crowd, and finally landed on a few people hiding behind. Catching a hint of confusion on their faces. The hand hidden in the sleeve is clasped on Chunjun.

If this dragon cannot be controlled in time and turns into a rebellion with religious overtones, then the nature of the whole thing will be different. Even if the rebellion can be suppressed by then, the subsequent accountability will be more severe than before. And the impact left by these troublemakers is indelible. Similarly, the emotions aroused by crowds must be kept within a controllable range. If they get out of control, they will be suppressed until they are completely eliminated, and their real demands will not be achieved at all.

But the people in front of her were always being coerced and pushed into front of her by the beneficiaries. Someone is forcing her to make a choice. Even if she was killed and her political ambitions were damaged, she would not be able to escape accountability if she did not kill her and then judge her crimes afterwards.

With no time to study the sinister intentions of the people behind them, Pei Jiaoran turned to Li Xiujing and said, "How sure are you if these people attack the city?"

"Fifty percent," Li Xiujing said coldly.

Pei Jiaoran nodded, "That's almost it. I'll go out and negotiate with them later."

"Will they listen?" Li Xiujing looked worried as she met Pei Jiaoran's gaze.

"I don't know. But I have to try." Pei Jiaoran looked in the direction of Haozhou City in the distance, "I hope Wei Gao won't disappoint me."

Face these people in front of you. In addition to being reasonable, you must also ensure that your fists are hard enough when reasoning.

In Haozhou City, Yuan Gongtai closed his eyes and rested in the state house. Ever since they learned that Pei Jiaoran had returned and there was no movement from Wei Gao's side, the place had been heavily guarded. The wave of people outside the city was also released under his instruction. But facing such a group of people, he still had a backup plan, just in case. While those involved were outside the city, he secretly planned the civil unrest.

These people have great faith in Zihua God, and they are also the beneficiaries behind Zihua God. Although the benefits are not much, it is enough to drive them to become blades. He and Wu Xian's people had already blended in, channeling their emotions and letting them speak out in anger because of the New Deal.

The group of people who ambushed Pei Jiaoran in Jingshanyan were arrested, but many people escaped and came back. These people were heavily rewarded by him. As long as the time is right and he gives an order, he can attack the people in the name of counterinsurgency, so as to intensify the conflict between the people and Pei Jiaoran. Based on what he had just seen, Pei Jiaoran did not have many soldiers and horses in his hands, and it was simply a dream to capture Haozhou City. The only person she can rely on is Wei Gao.

"Go to the post house and ask Wei Jieshuai to come. Just tell him that I have something to discuss with him," Yuan Gongtai said.

"The envoy already has the people and is going to pour oil and burn Xianggong Pei's camp."

Hearing this, Yuan Gongtai closed his eyes. There was no turning back when he fired his bow. From the moment he incited the people to cause trouble and put pressure on Pei Jiaoran, it was destined that this matter would never go well.

"Let them go." Yuan Gongtai's tone was indifferent.

"Your Majesty..." Liao Zuo hesitated to speak, but was swept away by Yuan Gongtai's cold eyes and swallowed all his words, "Here."

At this moment, the people outside the city had piled hay in front of the camp.

"Everyone, please don't be impulsive! We are good citizens, how can we do such a treasonous thing." Some people among the people gathered at the door finally realized what stupid things they were doing. However, his voice was small and limited, and was soon drowned in anger.

The people rushed forward holding torches.

"Shoot arrows to kill those in the front row holding torches." Pei Jiaoran ordered.

This is not Guazhou, nor is it Tongzhou. And what she faced was also a group of stubborn people who believed in evil gods. Without sufficient deterrence, she would not be able to negotiate with these people.

"Prime Minister Pei..." Guo Chunmu couldn't bear it.

"No matter what the consequences are, I will bear them alone. Shoot the arrow!"

Arrows rained down in response, and the mob who raised fire and made noise in front were all shot in the shoulders and legs by Sergeant Shence's bows and arrows. They fell to the ground clutching their wounds and moaning. The rest were left unscathed.

Although the torches were still burning, under the threat of arrows, no one dared to step forward and stood there looking at each other.

With frost in his eyes, Pei Jiaoran looked at the people in front of him quietly. Blindly tolerating concessions will only encourage these people to do evil unscrupulously. Necessary deterrence is still needed.

Just a brief pause. Immediately, someone else picked up a torch and leaned over to light the hay piled at the entrance of the camp.

He closed his eyes and raised his hands, and a second wave of threatening arrows flew out from the camp. In an instant, blood splattered. The people who wanted to step forward and continue to light the fire fell in a pool of blood. The torch in his hand also fell on the hay.

The flames burst out instantly, and those who came near were burned by the fire. In fear, he slapped the flames with his hands, but accidentally kicked the already burning dry grass, and the fire on his body burned even more intensely. Seeing his neighbor die tragically in front of his eyes, although he was shocked, he ran away as soon as he recovered his senses. In the panic, they couldn't tell the direction, bumped into each other, or both fell into the fire. Each of them howled.

"Go rescue people first." Pei Jiaoran said in a calm voice.

He Liang immediately went to open the camp gate and led the people out to rescue the people. Buckets of water were poured down on the cold autumn night. Although the fire was extinguished, the pain was even worse.

Standing at the gate of the camp with his hands behind his hands, he looked at the wailing faces and bodies with flesh and blood everywhere. A trace of compassion emerged in Pei Jiaoran's eyes. These people may not be innocent, or they may be the villains behind Zihua God, but in the end, they all turned into Jiuyou's innocent souls under arrangements with ulterior motives.

Closing his eyes and sighing, Pei Jiaoran slowly walked out of the camp.
