Pei Jiaoran's meritorious service in rescuing King Wu naturally received the greatest reward. Even Concubine Zhang sent her personal maid and gave her gifts to express her gratitude.

Inside the building. Pei Jiaoran looked at the gift sent by Concubine Zhang in front of him with thoughtful eyes.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a familiar figure jumping in from the window out of the corner of his eye. He frowned at her.

"Why are you here?" Pei Jiaoran closed the wooden box and covered it with a silk handkerchief. "You are not afraid of being caught by the Jinwu Guards who are watching the night."

Turning around and closing the window, Li Xiujing pulled up a chair and sat next to Pei Jiaoran, "They don't dare. Lift your legs and let me see your injuries."

The words fell upon his ears, and Pei Jiaoran did as he was told. He put his leg on Li Xiujing's leg, revealing a scratch on his calf.

With a slight sigh, Li Xiujing said: "If I don't come, are you not going to treat the wound?"

"That's not the case. Concubine Zhang has sent a gift. I have to take a closer look." Pei Jiaoran leaned on the desk and let Li Xiujing apply the medicine to her, speaking in a lazy tone, "This gift will be given to her tomorrow morning." go back."

"You saved King Wu, she..." Putting the ointment down, Li Xiujing said, "You don't want to get involved with them."

"I saved the King of Wu because of you, me and the prince. Once something happens to the King of Wu, you and I will be the first to suffer." Pei Jiaoran took a deep breath, "But Tubo is really cunning. After hurting the King of Wu, he made me go to Wu. You can talk.”

Hearing footsteps outside the house, the two turned to look at the door.

I heard someone say, "Is Mr. Pei here?"

It's Lu Zheng.

Glancing at Li Xiujing beside him, Pei Jiaoran pointed to the screen behind him and mouthed the words "hide" silently.

Catching her gaze, Li Xiujing stood up and walked behind the screen consciously.

Seeing that Li Xiujing was already hiding, Pei Jiaoran got up and opened the door.

"General Lu." Pei Jiaoran said.

"I don't know if you are injured, so I brought you some medicine." Lu Zheng said with a smile, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, thank you. It's late at night, General Lu should go back early."

Glancing behind Pei Jiaoran, Lu Zheng stopped talking. After finally bowing, he turned around and left.

After closing the door, Pei Jiaoran was about to put down the ointment. However, Li Xiujing snatched it away and put it aside.

"Jinwuwei's medicine is not as good as our magic formula." Li Xiujing kissed Pei Jiaoran's forehead, "I'm leaving, you go to bed early. I'll hunt deer for you tomorrow."

"Okay." Pei Jiaoran responded with a smile.

It was rare to be quiet this night.

There are many birds and beasts in Mount Li, even though wild beasts cannot enter the palace. However, the palace residents could not stop the birds from resting and chirping on the roof, waking up everyone in their sleep.

In addition to the spring hunting today, there was also a combined review of the Shence and Jinwu armies. So today is particularly lively.

The place where the bow shooting was held last night has been cleared out, and the Sanchen sun and moon flag and the flag embroidered with the word "Wei" are fluttering in the wind. Colorful fang flags, golden drums and armor can be seen at the four corners, showing majestic appearance.

The Shence Army and Jinwu Guards on the field were all carefully selected elite soldiers and generals, and they were all in high spirits. When Wei Emperor Luan Jia first appeared, they all shouted long live. Although it only consists of more than a thousand people, its sound can shake the heavens.

The sound of drums is loud, and the armor is like golden scales. Xu Mian and Li Xiujing, who stood before Wei Emperor, waved their flags after receiving permission. The sergeants of the two armies on the field also began to change their formations according to the colors of the flags. At the same time, with the sound of drums as a festival, the cavalry changes five times and the infantry changes three times. When you hear the sound of drums, you will fight; when you hear the sound of trumpets, you will retreat.

The two armies cooperated with each other tacitly, and no one showed any confusion when changing formations.

Pei Jiaoran, who was on the high platform, turned to look at Emperor Wei and was slightly relieved to see a smile on his face.

"Ms. Pei's proposal is really good." Jia Gonglu's voice floated over.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "There is a saying in the past: if one person learns to fight, he will become ten people; if ten people learn to fight, he will become a hundred people; if a hundred people learn to fight, he will become a thousand people; if a thousand people learn to fight, he will become ten thousand people. Learn to fight and teach the three armies. "The purpose of the emperor's review today is to frighten the people who are coveting it. If they can't impress them, wouldn't it be to encourage their ambitions?"

"Xianggong Pei's words are very true." Jia Gonglu smiled modestly, "I have little knowledge."

"Why should Mr. Jia be so modest? You are the one who is well-informed. I don't dare to make mistakes in front of you." Pei Jiaoran smiled broadly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Wei could be heard saying with a smile: "Today we reviewed the troops of Shence, Jin and Wu in front of the emperor, and I was not disappointed. You two dear ministers have worked hard, and you will be rewarded greatly when you return to Chang'an."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Xiujing and Xu Mian said in unison.

Emperor Wei smiled and stroked his beard, then turned to look at the invited envoys from the vassal state. Seeing that they all had expressions of admiration on their faces, they nodded with satisfaction.

The review is about to close, and the spring hunting is about to begin. After the Emperor of Wei shot three arrows at the Emperor, everyone rode into the forest. Within two hours, whoever hunts the most animals will get the reward.

Horse hooves clatter and flags fly. The elites of the two armies surrounded the prince and the king of Wu as retinues.

Falcons circled in the forest, looking for prey.

A soft whistle sounded. I saw a Haidongqing swooping down from the sky and landing on Pei Jiaoran's shoulder. Standing majestically.

"Ms. Pei, this sea turtle is quite understanding of human nature." The prince rode his horse closer to her, "I know that my master is not an ordinary person."

"After raising it for so many years, how can I do it if I don't understand human nature." Pei Jiaoran looked around and smiled: "I will hunt a pheasant for your highness."

After saying this, Pei Jiaoran bent his bow and arrow, and suddenly relaxed his fingers. The arrow was carried by the strong wind and flew towards the pheasant with half of its body exposed behind a tree not far away.

The arrow hit the target, and there was Haidongqing perched on her head. He fluttered his wings and flew over, his sharp claws firmly stepping on the pheasant's neck.

"Mr. Pei is good at archery." The prince praised.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran raised his eyebrows and continued to ride forward. Leaving the prince behind.

"Jiajia, so you are here." Li Xiujing galloped to her side with a smile on her face.

"I just hunted a pheasant for the prince." Pei Jiaoran raised his head and looked forward, smiling calmly, "Let's go together."

Both of them are excellent archers. If you shoot together hand in hand, you will catch far better prey than anyone else.

"It seems that this year's winter clothes are in place." Pei Jiaoran said, stroking the red fox he had just hunted.

"How about I hunt a few more tigers for you?" Li Xiujing looked at her with a smile, "Find a skilled craftsman to make the blanket as well."

Pei Jiaoran raised his eyebrows and said, "The fox stole my property, so I should kill it. The tiger didn't provoke you, so why are you stripping someone else's fur?"

The voice just fell, and only a slight scoff was heard in the ear.

Looking for the sound, he looked over and saw that it was Rangan, the Tibetan envoy. Pei Jiaoran said with a smile on his face, "Ran Qian."

"Yesterday Mr. Pei was so decisive on the field, why did he hang out with men today?" Rangan looked at the two of them sarcastically, "He was even so kind. Could it be something shameful?"

The words stopped and only a hissing sound was heard.

An arrow grazed Rangan's ear and temples, and was nailed to the tree trunk behind him.

"you!"

"Your envoy is making a lot of noise." Li Xiujing looked at Ranqian and sneered.

He shot the arrow just now.
