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

"Pei Jiaoran, how many days has it been! Why haven't Li Xiujing recovered? What the hell are you two doing?" One of them pointed at Pei Jiaoran and said angrily.

Glancing at the blade pointed at him, Pei Jiaoran pressed the action that Feng Yuanxian was about to draw out. He slightly raised his lips, and there was a smile on his eyes and brows.

Although she didn't speak, there was a majestic air lingering around her. The leading officer looked at her, then glanced at Feng Yuanxian who was about to draw his sword to protect her. He snorted coldly and sheathed the sword.

He led a few people behind him into the house and sat down.

The officer holding the knife just now slapped the table with his palm, "We just went to see the governor's house, and there was no one inside. Doesn't the Ming government want to give us an explanation?"

Hear the provocation in the other person's words. Pei Jiaoran then pulled up a chair and sat down in the middle, then turned to give Feng Yuanxian a few words. He also ordered his servants to serve tea to several people.

"Since everyone already knows, I won't hide it. Li Qishi has detoured behind Tubo to surprise the baggage a few days ago." Holding the tea, he put it in the palm of his hand. Pei Jiaoran smiled, "To prevent the news from leaking out, only General Feng and I know."

When she stopped talking, she looked at the officers with a smile, stroking the tea cup with the golden magpie stepping on flower branches with her slender fingers. She lowered her eyes lightly, covering up the sarcasm that flashed across her eyes.

She understood what the purpose of these people's visit today was. They were simply ordered by Dugu Chen to seize power. Now that Li Xiujing is gone, as a county magistrate, she holds military power, which is not in line with the rules in any way.

Rules are the most important thing in officialdom. It was obvious that her actions had violated many people's default rules, and some people were very dissatisfied with her.

"Nonsense! If Li Xiujing left a long time ago, why hasn't he come back yet? I think he clearly has other agendas and acted like this," the officer said angrily.

"General Qin, why are you so angry? The governor indeed left to repel Tibet." Pei Jiaoran said softly.

"Okay. Now that Tubo has withdrawn its troops, it's time for the Ming Dynasty to hand over military power." The officer looked at Pei Jiaoran fiercely, "I will report the situation to the Commander-in-Chief later. Li Xiujing left his post without authorization, not just because of your words. It can be cleared up with just words.”

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled, "What if I don't give it?"

"You have no reason not to give it." After saying this, the sergeants who came with the officer all drew their swords and pointed at Pei Jiaoran.

"It seems there is nothing we can do." Pei Jiaoran's peach blossom eyes were full of frost, "Someone comes and takes them all down."

After the order was given, Feng Yuanxian rushed in with the personal guards left by Li Xiujing, holding a knife to protect Pei Jiaoran. Another person was escorted in by personal guards.

That person was none other than Zhao Heng.

When Zhao Heng saw Pei Jiaoran, he cursed loudly. The words are all contemptuous.

Looking at Zhao Heng sideways, Pei Jiaoran looked disgusted and ordered someone to gag him. He turned to look at the tense Moli Army officers in front.

Pei Jiaoran smiled slightly, "Are you planning to seize my military power? Then do you know what the crime of attacking the state capital is?"

"What a fart! We don't have troops to attack the state capital. Pei Jiaoran quickly handed over the military talisman to us. We can put in a few good words for you in front of the commander and save you from jail." Officer Huazhi commanded his sergeants. Go forward and get someone.

But Li Xiujing’s people are not vegetarians either. He immediately blocked Sergeant Mo Li's path with his sword. Neither side gave in, holding their weapons together.

"According to the law, attacking the prefecture is equivalent to treason. With the scepter, I can execute you on the spot right now." Pei Jiaoran stepped back and looked at them coldly with the scepter in hand.

Tubo had just withdrawn its troops, and she didn't want to cause trouble with this group of soldiers who had just gone through bloodshed because of Dugu Chen.

"The scepter can only kill those who disobey military orders in wartime. Pei Jiaoran, you can't do anything to me now. Hand over the military talisman quickly!"

"Hand over the military talisman!"

Several other people also agreed.

Holding the staff to signal the soldiers to get out of the way, Pei Jiaoran walked slowly in front of the people, "Now that Tubo has not gone far, the governor has led his troops deep into the enemy's rear and has not returned, so it is still wartime. I am now in charge of the government under the order of the governor, and I hope that you will Return to camp on your own. When the governor returns, he will ask for orders and rewards for you."

The officer glared at Pei Jiaoran and said angrily: "Don't use the staff to press me. Following the order of the commander, I will seize your military talisman and put you in the prison to await execution. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed."

When they saw that Li Xiujing had not appeared for many days, they secretly sent news to Liangzhou, saying that he had left his post without permission during the war. After Liangzhou heard that Pei Jiaoran was observing the festival, he conveyed a secret order to them. As soon as the war was over, the power was taken away from her. Now that Tubo has withdrawn its troops and Li Xiujing has not returned, it is the best time for them to seize power.

Pei Jiaoran raised his eyebrows slightly, and the sharpness between his eyebrows coexisted with the majesty and gracefulness around him. Although he is only wearing a seventh-grade green robe, he is as majestic as a high-ranking official wearing a purple robe. The dim light flows in the peach blossom eyes, which is obscure and difficult to guess. His eyes wandered to the officer, and his red lips curved, as if he already knew the fate of the provocateur.

"Zhao joining the army and attacking the state capital is equivalent to conspiracy." Pei Jiaoran asked softly.

Hearing Pei Jiaoran's question, the bodyguard who was escorting Zhao Heng pulled the cloth out of his mouth and kicked him hard, forcing him to answer.

"This move is tantamount to treason and can be dealt with according to military law during wartime."

"Did you hear me?" Pei Jiaoran smiled, but the meaning behind his words was irrefutable, "Quit the state capital immediately, otherwise I will execute you and others on the spot according to military orders."

Although the other party had already shown the knife and she had no reason to back down, she could not really kill these people. That will only cause more trouble.

Seeing that the leaders were still standing still, they had no intention of leaving. Pei Jiaoran glanced at the governor's scepter in her hand, "Feng Yuanxian unloaded their knives. He was taken to the county jail and awaits his fate." After saying that, she looked at Zhao Heng and sneered, "As for Zhao Heng, he disobeyed military orders and incited the sergeants to besiege the state capital. Joining the army as a recorder, knowing the law and breaking the law will be punished by one degree, and ordered to be executed immediately."

Under the watchful eyes, Pei Jiaoran snatched the knife from the guard. He slashed at Zhao Heng with one knife. In the blink of an eye, Zhao Heng's head had fallen to the ground.

She knew that this move would have a huge impact if Chang'an knew about it. But without putting all the blame on Zhao Heng, she would have to deal with the generals of the Moli Army. Sergeants have always valued the affection of their colleagues. Once they know that their boss has been captured, they are likely to cause trouble. Therefore, killing Zhao Heng is equivalent to exonerating others.

Pei Jiaoran handed the knife back to his guards, looked up at the people in front of him, and said with a smile: "This thief took money from Tibet to seduce the generals. His crime is unforgivable. I hope you generals will be alert as soon as possible and don't act as a substitute for others." The guilty lamb. Feng Yuanxian, please send them out on my behalf."

"Please." Feng Yuanxian smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

Photographed by Pei Jiaoran, several people looked at each other. Let Feng Yuanxian lead his men to disarm them, and then retreated with a look of reluctance.

When Feng Yuanxian came back, Zhao Heng's body had been dragged out. But there was still a smell of blood in the house.

"Everyone has been ordered, when does the Ming Mansion plan to leave?" Feng Yuanxian asked.

After hearing the question, Pei Jiaoran took a deep breath and said, "Tonight." She took a stack of letter paper from the case and handed it to Feng Yuanxian, "This is the letter between Zhao Heng and Tubo. Keep it. If Dugu Chen sends someone to question him, you can put this Hand it over."

"I believe this..." Feng Yuanxian looked at the thick stack of letters in his hand and lowered his voice, "It can't be true, right?"

"I forged it." After patting Feng Yuanxian on the shoulder, Pei Jiaoran picked up the Chunjun sword on the case and said, "Guazhou will leave it to you."

Feng Yuanxian bowed to him and said seriously: "Ming Mansion, be careful all the way."

Pei Jiaoran nodded, smiled, and left with his sword.

Two hundred riders took advantage of the cover of night and galloped out of the city. Go straight to Yumen.
