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

Pei Jiaoran, who was held in Li Xiujing's arms, pursed her lips slightly. When the skylight fell on me, the exclamations from around me also reached my ears.

The hands in his sleeves were clenched into fists, and the cold and harsh aura on Pei Jiaoran's body gradually became stronger. As soon as Li Xiujing walked out of the house, she waved her palm on his shoulder.

"You..." Li Xiujing gritted his teeth and glared at her, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.

Pei Jiaoran, who had already used his strength to jump down, looked him up and down and flicked his robe with his fingers. Shumo said: "Why did Li Governor come to Zhenjiang's Mansion?"

After regaining his composure, Li Xiujing looked at her and then at the Zhenjiang Mansion, which had closed the door. He pointed to the restaurant not far away and made a gesture of invitation.

Glancing at him, Pei Jiaoran nodded.

The two of them went to the restaurant one after the other. But Pei Jiaoran stopped at the door, with deep meaning in his eyes.

"I happened to be passing by and met your official." As if he didn't see the inquiry in her eyes, Li Xiujing took a few steps forward, "He asked me for help, saying that you and Wang Shizhao were fighting."

Pei Jiaoran frowned when he heard this. She was busy dealing with Wang Shizhao and didn't notice the official running out. He raised his head to look at Li Xiujing again, his eyes wandered around him and then elsewhere.

"Thank you, Governor Li, for coming to the rescue." Pei Jiaoran said and bowed to him respectfully.

Looking at Pei Jiaoran with a smile on his face, a hint of dark color slipped through Li Xiujing's eyes.

Pei Jiaoran, who had been staring at him, keenly caught this strangeness and instantly lowered his eyes. She has been in Zuo Pushe's position for a long time, and some habits cannot be changed for a while.

"You have saved me before, this time I will repay you." Li Xiujing looked at her and raised his hand towards the restaurant, "Are you just going to stand here and talk to me?"

"No." Pei Jiaoran shook his head and smiled slightly.

She understands Li Xiujing as well as she understands herself. If anything, she was evenly matched with him, and once she made a move, it would be fatal. But because of this, there can be no draw between her and him, only life and death. It's a pity that she made a wrong move in her previous life, otherwise we don't know what the outcome will be.

The two of them walked into the restaurant with smiles on their faces.

There were not many people in the restaurant at this time. The waiter led them to the second floor, served them tea and then left in a hurry.

Looking at the mist rising on the tea surface, Pei Jiaoran raised his eyebrows and curled his lips, "There is no one here. If Li Qishi has anything to say, you can just say it."

"I know you want to explain to the court, but your idea is not good. Wang Shizhao's bone is not that easy to crack."

Hearing Li Xiujing take the initiative to mention Wang Shizhao, Pei Jiaoran raised her eyes to look at him and tapped the table with her fingers.

"Is it because of the person behind him?" Pei Jiaoran lowered his eyes and sounded tentative in his tone.

In her previous life, when she was in Jinchang, she had never dealt with Dugu Chen. Later, she met Dugu Chen once or twice at a banquet after becoming an official at Zuopushe. She was not familiar with this person, but she only remembered that he finally took the position of the Protector of Anxi.

"He is Dugu Chen's confidant. If you touch him, Dugu Chen will not let you go easily."

Lifting his eyes to look at Li Xiujing, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and said, "I have another idea. I don't know what Li Qishi wants."

After hearing this, Li Xiujing looked at her doubtfully.

"Li Qishi, when you rushed into the general's house, I'm afraid Wang Shizhao has already decided that you and I are on the same team." She played with the tea cup and smelled the tea aroma, "Jinchang is a county under the jurisdiction of Guazhou, but The general is a member of the Jiedu Envoy. Doesn’t Li Governor want to change him?"

As if he didn't expect her to have this idea, Li Xiujing's eyes darkened one by one, and her thin lips pursed into a straight line.

"You want to say that you can't allow others to snore on the side of the bed?"

After hearing this, Pei Jiaoran praised: "Li Qishi is smart."

"What good does this do to me?" Seeing that her cup of tea was empty, Li Xiujing poured another cup of tea for her. "Although I am the governor, I am also under the control of Jiedushi."

"Isn't it a benefit to remove the eyeliner? Could it be that Li Qishi wants to be stared at all the time?"

Listening to Pei Jiaoran's words, Li Xiujing had a look of inquiry in his eyes. Before he could speak, she had already stood up and bowed to him calmly.

"There are still official documents that have not been processed in the county government office, so I will take my leave first. If Li Shi is willing, he can send someone to the government office to inform him."

After watching Pei Jiaoran go downstairs, Li Xiujing turned his attention to the market. Looking at the people walking away, he seemed to remember something and smiled softly.

After leaving the restaurant, Pei Jiaoran did not go back immediately. Instead, he walked around the market at a leisurely pace, chatting with the people around him from time to time.

Pei Jiaoran sighed as the lingering sound of camel bells reached his ears. In her previous life, she had been operating here for two full years, but she still suffered from the results of poor management. If the teacher hadn't secretly dealt with her, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to return to Chang'an so easily.

After glancing at the sky, Pei Jiaoran left the market.

Under the surprised gazes of everyone in the county government, Pei Jiaoran walked into the public house with his hands behind his back in a leisurely manner.

"Mingfu, you...are you back?"

Listening to that familiar voice, Pei Jiaoran raised his head and looked over, and said warmly: "Yes, I'm back. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you for inviting Li Governor for me, otherwise I might have died there."

The ending is deliberately elongated. After speaking, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and smiled, revealing a pair of white tiger teeth.

Although she acted kindly, the assistant couldn't help but shudder.

"The Ming Dynasty is joking. I am just worried about your safety."

Gentle eyes flicked over him, and at the same time, Pei Jiaoran's hand fell on him.

"You did a good job. I will note this down first. By the way, your name is Chu You?"

"Yes. Mingfu, you actually remember it." Li Zuo said in surprise.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled calmly and did not answer him.

By the time Chu You came to his senses, Pei Jiaoran had already closed the door and entered the public room.

Carefully looking at the closed door, Chu You patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

In the public house, Pei Jiaoran was leaning on the table, holding Jinchang's taxes in recent years, with frost in his eyes.

She knew very well what the current situation in Jinchang was like. Not only was the county government under scrutiny, there might also be many people secretly hoping that she would step down from this position.

If you want to clean up this mess in Jinchang, you will have to see blood. But she had to face sergeants who had licked blood from the blades of their swords, and she was afraid they would not take her, a small county magistrate, seriously.

Pei Jiaoran stretched out his hand to pinch his eyebrows and sighed.

Judging from the current situation, she must find a way to make Li Xiujing form an alliance with her, and then use his power to eradicate Wang Shizhao.

Once he made up his mind, Pei Jiaoran blew out the candle. Staring at the tent ceiling, the scene of meeting Li Xiujing for the last time in his previous life appeared in his mind unconsciously.

"With his intelligence, he should be able to get away." She murmured.
