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

Although the two were not in the same system, Li Xiujing was much higher in rank than him. Looking behind him, General Linghu said, "Today, I was patrolling Chang'an at night. When I passed Chongyifang, I suddenly encountered a thief walking on Zhuque Street at night. I warned him three times but he still did not stop and surrendered. He also escaped over the wall to Wubenfang."

After a pause, General Linghu continued, "To prevent thieves from sneaking into the neighborhood, we entered the neighborhood to search. I hope you can forgive me for disturbing General Li."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man in purple slowly walked out from behind the screen wall. Leaning against the side of the screen wall, Pei Jiaoran looked lazily at the group of Jinwu Guards in front of him.

"Hey, isn't this Linghu Xu, Linghu Langjiang?" Pei Jiaoran narrowed his eyes and spoke lazily, "General, you came at the right time. I just dug out a jar of Langguanqing from the cellar of General Li's house. Would you like to try it?"

It seemed that he had not expected that Pei Jiaoran, the current leader of the Secretariat, would appear here. Linghu Xu's eyes widened and he tightly grasped the horizontal sword in his hand.

He failed to catch the bandits in the market, and instead ran into these two big shots, who he couldn't afford to offend.

After thinking for a while, Linghu Xu bowed and said, "I dare not. I hope that Mr. Pei and General Li will forgive me for disturbing you so late at night."

"Didn't they say that a thief sneaked into the alley? In that case, why don't you, General Linghu, conduct a thorough search. In addition, I can order the Wu Hou and Jinwu Guards in the alley to capture the thief together." Pei Jiaoran stood with his arms folded and said with a grin.

Linghu Xu was stunned, and hadn't figured out how to answer. He heard Li Xiujing say, "It is true that the law cannot be abolished because of the two of us. General Linghu, please go in."

Originally, I had already been disrespectful by barging into their house. Although they were not making things difficult for me at the moment and were willing to let me search for thieves, if I really went into their house to search, not to mention whether I would offend them, it would inevitably cause embarrassment for them in the future.

People passed by from time to time, and they all stopped with curiosity and stretched their heads to watch the fun.

"What's going on? Why didn't anyone inform us that the Jinwu Guards were coming to the district?" A noisy voice came from the door.

The two Wu Hou pushed aside the crowd and squeezed to the door of the mansion.

"Linghu Langjiang?" The leading Wuhou looked forward and asked in surprise, "Prince Pei, General Li, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing this, Li Xiujing smiled, "General Linghu said that he encountered a thief walking at night during his night patrol. After his warning was ineffective, the thief fled to Wubenfang. That's why he went into the square to catch the thief. But since you want to catch the thief, General Linghu should treat everyone equally."

She glanced at Pei Jiaoran. It was only a cup of tea before she came back, but the Jinwu Guards were faster than the Wu Hou in the neighborhood. Didn't the neighborhood guard at the door notify the Wu Hou?

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw Pei Jiaoran move forward, his eyes wandering over the Wu Hou and Jinwu Guards at the door.

"It's late at night, why make such a big noise?" Pei Jiaoran glanced at Linghu Xu, "General Linghu, why don't you go somewhere else to have a look?"

Seeing the other party's eyelids slightly lowered, his cold and sharp eyes fell on him. Linghu Xu swallowed his saliva and bowed, "I dare not, today we are reckless. I will take my leave."

"General Linghu has performed his duties faithfully. I will speak to General Lu and ask him to reward you all."

After the Jinwu Guards and Wu Hou left, the crowds at the door also dispersed one after another. Only the students from the Imperial College who were watching the excitement were left lingering at the door.

"It looks like I have to go meet Zheng Jijiu tomorrow and ask him to teach you all." Pei Jiaoran smiled.

Upon hearing her voice, the students of the Imperial College who had been reluctant to leave immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

After entering the courtyard, Pei Jiaoran lay down on the bamboo couch, stroking his sword with his fingers.

"Tsk, why did you suddenly think of provoking the Jinwu Guards?" Li Xiujing sat down on the small empty space beside the couch and tilted his head to look at Pei Jiaoran, "This is not like the style of our Prime Minister Pei."

Pulling out the sword and playing with it in his hand, Pei Jiaoran sneered, "It just suddenly occurred to me that Zhang Rang could not only open the palace gate at night, but he could also trick the night patrolling Jinwu Guards not to kill him. Alas, this is very tricky."

Li Xiujing paused while wiping his spear and said, "But I heard that the Jinwu Guards have been frequently deployed recently, seemingly preparing for the garrison after the King of Wu opens his palace. You..."

"I gave the prince an idea. Otherwise, I'm afraid of leaving such a dangerous person around." Pei Jiaoran tapped the back of his knife lightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Take advantage of the opportunity of the King of Wu opening the palace to quietly transfer the person out. Zhang Rang had nothing to say. What, is your good brother going to be transferred away?"

"I don't have so many old friends. It's just that General Chen suddenly asked about this because he was a little curious. He has always been loyal and righteous, and he had several good brothers in the army in the past. Now they are all in the Jinwu Guard, and he is wondering if they can also be transferred to the Prince of Wu's Palace." Li Xiujing said.

Suddenly there was silence, Pei Jiaoran put down his sword, and put his arm around Li Xiujing's waist, "Erlang, do you think the Wuwang Mansion is a good job?"

"No. Since he wants to know, I have to ask you for him." Li Xiujing held Pei Jiaoran's hand around his waist, his eyes slightly lowered, "King Wu and the Crown Prince..."

"Leaving the palace to set up a government office also means that disputes will arise." Pei Jiaoran moved his hand down a little, "You and I will have a more dangerous journey."

Being held by Pei Jiaoran, Li Xiujing chuckled. He opened the hand that was holding his waist, turned around, and leaned over to stare at the mischievous man.

"The road ahead is difficult, but you are enough." Li Xiujing lifted her up from the bamboo couch with his arms across his body.

He fell into the golden sea in the room. Pei Jiaoran turned sideways and looked at Li Xiujing who was untying his belt in front of the bed.

"Li Run confessed twice. The last confession has been sent to Shangshudu Province." Pei Jiaoran stroked his sleeve with his thumb and said lazily, "Guess who it is?"

"How can someone who can pass on the news of the Imperial Censorate be an ordinary person? I guess he must be an important official in Taichung." Li Xiujing approached her and pinched her face. "I hope Mr. Pei can help me solve this puzzle."

"Thank you Taiduan, thank you Zhou." Pei Jiaoran smiled.

Li Xiujing was stunned. "He is... from Jia Gonglu?"

"He is from the Xie family of Chenjun. Even if the Xie family has declined, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. How can he look down on Jia Gonglu?" Pei Jiaoran moved a little inside and turned over. With his back to Li Xiujing, "I guess it's Cui Shao and Su Jinghui."

Li Xiujing came back to his senses instantly when he heard the name Su Jinghui. Why didn't Pei Jiaoran help Li Run? He must have figured out who was behind this.

"When did you start planning this?" Li Xiujing suddenly asked.

Pei Jiaoran sneered when asked, "Since someone mentioned that he was the chancellor, I felt that the opportunity had come."

With so many people waiting for her to give them political dividends, there is no reason for her to continue to hide behind others.

Catching the smile on her face, Li Xiujing simply lay down. At this moment, he just wanted to talk to her more, so he turned around and hugged her, pressing against her back.

"Judging from the current situation, you will be able to achieve your wish soon."
