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

After vomiting for a while, Pei Jiaoran regained his composure. Not caring that Li Xiujing was beside him, he took off his armor and threw it aside with a look of disgust.

Pei Jiaoran stroked his chest gently and closed his eyes, "Did you see a servant in the main tent when the governor came?"

"No." Passing the handkerchief to Pei Jiaoran, Li Xiujing looked stern, "Who is here?"

"Liu Bing." Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes and spoke in a serious tone.

"Why is he here?" Li Xiujing was also confused.

Upon hearing this, Pei Jiaoran sighed, his eyes flashing like ice in the vast sea. She could not yet deduce whether Liu Bing left Chang'an all the way to come here because of Zhang Rang's instructions. But based on her experience with the Ministry of Internal Affairs headed by Zhang Rang in her previous life. Liu Bing's trip should be without good intentions.

"If you want to keep him, I'll ask He Liang to lead people to chase him now." Li Xiujing said in a deep voice.

"No need." Pei Jiaoran's eyes were like a pool of spring water, bright enough to shine directly into people's hearts. "Leaving him here will only cause trouble. The governor should have captured the guarding camp, right?"

Li Xiujing nodded when he heard this.

He and Pei Jiaoran had made an agreement before that, as a surprise soldier, he would take advantage of the chaos to make a surprise attack to defend the camp, while she would be the main attacker to enter the camp first, cause harassment, and then go straight to the camp to capture Gao Bin. He took advantage of the commotion and entered the camp to reveal his identity as governor, plus the prestige he had accumulated in daily life. The sergeants guarding the capture camp quickly defected and led them to capture Gao Bin's cronies.

Glancing at Li Xiujing, Pei Jiaoran opened the curtain and strode out. She just couldn't stand this smelly tent. He stood outside the tent with his hands behind his hands, greedily absorbing the clean atmosphere around him.

"When I return, the governor will give me at least another 30% of my salary." Pei Jiaoran said quietly.

"Is the Ming government planning to ask for bribes?"

"Does the governor know that Gao Bin is a good man?" Pei Jiaoran had just thrown away his coat and armor. Now that the night wind was blowing around her, she couldn't help but fold her arms and sneeze again. He sniffed and said, "I'm afraid there are many soldiers who have been poisoned by him."

The coat with the fragrance of soap locust fell on her body. Li Xiujing walked up to her and tied the laces for her. Gentle eyes fell on Pei Jiaoran.

"I've heard people talk about it. The army is boring and lonely, but this dynasty does not allow prostitutes in the army, or abducting girls from good families into the camp." Li Xiujing looked at her, with an undercurrent in his eyes, "So the army It’s not uncommon for some of them to be masculine. After all... you can’t..."

Li Xiujing hesitated to speak. He couldn't dirty Pei Jiaoran's ears by saying dirty things.

He joined the army when he was young. I have heard colleagues gathering together late at night to talk about Yun Yu, or discussing which brothel in the city has a charming girl with a charming voice. However, the family tradition has been very strict since he was a child. Even if he betrays his family and enlists in the army, he still dares to imitate his debauched behavior, and he despises it in his heart. So every time they invited them to the city to have fun, he would refuse to go, saying he didn't dare to ruin the family tradition.

"Can't do anything?" Pei Jiaoran said in surprise.

Li Xiujing closed her eyes and chose not to answer.

"Don't the governors often say that they are strong-blooded?" Pei Jiaoran looked at Li Xiujing's face and said teasingly: "When I was young and looking through the books at home, I saw some tricks." After a pause, her smile became heavier and she said, "The governor He’s not close to women, and he’s not very masculine, so after thinking about it, this is the only possibility.”

When Pei Jiaoran thought about it like this, the veins on Li Xiujing's forehead jumped, and the lines on his neck also popped out.

"Pei Jiaoran! What kind of books did your family read to you since you were a child? How could it be like this..." Li Xiujing opened his mouth, but did not say anything for a long time.

Pei Jiaoran raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "The history of the governor's family studies, don't you know that ordinary people only learn the doctrines when reading books, and the more distant the family studies, they often ask themselves to annotate them. There are so many books in the past dynasties, if you only study the doctrines, you will fall into trouble sooner or later. On top."

After saying this, Li Xiujing's expression froze.

"I asked He Liang and the others to find a clean rush mat." Li Xiujing moved forward, then looked back at her, "Let's make do with it outside tonight."

Looking at Li Xiujing's retreating back, Pei Jiaoran sneered in his throat, "Isn't the governor still Kuang Nan?"

Hearing this, Li Xiujing paused and then walked forward quickly without looking back.

Li Xiujing's poor kissing skills came to mind twice, and Pei Jiaoran became more and more sure of the fact that he was Kuang Nan.

Not long after, a soldier came looking for her. It was said that Li Xiujing invited her over.

After walking for a while, Pei Jiaoran raised his head and looked at the general platform, and the corners of his mouth curved.

Seeing Pei Jiaoran coming over, Li Xiujing handed over the blanket.

"They're all clean. How about just spending one night outside." Li Xiujing said with a smile.

He took the felt blanket from Li Xiujing and wrapped it around him. Pei Jiaoran sat down cross-legged and leaned greedily towards the fire. But he still couldn't dispel the chill all over his body, and in the end he simply huddled under the blanket, with only half of his face exposed.

"Speaking of which, I have an idea." Pei Jiaoran frowned and looked at Li Xiujing.

Hearing this, Li Xiujing looked at Pei Jiaoran. He waited for her to speak again.

"When I saw the Shule River that day, I was wondering if I could dig more canals to divert water to irrigate the fields." As she said this, she took out the layout map of Guazhou City from her arms, "Although there are four canals in Guazhou now. , but if there is a drought and the Shule River dries up, it will be impossible to divert water to irrigate the fields. So I want to dig another canal near the east river canal."

Pei Jiaoran marked the canals everywhere on the map with a red pen, and even drew the direction of the river.

After thinking for a while, Li Xiujing asked, "Besides worrying about another drought year in Hexi, do you have other reasons?"

"The chestnuts can be transported to Lingzhou and then go north along the Yellow River. They can be used to store grain for Taiyuan in preparation for the famine years in Guanzhong."

Li Xiujing frowned when he heard this. He could probably guess what Pei Jiaoran's plan was. What Pei Jiaoran did seemed to be paving the way for her career, but in fact it was not. The county magistrate is an official who is close to the people. If the county magistrate does nothing in his office, it is tantamount to dereliction of duty. She seeks the welfare of the people with her hands. No matter what happens in the future, the people of Guazhou will remember her achievements.

Although there is sincerity, there are still limitations.

Seeing that Li Xiujing was silent, Pei Jiaoran asked warmly, "What does the governor think?"

Looking at the fire in front of him, Li Xiujing said: "If you want to dig a canal at this time, there must be a lot of objections. I know that you have a high prestige in the hearts of the people now, and I don't doubt your ability to use people's power. But you Don’t forget, you still have one year left in your term. Canal digging has always been time-consuming and labor-intensive, and you may not be able to dig it well when you leave office. In addition, Guazhou has just experienced a war, and the people may not be willing to abandon farming and dig canals. The most important thing is that if you leave this stall behind after you leave, the new county magistrate may not be willing to take over, and he may not be able to take over, and you will be criticized again."

What hit the target was Pei Jiaoran's inner worry. It was not that she had not considered what Li Xiujing said. It's just that if you don't do some things now, you won't have the chance in the future.
