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

The loud slamming of the door made everyone look back.

"Pei Ming's Mansion." Li Qian frowned.

"Li County Lieutenant, don't worry." Pei Jiaoran opened the account book in front of him and said with a smile: "The reason why I invite you all here is to reduce the number of troops. Cui County Cheng also understands the reason. I know that the imperial court has such an order. I want them to be able to guard their homeland. But you all know the situation in Anxi right now. So I have thought clearly that if Wang Shizhao does not take the initiative to reduce the number of troops, then I can only stop their food and clothing according to the system."

This is also the system of the imperial court. Those who collect too much will not be given food or clothing.

After listening to her words, Cui County Prime Minister stood up and said, "Pei Ming Mansion, this matter is not a child's play. I know you have Changli Gong as your backer, but have you ever considered the consequences of doing this. What if? Not to mention triggering a mutiny, there are still Tubo people outside who are watching with eager eyes. If something happens, how will the Ming government end it? I hope the Pei Ming government will be cautious."

"If something happens, I will take full responsibility for it. Besides, if they are resentful of the imperial court because of this matter, how can they be worthy of the imperial court's cultivation?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"Ming Mansion, people have arrived at the gate."

Everyone looked at each other in shock when they heard this. People? Could it be that Pei Jiaoran also invited someone else? Could it be that he invited Wang Shizhao?

Li Qian secretly glanced at Pei Jiaoran, who looked calm. It seems that today is indeed a Hongmen Banquet, and this banquet is aimed at Wang Shizhao.

Then she trapped them here because she planned to prevent anyone from informing Wang Shizhao. Or are you planning to use them as support?

Tapping the table with his fingers, Pei Jiaoran took in the expressions of everyone. The corner of his mouth raised a slight arc.

"The King's Town is coming."

"Open the door to welcome guests."

Under Pei Jiaoran's instructions, the door slowly opened.

I saw Wang Shizhao standing at the door with a sullen face, showing no intention of going in.

Wang Shizhao did not move, and Pei Jiaoran stood up and bowed to greet him politely.

But Wang Shizhao still stood at the door, staring at Pei Jiaoran, as if waiting for something. Finally, he smiled contemptuously and crossed the threshold.

Seeing him walk to his seat and sit down, Pei Jiaoran smiled nonchalantly.

"I heard that the Pei Ming Mansion is going to treat someone to a meal. But why is there no food box? Could it be that the Pei Ming Mansion is planning to recommend a pillow mat?" Wang Shizhao glanced at her and said with disdain.

As if he didn't see the contempt in Wang Shizhao's eyes, Pei Jiaoran raised his head and looked at him, "Don't worry, the kitchen is still ready. General Zhen, would you like to have a cup of tea first to moisten your throat."

"Of course. But I have to ask Pei Mingfu to pour tea for someone personally."

After receiving the tea from the servant, Pei Jiaoran poured the tea into the cup and handed it over.

"I would also like to invite General Wang Zhen to some tea."

Staring at Pei Jiaoran in front of him, Wang Shizhao chuckled.

"Are you going to expose Pei Ming's previous intrusion into my house just like this?" Pointing to the ground, Wang Shizhao said: "You have to show your attitude even when you ask for help, let alone apologize to others? "

Knowing that Wang Shizhao's words meant something, Pei Jiaoran bowed his head and raised the tea cup high above his head.

"Why don't Pei Mingfu just kneel down and ask for help?"

After the words fell, everyone was suddenly stunned. This Wang Shizhao is really bullying people too much. Although this Pei Jiaoran is only in the seventh rank, he is still on the same level as him. How can he be so arrogant?

"Is General Wang Zhen too fanciful?" Putting the tea cup aside, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and said, "The reason why I asked General Wang Zhen is to reduce the number of troops."

"Reducing the number of troops? It seems that you are really not afraid of death. "

Ignoring the sarcasm in Wang Shizhao's eyes, Pei Jiaoran said slowly: "I have already made a plan. Four thousand people will be left with 800 people to defend the city. As for the others, they can change from senior officers to united troops. What does General Wang Zhen think?"

Everyone originally sympathized with her for being humiliated by Wang Shizhao, but now they couldn't help but sigh when they heard her innocent and stupid words. Sure enough, this woman is just short-sighted, so what if she gets the top prize?

When Wang Shizhao heard this, he couldn't help laughing. How could the imperial court send such a woman to be the county magistrate? It's great to be admitted to the first prize, but after all, she is still a scholar, and how can a woman not be short-sighted?

Pei Jiaoran lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and raised the corner of his mouth, "Since General Wang Zhen is not willing, I can serve you another dish." After saying that, he threw the tea cup in his hand away.

Under the surprised gazes of all the county officials, more than 20 people from the kitchen rushed out and surrounded them, all of them with unfamiliar faces.

Seeing that something was wrong, Wang Shizhao wanted to run away, but when he reached the door, he heard the sound of the door being locked.

"Take it."

After saying this lightly, several warriors immediately went to capture Wang Shizhao.

"Pei Jiaoran, what do you want to do?" Wang Shizhao cursed angrily, pointing at Pei Jiaoran.

Taking half a step back, Pei Jiaoran smiled leisurely and said, "The matter could have been solved easily, but General Wang Zhen was unwilling to cooperate. I had no choice but to make this decision."

At this time, Wang Shizhao's face became even more angry. He pushed away the warriors besieging him and rushed straight towards Pei Jiaoran. But Pei Jiaoran had no intention of moving. Instead, he flicked his sleeves.

After the sword light flashed one after another, everyone looked at it intently.

Pei Jiaoran was seen holding a sword across Wang Shizhao's neck, without looking at the others, and said the word "grab" in a steady voice.

Upon hearing this, a group of warriors rushed forward, captured Wang Shizhao, and tied him aside in one go.

"Pei Jiaoran, do you believe that I will kill you..."

Before Wang Shizhao could say the rest of his words, he was interrupted by the sound of porcelain falling to the ground.

The tea cup rolled in a circle on the ground, and Wang Shizhao cursed angrily, "Pei Jiaoran, how dare you play tricks on me."

"Yeah." Pei Jiaoran nodded, pulled up a chair and sat in front of Wang Shizhao, smiling sternly, "I know what your confidence is. It's just..."

Looking at her, Wang Shizhao sneered.

"All the people you brought are staying outside, right?"

"As long as they don't see me coming out, they will immediately burn your county government office to the ground."

Listening to his words, Pei Jiaoran said thoughtfully: "That's it...does it mean I have to let you go?"

"You know the truth."

Pei Jiaoran nodded, seeming to agree deeply with this matter. But she didn't let go of Wang Shizhao. Instead, she looked out the window worriedly and sighed.

"Forget it." She turned around and looked at everyone apologetically. Then he said: "Who is willing to place his military talisman on someone's behalf?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. It seems that Pei Jiaoran did not expect that Pei Jiaoran would come out like this.

Seeing that everyone was motionless, Pei Jiaoran didn't say anything. Look at Li Zuo and nod to him. The Li Zuo repeated what she just said.

Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "You don't even dare?" He glanced at the two hesitant faces and said, "Li Xianwei, Cui Xiancheng, you two..."

People whose names were not called looked at the two of them, as if they were watching a show.

"If you two dare to come here, I will kill you when I turn around."

"Noisy." Pei Jiaoran scolded.

The two people whose names were called looked at each other, their Adam's apple rolled, and their foreheads jumped wildly. Finally, they gritted their teeth and walked towards Wang Shizhao.

The two cooperated tacitly. One blocked Wang Shizhao's mouth with a cloth, and the other touched the military talisman from his body and took it off. He immediately turned around and walked towards Pei Jiaoran, respectfully handing him the military talisman.

Glancing at the military talisman in Cui County Cheng's hand, Pei Jiaoran chuckled and stuffed the military talisman in his sleeve. Muhan nodded approvingly to the two of them.

"Oh, what a pity." Pei Jiaoran looked at Wang Shizhao, who had an angry look on his face, and sighed: "I admire the general who protects the country and the people in times of chaos. It's just that most of the people under your command are rogues in the market and fierce people. . If you gain something, you will gather, if you lose, you will disperse. General Wang Zhen, you don’t think they will be dead-set and work for you, right? It’s not difficult to make them rebel. "

The anger in Wang Shizhao's eyes was even worse, if he hadn't been tied up and gagged. He was afraid that he would rush forward soon and cut Pei Jiaoran into pieces.

"It's time to open the door."
