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

"You keep digging holes for the people of Yushitai, is that okay?" Li Xiujing glanced at the gray Pei Jiaoran, "Aren't you afraid that they will retaliate against you when they react?"

Pei Jiaoran grinned, showing his sharp fangs, "I'm not plotting against them. How can they investigate Dugu Chen without causing trouble. But..." She frowned, "I don't know where Liu Bing is now."

This person appeared unexpectedly, considering the person behind Liu Bing. When Li Xiujing proposed to pursue Liu Bing that day, she did not agree. Now that I think about it, if I had caught him at that time, I might have known what Zhang Rang had sent him to do.

He closed his eyes to hide the annoyance flashing in his eyes. Pei Jiaoran looked at the undulating mountains in the distance, with a ray of sky covering them.

"I just surveyed the situation near the canal with Yang Shuiguan and the others. If there is no problem, I can submit the plan to you tonight." Pei Jiaoran stretched his arms into the wind with a gentle expression, "The governor will also be needed to help deliver the plan to Dugu Chen. Take a look."

Even if she doesn't like Dugu Chen anymore, the court has its rules. All fortifications in prefectures and counties must be reported to the envoy, and construction can only begin after obtaining permission from the commander-in-chief.

"I'll deliver it to him, it's better to let Yuan Yan rush over. He's going to Liangzhou anyway, why not take this trip?" Li Xiujing's eyes were full of meaning.

Seeing the deep meaning in Li Xiujing's eyes, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and said, "The governor's tricks of scheming are no worse than mine."

The contemptuous tone reached his ears, and Li Xiujing smiled slightly.

The two of them were clearly half-matched when it came to cheating Yuan Yanchong.

Smoothing out the wrinkles on his clothes, Pei Jiaoran stepped down from the soil. Suddenly he stopped and looked at Li Xiujing, "Since the governor is here, let's have a look with someone? If Dugu Chen asks, the governor can answer easily, right?"

Looking at her, Li Xiujing nodded.

Originally, Yang Jiayun and the others dared to chat and laugh with Pei Jiaoran. Now that Li Xiujing had joined them, the group did not dare to say another word, but answered all questions.

It wasn't until dusk that everyone left. At this time, the map in Pei Jiaoran's hand had been altered in several places. Putting paper, pen and other items into her backpack, she yawned.

Pei Jiaoran, who was about to mount his horse and leave, suddenly remembered something and turned his head to look behind him.

Li Xiujing was seen leaning against a tree pole with his arms folded, looking at ease.

"Does the governor plan to spend the night here?" Pei Jiaoran said with a smile, stroking the horse's mane.

Li Xiujing shook his head when asked, "I don't dare to take you around. Your Bi Fei is really powerful."

They both got on their horses.

As soon as they returned to the city, they bumped into Feng Yuanxian and He Liang who looked anxious.

Li Xiujing reined in his horse, looked at the two of them and frowned, "What happened?"

"Jie Shuai's Mansion sent someone to deliver something." He Liang looked around and said solemnly: "I don't know what it is packed in a wooden box. It smells very bloody."

"It seems that Dugu Chen has prepared a big gift for the governor." Pei Jiaoran said with calculation in his eyes, "I want to take a look too."

The wooden box was placed neatly in the center of the main hall of the Governor's Mansion. Li Xiujing's personal guards formed a circle around the box, all of them looking serious.

Before he even got close, a strong smell of blood hit his face.

Pei Jiaoran frowned when he smelled the smell of blood. Suppressing the discomfort rising in his throat, he stepped into the main hall with a stern look on his face. He casually pulled out the sword from the guard on the left and passed through the crowd.

Pei Jiaoran held a knife in his hand, and the blade cut across the box, and finally stopped on the copper lock. Turning his wrist, he tapped the copper lock with the back of the knife.

A bright sword flashed across the room, and Pei Jiaoran cut off the copper lock with one strike. Hold the knife and slowly insert the tip of the knife into the gap in the box to lift the lid.

As she moved, the smell of blood in the room became stronger.

"This..." Pei Jiaoran said in surprise.

Hearing Pei Jiaoran's voice, the guards all looked into the box. Soon their expressions changed, and they all turned around, almost feeling sick.

Seeing that Pei Jiaoran didn't speak, the guards looked ugly. Li Xiujing walked over quickly and saw the contents of the box. His expression also changed.

Inside the box was a corpse whose feet had been stripped off and whose limbs were twisted at weird angles, with an angry look on its face.

That corpse is Zheng Tong.

After thinking for a while, Li Xiujing asked He Liang to lead someone to bury the body first and let Zheng Tong lay in peace. Then he asked all the personal guards to go back and rest, and digest what they had just witnessed.

Looking back, she saw Pei Jiaoran standing far away with a frown on her face and handed her a cup of tea.

The tea went into his throat, and Pei Jiaoran's fingertips rested on the edge of the cup.

"Dugu Chen has probably learned about what happened at Shouduo camp through Liu Bing's mouth. This is the warning he gave." Thinking of this, Pei Jiaoran sighed with deep eyes.

Zheng Tong's tragic situation lingered in front of his eyes. Pei Jiaoran pinched his eyebrows, his expression slightly cold.

After all, she was careless and ignored Liu Bing's ability to be greedy for life and afraid of death.

Looking at her, Li Xiujing said solemnly: "Zheng Tong's line is no longer feasible. The rest depends on Yuan Yanchong. If he can find trouble for Dugu Chen, it will be a lot easier for you and me."

Pei Jiaoran nodded in agreement: "Dugu Chen's promotion over the years has all relied on Jia Gonglu. If Yuan Yanchong can lure him into the situation, in order not to implicate Jia Gonglu, he must fight with Yushitai in a battle of wits and courage. Then he will have no time to take care of us."

For the envoys and prefectures and counties, dealing with the censor during inspections is the top priority. For people like that who are disobedient, it is not too late to wait until the censor leaves before dealing with them.

"What a trick to divert trouble to the east."

"We are under his control. If we want to deal with him, there is no other reliable way except to borrow the Yushitai." Pei Jiaoran paused and said again: "It's okay to be the governor. If Dugu Chen wants to kill me, he can be charged with any crime." .So...we might as well think of a way to rush Yuan Yan away."

Yuan Yanchong's staying will only affect many of her plans. So he must leave here immediately.

She raised her eyes and looked directly at Li Xiujing in front of her, and Li Xiujing was also looking at her. The bright lights above her head were intertwined with every inch of her skin, and her dark beady eyes were like a deep spring.

"He has been staying for more than half a month." Li Xiujing approached her with a mocking look on his face, "The reason why he didn't leave was because he was worried that you, an upstart in the central government, would get involved with me, a person from the feudal town. You would have missed a great future. .”

Taking a step back and avoiding Li Xiujing's burning gaze on her, Pei Jiaoran looked calm and said, "They are them. I am me. The governor and I are allies now. I don't care what they think."

After all, she and Li Xiujing were in the same boat in her previous life. It's just that she was a little more lucky than him. She was favored by Duke Changli and rose to the top instead of being left in the cold for many years. Of course, the two people are still essentially the same. After they found out that they could not control her, they ruthlessly chose to abandon her, and they abandoned Li Xiujing.

With his thoughts at this point, Pei Jiaoran looked sarcastic, "Does the governor not trust me?"

There was a smile on her lips, as if she had penetrated Li Xiujing's thoughts.

"If I don't trust you, will you kick me off the boat without hesitation?"
