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

Duguchen's birthday is scheduled for the seventh day of August, and Guazhou is far away from Liangzhou. Therefore, Pei Jiaoran and Li Xiujing left for Liangzhou half a month in advance.

After leaving Guazhou, you can reach Wuwei County in Liangzhou by going to Suzhou and Ganzhou. The journey was quite lively. In addition to the prefecture and county officials on Hexi Road, those who went to Liangzhou to celebrate their birthdays also included many officials under the Anxi Protectorate.

Pei Jiaoran sat on the horse, squinting at the general who was talking to Li Xiujing, with amusement in his eyes. She really didn't expect that Dugu Chen could actually reach out to the Anxi Protectorate.

The general didn't chat with Li Xiujing for long before he led his men and rode away.

Pei Jiaoran smiled, "There are so many acquaintances with the governor."

"He and I met in Fengzhou." Li Xiujing glanced at her, "Let's go, it's getting dark."

It was already late at night by the time the two of them entered Ganzhou. Because it was too late, and the next station in Ganzhou was still at least twenty miles away. The two of them had to rest at the inn here for the time being. They could go to the inn and ask. Yi Cheng told them that there was only one guest room left.

Pei Jiaoran stared at Yi Cheng and frowned, "Really?"

Yi Cheng nodded, with a sad look on his face. There was nothing he could do. There were so many people coming, and his inn was so big, it was good to have one empty room left. Although these two people are both serious officials, one is the head of a county and the other is the governor, but when they are away from home, why can't they feel aggrieved.

oh. The county magistrate is a girl and the governor is a husband. Isn't it good for two people to sleep in the same room?

"Why don't the governor go and see if there are any acquaintances at the inn." Pei Jiaoran yawned, "You two should sleep together. Men and women should not kiss each other, which is the etiquette. What's more, I want to take a bath."

After saying that, Pei Jiaoran turned around and asked Yi Cheng where the vacant room was, and moved upstairs. As soon as she stepped onto the stairs, Li Xiujing blocked her path with his arms crossed.

"It's not good to disturb people's dreams in the middle of the night." After saying this, Li Xiujing pulled Pei Jiaoran towards the empty guest room on the second floor under Yi Cheng's surprised gaze.

Only when the footsteps faded away did Yi Cheng come back to his senses. He hurriedly caught up with the two of them, led them to their residence, and ordered the postman to bring hot water and food.

Glancing faintly at Li Xiujing who was still behind the screen, Pei Jiaoran curled his lips, picked up the hot water sent by the postman, poured it into the tub and washed himself.

It is said to be a bath, but in fact it is just a simple bath to get rid of the sweat smell and fatigue on the body. Pei Jiaoran lowered the curtain in front of the screen and slowly took off his clothes.

The sound of clothes being rubbed was heard, followed by the sound of splashing water. Li Xiujing had a handsome face. Although the curtains in front of his eyes were thick and he couldn't see what she was doing, he felt that his feet had stepped on the clouds, light and airy. His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and then he looked away in panic.

Does she know that she is full of blood?

Not long after, Pei Jiaoran opened the curtain and came out. Holding the wooden basin, he looked at Li Xiujing meaningfully.

"There's half a bucket left. Don't the governor want to wash his feet to relieve his fatigue?" Pei Jiaoran said with a smile.

Pei Jiaoran was wrapped in a coat, with the collar open, exposing part of his neck. The wet black hair hugged the slender white neck, like a freehand landscape painting with splashes of ink. The bright colors are the crimson lips and the red tear mole at the end of the eye.

Before he could speak, Pei Jiaoran had already walked to Li Xiujing holding the wooden basin and put down the wooden basin. Then he opened the window and stood by the window eating steamed cakes.

Looking at the wooden basin with mist at her feet, Li Xiujing took a deep breath. I took off my boots and socks and washed my feet.

"I'm tired, so I'm going to sleep first. The governor can do his own thing." After saying this, Pei Jiaoran walked to the bed in a grand manner, then got into the bed and covered his head to sleep.

She didn't put up the curtains. Through the screen, Li Xiujing could see her sideways back on the bed.

Li Xiujing shook his head, took out the rush mat and spread it on the ground. Then he blew out the candles on the table. Darkness entered his eyes. After a short period of adaptation, he opened his eyes and looked at the bed through the screen.

What a broken screen this is. The shadow lying on the couch could be seen clearly, and his slender ankles were exposed outside the quilt.

He sighed and tossed and turned.

There are still four months until Pei Jiaoran leaves office. He didn't know when he would see her again. He wants to confess everything to her and tell her his true feelings, but she may not accept it or even believe his sincerity.

She had her own way to go, and he couldn't stop her. There was no way to even determine whether he could go with her.

Li Xiujing turned over again and lay on her back. The fragrance lingered in the dark night, lingering in his nose and stirring in the blood of his body. He has not thought about the relationship between men and women for many years, but now that he is close to the person he misses, he has to restrain himself and observe etiquette.

When he heard footsteps and voices coming from the corridor of the post house, Li Xiujing raised her hands to cover her eyes. But the silent night made him even more unable to calm down. Unable to sleep, he simply put on his clothes and stood up, quietly opening the door and leaving.

The slight noise still woke up Pei Jiaoran. She opened her eyes and looked behind the screen. The place was empty, and the tip of her lips curved.

She got up and walked to the window, opened it and looked at the moon. The cold wind in the west of the river swept over the haystacks in the distance, and a shadow jumped out of the darkness silently.

Looking at those shadows, Pei Jiaoran smiled. He closed the window gently and placed his hand on Chunjun's sword.

She asked why there was only one guest room left. It turned out that it was to make them a turtle in a jar.

"Squeak." The window was pushed open, and several people climbed in through the window.

Pei Jiaoran, who was hiding in the dark, listened to the exchanges between those people and wondered why he saw only one person, and curled his lips.

The leading man wielded a knife and slashed hard at the bed, but there was nothing but cotton wool flying in the sky. The man who realized something was wrong quickly withdrew his sword and turned around, but the bright sword light filled the room.

Pei Jiaoran held his sword, looked at several people with a smile, and then moved. The whole person flew out diagonally and ran towards the door.

"Chase! Don't let her get away."

I saw the killers chasing after me with swords in hand. Pei Jiaoran clicked lightly, opened the door instantly, and flew out lightly.

"Help! Someone is going to commit murder." Pei Jiaoran shouted as he ran, his body stagnating on the fence of the verandah.

She shouted this. People who were resting in the post opened the door and poked their heads out to see what was going on. The two people downstairs who were changing glasses also raised their heads and looked at her. One of them was Li Xiujing.

Facing Li Xiujing's doubtful gaze, Pei Jiaoran jumped down, twisted his body in mid-air and swung out a sword. The light of the sword blocked the pursuing killer.

Although he knew that Pei Jiaoran's move was to attract more people's attention in the post, Li Xiujing still stretched out his arms to catch her.

Seeing Li Xiujing stretching out his arms, Pei Jiaoran did not shy away. He gently threw himself into his arms, and then threw the Junjun sword scabbard with his backhand. The killer who jumped down was hit by her blow and fell to the ground.

Yi Cheng was also awakened and ran over in a hurry. Looking at the killer in front of him, his eyes were shocked.

Without looking at Yi Cheng, Pei Jiaoran raised his head and looked at the killer who had disappeared on the corridor, and suddenly raised his lips and smiled. He turned his eyes and looked at the killer lying on the ground.

"He should be dead." Pei Jiaoran smiled.

Yi Cheng frowned and said in fear: "Sir, please spare my life. I really didn't know that such a thing would happen."

Glancing at Pei Jiaoran, he saw that she looked indifferent. Li Xiujing put her down and said to Yi Cheng: "Okay, this matter has nothing to do with you." He handed over to everyone, "I don't know where the assassin came from, disturbing everyone's rest. I'm really sorry.

Seeing that there was no excitement, everyone closed the door and went back.

Only she, Li Xiujing and his friend were left.
