Seeing Pei Jiaoran like this, all the ladies on the carriage comforted her and handed her handkerchiefs to wipe away her tears. With a soft voice, she told the ladies how she was abandoned by her lover and chased from Shazhou to Ganzhou alone. On the way, she was defrauded of money by gangsters, and she collapsed on the roadside due to hunger and cold.

Pei Jiaoran's voice was sweet and there were tears in his eyes. Jiang's story is poignant and touching. The ladies next to him were very angry after hearing this and scolded the unlucky Li Lang.

"Gillian, do you know where Li Lang is now in Liangzhou?" The lady in red, who was the leader, held her hand and asked with concern.

After hearing this, Pei Jiaoran sighed and lowered his head, "I heard they said he seemed to have gone to the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion in Liangzhou." As she spoke, she wiped her tears with her handkerchief and choked up: "I'm afraid I won't be able to see him. I'm a weakling. How can a woman enter the Marshal's Mansion? Thanks to the ladies for their kindness in saving me, I'd better get out of the car and go back."

"Gillian, what are you talking about! Such a heartless husband should expose his true colors in public." The woman called Yueniang stopped her and looked at the lady in red, "Sister Feirao , Aren’t we just going to Jieshuai’s Mansion? How about we take Gillian and go in together to find that heartless man?”

"But..." Feirao looked hesitant.

Although she sympathized with Gillian's experience, it was a big deal for them to dance at Jieshuai Mansion. How could they let a person of unknown origin go in with them. What if she has ulterior motives?

Seeing the hesitation in Fei Rao's eyes, Pei Jiaoran raised his head and looked at her with understanding, "It's okay, maybe he's not in Jieshuai Mansion. It's already good that Fei Rao can save me. Cough... cough... ...How can I ask you to take me into the Commandery Mansion to look for someone?"

Pei Jiaoran covered his lips and coughed, and his face became paler. This look made Feirao's eyes even more sympathetic. The hand holding her wrist could not help but become a little stronger.

"Sister Feirao, please bring Gillian in." Yueniang begged.

"Yes, let's find out the unfaithful person and teach him a lesson! Give Gillian a break." Qing'er looked at Pei Jiaoran and told her not to worry, "Gillian is so young and has met such a cruel person. She went there What can we do next?”

The other ladies on the carriage also echoed.

Feirao looked at Pei Jiaoran with a complicated expression, and finally agreed to take her into the house. However, due to the limited number of dancers, she could only pretend to be a maid and go in with them.

"Thank you so much, Madam Feirao." Pei Jiaoran was blessed and sobbed: "Madam Feirao is so generous, and Gillian really has no way to repay her. Treat me..."

After saying that, Pei Jiaoran fainted again. The lady next to her hurriedly helped her aside, covering her with a quilt and giving her water.

The group traveled all night and finally arrived at Wuwei County where the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion was located before nightfall. Feirao rented an inn in the city for everyone to rest for one night before entering the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion tomorrow morning.

When there was no sound in the inn, Pei Jiaoran opened the window and looked around to make sure no one was watching. Jump down from the window, climb over the wall, and walk along the wall to the post office in the city.

She made an agreement with Li Xiujing. After she enters the city, she will first meet him at the city post. Then determine how he will cooperate with her.

Pei Jiaoran jumped up to the house next to him and imitated the night owl and called twice. She saw that the window on the second floor was pushed open. She squinted at the window for a while, then nodded and walked over, climbing through the window and entering.

There were no lights in the room, and there was water vapor lingering in the air.

Pei Jiaoran frowned and called, "Li Xiujing?"

"I'm here." The curtain in front of the bed was opened, and Li Xiujing came out. The buttons on the collar of his shirt were not yet buttoned, exposing some of his chest. "Why do you look like this?"

"The governor actually recognized me?" Pei Jiaoran looked confused.

"No. I'm just familiar with the way you hold the sword." Li Xiujing looked at her and raised his lips and said, "The way you hold the sword is due to the habit of holding the sword hilt backwards for many years."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran suddenly raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Xiujing meaningfully, "Aren't you going to put on your clothes, the governor?"

"Hot. Judging from your appearance, you must have successfully blended into the dancers' team. What are you going to do next?" Li Xiujing stood with arms folded and her tone was indifferent.

"They will enter the palace tomorrow, and I will enter the Commander-in-Chief's Palace with them." Pei Jiaoran smiled, "I will take action when they perform the dance, but I have to trouble the governor to take me away."

"You shouldn't have included me in it, right?" Li Xiujing frowned.

Earlier, he asked Pei Jiaoran how he could get into the dancing girl team. She said she would make up a story to gain sympathy. Take this to enter the Jieshuai Mansion.

Looking at Pei Jiaoran's narrow look, he could guess that she might not have done anything good again.

"The governor is the heartless Li Lang, and I am the Gillian who was once promised a golden house, but was abandoned because Li Lang was greedy for power." Pei Jiaoran smiled with a smile on his face, looking quite happy.

"I'd rather hide you in a golden house, but I'm afraid you won't come in." Li Xiujing smiled and looked at her, "Pei Ajiao?"

Glancing at him, Pei Jiaoran said with a cold tone, "Don't be joking, Governor, I sneaked out to see you. I have to take action on my birthday, but no matter whether it succeeds or not, the Governor must pretend that he doesn't know about it."

The guys at the political hall had no intention of letting her seek help. They obviously didn't want to alert the snake. But they forgot to do such a thing, if no one responded. If anything goes wrong, all previous efforts will be wasted. So she must find a reliable helper for herself.

"Okay." Li Xiujing nodded.

"By the way, has the governor seen Dugu Chen?" Pei Jiaoran glanced sideways at Li Xiujing and said in a deep voice, "Does he know that I am recuperating at the post in Ganzhou?"

"I know. I have told the truth, but I guess he will send someone to find out the truth. How are your arrangements?"

Pei Jiaoran nodded, "I gave the maid a sum of money and asked her to leave the inn in five days."

Although she didn't believe the maid, she had no choice for the time being. So this is the only last resort.

Li Xiujing's eyes kept falling on Pei Jiaoran's face. She deliberately changed her appearance so as not to be recognized. If he hadn't carefully observed the way she held the sword, he might not have recognized her for a while. But with her current appearance, it would be easy for others to covet her if she entered the Commander's Mansion.

"Qingjia." Li Xiujing walked towards her and held her hand, "After you enter the Commander's Mansion, no matter who offers you a drink, it will not taste good. Some people at the banquet like to talk dirty words, and there will also be others who like to talk dirty words. Take this opportunity to do something inappropriate to the dancers."

Pei Jiaoran narrowed his eyes when he stopped talking. She knew why Li Xiujing said this.

In her previous life, she had also heard that if a dignitary at a banquet in some families fell in love with the dancers and musicians at the banquet, they only needed to make a few hints to the host's family. There will be special people who give the dancers some entertainment drugs for the nobles to have fun. As for what will happen to the maiko in the end, no one knows.

"Thank you, Governor, for your advice. I will be more careful. It's late at night, Governor, please rest early. We'll see you at the banquet." After saying this, Pei Jiaoran withdrew his hand and climbed out of the window.

Seeing Pei Jiaoran's figure disappear into the night, Li Xiujing closed his eyes and sighed.

He didn't want her to go at all, but there was nothing he could do to stop her. Li Xiujing couldn't help but smile as she raised her hand to look at her palm, as if her fragrance still lingered on it.
