Under Feirao's arrangement, Pei Jiaoran pretended to be her personal maid and successfully sneaked into Jieshuai Mansion. They were placed in a courtyard, and three meals a day were served to them. They were only allowed to rehearse dances here, and were not allowed to move around at will. They only had to wait for the dance performance in three days.

Pei Jiaoran sat on the stone steps with his knees bent, resting his chin on his hands. He looked at Fei Rao with admiration and made people dance. Along the way, she often watched them rehearse dances. She had to say that the dances of these ladies were indeed beautiful. No wonder Dugu Chen went to great lengths to invite them from Anxi to dance.

This kind of dance really deserves the reputation of being the most beautiful in Anxi.

But she always felt that Dugu Chen shouldn't just invite them to dance for her. He should have something else in mind. Such dancing posture and appearance, if it were dedicated to the emperor. Most of today's temperaments will give generous rewards to those who offer beauty.

When thinking about this, Pei Jiaoran narrowed his eyes and hid his thoughts.

Should she warn them?

"Gillian, what are you thinking about?" Yueniang walked to her side and sat down on her knees, smiling: "Are you thinking about how to question the unfaithful Li Lang? Don't worry, if you are reluctant to do it, we will help you. Get out of this bad mood."

Pei Jiaoran was stunned when he heard this. Thinking of Li Xiujing surrounded by beauties, I felt funny in my heart. But he shook his head, "I don't just think your dance is so beautiful. If you can go to Chang'an, you will definitely become famous all over the world."

"Chang'an is the capital city, and there are naturally a lot of experts in it. I'm afraid we can't even compare to them." Feirao came over and interrupted the conversation between the two.

Yueniang raised her head and said proudly: "What Sister Feirao said is true. Our dance still needs more practice. It's already good to be able to perform in the ambassador's mansion now. When we have finished practicing, we can go to Chang'an and there." People compete against each other.”

After listening to what a few people said, Pei Jiaoran smiled. Although she was not sure what Dugu Chen wanted to do, Feirao still had some sense and did not let fame and fortune go to her head just because she could perform in the ambassador's house. As long as Feirao disagrees, these people should not be able to be presented to the emperor for the time being.

"Let's go, let's go eat first. After eating, we can practice." Feirao looked at Pei Jiaoran and waved to everyone.

Realizing that Fei Rao was looking at her, Pei Jiaoran smiled slightly.

After practicing hard for three days, Dugu Chen's birthday finally came. And Feirao and the others can also show off their talents in front of others.

Pei Jiaoran was not among the dancers, so naturally she could only stay in the guest courtyard. However, because the birthday banquet required martial law, many guards were removed from other places, which made it much more convenient for her.

After standing under the verandah and looking at the moon for a long time, Pei Jiaoran slowly walked out of the yard. Avoiding the guards patrolling the night, he walked up the corridor and headed towards Dugu Chen's study.

Before coming, she had already figured out the layout of the ambassador's palace through the maps given by those people. But she didn't know the situation inside the house, and those people didn't give her any help, so she had to rely on herself.

Compared with the vigilance of the Governor's Mansion. The security of the ambassador's residence in Duguchen was so lax that she doubted whether there was fraud or whether the guards were taking advantage of the opportunity to be lazy.

Looking at the locked door in front of him, Pei Jiaoran took a hairpin from his sleeve. After quickly breaking the lock, he pushed the door open and entered.

Pei Jiaoran came out without taking out the fire folder, and took advantage of the moonlight to carefully examine the environment inside the house. Dugu Chen's study was very large, with five or six bookshelves arranged along the left window to under the right window.

Every bookshelf is full. In addition to books, there are also some porcelain and jade ornaments.

After walking around the bookshelf, Pei Jiaoran frowned. His eyes fell on the bookshelf in the middle. There is a jade-carved dragon placed on it, with two rubies inlaid on its eyes and an emerald bead in its mouth.

He reached out and touched the white jade dragon, but found nothing. Pei Jiaoran then lifted the jade dragon and was about to check if there was any mechanism hidden underneath when he suddenly heard the sound of a mechanism turning in his ears.

Hearing the sound, Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes and saw a row of arrow holes on the cantilever above his head and the red pillars at the four corners. Her deep eyes narrowed slightly, and her hand on Chunjun gradually tightened. After hearing a uniform click, she froze, drew her sword and jumped up. The sword moved like a snake, deflecting the incoming arrow rain.

She turned and retreated to the door. The place where she was standing was already densely packed with crossbows and arrows. Pei Jiaoran sighed. If she had been slower, she might have died.

Before she could stand still for a while, there was another sound of the machine turning behind her. The arrows arrived with the sound of biting wind, like heavy rain hitting the face. Pei Jiaoran squeaked coldly, and Chunjun took out the sheath again. The silvery white light was like a thunderbolt across the sky, catching up the rain of arrows that hit him, making a crackling sound and then being nailed to the ground.

Before the machine above his head could turn again, Pei Jiaoran raised his sword and swung it horizontally. She destroyed the entire institution.

Pei Jiaoran walked towards Bai Yulong again with his sword in hand, looked around, and reached for the "Kuo Di Zhi" beside him. The book didn't move at all, but the machine behind him made two muffled sounds. Glancing at the machine behind her, she turned around and continued to touch the book. Finally, she touched a bulge in the corner and pressed it.

The bookshelf pushed open to both sides, revealing a dark room. There are still many bookshelves inside.

Pei Jiaoran took the fire folder from his sleeve and walked in slowly. He conveniently placed Mo Dao between the two doors. There were so many mechanisms in the room, and she didn't believe there wouldn't be other mechanisms in the dark room.

Scanning the bookshelf, Pei Jiaoran's eyes fell on the wooden box in the corner. Go over and carefully open it. There were dozens of letters and an account book inside.

Just as Pei Jiaoran was about to take out the letters and account books, there was an unusual sound in his ears. I saw huge rocks falling from all sides, as if they were going to surround her here.

Without thinking too much, she jumped over. At the same time, he split the bookshelf in half and swung his sword over it to slow down the stone door's descent.

She finally rushed out before the stone door fell. Looking at the account books and letters in his hands, Pei Jiaoran closed his eyes and sighed. Glancing at the stone door behind her, she turned around and stepped out, leaving only Mo Dao lying between the two bookshelves.

The movement just now probably attracted the guards, and she had to leave quickly.

Hearing the rapid footsteps coming from far away, Pei Jiaoran jumped up on the wall and ran very fast on the eaves. There was also a constant rain of arrows behind them, but strangely no one shouted for the assassin.

After thinking for a while, Pei Jiaoran climbed down from the eaves and jumped into the flowerbed nearby. She took off her round-necked robe, revealing the flat-necked skirt underneath, and walked out of the flower garden as if nothing had happened.

With a smile on his lips, Pei Jiaoran walked slowly to the banquet.

Counting the time, Feirao and the others had finished their dance performance. Li Xiujing and the others are coming out soon. It was understandable that she, a personal maid, would go to meet her master.

Pei Jiaoran walked slowly around to the side room where Feirao and the others were changing clothes and dressing up.

Not long after, the door to the main hall opened. The door to the side room was also opened.

"Gillian, you..." Feirao said doubtfully.

But Pei Jiaoran ignored her. Instead, he picked up his skirt and ran forward, crying: "Li Lang, I finally found you."

Under the watchful eyes, she threw herself into Li Xiujing's arms.
