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

As soon as he arrived in front of Yanxi Gate, Pei Jiaoran paused. He looked at the large group of people in front of him with a solemn expression, his hand on the hilt of his sword.

"Pei Shangshu, why did you leave the palace late at night?" A middle-aged man in armor walked out of the crowd and looked at Pei Jiaoran with a half-smile.

He waved his hand, and his soldiers stepped forward to surround Pei Jiaoran.

Glancing at the sergeants surrounding her, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "Shuai Yanjie, are you planning to kill Pei?"

"No. I just want to keep Pei Shangshu here. After all, you are most familiar with how the imperial court's wealth works." Yan Ling Yao said in a polite tone, "I have already sent people to greet your majesty. Why don't you keep Pei Shangshu? To avoid running away in vain. One trip.”

Yan ordered Yao to smile. He led his officers and soldiers, and after defeating the Shence Army, he was furious when he heard that Emperor Wei had fled. When he was about to lead his army in pursuit, a sergeant came to report that the inner treasury door had been opened by someone unknown, and there were countless treasures inside.

Hearing this, he ignored the pursuit of Emperor Wei and ordered his generals to lead five hundred soldiers to pursue him. He immediately rushed to the inner library.

When he arrived, many sergeants were already trying to rush into the inner warehouse. But they were all stopped by his lieutenants. Surrounded by sergeants, he stepped into the inner treasury.

At first glance, I was shocked by the wealth and silk stored inside. The wealth of the inner treasury was beyond his imagination.

He ordered his sergeants to guard the inner treasury and not allow anyone to take it away without authorization. He also ordered his marching commanders to give each person double rewards according to their merits. To calm their restless hearts.

But so much money is still a hot potato for him. When he heard that Pei Jiaoran was still in the palace, he immediately ordered his sergeants to search for her whereabouts and could only capture her alive. He needs her to help him manage and distribute the money.

Looking up at Yan Lingyao, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and said, "But I feel that Jieshuai is not worthy of trust. After all..."

Pei Jiaoran did not continue speaking. Just now when she was walking through Second Street, she vaguely heard a woman crying in the night wind. She knew what tragedy happened there. Even though Emperor Wei had taken away many princesses and concubines, there were still some who were forgotten in the deep palace.

Now most of them have become something for the soldiers to vent their anger. Just like during the Su Jun rebellion in the previous dynasty, Yu Liang was defeated and fled. However, her sister Yu Wenjun was the Queen Mother at the time, but news of her death came a few months later. Historical records say "the emperor collapsed due to worries", but in the Jin Dynasty the book described the actions of the rebellious army as, "Sexing the ladies naked." It is self-evident what happened to Yu Wenjun in front of her.

"Not worthy of trust? I have always run the army with benevolence and righteousness, so naturally I will not treat Pei Shangshu badly." Yan ordered Yao.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran chuckled, "Rule the army with benevolence and righteousness? If the commander-in-chief can manage the army with benevolence and righteousness, how can he tolerate his soldiers burning, killing, raping and looting in the palace. You can't stop them, so you can only acquiesce in their actions. Because you Know that once you are stopped, the butcher's knife will most likely fall on you."

His eyes were fixed on Pei Jiaoran in front of him, and murderous intent flashed in Yan Lingyao's eyes.

"Yan Jieshuai, you can divide the money stored in the inner treasury how you want. Why use it to Pei?" Pei Jiaoran put his hand on Chunjun, "But... I watched Pei open the inner treasury for Jieshuai." Go up. I hope Commander Ji will not embarrass the people in the city and other innocent people. After all, the fault is all Wang Xun’s fault. It was Wang Xun who deducted your rewards."

After saying that, there was a loud sound and the gun came out of its sheath. Pei Jiaoran took advantage of the situation and took a step forward to jump into the air. Then she stepped on the shoulder of the sergeant closest to her and used the force to jump up to the roof. Run towards the Jingfeng Gate.

"Jie Shuai, she ran away!"

Seeing Pei Jiaoran disappearing in front of his eyes, Yan Lingyao sighed heavily.

"Immediately block all exits in Chang'an and be sure to capture Pei Jiaoran."

Under the night, Pei Jiaoran walked on the eaves. After climbing over the wall and entering Chongyifang, I saw that all the doors were closed. She stopped at the entrance of the alley for a while, then turned and walked towards the mansion on the other side.

I touched the front of Li Xiujing's house based on my memory.

Come forward and knock on the door. Not long after, a servant opened the door and looked at her in surprise.

"Pei Jiaoran, Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, would like to see Li Sikong." After saying this, Pei Jiaoran handed over the fish charm.

Looking at the fish charm in her hand, the servant hurriedly invited her in. He also asked Yao to go see Li Sikong.

At this time, Li Sikong was wearing a half-worn robe and pacing in the yard. He was surprised when he saw her coming in. He was about to ask the servant who was leading the way why he didn't inform him first.

Pei Jiaoran said, "I'm disturbing you late at night because I want to take Li Sikong away from Chang'an."

"No, it's good to stay in Chang'an." Li Sikong looked at her and smiled, "Why don't you leave?"

"There was something going on at the government office, so we were delayed for a while. Does Li Sikong really want to stay in Chang'an? Chang'an is not a safe place." Pei Jiaoran said in a tone of voice.

"Shang Shu Pei, do you know that Yan Ling Yao is the successor to the Jingyuan Festival Commander?"

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran nodded, thinking in his eyes. Suddenly, I remembered something that Yan Ling Yao was the successor of Jiedushi. The previous Jingyuan Jiedushi, Dugujun, was still in Chang'an City and had been granted the title of Taiwei by Emperor Wei not long ago. And he is also Dugujun's elder brother. If she were Yan Ling Yao, she would most likely support him as emperor.

Seeing Pei Jiaoran like this, Li Sikong smiled slightly and said, "Pei Shangshu is really right. Yan Ling Yao has no prestige, so naturally he dare not proclaim himself emperor. Dugujun, who holds the title of Taiwei, is more suitable than him. Dugujun and I still have a few points." He won't embarrass me because of our old friendship. If I stay, I can also protect the officials and people who didn't have time to escape."

Pei Jiaoran said nothing, but looked at Li Sikong quietly. She didn't know if the two were actually friends, but she didn't deny that the idea was wrong. After all, Emperor Wei fled in a hurry, and many officials in Chang'an City did not have time to evacuate. If you don't want to succumb to the rebels' swords, you also want to live a stable life. They really need someone to deal with the rebels on their behalf and stabilize the situation.

The autumn wind blew a cluster of bamboos planted in the courtyard. The withered yellow bamboo leaves fell one after another. Some of them were picked up by the wind and landed at the feet of the two of them. The lanterns under the eaves swayed lightly.

"Strictly ordering Yao to get the money from the inner treasury should not embarrass the people in the city too much. But it is better not to protect some people Sikong." After saying that, Pei Jiaoran handed over to Li Sikong and turned around to leave.

Originally, she cared that she and the Li family were allies, so it was reasonable to escort them out of Chang'an. When she heard Li Sikong's thoughts, she gave up the idea. It is true that Chang'an City needs someone to stabilize the situation between the court and the rebels.

After leaving the Li family, Pei Jiaoran returned to his house to pack his things.

When Sergeant Jingyuan entered Chang'an City in the morning, he went to kill Jing Zhaoyin first. Seeing this, the people were frightened and fled one after another. Although Jingyuan soldiers have been explaining that they have no ill intentions and will not charge them more taxes. But the people are always afraid. The doors of every house are closed, and even the doors of the houses are closed.

Now that the doors are closed, it gives her a chance to rest.

It was getting light, and Pei Jiaoran opened his eyes and stood up quickly. She changed into a moon-white Taoist robe and pretended to be a female crown prince. Taking advantage of the laxity of the defenders at the top of the city, he successfully broke out of Chang'an City with his exquisite light skills.

She galloped under the morning breeze, one by one, as if she felt the blatant call of power. A smile appeared on Pei Jiaoran's face.
