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

Even though the control was handed over to Li Xiujing, Pei Jiaoran's hand still touched the reins involuntarily. His fingers gently hooked the reins, then tightened and then relaxed again.

He noticed a faint force on the reins, trying to compete with himself for control of the horse. Li Xiujing lowered his eyes and looked at Pei Jiaoran in his arms, who tensed up. Although he was obviously on guard, he still had to look calm and relaxed to show himself.

Leaning close to Pei Jiaoran's ear, Li Xiujing blew into her neck and whispered: "Didn't you agree to try to believe me?"

Pei Jiaoran looked away as he felt an itching sensation on his neck. He took his hands off the reins and stroked the horse's mane. He said casually: "I'm used to it."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a soft whisper in his ears.

"Then why can't you get used to me?" Li Xiujing said warmly.

"Aren't I getting used to it?" Pei Jiaoran blinked, raised his lips and smiled, "You have to give me some time, right?"

The deliberately prolonged tail sound fell in the ears, as if being brushed by a veil, itching.

Li Xiujing glanced at Pei Jiaoran with a complicated expression and said nothing. His hand gently covered hers.

His palms were broad and warm. The other force that was originally on the reins also relaxed.

"What is the situation in Haozhou City?" Li Xiujing suddenly asked.

"Either Wei Gao and Yuan Gongtai get together and stop me outside the city." Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and smiled, "Or we capture Yuan Gongtai."

Rubbing his chin on Pei Jiaoran's head, Li Xiujing said, "What if the two of them team up to set up a trap?"

"Isn't there still you?" Pei Jiaoran said in a soft tone.

Hearing this, Li Xiujing smiled lightly.

Inside the post house in Haozhou. Wei Gao stood on the second floor with a sullen expression and listened to the report of his sergeant.

As Pei Jiaoran expected, Yuan Gongtai's people pretended to escort him out of the city, but then they really withdrew. If his estimate was correct, she should be in the other party's trap now.

Can Mr. Pei really get out of trouble?

"Commander Jie, Commander Yuan has ordered all city gates to be closed."

"Follow the previous preparations," Wei Gao said.

"Here."

Dusk has appeared, and the tired birds have returned to their nests. The cold wind was trampled by the rapid sound of horse hooves and scattered in the night wind. There are many shadows of people on the top of the city of Haozhou, and some people are overlooking it.

A team of no more than a hundred people ran out of the dense forest. The two leaders were riding together. The former was wrapped in black fur clothes and looked forward sharply. The latter was wearing a sky-blue crotchless robe, with deep and handsome features under his head, and a faint smile on his lips.

Seeing that they were approaching Haozhou, the team slowed down.

"It seems that Yuan Gongtai doesn't plan to meet with me." Pei Jiaoran raised his head and looked at Haozhou City in the distance, "But I have to go and meet with him."

"What else are you planning?" Li Xiujing chuckled.

"No."

By the time he spoke, he was already near the city. Yuan Gongtai on the top of the city had also seen clearly the appearance of the visitor. The man wrapped in fur clothes was Pei Jiaoran, whom he was most familiar with, with a smile on his face. The young man holding the gun in the other hand looked at him coldly.

"Hey Liang." Pei Jiaoran called.

He Liang stepped forward with a staff in his hand and shouted: "Prince of Yanmen County, Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, Jianghuai Salt and Iron Transfer Envoy, Zhongshu Shilang Pei Jiaoran held the festival and was ordered to travel to Jianghuai. Because the new policy was blocked by Cai Xilie's remaining party, he went out to the city to annihilate it. Those who have rebelled against the party will now be lying in wait for those who rebel against the party. They will enter the city and present the memorial to Heaven. Anyone who dares to interfere will be regarded as a rebel against the party and will be killed without mercy."

As soon as the words fell, a commotion broke out on the city.

Yuan Gongtai stared at the mighty and assertive Li Xiujing beside Pei Jiaoran, and then turned to look at He Liang. Reacting instantly, he was afraid that he had been deceived by the other party. Not only did the accompanying Shence troops not withdraw, they even hid.

Signing to his cronies to calm down the restless sergeant, Yuan Gongtai smiled and said, "Are you the Right Shence General Li Xiujing?"

Li Xiujing ignored him and stood beside Pei Jiaoran. The words hit her red ears with the heat, "Qingqing, do you think I should tell him?"

"Aren't you my face?" Pei Jiaoran motioned to He Liang to get the bow. As he drew his bow and nocked an arrow, he said, "I have an injury on my shoulder and can't use it. You draw the bow for me, and we can scare him."

Li Xiujing followed the instructions and put her hand on Pei Jiaoran's wrist. She bent her elbow like hers and pulled the string hard. The bowstring was fully drawn, and the arrow was pointed upward at Yuan Gongtai.

"Let's let go together." Li Xiujing said.

The force on the arrow was released at the same time, and the arrow flew out.

Seeing the arrows attacking him, Yuan Gongtai hurriedly raised his shield. However, the arrow still passed over his head and nailed the pillar of the veranda behind him. The arrow tail swayed slightly in the wind.

"Pei Jiaoran, you are going too far!" Yuan Gongtai, who had calmed down, roared at the two of them.

"Yuan Gongtai, the evidence of your collusion with the Party is conclusive, do you still want to deny it?" Pei Jiaoran said with a soft gasp in his throat, "The people behind you can't save you."

After saying a few words, Pei Jiaoran bumped Li Xiujing with his elbow and said, "Let's lead him out of the city before we attack him."

"it is good."

Everyone followed the order and retreated twenty miles away and set up camp on the spot.

As soon as the tent was set up, Pei Jiaoran couldn't wait to take off his outer clothes. Through the mirror in front of him, he could see clearly the appearance of the wound. He had exerted all his force just now, and now the wound was bleeding again.

Looking at Li Xiujing's figure outside the tent, Pei Jiaoran took a deep breath. Wu took the ointment and a new bandage and carefully tore off the wrapped bandage.

"Pei Jiaoran, what are you doing?"

Hearing Li Xiujing's voice, Pei Jiaoran turned away with a guilty look on his face, "I'm applying medicine myself. The wound has burst..."

"Can't you call me? And that's my bow just now. It's specially made. Most people can't pull it." Li Xiujing pulled her to sit down and treated her wound again.

Looking at Li Xiujing's figure in the mirror, Pei Jiaoran said: "A special bow? You are really good at bow and horse."

"Don't you know how good my bow and horse are?" Li Xiujing stopped moving, blew on her neck, and wet lips fell on the side of her neck. He murmured: "Mr. Pei..."

The voice was tender and had a hint of stubbornness. Before she could respond, Li Xiujing held the back of her neck with his hand. He kissed off the water stains on the corners of his lips, moved the wetness wrapped in resentment to his lips, and rubbed it gently. Sensing her dodge, he frowned slightly and bit her lip unwillingly, unreasonably. His fingers were tangled in the black hair, and his lips and teeth were close to the flesh. It was as if he wanted to be entangled with her to the end.

Almost suffocated by the kiss, Pei Jiaoran grabbed Li Xiujing's robe. His body couldn't help but arch under the stress, and he opened his eyes, "Are you still angry?"

Her tone was as determined as ever, as if she had seen through the emotions he was trying so hard to hide.

After letting go of Pei Jiaoran, Li Xiujing closed her eyes and said, "I can't worry about you, so I'm back. Don't worry, I've already considered the consequences. And Cen Xi told me to act according to the situation."

"My legs are on you. It's not up to me to decide whether to leave or stay." Pei Jiaoran straightened his clothes silently, "I said it would be a good thing for me to have you back. Xuanyin, thank you."

Hearing this, Li Xiujing snorted coldly.

"If Yuan Gongtai is forced like this by me, he will probably go out of the city to intercept and kill me tomorrow. Then it will be more justified for you and me to take action." Pei Jiaoran said.

"I understand. It's late at night, so go to bed early. I'll just sit on the chair all night." After that, Li Xiujing stood up.

"It shouldn't be a problem for two people to squeeze in, right?"

"What should I do if I touch your wound? Pei Jiaoran, you..." Li Xiujing glared at her and hesitated to speak.

He squinted his eyes and looked at Li Xiujing. However, he just leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes to sleep.

The sound of slight snoring reached his ears, and Pei Jiaoran glanced at Li Xiujing, who was already asleep, with a smile on his lips.

According to Li Xiujing's traveling speed, he probably traveled day and night to come back to find her. It seems that I have to find a way to resolve this matter.

With his thoughts at this point, Pei Jiaoran narrowed his eyes.
