After dealing with Zuo Yufeng, Pei Jingyi asked the county magistrate to release all the people captured by the bandits and immediately returned to the post station. He still had important things to do and could not delay too long, let alone create unnecessary trouble.

After returning, he told Xie Shuyao what he had just heard.

Xie Shuyao was surprised after hearing this: "You mean, besides the group just now, there are still a few bandits around Lucheng? Oh my God, how can the common people live?"

Pei Jingyi lowered his eyes and said in a heavy tone, "When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact? This is not only the case in Lucheng, but also in other places around Youzhou."

Seeing that he was anxious, Xie Shuyao raised her hand and hugged him, comforting him: "Since you are here, everything will be fine."

At this moment, Jiang Dong knocked on the door and said, "General, the people from the Shenji Camp have arrived."

"What? The reinforcements your majesty is talking about are the Shenji Battalion?"

"Everyone knows that the Shenjiying is the imperial court's watchdog. They are not helping us, they are here to monitor us."

"That's right. Isn't it obvious that they are placing spies around them?"

Jiang Dong looked at everyone talking at once and quickly called a halt: "Stop, stop, stop. You all know that the Shenjiying is His Majesty's men, so be careful with your words."

Although he was annoyed by the people in the Shenjiying, but now that things have come to this, he can only say: "A man of integrity is not afraid of his own shadow. We have nothing to fear, so let's all go."

Xie Shuyao also listened to the stories about the Shenji Camp.

The more she listened, the more familiar the name sounded. Shen Jiying, isn't that...

Just when she was about to remember, a mocking voice suddenly rang in her ears: "Xie Shuyao, you really came. Pei Jingyi is really amazing. He brought all kinds of people with him when he went out to fight."

Xie Shuyao closed her eyes tightly and suddenly remembered something.

She turned her head and met Xie Lanzhao's arrogant and condescending face. She couldn't help rolling her eyes.

It's really a narrow road for enemies to meet. She has run so far away, but the people from the Xie family are still lingering around.

Seeing that Xie Lanzhao looked like she wanted to quarrel, Xie Shuyao was not afraid at all and imitated her sarcastically and said, "Isn't this my arrogant, cold-blooded and heartless sister?"

When Xie Lanzhao heard her calling him sister, he immediately exploded and said angrily: "Why are you calling me that? Who is your sister?"

Back then, Xie Lanzhao was born as a twin, and she originally had a younger sister.

But in the year Xie Shuyao was born, both of them fell seriously ill. Xie Lanzhao survived after rescue, but her sister died.

So, she hated Xie Shuyao from the bottom of her heart.

Xie Shuyao had no idea what she was thinking, let alone the "bad luck" that the Xie family had imposed on her. She just followed her words and said, "Since you are not my sister, and we have no relationship, why did you come over to say hello? You have nothing better to do than to eat!"

Although Xie Lanzhao had heard about Xie Shuyao's drastic change in personality from letters from home, she was still surprised when they met face to face.

Is this still the silly girl? How come she is so eloquent now?

Xie Lanzhao was choked, but she refused to admit defeat and said sinisterly, "Okay, you dare to talk to me like that. You are married now, and you feel that you have your husband's support, right?"

"But it's a pity. Let me tell you, the Pei family is not a wealthy family, and Pei Jingyi is even less so. I heard that he faked his death and escaped after being beaten by the enemy. I think he is just a coward. If you expect him to protect you, I think you'd better run away with your tail between your legs."

It's not the first time that Xie Lanzhao has looked down on Pei Jingyi. In fact, if it weren't for Xie Shuyao, she and Pei Jingyi would have been husband and wife.
