In the rising water vapor, Yan Nanfei was soaked in the water naked. He lifted the scoop and scooped the water one after another, dripping it from his head, letting the hot water pass through the ends of his hair, flow through his face, and then slipped off his well-maintained skin. His face was very entangled. The princess hadn't figured out where she was going, but she was clear. Just think about the series of orders issued by Dingzhou before, and you will know where Li Qing was going to go. Go or not? He was in a dilemma.

"I've seen the Grand Marshal!" Yan Nanfei, who had cleaned up a little more refreshed, bowed to the ground.

Li Qing, who was reviewing the official document, raised his head when he heard the sound. When he saw Yan Nanfei, he laughed, put down the princess in his hand, raised his hand and stroked it softly, and said, "Mr. Yan, it's been a long time since I saw you. Please sit down! Hu Zi, have tea!"

"Thank you, Marshal!" Yan Nanfei bowed again and sat sideways on his lower head. Tang Hu brought tea. Looking at Tang Hu's face, he knew that there were not a few tea leaves floating in the cup.

Li Qing looked up and down at Yan Nanfei. The disciples taught by the Chief Aid of the Great Chu were naturally extraordinary. After so much immersed in the Luoyang officialdom, he had a good ability and skill. However, as he arrived in Dingzhou, he kicked the iron plate and hit the wall everywhere, and was full of his head. After half a year, he finally smoothed his original edges and his mentality became calm. The drastic changes in the political situation of Great Chu made him see the form clearly. It would be a pity for such a person not to use it. What's more, Li Qing is now considered to be eager to seek talents, but this person is difficult to use. I'm afraid that he has not given up completely. If he can really help him wholeheartedly, Li Qing felt that he had another pillar like Shang Haibo or Lu Yiming.

Li Qing stared at Yan Nanfei unscrupulously, but Yan Nanfei was very calm, sitting upright, without moving.

"Speaking of this, Mr. Yan has been to Dingzhou for half a year, but we have not met many times. Li Qing is very sorry that Mr. Yan's name Li Qing has long admired."

"You are humiliating to the Qing Dynasty!" Yan Nanfei said in a whisper.

Li Qing smiled and said, "Mr. Yan is doing well here, but is he still used to it?"

Yan Nanfei said: "After the inquiry from the Grand Marshal, Nanfei has been through good things and is quite used to it." Yan Nanfei replied against his will, looking at Li Qing with a smile and looking at him without saying anything. His face turned red involuntarily. Finally, after taking a breath, he said: "The Grand Marshal laughed, but Nanfei has been through bad things and is very unhappy!"

Li Qing laughed, "This is the truth, Mr. Yan, do you know why you are unhappy in Dingzhou or Fuzhou and are hitting walls everywhere?"

Yan Nanfei was extremely depressed and thought to himself that this was not thanks to your general's care. But he could not say this, so he could only remain silent to protest.

Li Qing stared at Yan Nanfei's eyes and said word by word: "That's because Mr. Yan didn't figure out one thing. This is wrong. Whatever you do here is wrong."

Yan Nanfei bowed and said, "Yan is stupid, please give me some advice."

"Whether it is Dingzhou, Fuzhou, or it will be merged into Bingzhou under my rule, or the grassland, they only need one owner and one voice. If you want to start a stove here and make a different sound, it will naturally be impossible to achieve it." Li Qing raised his head. "No matter who it is, as long as he violates this iron law, he will never be able to make a difference."

Hearing Li Qing's domineering words, Yan Nanfei wanted to refute that whether it is Dingzhou, Fuzhou or Bingzhou, there is a higher level of survival above you, Li Qing, that is, the current Emperor of Great Chu, but before he could say this, he was discouraged. Does the current Great Chu still have the emperor to speak? Tianqi died suddenly, and his teacher was trapped in the imperial prison, and his life and death were unknown. The Great Chu had collapsed.

"Mr. Yan's talent is outstanding, so it should not be difficult to understand this truth, or are you unwilling to face this situation at all?" Li Qing asked after looking at Yan Nanfei with a pale face.

"I..." Yan Nanfei wanted to speak but stopped.

"I naturally understand that you are trusted and do not want to betray your faith, but Mr. Yan, I want to ask you, are you willing to let your knowledge learn about it, and you will be huddled at home every day, drowning your sorrows with alcohol, drowning your sorrows, and letting the world change, but you are just a spectator in this tide, and then drown in the waves of history, silently?" Li Qing asked.

"Of course I don't want it, but what about this feeling?" Yan Nanfei raised his head.

"So I found a place for you." Li Qing said, "If you put you in Dingzhou and any of the three states, it will make many people fantasy, and put you in a dilemma, it will make me feel uneasy, and it will make other subordinates in Dingzhou suspicious of you. Foreign enemies are not scary, and the most feared thing is that disasters arise within the Xiao Wall. Mr. Yan, I cherish your talent and want to rely on you. To be honest, my subordinates can have talents, especially not many talented people in the civil administration, and it is even difficult to pick out a few people who stand alone. This is why I value you. When you go to this place, you can avoid some complicated things, and secondly, you can calm down and take a look and think about what to do in the future? How?"

Yan Nanfei struggled in his heart, "Does the Grand Marshal want me to go to the Xidu Protectorate?"

"Yes, compared with the Eastern Protectorate, the governance of the Western Prefecture is particularly difficult. Those who are not talented cannot be taken by them. Mr. Yan is the most ideal candidate in my mind. Of course, I will not make things difficult for Mr. Yan. If you want, go, I don't want to be strong!" Li Qing picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said so much, but his throat was very dry.

Yan Nanfei's forehead was slightly soaked, and promised Li Qing basically meant that he betrayed Qingcheng and betrayed the promise he had given to his teacher when he left the capital. But the seat given by Li Qing was extremely attractive. Under the rule of Xifu, he spanned thousands of miles. Although he was poor and deserted, it was easier to achieve results in such a place. If he could naturalize the Wei people in Shi, his name would definitely be recorded in history. Isn't this what every scholar dreams of? Not everyone has the opportunity to be famous in history.

"Will the princess agree to let me go?" During the struggle, Yan Nanfei finally found his own answer.

When Li Qing heard Yan Nanfei’s question, he was overjoyed and agreed to himself.

"I said hello to Qingcheng, she has agreed!" Li Qing smiled. In fact, Qingcheng only agreed to let Li Qing use Yan Nanfei. As for how to use it, she didn't know at all.

Yan Nanfei lowered his head and pondered for a moment, stood up, tidied up his clothes, and saluted Li Qing and said, "I have met the general!"

Li Qing laughed loudly, "Mr. Yan, don't be too polite. It will be a family in the future. I think after Master Yan knows that I have used your news, he must have guessed where I want to send you. Have you ever thought about the governance of the Xidu Protectorate?"

Yan Nanfei said: "In a hurry, there is no good plan, but Nanfei thinks that only three things can make the Xidu Protectorate last for a long time."

"Those three things?"

"One of them is to quell the rebellion. Between Dingzhou and Shiwei, and between Shiwei and the barbarians on the grassland, there must be people with ulterior motives gathering people to rebel, so the first thing the Xidu Protectorate does is to quell the rebellion."

"The second is naturalization. The first rebellion is to let Shi Wei develop a naturalization mind towards the Central Plains. This involves a series of policies such as people's livelihood and culture. It is easy to say but difficult to do."

"The third is Dazhi. In fact, after completing the first two things, the third thing is simple. With the strong support of Dingzhou, I think the Xidu Protectorate will soon prosper and become a powerful arm support for Dingzhou!"

Li Qing nodded slightly. He did not read the wrong person. In such a short time, Yan Nanfei had already thought through how to manage the Xidu Protectorate, and he was indeed a talented person.

"Since that's the case, how long will it take?" Li Qing asked.

Yan Nanfei opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Five years!"

"Can it take three years?" Li Qing said.

"It's very difficult!" Yan Nanfei answered neatly.

Li Qing stood up, walked to the hall, paced back and forth for several circles, and pondered: "I hope it will be three years. Lord Yan, if you accomplish this feat in three years, I will transfer you back and have a more important seat waiting for you. I believe that after three years, you will also figure it out and see it clearly, and you will have no worries in your heart at that time. You can do your best to serve me."

Yan Nanfei said: "My subordinates do their best."

"It's so good. In Bayankala, more than 10,000 troops under Guan Xinglong's troops were training. After you go down, you pack up your things and take people to Bayankala to meet him and come out of seclusion together. At the same time, at Shiwei Port, I will also deploy a navy to help you."

"Thank you, the general. Since that's the case, Nanfei will leave!" Yan Nanfei bowed and said.

Li Qing nodded, "You go, go and say goodbye to Qingcheng, and then go and find Director Qingfeng of the Statistics and Investigation Department. In her place, a family member who escaped from your teacher's mansion and a letter from your teacher."

"Teacher?" Yan Nanfei was shocked.

"Yes, a month ago, this person went through a lot of hardships before he fled to Dingzhou. Now he is the person in Director Qingfeng!"

Yan Nanfei was worried about Chen Xiyan's safety, and immediately bowed to Li Qing hurriedly, and ran out in a panic, but he almost tripped by the threshold. Li Qing smiled, but he had read the letter from Chen Xiyan. I believe that with this letter, Yan Nanfei would think more clearly.

After seeing Yan Nanfei off, Tang Hu walked in and said, "Master General, Deng Peng, the commander of the Fuzhou Navy, has arrived and is waiting for the summons of the general outside!"

Li Qing was overjoyed, "He came quickly, please!"

Since Deng Peng surrendered to Li Qing, everything went well. His wishes were fulfilled all the time. He seemed to be several years younger, no longer the way he looked like he was when Li Qing saw him. "Deng Peng had met the commander!" As soon as he saw Li Qing, Deng Peng immediately pushed the gold mountain, turned the jade pillar, and paid a great gift to worship.

He laughed and helped Deng Peng up, "Teach Deng Peng has been here for a long time. I am used to riding a boat, but I am still used to riding a horse?"

"Deng Peng is used to the care of the Grandmaster."

Hearing this unique answer, Li Qing laughed happily, "I heard that you have settled your little master in Dingzhou City?"

Deng Peng nodded and said, "That's right, my subordinates have bought a house in Dingzhou and settled their small capital in Dingzhou City. In the future, I will ask the Grand Marshal to take care of him!"
