"Thank you for saving my life. The general saved me twice. This kind of kindness is broken to pieces and it is hard to repay." After these officials left, Dong Bai said to Pei Qing with gratitude.

However, Pei Qing sighed softly: "You obviously have the opportunity to escape, but why do you want to stay? Don't you know how dangerous it will be for you to stay? Even though today's storm has passed, you will not be at peace in the future, unless you are sincerely a little girl around the princess."

Dong Bai smiled bitterly and said, "I can indeed leave, but where did you let me go? The world is so big, but there is no place for me to live in. The first reaction of those hypocritical officials when they see me was greed. I could see the greed in their eyes, but after I got my identity, they all became very scared, fearful, as if they were scorpions, and they were afraid of it. Because I am Dong Zhuo's granddaughter. If I had anything to do with me, their political future would be completely over, so they changed to another face and wanted to kill me. Fortunately, you came, otherwise I would have to die. As for the future, can I have a future? It would be nice to be able to live in the present."

"Ahem, Xiaobai, things are not as you thought. Actually, what I meant just now is that you can have the opportunity to avoid similar storms in the future, but this method is a bit humiliating for you..."

"General, do you think I was the maid of the princess? What's the humiliation? Who is the general, Dong Bai, who is me? He is just a daughter of a sinner. The maid of being a princess is the best ending for me."

Of course, Dong Bai knew that being someone else's maid would mean that he would become a slave from now on, but this was indeed the best ending for her. In addition, she had already established a deeper relationship with Liu Ning before, and I believe that Liu Ning will treat her well in the future.

"The princess is on her way to Chang'an now. I believe she will return to Chang'an soon. You can stay here with peace of mind first. I have arranged a special person to guard it, and almost everyone knows that you are the princess, and they will never dare to touch you."

Pei Qing explained to Dong Bai, then left silently.

Dong Bai opened his mouth and wanted to say that she could take care of Pei Qing's daily life with her first, but she finally didn't say it.

Of course, Pei Qing did not see Dong Bai's expression. In fact, people like Pei Qing are still more delicate when controlling their subordinates, but when facing the feelings of girls, they become big pigs.

The following days were very smooth, and the situation in Chang'an quickly settled down. However, after all, after a long period of war, the city seemed a little declining. The problems of food shortages and population were plaguing the city, which made the imperial capital look very dissatisfied.

So Pei Qing considered to let the little emperor move the capital, preferably to his territory, and Xu County was the most ideal place, because it was located at the core of Pei Qing's power, so there was no need to worry about security issues, and it could also firmly control the little emperor to Pei Qing, so as to achieve his goal of holding the emperor to command the princes.

However, Pei Qing also knew that this matter should not be too hasty, because moving the capital was not a small problem. The Xu County Palace has not been built yet, and if you want to build it, you must obtain the consent of the young emperor. Otherwise, if you build a palace within your own rule, it will be easy to give people a polite attitude and be praised as having a disobedient heart.

In addition, if you have just conquered Chang'an, if you just take the emperor and all officials away, you will probably be disappointed in Guanzhong. In this way, the construction of Guanzhong will not be easy to carry out in the future.

So Pei Qing could only wait quietly and speak when the opportunity was right.

"Although I am almost the most powerful prince in the world now, and I am in power, and I can almost recommend talents to the court as I want, but I also have my difficulties, because now Dong Cheng has been appointed as General of the Cheqi, Yang Feng was appointed as General of the Guard, and Yang Ding was appointed as former general. These three people are important ministers of the emperor, but they are not so close to me, and their relationship with the emperor is closer. Although I am the emperor's brother-in-law, it is difficult to prevent these three people from fiddling in the middle. Since ancient times, they have been very successful in such a thing as the master. Although the young emperor is young, he is the emperor after all, and it is hard to guarantee that he will not be suspicious of me."

"And there is another section where I call on so many talents in the name of loyalty and righteousness, so I can't tell whether they are loyal to the court or to me. Although there is no difference between the two now, what about the future? Who can I guarantee that there will be no differences? Who should I believe at that time?"

Pei Qing is very distressed now. People's hearts are the most difficult to predict, and loyalty is even more difficult to grasp. If loyalty can be expressed directly with data like basic attributes, that would be great. As long as loyalty is high enough, you can fully trust it and you don't have to be as painful as you are now.

"Fortunately, I believe that the differences between me and the court will have to wait for a while before they can arise. After all, if I am young today, I have no ability to take charge of the rule, and I have just made contributions to the country and am the emperor's future brother-in-law. At this time, who will he believe if he doesn't believe me? But I still have to marry the princess as soon as possible, so that he will reduce his vigilance against me. Even if possible, I can entrust the princess to govern on his behalf. This will make me even more selfless. However, will the princess have a disagreement with me and even lead to a breakdown of the relationship? This is also a big problem, so in the final analysis, it is still a matter of loyalty."

Although Pei Qing didn't want this day to come, he had to prepare for the future. After all, his true foundation in this world is not deep. Once he encounters any unexpected situation, he must rely on himself to save himself.

However, Pei Qing believes that after she and Liu Ning get married, Liu Ning's loyalty to her will definitely increase a lot, after all, her virtuous value is there.

Therefore, Pei Qing was eager to see Liu Ning arrive earlier, so that he could use his marriage to Liu Ning to consolidate the trust of the young emperor, so as to further manage Pei Qing and the princess and the emperor's trust. In this way, when he persuaded the young emperor to move the capital, the young emperor would not refuse.

"But before that, I must find a way to surrender Uncle and Nephew Zhang Ji. They are now guilty and it is easy to gain their loyalty to me. What's more, I still have the Zou card in my hand. If I don't believe that after playing this card, Uncle and Nephew Zhang Ji will not accept it."

Thinking of this, Pei Qing decided to surrender Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew and Hu Cheer first to gain more talents for himself.

However, at this moment, Dong Bai came to visit and said that he was willing to surrender Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew for him.

Pei Qing was of course very happy when he heard this and immediately ordered someone to welcome Dong Bai in.
