Lai Zhen was filled with sadness from thousands of miles from Shuofang to Kucha Town, but even though he traveled day and night, it took him more than ten days to arrive. When he rushed into the Anxi Protectorate Mansion and saw the cold coffin in the funeral hall, he couldn't help but soften his knees and kneel down to the ground, and then burst into tears. His mother finally waited for his son to return, but in this situation, she naturally burst into tears, and the younger brothers and sisters were the same. For a moment, the whole funeral hall was filled with mourning, and even the officials who came to help handle the funeral could not help but sigh.

Because Du Shiyi and Lai Zhen recommended it together, and he also tried his best to show that Feng Changqing was the inspector of Lai Yao's office, but he died less than two years after taking office. In addition to the saddest family, Feng Changqing was also sad. Now the signs of civil strife in the Western Regions have been obvious, so the court responded quite quickly to Lai Yao's death. The new appointment had arrived in Kucha Town, but Beiting Jieduan Gai Jiayun also served as the deputy governor of Anxi and Jieduan Jixi. Once the emperor was a minister, Gai Jiayun was a complete military general. He scolded his subordinates at all times. There were not many decent scholars in the shogunate.

As the official of Laiyao's old shogunate, none of them were left to the post, and all the people were discouraged by it.

Even so, Feng Changqing cheered up and helped Lai Zhen run forward and back. Lai Zhen finished the funeral as a filial son and prepared to carry the coffin back to the state, but he met Feng Changqing alone. When he learned about the bad attitude of Gai Jiayun, the new governor of Jixi, toward his father's shogun, he couldn't help but sigh with a sigh.

"Chang Qing, Grandpa is no longer here now. Although I am willing to help, I am no longer able to do so. I now understand how rare it is to be able to use the former Shishang old man like Du, and I am so worried about my confidant. I have been busy these days because of the funeral. Although it is already late, please accompany me to the shogunate offices and allow me to thank you in person."

Feng Changqing returned to Kucha Town and entered the Anxi Protectorate. Lai Yao was the master of the Mu. He had heard that Lai Zhen used to be the master of his past - he was just a arrogant person, an impatient temper, and sometimes he could not tolerate others - he had only had a deal with Lai Zhen once in Shuofang, and he was not deeply impressed by this, but now Lai Zhen is back, which is another scene. He couldn't help but be curious about his experience in Du Shiyi's shogunate. He accompanied Lai Zhen to thank him everywhere. When the old shogunate who had followed Lai Yao for many years mentioned the old shogunate, he either cried or lamented his early death, or had high expectations for Lai Zhen. He admired the remedy of the late son of the Shishiyi on the eve of leaving.

What made him feel most thrilled was that Lai Zhen gave a big thanks to the two judges who had been assisting his father for the longest time, and then made a promise: "As the son of my two, I am grateful for the love between you and your grandfather. If the two of you choose officials in the future, it would be the best to meet your wishes. If the officials in the court cannot use talents, I will be lucky enough to inherit my father's mantle in the future, and I will definitely not let you waste it."

When I said this, my ambition was beyond words. The two judges of the Jiedushi had known that the Jiedushi had great ambitions, but now I can't help but feel moved when I heard this confession. Even though I was not optimistic that Lai Zhen could reach the height of his father in ten or twenty years, they probably wouldn't be able to wait for so many years, but such a statement still moved them.

After visiting everyone, he returned to the Anxi Protectorate Mansion, which was no longer his or his family. After Lai Zhen sat down, he stroked his father's familiar case. He was polished to a very smooth and smooth manner for countless days and nights, as well as those paper and pen-washing and other objects, and he couldn't help but look down at Feng Changqing after a while.

"Chang Qing, now General Du is under Shuofang, and no one dares to disobey him. If you feel that you have to endure the years and do nothing, you might as well go to Shuofang. I think General Du should settle you well."

"Thank you, my son, but I have been invited by the envoy of the King of Yizhou and plan to go to Yizhou."

Feng Changqing shook his head, and then remembered Du Anzhi who was ordered to rush to Tingzhou to meet Gai Jiayun. Compared to him, Du Anzhi, a foreigner, was only more difficult to endure in the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion alone. Although the governor of Yizhou, Wang Han, could not sign him as an official, at least he would pay attention to him and use his advice, he was already very lucky.

Lai Zhen also heard that the governor of Yizhou, Wang Han, was an old friend of Du Shiyi, and he felt relieved. At the early morning of the next day, he and his mother and other younger brothers and sisters carried the coffin out of the Anxi Protectorate Mansion, intending to embark on a long journey back home, looking at the Protectorate Mansion that had left him for many years. He felt all kinds of feelings in his heart, and then turned his head and left resolutely. Among the many people who saw him off, many people sighed, but more people were amazed.

Not far behind Feng Changqing, a side general who was about thirty years old said to his left and right: "Master Lai started his own army, but was promoted repeatedly because of his real military achievements. In the end, the four towns of Anxi were appointed as Minister of the Honglu and General of the Right Leadership. It can be said that he is a model for us. It's a pity that when we arrived at the Master Gai, we were regarded as a waste of our lives. I am afraid that the ending would be much better than the shogunate officials."

Feng Changqing turned his head when he heard the voice. Seeing the side general who was speaking, he looked handsome and tall. He immediately recognized that it was Gao Xianzhi. Gao Xianzhi was weak and had already been appointed as a guerrilla general at the age of 20. He had always been a guerrilla general to attack Tuqi Shi Sulu Khan. Because of his merits, he was promoted to be a new general in the army and was always above the top. But now that Gai Jiayun has taken office, he has not arrived in Kucha Town, but he sneered at the generals of Anxi several times. No wonder even Gao Xianzhi, who was always extremely arrogant, said such words. He was not familiar with the other party, so he just took a look and went back to his residence to pack his luggage.

Although it is a pity to leave like this, even if a person like Gai Jiayun makes great contributions in the future, he is not worthy of loyal follow and serving.

When Du Anzhi saw Gai Jiayun rushing back to Kucha Town, he missed Lai Zhen and Feng Changqing. In the past, his several officials were all arranged by Du Shiyi. Even if there were many difficulties, he could always pass the test smoothly because someone could ask for help. Even if he took office in the Western Regions, because Du Shiyi signed up for Lai Zhen, Lai Yao's attitude towards him went from being cold at first to being close later. Feng Changqing's entry into Lai Yao also gave him a friend who could talk about everything. But now looking at the huge Western Regions, he was left alone, and the feeling of not seeing the future and hope made him feel very discouraged.

That night, the stars in the night sky were just right. After his wife Yuan fell asleep, Du Anzhi, who could not sleep, quietly got up and came to the yard alone. Suddenly, he picked up the wine gourd filled with Western Regions wine, and tilted his neck to take a big mouthful. Although the wine was mellow, he felt depressed.

When Du Shiyi asked him to come to the Western Regions, although he did not make it clear, he vaguely felt that Du Shiyi should be preparing to come to the Western Regions to take office, but in a blink of an eye, Du Shiyi transferred to Shuofang. Now that Lai Yao has passed away, he went to Tingzhou to meet his successor Gai Jiayun because of Lai Yao's order, but this side made him feel very bad about him.

Lai Yao carefully wrote more than ten volumes of manuscripts such as military geography in the Western Regions over the years, and asked him to give them to the next Deputy Chief Protector of Anxi and Jiedushi, but Gai Jiayun lost it without looking at it, claiming that he had been guarding the Beiting Protectorate for many years and could not use Lai Yao to point fingers. He was so disrespectful to the late people, let alone other civil and military officials in Anxi.

"What the hell should I do?"

At this moment, Du Anzhi suddenly heard a soft knock on the door outside, and was a little surprised. He came to Anxi and only brought a dozen families, including five or six wife Yuan's family, five or six servants he had collected during his many years, and two were given to him by his cousin Du Shiyi. He used people as the gatekeeper as the order. Soon, he saw one of the gatekeepers coming in from outside. After the ceremony, he lowered his voice and said, "Alang, it was Shuofang's general Du sent someone to him.

When Du Anzhi heard the news, he was overjoyed and quickly ordered to invite him in. When the visitor entered the yard, he saw that the other party was clean and did not look like he was rushing to Kucha Town. He couldn't help but be suspicious all his life, but the other party's words dispelled his doubts.

"Twenty-one man, I came to Kucha town to attend the funeral. Because Twenty-one man went to Tingzhou, I was afraid of missing it, so I waited here and came here tonight."

When Du Anzhi saw that the other party presented the token, he felt relieved: "So that's it. Brother, what are the instructions?"

"Master Du said that when he heard that Master Gai was originally guarding Beiting, he was always arrogant and relied on his military achievements, he might not take Anxi civil and military officials seriously. It is probably ten times more difficult than before. He suggested that Master Gai might as well make friends with some generals." The person who came was a trusted confidant carefully selected by Huya, and brought a message to Du Shiyi. He paused at this moment and said fluently, "The son of Master came to work in Master Du's shogunate, so if Master came to do this, it would be unbearable to do this. Now, since Master Gai was the most important thing to do on the excuse of rushing cavalry and fighting, he was not allowed to come to Kucha, which was the time when Master Gai made friends."

"Okay, I understand." Du Anzhi's biggest worry is not cold reception, but inaction. He immediately cheered up, "The generals of the four towns are really volatile now, and I will do my best."

"Mr. Du also said that you can buy it if you are a special general. Feng Changqing once mentioned that Gao Xianzhi, the man can try to make friends with him."
