Strategy? I'm at full level and criticizing like crazy, taming sickly villains

Yang Jin somewhat understood what Jiang Li meant, "You mean, you want me to just show off to Yu Chifeng, but I can't really transfer power?"

Jiang Li nodded, "That's what it means. You can teach whatever needs to be taught, but power cannot be delegated to others."

"Uncle Yang, I still have to count on you to help me with the Flame Army. If even this kid Qin Jue takes away, I will lose the right to speak in front of him."

"You should still remember what I told you before and know what I am going to do."

"If we want to truly rely on Qin Jue to successfully turn around and change our destiny, we must have a bargaining chip firmly in our hands."

"The Flame Army is all our bargaining chips, we must not throw them away."

Yang Jin nodded solemnly and said, "I understand."

"But Ali, you also need to know that the most important thing when working in the army is prestige."

"I don't have to give him power, but if he has accumulated a certain amount of prestige in the military on his own, and because his surname is Qin... I may not be able to completely suppress her. Do you understand?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "I understand what you mean, don't worry...he doesn't have that chance."

"Because I will win the respect of the Flame Army before him, from the bottom of my heart."

Yang Jin was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said, "The Flame Army already respects you, and they protect you more than their own lives..."

"No, they respect General Jiang's daughter, not me."

Jiang Li looked at Yang Jin with a smile, "What I'm talking about is me as a person, not my bloodline, nor my identity."

"Uncle Yang, I can't rely on my father for the rest of my life, right?"

Yang Jin understood what she meant and felt a little shocked in his heart.

He suddenly felt that he had underestimated Jiang Li before, and even more underestimated her courage.

Perhaps, she is better than the young master who was expected to inherit the mantle of the general.

If she could say these words, he believed she could do it.

Although he still couldn't imagine why she, a prostitute, had such confidence.

"I understand. I will try my best to buy you time here. Just do whatever you want to do!"

Yang Jin solemnly assured Jiang Li, and then did not forget to remind him, "But no matter what you do, you must remember to pay attention to your own safety. Nothing is as important as your life, you know?"

Jiang Li smiled and nodded, "I understand, then... Qin Jue will be left to you, and I will come over to see you again."

It was time to explain. Jiang Li didn't have any nostalgia. He didn't even see Qin Jue and went back to Ningcheng with Lan Yin.

There was a large group of people when they came, but when they left, Jiang Li only took Lan Yin with him.

The moment he walked out of the military camp, Jiang Li stretched and looked up at the dazzling sunshine in the sky with a relaxed smile on his face.

"I've been resting for a long time, now...it's time to get serious about work."

Lan Yin couldn't help but ask, "When did you take a break? Why do I feel like you've been busy all the time? I'm worried that you might be too tired."

Jiang Li asked with a smile, "If you are addicted to male sex, doesn't that count as a break?"

"Oh, men really affect my speed of drawing the sword too much. I have to cheer up now!"

Jiang Li cheered up and went to meet someone on the night he stayed in Ningcheng.

The governor of Ningcheng, Yue Mingcheng.

Yue Mingcheng is about the same age as Jiang Li's father and is also a close friend of Jiang Li's father.

After Jiang Li's father died in the war three years ago, all the officials close to him, big and small, were actually removed by Emperor Qing one after another.

The only exception is Yue Mingcheng.

Because like Jiang Li's father, he is too excellent, so excellent that if he touches it, it will shake the foundation of the people.

Yue Mingcheng was a rare good official who loved the people like a son. Back then, he and Jiang Li's father swore to defend the people of Ningcheng to the death.

He had outstanding political achievements. If he had not made it clear that he would never leave Ningcheng, given his ability, he would have gone to the capital long ago and become an important official in the capital.

It was precisely because of his integrity and selflessness that he loved the people like a son, so even if Emperor Qing wanted to touch him, he would not dare to do so.

When Jiang Li came to see him, he came as a junior.

However, the relationship between the two of them was quite sensitive, so Jiang Li could only come to visit secretly at night.

However, all the proper etiquette was present, and gifts were carefully prepared.

When Jiang Li met Yue Mingcheng, he found that the man was similar to what he imagined.

This is what most honest officials should look like. Even if they are older, their spirit and character can be seen at a glance.

Even if there are no silks, gold and silver jewelry, people still respect her from the bottom of their bones.

Jiang Li stood up and gave a junior salute to Yue Mingcheng, "Junior Jiang Li, I have met Uncle Yue."

Yue Mingcheng glanced at her and said calmly, "I don't dare to treat Princess Changrong with such a big gift."

Jiang Li was not embarrassed, he just smiled and said, "The one who worships you now is Jiang Li, the daughter of an old friend, not some Princess Evergreen."

"Based on the friendship between Uncle Yue and my father, you are worthy of my worship."

After she said this, Yue Mingcheng really took a deep look at her, and his expression softened slightly.

It seems that before this, Yue Mingcheng had some objections to her, or... to her identity as Princess Changrong.

Jiang Li felt that he might also know something.

While he was thinking in his mind, Jiang Li heard Yue Mingcheng take the initiative to speak, "Junior Jiang Li... Since I am paying my respects as a junior, why come late at night and sneak around?"

"Could it be that you feel that having an intersection with me will bring shame to your face?"

Jiang Li's smile did not change, "What Uncle Yue said is hurtful. You should know that I didn't mean it."

"It's just that if we meet our identities openly, I'm afraid we will arouse the suspicion of the people in the capital."

"Both I and Uncle Yue are not having an easy life now, so why bother ourselves?"

Jiang Li was guessing whether Yue Mingcheng knew something, and Yue Mingcheng was obviously testing how much Jiang Li knew.

If you exchange a few words with me, everyone will know more or less.

Yue Mingcheng gave Jiang Li an inscrutable look, "Well, let's get straight to the point. Why did you come to me?"

Jiang Li was not in a hurry to explain his purpose, and only asked Yue Mingcheng, "Uncle Yue, I have heard about you for a long time. In fact, I have always been curious about something."

"You love the people like your own son, and you dedicated yourself to the people of Ningcheng until your death. There is nothing to say about this. Anyone with eyes can see it."

"But in fact, with your talents, if you don't just live in this corner of Ningcheng, but go to the capital to serve as an official, you should be able to make more contributions to the people of the entire Qing Kingdom and relieve the emperor's worries."

"You knew this, but you didn't do this. Instead, you just stubbornly stayed in Ningcheng."

"So... I wonder if you are an official, are you truly loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and love the people like a son? Or are you just caring about Ningcheng and don't care at all about the life and death of the Qing Emperor or other people?"
