Qin Shun was ordered to go on a mission. He first studied etiquette with Yuan Kang for five days, and then studied "The Analects of Confucius", "Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "Mencius", "Book of Rites" and "The Book of Songs" at the Imperial Academy for half a month.

Qin Shun studied hard day and night, and on the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, he finally could not memorize the whole article. The Imperial Academy offered wine to Xie Dan and shook his head helplessly.

When Liu Xuan learned about Qin Shun's situation, he didn't take it seriously: "It doesn't matter if you can't memorize it. It will always be useful to find a knowledgeable person to follow you as a deputy and teach and learn along the way. I think I will increase the Imperial Academy's offering of wine to Xie Dan

Professor Qin Shun and Li Xiaofei are accompanying the deputy envoy."

Qin Shun and Xie Dan were ordered to go to Shouxian County on the fifth day of February to look for Li Xiaofei to issue the imperial edict.

Li Xiaofei was grazing cattle on the edge of Wabu Lake, carrying a bamboo basket and cutting grass and humming a tune. A group of children from a distance came running over: "Brother Li, Brother Li, you are going to be an official again. A eunuch and many other people have come to the village."

Man, it’s said that the emperor appointed you an official.”

Li Xiaofei thought that the children were having fun with him, so he casually said a few words and continued to mow the grass. Another group of yellow-robed cavalry came from a distance and shouted: "Li Xiaofei has accepted the order and listened to the imperial edict!" "Where is Li Xiaofei?"

Li Xiaofei then put the knife into the bamboo basket and led the cow towards him. The yellow-robed officer who led him looked carefully. Li Xiaofei turned around and asked the others: "Is it wrong? This is clearly a teenager. Your Majesty will

Let him be the deputy envoy?"

"You can't be wrong, you can't be wrong. I have seen this Li Xiaofei, he is a teenage hero." Qin Shun, who was not good at horseback riding, fell behind and caught up.

Li Xiaofei also recognized Qin Shun: "Prisoner Qin, long time no see. I'm a common man who doesn't care about worldly affairs. Please forgive me for not being rude enough to greet you."

Qin Shun waved on the horse: "Master Li, you are too polite. I will tell you in detail after I announce the edict."

There were more children watching, and Li Xiaofei motioned for them to kneel down. The children looked at the yellow-robed cavalry who had all dismounted and knelt down, and they also knelt down on the ground.

After Qin Shun read out the edict, he signaled everyone to get up, and the group walked to Li Xiaofei's house. On the way, Li Xiaofei asked: "Qin's inner prison, I don't know a few words, and I don't have anything outstanding. I'm afraid it's hard to be a deputy envoy."

"Great responsibility"

Qin Shun laughed heartily: "You are laughing at me, little brother. I am also illiterate. His Majesty the Emperor is wise and found us the Imperial College to offer wine to thank you for teaching us how to read and write."

Li Xiaofei touched his head and worried: "Hey, Brother Qin, I get a headache when I see the book. When I hear the old gentleman reading, I will doze off."

Qin Shun also laughed: "I studied in the Imperial Academy for half a month, and in the end I wanted to cut open my head and put all the books in it. The torture was worse than being beaten. This time, we two brothers are following Mr. Xie

Feeling better”

While talking, he met Xie Dan who was waiting in the village. Xie Dan was not idle for a while, teaching several children to write with bamboo branches on the ground.

Xie Dan bowed his hands and saluted Li Xiaofei, then looked at Qin Shun, who looked depressed, and laughed: "Don't worry, you two. I taught a few children in this village just now. Sage Kong said that students should be taught according to their aptitude. Over the years, I

I have never been able to truly understand it. But today I have realized it. Professors, I will never force you to read and write again."

Li Xiaofei and Qin Shun were relieved and thanked Xie Dan together. They escorted Xie Dan to Li Xiaofei's bamboo house, one on the left and the other on the right.

As soon as he entered the house, Li Xiaofei called to Hongrui to make tea and cook. When Hongrui saw people from the court coming again, he guessed that this peaceful life would not last a few more days.

Li Xiaofei told Qin Shun and Xie Dan that he wanted to take his wife with him on the mission. Qin Shun and Xie Dan agreed after thinking about it, but Hongrui was unwilling to go: "Mobei and the puppet Qin are both at war with us. It's not safe to send an envoy rashly like this."

I don’t know if I can come back alive. Xiaofei is on an envoy, and I’ll go back to Xiao Mansion in Chuzhou and wait for you to come back.” Li Xiaofei stood up and hugged Hongrui: “I really can’t bear to leave my sister. Since it’s extremely dangerous, I’ll go alone.”

Okay." Hongrui nodded and packed up.

Qin Shun coughed twice: "Since Mrs. Li is going back to Chuzhou, I will send five yellow-robed guards to escort her. The envoy's family must not make any mistakes."

Li Xiaofei thanked him with his hand, and Xie Dan touched his beard: "This mission may not be dangerous, especially since the Qin State has just experienced civil strife, and the new master will not harm the envoy after he succeeds."

Li Xiaofei suddenly remembered his enemy Hou Zhao, and asked eagerly: "Master Xie, what official position does the evil Hou Zhao have in the Qin State now?"

Xie Dan laughed: "Haha, Hou Zhao has gone to the underworld to become an official. Hou Zhaozuo killed Hou Tianzhou indiscriminately, and Hou Zhao was killed by Hou Tianzhou's men."

Li Xiaofei was very disappointed and sighed: "It's a pity that I can't avenge the blood feud of the whole village with my own hands, so these thieves can take advantage of them!"

Qin Shun and Xie Dan were stunned and asked about Li Xiaofei. Li Xiaofei told them about his experience. Xie Dan said sincerely: "No wonder you were selected by the emperor to be the deputy envoy at a young age. It turns out you have experienced

I have to admire these many hardships and life and death. I just heard you tell the names of many people. It seems that you are very talented and have a good memory. I have an idea about what to teach you, so I will use the things in this book.

I'll talk to you a few times a day just like chatting. I think you can probably remember it. As for Qin Zhengshi, I heard children singing nursery rhymes earlier. I can make up some songs for you to sing with the guards.

This way you can remember a lot. What do you think?"

Li Xiaofei and Qin Shun looked at Xie Dan in surprise. In their opinion, a person as knowledgeable as Xie Dan must be as rigid as Yuan Kang. As a result, this old gentleman actually came up with the idea of ​​singing and telling stories, and the two immediately

Kneel down and bow: "Teacher, please bow to me!"

Xie Dan pulled the two of them up: "I have taught many students in my life, but it is today that I truly understand the word professor. It seems that I have been in the palace for a long time and do not know the local people. No matter how much knowledge I have, it is in vain. In fact,

You are also my teachers. In terms of bravery in fighting, I am not as good as Mr. Li. In terms of adaptability, I am not as good as Mr. Qin. Now I can really do what my senior brother Wang Qinian often said: live and learn."

As soon as he heard Wang Qinian's name, Li Xiaofei remembered his meeting with Mr. Wang Qinian last year. He told Xie Dan about it, and Xie Dan praised him repeatedly: "My senior brother is unpredictable. I'm afraid he had guessed that I would come here.

Then he left this village."

Hong Rui packed up her and Li Xiaofei's luggage and looked at Li Xiaofei up and down: "Xiaofei, you still haven't changed out of your clothes? Are you going on a mission in just plain clothes? Does it show that we, Daliang, are a great nation?"

Li Xiaofei looked at his clothes that were stained with dirt and grass clippings, and hurriedly went to the back room to change. Qin Shun slapped his head and shouted out the door: "Send the court clothes in for Mr. Li quickly."

Qin Shun looked embarrassed: "Mrs. Li, I was in the mood to talk to Mr. Li and Mr. Xie, but I neglected it. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Xie Dan also looked at his casual clothes and laughed loudly: "I'm afraid Mr. Qin won't be able to bear to take it out. I usually don't want to wear the court clothes after I received them. My wife can't tolerate a hair or a trace of mud on my clothes. I often do this at home."

Be disciplined.”

Hongrui blushed: "I made the two adults laugh. I'm going back to Chuzhou first. Take care." After saying that, he walked out. Li Xiaofei stepped forward and took Hongrui's hand and held it: "Sister, take care and wait until I'm safe."

When you return, you must bring spices, jewelry and leather clothes from Mobei to your sister."

Hongrui turned around and reached out to poke Xiaofei's chest: "You are the only one with a poor mouth. I am afraid that you will find another wife in Mobei and forget about your sister."
