Li Xiaofei bought six carriages for the mission in Shou County. Three envoys rode one, four carrying grain, cloth and money and gifts, and the remaining one was for the yellow-clad inner guard to rest. The inner guards were very grateful, and finally they were not afraid of the wind and snow on the road, and no longer had to worry about the lack of inn reception in the north.

On the way, Li Xiaofei asked about the yellow-clad inner guard, and Qin Shun told him one by one: "After the new emperor ascended the throne, he chose two hundred people, all wearing yellow robes, as the emperor's inner guards, but unlike the previous red-clad inner guards, the yellow-clad inner guards did not have a place to interfere in political affairs, but only existed as the emperor's escort. In order to distinguish it from the previous red-clad inner guards, the new emperor liked yellow, all gave yellow robes, the official name was Zhongxiao Army, which was directly led by the emperor. The thirty people sent this time were also asked to train and collect information so that the emperor could know the real situation of other countries."

Li Xiaofei nodded: "It seems that the new emperor wants to do something. How did the emperor explain this time when we are on an envoy?"

Qin Shun looked at Xie Dan, and Xie Dan subconsciously touched his beard: "The emperor does not admire his reputation. This time, he told us that as long as we can make a truce with various countries, we don't care about paying money and goods, as long as we have an equal position, even if we are married, we can accept it."

Qin Shun also echoed: "The emperor knew that Daliang now needs rest and recuperation, so he did not hesitate to bear the infamy of his cowardice, and asked us to reach a peace agreement."

Li Xiaofei pondered for a while: "The emperor is far-sighted, but Li privately felt that marriage is still difficult for a man to accept. Things that men cannot get on the battlefield must be sacrificed to achieve their goals."

Xie Dan sighed: "That's true, many times, for the sake of national plans, we have to make some sacrifices. However, in my opinion, our mission will not be at the point of getting along with them. Although Daliang has been ruined for a long time, they are not much better. Now they can still maintain balance. If any country takes action first, which country will collapse first, and haste will not be achieved."

Li Xiaofei took the speech: "Hastyness means not to achieve success. May I ask what Lord Xie means?"

Qin Shun also spoke: "Mr. Xie just taught us. We finally got interested. Please give me some advice."

Xie Dan laughed: "I didn't pay attention for a moment and brought out the words of Saint Confucius. The original text of this sentence is that there is no haste and no small profit. Haste means no achievement, and small profits will not be achieved. The origin of this sentence is that Zixia, a student of Saint Confucius, wanted to go to Jufu in Lu to become an official and ask Confucius for advice on how to be an official. Saint Confucius said: "Don't just seek fast, don't just care about the small profits in front of you. If you just seek fast, you often cannot achieve your goal; only consider the small profits in front of you, but will make the big thing not successful. Can you understand if I say this?"

Li Xiaofei and Qin Shun applauded: "We understand after Lord Xie said this, that is, we are anxious and unable to eat hot tofu. Don't take advantage of it. That's the reason, Lord Xie."

Xie Dan smiled and said, "Both are smart people, I can do it at a glance. It seems that when we arrived in Chang'an, the two adults could learn something. We don't seek speed or be greedy for too much. I just need to tell this story one or two every day. I made up some nursery rhymes myself, and I will say something to you and see if you can remember it."

Li Xiaofei and Qin Shun agreed happily, and Xie Dan shook his head and began to say, "Man is good in nature, and his nature is similar and his habits are far apart." Li Xiaofei and Qin Shun also shook their heads and started to recite.

When passing by Yingchuan, the three of them went to pay homage to Chen Hongyi and Liu Jian. Chen Hongyi left the three in the city for three days and told them a lot about the Black Flag Khanate, the Green Flag Khanate and the Qin State. It turned out that the Black Flag Khanate and the Green Flag Khanate were both descendants of the Fire Dragon Clan. The Fire Dragon Clan also built a large territory in the north of the Mo and established the Xuan Kingdom. Later, civil strife occurred in Xuan Kingdom, and all the authentic Xuan Kingdom royal families were killed. The two brothers from the Fire Dragon Clan, who were slaves seized the throne and claimed that they were the orthodox Xuan Kingdom. Because their respective flags were different, they were called the Black Flag Khanate and the Green Flag Khanate by people from other countries. Except for tens of thousands of cavalry, the two major khanates did not have any rules and regulations in the Central Plains, so civil strife often occurred because of inheriting the Khanate throne, and they all believed in shamanism, compared with Zhong

It turned out to be too poor. The Qin State of the Hou family now has military power in Hu Jian's hands, and the government's affairs are mainly handled by Cui Hong and Yang Hongzu and Li Zhong. However, the Qin State's system is also relatively chaotic, and it is not called the emperor and the emperor. It has both prime ministers and prime ministers, as well as the generals of the Gudu Hou Shanyu Khan and other official positions, which are neither like the Central Plains dynasty nor the Grassland Khan. The officials of the Qin State have no salary, and the entire country does not have a unified tax rate, so officials have tried their best to exploit the people. Take the tax collection for example. The people of Hongnong have to pay taxes when wearing clothes and shoes, and the people of Yecheng have to pay taxes even more with cattle and grass. The people of Luoyang have even more miserable. The prefect of Luoyang has collected the tax fifty years later, and it is said that they pay the taxes that their descendants should pay in advance to avoid the country's losses.

Li Xiaofei and the other two were dumbfounded. They knew that the Three Kingdoms in the North were not as good as the Central Plains, but they never thought it was so chaotic, and they all laughed. Chen Hongyi also laughed: "We Daliang are not much better, but only a hundred steps to laugh. In the Qin State's view, Daliang had already reached Luoyang and was about to break Tongguan, but at this time the Daliang court actually ordered a truce to save their lives. The people of Daliang were extremely poor. The rebels crossed the border and wanted to plunder them. Our army regained lost land and collected grain. More people became untouchables and had to become slaves of the aristocratic families. They had to farm and serve as corvee and military service for generations. I don't think it would be much better than the north."

Xie Dan and Qin Shun had to remain silent. Li Xiaofei felt lost: "Who are we fighting hard and risking our lives to serve on missions? Do the people in the world deserve to suffer for generations? Lord Chen, Prince, can't you save these people?" Liu Jian patted Li Xiaofei on the shoulder: "Maybe this is all life. For thousands of years, it has been supported by these aristocratic families. Although we are determined to rescue the untouchables and serfs, we cannot eliminate all the aristocratic families. Just like my master, the General of the Cavalry, he can only release the untouchables under his name and give them land and houses. In this way, he has been regarded as an alien by the aristocratic families, so he is constrained everywhere and targeted everywhere."

Qin Shun and Xie Dan also comforted Li Xiaofei, and Li Xiaofei had to sigh: "Well, we are just a blaming person who is not good at being able to turn over. The villain thanks Lord Chen and the prince for their love for the people. I hope there are more officials like Lord Chen and the prince in the world."

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Xiao Qian walked over and pinched Li Xiaofei's nose: "Why did you leave my sister Hongrui alone? Are you thinking about going to Mobei to be a princess and marrying a grassland princess so happy?" Li Xiaofei took a step back and waved his hands: "The princess is here to find me again. I have only sister Hongrui, one wife in my life. How could I marry another woman?"

Xiao Qian refused to give in: "That's not sure. If you go to Mobei and the Khan there insists on keeping you as the prince-consort, then you can't help it. I think in order to prevent you from being detained, I would just ask the military doctor to castrate you, so that no one will keep you as the prince-consort."

Everyone burst into laughter, and Qin Shun said with a blushing face: "The princess is really good at joking with people. Our mission already has me as an internal prisoner. If one more is available, I will lose my job." Liu Jian waved his hand to Xiao Qian: "Hey hey hey, I said princess, don't joke about these envoys from the court. You are not like a daughter of the Xiao Mansion and Princess Han. My master is laughing with his stomach covering his stomach."

Seeing that the atmosphere was eased, Chen Hongyi invited everyone to a banquet and drink to practice it for the envoys.
