They had heard that they could become immortals by following Pei Yun, but they had to make contributions. They were all craftsmen and could not fight in battles, so they could only make contributions in other ways.
Building the city wall of Qianhu Suo was a credit, and building a three-story building was also a credit, but the craftsmen felt that these credits were not enough.
Going into the battlefield to kill the enemy means fighting with all your might. They built city walls, houses and so on. Although it was hard work, at least their lives were not in danger.
Therefore, I want to do more to accumulate merit, and now I finally have something to do.
After asking a group of craftsmen to clean up, Pei Yun went to Ruifeng County to find Xue Wenju.
As soon as he arrived at the county government office, he saw Xue Wenju and a white-faced, beardless man who looked like a eunuch going out.
Seeing Pei Yun, Xue Wenju was immediately delighted and said hurriedly, "My dear son-in-law, you came at the right time. I was just about to go to the Qianhu Office to find you. This is Eunuch Cao from the palace, here to read the imperial edict."

Eunuch Cao looked at Pei Yun and said with a smile, "He is indeed a handsome man." Then he took out the imperial edict from his sleeve and said solemnly, "Pei Yun, accept the edict."

Xue Wenju was shocked. This was extremely treasonous. He quickly pulled Pei Yun's sleeve and said with a smile: "Father, please forgive me. This child grew up in the mountains and doesn't know the rules of the court..."
Eunuch Cao waved his hand and said, "No problem, no problem. Then stand and receive the order."
The emperor was very happy that Pei Yun's mission to the Southern Barbarians was successful. He didn't need to offend the other party over such a small matter. To a certain extent, what Pei Yun said was not wrong. He was an imperial envoy and represented the emperor. It didn't matter much whether he knelt or not.
"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: Now the traitor Xiao Cheng has gathered his own troops and is resisting stubbornly. I order the Imperial Envoy Pei Yun to go to Nanman to borrow troops immediately and attack the rebels from the southern border of Yizhou. If he succeeds, he will be awarded ten thousand taels of gold and appointed as the deputy commander of Yizhou. I decree this!"
