Pei Qin had just been practicing with him when Emperor Chu Wen sent Eunuch Shi Rui, who was in charge, to find Pei Qin.
"Eunuch Shi! What does the Emperor want with me?" Pei Qin asked, puzzled.
Other civil and military chancellors dared not openly inquire about the Emperor's summons, but this one was special. When he inquired without offering a bribe, he still had to accompany it with a smile. He told everything that could be told, "The Emperor wants to speak with the general."
"Oh!" Pei Qin asked casually out of habit and went to see Emperor Chu Wen with him.
Shi Rui saw that she didn't really want to know; it was just an offhand question. He truly admired her for it.
Emperor Chu Wen was standing in front of a map. Seeing her arrive, he spoke in a grave voice, inviting her over, "Beloved Officer Pei! Come and see, another city has been captured by the Rong Clan!"
