Qianlifeng mended each of the three people lying on the ground, sorted out his bags, and walked away like a smoke.

But none of them expected that before General Wen left Jinzhong, he sent several groups of people to send the letter to Luoyang separately. The story that leads to the future is still long.

Why were the Tang siblings so interested in that letter? It all started with an incident that happened a year ago.

The Tang Gate in Shuzhong is a martial arts family, a secret weapon of the Tang Gate, and a must-have martial arts. With the ingenuity of the Tang family and the continuous improvement of production methods, the power of the hidden weapon is enough to deter the Quartet, and the prestige of the Tang Sect has spread far and wide. Many forces, especially when they were competing for hegemony, wanted to win over the Tang Sect to serve them. But the Tang family never chairs one side or the other, which is also an important reason why the Tang family has been enduring for a long time. In addition to cultivating their fields, they also do some business and take on some escort errands from time to time.

The solid family background of the past generations has cultivated the excellent results of Tang Susu. She is as bright and luxurious as a peony flower. With the current perspective, some people may say that she has grown a little fatter. You must know that she is in the late Tang Dynasty, and plump women are the most beautiful.

Tang Susu practiced literature and martial arts, with a flower-like appearance but more pride of a chivalrous woman, and a little playful in her gentleness. Growing up in a boudoir, she longed to see the outside world. She has been clamoring to go dart with her second brother.

Of course, Tang Wuwei would not agree to her request. In those war-torn years, who could rest assured that a girl's family would show up outside? Although friends in the rivers and lakes and various factions gave Tang Men enough face, and almost no one robbed their darts, the family still did not worry about Tang Susu going far away. After all, it is a dart, and the sword and sword shadow are inevitable.

didn't let him go out, Tang Susu tried to sneak away. After learning that her second brother was going to dart, she prepared her bags early, changed into men's clothes and sneaked out of the door first, and went to a small town fifty miles away to wait for the caravan. Tang Wuwei had no choice but to take her.

That time, when the caravan was about to arrive in Jinju, Tang Susu was greedy for the scenery of the northwest on the way, and he actually fell behind and walked alone on the road.

There was the sound of footsteps behind him, and a scholar-like figure caught up from behind. The person who comes has a straight nose and a square mouth, a gentle posture, and a kind eye, giving people a sense of trust and closeness.

Tang Susu: "Where are you going, brother?"

The man replied, "Go home, my family lives on the outskirts of Jinju." Brother Tai is also going to Jinju, right?"

Tang Susu: "Yes. How far is it from Jinju?"

The man: "At my pace, an hour will come." Brother Taichang is similar to a southerner, is it the first time he has come to Jinju?"

Tang Susu: "It's a Shu person." How can Brother Tai see it?"

The man said: "The northern wind is high and dry, and the complexion is red and rough, and the southern wind is gentle and moist, and the complexion is pink and warm. Brother Tai's muscles are like condensation, and his voice is pleasant, although he wears men's clothes, it is difficult to hide his feminine appearance. I'll call you girl instead. ”

Tang Susu raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and said with a smile: "Brother Tai has good eyesight." Indeed, I am a woman disguised as a man, and it is more convenient for me to go far away. Dare to ask your surname?"

The man said: "My surname is Chen, and my name is Xingwen." At this time, the army is in chaos, and the girl is traveling alone, why?"

Tang Susu replied: "My name is Tang Susu, I came with the caravan, I only cared about picking flowers and grass, and I fell behind. ”

"Miss Tang should be careful. Although it is an official road and close to the state capital, there are often strongmen haunting. Although you don't bring any money, you are a daughter after all, so try not to get into trouble. Chen Xingwen said.

A few words made Tang Susu feel good: "Thank you, Brother Chen, for your advice." With you, it's time to be fine. ”

Chen Xingwen smiled slightly: "I have no power to restrain the chicken, if I meet a strong man and a thief, I can't take care of myself, how can I help you?"

Tang Susu: "Don't worry, the caravan is not far ahead." If there is something, you can hear it as soon as you hear it. ”

The two talked as they walked, and came to the farmland again. An old farmer was carrying two wooden buckets to scoop water from a high field and carry it to a low field on the other side of the road.

Chen Xingwen stopped and looked at it and said, "Uncle, why don't you dig a ditch and let the water flow naturally, which can save a lot of effort?"

The old man stretched his waist: "Why didn't I think so? It's just that the official road is not allowed to be excavated, so it has to be so time-consuming and laborious." ”

Chen Xingwen: "Oh, I see. He pondered for a moment, and then said: "I just saw a bamboo forest, the bamboo is one inch thick, and it grows slender, which is just right." I'll teach you how to make a utensil, you don't have to dig a ditch, and the water will flow naturally from here to there. ”

The old man and Tang Susu looked at Chen Xingwen suspiciously.

The old man asked, "How?"

Chen Xingwen: "You penetrate the bamboo inside, cross the road, and then connect a bamboo at each end of it, take the water short, and connect the water to the long." Remember, the interface is not allowed to leak and can be sealed with paraffin. Then fill it with water, arrange the device in a rainbow shape, and then release the exit, and the water can flow across the road to the field. ”

The old man scratched his head: "The water intake is obviously lower than the road pipe, can the water flow to a higher place first?

Chen Xingwen smiled: "Yes." It's a pity that there is no pipe, otherwise I will demonstrate you. ”

"I have!" Tang Susu said, taking out a copper pipe from the baggage behind him. "Shorter, do you think it's useful?" was the blowpipe of her darkener.

Chen Xingwen took the tube and looked at it. "It works, just make a demonstration to prove it. Just bend your tube and it'll be useless. ”

Tang Susu: "It's okay, I still have one." You just get it. ”

Chen Xingwen bent the tube into a bow, then filled it with water, plugged the two ports, inserted one end into the water, placed the other end in a low place, and then loosened the plug at the same time. Water flows out of the lower outlets.

The old man was delighted: "It can really carry water!"

Tang Susu also said happily: "It's really amazing." ”

Chen Xingwen said: "Make a few more, and in an hour, the fields below will be filled." ”

The old man kept his mouth shut, and said again and again: "Thank you, thank you!"

The two quit their uncle and continued to hurry, chatting as they walked.

Tang Susu praised: "I only feel that Brother Chen is a scholar, who can read and hyphenate, make poems and paint, but I didn't expect that the art of machine springs is also so proficient." ”

Chen Xingwen: "When I was a child, I got acquainted with a court official in charge of craftsman's craft, and I learned some tricks and played for fun. Speaking of craftsmanship, you are from Shuzhong, and your surname is Tang, you must have heard of Tangmen, right?"

Tang Susu remained silent: "There are many people surnamed Tang in Shu, which one do you say?"

Chen Xingwen: "The one that makes hidden weapons." ”

Tang Susu: "I've heard of it. Why, you know them too?"

Chen Xingwen: "That's a skilled craftsman." I heard that their secret weapon is silent and missed. No matter how high a person's martial arts are, in front of them, they don't dare to act rashly. When the strongman bandits saw their caravan of bodyguards, they fled even more in despair. If you are lucky enough to get to know them, you will definitely be useful in your life. ”

Tang Susu was happy in her heart, worried that Chen Xingwen couldn't help but laugh when she saw her, so she turned her head to the side. "The Tangmen secret weapon has a good reputation, but it's not as magical as you say, right?"

Chen Xingwen: "I don't know how it is spread in the rivers and lakes, but that's what the storyteller says." ”

Tang Susu laughed out loud: "You are also serious about storytelling." ”

Chen Xingwen paused for a moment, as if thinking of something, and asked, "It's such a coincidence today, why do you carry a copper pipe with you, and what is it used for?"

Tang Susu raised his head: "Guess." ”
