"Brother soldier, do you have any guests in these restaurants?"

"Of course, most of the restaurants have closed when the snow is coming, but this golden building is still open as usual. Jinlou is the most powerful restaurant in Xiuxun City and even Beiting Prefecture, and it is difficult for other restaurants to even eat and drink by themselves in this snowstorm, but Jinlou, as long as you can afford to pay, you can eat whatever you want, and it is no different from usual. As for the guests, in recent days, there have been a number of warriors entering Xiuxun City, and they all live in this golden building."

"Brother soldier, how many warriors have come in to support such a big restaurant" Han Tongwen put a piece of silver into the soldier's hand, and the soldier's face was full of wrinkles with a smile.

"At first glance, you are from a big place, and I won't hide it from you, that is, you are arrogant, and I don't mention a word about others" If you want to ask about these situations, the guards guarding the city gate absolutely know it clearly.

"There are really a lot of martial artists before and after, most of them are some martial arts families, such as the famous Wu family, the third master of the Wu family, Wu Tingfeng, and the Yangshan thieves have also come to the leader, this is not the most powerful" The soldier said with his eyebrows flying

"You know the son of the Divine Needle Ji family!"

"Of course, how could the four great martial arts families of the Tang Dynasty not know?"

"Just today, Ji Wufeng, the head of the Ji family, known as the eight-handed, brought more than a dozen disciples of the Ji family to Xiuxun City in person."

"He's here in person?" Han Tongwen was surprised, he had only met this Great Martial Sect at Qingya Academy a few days ago!

"Well, there is also the Martial Hall Elder, the predecessor of the Broken Sword Book!"

"Broken Sword Book?" Han Tongwen hesitated for a moment and finally remembered the name, the master that Mei Shijue introduced to him, maybe the strongest in Xiu Xuncheng now is not only these two Great Martial Sects, but also the mysterious old man!

"In addition, some other small martial arts forces have gathered in this golden building, and the current Xiuxun City can be regarded as a mixture of fish and dragons, and the son should be careful when he goes out at night, there have been several murders, because he is not a local, and the official government yamen is too lazy to care, "The soldiers are also conscientious when they take people's money."

The pedestrians I met on the street were all armed with knives, and they were all not weak warriors, at least they had the cultivation of martial artists. After walking for a long time, he finally arrived at the Thorn History Mansion, and along the way, Han Tongwen kept thinking about what could make so many martial artists come to the most snow-affected place. Before I knew it, I had entered the Thorn History Mansion, and my mind was still a mess, so I couldn't think of it later.

"You are the son from Qingya Academy, the master is waiting for you in the main hall," an old servant said with a smile hunched over

"I'm tired of leading the way in front of your head"

"You're welcome, Childe"

The Thorn Mansion was cleaned very cleanly, and when he entered the lobby, there was a three-foot middle-aged man with beautiful hair, holding a book in his hand, and a cup of tea and Han Tongwen's letter were placed on the table next to him. This person is Xu Tan, the assassin of Beiting, and the elder brother of the head of the Xu family. Seeing Han Tongwen come in, Xu Tan got up with a happy smile on his face.

"You're Han Tongwen, come on, cup tea"

"Qingya Academy student Han Tongwen has seen Lord Thorn Shi!" Han Tongwen bowed

"You're welcome, sit down" Xu Tan was very enthusiastic

"How are the gentlemen from the academy in good health, and how are the mountain elders?" asked Xu Tan

"Gentlemen are still in good health, so I will go to the Duxiang Pavilion to drink and write poems on the day of rest, so unhappy," Han Tongwen said with a smile

"Alas, several gentlemen are all the world's great Confucians, and they are really envious of their love for landscape poetry and leisurely," Xu Tan said with some envy

"Several gentlemen are all fairy-like people, vulgar things don't touch, unlike me, there are some literati temperament when I was studying, and I have become a complete layman after so many years" Xu Tan laughed

"Lord Thorn Shi is too modest, Lord Thorn Shi is a saint and shepherd all the people, and it is also indispensable to benefit one party" Han Tongwen patted a little fart

"As soon as I saw my junior brother, I remembered that when I was studying, thanks to the support of my teacher, I walked into the officialdom all the way" Xu Tan sighed, "Mr. Wu treats me like a mountain, thinking that I am entangled in mundane things, I have not personally visited my teacher for six years, but I just sent someone to send gifts on the third day and two birthdays, which is really ashamed."

Xu Tan got up and bowed twice in the direction of Qingya Academy in the direction of the south, and Han Tongwen could only get up and bow when he saw this.

"Mr. Wu is very happy every time he mentions you"

"Really?" Xu Tan said happily

"How dare you deceive Master Thorn Shi, the jade you sent, Mr. Wu has been playing with it to this day" Han Tongwen seemed to have heard Mr. Wu say that the jade pendant he threw on the windowsill was almost covered with dust.

Xu Tan had a smile on his face, "Don't stab Master Shi, those who stab Master Shi are all brothers in the same sect, you can call me Senior Brother Xu."

"Then take the liberty of Senior Brother Xu"

"Senior Brother Han brought Mr. Wu's letter to the North Garden, but what is the important matter?" asked Xu Tan

"Don't hide it from Senior Brother Xu, I'm here to ask for your help."

"If you have something to say, as long as I can help, for Mr. Wu's sake, I will do my best"

"Senior Brother Xu, my family was originally in Xizhou, and the same snow disaster fell in Xizhou five years ago, and my parents all died in that heavy snow, and I also survived with great difficulty. I was shocked to hear that Beiting was in danger, so I borrowed 100,000 yuan of supplies to support the refugees in Beiting Prefecture!"

"100,000 materials?" Xu Tan was also surprised that Han Tong was so bold and bold, so much more than wealth, he actually said that he would donate it.

"Senior Brother Han's move really makes Senior Brother admire, I thank you on behalf of the millions of refugees in Beiting" Xu Tan got up and bowed, and Han Tongwen hurriedly avoided it

"Senior Brother Xu is polite, don't dare to be Tongwen"

"Dare to ask where the material is now"

"Youzhou City"

"Youzhou, why not in Tongzhou," Xu Tan said strangely, "If you support it, Tongzhou is more convenient than Youzhou."

Han Tongwen reported what he had seen and heard in Youzhou, and Xu Tan simply slapped the table angrily and roared

"What is he Zhu Fangping going to do, my Beiting Prefecture and Tongzhou are facing each other, and now Beiting is suffering, he actually closes the city gate and ignores my Beiting refugees? They still freeze to death and starve to death under the city gate? Is he trying to force the people of Beiting to rebel against me? When the snow disaster passes, I will definitely go to the book and let Zhu Fangping go around without eating, fortunately there is a righteous person like General Yanqiu. ”

"It's a pity that I'm helpless now, and I can't give orders within a radius of ten miles, if Senior Brother Han has something I can help, but it doesn't matter," Xu Tan sighed

"I want Senior Brother Xu to help me spread the news that the imperial court's aid has arrived in Youzhou, and organize soldiers to transport grain!"

"Although it is a little difficult to convey the news to the entire North Garden, it is still possible to spend some manpower, and it is really difficult to organize a heavy snow road closure!" Xu Tan said a fact

"If the supplies are transported into the North Garden, this is a great achievement, Senior Brother Xu, and if Senior Brother is willing, I will also have a way to help you transport food."

This sentence has touched Xu Tan's heart, saving tens of thousands of refugees

"What are the sides of Senior Brother Han!"

"Kong Ming lantern!"

"Kong Ming Deng?" Xu Tan was a little puzzled, Kong Ming Lantern knew that it had been recorded in the history books.

It is said that the Kong Ming lantern, also known as the sky lantern, is said to have been invented by Zhuge Kong Ming during the Three Kingdoms. Back then, Zhuge Kongming was besieged by Sima Yi in Pingyang and could not send troops out of the city for help. Zhuge Kongming calculated the direction of the wind, made a floating paper lantern, tied a message for help, and escaped the consequences of the danger, so later generations called this kind of lantern Kong Ming lantern. There is also another theory that the shape of this lantern resembles the hat worn by Zhuge Kongming, hence the name.

"What is the use of this Kong Ming lantern?"

"Before I came, I discussed with a few gentlemen in the academy how to transport grain, and I found the Kong Ming lantern after looking through the history books, and I boldly guessed whether it was possible to enlarge the Kong Ming lantern, and then improve the Kong Ming lantern that was originally used to transmit signals into a tool for transporting grain, and the result was really successful!" Han Tongwen was of course making up a lie, but there was always a reason to prevaricate in the past.

"The drawings are in my head, I'll draw them tonight"

"Okay, okay, the disaster is urgent, Senior Brother Han, please hurry up"

"You have all the materials ready, rest overnight and I'll perfect the drawings and do it tomorrow"
