Hearing Jun Lintian say this, Gu Zhencang's face couldn't help but become much uglier.

"Then I wonder if the young master of the Jun family has any way to help this city lord raise some food?"

"Now the several granaries in Hanyang City have basically been burned out. If there is no food supply in a short period of time, people will die."

When he said this, Gu Zhencang looked somewhat regretful.

He always cared about the people of the world. He opened the city gate and let the people into the city with the intention of saving them.

Of course, these refugees became a chain that bound him.

If these refugees had died in the mouths of monsters, Gu Zhencang probably wouldn't have been so disappointed.

But if these refugees were starved to death, he would really feel guilty.

Jun Lintian still shook his head: "I'm sorry, City Lord Gu, I can't help you."

"As you know, Hanyang City is located in the northernmost part of the Xuanwu Empire, and there are many territories of the Xuanwu Empire in between."

“Even if I ask the Jun family to send some food over, it will definitely pass through the Xuanwu Empire.”

"I'm afraid we'll have to go through a lot of inspections along the way, and it will take a long time for the food to be delivered."

Jun Lintian raised his lips slightly and advised: "Instead of asking the Jun family to send food over, it is better to ask the court of the Xuanwu Empire for it."

"Not to mention that Hanyang City itself is also a city of the Xuanwu Empire. The Emperor Wu should provide food to help these people."

When the word "Martial Emperor" was mentioned, Gu Zhencang's face became even uglier.

He had already written several memorials to Emperor Wu, but these memorials seemed to have fallen on deaf ears and did not cause any ripples.

The most important thing is that Emperor Wu didn’t even write a reply.

In the end, they only sent a useless prince and a few hundred guards.

But in reality, these people are of no use at all.

After all, those guards simply couldn't do anything to resist the tide of monsters.

"This... let this city lord think of another way." Gu Zhencang sighed, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.

No matter how high his cultivation level is, it is easy to kill people but difficult to save them.

If so many people have to rely on him to save them, I wonder how many of them can be saved?

Jun Lintian looked at Gu Zhencang with a lost look on his face.

After hesitating for a moment, he had an idea in his mind.

"Lord Gu, how about this? I will go back and see if there is still some food in my mansion."

"I will leave some for the servants to eat, and I will send the rest to you."

"Ah... this damn monster has given us another problem."

Jun Lintian shook his head, although his face showed a look of deep sorrow.

But in fact, my heart was already filled with joy.

Because he noticed that Gu Zhencang's expression had obviously changed slightly at this moment, and there seemed to be a lot of gratitude in that look.

"Thank you so much!"

Gu Zhencang's voice was a little excited. "Although the young master of the Jun family is from the Great Zhou Dynasty and does not belong to the Xuanwu Empire, the invasion of monsters is a common danger for the human race."

"Young Master, you have such insight. I wonder how many princes and nobles of the Xuanwu Empire will be ashamed of it."

What he said actually had a hidden meaning.

After all, he also knew that sending people to collect grain from those aristocratic families was indeed ruthless and inappropriate.

But now even Jun Lintian, the young master who always behaved recklessly, was willing to provide food on his own initiative. There was no reason for those aristocratic families not to provide food, right?
Not to mention that there are so many refugees in Hanyang City. Once these refugees gather together to cause trouble, even the aristocratic families will have to think twice.

Especially now that there are more people, the entire Hanyang City is a mixed bag, and it is inevitable that there will be many people who take advantage of the situation to rob.

It would be better to take the initiative to hand over some food to ensure safety.

Jun Lintian said with a smile: "Every man has his share of responsibility for the fate of his country. Although I am not a good person, I am willing to contribute to the fight against the monsters."

"Besides, Hanyang City is an important town in the north of the Xuanwu Empire. If Hanyang City is lost, those monsters will go south directly. I don't know how many people will die."

"The Jun family has now acquired three cities of the Xuanwu Empire. The principle of "the lips and the teeth are cold" is still clear to us."

After listening to what Jun Lintian said, Gu Zhencang couldn't help but admire him.

OK!

This is a truly capable young person!
Even though Jun Lin Tian Ping has a bad reputation, in fact, when the time of crisis comes, people are still willing to help.

On the other hand, look at those high-ranking officials in the government, even the Thirteenth Prince of the Xuanwu Empire who is in Hanyang City.

Ha ha……

When Gu Zhencang thought of this, he shook his head.

The Xuanwu Empire really disappointed him. If the Emperor Wu would neither send troops nor provide food, then there would be no need for him to obey the Emperor Wu anymore.

"Young Master Jun, I am grateful for your kindness."

Gu Zhencang had other things to deal with now, so he just bowed to Jun Lintian respectfully.

"I will leave first. The monsters outside the city seem to be getting more aggressive. I don't know if it's because of the burning granary."

Jun Lintian frowned and said in a serious tone, "If that's the case, then City Lord Gu should go quickly."

"I will have someone deliver the food to the City Lord's Mansion in a moment."

Gu Zhencang left quickly. Jun Lintian looked at his departing back, and a sinister smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He didn't waste any more time and headed straight towards the Jun family residence.

Along the way, no one knew who leaked the news, but the fact that the granary was set on fire by monsters still reached the ears of some refugees.

On many streets, where refugees gathered, they were already causing commotion and shouting that they were starving to death.

Jun Lintian chuckled and said, "Go ahead and make some noise. The bigger the better."

He wanted to see how Xuan Jing was going to solve this matter.

Or does the other party want to deal with these troublemakers?

Jun Lintian's lips curled up with a wicked smile, he was somewhat looking forward to it.

After returning to the Jun family mansion, Jun Lintian called Yingnv and immediately instructed: "We should still have a lot of food on hand."

"Leave enough food for us to get back to Wuyang City without buying any food along the way. Have the guards deliver the rest to the City Lord's Mansion."

Yingnu didn't know what was happening outside, and she couldn't help but look surprised when she heard this.

"Young Master, why is this?"

"The granary of the City Lord's Mansion was burned down. Now there is only about 10% or 20% of all the food left. It is a time of food shortage. Let's help them solve their urgent needs."

Jun Lintian took the teacup handed over by Yingnu, took a sip, and said with a smile.

However, Yingnu was really stunned at this moment.

"Young Master, are you serious?"

She had never thought that her young master, who had always been evil, would suddenly become kind-hearted. (End of this chapter)
