Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who comforted his younger brother "Don't panic", hurriedly left the palace the next day and found the person who could break the situation after thinking hard all night.

Niu Xiu, Niu Jinda.

Why does it have to be this person?

It's simple. First, Li Kuan is absolutely sure that he can convince him.

The second is a coincidence: it was Li Er who executed Shan Xiongxin, but it was Niu Jinda who was responsible for the execution.

Therefore, General Niu Jinda Niu, who was sleeping, was reported by the housekeeper at the martial arts training ground early in the morning: His Royal Highness the King of Chu came to visit.

"Why did the King of Chu come to my house?" Niu Jinda, who had almost lost all his family wealth due to the locust plague recently, but could still only prepare a few thousand stones of food for disaster relief, was in a bad mood.

So after hearing that Li Kuan came to visit, Niu Jinda couldn't help but frown. To be honest, he was not mentally prepared for Li Kuan's arrival. But for some reason, although His Highness the King of Chu's reputation now belongs to the one with no room for decline. However, as long as Niu Jinda remembered the boy's determination when he told him that he would find a way to resolve the locust plague, Niu Jinda would not be able to make any bad assumptions about the other party.

Therefore, without much hesitation, Niu Jinda came to the front hall, intending to meet His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who had been in the limelight recently.

But who would have thought that before he could even sit down, the turbulent King Chu directly came up and grabbed his arm: "Uncle Niu, come with me, don't ask, you will know everything when you get there. "

It may be the phrase "Uncle Niu" that Li Kuan is familiar with, or it may be the memory of the brief encounter between the two. Niu Jinda, who has always been cautious by nature, did not refuse Li Kuan's request. Moreover, when he saw the person responsible for driving What was surprising was that after Jiang left and the two briefly exchanged glances, Niu Jinda no longer had any doubts and patiently followed Li Kuan by car to Yushan Villa.

"Uncle Niu, let's go." After arriving at the place, Li Kuan said hello. Then, the door was slowly opened by a group of men in black. Niu Jinda just glanced at these men in black suspiciously, and then said He followed Li Kuan without saying anything and arrived at a certain warehouse.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, what do you want to show me?" Niu Jinda was a little curious at this moment, what kind of battle was it that made His Highness the King of Chu act so mysteriously.

"Uncle Niu, please look!" Li Kuan pushed open the warehouse door in front of Niu Jinda.

Then, Niu Jinda's eyes suddenly widened.

Mountains of food suddenly appeared in front of him.

"This is only a small part," Li Kuan said to the shocked Niu Jinda with some satisfaction: "Uncle Niu, do you still remember what I said to you in the palace? Did Uncle Niu believe it? "

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu..." Niu Jinda recovered from the shock after hearing this, and looked at Li Kuan with eyes full of horror: "How on earth did you do it."

"It's a long story..." At that moment, Li Kuan told the whole story again, except that the colored glaze he refined was summarized by him as "the property given to me by the imperial grandmother."

"So... Your Highness, do you want me to act in a play with you?" After hearing that Li Kuan planned to use his identity as "Shan Ling" to forcefully buy a batch of grain from Qiwang of the fifth surname, Niu Jinda asked Guessed Li Kuan’s intention.

"That's what I mean," Li Kuan smiled and nodded: "Uncle Niu, you also know that this locust plague has affected too many people. The eight hundred thousand stones in my hand, plus the court's reserves, are not enough to provide disaster relief." Yes, so, we have to get some from the hands of these aristocratic families, so that the people can wait until next spring to sow. But even after sowing, the food in the ground will not grow in a day or two, don't say it. It takes summer and autumn to harvest, so for us, the more food, the better."

"Hahahaha..." Niu Jinda, who had been suffering from the famine of the people, suddenly burst out laughing. He looked at the somewhat confused Li Kuan and slowly said: "His Royal Highness, King Chu, to be honest, I have experienced too much in my life, so My reason tells me that when a prince holds a large amount of food and talks to me about cooperation with a military general, then the other party is not far away from rebelling."

"Uncle Niu! You..." Li Kuan became anxious when he heard this.

"——What's more," Niu Jinda, who didn't like to be interrupted when speaking, suddenly raised his voice: "His Royal Highness, your recent reputation is really not a good one..."

"..." Li Kuan looked at Niu Jinda with a serious expression, and at the moment he felt that he might have messed up this time.

So secretly, Li Kuan has been summoning shadow assassins in the yard next door. In any case, tomorrow in this villa, he will meet with Qiwang of the Five Surnames and Guan Longba, so Niu Jinda must not be allowed to leak the secret. , spoiled his big event.

"Your Highness, you don't have to look at me like this," Niu Jinda seemed to have understood Li Kuan's thoughts at this moment: "Presumably those men in black that I saw earlier were also loyal soldiers left to you by Empress Taimu, right? Sigh... a wealthy family. , It’s really generous..."

Li Kuan looked at Niu Jinda who was still thinking about teasing him. He was not in a good mood at the moment: "Uncle Niu, I'm afraid I'll offend you a lot later. I need to meet the heads of the Guanlong clan here tomorrow, so If you don’t believe what happened today and don’t want to keep it a secret, then I will have no choice but to use force..."

"Your Highness has misunderstood, I believe you." Unexpectedly, Niu Jinda's statement actually stated his trust in Li Kuan.

"No..." Li Kuan was suddenly stunned by Niu Jinda.

"Uncle Niu..." Li Kuan looked at Niu Jinda with some suspicion: "Are you planning to act according to the situation? I tell you, I am not that easy to deceive!"

"Haha..." Niu Jinda seemed to be amused by Li Kuan's words: "Your Highness King Chu, there is indeed a saying of 'fainting surrender' on the battlefield, but I feel that this trick is useless in front of you."

"..." Li Kuan felt that he had met a master of yin and yang today, because whether the other party's words were complimenting him or ridiculing him, Li Kuan thought for a long time, but he couldn't find an answer.

"Your Highness, King of Chu, don't look confused," Niu Jinda, who has always been serious about words, probably laughed more today than in the past few years combined: "You might as well talk about your plan first, don't worry, as long as I think it's feasible, , even if you plan to cut off my head, I will not say no!"
