Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 292

Duanmu Liang is a tall and burly man, but his eyes are a little smaller.

After he came to the East Palace, he hurriedly saluted and said, "What is His Royal Highness calling the end of the future?"

Li Jiancheng glanced at him and said, "Duanmu Liang, how long have you been with the Crown Prince?"

Duanmu Liang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly replied: "Three years and two months and one day."

Li Jiancheng was a little confused when he said this, he didn't know how long it had been, but Duanmu Liang remembered it so clearly, it seemed that he was loyal to him.

Li Jiancheng felt that there was something to be said for this matter.

"How did the prince treat you?"

"His Royal Highness has nothing to say to the last general."

"Then if the Crown Prince asked you to do something, would you be willing to do it?"

Duanmu Liang's expression was slightly determined, obviously realizing that this was not an easy thing to do, but after a while, he immediately knelt down and said, "The final general is willing to do his best for His Royal Highness."

Li Jiancheng quickly helped him up and said: "General Duanmu is indeed loyal to the crown prince. Well, the crown prince will tell you one thing. Now that the grain and grass to be sent to Qingzhou has been prepared, the emperor will choose the grain soon." Officer, the crown prince wants you to take responsibility."

"Of course there is no problem with this." Duanmu Liang immediately agreed. He didn't think there was any difficulty in this, as it was just to escort food and grass.

"The crown prince hasn't finished talking yet. Escorting grain and grass is escorting grain and grass, but you can't arrive at Gyeongju on time. I want you to delay seven or eight days on the way."

"This..." Duanmu Liang raised his head slightly, but immediately responded: "The last general takes orders."

He is not an idiot, how can he not know what Li Jiancheng means, Li Shimin is leading an army of tens of thousands to fight, if there is a shortage of food and grass for a day, they are afraid that they will lose their composure.

Either attack the city desperately, or retreat.

Desperately attacking the city, causing heavy casualties, and not necessarily being able to capture it, this is a serious crime.

Retreat, that is a deserter, Li Shimin does not want his own future.

Therefore, as long as the food cannot arrive on time, Li Shimin has no better choice.

Seeing Duanmu Liang's response, Li Jiancheng nodded: "Don't worry, this prince will protect you, at most you will be punished, and you will never be killed. After this prince ascends the throne, he will definitely give you the title of marquis. "

Hearing the word Fenghou, Duanmuliang's eyes lit up immediately, Fenghou, this condition is too tempting.

"Don't worry, His Royal Highness, the last general will definitely fulfill His Royal Highness's entrustment even if he desperately refuses."

After the two of them finished speaking, Duan Muliang retreated, and Li Jiancheng began to arrange how to make Duan Muliang the food security officer. He couldn't mention this matter, otherwise his father would suspect it. At that time, brothers killing each other would make his father If the emperor is desperate, then he can't please himself.

Therefore, this matter can be brought up by others, and they think Pei Ji is the most suitable.

Nine princess mansion.

Qin Tian came to the Ninth Princess Mansion again.

"Before, I would like to thank Your Highness the Princess for being willing to offer advice. Qin Tian would like to thank Your Highness the Princess here."

After meeting, Qin Tian thanked Princess Nine, who curled her lips: "Don't talk about such nonsense, just tell me, what's the matter with my Princess Mansion again?"

Qin Tian smiled awkwardly: "The Ninth Princess is smart."

"I need you to kiss me?"

Qin Tian's cheeks were slightly purple, and he suddenly felt that the ninth princess seemed to be a lot stranger to him, why did she seem to want to express her anger when she said anything?
But now he can't control these things, and said: "Your Highness, I would like to trouble you to go to the palace and let me be in charge of the food escort."

The Ninth Princess was originally angry with Qin Tian, ​​but when she heard that Qin Tian was going to be a grain escort, she was surprised, but she soon understood.

The food has been raised enough, but whether it can be transported to Li Shimin is still a problem.

She knew that Qin Tian was worried that he would not be able to transport him, so he decided to take over this matter.

"This princess will not go."

Hearing this, Qin Tian panicked a little, and said: "His Royal Highness, help me. I am really urgent. I have to leave tomorrow. If I let other people escort me, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach Qingzhou on time."

"What are you in a hurry for? This princess said I won't go, but I didn't say I won't help you. I'll let Princess Danyang help you."

Hearing this, Qin Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, he was also a little surprised, why didn't Princess Jiu go and let Princess Danyang go, but as long as Princess Jiu said this, he didn't have to worry.

With the abilities of the two princesses, they still can't handle this?

Qin Tian thanked him again and again, and then withdrew.

After Qin Tian left, the Ninth Princess suddenly became angry with herself.

"Why do you help him again, why do you help him again, and say you won't help..." The ninth princess was a little angry with herself, why couldn't she be ruthless?

But after blaming himself for a few words like this, they still told Ah Fei: "Go and invite Princess Danyang over here."

Ah Fei hurriedly retreated, and after about a stick of incense, invited Princess Danyang.

"Sister, what did you call me for?"

"I need my sister to help me with something."

"whats the matter?"

"Qin Tian wants to be a food security officer, please go to the palace and ask your father."

"Sister can just say something about such a small matter. Why do you let me do it?"

Princess Danyang finds it strange, but she really doesn't want to help Qin Tian. Last time she hinted that Qin Tian would chase after his ninth sister, but Qin Tian wrote what he wanted to say when he was not married. hurt.

The two of them were in the palace that night, and they both agreed to ignore Qin Tian in the future, but now her ninth sister made an exception.

"Sister, I can go, of course, but there is no good excuse, and, you know the relationship between my sister and King Qin, I don't want to help him, not even indirectly."

When Li Shimin ruined her happiness, she was naturally unwilling to help Li Shimin, or he didn't want Li Shimin to know that she helped him, because it would make Li Shimin feel inferior.

She has to have a backbone.

After Princess Danyang heard this, she curled her lips: "I don't even know what is so good about Qin Tian, ​​you help him again and again, but I can tell you, this is the last time I help him, there will be no next time. "

"Hwarang, don't talk nonsense, you go quickly, by the way, do you know how to say?" Ninth Princess asked worriedly, and Princess Danyang waved her hand: "It's rare for such a trivial matter to upset me, Princess Danyang." Well, if I go, I will definitely be able to catch it."

Princess Jiu smiled slightly, her younger sister is no worse than herself in terms of resourcefulness, this matter really can't help her.

Thinking of this, Princess Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at this time, she couldn't help telling herself: "This is the last time to help Qin Tian, ​​yes, it is the last time, and there will never be a next time..."
