Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 628 Take off, Datang
Liu Bing was sent by Gao Ming to America to search for corn and potatoes. According to Gao Ming's idea, if all goes well, he will be back in two years.

But in the end Liu Bing went there for four years.

There are too many accidents on the sea, even modern ships will have accidents, not to mention the half-baked steamer that Liu Bing drove out. Originally, Gao Ming didn't hold out any hope. I didn't expect him to appear in front of me in such a way now. .

Seeing Liu Bing's dark complexion and chapped lips in front of him, he obviously suffered a lot. Gao Ming was about to speak to comfort him, but unexpectedly he knelt down first with a "plop".

"His Royal Highness, the old servant is guilty!"

"Uh...you are..."

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming was stunned for a moment, and then quickly stepped forward to help him.

"Okay, old Liu, you get up first, it doesn't matter if you can't find corn and potatoes, I don't blame you, as long as you come back alive!"

"No...His Royal Highness, I found both corn and potatoes, it's Your Majesty..."

Speaking of this, Liu Bing hesitated for a moment, and then knocked his head to the ground with a "boom".

"It's Your Majesty who wants to fight Byzantium!"

Gao Ming: "(⊙o⊙)..."

What is the situation?
Isn't Byzantium the new Rome?There is an Arab empire separated from Datang, why did Lao Li beat him?

Thinking of this, Gao Ming took another look at Liu Bing, who was kneeling on the ground, and seemed to understand something.

"That...Old Liu, could it be that the old man's plan to attack Byzantium has something to do with you?"

"Ok!"

At this time, Liu Bing's eyes were red, and the tears flowed down.

"Following the instructions of His Royal Highness, the old slave got the corn and potatoes very smoothly, but when he came back in the twelfth lunar month of the previous year, he was intercepted by a sailboat from Byzantium."

"Sh... What the hell are the Romans, they seized my boat? What about my corn and potatoes?"

Hearing Liu Bing's words, Gao Ming gasped and his eyes widened.

"Damn, it's really deceiving people too much. Fight, you must fight, you must fight. I will go to issue a conscription order right away. If I can't do it, I can't deal with them. See if I can give them..."

As he said that, Gao Ming turned around and walked out. Seeing this scene, Liu Bing didn't bother to kneel, and quickly stepped forward and hugged his leg.

"No...His Royal Highness, please tell me!"

"Do not listen!"

Gao Ming's attitude was very firm, and his face was full of anger.

"Potatoes and corn are related to my Tang Dynasty's foundation for hundreds of years. The Romans have cut off my flesh. They simply don't take me seriously, and don't take Datang seriously. I want to unite with Dashi Destroy them!"

In this era, there are only three most powerful empires, one is the Tang Dynasty in the East, the other is the Arab Empire, which is also known as the Great Food in Gao Ming's mouth, and the other is Byzantium, also known as "New Rome" and "King Shi". Fort Tandin".

If it was the Tang Dynasty ten years ago, it would be quite difficult to conquer Byzantium in the west, but the current Tang Dynasty is no longer the Tang Dynasty it used to be.

Today's Tang Dynasty is powerful, with strong soldiers and strong horses. Since Gao Ming can destroy the 36 countries in the Western Regions in one year and make the Great Food Kingdom frightened, he can naturally destroy Byzantium, but it will take a little longer.

"Three years!"

Gao Ming stretched out three fingers towards Liu Bing, a sneer flashed across his face.

"I can destroy Byzantium in at most three years. I am sure of this, but I am not sure that I will send another person to retrieve potatoes and corn seeds in three years. If this is the case, why not beat him?"

"But..." Seeing Gao Ming's murderous look, Liu Bing became even more anxious, "But I've already brought back the corn and potatoes!"

"I can't bring it back, I have to call... er... brought it back?" Gao Ming suddenly realized, and then looked at Liu Bing in disbelief.

"Bring them back, you said? Potatoes and corn?"

"Yes!"

Seeing Gao Ming's tone changed, Liu Bing nodded quickly.

"Although the Byzantines wanted to stop us, their sailboats couldn't catch up with His Royal Highness's steamboat at all. It was only because of their pursuit that three of our ships hit the rocks and sank, and one was stranded. The old slave's ship was lucky. escaped, and went to Lingnan."

"Uh...have you arrived in Lingnan?" Hearing Liu Bing's words, Gao Ming blinked immediately, "Since you've arrived in Lingnan, why don't you come back?"

"Hey, I lost His Royal Highness's boat, how can this old servant have the face to come back!"

Liu Bing shook his head while speaking.

"Originally, the old slave and those craftsmen and soldiers have already decided to live incognito in Lingnan, so His Royal Highness will treat us as dead, and maybe we can still have a good reputation. I didn't expect..."

"Wait, I seem to understand!"

Hearing this, Gao Ming seemed to understand, and immediately interrupted Liu Bing, and then looked at him with a half-smile.

"You plan to hide your names, so you reclaimed land in Lingnan and planted the corn and potatoes on the boat, but you didn't expect a bumper harvest. That's why you came back, right?"

"Uh..." As soon as Gao Ming said this, Liu Bing was stunned, "How did you know, Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

Seeing him like this, Gao Ming knew that he had guessed right, and he immediately showed a face of dumbfounding.

"Hey, I said Lao Liu, Lao Liu, I don't know what to say about you, okay, let's not talk, let's go, take me to see the corn and potatoes first!"

"That... Your Majesty and the others..."

"do not worry!"

Gao Ming waved his hand while speaking.

"Fighting a war is not a trivial matter. I must say it in the court tomorrow. It will not be too late to pay attention to it at that time. Let's go and see the potatoes first. By the way, did you bring back many potatoes?"

"Uh...the potatoes are harvested twice a year, and the yield is extremely high. I brought back fifty tans this time, and I brought back fifty tans of corn, making a total of [-] tans. There are several hundred tans in Lingnan!"

"Hahaha, that's great!"

Hearing Liu Bing's words, Gao Ming laughed out loud, and patted Liu Bing's shoulder while laughing.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go and get some potatoes. I've always wanted to eat beef stew with potatoes. By the way, I'll let you try it. It's a treat for you. Don't worry, the cow fell to death, just eat it! "

"Uh...Your Highness, stop teasing this old slave!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Liu Bing immediately showed a wry smile.

"In the past, Your Majesty often said that more than a dozen cows would fall to death in your East Palace every year, and I don't know how they fell. This time, the old slave fell to death as soon as he came back. The old slave has become a broom star. "

"Broomstar? Hahahaha!"

Hearing Liu Bing's words, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing again, and patted him on the shoulder vigorously while laughing.

"You old Liu, I haven't seen you for a few years and you can even tell jokes. Don't worry, what you brought back is worth a thousand... no, it's worth [-] cows. I will give you credit tomorrow morning, Earl Marquis I dare not say, the Viscount is fine, and he is also the son of Jianguo County, all right!"

"Huh? County son?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Liu Bing's eyes widened immediately, his face was also dull, and he didn't recover for a long time.
