After the prince of Pei Dilan entered the city, he returned to his own residence in the general's mansion and was depressed. He doesn't feel very good, and he can't say why, in short, he just doesn't like Li You.

It is no wonder that the Great Food Empire is like a rainbow, conquering dozens of countries in just 10 years, and the Persian Empire and the Byzantine Empire, the three strongest powers in the world, were defeated by the Great Food Empire and lost a large area of land, and the strength of the Great Food Empire has risen to a position second only to the Tang Dynasty.

Such a brilliant achievement doubles the pride of the big cannibals.

As the son of the ruler of the Great Food Empire, over the years, Pei Dilan has seen countless kings and princes submit to his feet, and those once invincible rulers tremble, tremble, and grovel one by one, at his mercy.

In this state of mind, it is understandable that Pei Dilan is empty-eyed.

He was not familiar with the Tang Dynasty, a great power in the East, and in his mind, the Tang Dynasty, like Persia and Byzantium, was also not taken seriously by him.

However, today's events were beyond his expectations, the strong temperament shown by the Tang Dynasty army, and the noble bearing exuded by the prince of the Tang Dynasty all made him feel an indescribable nest fire.

Peidilan entered the room, huffing back and forth.

The two middle-aged strategists who followed him to the city of Gegmu, one was named Smedis, an Iranian, who was obese and had a difficult name to remember, let's call Mr. Fat, and the other was Kaylasmis, a Syrian, who was emaciated, so let's call Mr. Thin.

Mr. Fat is proficient in astronomical calendar, divination and fortune-telling, and can speak 6 languages, and Mr. Shou is proficient in doctrine, literature and arithmetic, and is a well-known local wise man.

In order to train Pei Dilan, Omar specially selected them to be Pei Dilan's teachers.

Mr. Fat is not only highly educated, but also has rich social experience, good at observing words and feelings, he has been by Pei Dilan's side for several years, and he has a clear understanding of the temperament and temperament of His Royal Highness.

He had already understood the mind of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he said: "Those who do not learn and do not know how to do it are like a wasteland where no grass grows; A person who lacks resilience is like a lamp that has not been refueled. "The Great Cannibal also likes to speak proverbs.

He continued: "The prince of the Tang Dynasty looks very arrogant because he has never seen the world, just like a frog at the bottom of a well, who does not know that there is a sky outside the sky. The minister suggested that he should be frustrated in learning, and let him know that the culture of my Great Food Empire is profound. ”

After Mr. Fat finished speaking, he glanced at Mr. Thin.

Mr. Thin is also a human spirit, and he will also be called the vein of His Royal Highness the Prince. He understood what Mr. Fat meant, and said, "Mr. Fat has a point. It is better to decorate yourself with gorgeous costumes than to arm yourself with knowledge. The people of the Tang Dynasty look gorgeously dressed, but they have nothing to show for themselves, and there may not be splendid articles in their chests, and the ministers are willing to use the wisdom of our cannibals to teach them. ”

The Khorasan cavalry commander Ario was tall and large, and he looked very rough, but he was thick and thin. If you don't have the ability to observe words and colors, it is impossible to be the commander of His Royal Highness the Prince's army.

He was also angry about today's arrangement at the city gate, which failed to deter the Tang Dynasty. He said: "Your Royal Highness, when the two gentlemen have finished teaching the Tang Dynasty people, the minister will select the elite of the Khorasan cavalry, challenge the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, and destroy their prestige." ”

As soon as the three of them said this, Pei Dilan's mood suddenly improved a lot. He nodded, agreeing with them.

From now on, he was looking forward to meeting the prince of the Tang Dynasty for a while.

Coincidentally, Li You's thoughts coincided with theirs.

What Li You had to do was to show the strength of the Tang Dynasty, so that the big cannibals felt jealous, and they couldn't make up their minds to march into Kabul for a while.

At half past four in the afternoon, Aqimu and Uma'er came over, and they accompanied Li You and others to the General's Mansion.

It is very close to the General's Mansion, and Li You only took Baihu, Qualcomm, Tongyi and Wang Liao to the General's Mansion on foot.

Adnan and the others greeted Li You and the others at the door of the banquet hall.

Li You secretly observed, looking for Pei Dilan's figure, and soon, a young and handsome officer with an extraordinary bearing standing behind Adnan caught his attention, and he guessed that this person should be Pei Dilan.

Last time, Pei Dilan pretended to be a guard, and the position he stood was not obvious, Li You didn't notice it, and several others had already been introduced last time, and Li You knew them.

He looked at the young and handsome officer and asked, "Your Excellency the Governor, may I ask who this general is?" ”

Adnan said: "He is our marching clerk (the official name of the Great Food Country is too difficult to remember, the following is the corresponding official name of the Tang Dynasty), Cyrus. "Cyrus is the surname of the great food nobility.

Cyrus saluted and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Qi." "Cyrus is pretending to be Pei Dilan, at this moment, in order not to reveal his identity, he saluted Li You as an ordinary officer, but he didn't feel good in his heart.

Li You politely returned the salute and said, "General Cyrus is good." ”

Subsequently, Adnan and the others accompanied Li You and the others into the banquet hall.

The houses of Tura have a unique style, with square roofs with round spires raised in the middle. The banquet hall looks like a dome from the inside of the room, and there are murals on the roof and walls, and the content of the murals is mainly figures, and the form of the characters is not single, as if telling an ancient story.

There are no columns in the hall, and there are protruding stiffeners around the walls, on which squares of various sizes are drawn, arranged in regular patterns.

The floor was covered with a rich Persian carpet, and at the top of the arched gate, there was a platform more than a foot high protruding from the ground, and two long tables were placed, which were the positions of the host and the host and guest, and below were placed two rows of cases, which were the positions of the escorts.

Li You and Adnan sat down on the main seat, and the first person to sit below Adnan was the young marching clerk, and the generals who were higher than him sat in the back.

Such a seating order is reasonable if it is based on the level of the title, but Li You knows in his heart that he must be Pei Dilan.

The banquet began.

Adnan first made a few opening remarks on behalf of the Great Cannibal and said, "Now, please invite His Royal Highness King Qi of the Tang Dynasty to speak. ”

Li You pretended not to know that Pei Dilan was present, and said in the language of the Great Food in the dialect of Adnan and the others' hometown: "Respected General Adnan, respected generals, gentlemen.

Words from the bottom of your heart can touch the heartstrings of others. ”

In order to shorten the distance with the big cannibals, Li You also began with a proverb according to their language habits.

He said: "Although the history of the Great Food Empire is short, it has a group of witty, brave, heroic and fearless generals like everyone here, and the Great Food Empire has achieved brilliant achievements because of this.

Here, on behalf of the officers and men of the Tang Army, who are also brave and good at fighting, allow me to express my sincere respect to General Adnan and all the generals present. ”

After saying that, he bowed his hand to the crowd to show etiquette.

Li You's words won the favor of Adnan and other generals. However, it caused the dissatisfaction of Pei Dilan and the two gentlemen.
