Chapter 629: An appetizer for a slap in the face

Li You's words praised the generals, and the generals were naturally happy, but Pei Dilan felt uncomfortable that he didn't mention the role of the royal family.

He was upset and frowned.

The fat gentleman sitting next to him kept paying attention to Pei Dilan's expression, and he said: "Your Royal Highness King Qi, I agree with your opinion, but the Great Food Empire can have such great achievements, mainly because of the wise commander of the great caliph Umar. ”

Mr. Fat's words won Pei Dilan's heart, and he smiled with satisfaction.

Li You also smiled and nodded, indicating that he agreed with Mr. Fat's opinion.

Seeing that Mr. Fat had won first, Mr. Thin immediately said, "Your Royal Highness King Qi, there is another question in your words that is not quite appropriate.

You said that my Great Food Empire has a short history, may I ask, your Great Tang Empire seems to have not been founded for a long time, right? ”

Li You nodded and agreed.

In this way, one of Li You's opening remarks was picked out by others for two faults, and Li You had nothing to say but to smile.

Pei Dilan, Mr. Fat and Mr. Thin are all proud.

Baihu, Gao Tong and the others were a little depressed, and said in their hearts: "The prince is so bullish, how can he be speechless by the big cannibal." ”

Adnan and other generals don't see it that way, they think that Mr. Fat and others are picking bones in eggs, and the prince of the Tang Dynasty didn't mean that at all.

Moreover, looking at the generosity shown by others in the face of unreasonable accusations, in comparison, the behavior of Pei Dilan and others embarrassed Adnan and other generals.

Although Aqimu regarded Li You and others as opponents, he still admired Li You's demeanor and temperament very much, and when he saw the situation in front of him, he also felt that his face was not good-looking.

He secretly instructed his men to hurry up and serve the food.

The cuisine of Turro is also famous: "Kuba", "Tubra", "Fita", "Yebraka"... Waiting, tearing a piece of flatbread with your hand and smearing it with various sauces, while eating these snacks, and drinking a drink (Taimur Sindi) and yogurt, it is very interesting.

Aqimu knew that Li You liked food, he didn't know how to eat, in order to receive Li You, he specially sent someone to invite all the famous chefs in Gegemu City to come over and hold this banquet.

The banquet began, and Li You tasted the food while tasting the food on the table, and then talked about the customs of Adnan's hometown, which made Adnan and others feel more cordial.

Adnan asked curiously, "Your Royal Highness King Qi, you are so familiar with the affairs of our hometown, have you ever been there?" ”

Adnan's hometown is in the area of present-day Qatar, and Li You really went there. However, there is a huge difference between ancient and modern customs.

Li You smiled: "That's not true, but Chang'an is the largest commercial center in the world, and there are businessmen from all over the world. One of my ladies was in business and had been in contact with businessmen everywhere, and she talked a lot about these things, so I knew a little bit about them. ”

Talking about Chang'an, Adnan's subordinates were very curious, and one of the lieutenants asked: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi, I have heard of Chang'an, please tell me about the situation in Chang'an." ”

Pei Dilan, Mr. Fat and Mr. Thin saw that Li You quietly led the topic to the promotion of the Tang Dynasty, and they were immediately unhappy again.

Mr. Fat asked, "Your Royal Highness King Qi, which city do you think is bigger than Damascus or Chang'an?" ”

Damascus is the capital of the Great Food Country, which is very prosperous and one of the cities that the Great Cannibals yearn for. Hearing this topic, including Adnan and the others, they also wanted to know the answer, and everyone stared at Li You to see what he had to say.

Li You: "My wife once said that Damascus is a big city, very prosperous, and a city to be proud of. ”

When everyone heard Li You say this, they were all very happy and proud.

Mr. Fat asked expectantly, "How is Chang'an?" His expression reminded Li You of a joke in later generations, and a Chinese person asked, if Shanghai works hard for another 20 years, can it catch up with the current Mumbai?

Li You said lightly: "Chang'an is not bad, the current population of the city is only 1.4 million. "After the expansion of Chang'an New Town, the population reached 1.42 million.

"What? 1.4 million? "The big cannibals were taken aback.

At this time, the population of Damascus was only 180,000, which was not even a fraction of Chang'an.

Pei Dilan, Mr. Fat and Mr. Thin looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

Unconvinced, Mr. Thin said, "A hundred sheep are not as good as a tiger, and a hundred gravel are not as good as a pearl." Damascus has a thousand-year-old civilization, which is not comparable to a large number of people. ”

Mr. Thin was a little anxious, and his words were a little unreasonable.

Every time the big cannibal speaks, the interpreter translates a sentence for Baihu and Qualcomm. Hearing Mr. Thin's unreasonable words, the two were very angry, but they didn't understand the language of Dashi and didn't know how to refute it.

Li You smiled faintly and said, "Muhammad is a great prophet, and he has a famous saying, which I admire very much. ”

Muhammad was a great man, with great prestige in the eyes of the great cannibals, and his words were convincing to all, and everyone wanted to hear what he had to say.

Mr. Skinny asked, "Which quote?" ”

"Even if wisdom is far away in China, people will find ways to find it." Li You said quietly.

"This, this?" Mr. Thin was speechless for a moment. This is indeed from Muhammad, who did not associate it with the events at hand.

Regarding the attacks of Pei Dilan, Mr. Fat and Mr. Thin and others, Li You remained silent and simply fought back.

Of course, these are just appetizers.

The real killer tricks of Pei Dilan, Mr. Fat and Mr. Thin have not yet been used.

Li You is a passive party, he can't take the initiative, because he is not here to quarrel, but to seek peace. He can only see the moves, and he has to leave room for it.

He deliberately made a move to inadvertently ignore Pei Dilan and others, hoping that Pei Dilan, Mr. Fat and Mr. Thin would continue to provoke.

Sure enough, Pei Dilan and others were unwilling and launched a new offensive.

Mr. Thin talked about literature, especially poetry. One by one, the big cannibals showed a look of admiration.

The poets of the Tang Dynasty had a high status, in addition to the artistic value of Tang poetry itself, because there were few forms of entertainment, and how many people now attach so much importance to poetry?

In the Arabian Peninsula and Central and Northwest Asia, they were relatively late in civilization and less literate than the Tang Dynasty. Most of the peoples, or different tribes within the same nation, were in a period of transition from nomadic tribal serfdom to feudalism.

Due to the low level of education, people have great respect for those who can compose poetry, and the status of a tribe will be greatly improved because it has a poet. It can be said that the status of the poet in the local area is more lofty than that of the poets of the Tang Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty.

Mr. Thin is a poet who is highly regarded.

Hearing this, Li You suddenly had a headache.
