Chapter 861: The Sheep and the Wolf
As soon as Zhang Bao'er's words fell, the hall, which was still a little noisy just now, suddenly became quiet. Not only did Curdibo and Suga glare at him angrily, but even Tich and Serge looked at him worriedly.
Zhang Baoer felt strange, turned her head to Amidan and asked, "Did I say something wrong?" ”
Amidan trembled, and couldn't speak: "Zhang Gongzi, the Great Food Sect abstains from drinking, singing and dancing, you say such things on such an occasion, in their opinion, this is disrespectful to the Great Food Sect and a provocation to the Great Food Country!" ”
Zhang Bao'er was shocked, it turned out that the Great Food Sect still had such a ban, and it seemed that his words really provoked the anger of the public.
Aliya's face turned pale, she hurriedly got up and said to Qu Dibo in a panic: "Father, he is from the distant Tang Dynasty and does not know much about our Great Food Sect, please don't punish him!" ”
Qu Dibo still glared at Zhang Bao'er with an angry face, and didn't seem to hear Alia's words.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Alia walked up to Zhang Bao'er and said, "Zhang Gongzi, you quickly admit your mistake to my father, and he won't blame you!" ”
Zhang Bao'er originally wanted to be tough to the end, but when she saw Alia's begging gaze, her heart softened, so she got up and said to Qu Dibo: "Your Excellency, I am from the Tang Dynasty, I am not familiar with the teachings of the Great Food Sect, and I have offended you a lot, and I sincerely apologize to you here!" ”
After listening to Zhang Bao'er's words, Qu Dibo's face softened slightly, and he was about to speak, but he heard Zhang Bao'er continue: "The Great Food Sect has the teachings of the Great Food Sect, and the Tang people also have the customs of the Tang Dynasty, I respect the teachings and customs of the Great Food Sect, and I hope that the Governor should also respect the customs of the Tang Dynasty." It's like the people here now, there are big cannibals, there are Sogdians, there are Tang people, since everyone is together, they should use their own rules, so that they can be happy, right? ”
After Zhang Bao'er's words were finished, the hall became even quieter.
Where is this apology, it is clearly an intensified provocation, if Zhang Baoer didn't know the reason just now, it is still excusable, but now, he clearly knows the reason, and he is still so wild, isn't this obviously looking for death?
Everyone stared at Zhang Bao'er again, there was anger, there was worry, only one person's eyes contained approval, Zhang Bao'er followed the gaze, it turned out to be Ju Qi, Zhang Bao'er nodded at him slightly.
Qu Dibo's face kept changing, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Zhang Bao'er didn't care about all kinds of eyes, and he continued: "I heard that the Sogdians of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu not only liked to sing and dance, but also were good at drinking. When I was in Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, I personally witnessed the Sogdian Hu Xuan Dance and tasted the Sogdian grape wine. Today, we congratulate Her Royal Highness on the birthday of the Princess, and the Great Cannibals can observe your teachings, while the Sogdians and the Tang Dynasty should drink and dance according to their own customs to congratulate them. It's like in the same grassland, there should be both wolves that eat meat and sheep that eat grass, this is normal! ”
Listening to Zhang Bao'er's words, Ju Qi's eyes flashed with brilliance, Tiqi and Seki nodded secretly, and even suddenly looked at Zhang Bao'er in a daze. And the big cannibals were all indignant, and they wanted to rush up and tear Zhang Baoer apart, but Qu Dibo, as the coach, didn't say a word, and they didn't dare to make a mistake.
Su Jia finally couldn't help it, he said viciously: "Damn the Tang people, you are the sheep that eats grass, and you are destined to become food in the wolf's mouth!" ”
Zhang Bao'er glanced at him and said disdainfully: "The fierce wolf may be able to eat all the sheep in the world, but there is no way to make the sheep eat meat without eating grass, no one can!" ”
Seeing Su Jia and Zhang Bao'er fighting each other, Alia was anxious, but she had no choice but to look at her father, she knew that her father's words would determine Zhang Bao'er's fate.
Qu Dibo finally spoke: "Come on, serve wine to Zhang Gongzi and Kang Guo!" ”
Qu Dibo's words not only made Zhang Baoer stunned, but even the Kang Guo people and the big cannibals did not react, could Qu Dibo be evil, how could he make such a decision. But looking at his calm expression, it seemed to be well thought out.
Alia finally breathed a sigh of relief, she felt that her father had made such a decision for the sake of her own face. Alia threw a grateful glance at Qudibo and silently returned to her desk to sit down.
Zhang Bao'er was stunned for a moment and then came back to his senses, and he made a Central Plains salute with a fist at Qu Dibo: "Thank you, Lord Governor!" ”
After that, Zhang Baoer also sat down and stopped talking.
Zhang Bao'er was very depressed in his heart, he realized again that Qu Dibo was a difficult and terrible opponent, not only surprisingly calm in the face of trouble, but also did not play cards according to common sense, no wonder he could gallop in the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms and be invincible.
Looking at Zhang Bao'er's sullen expression, Qu Dibo showed a subtle smile. Although he has no opponent in the Hanzhong region, he knows that he will fight against Datang one day. Since you have to fight, you have to study the opponent. Although there are also Tang Dynasty people in the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu, most of them are only here to do business. Although Zhang Baoer is also nominally here to do business, Qu Dibo's eyes are spicy, and he can see that Zhang Baoer is by no means that simple. Intentionally or unintentionally, Qu Dibo regarded Zhang Baoer as his future opponent, and he subconsciously felt that perhaps in the confrontation with this young man, he had somewhat appreciated the way of thinking and handling things of the Tang Dynasty.
The first confrontation between the two seemed to end in Qu Dibo's compromise, but in fact, Qu Dibo still had a slight advantage.
Qu Dibo smiled slightly, and calmly said something to everyone in the language of the big food, Zhang Bao'er couldn't understand a word, but he could feel that after listening to Qu Dibo's words, those young people seemed to be excited and restless.
Zhang Baoer felt strange and looked at Amy Dan: "What did he say?" ”
Amidan whispered: "The Governor said that Her Royal Highness the Princess has reached the age of marriage, no matter who it is, if he can win the favor of the Princess, the Governor is willing to marry the Princess to him!" ”
"Oh!" Zhang Bao'er somewhat understood why Qu Dibo let so many young people appear here, it turned out that he was going to give Alia a blind date.
Sure enough, as soon as Qu Dibo's words fell, a young man with a big food got up and walked up to the princess and said something.
Alia kept her lips pursed and didn't say a word.
Seeing the young man of the big food shuttling in front of Alia's desk like a marquee, he suddenly whispered to Juqi: "You can go too, brother!" It's up to you, if you can win the favor of the princess, it will be of great benefit to our Kang country! ”
"If you want to go, I won't go!" Juqi said impatiently.
