Chapter 26 Unbearable

Mosremasa suddenly interrupted Li Longji's order, which made Li Longji brow beat, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart.

The people around him looked at Mosremasa for no reason, and didn't know why he stood up at this time.

Pei Min looked at Mosremasa in discomfort. The Arab navy's new defeat was not easy to fight in the short term. The Tang Dynasty's control over the Western Regions had not yet reached its ideal state and had no intention of a decisive battle with the West.

Both sides can clearly see each other's situation. Pei Min knew that even if Mosremasa was willing to take over the enemy, she would not use this method.

But seeing Mosremasa leave the seat and stand up, come to Gongsun You, and kneel down on one knee...

His kneeling immediately caused an uproar in the hall.

Dongfang has a serious idea of ​​favoring boys over girls, and it is extremely embarrassing to kneel down to women.

Even if a strong woman like Wu Zetian and Princess Taiping appeared before, she could not change this fact at all.

Especially a woman with a status like Gongsun You, although she does not belong to a lowly family and has a higher status than a geisha, she is not among the four civilians, scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants.

Mosremasa was the great duke of the West, and he was also the caliph of the Arab Empire, the emperor's younger brother. He was a prince-level figure in terms of titles from the Tang Dynasty.

It is really horrifying to a prince kneel down to a woman under her status.

Pei Min looked very polite. Compared with the civil and military officials in the court, he understood Western culture better.

The West does not mean that it prefers boys over girls, but it is much better than the East.

They are very open in this regard and regard saluting women as a manifestation similar to a gentleman, just like a Chinese gentleman.

The upper-class people in the West also have their own etiquette. They regard humility, honor, sacrifice, heroism, mercy, honesty, justice, and soul as virtue mottos, which later became chivalrous and gentlemanly demeanor.

But there is no chivalrous spirit yet, it is just a habit, and it has not yet become a spirit.

Gongsun You was shocked and avoided it immediately. He couldn't help but take two steps toward Pei Min, saying, "No need to give this great gift!"

Mosremasa saw Gongsun You avoiding him, and was a little confused. He didn't know what Gongsun You said, so he looked at his translator.

The translator smiled bitterly and translated Gongsun You's words all over, and at the same time explained the customs of the Tang Dynasty to Mosremasa: "In the East, pursuing women requires naga, asking for names, naji, nazion, and asking for appointments. It is to find a matchmaker, investigate the birth date, and hire a relative to the door, and go through six processes..."

Mosremasa said impatiently: "It's so troublesome. Tell this beautiful lady that when we see the girl we like, we will greet her politely. If the girl is not single, you can directly explain it. If she is single, you have the obligation to accept the hero's passionate pursuit. Tell this girl that her beauty is better than the legendary Aphrodite, which makes people obsessed. Mosremasa fell under her beauty and hopes to be her suitor."

The translator carefully translated Mosremasa's words to Gongsun You to know.

Only then did the people around him understand what Mosremasa intended.

In amazement for the bold and open courtship method of the West, he couldn't help but look at Gongsun You, hoping to see her reaction.

Although Orientals are different from Westerners in terms of aesthetics, Mosremasa is indeed a handsome talent, burly and handsome, and has an excellent background, but has a personal charm that attracts thousands of girls.

Gongsun You heard Mosremasa's explanation and was about to speak, but he saw Mosremasa approaching two more steps, intending to kneel in front of her again.

Gongsun You was still waiting to retreat, but a figure appeared in front of her. Looking at the familiar back, he felt inexplicably at peace.

Mosremasa bounced up like a spring when she was kneeling on the ground.

How can there be a reason why a living person suddenly appears in front of him?

The girl who kneeled down and fell in love with him was willing to do this Arab lion king, but a man who kneeled down and was still a future enemy, would never be able to do it.

Mosremasa narrowed her eyes and looked at the man in front of him who had already given him an opponent, and smiled and said, "Ask him, what does it mean?"

Listening to the translation, Pei Min also narrowed his eyes slightly. Gongsun You, the woman who made him moved, has a position in his heart second only to Jiao Chen.

Mosremasa pursued Gongsun You in front of him. Even if Pei Min couldn't take any reason, he couldn't bear it. He said tensely: "My beauty in the Tang Dynasty is naturally worthy of my hero of the Tang Dynasty. In my opinion, you are not qualified to pursue my beauty in the Tang Dynasty."

Faced with Pei Min's provocative words, the translator was a little embarrassed for a moment and didn't know how to translate.

Mosremasa is also a person who commands thousands of troops. From Pei Min's expression, he can see that he is not saying anything good, and said coldly: "Translation directly, no word is wrong!"

The translator had no choice but to tell Pei Min what he said intact.

Mosremasa laughed instead of anger and said arrogantly: "My lion king Mosremasa joined the army to kill the enemy at the age of eleven, and captured tens of thousands of miles of land for my country of great food, and captured millions of slaves... Heroes like me, who can compare with you in the Tang Dynasty? I am not qualified, who can do enough?"

Pei Min said calmly: "I know that you have the custom of duel in the West. You defeat all suitors through duels, so as to win the beauty with the honor of the winner. This vulgar and barbaric method cannot work for us. But I respect your customs and defeating you is the best way to solve this problem..."

Mosremasa heard Pei Min's tone of victory, a hint of anger flashed across his face and shouted: "I, Mosremasa, never refuse other people's challenges, and this time is of course no exception!" As he said that, he turned to Li Longji and said: "Your Majesty, please allow me to duel with the heroes of your country!"

Li Longji was a little hesitant.

Pei Min also bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the so-called master follows the guests. Dueling in a banquet in the West is a sacred thing. The duel between two warriors is an indispensable part of the banquet. I, the Tang Dynasty, don't like this, and I don't think I have prepared in advance. Why not take this opportunity to add a lottery to the banquet? The ministers are also skilled and learn about the martial arts of the Lion King. Let him know what people are outside people and there is heaven."

Mosremasa begged again: "Please help His Majesty the Tang Dynasty..."

When Li Longji saw that the arrow was on the string, he had to fire it. If he really refused, he would lose the face of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, he was very confident about Pei Min's martial arts, so he said, "Since that's the case, I'm sure."

Pei Min saw that he was at a loss behind him, and with Gongsun You blushed, he made a gesture of inviting her to sit down in her seat and asked her to prepare more bowls and chopsticks.
