"Hehe, so you think so too~"
Compared to Zhou Yu who was trying hard to hold back his laughter, the little milk ball had no worries.
Hearing Yuchi Baolin's question, she immediately giggled and asked another question.
Upon hearing this, Yuchi Baolin suddenly came back to his senses and quickly waved his hands, saying, "No, no, no, this is clearly a furry beast. How could it be my father?"
This guy denied it so firmly, but his eyes kept glancing at the phone screen from time to time.
There's no way around it, they look so much alike that even he, his own son, can't help but overthink it.
Zhou Yu naturally saw all of Yuchi Baolin's reactions.
Just as he was about to make a few jokes, a man dressed in foreign clothes suddenly walked out of the restaurant quickly.
The man was wearing a crimson brocade robe with a lapel, and the edging of the robe was made of fur from some unknown animal.
He lowered his eyebrows deliberately to weaken the deep eye sockets that were unique to foreigners. His sheepskin boots stepped quickly on the ground, and his turquoise-studded belt jingled as he bowed, clearly trying to please.
The man trotted over to Zhou Yu and performed a foreign salute enthusiastically.
Then, he said enthusiastically in not very standard Chinese: "Young Master Zhou, you are so honored to be here. I apologize for not welcoming you in person."
When Zhou Yu saw Lu Dongzan, he swallowed back the teasing that was about to come out of his mouth.
However, he did not respond, but looked up and down at Lu Dongzan opposite him.
Seeing Zhou Yu staring at him, Lu Dongzan quickly looked at Yuchi Baolin next to him.
At this time, only the middleman Yuchi Baolin could ease the atmosphere.
However, at this time, Yuchi Baolin was afraid that others would see the photo of the gorilla in his mobile phone, so he had no time to notice the signal Lu Dongzan gave him.
For a moment, the atmosphere was frozen.
Seeing Yuchi Baolin's reaction, a barely perceptible anger flashed in Lu Dongzan's eyes.
But then he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Young Master Zhou, please come upstairs. I have already prepared some wine in the private room on the third floor."
As he said this, he made a gesture of invitation to Zhou Yu.
Seeing Lu Dongzan's performance, Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. After all, he was the one who could become the prime minister of Songtsen Gampo and finally seize power. His shameless skills were really not comparable to ordinary people.
Zhou Yu actually didn't have any good feelings towards Lu Dongzan.
No matter how the history books whitewash Princess Wencheng's marriage, it was a shame for the Tang Dynasty.
It is a tragedy that the peace between the two countries has to be maintained by women.
Besides, Princess Wencheng brought a lot of good things with her when she got married.
According to historical records, Princess Wencheng's dowry was simply a mobile treasure house, filled with the most advanced technology and cultural achievements of the Tang Dynasty.
In agriculture, the agricultural technicians brought by Princess Wencheng were like messengers of wisdom.
They patiently taught the Tibetan people advanced agricultural techniques from the Central Plains and improved the methods of growing highland barley, which resulted in a significant increase in highland barley production.
Moreover, they also brought vegetable planting and fruit tree cultivation techniques, allowing fruits and vegetables that were not originally there to grow on the Tubo land.
Not only that, technologies such as winemaking, ceramics, textiles, and papermaking were actually introduced into Tubo because of Princess Wencheng's marriage.
Originally, Tubo was very backward in these aspects, but with the introduction of these technologies, Tubo's economy began to flourish.
However, after Songtsen Gampo died, his grandson who inherited his position was too young, so all the power of Tubo fell into the hands of Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan.
According to unofficial historical records, after Lu Dongzan came to power, he inherited Songtsen Gampo's concubines in accordance with Tibetan rules, including Princess Wencheng.
There are also rumors that Princess Wencheng later gave birth to a boy and a girl for Lu Dongzan.
After Lu Dongzan came to power, he continued to lead Tubo to expand, and later gradually completely devoured the territory of Tuyuhun.
After that, the relationship between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty gradually began to deteriorate.
In 670 AD, Xue Rengui led his army to attack Tubo, but was surrounded in Dayechuan for various reasons. Finally, he had to sign a peace treaty with Tubo and retreated from the plateau.
Upon hearing Lu Dongzan's invitation, Yuchi Baolin finally came back to his senses.
Thinking he was the middleman, he quickly pretended to be enthusiastic and introduced the restaurant. "Young Master Zhou, this restaurant was specially selected by the Tubo envoy. Not only does it have the special food of Chang'an City, but it also has the most expensive drinks in the Little Rhino Supermarket~"
"Haha~ The envoy is quite good at choosing places. But don't you know that the best delicacies and wines in Chang'an City are all made by me?"
Zhou Yu ignored Yuchi Baolin, but looked at Lu Dongzan meaningfully.
This guy went to such great lengths to find me through Yuchi Baolin, it definitely wasn't just for a simple meal.
It's just that the unlucky kid Yuchi Baolin is not smart enough. If it were Cheng Chumo, Lu Dongzan might have been caught by him.
But since I'm here, I have to find out what Lu Dongzan's purpose is.
If there is a chance, it is not impossible to trick this guy.
Although the Tubo people today cannot even grow crops well, they have no shortage of cattle, sheep and minerals.
Even if we can't get the mineral deposits, it would be good to get more cattle and sheep for the Tang Dynasty.
Otherwise, Li Er always wanted to make a fortune, which seemed a bit petty.
After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Lu Dongzan did not get angry. Instead, he bowed again and said with a smile, "It is precisely because I know that these good things are all made by Mr. Zhou that I am eager to make his acquaintance."
