The campsite was only about twenty miles away from Shilifoshi's palace. Even if they wanted to return to the palace immediately, they would still be able to make it in time. However, the environment here was better and the land was big enough. It was more suitable for a bonfire party.
In order to ensure the safety of the campsite, Shilifoshi's soldiers had set up three layers of security around the perimeter. The furthest security perimeter was ten miles away. There were also many soldiers patrolling the perimeter. It could completely prevent the attacks of wild beasts. Assassins would definitely not be able to enter the campsite.
In the north of the core area of the campsite, there were rows of tents. The two largest tents belonged to King Shilifoshi and Ang Lee. The surrounding tents were for the soldiers to provide a good protection.
There were also a few tents on the east and west sides for the patrolling soldiers to stay in temporarily. A large amount of firewood and various necessary tools were stored in the south.
In the middle of the campsite, bonfires were set up. Some of the bonfires were even roasting game.
The sky was about to darken. The soldiers tightened their defense and the cooks busied themselves with barbecuing. Li An and King Shilifoshi rested on the rocking chairs. The party was about to begin and they needed a good rest to replenish their energy.
"Someone, go and tell them not to damage the tiger skin. I want a complete one."
Ang Lee ordered with his eyes closed.
The guard went to give the order. Ang Lee continued to rest.
The climate in the tropical rainforest was hot and humid. It was natural for people to feel uncomfortable in such an environment. Especially for people who lived in the temperate zone, it was a form of torture. Fortunately, Ang Lee had an electric fan. He could lie down and enjoy it slowly. As for the source of electricity, it came from the portable generator. After a series of improvements, the latest portable generator was very small. It did not require coal, but gasoline. It was more efficient and easier to carry around.
Li An was lying outside the tent. Of course, the movement of the electric fan was noticed by those ignorant guards of Shilifoshi. They found it interesting, so they took a few more glances at it and started whispering to each other.
King Shilifoshi was really tired after accompanying Ang Lee for a whole day. He did not usually go hunting and had never been as tired as today. Therefore, he fell asleep unconsciously. However, it was a light sleep. He did not fall into a deep sleep.
After all, the conditions in the wild were limited. The ground that had been exposed to the sun for a whole day was still emitting residual heat in the evening. It was inevitable that people would feel uncomfortable lying in such a place. It was impossible for them to sleep well. Even the native King was no exception.
"Did you see it just now? The thing beside the Tang Army's commander can blow the wind. It's amazing. "
"I see it, I see it. The Great Tang really is more formidable than us. It has so many interesting things."
. sigh! I really want to go to see the Tang Dynasty..... "
"Why not? When we pay the tribute next time, we can apply to go to the Tang Dynasty."
"Yes, yes, yes. We must go to the Tang Dynasty."
Several soldiers whispered. However, when it came to something exciting, their voices involuntarily became louder. Therefore, their King heard it.
"What are you talking about?"
The King asked angrily.
The soldiers were startled and didn't dare to speak.
"I'm asking you something. Didn't you hear me?"
The King continued to ask. He scolded the palace maid next to him. "Fan quickly. Didn't you eat?"
The palace maid had been fanning for a long time, and her arms had long lost the strength. It was normal that she couldn't fan anymore. After scolding, although she felt wronged, she didn't dare to refute. She tried her best to fan the Emperor to cool down.
"Your Majesty, the one in the Tang Dynasty uses an automatic fan. We have never seen it before. It can blow a lot of wind. It's much stronger than the one they fan."
One of the guards said.
When the King heard it, he was stunned. His curiosity was piqued. He quickly got up and ran out of the tent. He wanted to see for himself what this so-called magic tool looked like.
"This thing can actually blow wind?"
The moment he saw the electric fan, King Srifoshi was very surprised. Obviously, the electric fan in front of him was different from what he had imagined.
"Assistant Minister Li, what is this? It can blow wind. How magical! Haha! "
The King knew that Ang Lee was definitely not asleep. Otherwise, he would not be lying outside the tent.
Ang Lee was lying still. He opened his eyes slightly and looked at the curious King. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is the electric fan I developed. As long as it is powered, it can blow wind. Moreover, the amount of wind can be adjusted."
As he spoke, he pressed a button. The wind of the fan suddenly increased, making it cooler.
"Electric fan? This is amazing. Is there only one?
King Srifoshi was envious. He looked around but did not see any new fans.
At this moment, the King was like a child. He was interested in everything. When he saw what Ang Lee had, he wanted to have the same one.
Ang Lee smiled and said softly, "The cost of making an electric fan is not high. It is much less expensive than a car. However, it needs electricity. I brought a lot of them along the way. I will give you one. Doesn't your palace have a set of generators given by the Tang Dynasty? Just plug it in."
After that, he signaled the guard to bring another electric fan. The two of them fanned too quickly and it was not comfortable.
"Assistant Minister Li, you brought a generator? Why didn't I see it?"
King Srivijaya asked curiously.
Ang Lee pointed at the box not far away and smiled. "The little guy next to it is a generator. It is the latest generation of generators. It is much smaller than the ones in your palace. In fact, the generator itself is much smaller than what you see. In order to isolate the noise, it is covered with two thin layers of iron sheets. In the middle of the thin iron sheets, there is a thick soundproof foam. So, there is not much noise. In order to lower the internal temperature, there is a fan installed inside."
Soon, the guard brought another electric fan and connected it to the power source. He placed it near the King.
"Wow, it is really cool! This is much cooler than the palace maids using hand fans. Moreover, it is very uniform. Thank you, Assistant Minister Li. Xiao Wang will kindly accept it. Haha! "
King Srifoshi was so excited that he couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear after obtaining a treasure that he coveted.
When Ang Lee saw the King's useless expression, he felt amused. He felt like he was looking down on him.
"Your Royal Highness, do you know the purpose of my trip?"
Ang Lee asked with a smile.
"Haha! Xiao Wang knows. I think it is to open up the Silk Road on the sea to promote the friendship between the Tang dynasty and our small countries. And … "
King Srivijaya's speech was disjointed, but he understood the gist of it.
Ang Lee nodded. "Your Royal Highness is right. The main purpose of my trip is to open up the Silk Road on the sea to the south of the Tang dynasty. I want to build this sea route into a commercial link between the Tang dynasty and the other countries. This is a great thing for the Tang Empire and the surrounding countries. It will greatly promote the development of the countries along the way. Your Royal Highness, aren't you interested in cars? In the future, when the Silk Road is fully built, many things from the Tang dynasty can be transported to this sea route to be sold. At that time, Your Royal Highness will not have to go to the Tang dynasty. You can buy a lot of good things from the Tang dynasty at your doorstep. "
"Oh, that's great. Xiao Wang is looking forward to that day. As long as I'm alive, Xiao Wang will still go to An City."
The King was looking forward to Chang 'an City. The last time he went there, it was an eye-opener. This time, after listening to Ang Lee's words, he realized that the Tang Empire had changed a lot. Therefore, he wanted to go and have a look.
"Okay, I'll wait for you in Chang 'an City. It's dark now. Let's party!"
Ang Lee said.
"Okay. Men, start the preparations."
King Sriviroshi ordered.
Ang Lee also asked the guards to set up electric lights around to increase the illumination and prevent danger from appearing in the dark.
After the banquet started, the first thing to do was to serve the food and wine. In addition, singing and dancing performances were indispensable. A party without beauties would be meaningless.
Due to the proximity to the sea route, they were exposed to more ultraviolet rays. Therefore, all the beauties of Sriviroshi were a little tanned. However, they were not as tanned as those in Africa. They were just slightly darker than those in the Tang dynasty.
They were both in the same latitude, but why were the African people very dark while the people of Nanyang were not? According to Ang Lee's understanding, it should be because of the topography and climate. It was normal to be hot all year round in the tropics. However, Africa was more of a grassland. The people living there were directly exposed to the sun. There were too many trees in the tropical rainforest. The trees could block the sun. Therefore, the Africans who were exposed to more sun would be darker.
Of course, this was only Ang Lee's personal understanding. Ang Lee was not sure if this was the reason.
After drinking the fine wine and wild game, Li An felt much more comfortable. At this time, a dance that made people feel relaxed and happy came on stage. More than a dozen young women wearing very thin clothes made of leaves gracefully came on stage.
Ang Lee was a very bad lolicon. According to the words of the later generations, he was a bad uncle who was old in appearance but young in heart. He had his eyes on cute lolis.
These exotic lolis were currently twisting their bodies. If Li An were to let them off so easily, he would be going against his original intentions. In the Great Tang, where human rights were worthless, there was no need to consider so much. Let's just do it first and talk later.
"I'm itching for a dance. Let's dance."
Ang Lee threw away the tiger meat in his hand and walked step by step to the group of dancing lolis.
"It's you. Dance the tango with me."
Ang Lee grabbed the most beautiful lolis and asked her to dance with him.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know. I can teach you."
The tango was a dance of the later generations. The lolis of this era certainly did not know how to dance. However, as long as one had a foundation in dancing, it was easy to learn. Ang Lee was confident that he could teach her.
Ang Lee took the little lolis' hands and danced the tango in the bonfire. Moreover, the range of the movements was very wide, giving people the feeling that he was very engrossed.
Because she had never danced this kind of dance, the little lolis kept stepping on Ang Lee's feet. However, it did not hurt. Moreover, this kind of clumsy feeling was Ang Lee's favorite because it was cute enough to make people feel protective of her.
"Little fool, you're stepping on my foot again."
Ang Lee said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, Assistant Minister Li. This little girl didn't mean it."
The little lolis seemed a little nervous.
Ang Lee smiled and said, "It's okay. You don't have to be nervous. When I first learned it, I was like this too. You'll learn slowly, baby."
Looking at the kind face of Ang Lee, the little lolis was not nervous anymore. She smiled and began to learn seriously.
After all, she was someone with a foundation in dancing. After learning for a while, the little lolis could follow Ang Lee's steps skillfully. The more she learned to cooperate with Ang Lee, the better.
Li An was very happy to see that the little loli's learning progress was very fast. He gently held the little loli's waist with his right hand and pressed the little loli's body down. Then, he bent down and looked into the little loli's eyes with a burning gaze.
After a gentle kiss, Ang Lee suddenly got up and began to use his left hand to hold the little lolis' waist. He pressed down and kissed her in one breath.
Below the stage, King Shilifoshi and the rest were dumbfounded. They had never seen such a dance before. Even the high officials of the Tang dynasty had never seen such a dance before. However, at the same time, they also felt that Ang Lee and the little lolis' dance was very good. It was very interesting.
One moment, they were hugging and the next moment, they were kissing. It was too interesting!
"It's better to have fun together than to have fun alone. Everyone, let's dance together!"
Li An felt that this was not satisfying enough, so he invited loudly.
"Come, come, come …"
Soon, King Shilifoshi and the rest of the people joined in. Each of them hugged a little lolis and imitated Ang Lee's dance. They danced enthusiastically by the bonfire.
Dancing was very enjoyable, especially when there were so many people dancing together. There were also young lolis accompanying them. They kissed and touched. It was very satisfying!
After dancing for a while, Ang Lee saw that everyone was a little tired, especially the young lolis. They were so tired that their foreheads were sweating. Hence, he stopped and continued to eat and drink.
"Your Highness, I'm very happy today. Very happy. Haha! Oh right, tomorrow morning, let's take a boat to find the pirates! Let Your Highness have a taste of what it's like to fight pirates. "
Ang Lee said.
For the current elite Tang Army Navy, fighting pirates was too easy. Ang Lee was too lazy to take care of it personally. He could leave it to his subordinates to do it properly.
