White Fox and Magpie appeared to be quite attentive. They obeyed all of Ang Lee's requests unconditionally. It seemed that they were afraid that Ang Lee would go back on his words and let them stay in Anzhu City. In that case, their fate would be very miserable, and their good days would come to an end.
Perhaps this was fear! The premise of fear was that their fate was completely in the hands of Ang Lee and not in their own hands. When Zou Ji mocked Prince Qi, there was a sentence that meant that the concubines were afraid of him, so they didn't dare to say anything about his shortcomings. Why were the concubines afraid of Zou Ji? Because the status of the concubines in that era was very low. Zou Ji could drive the concubines away with just a word and let the concubines fend for themselves. In this way, the concubines' good days would come to an end. Therefore, they were naturally very afraid and didn't dare to offend their husbands.
The situation of White Fox and Magpie was the same. They cried and begged Ang Lee to make Ang Lee's heart soften. He promised to take them out of Anzhu City and completely away from the Spring Fragrance Brothel. If Ang Lee suddenly went back on his words, then their fate would return to the beginning and their lives would be bleak again.
Although Ang Lee wouldn't give them any status and just let them be maids, as long as they could stay by Ang Lee's side, they would feel very happy.
People said that after seeing a tall mountain, they would no longer be interested in a small hill. After seeing an excellent man, they would no longer be interested in ordinary men. White Fox and Magpie, after being with Ang Lee for a long time, would no longer be interested in other men.
In their eyes, those greasy uncles who went to the brothel were simply extremely disgusting flies and bedbugs. Seeing them made them feel disgusted. If Ang Lee didn't want them anymore, their fate would be to be constantly ruined by those greasy uncles. Their lives would be worse than death.
Ang Lee naturally understood all of this, so he accepted the meticulous care of the two with a clear conscience. From time to time, he would tease the two, making them giggle.
Wouldn't it be stupid not to take advantage of the situation? Ang Lee was not a fool. He was a very smart person and also a bad boy. It was impossible for him not to take advantage of the situation in front of him.
"White Fox, why didn't Yun 'er and the others come? I didn't see them early in the morning?"
Ang Lee asked casually.
"Alang, Sister Yun 'er said that she's not feeling well. the beauty is by her side."
White Fox said softly.
"Yun 'er is not feeling well?"
Li An was stunned for a moment before a smile appeared on his face.
Yun 'er was fine fine fine fine. how could she suddenly feel? Naturally, she felt uncomfortable in her heart. The reason for Yun 'er's discomfort was very easy to explain. Ang Lee had hinted to her yesterday that he would not take White Fox and Magpie with him when he left. However, later on, Ang Lee decided to take White Fox and Magpie with him. This naturally made Yun' er feel uncomfortable in her heart. However, she was only a servant and had no right to criticize Ang Lee's decision. Therefore, she could only sulk.
In fact, if Li An had always regarded her as an ordinary working servant, Yun'er would not have any objections to Li An taking in White Fox and Magpie. Instead, she would feel that with two more servants, it would be easier to work in the future. However, Yun'er was not an ordinary working servant, but a high-level servant in charge of serving in the bedroom. After being entangled with Li An, she had gradually become addicted. Almost every day, she would itch uncomfortably if she did not have sex. White Fox and Magpie were also in charge of serving in the bedroom. As a result, there were more people in charge of serving in the bedroom, and Li An had fewer opportunities to pamper her. As a result, she would have to spend a lot of time alone in the empty room.
Since he knew the reason for White Fox's discomfort, Ang Lee naturally had a way to treat it. In this kind of situation, all he needed to do was to give her a hard slap. Any illness would be cured. After a few more slaps, she would immediately be full of energy.
"White Fox, since Yun 'er is not feeling well, then the three of us will go eat breakfast first! Let's go. "
Ang Lee had consumed too many calories last night. His stomach had long been hungry. If he did not eat, his body would not be able to take it.
"Come, Alang, try this."
White Fox picked up a piece of food that she had personally made and gently stuffed it into Ang Lee's mouth.
"En, not bad. It's very delicious. The taste is very good. White Fox's culinary skills have improved greatly. Hahaha!"
Ang Lee opened his mouth and praised happily.
"Hehe, as long as Alang likes to eat, White Fox will cook for Alang every day in the future. Is that okay?"
White Fox said coquettishly.
Ang Lee gently kissed White Fox's face and nodded. "Okay, of course it's okay. I love eating the delicacies made by White Fox."
"Come, Alang, have another bite."
White Fox tried her best to please Ang Lee and fed Ang Lee another bite.
The place where they ate was not very far from the place where they lived. Ang Lee and White Fox's laughter was very loud. Yun 'er, who was sulking in the room, naturally heard it all.
She gently walked to the window and watched White Fox and Ang Lee happily eating. Her heart felt even more uncomfortable.
"Alang is a big liar. Yesterday, he said that he was about to leave and wanted to spend more time with White Fox and Magpie. But this morning, White Fox told us that Alang would take them away from Anzhu City. What's going on?"
Yun 'er said angrily.
The beauty next to her sighed and said softly, "Sister Yun 'er, Alang is a pillar of the imperial court, and we are just ordinary servants. How can we have any opinions about what Alang wants to do? I feel that sister seems to have forgotten her identity. If we make Alang unhappy, Alang can sell us to a brothel with just a word."
"That's right! We are just small servants who have been sold since we were young. Ever since we followed Alang, our days have been better. Alang treats us very well, and we have unknowingly forgotten our identity. Now that I think about it, we are not that important. We are just small servants who were sold to Alang. We have always served Alang, and that's why Alang treats us so well. If we make Alang angry, aiya! Forget it, I don't want to think about it. "
Yun 'er suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart. She felt that she was too small, like a weed on the side of the road.
The beauty continued, "Sister Yun 'er, look, White Fox and Magpie are working so hard. If they didn't work so hard, Alang wouldn't have taken them with him. And now, they are working so hard to please Alang. They are afraid that Alang will go back on his word and abandon them."
Yun 'er nodded in agreement and said, "Sister's words are very reasonable. If we don't serve Alang well because of anger, our positions will soon be replaced by White Fox and Magpie. At that time, Alang might not have a place for us."
"Sister Yun 'er, then should we continue to stay in the room?"
The beauty said.
Yun 'er smiled and walked out of the room, saying, "We've served Alang for many years, how can we lose to two newbies? Along the way, Alang has met so many beauties, but he has never neglected us. This is enough to show that we are still very charming. As long as we perform well, we won't lose to any woman. Let's go and serve Alang."
The two of them held hands and walked towards Ang Lee and the other two who were eating breakfast. There was a sweet smile on their faces and their complexions were very good. They didn't look like they were feeling unwell at all.
"Alang, Sister Yun 'er and the others are here."
Magpie reminded them when she saw the two of them.
Ang Lee turned his head and saw Yun 'er and the beauty walking over. The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile. Yun' er's complexion was very good, and she didn't look like she was feeling unwell at all. This allowed Ang Lee to confirm his previous thoughts. Yun 'er was only feeling unwell in her heart, and there was nothing wrong with her body.
"Yun 'er, Alang heard that you weren't feeling well. Are you feeling better now?"
Ang Lee pretended that he didn't know and asked with concern.
Yun 'er placed her hands on Ang Lee's shoulders and said gently, "Alang, this servant slept a little late last night. My body is fine and I've rested for a while. There's no problem now. I heard that Alang worked hard yesterday. Let this servant massage your shoulders!"
After saying that, she took out her highest level of skill and massaged Ang Lee's shoulders. Her technique was very good, causing Ang Lee's entire body to feel very comfortable.
Ang Lee stroked the back of Yun 'er's hand with one hand and nodded, "Very good, Yun' er's technique is getting more and more exquisite. She has improved a lot! Hahaha! "
Perhaps it was because Yun 'er had received praise, but the white fox suddenly felt a sense of crisis. She quickly picked up some food and gently fed Ang Lee, as if she wanted to compete with Yun' er for favor.
Ang Lee felt even more comfortable now. Servants would use all their strength and charm to win Ang Lee's favor, while Ang Lee only needed to sit and enjoy.
After breakfast, Ang Lee gathered some of his subordinates and began to discuss the plan for the next stop. The officials from Anzhu City sent by the imperial court would arrive soon. As soon as these officials arrived, Ang Lee would have to leave and go to the next stop.
As for the location of the next stop, Ang Lee had already thought about it. It was near Aden City in the west, which was the throat of the trade route into the Red Sea. It was a very important transportation hub and had a very important strategic position. Moreover, the northernmost part of the Red Sea was not very far from the Mediterranean Sea. They only needed to dig a canal to connect the two. If the canal was the northern exit of the Red Sea, then the vicinity of Aden City would be the southern exit of the Red Sea. The strategic position was equally important. Therefore, the Tang Empire had to control the area around Aden City, no matter what price they had to pay.
Ang Lee spread out a huge map and told his subordinates about his idea according to the map. He was ready to listen to their opinions.
"Assistant Minister Li, the location of Aden City is indeed very important. Moreover, the triangular area around it is also a strategic location. It would be great if the Tang Empire could take it all."
A civil official said.
"Since this place is so good, why are we still thinking about it? Let's just take it. With the military power of the Tang Empire, it will be a piece of cake for us to take down the small Aden City."
A general wanted to make a military contribution, so he shouted loudly.
"The land that Assistant Minister Li likes will belong to the Tang Empire. As long as Assistant Minister Li gives the order, we will do our best to take down Aden City for the Tang Empire."
Another general said.
Hearing this, Ang Lee smiled. These subordinates were very confident. The civil officials' eyes were full of covetousness. They wanted to take Aden City, but they would not easily take it. The generals were even more direct. Their minds were full of the word "take". As long as they could take the land by force, they would not be soft-hearted.
"I am very pleased that all of you are optimistic about Aden City. However, the Tang Empire is here to open up the Maritime Silk Road, not to bully the weak. Don't always think about fighting and killing. We need to convince people with reason. We need to make Aden City join the Tang Empire willingly. This is what a big country should do."
Ang Lee pretended to be pretentious and asked his subordinates to keep a low profile and not be too direct.
"Assistant Minister Li, we don't know much about the specific situation of Aden City. We only know it from the merchants. Some of the information may not be accurate. It is not easy to make them join the Tang Empire. However, I think we can send a group of people to disguise themselves as merchants and enter Aden City to understand the situation. Only when we have a detailed understanding of the situation inside Aden City can we better make the right decision."
A civil official said.
Ang Lee nodded and said, "I have the same idea. Send 50 people to Aden City first. This must be done secretly. We must not let anyone know about it."
Although Ang Lee did not know the specific details of Aden City, he knew the basic situation on the surface. Aden City was originally a small city-state under the rule of the Kingdom of Himuyel. Later, it was conquered by the Roman Empire and became part of the Roman Empire. Then, it was conquered by the Persian Empire and became part of the Persian Empire. More than 100 years ago, Aden City was conquered by Muhammad, the founder of the Dashi Empire. Since then, it had been converted to Islam and was ruled by Islam.
In other words, Aden City had been conquered by the Dashi Empire more than 100 years ago, and its people had gradually submitted to the Dashi Empire.
However, they had submitted to the Umayyad Dynasty. In recent years, the Umayyad Dynasty had been declining, and the new Abbasid Dynasty was flourishing. However, the two forces were still fighting. Aden City was far from the center of the Dashi Empire, so it was not involved in this battle. However, both the declining Umayyad Dynasty and the new Abbasid Dynasty wanted Aden City to stand on their side so as to increase their strength and increase their chances of winning.
If the City of Aden continued to waver between the two factions, it was very likely that it would be attacked. It was said that the White Abbasid Caliphate and the Black Abbasid Caliphate had already sent their elite troops to the north of the City of Aden. They had also frequently sent envoys to ask the City Lord of Aden to make a decision immediately and join their faction.
