Ang Lee wanted to take his own ship to Spain, but that was impossible. The only way to go to Spain was to take the land route to the port of Egypt and then rent the Ottoman fleet to go to Spain.
However, Ang Lee was very unhappy when he thought of the inferior ships that the Ottomans had. The journey from Egypt to Spain was relatively long. Even with Ang Lee's steam-powered ship, it would take many days. If it were an ordinary ship with sails, the speed would be even slower. Moreover, the comfort would be far worse. The journey would be a torment.
Ang Lee's own ship had too many advanced and comfortable equipment. It could allow people to live very comfortably on it. On the other hand, the living conditions of ordinary sailing ships in other countries were very poor. Even the captain's residence was very difficult. It was simply impossible to have a good freshwater bath.
As for Li An, he was already used to completing missions on the ship while enjoying his life comfortably. If the entire journey was filled with hardships, Li An would definitely not be willing to do so. However, there was no better choice now. It seemed that this was the only way.
However, conditions were dead, but people were alive. There were always more ways than difficulties. As long as he thought about it carefully, there were still ways to change it.
First of all, Ang Lee was not in a hurry. After going to Egypt, he would not immediately take a ship to Spain. After all, resolving the differences between the Ottomans and the Spanish court required persuasion and deterrence from both sides. First, he would persuade the Ottomans. Then, he would go to the Spanish court and ask them to stop provoking Ziyad. It would be good for both sides to coexist peacefully.
It would take at least eight to ten days to persuade the Ottomans. This time was more than enough to make some of the ships of the Ottomans more comfortable. Moreover, he could use the machinery carried by the Tang Dynasty fleet to temporarily build a small number of steam ships. They could directly tow a large sailing ship forward, thus avoiding the need to recruit a large number of sailors. It would not only speed up but also ensure absolute safety.
Modifying the living conditions of sailing ships and building small steam ships was not difficult for the technical talents under Ang Lee. It was a piece of cake.
Because the journey was relatively long, Ang Lee was not going to take Yun 'er and the others this time. As for the loneliness of the journey, it was not a problem at all. No matter where Ang Lee went, he would not be afraid that there would not be a handsome young woman throwing herself at him. It would not be difficult to find a young and beautiful woman every day. Whether it was money or status, Ang Lee had the ability to do it.
In order to make the Ottomans and the small Spanish court listen to him, not only did Ang Lee have to persuade them personally, but he also had to lead a large number of troops. If there were too few troops, it would not be a huge deterrent, which would make the Ottomans and the small Spanish court obey Ang Lee in public but oppose him in private. He had to lead enough troops to make them realize that if they did not listen to Ang Lee's persuasion, the Tang Dynasty's army could destroy them at any time. Only in this way could he ensure that they would listen to him obediently.
The last time he went to the Arabian Peninsula, Ang Lee brought more than a thousand elite soldiers and scared off Ziyad's army of nearly 100,000. However, this time, Ang Lee planned to bring more troops to Egypt. He would bring a total of 3,000 troops to Egypt, half of them would stay behind, and the rest would go to Spain by ship.
With such a large elite army as his backing, Ang Lee believed that the Ottomans and the small Spanish court would definitely listen to him. If they dared to disobey, Ang Lee would take action. If necessary, he would support the pro-Tang faction to ensure the absolute interests of the Tang Dynasty.
Ang Lee wanted to dispatch 3,000 troops. This was not a small number. Along the way, Ang Lee only had less than 10,000 troops left. Dispatching 3,000 troops was definitely not a small number. Moreover, it was under the condition that all the ships were left behind. The pressure was relatively high.
In order to ensure sufficient logistics, all the motorized vehicles were conscripted. In addition, many carriages were also conscripted.
Li Feiyu still followed Ang Lee this time and was responsible for the daily operations of the army to reduce the pressure on Ang Lee's shoulders.
"Alang, how long will you be gone this time? You just came back! "
Yun 'er lay in Ang Lee's arms and was very reluctant to part with him.
"Alang, take us with you this time! It's a long journey. Let us sisters serve you well. How nice would that be! "
The beautiful woman was also reluctant to let Ang Lee leave.
White Fox directly hugged Ang Lee's thigh and said coquettishly, "Alang, I don't care. I want to go too. I want to go too."
On the other hand, Magpie pouted and seemed to have a lot of opinions.
Ang Lee gently stroked the four people's heads and said, "The journey will be very difficult. I didn't take you with me so that you can have a good rest here. Alang will be back soon. Just wait here."
"No, I want to go too."
Yun 'er continued to act coquettishly.
Ang Lee glared and pretended to be angry, "Listen to me. No one is allowed to go. Stay at home obediently. Whoever doesn't listen, be careful of Alang's spanking."
"Alang, since you're leaving tomorrow, let us serve you tonight!"
White Fox said.
The corner of Li An's mouth curled into a smile as he said in an overbearing manner, "Ah Lang is leaving tomorrow, so of course we're going to have a good time tonight. Don't even think about escaping the four of you. Ah Lang is going to take you all one by one … But tonight, we'll do it one by one."
White Fox and the others discussed and decided that White Fox would be the first to serve, followed by the beautiful woman and Magpie. Yun 'er would be the last to appear. They had to give Ang Lee an unforgettable night.
"Alang."
White Fox was not wearing anything. She smiled like a flower and walked to Ang Lee's bed. She posed in a very flirtatious manner, causing Ang Lee to feel unbearably hot. He directly picked her up and threw her on the bed.
Ang Lee fiercely pushed White Fox down, admiring the way White Fox trembled. Ang Lee loved to admire this kind of expression like a frightened deer. Every time he admired it, Ang Lee would be intoxicated.
White Fox had been with Ang Lee for so long. In fact, she was no longer that shy. But sometimes, in order to cater to Ang Lee's appetite, she still had to pretend to be frightened. She was like a deer that had been pounced on by a pack of wolves, trembling as she looked at her master who was on top of her.
Ang Lee enjoyed this feeling very much. At the same time, this feeling also promoted Ang Lee to be more ferocious. He tossed White Fox around until she screamed and screamed. She felt like dying. She was dizzy several times. If Ang Lee did not lightly slap her face a few times, she would not have been able to wake up.
"Alang, you're amazing today! How can you be so amazing? "
White Fox was completely conquered. Her body and mind were conquered. Every cell and every pore was conquered by Ang Lee. She laid delicately in Ang Lee's arms like a pet, completely losing herself.
Ang Lee hugged White Fox tightly in satisfaction, enjoying the pleasure of obedience.
"When was Alang not amazing? Hasn't Alang always been amazing?"
Ang Lee gently stroked White Fox's back and said gently.
White Fox chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, yes. Alang is amazing every day. Alang is the most amazing person in the world. No one can surpass Alang. Alang is the best, the best man in the world."
Her coquettish praise made Ang Lee feel very comfortable. He was even a little reluctant to let go of White Fox. However, there was a limit to one night. Everyone could only have two hours at most. Otherwise, the rest of the people would not have a chance. For Ang Lee, who treated all matters equally, this was obviously intolerable.
"There's still fifteen minutes left. Let's chat for a while!"
Ang Lee said gently in White Fox's ear.
White Fox nodded gently and agreed to Ang Lee's request.
"White Fox, are you homesick?"
Ang Lee asked.
White Fox paused for a moment and said in confusion, "Homesick? Alang, White Fox no longer has a home. White Fox's home is wherever Alang is. "
Ang Lee felt pity for her. He stroked White Fox's earlobe and said softly, "Okay, okay, okay. Alang is your home. Alang will never abandon you. Never."
"Hmph, I believe you."
White Fox smiled warmly and seemed to be very happy. She paused and said, "There is no one better than Alang in the world. If Alang doesn't want White Fox one day, White Fox will shamelessly stare at Alang. Even a glance from afar is good enough. White Fox's heart will be warm to see Alang from afar."
Ang Lee was quite touched. He paused and continued to ask, "White Fox, your hometown is in the Tang dynasty. Do you want to go back to the Tang dynasty?"
White Fox looked at Ang Lee and said seriously, "Alang, White Fox's home is Alang. White Fox's hometown is where Alang is. As long as Alang is there, White Fox is willing to go. If Alang isn't there, White Fox doesn't want to go at all."
Ang Lee was quite touched and decided that he would never chase away such a good maid like White Fox. He would always keep her by his side.
"White Fox, your time is up."
Ang Lee bit White Fox's ear and reminded her.
White Fox answered reluctantly and hugged Ang Lee tightly for a hundred heartbeats. Then, she got up reluctantly and asked the beauty to go in to serve her.
The beauty had been eavesdropping outside, especially when she heard White Fox's shouts. When she entered the bed, her face was completely red.
The moment they entered the room, the white fox told the beauty that Li An was especially fierce tonight. The beauty was so frightened that she wanted to escape. However, she was also looking forward to it. She was looking forward to a different feeling.
Ang Lee's fierceness didn't weaken at all. After White Fox, he was still very fierce when he was pampering the beauty. When it came to Magpie, Ang Lee was a little tired, but he still forced himself to be spirited and didn't lose at all. This made Magpie very surprised.
When Yun 'er entered the room last, Ang Lee was already a little bored. However, he only needed to rest for a while and this feeling would surge up again.
After resting for an hour, Li An once again pulled himself together and doted on Yun'er until she fainted five or six times. Every time, he would forcefully pinch Yun'er's weak part of her body before she woke up again.
The sky soon brightened. After the three thousand Tang dynasty soldiers finished their breakfast, they began their intense preparation work. As long as they were ready, the army could set off.
However, Ang Lee wouldn't care about this. The preparation work would be completed by his subordinates. He only needed to pamper Yun 'er seriously. In the last battle, Ang Lee must make Yun' er cry and beg for mercy. He must make her tremble and make her completely surrender.
"Assistant Minister Li, the army is ready. The vanguard of five hundred people has set off."
The subordinate was about to report from the tent.
Ang Lee gently stroked Yun 'er's face and smiled faintly. He turned his head and shouted, "Got it. You can go now!"
After that, he continued to pamper Yun 'er. Yun' er's face was covered in tears. She cried and begged for mercy. She cried incoherently and her words couldn't be understood.
The subordinates outside naturally heard the commotion inside. With a smirk, they stepped away and stopped other subordinates from coming to report the situation.
After dawn, Ang Lee had to set off. Because he had fought hard all night, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep well on the way. He wouldn't be interested in eating sooner or later.
"Alang, this servant will send you off."
Yun 'er struggled to get up, but her legs seemed to be unable to move. Her breathing also seemed to be a little chaotic. Her haggard expression was as if she had just been seriously ill. As soon as she moved to the bedside, she almost fell off the bed.
"Yun 'er, just lie down! Don't fall. Alang is leaving now. There's no need to send me off. "
Ang Lee said with heartache as he looked at Yun 'er, who had a pitiful expression and didn't have any strength in her body.
Yun 'er really wanted to send Ang Lee off, but her body was unable to move. She could only watch as Ang Lee left. Her expression was one of reluctance.
When they walked out of the tent, only White Fox was holding onto the tent and watching them leave. The beauty and Magpie were lying in the room beside them. They couldn't get up at all. Especially the beauty. She was sleeping like a dead pig and was even snoring.
"Big Brother, your dark circles. Haha! That's too serious! "
Li Feiyu saw Ang Lee's heavy dark circles at a glance. He felt that it was a little exaggerated and laughed loudly.
"Is it funny?"
Ang Lee was a little tired and said indifferently.
Li Feiyu was stunned for a moment. He restrained his smile and said, "Big Brother, you have to take care of your body. Don't be too tired. Look, the little maid can't even stand straight."
Ang Lee turned around and looked at White Fox. He smiled faintly and turned back to stare at Li Feiyu and the others. He said loudly, "Pass down the order. The main force is to set off immediately."
