Chapter 729: Competing for Favor

The white fox and the magpie seemed to be quite attentive, and they were unconditionally obedient to all the requirements made by Li An, and they didn't want to be obedient, and they seemed to be very afraid that Li An would repent, and let them stay in Anzhu City, so that their fate would be very miserable, and the good days would come to an end.

Maybe that's fear! And the premise of fear is because their fate is completely in the hands of Ang Li, not in their own hands, Zou Ji sarcastically said that there is a sentence in King Qi's admonition, which means that the concubine is afraid of me, so I dare not say my shortcomings, why is the concubine afraid of Zou Ji? Because the status of the concubine in that era was very low, Zou Ji could drive the concubine away with just one sentence and let the concubine fend for herself, so that the concubine's good life would come to an end, so she would naturally be very afraid in her heart and dare not open her mouth to offend her husband.

The situation of the white fox and the magpie is the same, they cried and begged Li An, so that Li Anxin softened, and promised to take them away from Anzhu City, and from then on completely away from the demon cave-like Chunxiang Building, if Li An suddenly repented, then their fate will return to the original point again, and life will be bleak again.

Although Ang Lee doesn't give them any title, just makes them maids, as long as they can stay by Ang Lee's side, they will feel very happy.

People say that after seeing the mountains, they will no longer be interested in small mounds, and after seeing excellent men, they will no longer be interested in ordinary men, and the white fox and magpie, after getting along with Ang Lee for a long time, will no longer be interested in other men.

In their eyes, those greasy uncles who go to visit the Qinglou are simply extremely disgusting flies and bedbugs, which make them disgusting when they see them, if Li An doesn't want them, in the future, their fate will be constantly ruined by those greasy uncles, and life is better than death.

Ang Lee naturally understands all this, so he also accepts the meticulous care of the two with peace of mind, and from time to time he also teases the two of them, making the two giggle.

Isn't it stupid to take advantage of it? Li Anke is not a fool, he is a completely smart person, and he is also a bad boy, and it is impossible not to take advantage of it in front of him.

"White Fox, why didn't Yun'er come and didn't see them early in the morning?"

Ang Lee asked casually.

"Ah Lang, Sister Yun'er said that she was a little uncomfortable, and the beauty was by her side."

The white fox said softly.

"Yuna is not feeling well?"

Li An paused for a moment, and then smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Yuna is fine, how can she suddenly feel uncomfortable? Naturally, she was not very comfortable, and the reason why Yun'er was uncomfortable was also very easy to explain, that is, Li Ang had hinted to her yesterday that she would not take the white fox and magpie with her when she left, but later, Li Ang decided to take the white fox and the magpie away, which naturally made Yun'er's heart feel a little uncomfortable, but she was just a slave and was not qualified to make irresponsible remarks about Li An's decision, so she could only sulk by herself.

In fact, if Li An has always regarded it as an ordinary working slave, Yun'er will not have an opinion on Li An's acceptance of the white fox and magpie, but will feel that there are two more slaves and maids, and it will be easier to work in the future, but Yun'er is not an ordinary working slave, but a high-level slave who is responsible for the bed, after being entangled with Li An, she has gradually become addicted, almost a day without itching uncomfortable, and the white fox and the magpie are also in charge of the bed, so that there are more people in charge of the bed, and Li An's chances of pampering her are relatively less, As a result, she will have to be alone in the empty room for a long time.

Now that he knows the reason why the white fox is uncomfortable, Li An naturally has a way to treat it, like this case, he only needs to snap hard, and any disease will be cured, and if he snaps a few more times, he will be alive immediately.

"White Fox, since Yun'er is not feeling well, then the three of us will go to breakfast first! Walk. ”

Ang Lee consumed too many calories last night, and his stomach was already hungry, and his body would not be able to stand it if he didn't eat again.

"Come, Alang, try this."

The white fox picked up a piece of dish he made with his own hands and gently stuffed it into Li An's mouth.

"Well, it's good, it's delicious, it tastes very good, and the white fox's craftsmanship has improved a lot, hahaha!"

Li An opened his mouth and praised happily.

"Hehe, as long as Ah Lang likes to eat, the white fox will make it for Ah Lang every day in the future, okay."

The white fox snorted.

Li An kissed the white fox lightly on the cheek, nodded and said, "Okay, of course, the food made by the white fox is my favorite food." ”

"Come, Ah Lang, take another bite."

The white fox worked hard to please Li An, and fed Li An again.

The place to eat is not very far from the place where they live, and the laughter between Ang Lee and the white fox is very loud, and Yun'er, who is sulking in the room, naturally hears it all.

She walked to the window lightly, and watched the white fox and Li An happily eating, and her heart was even more uncomfortable.

"Ah Lang is a big liar, he said yesterday that he was about to leave, and he wanted to accompany the white fox and the magpie more, but early this morning, the white fox told us that Ah Lang would leave Anzhu City with them, what is this called?"

Yun'er said angrily.

The beautiful woman next to her sighed and said softly: "Sister Yun'er, Ah Lang is the pillar of the imperial court, and we are just ordinary little slaves, what does Ah Lang want to do, how can we have an opinion, I think my sister seems to have forgotten her identity, if Ah Lang is unhappy, Ah Lang can sell us into the Qinglou with a word." ”

"Yes! We are just little slaves, we have been sold and sold since we were children, since we followed Ah Lang, this day has only gotten better, Ah Lang treats us very well, unconsciously let us forget our identity, now think about it, we are not so important, we are just a little slave who was sold to Ah Lang, we have been serving Ah Lang, Ah Lang is so good to us, if we make Ah Lang angry, oops! Forget it, don't want to. ”

Yun'a suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart, feeling that she was too small, just a weed on the side of the road.

The beauty continued: "Sister Yun'er, you see, how hard the white fox and the magpie are, if they were not so hard, how could Ah Lang take them with them, and they are still working so hard to please Ah Lang, because they are afraid that Ah Lang will regret it and don't want them." ”

Yun'er nodded approvingly, and said: "What my sister said is very reasonable, if we don't serve Ah Lang well because of our anger, soon, our status will be replaced by the white fox and the magpie, and at that time, there may be no place for us by Ah Lang's side." ”

"Sister Yun'a, should we continue to stay in the house?"

The beautiful woman spoke.

Yun'er smiled at the corner of her mouth, walked out of the room, and said: "We have served Ah Lang for many years, how can we lose to two newcomers, along the way, Ah Lang has met so many beauties, but he has never snubbed us, which is enough to show that we are still very attractive, as long as we behave well, we will not lose to any woman, go, serve Ah Lang." ”

The two of them held hands and walked towards Li An and the three of them, who were having breakfast, with sweet smiles on the corners of their mouths, and their complexions were also very good, not at all like they were not feeling well.

"Ah Lang, Sister Yun'er, they're here."

The magpie saw the two of them and opened his mouth to remind.

Li An turned his head sideways and saw Yun'er and the beauty coming, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, Yun'er's complexion was very good, not at all like an uncomfortable appearance, which made Li An confirm his previous thoughts, Yun'er was just uncomfortable, and there was nothing wrong with her body.

"Yun'er, Ah Lang heard that you are not feeling well, are you feeling better now?"

Li An pretended not to know and asked with concern.

Yun'er put her hands on Li An's shoulders and said gently: "Ah Lang, the slave maid slept a little late last night, and her body is fine, she rested for a while, and now there is no problem, I heard that Ah Lang worked hard yesterday, let the slave maid press your shoulder!" ”

After speaking, he took out his highest level and massaged Ang Lee's shoulder, which was very good, making Ang Lee feel comfortable all over his body.

Li An stroked the back of Yun'er's hand with one hand, nodded and said, "Very good, Yun'er's techniques are becoming more and more exquisite, and she has made great progress!" Hahaha! ”

Maybe Yun'er was appreciated, and the white fox suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart, so he hurriedly picked up the dishes and fed Li An gently, which meant competing for favor with Yun'er.

Ang Lee is more comfortable now, the slaves and maids compete for favor with each other, and they will use all their strength and charm to please Ang Lee, and Ang Lee only needs to sit and enjoy.

After breakfast, Li An gathered some of his subordinates and began to discuss the plan for the next stop, because the officials of Anzhu City sent by the imperial court will arrive soon, and as long as these officials arrive in Anzhu City, Li An will leave here and go to the next stop.

Regarding the location of the next stop, Li An has already thought clearly, that is, near the city of Aden due west, where is the throat of the trade route into the Red Sea, it is a very important transportation hub location, and the strategic position is extremely important, and the northernmost point of the Red Sea is not very far from the Mediterranean Sea, only a canal needs to be dug to be connected, if the canal is the northern outlet of the Red Sea, then the vicinity of Aden City is the southern exit of the Red Sea, and the strategic position is equally important, so the Tang Empire must control the surroundings of Aden City, This must be done, no matter how great the cost.

Li Ang spread out the huge map, and told his thoughts to many subordinate officials on the map, and was ready to listen to their opinions.

"Li Shilang, the location of this Aden City is indeed very important, and the adjacent real triangle is a strategic location, if it can all belong to the Tang Empire, it would be great."

A civil official said.

"Since this place is so good, then what else do you want, just take it directly, with my Tang military might, it is not a piece of cake to take the small city of Aden."

A military general wanted to make a war exploit and shouted loudly.

"The land that Li Shilang has a fancy to is the land of my Tang Dynasty, as long as Li Shilang gives an order, we will definitely go all out to capture the city of Aden for the Tang Empire."

Another military general spoke.

When Li An heard this, the corners of his mouth smiled, the self-confidence of these subordinates is very strong, the civilian officials are full of covetousness, and they want to own the city of Aden, but they never say robbery easily, and the military generals are more direct, their minds are full of the word robbery, as long as they can obtain the land by force, they will not be soft.

"You are also optimistic about Aden City, and the official is very pleased, but my Datang is here to open up the Maritime Silk Road, not to bully the weak, don't always think about fighting and killing, you must convince people with reason, and let Aden City willingly join the Tang Empire, this is what a big country should do."

Li said forcefully, that is, he asked his subordinates to be low-key and not too direct.

"Li Shilang, we don't know too much about the specific situation of Aden City, we all know it from businessmen, some of the information may not be accurate, if you want them to take the initiative to join the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid it's not easy, however, my subordinates feel that we can send some people first, disguise themselves as merchants, and enter Aden City first to understand the situation, only by understanding the situation inside Aden City in detail, can we better prescribe the right medicine."

A civil official said.

Li An nodded and said: "This is what the official also means, then send fifty people to Aden City first, this matter must be done in a more concealed way, and the news must not be leaked." ”

Although I don't know much about the specific details of Aden City, but the most basic surface situation, Li Ang is still very clear, Aden City was originally a small city-state, has been under the rule of the Himyar Kingdom, and was later conquered by the Roman Empire, became part of the Roman Empire, and then was conquered by the Persian Empire, became the territory of the Persian Empire, and more than a hundred years ago, the city of Aden was conquered by Muhammad, the founding monarch of the Great Food Country, and since then it has converted to the religion and ruled the country.

In other words, the city of Aden was conquered by the Great Food Country more than a hundred years ago, and the common people gradually joined the Great Food Country.

However, they belong to the Umayyad Dynasty, and in recent years, the Umayyad Dynasty has been declining, and the new Abbasid Dynasty is flourishing, but the two forces are still fighting, and the city of Aden is far away from the center of the Great Food Country, so it is not involved in this battle, but whether it is the declining Umayyad Dynasty or the nascent Abbasy Dynasty, they very much hope that the city of Aden can stand on their side, in order to increase their own strength and increase their chances of victory.

If the city of Aden has been oscillating between the two forces, then it is very likely to be attacked, it is said that both the white and black food have sent elite soldiers and horses to the north of the city of Aden, and frequently sent envoys to demand that the city lord of the city of Aden make an immediate choice and join his camp, otherwise, he will die.

However, perhaps the defense force of Aden City is strong enough, or maybe the two old and new forces are evenly matched, and no one dares to force Aden City too much, so after a long time, there is no war near Aden City, and merchants can also go to Aden City to do business without hindrance, and all they feel is a peaceful atmosphere, and there is no slightest tension of war.
