What Li Ke fractured was the small arm of his right hand, and strictly speaking, it cannot be called a fracture. It should be regarded as a relatively serious bone fracture, and the muscles were also severely strained.However, under the careful treatment of the imperial doctor, coupled with the fact that he is young and strong, his resilience is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Therefore, after nearly a month of treatment, the wooden board on Li Ke's hand has been removed. Except for using too much force, other simple movements are no longer a problem.

The Mediterranean region was hot, so the Romans loved to bathe.And in the Roman area, some people divided the life of the Roman nobles into two things, that is, bathing in the morning and banqueting in the afternoon.Although this statement is somewhat exaggerated, baths and banquets did take up a considerable amount of time for Roman nobles.

If you want to take a bath, you must have a bathroom. Most Romans would go to the public bathrooms in the city, but what Li Ke couldn't accept was that the public bathrooms in the city turned out to be mixed baths. Naked bathing in it, the scene was really shocking.

However, most aristocratic homes have their own private bathrooms, and this kind of private bathroom not only occupies a huge area, but also is very luxuriously constructed. It is usually made of high-quality marble, and some places are covered with gold and inlaid with gold. Precious stones, etc., such as the bathroom in the manor where Li Ke is located, belong to that kind of extremely luxurious bathroom.

In the hazy steam, Li Ke sat naked in a large bathing pool several feet long and wide, with his arms resting on the side of the pool in a very relaxed manner. Not far in front of him, the little slave girl Ke Lisi was swimming in the pool. swim.The plump breasts and round buttocks are looming in the clear pool water, and it looks like a mermaid in legend.Capital Datang 658

Chris swam in the pool for a while.Perhaps feeling a little tired, he paddled the water with his soft arms and swam to Li Ke's side.Then he pulled Li Ke's right arm into his arms and massaged it gently.Although Li Ke's injury is recovering well, if he wants to fully recover, he must do some activities, and massage can also help his muscles recover.

"Hmm~" Li Ke closed his eyes and moaned comfortably.Speaking of which, the Roman nobles would indeed enjoy it, especially the large bath they built. He had seen similar ones at Li Yin's place before, but it was much smaller than the one he was in.And the function is not complete.Even during the period when Li Ke was recuperating in Rome, he had a feeling of reluctance to leave. He believed that if his concentration was weak, he might really fall down in Rome.

But then a smile appeared on the corner of Li Ke's mouth. He was also in this bathroom a few days ago. He invited Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian, and while taking a bath, he talked about his idea of ​​"inserting" himself in the Mediterranean Sea. come out.As a result, Cen Changqian and the two of them became contemplative after hearing this, and it took a long while before they suddenly stood up.I was amazed at the idea on the spot.

Next, the three of them began to discuss the "feasibility" of entering the Mediterranean Sea. The first thing was to choose a place for them to develop. On this point, the three of them quickly reached an agreement and chose Ibi where the Visigothic Kingdom was located. Leah Peninsula.

The reason for choosing here.First of all, because the Iberian Peninsula is far enough from Rome, located at the east and west ends of the Mediterranean Sea, Li Ke's occupation there will not overly irritate the Romans.In addition, this peninsula is also one of the three peninsulas on the northern coast of the Mediterranean Sea.The largest one, where it guards the Strait of Gibraltar.Connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, it can be said that the geographical location is very important.

As for the Visigoths on the Iberian Peninsula.Li Ke really didn't pay attention to it. Although the opponent had once been brilliant and defeated the army of the Western Romans, but at that time the Western Romans were trapped internally and externally, and the army had already been corrupted. It can be said that it was completely vulnerable. The barbarians can beat them to pieces, and the Visigoths are just one of the more powerful ones.

What's more, after so many years, the Visigoths had already merged with the local Roman nobles, and now the nobles of the Visigothic Kingdom were as depraved as the Eastern Roman nobles he had seen.For such an opponent, Li Ke has full confidence, even without the most elite Han firearms troops, as long as he is given a prairie cavalry, he can sweep the entire Iberian Peninsula.

It is precisely because of such confidence that Li Ke quickly regarded the Iberian Peninsula as his own. However, if he wants to "insert" in the Mediterranean region, there must be one prerequisite, that is, the big cannibal Can't get his neck stuck.

If Li Yin wants to gain a firm foothold in the Mediterranean Sea, he will definitely need the support of Datang and Li Yin. However, if these manpower and material resources want to be transported, they must pass through the Suez Canal controlled by the big cannibal. If these ships pass, then these ships can only bypass the southern tip of Africa. This route is not only dangerous, but also takes several months.

The eastward path of the big cannibals has been blocked by the Tang Dynasty, coupled with the constraints of the Four Kingdoms Covenant, there is also a short-term peace between them and Rome, and the northward path is also blocked.In this way, they only have two roads left: marching westward to the Mediterranean Sea and going southward to occupy Africa. If Li Ke steps into the Mediterranean Sea, he will undoubtedly be taking food from the mouth of the big food.

Therefore, the three of them, including Li Ke and Cen Changqian, believed that if they really set foot in the Mediterranean Sea, they would inevitably arouse the hostility of the cannibals.However, it is not that there is no solution, but this solution cannot be done by Li Ke alone. It must rely on the strength of Datang, Daqi, and even Tianzhu, and Li Ke must come forward in person, so the problem of Dashi can be resolved. Put it aside for now, and wait for him to discuss it with Li Yin after he returns.

Apart from the cannibals, the only thing Li Ke needs to pay attention to in the entire Mediterranean is naturally only one Roman. Although he has tried his best to choose a place far away from Eastern Rome, as the traditional overlord of the Mediterranean, Li Ke entered the Mediterranean. It will definitely arouse the hostility of some upper-class Roman nobles.Although they still need to rely on Datang and dare not react too hostilely, they control the entire Mediterranean Sea after all, and if they use some means secretly, it will also bring a lot of trouble to Li Ke.

It is precisely because of this that, after considering this point, Cen Changqian suggested to Li Ke that he could tell Irina about this matter alone and get the other party's help.For this Roman queen, Cen Changqian has already seen it very thoroughly. The other party is a woman who can do everything for her feelings. In addition, Irina has no real feelings for Constans II. If the other party confesses, it is likely to get Irina's all-out help. After all, if Li Ke can gain a foothold in the Iberian Peninsula, then the distance between her and Li Ke will be much closer, and it may even be possible to stay together in the future.

Li Ke, who was lying in the bath, thought of Cen Changqian's suggestion, but felt conflicted.In fact, to be honest, Li Ke didn't have much affection for Irina before. At most, it was just out of a man's instinctive impulse to hunt for beauty. In addition, Irina is also the queen of Rome. For any man, this status is They all have a fatal attraction, and Li Ke is no exception.

Even at the beginning, Li Ke just reported that he had a playful mentality. After all, he was just a passer-by in Rome, and he would leave soon, and he might even never come back, so he didn't mind being here, with a beautiful and noble A woman has a short-term relationship, but this kind of relationship is at most physiological, and it cannot be regarded as a real relationship.

But now the situation has changed. If he wants to gain a foothold in the Mediterranean in the future, he must deal with Rome, so he will definitely have more intersections with Irina, and she may even become one of the most important women in his life. , then in this case, Li Ke has to seriously consider the relationship between him and Irina.

Irina is the queen of Constans II, but Li Ke doesn't care much about this, what's more, he learned from Irina that Constans II is more interested in men than women. It's been a long time since I even touched her, which also added a kind of affection to Li Ke's feelings for Irina.In addition, Irina's careful care of him during this period of time made Li Ke feel the sincerity of the other party, so it seems reasonable to tell the other party his plan, at least Irina should be happy after hearing it. very happy.

However, Li Ke still hesitated in his heart, because if he told Irina about his plan, then she would definitely do her best to help him. In this way, Irina would become an important support for him among the Roman nobles. Although there is no danger to her life, it will have a certain impact on her status.

"Although Irina is a queen, the power behind her is not that great. She seems to be alone and alone. It seems that she needs to find a strong helper, so that even Constans II will not dare to take it easy. Move her!" Li Ke, who was closing his eyes and meditating, suddenly said softly, with a relaxed look on his face.Capital Datang 658

Just as Li Ke finished speaking, the curtain of the bathroom door was lifted by two beautiful female slaves, and then Irina walked in from outside, and she was only wearing a long gown made of light gauze, The slender beautiful legs and plump breasts were faintly visible in the gauze, especially after entering the bathroom, after being fumigated by water vapor, the gauze became more transparent, and any man would feel his blood boil when he saw it.

I saw Irina walking lightly to the side of the bath with bare feet, but when she saw Li Ke sitting there with her eyes closed, her face blushed slightly. Men take a bath together, so when they came in, they were very nervous.Although Li Ke didn't notice her now because he was thinking about things, it still made her a little shy. (to be continued...)
