Li Ke broke the little arm of his right hand, and strictly speaking, it cannot be called a fracture. It should be considered a relatively serious fracture, and his muscles are also severely strained. However, under the careful treatment of the imperial doctor, and he is young and strong, and his recovery 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 not being able to use too much force for the time being, it is no big deal to do some simple movements.

The weather in the Mediterranean is hot, so the Romans like to do the most is bathing. Moreover, in Rome, some people divide the life of Roman nobles into two things, namely, bathing in the morning and banquets in the afternoon. Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, bathing and banquets do take up a considerable amount of time for the Roman nobles.

If you want to take a bath, you naturally need a bathroom. Ordinary Romans would go to the public bathroom in the city. However, what Li Ke couldn't accept was that the public bathroom in the city was actually a mixed bath for men and women. Although he had never been in, I imagine that no matter whether men or women were bathing naked, the scene was really shocking.

However, ordinary noble families have their own private bathrooms. This private bathroom not only covers a large area, but is also very luxurious. It is usually built with good marble. Some places also have to be wrapped in gold and inlaid with gems. For example, the bathroom in the manor where Li Ke is located is an extremely luxurious bathroom.

In the hazy steam, Li Ke sat naked in a large bathhouse several feet long and wide, with his arms relaxed beside the pond. Not far in front of him, the little girl Kelis was swimming around the pond water, her breasts and round buttocks were looming in the clear pond water, looking like the legendary mermaid.

Ke Lisi swam in the pool for a while, maybe she felt a little tired. She swam beside Li Ke with her soft arms, then pulled Li Ke's right arm into her arms and gently massaged her. Although Li Ke's injury has recovered well, if she wants to recover completely, she must do some activities. In addition, massage also helps the muscle recovery.

"Well~" Li Ke closed his eyes and moaned comfortably. Speaking of which, the Roman nobles did enjoy it, especially the large bathhouse they built, which he had seen in Li Yan before. However, it was much smaller than the one he was in, and it was not as complete as this. Even during the rest of Li Ke in Rome, he felt a sense of joy. He believed that if his concentration was a little less, he might have fallen into Rome.

However, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Ke's mouth. A few days ago, he invited both Wang Fangyi and Cen Changqian, and then expressed his idea of ​​inserting into the Mediterranean while taking a bath. As a result, Cen Changqian and the others thought about it after hearing this. After a long time, they stood up suddenly and were amazed at the idea on the spot.

Next, the three began to discuss the feasibility of intervening in the Mediterranean, and the first was to choose a place for them to develop. The three quickly reached an agreement to choose the Iberian Peninsula where the Visigothic Kingdom is located.

The reason I chose here is firstly because the Iberian Peninsula is far enough from Rome, and is located at the east and west ends of the Mediterranean. Li Ke will not stimulate the Romans too much. In addition, this peninsula is also the largest among the three peninsulars on the northern coast of the Mediterranean, which guards the Strait of Gibraltar and connects the Mediterranean 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 didn't take it seriously. Although the other party was once glorious and defeated the Western Roman army, the Western Romans were at that time and had a hard time internal and external affairs, and the army had long been corrupt. It can be said that it was vulnerable at all. Any barbarian with some power could defeat them. The Visigoths were just one of the more powerful ones.

What's more, after so many years, the Visigoths had already merged with the local Roman nobles. Now among the nobles of the Visigoth kingdom, they were also degenerate like the Eastern Roman nobles he saw. Li Ke had full confidence in such an opponent, and did not even use the most elite Han firearms troops. Just give him a grassland cavalry and could sweep the entire Iberian Peninsula.

It is precisely because of this confidence that Li Ke quickly regarded the Iberian Peninsula as his own pocket. However, if he wanted to intervene in the Mediterranean region, he had to have a prerequisite, that is, the big cannibal cannot get stuck in his neck.

If Li Yan wants to gain a foothold in the Mediterranean, he must need support from the Tang Dynasty and Li Yan. If these manpower and material resources are to be transported over, they must pass through the Suez Canal controlled by the Great Cannibal. If the Great Cannibal interferes with it and these ships are prohibited from passing, then these ships can only go around from the southern end of Africa. This route is not only dangerous, but also takes several more months.

The way for the Great Cannibal to advance east was blocked by the Tang Dynasty. Couplets of the Four Kingdoms led to a brief peace between them and Rome, and the way to the north was also blocked. In this way, they were left with only two routes to advance westward into the Mediterranean and southward to occupy Africa. If Li Ke intervened in the Mediterranean, he would undoubtedly seize food from the mouth of the Great Cannibal.

Therefore, Li Ke, Cen Changqian and other three believed that if they really intervened in the Mediterranean, it would inevitably arouse hostility from the cannibals. However, there is no solution, but this solution is not something that Li Ke can do alone. It must rely on the strength of the Tang Dynasty, the Da Qi, and even the Tianzhu, and Li Ke must come forward in person. Therefore, the problem of the big food can be put aside first, and then discussed with Li Yan after he returns.

In addition to the cannibals, the only thing that Li Ke needs to pay attention to in the entire Mediterranean was naturally the only Romans left. Although he had tried his best to choose a place far away from Eastern Rome, as the traditional overlord of the Mediterranean, the incident of Li Ke entering the Mediterranean would definitely arouse the hostility of some Roman upper nobles. Although they still need to rely on the Tang Dynasty and dare not make too hostile reactions, they control the entire Mediterranean after all. If they use some means secretly, it will also cause a lot of trouble to Li Ke.

It is precisely because of this that after considering this, Cen Changqian suggested to Li Ke that he could tell Irina about this matter separately and get help from the other party. Cen Changqian had already seen this Roman queen very thoroughly. The other party was a woman who could do anything for love. In addition, Irina had no real feelings for Constance II, so if Li Ke confessed to the other party, he would probably get Irina's full help. After all, if Li Ke could gain a foothold in the Iberian Peninsula, then she would be much closer to Li Ke, and she might even be able to stay together forever in the future.

Li Ke, who was lying in the bathtub, thought of Cen Changqian's suggestion, but he felt a little conflicted. To be honest, Li Ke did not have much feelings for Irina before. At most, it was just a man's instinctive impulse to hunt for beauty. In addition, Irina is also the queen of Rome. This identity has the attraction to any man, and Li Ke is no exception.

Even Li Ke was just talking about playing. After all, he was just a passerby in Rome and would leave soon and might never come back. So he didn't mind here and having a short relationship with a beautiful and noble woman. However, this kind of relationship is at most physiological and cannot be considered a real relationship.

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

Irina is the queen of Constance II, but Li Ke doesn't care much about this, not to mention that he learned from Irina that Constance II's interest in men is far greater than that of women, and he hasn't even touched her for a long time, which also made Li Ke feel the other person's sincerity in his relationship with Irina. In addition, over the past period of time, Irina's careful care for him made Li Ke feel the other person's sincerity. It seems reasonable to tell the other person about his plan. At least Irina would be very happy after hearing this.

However, Li Ke was still a little hesitant, because if she told Irina about her plan, she would definitely do her best to help her. In this way, Irina would become an important helper for her among the Roman nobles. Although she would not be in danger of life, it would have a certain impact on her status.

"Although Irina is the queen, the power behind her is not very big. She really seems to be a little lonely. It seems that she needs to find a powerful helper for her, so that even Constance II dares not touch her easily!" Li Ke, who was closing his eyes and thinking, suddenly said softly, with a relaxed look on his face.

Just as Li Ke finished speaking, the curtains of the bathroom door were picked up by two beautiful female slaves. Irina walked out from outside and saw that she was only wearing a robe made of a light veil. Her slender legs and plump breasts were faintly visible in the light veil, especially after entering the bathroom, after being fumigated by water vapor, the light veil looked more transparent. Any man would feel a sense of enthusiasm when he saw it.
