Chapter 393
Liu Bei took the Dragon Mother back to the military camp.
"Khal!"
"Khal!"
His bravery had won the hearts of the tribal warriors.
Song Yi and Reba greeted them.
"Khal, Khaleesi!"
The two performed a mock salute.
Liu Bei nodded.
"How is it, is it okay to be a ten-thousand-man commander?"
Song Yi smiled.
"Reba fought ten just now, and the soldiers were already scared by her!"
Reba also said,
"Tiezi performed shooting from a hundred paces, which shocked those boys."
Liu Bei nodded.
"Keep working hard, I'm optimistic about you; Khaleesi and I are going to rest first."
The Dragon Mother's mouth twitched; resting again, she really couldn't bear the weight.
At noon the next day,
Liu Bei chose warriors from the camp to be his bloodriders.
He picked a hundred, and from among them, picked two outstanding ones to be bloodrider captains, Qotho and Haggo.
Just then,
a soldier came to report,
"Khal, the Khaleesi's brother is here to visit."
Liu Bei naturally knew what he was here for.
Inside the tent,
Viserys laughed,
"Honored Khal, my sister has married you. When will you lead your troops to attack King's Landing and help me take back the Iron Throne?"
Liu Bei burst into loud laughter,
"Are you sick in the head? When did I ever promise you that?"
Viserys?!
"Khal, you killed Khal Drogo and married my sister; naturally, you should inherit his dying wish."
Liu Bei ignored him and downed the fine wine in his hand in one gulp.
Viserys was enraged,
"I, the rightful King of the Seven Kingdoms, the son of the True Dragon, the heir to House Targaryen—as long as you help me take King's Landing, I can give you countless beauties!"
Viserys pointed at the Dragon Mother,
"You can have as many as you want, just like her!"
The Dragon Mother's expression turned sour; this brother of hers was truly a piece of work!
Liu Bei naturally stepped in to save face for his wife.
He stood up, reached into the central fire pit, and with his bare hands, plucked out a piece of glowing red charcoal and squeezed it in his palm.
Being immune to fire, he naturally feared none of this,
but everyone else was stunned.
Viserys exclaimed,
"You're actually not afraid of fire?!"
Liu Bei walked slowly toward him,
"I've heard that the sons of the True Dragon are all unafraid of fire. Now, let me see if your bloodline is pure."
Liu Bei suddenly grabbed Viserys's hand and shoved the glowing red charcoal into it!
"Sizzle~!"
The sound of flesh being scorched!
Viserys screamed in agony,
"Ah! Let go, quickly!"
Viserys fell to his knees, snot and tears streaming down his face!
Everyone in the tent shook their heads; this Viserys was truly pathetic!
The Dragon Mother looked at the two of them and sighed inwardly,
"Liu is simply far too strong!"
Viserys was carried out to have his wounds treated.
The other thousand-men and ten-thousand-men commanders admired Liu Bei even more; treating charcoal like a toy—he was absolutely ruthless!
The Dragon Mother leaned against Liu Bei and whispered,
"My Khal, why are you also not afraid of fire?"
Liu Bei flicked her dainty nose,
"My Khaleesi, you've exposed yourself again. What do you mean by 'also'? So, you aren't afraid of fire either, are you?"
The Dragon Mother?!
"My Khal, you are too cunning. My brother didn't know about this for over a decade, yet you confirmed it with just one sentence."
Liu Bei laughed,
"Hearing you say that, I am truly certain now."
The Dragon Mother was stunned; she truly could never keep up with her husband's schemes!
Liu Bei, however, began to toy with the three dragon eggs,
"Khaleesi, do you think we could hatch these dragon eggs?"
The Dragon Mother sighed,
"I wish we could, but unfortunately, they have already become fossilized."
Liu Bei smiled,
"Not necessarily. Perhaps they can be hatched."
The live-stream chat exploded.
Many netizens from other countries ranted wildly,
"Big-Eared Thief, haven't you woken up from your dream yet?"
"Hatching giant dragons? This is a hegemony game, do you think it's a fantasy novel?"
"Even novels wouldn't dare write that, yet he actually dares to think it."
"Exactly, isn't controlling forty thousand troops enough for you to be cocky? You still want to cheat? Hatch three dragons?!"
Song Yi and Reba didn't believe it either,
"The Captain is dreaming again."
Liu Bei didn't say anything more and continued to drink and chat with the newly appointed ten-thousand-men and thousand-men commanders. Everyone was now in awe of the new Khal's drinking capacity!
After everyone had drunk their fill and dispersed,
Song Yi and Reba slipped in,
"Captain, our army's grain supplies are running low, enough for only one month, and we don't have much wealth either."
Liu Bei was taken aback; he hadn't expected the Sea King to leave him such a mess,
"Don't worry. Isn't it just about getting money and grain? We'll borrow from the Pentos city-state; there are many wealthy merchants here."
Reba?
"Captain, you aren't planning to write IOUs, are you?"
"The Dothraki only know how to plunder, they don't know how to borrow..."
Liu Bei nodded,
"I intend to borrow, and I will make them borrow willingly."
Reba and Song Yi exchanged glances; the Captain was truly unfathomable, and they couldn't guess what Liu Bei was thinking at all.
The next afternoon,
When Liu Bei returned, he found the Dragon Mother's eyes were red.
A maid reported,
"Khal, the Khaleesi's brother came here, shouting and yelling, cursing the Khaleesi, and even slapped her!"
Liu Bei was furious; this brat could not be kept around.
Liu Bei pulled the Dragon Mother into his arms,
"That brother of yours is good for nothing but causing trouble."
The Dragon Mother guessed what Liu Bei was going to do. She felt a bit reluctant, yet also... in the end, she said nothing.
Liu Bei had his men send invitations to the Viceroys and wealthy merchants in the city,
asking them to come outside the city tonight to witness the birth of the True Dragons.
The Viceroy almost fell over laughing when he saw the invitation,
"This Khal is strong in martial arts, but his brain seems a bit broken. True Dragons? He wouldn't be using the three fossilized dragon eggs I gave him, would he..."
"He actually dares to think it!"
Many people shared this thought, but they all went to the appointment that night.
There was no choice; the Khal had many troops, and they couldn't afford to offend him. Besides, they might as well watch the show!
Outside the city, a detached house built of wood appeared.
Liu Bei stood outside and said to the city-state merchants who had come to observe,
"Gentlemen, tonight I will hatch three giant dragons with the Khaleesi. I will set this house on fire, and the burning flames will awaken the sleeping giant dragons, and we shall walk toward eternity together..."
The Viceroy and the others almost laughed until their stomachs hurt, thinking to themselves,
