Chapter 396
"I just think they are pitiful."
"The benevolent are invincible. If we make them no longer slaves, how do you think these Unsullied will repay us?"
The eyes of the Dragon Mother and the other two lit up,
"Then they will surely serve us to the death!"
The army prepared to set off.
Liu Bei had Jorah Mormont, who had been hanging around with them, brought over.
"Guards, seize him for me!"
Jorah Mormont was bewildered,
"Khal, Khaleesi, why are you arresting me? I've also led troops to win many victories these past few days."
Liu Bei sneered,
"Jorah, you are unworthy of being a descendant of the warriors of Bear Island, actually acting as a spy for the Spider!"
Jorah was shocked; the Khal actually knew about this!
"Drag him out and chop him up to feed the dogs!"
Drogon sneezed in frustration; why not feed the dragons? Baby dragons were also very hungry!
Jorah was terrified,
"Khal, I was sentenced to death by the Warden of the North, and working for Varys was only to obtain a pardon."
Daenerys interjected,
"Khal, Jorah has always done things for us earnestly, I think he was also forced into it."
Jorah was deeply moved,
"Yes, yes, the Khaleesi is right, I was forced!"
Liu Bei didn't really want to kill him either; this was one of the Dragon Mother's loyal subordinates, and appropriate discipline was indeed necessary.
"Tell us everything you know and the situation regarding your contact with Varys."
Jorah quickly told them everything.
The Dragon Mother frowned,
"Robert is truly shameless, actually finding assassins to try and kill me; I haven't even been to King's Landing!"
Liu Bei patted her hand,
"Daenerys, hegemony and restoring a kingdom are not just about slaughter on the battlefield; sometimes the planning behind the scenes is often even bloodier and darker."
The Dragon Mother murmured,
"Khal, without you, I really wouldn't know what to do."
Because of the Dragon Mother's intercession, Jorah survived, and his loyalty to the Dragon Mother (agfh) climbed straight up.
Moreover, from his observations over these many days, he found the Khal to be a man of great talent and bold vision, and he felt that one day, he would help Daenerys take back the Iron Throne.
He decided to follow the Dragon Mother to conquer the world and return to the West Continent as a hero!
Having turned this little mole,
Liu Bei announced the breaking of camp, and sixty thousand elites and one hundred thousand family members headed toward Slaver's Bay in a grand procession, while the rest of the Dothraki grazed on the grasslands and continued to develop.
The army set off and marched for half a month, not yet reaching the city of Astapor.
Liu Bei, however, encountered envoys from the city of Qarth.
Qarth was ruled by the Thirteen, a guild of merchants, and there were also warlocks among them.
They invited Liu Bei and the Khaleesi to visit their city and expressed interest in funding Liu Bei to build ships.
Liu Bei knew that the purpose of these people was actually just to steal the three dragons, but Liu Bei still readily agreed.
He let Song Yi and Reba continue to lead the main army toward Astapor.
He took the Dragon Mother, Jorah, and eight thousand elite cavalry and headed toward Qarth in a grand procession.
At the same time,
A great change occurred in King's Landing; the brutal King Robert was harmed by a conspiracy.
Stark was astonished to discover that Queen Cersei's two sons were not fathered by Robert.
Therefore,
He intended to support Robert's brother as king, but he was clearly not suited for this kind of insidious game of thrones.
Cersei's Lannister family struck first, capturing Stark and brutally purging his subordinates in King's Landing.
Cersei's eldest son, the perverted and spineless Joffrey Baratheon, succeeded to the throne as the new king.
Seeing the opportunity, and with the Stark family raising an army, the continent of Westeros fell into great chaos.
Ye Huang was very depressed; she thought highly of the loyal, kind, and knightly Ned Stark, but unfortunately, the cruel reality was that such people died early!
If Liu Bei were by Ye Huang's side, he would really want to remind her: where are we even at?
The tragic fate of the Wolf family had only just begun!
Crossing the Gobi,
Liu Bei led his army to Qarth, a giant city backed by the sea with prosperous trade.
The Dragon Mother frowned as she looked at the tightly closed city gates and the soldiers standing in battle array on the walls,
"Weren't they the ones who invited us to come?"
Jorah introduced,
"Khaleesi, in any city in the East Continent, as long as a Dothraki army approaches, they will inevitably close the city gates!"
The Dragon Mother snorted,
"My Khal doesn't know how civilized he is; he never loots!"
Jorah broke into a sweat, thinking to himself,
"Your Khal kills more ruthlessly than anyone else!"
At this moment, the city gates opened wide.
Two thousand infantrymen came out in a vigilant formation.
The Thirteen stepped out from the crowd.
A white fat man saluted,
"Respected Khal and Khaleesi!"
Liu Bei said in a deep voice,
"Were you the ones who invited us to come?"
The white fat man shook his head,
"In fact, it was him and the warlocks who invited you."
The white fat man pointed to the black fat man behind him.
Liu Bei suddenly laughed,
"You Thirteen are all quite fat, each one of you is rich enough to drip oil!"
Everyone's faces turned ugly; being praised for wealth by a Khal was not a good sign; perhaps tomorrow they would be looted clean!
Liu Bei waved his hand,
"Don't worry, we Dothraki now win people over with virtue; I only do business and don't loot."
"Win people over with virtue?"
Everyone shook their heads; they didn't believe a single word!
The black fat man saluted,
"Khal, we sincerely invited you here, it's just that you brought quite a few troops..."
Liu Bei recognized this fat man, who claimed to be the richest in Qarth, with a vault of wealth, but in reality, it was empty inside; he was also a master of pulling off a "white wolf with empty gloves"!
"I will only take five hundred personal guards into the city!"
What Liu Bei lacked now was money; with money, he could recruit sailors, build warships, and forge weapons. He was determined to get the wealth of Qarth.
