"I just feel 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.

"That must be serving us to the death!"

The army prepared to set off.

Liu Bei had someone find Jorah Mormont, who had been hanging around with them.

"Guards, seize him for me!"

Jorah Mormont was full of confusion.

"Khaleesi, Khaleesi, why are you arresting me? I have 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 Khaleesi actually knew about this!

"Drag him out and chop him into pieces to feed the dogs!"

Drogon sneezed in frustration. Why not feed the dragons? Baby dragons were also very hungry!

Jorah was terrified.

"Khaleesi, I was sentenced to death by the Warden of the North, and working for Varys was just to obtain a pardon."

Daenerys interjected,

"Khaleesi, Jorah has always helped us do things earnestly. I think he was also forced into it."

Jorah was moved to tears.

"Yes, yes, Khaleesi is right, I was forced!"

Liu Bei didn't really want to kill him either; this counted as one of the Dragon Mother's loyal subordinates, and appropriate discipline was indeed necessary.

"Tell us everything you know and the situation of your contact with Varys."

Jorah soon told them everything.

The Dragon Mother frowned.

"Robert is truly shameless, actually finding assassins to try to kill me. I haven't even been to King's Landing!"

Liu Bei patted her hand.

"Daenerys, hegemony and restoring a country are not just about slaughter on the battlefield. Sometimes, behind-the-scenes plotting is often even bloodier and darker."

The Dragon Mother murmured,

"Khaleesi, 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 soared.

Moreover, from his observations over these many days, he found the Khaleesi 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 in the future!

Having turned this little mole,

Liu Bei announced the breaking of camp. Sixty thousand elites and one hundred thousand family members marched toward Slaver's Bay, while the rest of the Dothraki grazed on the grasslands and continued to develop.

The army set off and marched for half a month. Before they reached the city of Astapor,

Liu Bei encountered the envoys of the city of Qarth.

The city of Qarth was ruled by the Thirteen of the merchant guild, 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 to steal the three dragons, but Liu Bei still readily agreed.

He had Song Yi and Reba continue to lead the main army toward Astapor.

He took the Dragon Mother, Jorah, and eight thousand elite cavalry and marched toward Qarth.

At the same time,

a huge 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, arrested Stark, and cruelly purged 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, Robert's two brothers, along with the Stark family's uprising, plunged the continent of Westeros into huge chaos.

Ye Huang was very depressed. She thought highly of the loyal, kind, and chivalrous Ned Stark, but unfortunately, the cruel reality was that such people died very 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 waiting in full battle array on the walls.

"Didn't they want to invite us to come?"

Jorah introduced,

"Khaleesi, in any city in the East Continent, as long as the Dothraki army arrives, the city gates will inevitably be closed!"

The Dragon Mother hummed.

"My Khaleesi doesn't know how civilized we are; we never plunder!"

Jorah broke out in a cold sweat and thought to himself,

"The Khaleesi you have is more ruthless than anyone else when he starts killing!"

At this moment, the city gates opened wide.

Two thousand infantrymen marched out in a vigilant formation.

The Thirteen stepped out from the crowd.

A white fat man saluted.

"Respected Khaleesi and Khaleesi!"

Liu Bei said in a deep voice,

"Are you the one who invited us to come?"

The white fat man shook his head.

"In fact, it was he and the warlocks who invited you."

The white fat man pointed at 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 expression became ugly. Being praised as wealthy by a Khaleesi was not a good omen. Perhaps tomorrow they would be robbed of everything!

Liu Bei waved his hand.

"Don't worry, we Dothraki now convince people with virtue; I only do business and don't plunder."

"Convince people with virtue?"

Everyone shook their heads; they didn't believe a single word!

The black fat man saluted.

"Khaleesi, we sincerely invited you to come, it's just that you brought a few too many troops..."

Liu Bei recognized this fat man, who was known as the richest man in Qarth, possessing a vault of wealth, but in reality, it was empty inside. He was also a master of getting something for nothing!

"I will just bring 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 obtain the wealth of Qarth. ===== CHAPTER 697 =====
