"Well, I have some secret things to say to Her Majesty, Prince Alene will stay, and the rest will go out first. Magic Mountain said.

Gomez Kao stood up: "Your Majesty, my Arak scimitar has been sharpened very quickly. I wish the war had started sooner. ”

Saneka Kao said: "Your Majesty, I wish to be the vanguard of the siege. ”

Amanka Kao stood up: "Your Majesty, you can consider digging a tunnel to enter Quells. As long as His Majesty orders it, I will do it tonight. ”

Moshan said: "I already have a plan, if I want to win the battle, I can't be in a hurry. ”

Jorah, Gray Worm, Hero and others did not say a word, obeyed the order, and walked out of the Chinese military tent.

Soon, there were three people left in the tent of the Chinese army: Magic Mountain, Arlene, and Daenerys.

Magic Mountain poured wine for the two ladies first, and then poured a glass for himself. He sat down unhurriedly and took a big sip of wine.

Daenerys and Alene had no intention of drinking, and both pairs of wonderful eyes were staring at the magic mountain.

Moshan smiled: "Take it easy, take a sip of wine, and relax." ”

"Your Majesty, what do you have to do?" said Arlene indifferently.

Daenerys pursed her lips, but the meaning in her eyes was the same as that of Arlene.

They all can't wait.

"If Boli wants to negotiate peace, then make peace with them. Magic Mountain raised his glass and motioned for the two ladies to raise their glasses as well.

But the two ladies didn't appreciate it.

"Fake peace?" Daenerys said, a look of suspicion in her eyes.

"Yes, hypothetical peace. ”

"I'm afraid I can't fool Boli. ”

"But it gives us time. ”

"What is Your Majesty going to do?" said Arlene, frowning. She hates anyone who doesn't speak harshly.

"Let's negotiate peace first, what if we can convince them to surrender?" said Magic Mountain.

"What do we want?" Daenerys asked, always on point.

"Negotiate with the king, not with the Buddha. At Quells, we're going to have a bachelor to be the administrative officer. ”

"Your Majesty, Quells has no Governor. ”

"Then arrange one. ”

"Okay, what else?"

"The heir of the king must go to Westeros to study for three years and be my squire. If the king has a daughter, he needs to marry the royal family of Westeros. ”

"Uh-huh. ”

"It is necessary to unify the currency, the text, and the unit of weight. Our Bachelor's Club will run a school in Quells, and the children of the royal family and nobility must be sent to the school to study Westeros. ”

"Oh!"

"In addition to the gifts of spices, ironware, serving, sour wine, rice, and wheat offered to the royal family of Westeros, a tax of one million gold coins was to be paid every year. The million-dollar tax was paid to the treasury and had nothing to do with the private wealth of the royal family. ”

Aliane interjected: "Your Majesty, they will bargain over the amount of taxes, it is better to collect a tax of two million gold coins, so that after bargaining, we can easily get a tax of one million gold coins." ”

"The tax of a million gold coins is not heavy for Quells Big City. Daenerys said.

"Yes. I don't have a strict tax system, and what I want to do most is, of course, the paper money program in the Cregan. It is more practical to establish a monetary system than to levy a million gold coins. "Magic Mountain has its own focus.

"Is there any condition?" Daenerys asked.

"In the event of war, Quells must unconditionally obey the call to send troops. ”

"Your Majesty, as long as you don't touch their royal power, I think the king will agree to that. ”

"Finally, there is one more, the fire sacrifice to the Bodhisattva Wizard. Magic Mountain said slowly.

"Fire Sacrifice Bodhisattva?" Daenerys and Arlene said in unison.

"Yes, the Dragon Yan Fire Sacrifice Bo Li. Quells can no longer have Boli. Tell the king to die and save everyone in Quells. ”

Daenerys and Arlene looked at each other.

After a long while, Daenerys said, "Your Majesty, Boli's prestige in Quells may be even higher than that of the king. ”

"Boli has no prestige in Quells, only fear and awe. No of the people would want to fight for the Bodhisattva, they were just afraid of his magic. ”

"How do you know for sure?"

"I'm pretty sure. There is a rumor among the lower people of Quells: under the Immortal Temple, countless lies and bones are buried. The people of Quells don't like immortal wizards, who are evil. In the era of the dragon's disappearance, in order to restore the power of magic, the wizards did too many cruel things, luring and killing many innocent women and children, just to refine the legendary 'Night Shadow Water'. The Nightshade Water can help them regain their magical powers, but it will cost human lives. The nobles and wealthy merchants were safe, but the common people and slaves were the targets of the immortal wizards. ”

Magic Mountain's words reminded both Daenerys and Alene of Melisandre.

For the sake of faith, Melisandre also made a living sacrifice to the Red God. Later, Melisandre herself had to admit that she had done a lot of things wrong.

"Your Majesty, Boli doesn't need to be loved by his people, he just needs the support of kings, nobles, wealthy merchants, the Thirteen Giants, the Tourmaline Brotherhood, the Regret Guest, and the Ancient Spice Guild. Arlene disagreed.

"Boli is the king in the eyes of the nobles, and he is also the demigod in the king's heart, but if the king and the thirteen giants want to keep Quells, they must hand over Boli, because I want him to die. ”

"What if they won't say yes?"

"Negotiate first, and then know the outcome. ”

"Where to negotiate?" Arrene was alarmed.

"Under the walls of the north gate, of course, within the range of our cavalry, but also within the range of the opposing archers. ”

The Magic Mountain will not go to the city of Quells to negotiate, and similarly, King Quells and the others will most likely not come to the military camp of the Dothraki people with peace of mind.

"Who's going to be the messenger?" Daenerys asked.

"You go with the dragon, let the black dragon Zhuo Geng hover over the palace, make an appointment, and inform the king to meet under the walls of the north gate to negotiate peace. ”

"Good!"

"However, the matter of peace also needs to be discussed by you, and neither I nor Alen will show up. ”

"Oh? Why?"

"Alen and I need to do something else. ”

"What's the matter?"

"You don't need to know the details for the time being, but I need to give an order to gather as many blacksmiths as possible. ”

"Then when will the negotiations begin?"

"Tomorrow's arrogance, agree on a specific time, and you will be responsible for this negotiation. ”

*

Early the next morning, Missandei got up, washed up, and took the maid into His Majesty's tent with the hot milk, and lifted the curtains, and the bed was empty, and the king was not seen.

It was the same when I went to Prince Arlen's tent.

Early in the morning, the king and Prince Arlen were gone.

When asked about the guards who guarded it, the guards all said they didn't know.

It's not that the guards don't know, it's that the king orders the guards not to talk nonsense.

The king's guards stayed up all night. When you are tired, someone will come to change shifts, and the tents of the king and prince need to be guarded all night, and they must not be sloppy.

Missandei went to Daenerys' tent and brought in hot water, hot milk, and baked bread.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty the King and Prince Arlen are not in the tent. ”

"Oh, they wake up so early. ”

"The dragon is gone. ”

"They rode out on dragons. Daenerys didn't care.

"I asked the guards, and they all said they didn't know. ”

Daenerys was stunned.

"Didn't the guards stay up all night guarding the king and prince when they went out?"

"Yes. I guess His Majesty the King told them not to talk nonsense. ”

Daenerys' open mouth didn't close for a while, and it took a while for her to return to normal: "Missandei, don't worry about Your Majesty, they have something very important to do." ”

"Does it have anything to do with yesterday's order to the Dothraki cavalry to go around and forcibly recruit blacksmiths?"

"I think so. ”

Daenerys remembered what the Magic Mountain had said to her when she was going to bed last night, and he had asked the king of Quells to select twenty of the best blacksmiths and twenty carts of iron ore to go out of the city as a sign of sincerity.

Daenerys didn't understand Moshan's proposal, but Moshan didn't explain it to her, only that Daenerys would naturally understand when the time came.

*

After breakfast, Daenerys rode on the black dragon Draugon, and with a soft click, Drogon flew into the sky and flew towards Quells City.

Quells City has two famous tall buildings, one belonging to the royal family and the other to the Temple of Immortality.

Daenerys rode the dragon high in the sky, on the ground, quiles had woken up, the sun was shining, and everywhere was brilliant colors.

Daenerys reached the sky above the royal family and slowly lowered her altitude.

On the ground, someone spotted the black dragon, and the sound of passwords and horns came and went. The gray canvas was lifted, and one by one dragon hunting crossbows were pushed out.

Click, click!

The sound of mechanical jams was crisp, the footsteps were chaotic, the soldiers were running around, and the centurion was shouting loudly.

The herald gallops into the palace and tells the king that Daenerys is riding the dragon.

Suddenly, a voice resounded in the sky: "Your Majesty, I am Daenerys Targaryen, I have come with no malice, not a declaration of war, not a declaration of war." ”

On the ground, captains, generals, and soldiers were still scrambling to load their crossbow arrows, find their positions, push their ballistas, and line up.

In the palace, the king, protected by the guards of the axe, was hiding in the basement through the layers of houses.

As soon as the dragon comes, as long as it breaks through the defense line of the dragon hunting crossbow, the palace will be hit by Long Yan. The royal rooms are densely packed, and if a few fires start, it will be devastating.

"Your Majesty, I have come to negotiate peace. Daenerys' voice continued to sound, the black dragon hovered in the sky, keeping a distance not high or low, Daenerys kept an eye on the situation below, and once someone fired a crossbow arrow, she didn't mind fighting back.

The captain of the guard rushed into the palace to deliver the message to the king.

It was a long time before the king, under the protection of the soldiers, came out and stood in the middle of a circle of dragon hunting crossbows.

Dozens of dragon hunting crossbows were aimed at the sky.

Daenerys was undaunted and slowly lowered the height of the black dragon.

Click, click, click!

The operator rotates the mechanical turntable, the head of the dragon hunting crossbow is slowly raised, and the soldiers push the ballista to find the right angle to aim at the black dragon.

Daenerys continued to lower the height.

The black dragon came within range of the dragon hunting crossbow, but Daenerys continued to descend calmly.

Low altitude, hovering.

"Your Majesty, if the three dragons suddenly attack the city walls, do you think the dragon hunting crossbow will be useful?"

"Your Majesty, we do not want war, but if you insist on attacking the city, we will win. ”

"You're going to be killed. ”

"Then try it. ”

"Your Majesty, if Quells can really win, will Master Boli take the initiative to ask for peace talks? Dragons can launch surprise attacks on windy nights, or in the middle of the night, and once attacked, the soldiers on the walls will only be asleep, even if the soldiers on duty are guarding in front of the dragon hunting crossbow, they will not have time to launch them. His Majesty the King has a dragon like a mountain, and the dragon only needs to flap its wings out of range of the dragon's crossbow to get closer, and a single fireball can wipe out all the soldiers on a section of the wall. ”

King Quells's heart was weak, cold sweat broke out in his palms, and he leaned back: "Your Majesty Queen Daenerys, you were once a distinguished guest of Quells, and we do not want to be your enemy, but if you must come to invade, the Quells will never give in." ”

"We didn't want to destroy the beautiful and rich Quells, so we decided to make peace. Your Majesty, would you like peace talks?"

"Peace is the best outcome for both of us, and I hope to meet His Majesty Gregor Clegane. "The king's level of speech is still extremely high.

"I would be happy to be this emissary, but before we make peace, His Majesty King Gregor wants His Majesty to send us twenty of the best blacksmiths, and twenty carts of iron ore. ”

"Oh? Why?"

"According to the ancient traditions and devout beliefs of His Majesty the King's House of Klegane, the sincerity before the peace talks is to receive blacksmiths and iron ore from the other side. Quells was the most remarkably rich and powerful city-state, so it required twenty blacksmiths and twenty carts of iron ore. When His Majesty sends the blacksmith and iron ore, we will begin formal peace talks. Regardless of whether the peace talks succeed or fail in the end, we will return the blacksmith and the iron ore. ”

The king groaned slightly, he had never heard of such terms for peace talks. It sounds novel, but it's also a little weird. In Quells, there is no shortage of ordinary craftsmen such as blacksmiths, and iron ore is the cheapest thing.

If the other party wants to be greedy and asks for twenty carts of spices, that is a distressing thing.

The king made a decision: "Your Majesty Queen Daenerys, tomorrow, you will receive my sincerity. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and goodbye. ”

Daenerys patted the black dragon's neck, and the black dragon pulled up and flew into the sky, merging with the blue sky and white clouds.

On the ground, kings and soldiers looked up at the sky, and the fear of dragons sprouted like seeds in their hearts.

Soon, Daenerys turned into a tiny black dot high in the sky.

His Majesty slowly withdrew his gaze: "Herald, go to the Immortal Temple quickly, and invite Master Boli to come here." ”
