"My lord, do you really plan to trade your territory, wealth, and army for the title of husband of the so-called queen?" Daenerys and Oberon had just left with their front feet, and Blanco immediately came out of the corner with his hind feet and asked with a worried expression.

As one of the vested interests, and a new aristocrat who has stepped into the center of power, he does not want the good life he has just begun to be ruined, let alone a new allegiance.

With so many years of experience and experience, he believed that there would be no second lord in the whole world who was as generous, generous, and did not mind sharing wealth and power as Zhang Cheng.

In fact, through war and plunder, the mercenaries who chose to offer their loyalty oath have already made a large windfall, whether it is the previous purge of Liangshui City and the surrounding areas, or the large amount of gold, silver, jewelry and goods recovered from the Iron Min, about one-fifth of them have been rewarded.

If there is any nobleman's vassal in the Seven Kingdoms who is the most loyal, it is definitely them.

The reason is very simple, for the mercenaries who lick the blood and struggle to survive, the hypocritical ethics and morality of the old nobles are complete bullshit, and their inner thoughts are very simple, whoever can bring benefits to themselves, they will work for whom.

Obviously, in the entire Westeros continent, there must be no one more generous than Zhang Cheng.

You must know that no matter how much treasure he gets, he can only take a very small part of it with him at most, and instead of carrying precious metals of varying colors, it is better to bring more magical items and special materials.

As for those who can't be taken away, they will naturally be scattered out in large quantities, anyway, sooner or later, these money will have to be cheap to outsiders, so it is better to take them out to buy people's hearts.

Looking at the old mercenary's dark eyes, Zhang Cheng curled the corners of his mouth and asked rhetorically in a smiling tone: "What, are you questioning the decision I made, or do you think that your interests will be harmed in this transaction?"

"No! Of course not! I just don't think it's worth it for you. Perhaps Daenerys does possess the inhuman beauty of House Targaryen, as well as the temperament that makes men excited, but it is far from necessary to dominate the Riverbend region, and it is tempting to build a large family that can be passed down for thousands of years. I don't understand, why you, who have never been interested in women, are suddenly willing to make such a big sacrifice for her?" Blanco said cautiously, for fear of touching a bottom line that should not be touched.

"Sacrifice? Do you understand the decision I made? No, Blanco, I didn't sacrifice anything. Zhang Cheng slowly stood up, and there was a deep light in his eyes. "The wealth, titles, and realms that may seem worthy of your life's worth fighting for are nothing in my eyes, but only incidental to the acquisition of knowledge and power. If I could trade these collateral items for the former, I wouldn't hesitate for the slightest. Remember, don't try to measure my actions against your values, and don't try to interfere with my decisions, or you know what to expect......"

After hearing this, he didn't know whether it was a warning or a threat, Blanco subconsciously shuddered, and hurriedly lowered his head and explained: "Please don't get me wrong, my lord, I didn't mean that, but I'm a little unsure if Daenerys Targaryen can become a qualified ruler." You know, the nobles don't look down on us mercenaries at all, they think we are vulgar, loyal, mercenary, and if she is affected, we will inevitably be ostracized and isolated, and if we don't do it, we will lose our hard-won territory and title......"

"So it's not me you're worried about, it's your own interests, right?" Zhang Cheng was tired of the old mercenary's roundabout way of speaking, and directly interrupted.

"Yes!" Blanco nodded without trying to deny it.

He never felt that it was difficult to talk about interests, especially at this critical moment, and the rights, status, and wealth that he had not easily obtained would be lost again.

There is no doubt that everyone likes to lose and regain, and there is absolutely no one who likes to regain and lose.

Zhang Cheng tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and after about a minute or two, he suddenly raised his head and asked inexplicably, "Have you heard of the Stark family's ethnic language?"

"What?" said a look of astonishment on the old mercenary's face.

"The language of the Stark family!" Zhang Cheng quickly repeated.

"Winter is coming. Although Blanco didn't understand what the topic he had just talked about had to do with it, he gave the answer.

After all, as one of the oldest and most powerful families in the Seven Kingdoms, few people would not know Stark's ethnic language.

"Yes! Winter is coming. But do you understand the meaning of this sentence?" Zhang Chengyi asked again.

"I ...... I don't know......" Blanco hesitated for a moment, then quickly shook his head.

In fact, since it's been so long since the last invasion of the Wraiths, not to mention outsiders, even the direct members of the Stark family don't remember what "Winter is coming" means, and many even believe that it refers to the threat posed by the wildlings living north of the Wall.

"Yes, you don't know, that's why you care about that personal gain or loss. When you understand the true meaning of the approaching winter, you will find that all the territory, wealth, and title are not as important as your own life. Let me tell you, the real threat to this land has never come from humans themselves, but from the extremely cold places north of the Great Wall. As he spoke, Zhang Cheng picked up a dragon crystal dagger placed on the table and handed it to the other party. "Give, take. Trust me, it won't be long before you're ready to use it. ”

Feeling the coldness of the obsidian in my palm, Blanco completely fell into an inexplicable panic.

According to his experience, this young man with a mysterious origin in front of him must not say such strange things for no reason, there must be something terrible about to invade the continent of Westeros, they are more than ten times more terrifying than the guy who claims to be the dragon king.

"Alright, don't stand dumbfounded, go and see where our guests are. You know, I can't wait to try the power of the Tower, if it can bury an army of 100,000 people at once. Zhang Cheng waved his right hand, interrupting the old mercenary's thoughts.

The latter awoke suddenly, turned around and disappeared at the end of the hallway without saying a word.

Looking at his slightly old back, Zhang Cheng said to himself regretfully: "Strange ghosts, what an interesting lifeform." It's a pity that I don't have enough time, otherwise I have to find out if this mysterious species is elementalizing its body, or if it is using death energy. But it doesn't matter, you can come back and see it when you have a chance in the future, and by the way, you can deal with the dragon sealed under the Valyrian ruins......"
