Chapter 151

Daenerys quickly notices that something is wrong, as Drogon does not return her to the palace. Instead, he flew farther and farther, and even left Meereen.

Although Drogen has grown up, for the most part, he is still with the beast. It will save Daenerys and will even let her ride. But in essence, it is still impossible to communicate. Daenerys couldn't stop Dragon, she could only watch herself get farther and farther away from Meereen.

In Meereen City, a great battle has just come to an end. The whole of Meereen was wrapped in a bloody aura. On the originally bustling street, there is not a single vendor in sight. Only the Innocent who came and went, and the soldiers of the second regiment patrolled back and forth. Meereen has now begun a kind of absolute military control. Even the original residents did not dare to go out on the streets.

The entire royal palace of Meereen was even more depressing, almost maddening. As for the reason, there is no doubt that the queen of this palace is missing. Grey Bug and the others converge with the Unsullied Legion and defeat the Killer of the Harpy's Child of the Day. Thousands of people were killed on the spot, and hundreds were captured.

It stands to reason that the subsequent work is to follow the vine. Find the mastermind behind the scenes, and come to a complete purge. But now, everything is in vain, because the queen is gone.

"Impossible, we saw her dragon take her with our own eyes. How could it not have come back. Someone must be hiding something. I will have the second son group thoroughly inspect the entire palace. Dario seemed very irritable. As a close friend of Daenerys. He doesn't just think of Daenerys as his queen, he's an avid enthusiast. Thinking that at the beginning, he only saw Daenerys once, so he killed his two partners and took his second son to vote for his goddess.

And now, the goddess is gone. Dario only felt anger in his veins. Subconsciously, it's like cleaning up the entire palace and finding out who is lying inside.

"I agree, I can get the Unsullied to assist you." Not surprisingly, the Grey Worm had a similar idea to him. However, Xu Qing and Liu Qing obviously have different opinions.

"It's none of the people in the palace. We all know that. We all saw that day, and the direction in which the dragon flew with her was not the direction of the palace at all. So, it's not that the people in the palace are lying, it's that she didn't come back at all. ”

"But can't we just sit here and do nothing? The Queen is missing and we need to find her. Missandei on the side was even more anxious. She is both a master and a servant and a secret to Daenerys, and the eagerness in her heart is not enough for outsiders.

Seeing this, Xu Qing spoke.

"Alright, let's not panic. The queen will be fine. There was no doubt that there was a dragon following her, and nothing in the world could hurt her. We have more important things to do. ”

It's a pity that at this time, Missandei came weakly.

"Even if it's a dragon, isn't one killed?" As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the council chamber became tense again. Apparently many people think of the dead dragon in the Colosseum, Vicelion.

Xu Qing paused, and almost a magic lightning slashed Missandei. And Missandei also realized that she had said the wrong thing, and at this time to say such a frustrating thing was purely to infuriate the public. Seeing that everyone did not continue to speak, Xu Qing continued.

"We have two most important things to do right now. The first is to find the Queen. We know the general direction, and send a team of people to follow the direction and keep looking for it. Clues are always found in the end. The other one is Meereen. We need to stabilize the situation in Meereen. ”

"We have routed the rebels, and Meereen is now stable." The gray worm on the side spoke. , this fighter is top-notch, and the leader is not bad. But I really don't know anything about politics.

Xu Qing sighed and explained to him.

"First of all, Meereen is absolutely unstable. We routed the killer troops. But the mastermind behind the scenes is still unharmed. Ostensibly we won. But you have to know that once the news of the queen is no longer leaked out. We're losing. When the time comes, they will immediately bite back. When the time comes, it seems that it will be more than just those in the gladiatorial arena. The whole of Meereen will be affected by the flames of war. Even if we get the queen back, what's the point of giving her a city that has been burned down by war? ”

The gray worm is not stupid, and understands what Xu Qing means.

"The Legion of the Unsullied, held back by a large number of congested outcasts, has never been able to support us. It should be the handiwork of those people, and we now have some clues. I can do it right now and get rid of those traitors once and for all. ”

"It's not a matter of you not giving orders. You're a general, and you can't give such orders. Only the queen can decide? Do you understand? In fact, I already know that one of the Harpy Sons is one of Meereen's oldest families. But haven't you thought about what will happen if you take people to kill them all now? ”

"A bunch of traitors, why can't they be killed?"

"It's not that we can't kill, but if we want to completely clean up a family of that level, we need a lot of preparation. Do you know what status those ancient families hold in the city? Meereen is surrounded by a large area of desert, and there is not much farmland that can be cultivated.

But the city still has an endless supply of food, vegetables and fruits. We can drink the wine of Qingting here, do you think it all fell from the sky? Meereen is not the kind of city that can be self-sufficient, it operates on the trade routes of those ancient families, smuggling. They are hateful, but they do support an important part of the city.

If we hastily get rid of these families, more than half of all import and export trade will be quickly cut off. When the time comes, we will have no food, no vegetables and fruits, and we will not even have a place to put the huge number of slaves who have lost their masters. You think the queen has freed all the slaves, but I tell you. Those families secretly held at least 50,000 slaves. What should we do then?

The freedmen on the streets will also lose their jobs. Within ten days, people would starve to death in the city. In twenty days there will be a great famine. What to do then? Open warehouses and release grain, starve our Unsullied legions, and the second group, to save those slaves, or watch them die? By the way, they won't die. They will do everything they can to find food in the city. ”

Xu Qing's words worked. The entire chamber fell silent. I have to say that Daenerys's team is too weak. Both she and the people around her lack sufficient political wisdom. Originally, this link was made up by the little devil. But now, it is only up to Xu Qing to break them.

"So what should we do?" After a long time, Dario asked.

"I don't know?" Unexpectedly, Xu Qing neatly denied it.

"You don't know?" The people in the hall looked at her with a strange look that you didn't know how much to say.

"I really don't know? Being able to analyze these things is already my limit. This is the way of governing the country, and only a very small number of people in the entire Seven Kingdoms have this ability. Meereen's current situation is like a volcano that has expanded to the limit, and a slight tremor may trigger a catastrophe that will destroy the world. What we need to do now is to channel the power contained in the volcano little by little in the case of detonating the volcano. It's a complex and huge job. Only a handful of people in this world can do it. ”

"I have a candidate." At this time, a voice came in from outside. Everyone turned their heads to see that it was Sir Jorah limping.

He was covered in bandages, but he was doing well. This is thanks to Xu Qing's use of magic to heal most of his wounds. But excessive bleeding still requires rest. It's just that he somehow ran out alone now.

"I have a candidate, the one who is the best at doing this kind of thing."

"Tell me about it." Although Xu Qing had already guessed who he was going to talk about, he still asked more.

"Tyrion Lannister, nicknamed the Little Devil."

"Lannister, you know his surname is Lannister, and he dares to say such things. Don't you know that one of the Queen's greatest enemies is the Lannisters? Every day and night, she thought about feeding all the members of that family to her dragon. Missandei was a little emotional, she was the one who knew Daenerys' hatred best.

"No, it's not that simple. I caught him before coming back. Originally, it was intended to be dedicated to the queen. After all, he is Lannister's blood. But then I learned about the other side of the sea. He has broken away from the Lannisters. ”

"If he says to break away, he will break away, if it's a spy, what if it's a spy?"

"No, no one would make such a sacrifice in order to make a person a spy. Do you know what he did before he came here? He killed Tywin Lannister. I made a complete break with that family. In a sense, he is now the most hated person by the Lannisters. ”

There was silence again, apparently startled by the news just now. Then, Dario asked.

"I've heard of that guy. The most famous dwarf of the Seven Kingdoms. He is said to have been to all the prostitutes in King's Landing. But I have never heard of his superiority in managing the country. ”

"No, as far as I know, he served as Prime Minister of the Seven Nations. And it was appointed by Tywin Lannister. In a battle of King's Landing, he defeated Stannis Baratheon of Dragonstone. It can be said that he is very good both in governing the country and in leading the army. And now he is in absolute opposition to the Seven Kingdoms. We need someone who understands the Seven Kingdoms to work for us. "Sir Jorah is undoubtedly true love. Between the words, he always put himself and Daenerys aside.

"Well, even if what you say is true. Nor do we have the right to appoint a prime minister. Only the Queen has the right to do this. ”

Xu Qing on the side couldn't listen to it anymore.

"That's just a matter of procedure. But now the queen is gone, and we need him. As long as he can really stabilize the situation in this city, I am sure the queen will not blame us. Also, if we were to engage in such aimless discussions, the city would be paralyzed. So, make a decision, everybody. ”

Although Xu Qing and Liu Qing joined not long ago, the continuous accidents made the two of them out of the limelight. And the extraordinary power they showed before also made them undoubtedly occupy a place in Daenerys's inner circle. So what Xu Qing is talking about now still has a lot of weight.

"Well, I've never been a fan of the conventional. I hope this famous dwarf can surprise me a little. Dario was the first to agree, and then Missandei agreed. Grey Bug did not comment, but did not object.

"Sir Jorah, take us to him."

……………………

Tyrion felt out of luck. first had a bullshit incident in the Seven Kingdoms, which made his whole life almost boring. Then when they got to the other side of the sea, they would be kidnapped. Nu slaves who were sold into gladiatorial arenas. The most desperate thing is that the rulers of this city have a blood feud with the Lannisters. Tyrion felt like he might not have more than a few days to live. The most painful thing is that even in the last few days of his life, he can't drink Qingting's wine.

A squeaky sound sounded. The dilapidated door opened, and a familiar figure appeared in front of Tyrion.

"Well, I thought you were dead. You must know that the other day was a mess outside. I just had a riot in the city? Tyrion looked at Ser Jorah and didn't hesitate to complain. Only this time, in a rare way, Sir Jorah did not shut him up. Instead, he stepped aside, and Xu Qing and the gray worm walked out from behind.

"Tyrion Lannister, I have some questions for you."

Tyrion looked at the beautiful and non-mortal woman in front of him, and was a little surprised. The straightened young man behind her was clearly a high-ranking of the Unsullied. But now, it's really her who speaks. Apparently she is in charge. But it looks very different from the rumored Daenerys.

"You ask, if you're in a good mood, I'll tell."

"Hehe, interesting. Then listen up. The city is now on the verge of collapse. We now know that several of the oldest noble families in the city are plotting against the Queen. But these families controlled much of the city's trade, as well as the sources of various necessities. ”

"So you're wondering how to destroy those families without the city collapsing, right? No need to ask, impossible. ”

"Really? I thought you'd love this seemingly impossible question, right? ”

Tyrion glanced at Xu Qing, thought for a moment, and then said.

"The kind of family that is old with the city represents the order of the city in a sense. Maybe they're hiding a lot, but that doesn't mean they're less in control. You can't defeat them without breaking the order. Because they are order. Unless you are able to find a replacement. ”

"Let's talk about it in detail."

"Okay, but I need some wine." As soon as Tyrion finished speaking, Xu Qing took out a pot of Qingting wine from behind.

Tyrion took a puff, then let out a contented boo. He now roughly understood what these people were looking for him. So he sat down in a comfortable position and began to speak.

"It's going to take some decrees and some compromises from the Queen. Your queen has the Legion of the Unsullied, and the Second Son. It is said that he was also very popular with the freedmen and the freed slaves. This is a very good political foundation. With such a political foundation, there will inevitably be no shortage of refuge. I believe that even the nobles of Meereen can't all be the kind who want to fight the queen.

The distribution of benefits will never be fair. Since those ancient families occupy the lion's share. There must be new families who feel unfair about this. They do not have the strength to provoke the thousand-year-old order. But not necessarily if there is the support of the Queen. ”
