046: Legal

For as long as he can remember, no one has asked Daenerys for her opinion.

For as long as she can remember, everything she has had been arranged by someone else, whether it was her brother, or the Governor of Illyrio, or William. Sir Daley, or all the governors, lords, and business magnates of the wandering years, no one cared about Daenerys. In Targaryen's opinion, they always arrange everything on their own, and she is the marionette in their hands, dancing with their hearts, just like this marriage.

The elder brother only cared about how many troops he could get after selling her to this man, and whether he had a chance to return to the Seven Kingdoms to reclaim the Iron Throne. Illyrio may have had other purposes, but apparently the Doge didn't care what she thought. For a long time, Daenerys has also adapted to this kind of life, she may have an emotional reaction to the arrangements of others, she will be happy, she will be angry, she will be sad, she will cry, but in the end, she can only accept all the arrangements.

Just like this marriage.

And this time, right now, someone asked her opinion?

It was an experience like no one before, so Daenerys didn't know how to react for a moment.

"Hmm...... Uh-huh......" With a voice that she didn't even know what she meant, Daenerys looked in the direction of her brother Viserys in fear, she was worried that she had messed up, and if that happened, her brother Viserys would be angry again, and he would wake up the 'Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon'.

At this time, Viserys was also staring closely.

Of course, as the protagonist of this banquet, Liu Jian's every move was concerned by everyone at the banquet. It's not just Viserys, when Jian Liu sat down in front of Daenerys. All the Governors present, though they still talked to those around them about the recent changes in the situation. The territorial dispute between Pantos and Telosi, the impact of the turbulent situation on business, and even the possibility of a marriage to expand their power, even which family added a boy or which family added a girl. But the afterglow of their hearts and the corners of their eyes invariably moved to Daenerys and Liu Jian. It's just that unlike the stupid Viserys, they don't do anything that might anger the powerful Kao, so although they are concerned, they still only look at it from the corner of their eye. Daenerys didn't realize that she had essentially become the center of attention of the whole banquet.

Seeing her brother's eyes, Daenerys became more and more flustered.

"You don't need to care what they think."

Daenerys laughed when she saw the man in front of her, and he smiled so warmly: "Marriage is a matter between you and me, and no one else can make decisions except you and me." Though...... In fact, it is just a political marriage. ”

The man's gentle gaze and warm smile made Daenerys's heart steady a lot, and she lowered her head and put a hand on the little's head, feeling it lick her palm with her hot wet tongue.

"I ...... I do not know. ”

"Really?" The man nodded: "That's it...... It's okay too. ”

'That'...... Is it okay too? What does this mean? Daenerys couldn't understand it, but she could sense in the man's tone that he seemed to be distressed, and it was because of her.

So Daenerys became more and more flustered.

"I'm sorry."

"Why apologize?" The man asked curiously, "Did you do something wrong?" ”

Liu Jian looked at the flustered and restrained Daenerys and sighed with pity in his heart. This noble-born little girl did not enjoy many benefits after birth because of the royal blood flowing in her body, and this noble royal blood brought her more of an endless fear and fear, plus her brother. The tyrannical and timid Viserys who thought he was a real dragon. Targaryen influences. Finally developed her introverted and autistic personality.

When watching the TV series, Liu Jian always felt Daenerys's political strategy and military strategy. In any way, she is too naΓ―ve, and she will be attacked by the Harpy Banshee to the point where the regime is almost overthrown, and she herself is in a desperate situation, all because of her naivety.

But now that I think about it, to be honest, with her current personality, it is very rare to be able to grow to such a point in the near future, and it can be called an outstanding talent.

Liu Jian noticed that Daenerys's hands were tightly hugging the puppy lying on her lap, like an old hen protecting her chicks.

Come to think of it, this harmless newborn puppy is about the only life she can hug with confidence now.

"Did you name it?"

"Not yet."

"Then you should give it a name." Liu Jian smiled and said, "It seems that it can accompany you for a long, long time, you need to give it a name." ”

"She"

"What?"

"It's her, not it."

"Oh, it's nice to be a beautiful lady. So can you tell me the name of this beautiful lady, otherwise I may not be able to sleep all night. ”

"Lemon." This time Daenerys was a little louder.

"Lemon?" Liu Jian couldn't help laughing: "Ha, it's a very good name." ”

"Your Royal Highness, you see how happy they are chatting." "Trust me, Your Royal Highness the Prince, the Titankao will definitely like her very much."

"I don't care." Viserys' eyes burned with fanaticism, but he showed a look of disdain, "I only need the Titans' army, if his army is really as invincible as you say." ”

"I want you to guarantee His Royal Highness, but you may not be able to get the Titan's army." The previous sentence, Illyrio whispered in Viserys' ear. In the latter sentence, Illyrio buried it in his heart.

It has been nearly three hundred years since Aegon the Conqueror was crowned in Old Town, and it is estimated that even the Targaryens themselves cannot figure out how many Targaryens have been born and destroyed in these three hundred years. And how many can history remember, but there are only a few dozen, and history only remembers the Targaryens who can climb the dragon's back or ascend the Iron Throne. As for the rest of the mediocrity. Historical chroniclers who pity pen and ink don't even bother to write down their names on parchment.

Viserys may have a chance to leave his name in history, but Illyrio knows very well that Viserys will never leave his name in the name of King of the Seven Kingdoms, Lord of the Iron Throne, and ruler of Westeros. The name he can leave behind is best and best the queen of the Titankao. Daenerys' brother is nothing more than that.

His talents, and his character, have already doomed his future.

And all Illyrio has to do is to let history pass on after this dinner according to his own and the Titan's wishes.

While Illyrio was thinking this, Viserys suddenly cried out, with some anger: "Who is that man, and why did he go over there?" ”

Illyrio looked up in the direction Viserys was staring, let out a faint 'oh', and then said, "He's Jorah. Sir Mormont. ”

"He's a knight?" The name caught Viserys' attention.

"He's a knight who makes a fake." Illyrio smiled through his beard, "The knight who was once anointed with the Seven Holy Oils by the Bishop himself. ”

"And how did he get here?"

"For the trivial matter of ordering sesame mung beans." Illyrio said: "The 'usurper' has ordered him to be headed, and because he has sold a few captured poachers to the slave traders of Telosi without handing them over to the Night's Watch, he is going to take all the honor and life of a noble and loyal knight. This is really a ridiculous law. Everyone should have the right to dispose of his or her movable property. ”

"I'm going to talk to him after the banquet." Viserys Road. He was interested in this Jorah. Sir Mormont was somewhat interested, for he was an enemy of the Usurper, and as a thorn in the side of the Usurper, Viserys knew more or less that the enemy of his enemy could be his help. Since Jorah. Mormont is an enemy of the 'usurper', then of course he can be his own man.

And at this time, Jorah. Mormont came to Liu Jian and Daenerys, holding a small old book in his hand and apologizing for his gift: "Your Royal Highness, this little thing is really shabby, but I am banished and destitute. I can only afford this. ”

He placed in front of Daenerys the small stack of old books, the history of the Seven Kingdoms and legendary ballads written in the lingua franca.

"Thank you." Daenerys was full of gratitude to this person for accepting his gift, looking at this middle-aged man who was completely different from the people around him in terms of appearance and clothing, Daenerys couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me." Are you a subject of our country? ”

"I'm Jorah. Mormont, from Bear Island. He served many years under your father's throne, blessed by the seven gods. May I always serve by the right side of the true King. ”

"Jorah. Mormont? Liu Jian sat and looked at the middle-aged knight with an oblique gaze. He's quite old. He is about 40 years old, and his hair is gradually thinning. But the body is still strong. He was not dressed in silk and cotton clothes, but wool and leather, which proves that his financial situation may not be very good.

A dark green coat was embroidered with a black bear standing on its feet.

"I've heard your name." Look at Jorah. Mormont, Liu Jian said.

"I can't imagine that the great Titancao has heard the name of the next generation." Jorah. Mormont was a little surprised, like all those who interviewed Liu Jian for the first time, both surprised by Liu Jian's fluent lingua franca and Liu Jian's in-depth understanding of them.

"I've heard that you sold slaves to support your wife, and as a result, you were sold by Robert. Baratheon was sentenced to death or clothed in black. Liu Jian said lightly, of course he knew Jorah. Mormont, after all, both in the novel and in the TV series, Jorah. Mormont is a very heavy character. And Liu Jian is also quite interested in this person.

"I have to say that this law is very stupid, whether it is the death penalty for the slave trade, or the sending of a group of criminals to guard the Great Wall of Desperation." Look at Jorah. Mormont, Liu Jian said lightly: "But the law is the law, even if it is a stupid law." You can try to change the law, but you can't go against the law that is still in force with impunity, or order will be lost. Jorah. Sir Mormont, if you want to join me, you still have to pay for what you have done. Of course, I won't punish you with the laws of Westeros. Westero's laws have nothing to do with me, I'll use my laws. ”

Jorah. Mormont grew more and more surprised.

Dothraki, the law?

Is there any connection between these two terms?

Jorah. Mormont never knew.

But it's like Illyrio, Jorah. Mormont immediately realized that Liu Jian was an extraordinary Kao, and more importantly, from this powerful Kao, who made the entire Pantos governor impatient, seemed to have the intention of taking him in.

Glancing at Viserys, Jorah. Mormont immediately decided to seize this hard-won opportunity.

"I don't know how the great Titancao is going to punish me?"

"In my case, you are charged with dealing with the spoils of war without permission, and if you commit a crime for the first time and the circumstances are not serious, according to the law, you are to be sentenced to flogging and hard labor or exile and hard labor, and since you have chosen to be exiled, then you need to undergo two months of hard labor with me." Liu Jian said without hesitation, as if he had really formulated this law.

At the same time, Liu Jian also thought that he really needed a strict code of law with a simple and clear meaning that could be understood by the vast majority of people under his command. This can not only regulate the order under his command, but more importantly, it can convey his ideas and ideas, so that people with similar views and ideas can get closer to him, and at the same time, people with different views can be actively or passively reformed their thoughts.

That's right, it's important.

Just do it when you go back.

"Since you have chosen to be exiled from Bear Island to Pantos, you will need to serve two months of hard labor with me." Liu Jian swore as if he had really made this law: "Then I will forgive you, Jorah, the knight of Bear Island. Mormont, I'm very interested in everything Westeros, and I think you'll explain it to me when the time comes. ”

Two months of hard labor, which was very good for Jorah. Mormont was nothing, she had suffered so much pain and pain that two months of hard labor were just a drizzle.

Jorah. What Mormont values most is that Liu Jian is willing to use him.

Learn to become a literary and martial artist, and sell it to the emperor's family.

Although there is no such classic phrase in either Westeros or Essos, similar ideas and sayings are still circulating.

Jorah. Mormont felt that he was a great warrior and skilled in arranging troops and managing his territory, and he felt that he could make a name for himself anywhere, as long as someone wanted to use him.

As for who is using him, that is not very important.

He used to work for Robert. Baratheon served, and now he could also serve Titankao.

Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Jian knows Jora. Mormont would certainly have agreed to come down as a way to approach him.

Because he is not only Robert. In addition to the criminals pursued by Baratheon, he is also a spy sent by Varys to Essos to spy on intelligence activities, and a small bird of Varys.

"You are just and strict, great Titankao." As Liu Jian thought, Jorah. Mormont bowed his head in front of him and swore allegiance. (To be continued.) )
