Chapter 16: The Banquet (2-in-1)

Finally here, this is the legendary waiting for the rabbit, after Ma Shen retired the servant, he casually commanded Luo Kun, and then took the guards and couldn't wait to walk to the dock, planning to meet the live-action version of the dragon mother.

As for Daenerys's whereabouts, Ma Shen didn't know much about it, he only knew that Daenerys would definitely go to Astapor to buy the Unsullied, but he didn't know the specific time.

Therefore, Ma Shen could only let people keep an eye on the dock in advance, so that the people who were watching should pay attention to the fact that once they saw a beautiful woman and some Dothraki, they would hurry to inform themselves or Luo Kun.

However, after such a month, he did not get any news of Daenerys, which made Ma Shen think that he could not wait before sending troops to attack other slave city-states, but he did not expect that his luck was quite good.

After all, the Dragon Mother is too dangerous, in case she waits for her own troops to attack the other slave city-states, the Dragon Mother descends on Astapor, and then she discovers that there is an evil slave owner Ma Shen ruling the city-state.

You say that Ma Shen is not a slave owner, how is that possible, you see that those slaves are still being destroyed by that evil slave owner, and that the restoration of freedom in five years is all fake, for the sake of justice, for the sake of freedom, let's overthrow the evil rule of this slave owner, Ma Shen.

So in Astapore, the slaves who were originally in peace and full of hope to work for themselves will not hesitate to raise the banner and revolt under the inspiration of the aura of the protagonist of the dragon mother and the temptation to immediately restore their freedom.

As a result, when I finally attacked other slave city-states, I turned my head and looked, I wiped it, and my base was occupied.

The front and back are the slave army of the slave city-state, and the back is the rebel army of Astapor, which is completely sandwiched into a hamburger.

Don't say it's unlikely, anything is possible, and the protagonist's aura has always existed in a peculiar way.

On the docks, Daenerys did not know that the ruler of Astapor was coming towards her, and still whispered to the maids on the ship, "Look at the dragons and tell them not to come out." ”

"Yes, Kalishy. ”

Looking back at the irritable young dragons in the three large boxes, Daenerys asked Jorah with some uneasiness, "Are you sure the good lords won't snatch my dragon?"

"The good lords of Astapo put credibility first, they will trade at most to exchange your dragon, and will not snatch the dragon, so that if it is passed out, no one will trade again in the future. Jorah replied affirmatively.

"Alright, let's get off the boat. Daenerys breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a thriving city, the docks were full of trading ships, and the air was filled with the aroma of spices, just like Quills.

As soon as Daenerys reached the dock, she saw a group of guards with the Darkbird logo on their chests and a dock tax collector with the same Darkbird logo on their chests walking towards her.

Sewn tunics, short swords, spears, shields, and spiked helmets.

"These are the Unsullied. Jorah stood behind Daenerys and reminded in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Daenerys nodded, a smile on her face, and stood still as she watched the tax collector come to her.

Glancing at Daenerys in front of him, the tax collector's eyes showed a hint of amazement, but he didn't look at it much, and said rigorously with the notebook in his hand: "Hello, you need a silver deer to dock at the dock for one night, I don't know how many nights you need to dock, of course, if there are other currencies, I will also convert them for you." ”

"We needed to dock for three nights. Jorah pulled out three silver coins from her bosom, "Pay with silver deer." ”

"Okay. After the wharf tax collector had collected the three silver deer, he raised his hand and wrote down the number in his notebook with a pen, reminding, "Remember, this ship can only dock here for three days, and if it exceeds it, you need to pay for it." ”

"Got it. Jorah answered, and then asked in a tentative tone, "May I ask, this place seems to be different from what we've been here before, if I want to buy some Unsullied, I don't know... ”

"Bang!" the spear in the Unsullied's hand slammed into the ground, and they all looked at it with cold eyes.

"Are you slave traders?" the dock tax collector's eyes also showed a hint of anger, and he changed his previous kind attitude and said with a bad attitude, "I'm sorry, the ruler of Astapor, the respected and great Lord Ma Shen has ordered that the slave trade is not allowed in Astapor, and violators will be beheaded!"

"Attention!" the tax collector warned, and then ignored the slave trader, and turned away without hesitation.

The dock tax collector had been a slave without freedom a month earlier, but because he had read, had a flexible mind, and was more loyal to Ma Shen, he was pardoned by Ma Shen and assumed the duties of the dock tax collector.

Even so, the tax collector was disgusted with the slave traders.

"It looks like we've been misunderstood. Sensing the disgusted expressions of the passers-by, Daenerys sighed, not so angry, banning the slave trade was a good thing.

But then again, this Astapo ruler named Ma Shen has a name that is exactly the same as the wolf slayer of the Seven Kingdoms, strange and unique.

"I'm going to ask somebody, wait a minute, Kalixi. Jorah thought it would be better to inquire about the situation now, looked around, and then stepped aside to talk to a charity-eyed grandmother.

While Jorah was asking, Daenerys looked at the passers-by, these people were all kinds of people, there were merchants, there were cleanly dressed people, and there were also ragged coolies, but the problem was that even the coolies who carried the goods on the dock had some smiles on their faces at this time, and their eyes also revealed hope and light

These people don't seem to be the same as Jorah, Daenerys said to herself.

At this time, Jorah also inquired about the good news and came back: "Kalixi, I have inquired clearly, a month ago there was a person here who overthrew the rule of the good lords, so it has changed so much, and a few orders have been issued, which are posted on the bulletin board in front, we can go and take a look."

"No need to look at it. A heavy boy came.

Daenerys and Jorah quickly turned their heads to look, only to see a man with coordinated features and a straight back, and he was followed by many innocent people.

"It's Lord Ma Shen. ”

"Merciful and great Lord. ”

Seeing Ma Shen coming, all the pedestrians on the pier spontaneously fell to the ground one by one.

Jorah's heart instinctively tightened, and she hurriedly held the scabbard in front of Daenerys: "Who are you!"

"As you can see, I am the ruler of Astapor. “

Ma Shen said while carefully looking at the strange woman in front of him, under the sunlight, Daenerys's delicate and delicate posture and face, as well as stubborn eyes completely appeared in Ma Shen's eyes, showing a thrilling charm.

There was a strange feeling rising in his heart, like a muse lifting a thin veil, which made Ma Shen can't help but have some good feelings for the woman in front of him.

As soon as they met, they could make people feel good, and they had a charm aura, and they really did not deserve to be able to attract many ministers under the skirt, and the dragon mother who was called the mother by the slaves, Ma Shen took a deep breath and suppressed the good feeling in his heart.

"I am. . . Daenerys was about to introduce herself, but was interrupted by Ma Shen.

"I know that you are Daenerys Targaryen, the Stormborn, the Unburner, the Mother of Dragons, the Queen of the Andals, the Roynards, and the Ancestors, the Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, the Guardian of the Realm, and the Kharisi of the Grasslands. Ma Shen gracefully bowed, "I've been waiting for a long time, and I hope I have the honor to invite His Highness to my dinner." ”

How did this man know that I was coming to Astapor, someone must have told him, and the person who came was not good: "I originally thought that Astapo would hire some unsullied people, but I didn't expect that Lord Ma Shen had already liberated this ugly slave state, and in that case, I won't bother." “

Hearing this, Daenerys saw the Unsullied Ones surrounding her and Jorah and immediately moved the tip of her spear down slightly.

Jorah, who was standing in front, tightened his muscles, drew his sword with a "swish", and stared closely at the unsullied ones holding spears around him.

Daenerys shook her head sadly, she wanted to find an army and gain the power to control her own destiny, but she didn't expect to be controlled again as soon as she landed.

As if he hadn't seen the actions of the Unsullied, Ma Shen continued to invite: "Your Highness, don't live up to my wishes, it's better to see than to hear, I hope we can communicate more." ”

Seeing this, Daenerys could only thank the new ruler of Astapor in front of her: "Thank you very much." ”

"You're welcome. Ma Shen nodded gently, as if he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, look at me, I forgot it." ”

Ma Shen patted his head exaggeratedly, turned his head and shouted to the standing adjutant behind him, "Saran." “

"The subordinates are here. Saran stepped forward and replied.

"Call all the Dothraki who have left on the ship with this Kalissi, they are friends from afar. ”

"Yes!"

Daenerys's heart suddenly sank to the bottom

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。 Dividing line 。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

At night, Daenerys, dressed and dressed in a new dress, slowly walked into the hall.

In fact, during the day, Daenerys has been a little confused, and she has no idea what the ruler of Astapor wants, whether it is for her beauty or the three dragons that she has hidden.

When I walked into the hall, I didn't see the imaginary nobles, or well-dressed gentlemen and ladies, not like the banquet in Quells, but there was only a long table in the hall, on which a dozen people were seated, one of whom was Jorah.

Seeing Daenerys coming, Ma Shen, who was sitting in the main seat, slowly got up and introduced: "Let me introduce to you, this is Daenerys Targaryen, born of the storm, the Unburner, the Mother of Dragons, the Queen of the Andals, the Royna and the Ancestors, the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, the guardian of the whole realm, and Kalixi of the grasslands. “

After the introduction, Ma Shen politely invited: "Please take a seat, here are all your own people, don't be polite." “

"Thank you very much. Daenerys nodded and sat down from where Ma Shen had pointed.

The young envoy from Kaiyuan next to him greeted politely: "Hello, Your Highness"

"Hello. Daenerys replied.

Hearing the greetings of the two people, Ma Shen introduced with a smile: "This is the messenger of Kaiyuan, who is ordered by the Maven, that is, those slave owners, to send me back to Westeros. ”

"Hahaha. The people at the table burst out laughing.

Is it so funny, why do you vaguely feel like I have become a villain, Ma Shen looked at his subordinates who had been laughing a little speechlessly.

For Ma Shen's ridicule, the young envoy's face did not change.

However, at the dinner table, Daenerys heard Ma Shen's words, and asked strangely, "Westeros?"

"That's right, Miss Daenerys, it's your hometown. ”

"By the way, I haven't officially introduced you yet, my ancestor Earl Rashon Arazuka, Flame Master, Champion Knight, Wolf Slayer, Immortal, Child of Nature, came here a month from Westeros.

"Wolf slayer?" Daenerys asked in surprise, "Could it be the horseman who won the first martial arts competition?" ”

"That's right. Ma Shen nodded, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, "I don't know where Miss Daenerys came from my name?"

How could Quells Long Mother, who had been far away, know her name, could it be that her name had spread so far away.

Little Nasha said. "I didn't expect to be the strongest knight in the Seven Kingdoms who was praised by little Nasha as flawless, but Daenerys thought to herself, maybe this might be a way for her to leave the wolf slayer's side.

"Oh, so you met little Nasha in Quells?"

Ma Shen shook his wine glass without moving.

"Yes, we had a great conversation. ”

"That's good. Ma Shen nodded, and no longer asked Daenerys as he had imagined, but picked up a knife and fork to eat.

Cold-blooded fellow, Daenerys sighed and ate absentmindedly.

Ma Shen ate while communicating with Luo Kun about the situation in Astapo City in front of everyone

"Lord Ma Shen, who are you?" the young envoy finally couldn't sustain himself after listening to the exchange between Ma Shen and Luo Kun, and hurriedly asked.

"I want to send troops in five days. Ma Shen said lightly, "Attack Kaiyuan." ”

"No, Lord Ma Shen"

"Why not, let's hear it"

The young envoy stabilized his mind: "My lord, sending troops to attack Kaiyuan is not good for adults, first of all, you will send troops, Slave Bay is not only Kaiyuan is a slave city-state, in addition, war is not as good as peace, the Maven intend to maintain a good relationship with adults, war will only destroy the peace of Slave Bay for hundreds of years."

"Is that all?

"The peace of the slave owners at that time, and not the peace of others, let the messenger go and stay in the room. ”

Ma Shen waved his hand impatiently, and the two innocent people stepped forward to pull out the young messenger who kept shouting, and wanted to wait for a few more days, but just after receiving the news from the bearded captain, Ma Shen immediately changed his mind, and the opportunity must not be lost, and the time will not come.
