Chapter Ninety-Four: The Dothraki
"No thanks." Li Yun shook his head and said calmly, "But you don't think you can keep me like this, do you?" β
"Of course not." Daenerys shook her head and looked at Li Yundao in a sincere tone, "I want to be your friend more than an ally who is tied by interests, but I don't know if you want to be my friend." β
"......" Li Yun was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Why?" β
"There are many reasons for this." Daenerys said calmly, "First of all, you are a traverser and know the plot, and secondly, your strength is amazing, and your origin is also mysterious, so you are a character who is not easy to mess with at first glance." β
"If I don't try to be friends with you for someone like you, will I still be your enemy?"
Daenerys spoke very calmly, and there was no shredging in her words.
She already has a general understanding of Li Yun's character, and sincerity is always the best weapon to deal with such a person.
Sure enough, hearing her blunt expression, Li Yun fell into deep thought, and nodded after a long time.
"You're honest, I appreciate you."
Daenerys smiled and couldn't wait to ask, "So are we friends now?" β
Li Yun shook his head: "Look at your performance." β
Daenerys was a little disappointed: "Okay, I'll try." β
That is, other people can't understand English, but if there is a third person who can speak English, when you hear the conversation between the two, you will definitely feel that something is wrong with the world.
But both of these parties took it for granted.
Li Yun groaned: "Do you really want to know my opinion? β
"That's right."
"Then don't marry King Ma."
"Why?"
"I'm sorry, I can't say."
ββ¦β¦ I understand. β
Daenerys nodded thoughtfully.
Li Yun raised his eyebrows: "What do you understand?" β
Daenerys smiled and said, "Of course it's your answer!" β
Li Yun frowned and said, "But I didn't say anything." β
Daenerys shook her head and said, "My grandfather in my previous life once said that sometimes, silence is also an answer. β
"......" Li Yun thought thoughtfully.
Daenerys whispered, "Tomorrow I'm going to attend Drogo Kao's banquet, and I'm going to meet him at the banquet, and then find a way to steal Governor Illyrio's dragon egg and leave here by boatβdo you want to come with me?" β
"Are you going to the feast or leaving here?"
"Both."
Li Yun thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes." β
Daenerys smiled.
β¦β¦
The next evening, the night grew dark.
Two servants walked out of the Doge's Palace with beautifully decorated oil lamps with pale blue glass covers.
In front of the door, there was a lavishly decorated sedan chair, and on each side there were seven or eight strong men carrying the sedan chair waiting with their hands down.
It wasn't long before Governor Illyrio appeared at the door with the Targaryen siblings, smiling and saying something.
Behind them, there were also more than a dozen soldiers wearing weapons, among them, except for Li Yun, who was disguised as a guard, the rest were the guards of the governor of Illyrio.
Before entering the sedan chair, Daenerys took a slow step, grabbed Li Yun's hand and asked one last question.
"For the sake of your safety and mine, I want to know how strong you really are."
ββ¦β¦ Do you know the Magic Mountain? β
"You know, the Seven Kingdoms are the most brutal and powerful knights."
"He's no match for me."
ββ¦β¦ I understand. β
Daenerys nodded, and finally sat down in the sedan chair with peace of mind.
With a shout, more than a dozen strong men lifted the sedan chair and walked towards Drogo Kao's dormitory.
In the sedan chair, Viserys frowned, kept glancing at the sword at Daenerys' waist, and finally couldn't help but speak.
"You're not going to bring your sword to the feast, are you?"
Daenerys said lightly, "Is there any problem?" β
Viserys was about to speak, but was stopped by Governor Illyrio laughing and raising his hand.
"It doesn't matter, the aesthetic of the Dothraki people is different from you and me, they don't like noble ladies, but it is a female swordsman with outstanding swordsmanship like the princess who is more likely to make them look up to them."
Speaking of this, Governor Illyrio paused, and glanced at Li Yun outside the sedan as if inadvertently.
"This is the warrior who defeated more than a dozen of my guards yesterday, and Her Royal Highness has already subdued him?"
ββ¦β¦β
Daenerys was noncommittal, instead changing the subject: "I heard that you prepared a wedding gift for me. β
The smile on Governor Illyrio's fat face remained unchanged, "Yes, but it won't be presented until the wedding day." β
Daenerys said seriously, "I want to see it in advance." β
Governor Illyrio shook his head, "I'm afraid not, my noble princess. β
Viserys sneered and muttered, "A woman is a woman after all, short-sighted, small-bellied, ......"
Before she could finish speaking, Daenerys frowned and stomped on Viserys' toes.
Viserys snorted in pain, covered his feet and said in a hurry: "Is there anything wrong with what I said, it's just a gift, no matter how valuable it is, it can't compare to the army of Dothraki, with an army, we can sweep through the entire territory of the Seven Kingdoms, regain the glory that belongs to the Targaryens, and when I sit on the Iron Throne again, I can give you any gift you want!" β
"Really?"
Daenerys sneered: "I'm afraid that by then, you have long forgotten that there is a sister on the other side of the Narrow Sea, right?" β
Governor Illyrio smiled and said, "How come, my noble princess, after all, you are the sister of Your Highness's mother's compatriots, blood is thicker than water, and when Your Highness sits on the Iron Throne, you will never forget you." β
"That's right!"
Viserys perked up, lifted the curtains, and looked at the dark night sky excitedly.
"When I return to Westeros with my army, the princes of the Seven Kingdoms will respond and follow their true kings, and the families of Greyjoy, Tyrell, and Dary hate the usurpers as much as I do, and the Dorne family in the South will be furious for revenge for Princess Elia and her children."
"Not to mention the common people, who will let out a righteous roar and fight for the true king!"
Governor Illyrio nodded with a smile: "That's right, Your Highness, they are all your people, and they love you very much, as far as I know, in the farms and villages in the Seven Kingdoms, the men will secretly toast to you every night, and the women will secretly sew the true dragon flag, waiting for the day when Your Highness will lead the army across the sea in the future......"
For Governor Illyrio's praise and brainwashing, Viserys is very useful.
Daenerys was moved on the surface, but on the inside, she was quite unimpressed.
No one knows better than she what is going on across the Narrow Sea, and the rule of House Baratheon, if not solid, is certainly much better than her cheap father, Aerys Targaryen, the Mad King.
Neither the nobles nor the common people will miss the days when the Mad King ruled.
Not to mention sewing the True Dragon Banner day and night, as Governor Illyrio said, waiting for the return of the Targaryens.
Outside the sedan car, Li Yun quietly listened to the conversation between Daenerys and the three, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
This feeling of watching an American drama up close and immersive is the first time he has experienced it.
I have been exhausted in the world of fast pursuit before, how can I be leisurely and comfortable now.
It turns out that this is how it feels to be a crossover with a plug-in......
Li Yun sighed in his heart, he finally understood why Lin Zhongtian and Zuo Yu were acting so cynically.
It wasn't long before Governor Illyrio's party arrived at Drogocao's bedchamber.
Perched on the edge of the bay, the dormitory is surrounded by nine towers and a towering brick wall covered with pale vines.
According to the Governor of Illyrio, the palace was a joint gift from the Doges of Pantos to Kao.
The palanquin stopped at the entrance of the dormitory, and a guard armed with a bronze spear and a spiked bronze helmet opened the sedan curtain, and his black eyes swept coldly over the three people in the palanquin, and paused on Daenerys's face.
Governor Illyrio said a few words in Dothraki, and the other man waved them in.
Li Yun stood at the front of the guard, looking at the guard thoughtfully.
"He's an innocent."
Daenerys appeared beside Li Yun at some point and explained in a low voice.
Li Yun suddenly realized and asked curiously: "Why is it different from the TV series?" β
Daenerys said softly: "Of course it's different, the service of the TV series should be considered beautiful, and it is not completely in accordance with the original book - let's not talk about this, tonight's banquet, the dignitaries of the entire free trade city-state will be present, you don't understand the language of this world, it is easy to be treated as a slave by them, so remember to follow me." β
Li Yun nodded and followed Daenerys into the palace.
Entering the hall, the air was filled with the aroma of pepper, cinnamon, and sweet lemons, and the guests came and went, most of them tall Dothraki people, with brown skin, beards tied up in metal rings, and long black and shiny hair hanging down from the back of their heads, turning into countless braids tied with silver bells, as if they had not been washed since birth.
As long as you get a little closer to them, you can smell a strange smell mixed with many complex ingredients.
Among them, there is the smell of sweat, the smell of beef and mutton, and the spices that are so greasy that they are obviously excessive......
Li Yun just didn't pay attention, so he frowned and quickly held his breath.
Daenerys was also pale, and couldn't help but whisper, "Thank you for your advice." β
The corners of Li Yun's mouth twitched, and he sighed: "It should be, no thanks." β
