#228 - Chapter 2: Junlin is here to deliver food again

Liu Yuan clapped his hands: "Good! Your Majesty has ambition. Would you like to see the treasures of the owner of this place?" He held a golden pendant in his hand.

Daenerys smiled and took it, stroking the exquisite纹路 on it: "Seriously, I'm quite curious about what's in Xaro's vault. Now it's all ours."

Liu Yuan patted her翘臀: "Go put on your clothes! Let's go take a look together."

Daenerys jumped over: "Okay! Bring Xaro along, and that person who betrayed me."

Last night, Xaro's mansion was taken over by the black-armored soldiers. It hadn't been damaged, so after the battle, Liu Yuan brought people to live in it. No one in the mansion escaped, including Dorea, the maid who betrayed Daenerys. It's just that some things hadn't been dealt with yet, so he ignored her and threw them both into the dungeon.

Daenerys came to the underground vault again, this time as the owner. She tossed the pendant key to Jorah: "Ser Jorah, open it for me!"

Jorah studied the key for a while, inserted the key into the lock and gently turned it. As the mechanism inside moved, the huge metal door slowly opened. Jhogo and Rakharo stepped forward to help, and the three of them worked together to push the metal door open, revealing the dark vault.

Daenerys picked up a torch and walked forward. She turned her head and looked at Liu Yuan and asked, "Garon, aren't you coming with me?"

Liu Yuan shook his head and said, "Trust me, my dear Dany, there's really nothing to see in there."

Daenerys was noncommittal, holding the torch and walking into the vault. As Liu Yuan said, there was nothing to see inside. Besides a few works of art, there was very little gold and silver.

Daenerys walked out with a bad look on her face and kicked Liu Yuan's calf. "It's almost empty inside. Did you know that all along?"

Liu Yuan spread his hands helplessly: "I guessed it. Xaro is nominally the richest man, and his assets all come from trade. And he doesn't have any fixed assets. To put it bluntly, he's a speculator, doing whatever makes money. This time, he suddenly took out a large sum of money to recruit mercenaries, which is abnormal in itself. It should be that there was a big problem with his business. In order to protect his identity and status, he took the risk of attacking the other members of the Thirteen, using their property to make up for his losses, and also making a lot of money to multiply his assets several times. If he could trick you into his hands, then the dragons would also be his capital. Perhaps he really has a chance to usurp the power of Qarth."

Xaro and Dorea were escorted over by the warriors. Dorea knelt down as soon as she saw Daenerys. She pleaded: "Khaleesi, I'm sorry, this guy tempted me. He said you wouldn't be able to leave Qarth alive."

Daenerys didn't even look at her and ordered: "Get everything inside out." Then she came to Xaro and looked him up and down.

"Kneel down!" Aggo used the back of his knife to strike his leg. Xaro screamed in pain and fell to his knees. Tears came out of his eyes from the pain. If you want me to kneel, just say it directly, why hit me?

Daenerys: "This is your treasure! Thank you, Xaro Xhoan Daxos. I will always remember this name. Thank you for giving me a valuable lesson. Don't easily believe anyone's promises without seeing it with your own eyes. For the sake of you taking me in back then, I won't kill you. Lock them up."

Then she turned her head and left the cellar, ignoring the cries for mercy behind her. Liu Yuan waved to the crowd: "Don't just stand there like fools, carry out Khaleesi's orders."

——————————

Highgarden City Lord's Building, Sansa lazily got up from the bed. Lady, who was lying by the bed, ran to the side and took a set of clothes from the closet.

"Thank you, Lady. We'll go out and play in a while." Sansa rubbed Lady's furry wolf head. What made her happiest was seeing Lady again.

She had lived here for almost a month and had adapted to the life here. Of the Stark children, only Sansa was not Liu Yuan's student. But she knew many of Liu Yuan's subordinates. Liu Yuan's chief maid, Nina, had lived in Winterfell for six years, and she felt like a relative to Sansa, who was trapped.

The people of Highgarden treated her very well. Sansa could feel their kindness. During this time, she abandoned those restraints and began to imitate Nina and other female guards to practice martial arts and horseback riding. It must be said that Sansa is indeed a child of the Stark family, and she progressed very quickly, especially in her mastery of archery, and she could already ride and shoot.

Sansa, dressed in tight-fitting hunting clothes, led Lady to the restaurant. The gray-haired acting city lord, Rodrik, the smiling Ser Banndir, Grig, who was as strong as a small mountain, the infantry commander Bick, the beautiful Nina, and Yoren the Crow, who was wearing bandages. She greeted everyone politely. Liu Yuan's officials came from all over the world, with different races, different cultures, and different beliefs, so they didn't pay much attention to etiquette.

Sansa: "Lord Garon, is there any news? When are they coming back? I miss Rickon."

Banndir: "According to the news received earlier, they have already arrived in Qarth. The lord didn't say when he would be back. I have already passed on the news about Miss Sansa."

Yoren interjected: "Is there any news from the Wall? The Lannisters' attack on the Night's Watch cannot be let go."

Nina: "Maester Aemon received the letter. Lord Commander Mormont led the rangers out of the Wall. This matter can only be decided after he returns."

Yoren: "Then is there any news about Arya?"

Nina shook her head: "The last news was that she had left Harrenhal. Also, the one who attacked you, named Amory Lorch, is already dead in Harrenhal. He was assassinated, and it should be related to Arya. If I had known this, I should have brought her back when I was in King's Landing."

Sansa glanced at the three little wolves eating in the corner and said, "Seeing Nymeria acting normally, Arya should be very safe at the moment." Several of her siblings and her direwolves have some kind of spiritual connection.

Willis came in from outside with a piece of paper in his hand and came to Nina's side: "It was sent from King's Landing, and the news has been confirmed." Nina is still Liu Yuan's chief secretary, and the Jinyiwei's intelligence network is managed by her. Willis and these intelligence personnel are also directly responsible to her.

"This is your job. If you need our cooperation, just say it." Nina unfolded it and handed it to Commander Bick, who was on the side.

Bick took it and read it out: "Yesterday afternoon, Tywin convened a Privy Council, led by Lord Mace Tyrell, the Master of Ships, leading 15,000 Reachmen to attack Highgarden. They have already begun preparations before the expedition. Let's all talk about it, what are your opinions?"

Rodrik: "I am responsible for political affairs, and I am not in charge of fighting. You can do it yourself."

Banndir: "I am responsible for shipping, and this time I came back for vacation. I can't let this old guy go to the battlefield, can I?"

Nina said disdainfully: "Don't the idiots in the Red Keep know how to learn a lesson? What's there to discuss? 15,000 people attacking a strong city guarded by 23,000 people? They are tired of living. Miss Sansa, let's go horseback riding."
