#210 - Chapter 20: The Battle of King's Landing (I)

Liu Yuan took in the beautiful scenery of the woman dressing up. In fact, he had already woken up, but he pretended to be asleep because he was afraid that Daenerys would feel embarrassed.

After Daenerys finished dressing, she turned around in front of the full-length glass mirror with satisfaction. Only then did she see Liu Yuan staring at her intently. Daenerys coughed a few times, "Ahem, you're awake. We both drank too much last night. You don't need to take it to heart. As for the aid you promised, please implement it as soon as possible." Then, without looking back, she fled in a hurry.

Liu Yuan laughed, a very happy laugh: "Hahaha, this is the first time I've met a woman who pretends not to know me after putting on a dress." Last night, he also felt a physical悸动. It should be due to the influence of the Dragonblood, his aura was irresistible to women like Daenerys. That feeling of perfect harmony was not bad!

Daenerys walked out of the building, her two blood riders, Aggo and Rakharo, were guarding the courtyard entrance. They looked as if they hadn't slept all night. Daenerys' face was a little red with shame, she was only concerned with her own pleasure.

The oldest, Aggo, gave her a way out: "Khaleesi, don't mind us, we actually haven't been here long. Khal Jhaqo is a great warrior, Drogo wasn't his opponent back then, and that was the only time he cut off his braid."

When they returned to Xaro's palace, Xaro was still waiting at the door, but his face didn't look too good. Fortunately, he was from the Summer Isles, and his dark, shiny skin made it difficult to see. He said, "Oh! Khaleesi, I heard you didn't come back last night, I was worried and was about to go out and look for you."

Daenerys said with a somewhat unnatural expression: "I met an old acquaintance. I had a few too many drinks last night, so I stayed there. Thank you for your concern, Xaro. I didn't sleep well last night. I want to go back and rest for a while. Goodbye."

Xaro watched her departing figure, his eyes flickering.

As soon as Daenerys left, Liu Yuan got up. Sean greeted him with a smile: "Master, did you sleep well last night?"

Liu Yuan picked up a fruit and threw it to him: "Stop talking nonsense! How was yesterday? Did Xaro say anything about his intentions?"

Hearing about serious matters, Sean also became serious: "You're right, this Xaro must have a problem. I've roughly calculated that the number of people he hired this time alone is more than three thousand. Counting his own guards and combat-ready sailors, the number exceeds seven thousand. Although Qarth is large, this is also a significant force."

Liu Yuan said indifferently: "At his level, what he seeks is nothing more than power and more wealth. My goal is the House of the Undying. If there's no conflict, then we'll leave each other alone."

Stone Mill, Robb returned to his camp in a fit of anger. He had only left for five days to attack the Crag, and his most important prisoner had been secretly released by his mother.

This behavior had already caused dissatisfaction among his vassals, and to some extent, it affected the morale of the Northern army. Robb questioned angrily: "Do you know what you're doing, Mother! Jaime is Tywin's most beloved son. Without him, the enemy will attack us without any scruples."

Catelyn: "I know what I'm doing. Now Winterfell has been occupied, your brother Bran's life or death is unknown, and Arya is also missing. Only Sansa is left in King's Landing. What kind of treatment will she receive? You are all flesh and blood of my flesh, and I can't bear the risk of losing you anymore. Jaime has sworn to me that as long as he returns, he will release Sansa."

Robb was speechless: "The Kingslayer has betrayed all the oaths he made before. You actually believe him. Guards! From now on, the Lady is not allowed to leave here. "He was no longer just someone's son, but the King in the North, and he had to give his men an explanation.

...........................

Banners fluttered on the walls of King's Landing, and Tyrion had already made deployments. The City Watch and the King's army together had more than thirteen thousand men. In fact, he could have recruited more, but there was no need. Those temporarily recruited civilians had questionable combat power and were basically useless against professional soldiers. Most importantly, they wasted food, weapons, and equipment.

Joffrey, on the other hand, was quite interested. He wore shining armor and a long sword at his waist. He patrolled the city walls under the protection of the Kingsguard, occasionally expressing his opinions.

Most people ignored the king's disruptive behavior. Tyrion rolled his eyes: "Dear nephew, can't you see that everyone is preparing for the upcoming siege? Stannis will arrive soon. What do you plan to do?"

Joffrey: "If my uncle Stannis lands in King's Landing, then I will ride a horse to greet him and sternly question his rebellious behavior."

Tyrion said in a somewhat sarcastic tone: "A very brave decision, Your Majesty. Rest assured, I will bring the army behind you to cheer you on!"

At this time, the capital was still somewhat chaotic. Bronn and Shagga led a part of the Gold Cloaks and the Mountain Clans to suppress the rebels in the city based on intelligence.

These people called themselves Stag Men, actually a group of wealthy merchants in King's Landing who named themselves after the Baratheon family's crowned stag. According to Varys's information, the Stag Men planned to betray Joffrey and attempt to help Stannis capture King's Landing.

The Stag Men secretly armed hundreds of people, originally planning to occupy the Old Gate after Stannis's army began to attack the city, allowing Stannis's army to enter King's Landing.

Unfortunately, the news leaked, and Tyrion immediately signed an arrest warrant for them. Bronn led the team to suppress these guys. All of them were Tyrion's direct subordinates. After all, the target of the raid was a group of wealthy merchants, which could also be used to gain some benefits for himself.

On Blackwater Bay, the fleet still loyal to the Red Keep monarchy patrolled. The Royal Fleet originally had a considerable size. Since suppressing the Greyjoy Rebellion, most of the ships had been withdrawn due to financial reasons. During Stannis's tenure as Master of Ships, there were still one hundred and fifty warships. Later, after Stannis left in anger, he took most of them, about 80, to Dragonstone. Over the years, only 50 warships remained that could still be used normally.

Knowing that Stannis was approaching King's Landing, Tyrion had ordered the complete closure of the Blackwater River port. All ships on both sides of the river were confiscated and driven away, and all residents living in the port area were relocated. Furthermore, all buildings within a 50-yard radius around the city gates facing the river were demolished or burned.

Baelish's efforts here over the years had all been in vain. Even after the war, the entire port area would not be able to recover to its former glory for at least five years.

"Doo doo ~ woo ~!" A melodious horn sounded over the Red Keep. Three consecutive sounds! Representing that enemies were invading from the sea.
