#207 - Chapter 17 Goodbye Dany

In Qarth, Liu Yuan was enjoying a unique Qarthian song and dance, a fusion of tap dance, Konya whirling dance, and belly dance. Combined with soft and dynamic vocals, it felt like watching an Indian song and dance performance.

Liu Yuan quite liked it. Beside him, a handmaiden gently fanned him with a peacock feather fan, while a beautiful servant carefully removed the skins and pits from fruits, feeding him with a silver fork.

Sean entered and respectfully said, "I'm sorry to disturb your enjoyment, sir. Just now, Xaro Xhoan Daxos sent an invitation."

Liu Yuan: "Xaro, the one who took in Daenerys? He shouldn't know I'm here! So, he wants to invite you. Did he say what it's about?"

Sean shook his head: "He didn't say the reason, but Xaro has recently been in contact with many mercenary groups in the city. Many mercenaries have accepted his employment, probably wanting to build a force to help Daenerys."

Liu Yuan asked, "How many members of the Legion are in Qarth?"

Sean said, "About 230 people, mostly retired Unsullied. These people don't want to waste their remaining years in pain, so they chose the life of mercenaries."

Liu Yuan: "Everyone has their own ambitions, let them be. Daenerys won't agree to Xaro's conditions so easily. Xaro gathering such an armed force must have another purpose. Use my name directly to send out invitations. Tomorrow at noon, I want to have dinner with Daenerys."

Sean: "Yes, sir, I will arrange it immediately. What about Xaro's side?"

Liu Yuan: "You are the person in charge here, handle it yourself."

Within Liu Yuan's forces, there is a system of retiring after five years of service, whether they are purchased slaves or recruited subjects. During the five years of service, they will accumulate enough merit silver coins to redeem themselves and their families. The vast majority of them will choose to continue living in Liu Yuan's territory.

Some will transfer to professional soldiers, becoming professional soldiers or non-commissioned officers. The best of them will enter military academies for further study, becoming professional officers. Nine years is not short, enough to create a young and professional officer team.

Of course, some people go to the second line, undertaking outsourced mercenary tasks for the Legion. Such as escorting, exploring, protecting, and so on. The reputation of the Sun Moon Legion is quite good, and they have never actively betrayed their employers.

In Xaro's palace, leaders from various mercenary groups gathered, with more than 40 people present. Sean glanced around, and just these people alone had two to three thousand men under their command, which was a force not to be underestimated even in Qarth. The lord is right, this Xaro's ambitions must be great.

Xaro's dark face showed a bright smile. He raised his glass: "Welcome, leaders! Welcome to my palace, I think no one should not know me, right?"

"Hahaha~"

"Actually, I want to sign an employment agreement with everyone, and the content is not dangerous. In the next two months, I hope everyone can protect my safety. If there are enemies plotting against me, please help me eliminate them. Of course, don't worry. Everyone knows my financial resources, and the commission will definitely be the highest." Xaro continued, and servants sent the employment agreements to the leaders. It must be said that his reputation in Qarth is quite good, and many people signed on the spot. Sean thought for a while and also signed his name on the agreement. No matter what this Xaro wants to do, it will not have a big impact on his side.

When Xaro saw that the leaders were so cooperative, he snapped his fingers, and servants brought up boxes of Qarthian gold coins, as well as some beautiful female slaves. He said loudly: "Since that's the case, then everyone is one of us. Here is some advance payment, and each leader can take away two female slaves, they are all trained in Yunkai."

"Long live Xaro Xhoan Daxos!"

"Xaro Xhoan Daxos is generous!"

………………

On the other side, Daenerys came to the banquet with Jorah Mormont.

Daenerys was very curious about Garin. After all, his silver hair and purple eyes easily won her favor. What's more, there was a mutual attraction deep in her heart.

Daenerys had not seen Liu Yuan for two years, and she had dressed up specially. Ser Jorah, who was next to her, felt sour in his heart and whispered, "Khaleesi, this Garin is unclear, you should be careful of him."

Daenerys glanced at him: "Didn't you say that this Garin might be an acquaintance of yours?"

Jorah said: "I can't be sure if they are the same person. I stayed in the Disputed Lands for many years, and the power of the Sun Moon Legion there is very strong. The mercenary circle generally believes that they are the number one mercenary group on the mainland. Some well-meaning people have done statistics, and the total strength of the Sun Moon Legion is over 30,000."

Daenerys: "Isn't that better? If we can bring him into our camp, then there will be more hope for counterattacking Westeros."

Jorah shook his head: "It's not that simple, I heard that he had contact with your brother. But he never agreed, and your current situation..."

Daenerys said loudly: "I am the true Dragon Daughter, Viserys has nothing, and I have three dragons."

Jorah said worriedly: "If this Garin is the one I know, then it's too terrible. Garin has quietly built up such a force in Essos, his plan may be bigger than Xaro's."

Daenerys said indifferently: "So what? We'll know when we meet."

Arriving at the reception room, there was a Westerosi long table, with many foods that Daenerys was familiar with or had never seen before.

A clear voice sounded: "I guess you are not used to the Qartheen custom of sitting cross-legged, so I asked someone to arrange a long table. According to the customs of your hometown, you may feel more familiar." Liu Yuan walked out from behind the curtain, he raised his hand: "Please take a seat! Princess Daenerys, oh no, I should call you Khaleesi. And Ser Jorah, we haven't seen each other for many years."

Liu Yuan was wearing a wide light purple robe, with his hair tied in a bun, fixed with jade hairpins and a jade crown. He had an elegant and ethereal temperament, of course, Daenerys and the others couldn't understand this word.

After Jorah's surprise, he became nervous. He gently tugged Daenerys' robe, nodded to her, and winked. He whispered, "It's him! He is Garin Dayne, the knight personally knighted by Robert."

Liu Yuan smiled and said, "Ser Jorah Mormont, your attitude is not very friendly! Back then, we were both knighted by King Robert, and we fought side by side under Pyke. I heard in Winterfell that you were wanted by Duke Eddard for selling slaves. He was very angry at the time, and he was going to go to Bear Island to chop you up himself, but you ran very fast. Hahaha~ You should really see Eddard's stinky face at that time."
