#102 - Chapter 26 The Greedy Governor

Drogo! It sounds familiar. He's the future strongest Khal Drogo, the one with the dark circles who married Daenerys. What's the actor who played Aquaman called again? Jason or Arthur? He's lived too long, and he can't remember many things.

He turned his head and asked, "Philin, how is the matter I told you to handle going?"

Philin respectfully said, "Lord, I found the Setigar trading post in Pentos. There are still family members stationed there. I have already delivered your order to him to take back, and I have also sent two soldiers to protect him. I watched them board the ship and leave with my own eyes. Also, this is a letter from Lord Bandir for you."

Liu Yuan took the letter, opened it, and read it carefully. The report was very detailed, recounting matters from all sides during this period. The most recent notification was five days ago. However, Bandir's level isn't high enough to write such a report; it should be credited to the scribes he brought.

His return trip was quite smooth. With the arrangement of the Setigar family, the batch of craftsmen has smoothly arrived at his territory's economic city. General Manager Roddy has recruited a large number of vagrants. According to his requirements, they are first constructing city walls and residences. The progress of the project is very smooth. The workshops that moved there earlier have already resumed work. Currently, there is already a small amount of goods being produced.

Count Adrian was officially appointed as Minister of Finance by King Rob. It is said that Prime Minister Jon also values him highly. Relying on the family's foundation, he has firmly controlled the mint and financial affairs. The family's situation in King's Landing is quite smooth. Whether officially or in the underground, they are given a lot of respect. Under the suggestion of the commercial officer, they used those idle ships to make two trips to the North. The fleet reached as far as Eastwatch-by-the-Sea. The purpose is to open up trade routes for the family, at least to have preliminary contact with the Northern lords. Also attached was the information he investigated and collected on the Bolton family of the Dreadfort.

Also, the craftsmen he sent to Crab Island have decorated the castle anew. The Countess is quite fond of it and sent a message hoping that Liu Yuan would have time to go home and see it. Little Lyanna also misses him very much. Becotte was appointed as the tax officer of Blackwater Bay, but he spends most of his time on Crab Island accompanying the Countess. Lady Joryelle is also about to give birth. In addition, Lady Mia and Lady Joryelle are quite concerned about his marriage and have introduced some noble ladies from the North and the Reach, and have attached their information and simple portraits.

He twitched at the corner of his mouth as he read. He's being urged to marry, but this body is only 15 years old! He can go back to Crab Island to take a look in the future. There are indeed many acquaintances on the island: Little Lyanna, Old Park, Leo, Lyra, Barring... and Buma. It's been a long time since he offered a bouquet of flowers at her grave.

Bandir has also set up liaison stations in Lys and Myr on the west coast, and regular reports will be sent to all three locations at the same time. As soon as they receive Liu Yuan's order, they will immediately lead the team to meet him.

Seeing that Liu Yuan had finished reading the letter, Philin said again, "Lord, there is one thing I need to report to you. Several governors of Pentos, after receiving your letter, sent a special envoy who is waiting outside for your summons."

Liu Yuan said with interest, "Oh? The envoy of the governors, interesting. Let him in! Heh heh, it seems that Khal Bharbo and his khalasar are putting a lot of pressure on the governors of Pentos!"

"Hahaha~" Everyone burst into laughter. The battles along the way had brought them unparalleled confidence.

The first people to colonize Pentos were merchants, traders, sailors, and farmers. Only a few were of higher birth. For this reason, they did not particularly maintain their Valyrian bloodline and were more willing to intermarry with the local natives. As a result, many Pentos people have Andal blood. They are most closely related to the Westerosi, and with the frequent trade relations between the two sides, many people can speak the Common Tongue of Westeros. As soon as the envoy was brought up, he said very fluently in the Common Tongue, "Respectable Lord, Ubbis greets you! On behalf of the Pentos Council of Governors, I welcome your arrival! The application you submitted earlier has been approved by the council. You can bring your army to Pentos. However, your army can only be stationed outside the city, and you can lead some guards into the city. Please forgive us!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Liu Yuan's mouth: "Oh! Is that so? I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused to Pentos. If the governors are really embarrassed, we can actually go to the Disputed Lands."

Ubbis's face was bitter: "Lord, the governors have prepared a welcome banquet for you, and I hope you will definitely grace us with your presence."

Liu Yuan waved his hand: "Heh heh~ It seems that you do not have the authority to decide. Someone, send the envoy out. Go back and tell the governors that if they want to use me to deter the Dothraki, then show your sincerity! My patience is limited, and next time it is best to send someone who can make decisions."

Ubbis was about to say something, but two Unsullied grabbed him by one arm each and took him out. Misda asked in confusion, "Lord, I don't understand! Isn't our goal Pentos? Now that their governors have sent someone to invite us, why are we refusing?"

Liu Yuan smiled and said to the people around him, "Heh heh heh~ Misda has just walked out of the grassland and doesn't understand their tricks. Who among you understands and can explain it to him?"

Logistics Officer Mark opened his mouth: "Commander Misda, the reason why we came to Pentos is to use their ports and ships to return to Westeros. We even need the governors' permission to purchase enough supplies to maintain the legion's huge consumption. This is also the reason why Lord sent Commander Philin to inform them in advance, in order to avoid trouble. After all, Pentos is one of the nine free cities. But now the situation is different. Bharbo's khalasar is outside Pentos, and those governors have to pay a great price in order to exchange for peace. And our arrival will change this situation. The legion is fully capable of fighting against the Dothraki Horse King. Now the relationship between the two sides has changed, and it is the Pentos people who need us to put pressure on the Horse King so that they will pay less tribute."

Misda asked doubtfully: "But didn't the Pentos envoy come to invite us? And we must go there."

Mark patiently explained: "But the meaning of the Pentos envoy is that we should accept their supervision like ordinary mercenary groups. Once we accept their arrangements, we will directly face the pressure of Bharbo Khal. The greedy governors plan to let us work for them for free, whether the Dothraki feel the pressure and retreat, or we fight to the death with the Horse King, it is a great bargain for them! Therefore, the Lord sent the envoy away, asking Pentos to send someone with status to come and negotiate. If they want us to take action, they must give a satisfactory price."
