101 The Judgment of the Seven Sons (24)

Although it is a bit wonderful, in fact, relying on the long hearing, Renli can distinguish the frequency and characteristics of a person's footsteps, and then discover many problems.

For example, now, when he is riding a horse on the crowded street, he can vaguely hear a powerful but not hidden sound of footsteps hanging behind him. No matter where he goes or even deliberately moves towards a remote place, the sound has not disappeared.

This made Lan Li quickly determine something, so when he passed by a dirty alley road, he rode his horse and plunged in. Then he sat upside down on his horse's back, picked up the short bow on the horse bag and put an arrow on it, and silently aimed at the exit of the alley road at the tip.

Before he could wait, a tall figure in a black cloak turned in from the corner, and then he saw the bow and arrow pointing to him in the depths of the alley.

The visitor was shocked at this, but he didn't look panic. The face covered under the hood of the cloak was faintly visible, and a black beard on his chin was very obvious.

"Knight with a bow?" said a calm voice, but his footsteps did not approach again. Obviously, if something was wrong, he would probably go directly along the exit behind him.

"Why follow me?"

Lan Li asked, looking at the hazy face under the hood, feeling very strange.

"I guess there must be a reason." The other party replied, as if he wanted to liven up the atmosphere, his tone was a little humorous.

"Mind of putting your bow down first? Lemon Jazz, it made me feel a little uncomfortable."

"If you let it go, it may be that I feel uncomfortable." Lan Li responded coldly: "Speak quickly, my patience is limited."

"You don't look like an impulsive knight." The other party said this, but seeing that Renli's bowstring tightened a little, he hurriedly took a step back.

"Okay OK, I'll say it now, but are you sure you want to be here?"

“I think it’s pretty good here.”

Lan Li understood the meaning of his words, but was unmoved.

His sensitive ears can make him hear many noises around him, so although the other party may have something to ask him for confidentiality, he does not think that someone eavesdropping on him but cannot find it.

What's more, he doesn't trust this stranger.

"If you persist." The other party hesitated for a moment when he heard this, then took a few steps forward, and under Lanley's vigilant gaze, he whispered: "My name is Raymont, Raymont Baratheon."

Baratheon?

The familiar surname made Lan Li squint unconsciously, but then he reacted.

Raymont Baratheon.

He has heard of this name in historical materials and recently. He is a member of the Baratheon family in the current era, one of the King's Royal Guards of King Inis, and when the Red Fort was infiltrated by members of the crazy poor gathering, he bravely saved the king's life.

Of course that is the original history. In the current history, it is not the king himself who was assassinated, but one of his sons. At the same time, it is not known whether this person rescued him.

"You have something to ask me?" Despite this question, Renli had already expected what he would say before speaking.

Sure enough, the first sentence the other party said was about his attendant "Igo".

"I know Prince Jehris is hidden by you."

"What did you say?" Lan Li asked pretended to be puzzled.

He was not sure that this was really the Kingsguard Raymont Baratheon, so he would not admit it directly.

Seeing this, the other party was not concerned and said to himself: "I found out about the little prince from two beggars, and I investigated it in King's Land for a long time. Finally, it was you, Sir Lemon, the illegitimate son of the Osgray family in the river bayland, the man who took Prince Jehris away."

He said, his beard trembling, as if he was smiling.

"What I said is correct?"

"So you are going to snatch him from me?" Lanli asked back.

The other party was stunned when he heard this, and then he was stunned.

"You admit it now?"

"I have no reason not to admit it." Lan Li replied frankly: "Especially, you seem to be sure that I did it, so why should you still make a quibble?"

This made Baratheon surprised, but he did not hesitate. Seeing that Renli was still pointing at him with a bow and arrow, he spoke, "There is no news about the little prince from the church, so I guess you didn't hand him over to the church at all, but hid him. What is your purpose?"

"Purpose..."

After hearing this, Lan Li thought about it and said, "A dragon egg?"

If he wants to tell the truth, the other party will not believe it at all, and it is obviously not a reason to be a bad person for no reason. Therefore, it is much more reasonable to install a covetous dragon egg, and it would be a good thing if he could get a dragon egg.

This is the same nature as the last time he fooled Reness.

These words made the other party silent for a moment, but when he spoke again, he seemed to relax a lot.

"Okay, I understand that if you say that, but I can't agree to your request for your Majesty, so you need to wait for the news. I just want to ask, what is the current situation of His Royal Highness?"

"If you want me to tell me, he may have gained a lot of weight." Lanli asked, "Do you want to see him?"

"Where is he?" the other party asked hurriedly when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect that there would be such "good things".

"Seeing the Holy Hall." Lanli replied.

These words made the Imperial Guard stunned. His eyes under his hood then looked at Lan Li deeply, and then said: "In the evening ten days later, I will wait for you under the statue of the Fishermen's Square, with His Majesty's reply."

After saying that, he turned around and left without hesitation at all, and did not try to obtain information again.

Until the sound of footsteps faded, Renli put down his bow and arrow, and then fell into deep thought.

It is understandable that the other party did not search for it with great fanfare. It must be because they were afraid of the royal enemy, especially the church, and then they took the lead in finding the little prince, but it was a bit subtle to send an Imperial Guard to find someone.

The Royal Guard who protects the king is a very honorable position. There are only seven places across the country. In a sense, they are actually no different from celebrities, and there are no fewer people who know them.

Of course, that was the situation of the Imperial Guards later. The Imperial Guards were not long since their birth in this era, and it is not clear what they are going on.

But as a close person around the king, the chance of being recognized is very high.

Lanli thought that if it were him, he would not have allowed an Imperial Guard to do such a thing that needs to be done invisible, but Nainis did so...

He is so stupid?

Lan Li didn't think the reason was because of stupidity. Instead, he guessed that this might be because there was no one else available to the king. If this is true, the meaning behind it would have to be thoughtful...

Thinking of it, he shook his head, feeling that this kind of game of throne seemed quite annoying in any era.

...

After returning to the temple, the attendant Igo was busy drying the rainbow cloak with the characteristics of the Son of the Warrior. The little man stepped on the stool and hung the cloak on the clothesline, and his body looked a little shaky.

Seeing this, Lan Li stepped forward and took the cloak and hung it on himself. Then he chatted with the little guy for a while, but did not tell him the news about the Imperial Guard, but instead asked him to help take off the new armor he had worn and brought back from the blacksmith shop.

The new armor includes a barrel-shaped helmet, a fitted breastplate, handguards, leg armor, steel boots and other parts that are required for Knight's plate armor. The overall silver plate is plastered and shines in the sun. It looks quite handsome and is not much different from the standard armor of the Sons of Warriors.

There is only an inconspicuous bulge barrier metal on the right edge of the breastplate. The blacksmith made a small mechanism at this point so that this novel component can be folded or put down freely.

Lanli had conducted experiments when she was in the blacksmith shop. She felt that it was no different from the rifle rack I remembered. Lanli had another idea about this new accessories, but he had not yet figured out how to operate it.

There seems to be no need to worry about the current situation.

So after removing his armor, he looked at the sky outside and then stepped to an alley where he was used to.

After arriving, the thin figure who was originally looking around there discovered him immediately, so he rushed over, his cheeks covered by long dark hair were filled with excitement and pride, and at the same time he handed him something in his hand.

It was a light gray cotton slipper with a pointed front and wide back. The surface of the slippers was inlaid with some small purple garnets, which shone slightly under the sunlight. It looked like it had just been brushed and looked quite clean.

But it only has one, not a pair.

But Lanley was able to confirm that when the girl stole the slippers, it must have been a pair rather than one. As for why there was only one, it was naturally because the remaining one was collected by her own collection.

Yes, it was stealing, not her own stuff. Although there was no evidence, Renli was sure of it.

He sighed, feeling that he had a long way to go.
