209 The Conspiracy Appears
Carefully lying in the bushes, watching the swaying cart without sheds in the distance, and more than a dozen armed riders around the cart were moving forward along the landslide green grass road, and finally mixed into a group of nobles on the edge of the stream, a pointed-faced boy breathed a sigh of relief, then curiously glanced at the wooden barrel and the boy with blood splashing in the stream. He reluctantly got up and turned his head to run towards his back.
The boy was in his teens and had agility and speed when running, and even everything behind him quickly went away. In a short while, he ran into a wood not far away, and ran for a long time, and finally came to a small house in the forest panting.
The cottage exists alone in a clearing in the forest. It belongs to a wooden house specially built by the local Talli family for the forest guards. However, at this time, it is not limited to the forest guards.
"Captain Meg, the group of horsemen met with the people of the Talli family!"
The pointed-faced boy who ran into the wooden house ignored the others in the house and shouted at the silver-haired "man" in the lead: "Our mission is completed!"
"It's not up to you to finish it or not, boy!" A gray-haired old man dressed in a businessman glared at the boy, then turned to look at the leading silver-haired man.
"Sir, do we need to keep an eye on it?"
If there were members of the Knights present, they would find that the merchant had seen it not long ago, and it was the dog dealer.
"They assigned a mission is to lead the knights to the Talley family." The silver-haired leader waved his hand after hearing this, "If we want us to do more things, we have to pay more."
"When did they pay the remaining money?" A young man with a beard sitting on the ground in the room complained: "Captain Mege, tell them to add more money. I was almost shot to death by Earl Luowan with one arrow. Now my butt is still hurting."
"Don't think about adding more money. Those people have always been stingy." Someone continued: "And whether you die or not, what does it have to do with them?"
"Why doesn't it matter? You don't have such a loud name as me. If I die, how can you lead those people from the Silver Hand Knights out of the High Court..."
They started to talk about boring words here, while the leader on the other side talked more steadily with several other people.
"Why do they want to attract people to Jiaoling?"
"It has nothing to do with us."
"It must be related to that king's younger brother." The old man dressed in a businessman said, "What's the name? Stephen?"
"Call Lanli."
The silver-haired man in the lead snorted and replied: "Stephen is his father's name."
The tone of this person was not normal. A middle-aged man in the room saw this and asked, "Sir, know that Lan Li?"
"It's considered a recognition."
The silver-haired man said inexplicably, but did not explain carefully, but stood up and announced to the group of people in the house: "Since the task is completed, we must leave here as soon as possible - Will, take people to stare at the back, guard against someone to surround him, Lemon, you are a scout, and you will open the way forward."
"Do you need to be so anxious?" The people inside the house were surprised.
"What should I do if I don't leave?"
The silver-haired man said without explaining it, but instead stepped out of the wooden house with great strides and walked towards a horse tied not far away.
At the beginning, the little devil was both cunning and mysterious, which was very difficult to deal with. Now, this big number one person is even more difficult to deal with. It is enough to make a slight calculation. She doesn't want to stay here and only increase the risk, just...
Thinking of the people hidden in the Talli family, a strange sympathy flashed in the eyes of the silver-haired "man" who got on the horse, and he muttered in a low voice.
"Blessed by the gods in heaven, you'd better kill him smoothly."
...
Lan Li on the other side was not sure that he had fallen into an unknown trap. At this time, he was in the crowd on the edge of the stream, talking to a bald middle-aged nobleman with a calm temperament.
"He inherited too many fox courage from the Florent family. I even doubted whether there was a witch who had cursed him when he was born, otherwise he would have been so timid, so I invited these two red-robed monks to hope they could bring miracles."
As he said this, the serious-looking bald middle-aged man stared at the fat boy who was stabbed in blood by the red-robed monks. He listened to the boy's loud screams like a pig-killing sound, and his eyelids couldn't help trembling.
Lan Li, who was standing next to him, initially thought that this person might be feeling distressed. After all, the one who was pressed into the blood was his son. As a result, he found that this person was annoyed after a little attention.
This made him unable to help but take a few more glances at the bloody little fat man not far away who was constantly struggling in the bucket.
Although he suddenly saw several old disciples, he was not panicked. Instead, he brought the Knights' people closer, because Renli wanted to see what the reaction would be when these people met him and whether they had relevant detection abilities.
As a result, the monks of red robe were always focused on dealing with the fat man at hand, and had no intention of paying attention to the situation of others around them.
So Lanli found the leader in the crowd. He had met the Count of the Kooling, Lan Dao Talli, whom he had met several times.
That is the bald middle-aged nobleman beside him.
This special scene appears under Jiaoling Castle, naturally it is impossible for someone else to make it happen. In fact, all this in front of you was arranged by this famous Hewan place general who is famous for his iron blood.
The purpose is to change his only son, the cowardly character of the fat little boy who kept screaming.
If Lanley remembers correctly, the fat man named Samwell Talley was one of the protagonists in the drama. Later, he seemed to have become a Grand Secretary. However, his memory of his previous life was quite vague about what he had before the ending, but he just remembered it as if he was very timid.
In recent years, he has heard of some of the deeds of this little fat man.
For example, he likes to listen to music, dance, eat, drink and play, but his personality is amazingly cowardly and he doesn't even dare to see blood.
If you want to see what is commendable and lively in the river bay, then how Count Tali in Jiaoling trained his timid son is one of the more interesting ones.
Lan Li didn't remember other rumors. What impressed the most was that in order to arouse his son's desire to resist a while ago, the Earl of Tali put on his mother's female clothes, and then took him around the castle in public, with the purpose of humiliating his son and making him angry, but he only got a little fat man with a crying face.
How could this Landao. Earl of Tali is also a top star in Westeros. He once led his army to defeat the current existence of His Majesty the King, but he was helpless about his son's personality. He tried all kinds of methods one after another and was completely heartbroken.
It is worth mentioning that the name of Valyrian steel sword of the Talli family is called Broken Heart. Lan Li believes that the curse in this person might be caused by the sword.
A strange thought flashed in his heart. On the surface, Lan Li began to look at the lively little fat man who was crying for a while. He found that he seemed to be frightened by the blood all over his body and only knew how to cry. Two of the four red-robed monks around him were responsible for suppressing the fat man's body and letting him not struggle, while the remaining two were responsible for chanting spells.
Unfortunately, their spell was not finished. The fat man who was crying and fainted while crying. His motionless appearance caused a stir here. The countess, who was also in the crowd, directly repelled the monks and then asked people to hurriedly carry their son back to Jiaoling.
"It's the spell that has taken effect, sir." He was pushed away by the woman, and several monks with red robe were a little embarrassed. One of them was the old god and the bald middle-aged man who was stepping forward. "When you wake up, Master Tali will change. According to our experience, in three days, you will take him to the training ground to test and you will see obvious changes."
"Then please stay in Jiaoling for three days." The bald middle-aged nobleman said with a serious face after hearing this: "If it is really effective, then I will not be stingy with the rewards of money."
"We are not keen on money, sir." The calm-looking monk said, "I just want you to help find something in the Jiaoling area."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Renli inadvertently, and then took the people away first.
Lan Li frowned because he had just felt a faint hostility, but before he could think about it, the Earl Tali, who had been staring at his son before, came up again to talk to him. It was not limited to Lan Li, but also several other members of the Silver Hand Knights-
Because there was once a Green Hand Knight Order in the Hewan area, which was very famous in the seven kingdoms, their small Knight Order was officially named the Silver Hand Knight Order at the suggestion of Viras, the heir to the High Court.
This is barely a meaning. I hope the Knights can establish countless great achievements like the Green Hand Knights. But in fact, in Lanli's view, the name of Silver Hand can be regarded as a hand for receiving silver coins, because the Knights' current function is to collect money and do things, and there is nothing noble.
In fact, they originally wanted to call Jinshou, but Lan Li felt that Jinshou was too vulgar and looked like a nouveau riche, and Yin's words became much more restrained.
So the name was decided.
After a few years, the Silver Hand Knights are not very famous in Hewan, but they are basically known by the Hewan nobles. Not long ago, the Earl of Tali invited the Knights to Jiaoling as a guest. Lan Li had some speculation at that time. Now after this conversation, the other party's purpose is very clear.
I hope the Knights can stay in Jiaoling for a few days and then take his incompetent son.
"It is best to let Sam feel the style and power of the Knight, and make him yearn for the life of the Knight."
The bald Count Tali claimed so clearly that he had no hope for the previous blood magic, or had made a second-hand preparation.
Lanli wondered why the other party was looking for them, because there were not many knights under the Talli family, and the other party's answer was very simple - the people of the Silver Hand Knights looked glamorous and looked very eye-catching, and the special knight composition and short but rich history also had a certain amount of boasting capital.
Lan Li felt a little speechless about this, but he still claimed to do his best. At the same time, he was very curious about the situation of the red monks, so he was not in a hurry to leave.
...
That night, Count Talley held a welcome dinner for the Knights at the Kooling Mausoleum. All members of the Talley family were present. Countess Talley, who was born in the Florent family in Liangshui City, even talked with Lanli about the Florent wife his brother Stannis married. However, Lanli was not familiar with his second sister-in-law. She remembered that she was an ugly woman with a beard and her personality didn't seem to be very good.
He didn't see the little fat man Samwell at the banquet. It is said that he was weak and unable to get out of bed. Instead, he saw his sisters. One of them was a precocious person who came to pay homage to Lan Li and made a big blush, causing a burst of kind laughter.
Westeros is not modern, and information and transportation are not convenient. Even the children of aristocrats cannot be said to be very outstanding. In other words, most aristocrats have been basically bound to the castle tower to learn female workers and etiquette education. When they grow up, they are used as capital for marriage.
Obviously, not all noble girls have excellent emotional intelligence or mature personalities. When facing tall and strange handsome knights, they often feel aroused in their hearts, and it is not uncommon to fall in love at first sight.
Lan Li has been traveling around in recent years, and has been visiting noble families from all over the river. He can always encounter such situations. However, he never stayed in one place for many years, so he did not develop any relationship with any noble girl. The girl from the Tali family in front of him could not even be called a girl. She seemed to be in her teens, so he didn't care much, but instead focused on talking to the master here, hoping to understand the clues of the mission goal of this trip and the red-robed monks in the castle.
However, soon after, he had to focus on the little girl who blushed at him again, because he heard a sentence.
"As long as he drinks this, will Lord Renli really fall in love with me?"
A innocent and crisp voice appeared in my heart, but it was not what I heard from my ears. On the surface, Lan Li picked up a glass of wine and tasted it without changing her face, but in her heart, she directly focused most of her attention outside the banquet-
Because he felt hostility, he had released his eagle to "track" a target before, but now, the sound was transmitted through the psychic moment, no longer in the banquet, but in the castle.
"Of course, Miss Tara, this is a potion we have carefully prepared. As long as the adult drinks it, he will immediately fall in love with you."
