214 Letter from the River Bend

On the morning of the third day of the Jiaoling incident, a team of 100-man knights suddenly emerged from the castle and rushed towards the nearest valley city of Jiaoling.

The team was led by the Earl of Landao and Talley of Jiaoling, but the members of the Silver Hand Knights also followed them. A group of people went into battle lightly and arrived at the destination in just a few days.

After staying in Yougu City for a day, the team set off again, but there was an Earl of Levire, a Gate City, compared to before.

Then there was a continuous journey, and the entire team kept visiting one river bay lord family after another, including the Peck family in Xingsuo City, the Fossovie family in Fruit Wine Hall, the Luowan family in Golden Tree City, the Oakht family in Ancient Oak City, and the Florent in Liangshui City...

...

"Young people today are really amazing."

Standing on the city wall and looking at the vast team of knights heading towards the old town, a thin silver-haired old man raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat that did not exist on his forehead.

"My niece married his second brother at least, how could she have a strange intention? Alas, it must be someone from the Tyriar family who said bad things about us."

He said so, but the old man couldn't help but tremble, and felt a little awe in his heart.

It was just a preliminary contact with some people, and before they could be seen... How did the young duke's eyes grow?

"Father, what should we do now?" someone next to him asked: "Uncle has followed them, there will be no surprises, right?"

"What's the surprise? Our Florent family is loyal to the Iron Throne."

The old silver-haired man waved his hand when he heard this.

"Give orders to capture all Targaryen traitors in the territory, and to indulge in the bandits anymore. They cannot bring benefits to us now, and will only cause trouble!"

As he said that, he suddenly had an idea and asked again.

"By the way, I haven't heard of anyone who Duke Lanli is engaged to?"

"No, father." His son shook his head beside him.

"That……"

The silver-haired old man opened his mouth, but after carefully thinking about the situation of several female junior members in the family, he sighed in disappointment.

“Talents are scarce.”

...

The 294th year of Aegon was still a hot summer, but a cold wind suddenly rolled up from the river bend was surging rapidly, dispelling the sultry and boredom of the climate everywhere.

The team starting from Jiaoling circled the riverside and took a long time, but it was also grand.

Every time the team arrives at a noble castle, they will join new members, family heirs, or contemporary heads, or family representatives after rushing again.

As they arrived intermittently at one territory after another in the river bay, the remnants of Targaryen colluded with their former disciples, and the things that happened in the Jiaoling gradually spread among the noble circles. Some were indignant about this, some were complicated by this, some were gloomy, some were depressed and helpless, and some were quietly thinking.

But no matter how these people think, when the team arrives at their home, they can only show a welcome attitude, not only with delicious food and drink, but also with the smile or a sharp attitude of a young duke who is accompanying him.

His presence scared many people, but as the hidden conversations went on, some of the frightened people sent people to join the team the next day without hesitation, and breathed some relief.

At the same time, they will immediately issue wanted orders in their territory, directly marking the old disciples who had been active in this place for nearly ten years as traitors, and vow to clean them up.

One side is a new regime that has gained a foothold, and the other side is a remnant royal family who has wandered overseas and has barely launched action against Westeros, but has not yet launched further plans. Although some lords hope that the families under their jurisdiction can play chess on both sides or simply have a rebellion, they have to make wise choices under the pressure of someone taking over the general trend.

However, someone's purpose is not just that.

After the entire team wandered around Hewan for a whole circle, when the major families of Hewan visited one after another, Lan Li personally wrote a letter written by the other families and stamped and signed by the other families was sent to the King's Landing Red Castle by Raven.

At this time, the people in the king's landslide had not noticed any signs, or in other words, they have been observing the whereabouts of the remnants of Targaryen outside Westeros for some time.

Because according to spies, several rulers in the free trade city-state seemed to have contact with the remnants of the previous dynasty, including Bravos and Valentis, including Novos and Cohall.

Bravos and Valentis are the two most powerful city-states among the free trade city-states, and the other two are also not weak, let alone some situations that they don't know.

All this made His Majesty the King on the Iron Throne feel a little restless, and recently he has visited the imperial conference hall one after another and kept a close eye on it.

"I had long said I would send an assassin to completely clean up the two remnants, but you insisted on stopping me. Jon, what do you say now? Think of a solution?"

The magnificent hall echoed King Robert's annoyed questioning. In response to this, the silver-haired old man sitting in the prime minister's seat pursed his lips and his expression was gloomy.

"Assassination of a child is a stain for a king. Your Majesty, it will damage your honor." Balistan Seermi, the captain of the Royal Guard, said, but King Robert cursed.

"Fuck the honor, how many people will die for this shit honor? Balistan, tell me? How many lives can the shit honor you have in your mouth be worth? Those people might even laugh at me as a fool, let them grow stronger but still talk about honors - Seventh-level hell, I really shouldn't have believed you at the beginning!"

"Maybe the situation is not that bad, your majesty." The newly promoted finance minister, Mace Tyriel, comforted at this time: "We just heard that Targaryen had connections with those city-state rulers, but having connections does not mean that they have formed an alliance."

"Yes, your Majesty."

The flushed Grand Secretary Paichel said slowly at this time: "The nine free trade city-states have enemies with each other. For example, there is no possibility of cooperation between Bravos and Valentis. Your Majesty, Bravos is opposed to slavery. In addition, Rees, Mill and Terossi, in order to compete for the disputed land, over the years-"

He didn't finish his words, because a follower suddenly appeared from the back door of the imperial conference hall. After receiving the instructions, he ran over and handed a letter to Grand Secretary Paisier.

The old man with a snow-white beard spread out his letter and looked at it for a few times, his expression on his face became very strange.

"What's wrong with that happening?"

King Robert asked coldly. After nine years, he had developed from a strong young man to a middle-aged fat man with a round belly, but he was still very shocking when he was angry.

The Grand Secretary of Paceel did not dare to neglect and quickly replied: "It is news from Hewandi, Your Majesty, about Duke Lanli, he—"

The old man said, looking at the fat brown man sitting on the other side of the long table with a strange look, and instead of continuing, he got up and handed the letter to King Robert.

The Duke of Metz is a little strange about this.

He knew what the "adopted brother" had done in Hewan recently. After all, the noise was a bit big. As the lord of Hewan, he could not not understand.

He even mentioned this matter not long ago at the imperial conference table. Regarding the monks of red robe and those traitors, His Majesty the King has sent ravens to inform the lords of the seven kingdoms to investigate.

But this is basically the case, what other changes can be made?

Duke Mess was puzzled, and then King Robert laughed at him even more and more heartbroken, and he felt a little nervous.

Without stoking his appetite, King Robert immediately pushed the letter over, and Duke Mace, who had become a fat man over time, hurriedly picked it up and looked carefully.

The expression on his face became a little gloomy without realizing it.

The content in this letter is very simple. The major families of Hewan testified here that the old disciples were indeed traitors, and at the same time, they expressed their determination to sweep away the Targaryan spies in their territory.

In addition, the unified documents also feature familiar seals, including Haitar, Luowan, Tali, Fossovie, Okhert...

Duke Mess was a little angry when he saw the dense seals, but then he thought about it, but suddenly he figured out something, stood up decisively, took off a seal ring in his hand and put it on the letter, and then a rose seal was added to the long scroll letter.
