219 Take the initiative to seek refuge
After many years, when he met Mei Ge, a special person again, Lan Li found that the other party was much more mature.
A black cloak that is convenient for night walks wraps his whole body, his short silver hair, a slightly rough face, and his invisible appearance make this look like a mature young man, or he has initially embarked on the ranks of middle-aged people.
Only by carefully observing can you find some unique delicacy of women on the other person's face.
"We did the thing that led you out of the High Court."
The environment was dim at night, but there were several fires rising up in the camp, covering the hazy light. Many soldiers were staring at the sudden visitor. However, because they received instructions in advance, they did not approach and listen, but stared at the two people who were beside the bonfire and kept vigilant at all times.
"Is that wanted criminal yours?" Lan Li asked with a raised eyebrows.
He didn't expect that the first opening remark from the other party was "submitting himself", but at the same time he could feel Mei Ge's sincere mentality, which made him feel a little interested.
He has not obtained much information from this person over the years. Although his intelligence system has been formed, it is only in its initial form and is floating on the surface and cannot find out what is too deep.
"I gathered a lot of people over us." Meige replied: "We are not weak in secret, so it's easy to make a little noise."
"So you reached a cooperation with Targaryen?" Lanley narrowed her eyes.
When he "interrogated" the red-robed monk, he knew that there was another group of people who cooperated with his plan of false accusation, but he did not expect that it would be the one in front of him.
“We did start with Targaryen, or they hired us to do their business.”
Megg replied frankly: "But I didn't expect that the third party who worked with Targaryen would be the red-robed monks."
Lan Li didn't say anything when she heard this, and the other party continued to speak: "The old disciples represented by the Red Robe Monk hunted us everywhere, and we had no possibility of cooperation with them. In other words, unless the Targaryen people can give up their cooperation with the Red Robe Monk, we will not do anything for them anymore. But as far as I understand, this seems impossible, so we must find another way out."
The Red Robe Monks, or the Red God Church behind them, have a strong influence in the free trade city-state, especially in the most powerful Valentis, where there are many people who believe in the King of the Gond, and Lanli knows this.
In contrast, although the group of people represented by this person in front of me are unique backgrounds, they are just some gutter mice that cannot be reached.
"So you are looking for another way out?" he asked with interest.
"Yes, let's cooperate." Megg said sincerely: "We can't join Targaryen. We are enemies with the old disciples. In other words, we are enemies with Targaryen, so our camp is the same."
"Don't forget that you are a Targaryen too." Lanli reminded the other party.
"But I am not Targaryen from Inis." Megg replied: "Since you are familiar with history, you should be able to understand the differences."
Lan Li shrugged when she heard this: "I can't provide you with any territory or power, and it's even more impossible to make you king. It's useless for you to cooperate with me."
He paused and then said, "If you know it, then you will know that my territory is just a Dragonstone Island."
The name Dragon Stone Island made Mei Ge feel a little silent, but then she suddenly laughed.
"You are a liar. I publicly promote my name and life experience, but except for the people over us, most people don't believe what I say. Even if they believe, they will not look at me with a normal perspective. People in this world will not accept monsters like me, so I have long since thought of being a king. As for being a lord? We have tried that our own strength alone cannot shake the current situation in Westeros. We originally planned to use Targaryen invasion to achieve this goal, but unfortunately this is no longer possible."
"What do you want?" Lan Li raised her eyebrows and asked, "Don't you want power, do you want wealth?"
"We want those disciples to die!"
"They hunted us everywhere and had no room for relief, and now they cooperated with Targaryen, so we can't wait to get them to come."
Lan Li pondered when she heard this.
All signs show that these ancient people seem to be incompatible with those red-robed monks, so they obviously do not want to see the power of the red-robed monks successfully defeat Westeros’ existing masters, and even said that these people may be in the same state as themselves and dare not leave Westeros.
However, they cannot have much climate in Westeros. In this case, it is inevitable to find other ways out, and it is not unreasonable to find him, after all, they have had contact with him before.
But the basis of cooperation is mutual benefit, and Lan Li does not think that a common goal alone can make this person and the people who represent behind her willingly be his younger brother. What's more, Lan Li also has a clear understanding of her current resources and status, or explains her pounds.
"You want to use me to get along with my brother's relationship." He said slowly.
The other party looked a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he did not deny it, but nodded calmly.
"Although we don't have many people, many of them have special talents and can be competent for documents, tax officials, knights, and even commanders of the First Army!"
"But you have no identity, no one will believe you, and I'm right, what you are doing now should be bandit activities, which is a stain."
Mei Ge was silent when he heard this, which was their biggest weakness.
Because they have no identity, they can only hang out at the bottom of society. It is too difficult to take a step forward.
Not everyone can cheat and show flaws like Lan Li. Even even Lan Li cannot keep the disguise of his identity for a long time. Lies are lies after all, and there will always be flaws to follow.
The general is to seek a serious way to survive. These ancient people basically ended in failure. The lords of Westeros would carefully investigate when they hired people, but they could not just ask for anything.
So apart from being bandits and some idle hired riders, they really have no other suitable employment options. However, in peacetime, when the bandits blocked the road actually had no future. They couldn't make much money in small fuss, and they couldn't satisfy their appetite. However, when the noise was too big, they would cause encirclement and suppression, and they were also hit a lot.
This industry has developed in troubled times, and Meg also believes that Westeros will inevitably fall into turmoil again in the future. Even their initial idea was to work with Targaryen as a leader and then take advantage of the purge of Westeros when the old forces in Westeros were purged.
However, the cooperation between Targaryen and the Red Robe Monk directly disrupted their plan, and they suddenly realized that they could no longer stay out of the chaos in the future.
If they don't look far, they won't live long, and it's not possible to rely on hiding or mixing among other people, because those disciples have special methods of distinguishing themselves and being able to recognize the difference between them and normal people.
So they had to find a way out, so Megg suddenly visited, hoping to join the line with Renli, or Baratheon behind Renli—
There is no way to rely on Targaryen, are they joining the Baratheon assembly? In the future, when the war begins, they will have Baratheon as a protective umbrella, and the members who are capable will always show their edge. Although this is slow to develop, it is somewhat a way out.
But now thinking about it, for no reason, who can trust a group of robbers who have no identity and are stained?
Mei Ge felt a little taken for granted, but then Renli's words aroused her hope.
"But if you can prove your own value, I can consider introducing you to my brother."
"How to prove it?" Mei Ge asked hurriedly.
