249 Leaked Secrets
The summer is already hot, and the air on the surface is so dazed. The dense crowds around the intersection are noisy and noisy, which aggravates the degree of heat. It feels particularly dull when you are in it.
There were constant discussions and shouting around him. He was surrounded by the guards and stared at the three prisoners who were struggling weaker on the gallows. Oberon, nicknamed the Red Viper, looked not very good-looking, but Lan Li next to him seemed to have not seen it. When the three prisoners were motionless, he even sent someone to instruct the executioners to hang for a while so that the assassins would not pretend to die and escape.
It was not until the civilians watching the fun dispersed that he turned around and called on the "Dorne sightseeing team" to continue moving forward.
But after this, the originally harmonious atmosphere quietly became a little tense. Oberon, the red poisonous snake in the team, glanced at Ren Li, who was leading the team in front with hostile eyes several times, but never did anything special.
Soon after, the group arrived in the port area again. Because there were a large number of summer vacationers, it was also noisy, which surprised Namelia, the mistress at the center of the team.
“Is it that hot?”
"The King's Landing is not as heat-resistant as the Dorne." Lan Li replied with a smile.
Most of the places where Dorn are located are deserts, and the environment and climate are much more difficult than here. This can be seen from the surface. After walking for such a long time, the guards who protected the safety of the team around him were already sweating profusely, but these Dornese did not sweat at all.
"Then they are going to Dorn, wouldn't they be dying of heat?"
"It's not necessarily true that you die of heat, but it's possible that you die of thirst..."
...
Simple people focus on simple things, but not simple people discover some special situations here.
For example, there were warships anchoring in the distance of the port, and soldiers were also constantly boarding the ship. After Lanli patiently explained, the Donne fully understood everything that happened or is about to happen on the Crab Claw Peninsula.
They would not ignore that among the dark summer resort crowd, several monks were spreading high-pitched voices of repulsing Targaryen, and the remarks caused the civilians around them to agree.
All of this made Oberon, who led the team, feel depressed, and the execution scene he had seen before, unconsciously made him think a lot and feel quite annoyed.
"That Lanley was deliberately letting us see these." When the tour ended and the Dornese returned to their temporary residence, the Red Viper Oberon and his niece said, "He is a very scheming person."
"These three hangers are really faceless?" Yalian asked hurriedly.
"I'm not sure what they are," Oberron said. "The plan is indeed the faceless man to carry out the beheading, and what Renli said is very straightforward."
"Have our plan been discovered?" The petite Princess Dorn looked ugly.
"That's right." Oberon gritted his teeth and replied.
As someone speculated, their trip to the king was not for marriage, but for the hope of disrupting the situation here.
In other words, allies far away from Westeros promised to send the Faceless to assassinate most of the Baratheon family, and hoped that Dorn could take this opportunity to intervene in and create disputes.
Their initial plan was to kill the Baratheon family, leaving only King Robert's only daughter, Myrcella and Stannis Baratheon. In this way, both sides will definitely fight.
Because according to the normal inheritance of the Iron Throne, Stannis must be crowned as king, but if we consider it according to the law of Dorn and the interests of the Lannister family, Myrcella is the real heir to the king.
Unfortunately, the plan was good, but it suddenly ended before it really started.
"Didn't it mean that the disguise of the Faceless One has never been discovered? How did they be exposed?"
"Maybe those who are not really faceless people, Lanli just learned about our plans and then deliberately let other prisoners pretend."
"Even so, he discovered our plan."
"Donn knew about this plan only you, me, and your father, so there must be something leaked from Targaryen."
"There is a traitor over there?"
"Maybe--"
Halfway through the conversation, someone suddenly knocked on the door outside.
Oberon frowned and walked over to open the door. He saw a little fat man dressed in a servant standing outside the door timidly. When he was watching, he couldn't help but shrink his neck, looking cowardly and timid.
"Sir Lanli asked me to give this to you." The little fat man said as he trembled as he handed over a rolled note in his hand.
The fat man was the attendant of Renly. Oberon had seen him before, so he frowned, but he took the note without hesitation.
When he opened his eyes, his face was stunned, and then he raised his eyes and asked, "Is this true?"
"What, what's the matter?" the little fat man asked blankly.
Apparently he knew nothing, Oberon pinched the note tightly when he saw this, and then said without hesitation: "Take me to see your master!"
The tone was quick, as if there was something urgent. Seeing this, the fat man did not dare to hesitate and immediately turned around and ran outside. Oberon ordered his niece in the house and followed him step by step.
At this time, the sky outside the building was getting late, and the dim light radiated from the sky, soaking the red castle stone bricks under your feet into a splendor. Two people, one big and one small, were in a hurry, and finally saw Lan Li in the tower exclusive to the Minister of Justice.
It seemed that he was ready. When the Donne entered the room, the young black-haired man had no surprise on his face, but instead smiled at the visitor.
Before, he was in a hurry, but after arriving in the house, the Dorn's red venomous snake calmed down, walked to a chair in front of Lanli's desk and sat down, then knocked her legs crossed.
"Is this true?" he asked.
Lan Li did not answer, but looked at Samwell, the attendant at the door of the room, and signaled the other party to leave. Then he said, "I don't need to fool you in this matter, and you also met those parties at the banquet last night."
"The hair color alone is not enough to prove that the three children are not Robert's species." Oberon shook his head when he heard this: "Besides, I heard that even the king's hair turned golden a while ago."
"This is enough to prove that hair color can be changed, using blood magic or witchcraft." Lan Liyi said authentically, "Besides, what is the purpose of changing so much? Or, who is covering up what?"
Oberon frowned when he heard this, pondered for a moment and said nothing.
Seeing this, Lan Li shrugged.
The note he handed over before was very simple. He wrote down the story that his brother was cuckolded and his children were not biological.
The purpose is naturally not to promote "family scandals", but to prove that their Baratheon family and the Lannister family behind the queen already have unrelieved hatred, or in other words, Lanli's purpose is to win over Dorn.
At this time, the situation in the seven countries was generally stable, and only Dorn was a seriously unstable area.
Dorn’s question is actually simple. When Robert rebelled, Donne and Targaryen were in a marriage relationship. Prince Rega, the heir of Targaryen’s Iron Throne, married Princess Elia of Dorn, who was the sister of the Red Viper in front of him.
Then during the Robert rebellion, Princess Elia and her children died tragically in the Red Fort.
But in fact, their tragic death was not done by Baratheon, but by Lannister.
Lannister had not joined Robert's side at that time. They killed Princess Dorn and her children, which was equivalent to a "vote of fame".
So in the true sense, Dorn's enemy is Lannister, not Baratheon.
It was precisely because of this that Renly wanted to prove in front of this Dornest that Baratheon had the possibility of standing opposite Lannister.
But this is not enough.
"I know, Dorn is now allied with Targaryen." When Oberon thought, Renley said, "I know, your sister's death is full of hatred. But is it really blamed for her death?"
