58 Screen peeping magic

As Stannis's entourage, although the former smuggler Davos was not placed in the core area of ​​Red Fort, he was not excluded. Instead, he lived with other knights and guards of the Baratheon family in a military camp near the walls outside the castle.

Now as a knight, his status is no longer the same as before. At the same time, relying on his senior understanding of ships, he is still highly valued by Stannis because the other party is forming a fleet to attack Dragonstone Island.

It is worth mentioning that after becoming a knight, the coat of arms chosen for himself was a small black ship printed on a gray base. The sail of the small black ship was inlaid with onion patterns and two half-pinched fingers. It looked like it was stretched out from above and was about to pick the onion away, and it seemed that it had just been placed on the boat.

When he found him, the man was talking to a little man in the stable. Lan Li stood not far away and waved to him, and the man walked over quickly.

"Good morning, Lord Renley."

He bowed and greeted him, and his attitude was much more submissive than others, "Do you have something to ask me for?"

The black-haired boy nodded, but looked at the two Baratheon soldiers behind him. "Will, Eddies, stay away from you, I want to tell our Onion Knight a secret."

He deliberately used the seriousness and serious speech unique to children, which made the two soldiers laugh, "I'm really curious about Master Lan Li's secret, can we listen to it?"

"No." The boy shook his head.

After looking at each other, the two soldiers pretended to sigh and walked back a distance.

"Go away." Lanli ordered.

So the soldiers were relieved to stay away from it.

Although two colleagues had just lost the young master not long ago and were punished, they had already believed Lan Li's secret passage at this time, so they did not have any warning.

At the same time, they all came from Fengxi Castle, and are senior soldiers who have followed the Baratheon family for a long time. They are familiar with Davos, who solves Fengxi Castle food problems, so they can also stay away with it with confidence.

However, as the person involved, Davos did not feel honored, but instead became serious - others didn't know that he knew that the person in front of him was definitely not a simple child, and now he was acting like this, obviously had a purpose in it.

"Sir, what happened?" he couldn't help asking.

"I remember you said, were you born in a flea nest?"

Lan Li looked up at him and asked with confirmation, "June's Flea Nest?"

Davos nodded.

"Then you should know some of the locals here? Prostitutes, barbers, tavern owners, canteen managers, and even rogue villains?"

"I know all this, sir."

"Then I need you to do something for me, Davos." Lanley said seriously, his expression was completely different from what he had just said.

The brown-haired middle-aged man in black cloth robe saw this half kneeling on the ground and tilted his ears and listened, so the other party began to whisper, but the more he heard his eyes wider, and finally he couldn't help but interrupt the boy's words.

"Do you have evidence? Sir?"

"I have evidence, but I can't give it to you."

"This... I'm sorry for being too talkative. Slandering the nobles is a serious crime, especially the great nobles like Lannister, not to mention the siblings you mentioned..."

"Wouldn't the charge of massacre and plundering King's Landing be even more serious?"

"Lannister is in the name of your brother—"

"That's why I said that Baratheon was far away from them. Why should we take the initiative to taste bad bad shit that is inauspicious?" Lan Li said with disgust, "It's still the rotten shit that has been fermented for a long time."

"But such slander is not a decent person. Sorry, I—"

"This is true!" Lan Li assured him seriously: "I swear to the Seven Gods that this is not a slander. If there is any lies, I will not die well!"

Davos obviously didn't know that Lan Li didn't believe in God at all, nor did he know that this person would have died several times. Hearing this, he opened his mouth and hesitated: "Maybe we should let Lord Stannis, or Lord Robert know about this?"

"They won't believe it." Lanli shook her head: "They will ask, what is the source of the news? How did you know it? I can't say that this is what I saw with magic, right?"

Davos frowned when he heard this.

After several contacts, he could feel that Lan Li was not bad, so he did not reject him, but he did not believe in the magical rhetoric he spoke, or in other words, he was full of resistance to such witchcraft that he had no idea at all.

But considering that he was granted the knight status and a piece of territory because of this "witchcraft", the former smuggler was a little hesitant and didn't know whether he should agree.

"I won't force you." Lanli sighed at this: "I ask for your help in the name of the Baratheon family, Davos, help us, not myself."

How much is this true and hard to say, but it is more effective than any coercion.

After the words were finished, the former smuggler, who was named a knight by Stannis, unconsciously pinched the small bag on his chest. He hesitated for a moment, and finally thought of the cruel plundering traces in King's Landing City, so he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"I can find a few reliable friends to spread this, sir, but I can't guarantee how much it will work. I mean, it's likely that doing so will only be useless."

"Just try my best, I'll think of another way."

Lanli shrugged: "But there is a saying in Westeros, words are like wind, I believe that if it is wind, it will eventually spread."

When he said this, the hatred gazes he saw when he entered the city were unconsciously flashed in his mind.

The war has just passed. If the civilians in King's Landing were hostile to the Baratheon family, then what about Lannister who had personally burned and killed and plundered?

He didn't say this, but he thought Davos would think of taking advantage of this, but their topic about this ended here because a man came not far away.

The person who came with wide shoulders and strong body, a tight gray wool top and a black leather jacket made him tight like a big sword with his hands, while his thin cheeks and trivial black hair looked like the sharp tip of a sword.

"Master Stannis." Davos hurriedly stood up after seeing the visitor, and then stepped forward to salute.

"You should go to work, Davos."

The other party said expressionlessly: "Coaxing children is something that the nurse needs to do."

"Okay, sir." Davos nodded and responded, secretly gave Lan Li a look, turned around and left quickly.

Stannis, who was still there, lowered his head to the little boy in front of him.

"I thought you would be in the Megha Tower, but you were wasting your time in the stable, pulling my onion knight."

His voice seemed to be blamed, but Lan Li was usually used to ignoring the words of this person with certain ingredients, and instead cared more about another message.

"Are you looking for me?" the brunette boy said in surprise, "What are you doing?"

This is a rare thing. When he was in Fengxi Castle, this person never talked to him without any need, and there would be no need to find him.

This is normal, what can I say?

Although he was a brother, Renli always treated Stannis as a mean elder, although the man in front of him was not yet twenty years old.

Ignoring the question on the boy's face, the other party looked down at him and frowned and said, "Before leaving Fengxi Castle, Krisen asked me to take care of you. I don't understand why a servant was asking me to take care of you, but he said it was the responsibility of being a brother."

You can just think about this, why do you say it?

Lan Li's face turned dark when she heard this. After looking at his expression for a few times, the other party suddenly nodded, and then turned around and left: "Rober is not in a good mood recently. I will ask the servant to deliver breakfast to your room for the next few days. You must eat on time."

As he said that, he seemed to remember something, and his steps suddenly stopped.

"I was testing the ship at sea a while ago."

He left again after saying that.

What's the meaning?

Lan Li felt that the man was a little confused, but then he looked at the other person's departure back and felt a little reminiscent, so he couldn't help but squint his eyes and doubt.

This is... the legendary stingy?
