The environment in the tavern is dark, with greasy candles burning on each table, and burning torches are tied to the wooden pillars of the tavern, which are combined with the candles to illuminate the greasy faces, either sloppy or drunk.

The maids of the tavern kept shuttled through the gaps of one table after another, and the air was filled with the smell of flesh and smell of smell, mixed with noise or yelling and laughing, forming an inherent portrait of a medieval tavern.

This is a very simple tavern, located in the King's Landing Flea Nest. The ground is unpaved and the wooden ceiling above has long been blackened by the large amount of smoke from candles and torches.

However, this is also a common place for ordinary people to drink and entertain.

"I can't get my money, Davos." The owner of the tavern is a thin middle-aged man with a mustache. Now he is hiding in the back of the tavern and secretly sees a middle-aged man wearing a coarse black clothes and a black cloak.

"I don't care whether this is true or not. The Lion family has a grudge against me, and they have a grudge against us. You know this is enough."

"Holding people requires a lot of money, you will always use it." The brown-haired middle-aged man standing in front of him shook his head when he heard this.

"You can't be in vain."

"Why would it cost more money to ask our prostitutes to chew a few more words?" The owner of the tavern sneered: "As for those singers, their thief ears are eager to find out the shameless behavior of all the nobles and men in the Seven Kingdoms. Look, Davos, although we can't beat those who ride horses and guns, we are not cowards who can do nothing by bullying. Do you know, I went out to buy goods that day, but my sister raped a Lion family. If I asked me to know which bastard was done by me, I would have to peel him off!"

"The gods bless her." The middle-aged brown-haired sighed when he heard this.

Five days have passed since he talked with Lan Li that day, and during this period, except for his normal work, he spent all his spare time on doing things.

Because of the promise to that person, or because of the indignation in his heart? He couldn't figure it out.

Things went smoother than expected. Afterwards, Renli didn't even use half of the "activity fund" he gave him, and now he has basically searched all the reliable friends he could find in the flea nest.

Tavern owner, canteen chef, shoemaker, barber, fishmonger, and even down-and-out bards.

Everyone agreed in unison, and everyone had a grudge against Lannister, big or small, but they all had it.

Of course, Davos also had some old friends who were not affected by the war, but he thought it was best to be cautious about this. His half-life smuggling career allowed him to see all kinds of people, and he also saw many unexpected betrayals. Even those who had been in contact with him secretly made contact and did not dare to get close in public.

...

After staying in this tavern for a glass of brown barley wine, Davos said goodbye to his old friend and left. However, just after he left the noise of the tavern behind, he suddenly felt that someone looked at him.

Not long ago, a light rain poured the cramped roads here, and the windows on the three-story wooden houses on both sides were closed, and there was no trace of people under the vendor sheds built on the roadside because of the night.

After scanning the surroundings, Davos's leather gloves touched the sword hanging inside the black cloak, and then walked out of the street here.

The sight projected on him seemed to have disappeared shortly afterwards, but Davos did not relax his vigilance and even accelerated his pace. However, just as he was about to walk out of this narrow road, a slender figure suddenly jumped out of the shadow beside the wall.

"Onion Knight?"

Davos paused when he heard this, and his hand, which touched the hilt of the sword at his waist, tightened unconsciously.

"Who are you?"

"A friend." The other party said this, standing in the cold street, facing the moonlight, wearing a black cloak, unable to see clearly, but his voice was soft, and he was obviously a woman.

However, Davos did not relax his vigilance.

"Friends won't do this kind of tracking."

"track?"

The female voice chuckled: "No, we just happened to meet you here."

us?

The middle-aged brown haired man felt nervous when he heard this word, but before he could react, someone suddenly patted his shoulder behind him.

"If it were the enemy, you would have been killed by us, Davos."

The sound was rough and had a smile, but the brown-haired middle-aged man couldn't help but squeeze the hilt of the sword in his hand. However, he did not act rashly, but slowly turned his head to look.

A face that made him somewhat familiar was thus seen.

"You are... Benn?" he asked hesitantly.

"Yes, it's me, big belly Ben Yen."

The other party nodded, and his body was fat with coarse clothes. His big round face with a smile was particularly obvious in the moonlight: "I am actually not very satisfied with this nickname. I should call me the strong Benen."

“As far as I know, you have—”

"Dead? No, no, Arthur Dane bought the bastards, but not everyone betrayed us."

Davos knew what he said.

The person in front of me is a member of a bandit in an organization called the Royal Brotherhood. Of course, that is the past. When he came out of Fengxi Castle, he once told the black-haired boy that the bandit gang was entrenched in the Royal King's hunting, and made a living by kidnapping and extorting nobles. Two years ago, he was sent by the Crazy King to wipe out the army.

It is said that the leading Dawn Divine Sword Sir Arthur Dawn was able to completely wipe out these bandits after bribing the villagers who lived in the Royal Grove.

However, it seems that it is completely wrong to say that it is completely wrong. The person named Benen in front of him was one of the more famous bandit leaders in the Royal Brotherhood. He heard that he was dead, but he was clearly living well at this time.

"That little boy who sells his body?" Davos asked.

He knew the person in front of him mainly because he had contacted the other party who sold stolen goods when he was a smuggler, but the two had only met once or twice, and they were not familiar with each other.

And now, they are obviously coming to them specifically.

Davos couldn't imagine that there would be any reason these people could come to him besides the child he had seen not long ago.

"His name is Tobu." The woman in front of him, who had a gentle voice, said: "He is my son. We are very short of money. That day he heard that a convoy of nobles passed by and ran over."

"You are Wenda, White Deer Wenda?" Davos asked again.

White Deer Wenda is also a leader of the Royal Brotherhood. Davos has never seen it, but he can guess it.

"Now called Jenny, blonde Jenny."

Big belly said, "The name Bai Lu Wenda is much louder than that of us. Hey, who calls her a woman? Women are born to have children, and everyone says that."

They didn't seem to be hostile, but Davos would not relax his vigilance. What he did during this trip had to act invisibly, but now he was brought to the door by these two former bandits, and he didn't think it was a good thing.

"What are the two friends asking me for trouble?" He spoke slowly and secretly wondered how to get out.

"Of course, of course there is something wrong. Why don't we sit down and talk to the nearby tavern?"

"Please forgive me, friends, I'll go to work later."

"Don't be nervous, my friend, we just want to ask you to do a favor, a small favor." said the fat man named Ben Eun, "You see, although we are already dead, we are not dead at all. So, as long as this person is not dead, there must be many needs, such as--"

He looked a little broken, so before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by his companion: "We want to ask you to help recommend the noble young master of the Lu family before. There is nothing else, it's that simple."

"What do you want to see him?" Davos frowned when he heard this.

"Be a servant? Be a private soldier? Anyway, that's the case. We have seen many servants of noble men, and it is not uncommon for noble children." Big belly said, "Those wastes are not as good as any of us."

"You mean, are you going to surrender to a little boy?"

Although he knew that the little boy was not simple, Davos felt that this matter sounded so absurd.

"You have seen him? You must have heard of him before. He is only five years old."

Big belly Benen was stunned when he heard this: "Five years old? We heard that he was six years old. But this doesn't matter. He will always grow up, yes, he will always grow up. We are still young and have long since stopped being bandits. And now, as long as he comes with two golden dragons, just like that day, we can do anything for him. Yes, everything, no matter how old he is."

When the former smuggler heard this, he suddenly realized that the two people in front of him regarded Lan Li as a fat sheep.

"Why not to follow Lord Stannis?"

He tried to remind the other party: "The boy you want to meet does not have the right to recruit private soldiers, and his money is also given by his family steward, so it is impossible to spend it casually."

This is not poaching, but it is really impossible.

It seems that no one is in charge of the young master of the Baratheon family, but in fact, the screening of the people around him is strict. Whether it is a servant or a guard, it has been strictly selected. After three generations, it must be considered, so how can people get in casually?

Moreover, Davos had no confidence in them, but the two didn't seem to be planning to give up easily, so they wanted to ask them to change their targets, or to let them go after they were full of bags.

However, after these words were finished, the two of them just shook their heads.

"Actually, we wanted to surrender to Stannis at the beginning because he accepted you and accepted a smuggler, but..."

The woman, who changed her name to Jenny, looked softly at the brown-haired middle-aged man: "Does your fingers still hurt? Davos?"

This made the person involved subconsciously raise his hand and touch the small bag hanging on his chest. Benen, who also walked to him, said: "We can't imagine why you asked him to chop your fingers, and we can't think of why he had to chop your fingers."

"Good deeds cannot offset evil deeds, nor can they cover up good deeds. Since I have been doing smuggling for more than ten years, I have to pay the price." Davos said seriously when he heard this: "Mr. Stannis punished me fairly. I am afraid there is no one in the world who is more just than him."

"It sounds pretty. Justice is better than not treating us as human beings, but we don't have the noble sentiment of you. I really want to cut my fingers."

Big belly Benen said, "Besides, if you do something like ours, if you really want to surrender, you may not be the fingers, but the head."

"Can a person without a brain still do things for the lords?" The woman also chuckled, obviously not planning to give up.

Davos frowned when he heard this: "But he shouldn't be a little boy either. Don't you think this idea is ridiculous?"

"That's right, of course it makes sense."

Big belly Ben said, "Rob of the Lu family is very generous. We have seen him. I heard that he is going to be king. Maybe he will not be stingy with his only two brothers. Maybe the little boy you talk about will become a lord in a while. Boys become lords. This kind of thing is very common, and we rarely make mistakes in our eyes."

"Of course, this is a gambling, but even if it doesn't, I see that the child takes action like this... Ahem, we won't lie to you. We have seen aristocrats for a lot of time. The nobles who are as generous as that child are the first to see them. To be honest, we are all scared. If you don't say anything else, it's enough to spend several years to reward a few golden dragons, but it's more than we earn in raising pigs in the woods. How about it, my friend? You're now acquainted with a reputation and take care of us poor people?"

Do you really think that kid is easy to fool? You can fool gold coins at will?

Davos shook his head secretly when he heard this, but in fact he could understand some of the two of them.

There was no master to be adopted in all parts of the seven countries. The poor knights sleeping in the wilderness were caught, let alone these former bandits. They were neither knights nor clean people. It was not easy to find a backer, and it was difficult for them to focus on a little boy.

"I can tell him about this." After thinking about it, he said, "But I'm not sure if he wants you or not, and I won't hide my identity for you."

The two looked at each other after hearing this, and then nodded.

"Of course, if he minds our identity, then that's fine. But please let my friends say more good things for us. We have been washing our hands for several years and have decided to be a decent person."

Big belly Benn looked serious when he spoke. Seeing Davos nodding, he spoke again: "But before that, I think we should be able to help you. Say bad things about the Leo family. I am good at this, so I will give you a reward."

Davos was stunned by this, and then he spoke with caution: "You all know?"

"You are very careful." The other party smiled when he heard this.
