Chapter 327: The King of Saiwai Asks for Negotiations
Melisandre gives a lot of range, but there aren't really many sacrifices to choose from.
Li Nan, the king of the north, has no parents, brothers and children in this world, and even if he does, he will not let his relatives be burned alive.
Joffrey, the King of the Iron Throne, has long been known to the public, and all the Lannisters are his immediate family, but unfortunately these people are far away in King's Landing, and they are still at odds with Stannis.
The rest are the relatives of Stannis, the King of the Narrow Sea, which is why the Onion Knight is afraid when he hears the word sacrifice.
Stannis had only one daughter, Princess Shirin, who was a poor girl who had been suffering from a disease known as Grey Scale Disease when she was still a baby.
The illness almost killed Shireen, and caused her facial deformity, because of the illness, she can only live on the tower of Dragonstone Island, only the onion knight goes to chat and play with her on weekdays, and she also teaches the onion knight to read, so the relationship between the two is like father and daughter.
"No way!" The Onion Knight shouted angrily at Melisandre, "I won't let you sacrifice Princess Shirin!" ”
The imminent death of the king she considered to be shattered shattered Melisandre's original unwavering faith, she looked at Stannis on the bed, and said indifferently: "Whatever you want, if you don't want to do this, then you can only watch him die." ”
The onion knight, who was in a dilemma, kept rubbing his hands and pacing in the room, and seeing his appearance, Li Nan opened his mouth and said: "Life and death are rich and noble, and I believe that a character like Stannis will never be willing to exchange his daughter for his life." ”
Everyone present, including Scholar Aemon, each of them had a few lives on their hands, but in the face of the evil sacrifice methods of the Church of Light, everyone expressed their disapproval.
Just as everyone fell silent, a woman sitting on the edge of the bed suddenly spoke: "Shirin is my daughter, and I have the right to decide her fate. Melisandre, go and prepare for the ceremony. ”
The woman who spoke was emaciated, with a pointed face, prominent ears, and a sharp nose. She is the wife of Stannis and the mother of Shirin, Celis, and she is also a devout follower of the Lord of Light.
Stannis is currently in a coma, and the most vocal on the matter is undoubtedly Selis, as she said, Shirin is her biological daughter.
The red-robed priestess Melisandre nodded slightly, planning to go out to prepare for the ritual of burning the sacrifice, seeing this, the onion knight suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly rushed to the door to block her way.
Seeing the Onion Knight's actions, Celis questioned in a sharp voice, "Sir Davers, you dare to disobey my orders?" ”
Celis walked to the door, stood opposite the onion knight, and said in a strong tone: "On behalf of Stannis, I announce the removal of your Hand of the King and all other positions, get out of my way!" ”
Seeing the onion knight's face that instantly turned gray, Li Nan really couldn't bear to see a little girl burned alive in front of him, so he said, "Wait, let's let Stannis make his own decision." ”
Without explaining to them, Li Nan took out a silver needle, roasted it on the flame, and quickly stabbed Stannis seven times in the unconscious.
Although Li Nan has learned the four schools of medicine, he is not capable of curing Stannis, who has a broken sternum and serious injuries to his internal organs, but he has a way to make Stannis temporarily sober up.
There are seven hidden acupuncture points in the human body, because these seven acupuncture points correspond to the position of the Big Dipper, the greedy wolf and the giant gate, so they are called the seven star lights.
When a person's life is in danger, using acupuncture to stimulate these seven acupoints will stimulate all the potential within the human body, allowing the patient to return to the light and explain the future.
After Li Nan quickly administered the Seven Star Life-Extending Injection, Stannis, who had been unconscious, coughed violently a few times, spit out a few mouthfuls of blood and woke up.
Selys, Onion Knight, and Melisandre all came to the bed in surprise, and Li Nan instructed, "He won't last long, so ask his opinion quickly." ”
The Onion Knight spoke at a very fast pace, and after hearing clearly, Stannis grabbed Selys's hand and said with difficulty, "I, Stannis. Baratheon, who has never owed anyone anything in his life, and who does not want to sleep with guilt when he dies, I will never allow you to sacrifice Shirin! ”
Saying these words seemed to drain Stannis's energy, and once he had finished speaking, he fainted again.
Without saying a word, Li Nan walked out of the room with his men and Aemon Scholar, giving up space to Selys, Onion Knight, and Melisandre.
In the early afternoon, Li Nan, who was sleeping in his room, heard a low horn. Baratheon, after the death of his eldest brother Robert and third brother Lan Li, he did not sit on the Iron Throne after many hard fights, and left this world like this.
After Stannis's death, the Lannisters were likely to take action due to Dragonstone's proximity to King's Landing, so the mother and daughter of Celis and Princess Shirin decided to abandon the island and settle in the North.
The Onion Knight, along with Stannis's men, and his hired soldiers, all came under the command of Li Nan.
The days that followed became boring and boring, and although some of the more than 100,000 savages under the command of the king of the outside world died, they still stubbornly attacked the city every day, and more and more savages died under the Great Wall.
A few months later, a letter from a giant shot to the city wall with a strong bow was delivered to Li Nan.
The content of the letter is simple, the king of the outside of the Seychelles intends to negotiate!
Relying on the solid Great Wall of Desperation, Li Nan could even defend this place without a single soldier, so there were only four words on his reply: "No interest!" ”
Li Nan didn't want to negotiate, but planned to hang the savages, so that he would have the upper hand during the negotiation, but he didn't expect that a few days later, another letter was delivered.
"I'm going to talk to you about surrender--- King of the Cypriots, Mance. Reed. ”
There are at least thirty or forty thousand warriors among the more than 100,000 savages, and after reading the letter, Li Nan was very interested in the proposal of the king of the outside world, so after some arrangement, he decided to talk to the savages under the Great Wall of Desperation.
The King of the Outer Fortress came to the foot of the Great Wall with only one retinue, and Li Nan and Dorcott slid down on a rope, and the two sides met at a stone's throw from the desperate Great Wall.
The leader of this savage, the king of the Cypriots, Mance. Red is of medium stature, with slender legs, a strong physique, broad shoulders and chest, and long gray hair, he does not look amazing.
After the two sides looked at each other for a few minutes, Li Nan took the lead in asking, "As far as I know, you are all not free or would rather die than think, why do you choose to surrender?" ”
"Huh." The King of the Outer Fortress smiled bitterly and said, "Freedom is indeed precious, but now the army of strange ghosts has approached the Fengsheng Gorge, not far from the settlement of our savages. No one is not afraid of death, and even if a ghost turns into a ghoul, even the soul will never be at peace, so on behalf of all the wildlings, I hope you will allow them to enter the Great Wall. ”
