Chapter 55: Captain and Dave

For Jon Arryn, there were no winners or losers in this war, and both sides were his people, even the leader of the rebel side, Count Marco Grafson. If anyone had to say who was the victor of this war, it would be the "Mad King", who lost more than 5,000 people on both sides of the valley without spending a single soldier.

Jon Arryn lay on the corpse of Count Marco Grafson, weeping silently.

He watched this child grow up little by little, what a lovely boy he used to be! Having lost his father at the age of 10, he was like an abandoned kitten, poor and helpless, because of his father's instructions, Jon Arryn took him back to the Eagle's Nest, personally taught him swordsmanship, horseback riding, archery, he watched the child grow up little by little, he taught him loyalty, taught him honor, taught him justice, and finally made him a knight himself, and at the age of 18 he watched him leave the Eagle's Nest City to inherit the title of Earl of Seagulltown.

Jon Arryn's tears flowed uncontrollably, wetting his cheeks, 8 years later, Jon Arryn was still an energetic middle-aged man in his 40s, he treated this child as if it were his own, he took him to tournaments, took him on a trip to a distant land, and he invested no less energy and affection in this child than he invested in Robert and Eddard.

Now, his body lay quietly in front of him, his head smashed by Robert, and burst open like a watermelon. The Sisters of the Silent Sisters took a great deal of effort to gather his "pieces" and put them together, and then put on a fully covered helmet for him, which made him look like a whole.

Along with Marco Graffson, Jon Arryn lost 8 years of hard work and affection, "Damn! It's been 8 years! It's been 8 years! Not 8 days, it's a person, not a dog! Jon Arryn cursed, in fact, even an 8-year-old dog would not be happy to die in front of him!

Who can he blame? Robert? The war was so brutal that from the moment Marco decided to go to war, he knew that Marco might end up like this.

After thinking about it, Jon Arryn began to blame himself, "Maybe I really taught you to be too pedantic? Did I teach you a sense of honor that hurt you? Did the loyalty I taught you kill you? Jon caressed Count Marco Grafson's helmet as if he were a child's own cheek, and though his gaze could not penetrate the helmet (and even if it did, it was smashed), it seemed as if the familiar young and energetic face could still be seen in front of him.

"No, it was Aerys who hurt you! It was the 'Mad King' who hurt you, and he doesn't deserve your loyalty, my child! He doesn't deserve it! He doesn't deserve it! Jon Arryn's hot tears dripped down the cold armor of Count Marco Graffson, but they could no longer warm the cold and hardened body of its owner.

However, at this time, Robert and Han Xing had already boarded the ship and set off towards the Stormlands, and the return to the Stormlands would inevitably pass through King's Lands, which meant that they would face interrogation by the royal fleet and even risk being discovered.

They found a medium-sized cargo ship, like all cargo ships bound for the Stormlands, filled it with the produce of the valley, and even got a small box with a whole box of silver deer in it, so that they could pretend to be the proceeds of business, so that they would look more like serious merchants.

Robert even shaved off his proud beard for this, Han Xing suddenly felt that Robert looked like a stranger, Robert was immediately happy to hear Han Xing's surprise, "If even you can't recognize me, then the patrol ships of the royal fleet won't recognize me even more." That's what he said.

Robert has always liked his beard, and he has gradually drifted away on the road of growing a beard, aiming to become a mature and attractive man, so that Han Xing has never seen him without a beard, and his appearance without a beard seems to be more handsome, of course, Han Xing only dares to think like this in his heart.

Obviously, Robert's disguise worked unusually, and they naturally met the soldiers searched by the royal fleet, and Han Xing played the role of captain, after all, compared to Robert, Han Xing was just a penniless small role.

"A few adults, villains are businessmen, I don't know why you stopped my boat!" Although Han Xing hated the behavior of being false and wronged with others, he had no choice but to greet others at the wine table.

"We have been ordered to hunt down spies from the Vale of Arryn and the Riverlands, where did your ship come from? Where are you going? The little leader yelled at Han Xing, and he got so close that a few drops of saliva splashed on Han Xing's face.

Han Xing had no choice but to pretend to be sincere and frightened and said, "My lord, I am really just a businessman, I am from Seagull Town, and I want to go to Dorne to do business. As he spoke, he took off his hat and bent over to fan the squad leader.

"Seagull Town? Isn't that the place of the valley? The little boss immediately said with a serious face, and his eyes shot a glint of essence, but it didn't seem like he had found anything suspicious, but it was a bit like he smelled the smell of "money".

"My lord, Seagull Town is still under the control of Count Marco Graffson, who is a staunch supporter of His Majesty." As he spoke, he secretly took out a money bag, which contained hundreds of silver deer, and stuffed them into the hands of the little boss unconsciously.

Seeing Han Xing like this, the little leader immediately gave him a "You are very sensible" look, and smiled contentedly: "This captain looks very raw?" What do you call it? He patted Han Xing's shoulder very well.

Han Xing tried his best to squeeze out a smiling face, and said with a flattered look: "This adult, the little one is doing business on the other side of the Narrow Sea on weekdays, and this time he came to Westeros to do business because of something, and the little one is called Root." "In fact, this squad leader is just a miscellaneous fish, and it is common to make some extra money by extorting merchant ships, although Han Xing smiled reluctantly, he only thought that Han Xing was worried about money or scared.

"Captain Root, you can see that you are a sensible person, and you must be very good at sea! If you need to go through King's Landing in the future, just report my name and you'll be fine! "Then the little boss was going to get out.

"Give your name? Hehe, tell me your name! As soon as Han Xing heard it, he knew that this guy was just bragging, but he had to pretend to be grateful on his face, and nodded vigorously.

Originally, this was the end, but I didn't expect a loud noise to suddenly come from below the deck, and the "plague god" was summoned.

When the guy left, he looked reluctant, moving two steps and stopping, and he didn't know whether he wanted to continue to enjoy Han Xing's compliments or felt that the wallet was not bulging enough.

Now Han Xing can be sure, he thinks Han Xing gave less, good guy, as soon as he heard the voice, he rushed back, like a monkey, not at all like when he left, Han Xing thought that he had committed something with his old cold legs!

"This rooted captain, I forgot to search the cabin, look at it, my memory, this is also my job, don't be surprised!" He continued to greet Han Xing without smiling, and secretly looked at Han Xing's expression with a thief's eyebrows, I am afraid that he wanted to see if Han Xing had a weak expression, if Han Xing showed a weak expression, it meant that Han Xing must have caught private goods, so he could extort a sum of money ruthlessly.

"Why did you forget your job when you took the money just now?" Han Xing said like this. But he had to pretend to be understanding and said, "That's, that's, since you're going to search, let's search!" In fact, this is Han Xing's ignorance, no matter whether there is contraband or not, normal businessmen will choose to break the bank again and avoid disasters instead of letting them search, after all, the "search" of this group of people is definitely not just a search, it is completely a big destruction.

Seeing that Han Xing refused to "make additional payment", the team leader thought that he was going to make hob meat, so he made a look, and the little minions below went to the cabin.

It didn't take long for them to come up with a person, and Han Xing looked at it, "My mother! It's Robert! "Not to mention, Robert is also an acting school, he doesn't resist at all, he looks like he is being slaughtered by others, if he uses his usual personality, I'm afraid he would have hammered them up a long time ago.

"Captain, this kid is sneaky, maybe it's a spy, so we'll arrest him." The minions said with a straight face, and one of them winked at the little boss.

Obviously, Robert may not really be sneaky, they may just have nothing to do, and they just catch random people to pick quarrels and provoke trouble.

Han Xing had an idea, went up and gave Robert a kick and said, "Dave, you idiot, are you greedy for my private money!" I know, I know, you have a crush on that little slut named Mila, are you going to steal the box of silver deer in my room to redeem that little slut! It's good to live with her and make a pair of double swallows? Han Xing pretended to kick Robert, and Robert also cooperated with bursts of screams and pleading, "Captain, I don't dare anymore!" "Spare me!"

Apparently, the little boss didn't care about Dave's problems, and his attention was drawn to a box of silver deer in Captain Root's room, and he immediately sent a few minions to search for it.

Soon a small minion came up with a wooden box the size of a gift box, and with his movement on the upper deck, the silver coins inside collided with each other, making a pleasant sound, and there were about 1,500 silver deer inside.

The team leader snatched the wooden box from his subordinates, and as soon as he opened it, he saw that it was shining with silver, and half a box of silver deer was lying in it, and he smiled greedily, and he took it and planned to leave.

Han Xing crawled over very cooperatively, hugged his thigh and cried: "My lord, this is my savings, you can't take it!" You can't, my lord! "A heart-rending and distressed look for money.

"Get out of here!" The little leader kicked Han Xing away with his foot, and ran back to their own boat with the box in his arms, Han Xing continued to pretend, "My money!" Half my life's savings! They wept for a while, and when they saw that their ship was far away, they got up from the ground.

"Hahahaha, look at his stupidity, he thinks he's made a lot of money! If he knew that 'Dave' was actually the most wanted criminal in China, Robert Baratheon, who offered a reward of 100,000 gold dragons, he would still vomit blood in anger! Han Xing pulled Robert up, the two looked at each other and laughed, Han Xing opened his mouth to tease the captain who wanted money.

"Damn it, Hanschel, how dare you kick my Duke Robert Baratheon!" Robert's face was long, Han Xing was suddenly startled, knowing that Robert suddenly laughed, Han Xing realized that he had fallen into the trap of "Robert-style" humor again.

"Hahaha! Damn, I almost believed I was a poor boy named Dave who wanted to marry a prostitute named Mila! Robert leaned back and laughed.

Han Xing and Robert encountered no obstacles on their journey after this, and after a few days, they were able to see the Storm's Breath Castle looming in the fog of the sea in the distance.
