The banquet was very lively, with jugglers and fat gogosters taking turns performing magic and acrobatics and other entertainment, as well as singers and bards.

The Bend is the temple of the arts of the Seven Kingdoms, and the castle of the High Court is the center of the temple, and the Tyrells are home to a large number of bards, who play and sing quietly throughout the castle, sometimes gathering together to play together.

It's just that even though some of these people are among the best players in the Seven Kingdoms, and their music is generally beautiful and moving, when an old song in praise of the Tyrells sounds, their previous performances are still overshadowed.

The song is called "The Golden Rose", and most of the bards from all over the Seven Kingdoms play and sing it, because the favorite place of the bard is the Riverlands, and this song is a song in praise of the Tyrells family, the kings of the Riverlands.

Obviously, this is not a new song, and the lyrics about a rose growing from a bud and blooming with brilliant charm have made many of the nobles attending the banquet more ripe, but when the steady and magnetic voice sings this ballad, it still attracts the attention of everyone in the banquet hall.

The reason is not only the noble status of the singer, but more importantly, the singing voice that echoes in the hall sounds very moving!

It's not just that the voice is good, but there is a special charm in the song that attracts people's souls to drift with the song, and with the singing of the song, people's hearts are more and more agitated, and in a trance, it seems to see an inconspicuous rose in the flower bush blooming with thousands of brilliance, and the endless temperament rises leisurely.

The white and gorgeous hall was originally quite lively, but with the sound of this song, all the chaotic sounds disappeared directly, and everyone listened quietly, with a more or less intoxicated posture on their faces.

It was not until the end of the brief singing that they all broke away from that unique state, or sighed in amazement, or still immersed in the afterglow of the song with joy on their faces, or gazed at the tall figure in the center of the hall holding the wooden harp and bowing with fiery eyes, or applauded and cheered enthusiastically to express their love.

"I lost my last bet, otherwise I would have heard Lan Li sing the song of the Dorn's wife." In the midst of thunderous applause in the hall, Garland, a brown-haired boy in the crowd, said to his companion with regret: "It's exciting just to imagine." ”

"What is the wife of the Dorne, I would have preferred him to sing the song that William's wife is soaked." Mark, who raised the monkey, sighed: "It's just that he definitely can't sing, Lan Li is too serious." ”

"He said he was leaving tomorrow, so let's get him drunk tonight."

Garland whispered, "Drunk him, I don't believe he can get serious!" ”

"That's a little bit unusual, is it?" Mark hesitated.

"What's wrong, listen to me, let's ...... like this"

……

"The song sung by Lord Lan Li is simply amazing!"

The two guys over there had bad intentions, and a couple of little girls got together and chattered.

"When will I be able to sing such a beautiful song like an adult?"

"Come on, Arran, sooner or later you will be able to do it."

"I hope it will be like this, but unfortunately the adults are leaving, and I can't ask him for advice...... Alas, why did he go? ”

"I don't know."

"Let's go and tell him to leave later!"

"It's better not to do it, Lord Lan Li must have something to do......"

……

The little girls chattered innocently, but after talking for a long time, they found that someone who was usually the most active had been pursing their lips and sulking, and they couldn't help but be surprised.

"Margaery, why don't you speak?" A chubby little girl blinked her eyes and asked, "Are you in a bad mood?" ”

"I don't want to discuss that stingy guy's song!" The other party replied sullenly: "He promised me to sing a song before leaving, but he actually sang it at the banquet, what is this!" ”

"Why can't you sing it at a banquet?" The fat girl's expression was dazed, and the other two girls here were also confused by this.

"I said I promised to give you a gift, and I gave it to everyone, would you be happy?"

The girls looked at each other at each other, and one of them pouted, "You're so stingy, Margaery. ”

"That's right, you don't like us sharing your gift?"

"We've never shared gifts with you before, have we?"

"Aren't we friends, Margaery?"

"How can this be considered stingy? And you don't understand it or not. The little girl was even more depressed.

……

The banquet held by the High Court was not a sitting and still feast, at this time the noble men and women in the white hall were moving freely, and after the song was played, a dwarf circus occupied the center of the vast hall and performed hard, so most people's eyes were attracted to it.

Some of them came to talk to Lan Li, many of them were some of the noblewomen of the river, but when the silver-haired duchess appeared, these "ill-intentioned" fellows withdrew one by one with great interest.

"Are you sure you don't need a bachelor on the road?" The years had added some wrinkles to Madame Ellery's face in a gorgeous gown, but her strict personality had not changed at all, and not long ago when Lan Li told her that she would leave tomorrow, she took the initiative to start doing it.

"The road is too far, in case you get sick, it's not good to find a bachelor to treat you on the road."

"I'll pay more attention to that." Lan Li replied softly.

He had great respect for the duchess in front of him, for his adoptive mother was not so much the cunning old lady as the one in front of him. Etiquette teaching, food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, ten years of life were all handled by Madame Ellery, and she treated Lan Li with the same attitude as she did with her sons, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"There will be a lot of castles along the way, and if you really want to get sick, you can stop and get treatment nearby."

"It's not convenient after all, maybe it's too late."

"It's okay, I'm measured." Lan Li replied, and the other party sighed when he saw this: "Okay, since you insist." ”

Then Madame Ellerly gave a lot of instructions, including some matters that needed attention on the road, including the arrangements for the entourage, including clothing and food. Later, her eldest son, Villas, also approached Lan Li, who did not say so much, except that he would use ravens to keep in touch with Lan Li, and that the Knights of the Silver Hand would not disband Yun Yun.

In fact, Lan Li had the best relationship with Velas in the High Court, but they didn't think that this separation was serious, so although they were sad, they didn't feel too sentimental.

Later, the members of the Knights in the High Court also came up to talk to him, the temperamental Garland, the humorous Mark, the rather dull Cemford, and the reservists of the Order, Loras, the youngest brother of Vilas.

Compared with his two brothers, Loras, the little who is close to "Lan Li" in his memory, is really not very old, and his appearance in his teens makes him unable to blend in with the circle of adults for the time being, but he admires Lan Li a lot, and is also very active in joining the circle of "brothers".

Unfortunately, after the birthday dinner ended, the farewell banquet held by the members of the Knights for Lan Li directly excluded him, for the very simple reason that he was not too old to drink.

The long banquet lasted until the second half of the night, and glass after glass of wine poured into his stomach one after another, relying on his extraordinary physique, Lan Li's alcohol consumption was simply bottomless, and he had basically never been drunk since he was a child.

Relatively speaking, the others were not so lucky, one by one they were dizzy and couldn't find the north, and when Lan Li left the high court the next day, those people hadn't even gotten up yet, which somewhat dispelled some of the sadness of parting.

After bidding farewell to those familiar faces of Gao Ting, a team of dozens of people set off on the road, the continuous sound of horses' hooves and the sound of wheels was endless, and the white castle behind him slowly shrank, and finally it was as far away as the stars in the sky, but the road ahead gradually broadened and became more and more complicated as it moved forward.

It's just that in the middle of the third day of the team's departure, when they were camping in the wilderness, an unexpected person quietly visited—

Megger. Targaryen.
