The storm in the castle seemed to have finally dissipated after a night of rage, and the one of the four red-robed monks who had used the child to carry out the conspiracy had died suddenly, and the other three red-robed monks were severely punished by hanging from the castle wall and locked in a narrow iron cage, hoping to kill them slowly with sunlight and crows.

This kind of punishment has a long statute of limitations, but the deterrent effect is very strong, at least some of the peasants and merchants who heard the movement and came to the outside of the castle to watch were shocked and in awe, of course, there are also those who do not think so much and simply point and watch the excitement.

Outsiders don't know what happened inside the castle, but the red-robed monk who was usually invited as a guest by the Earl has now received this kind of treatment, which naturally caused a lot of discussion.

"My cousin's son is in charge of delivering cabbage to the castle, and I heard him say that those guys are a bunch of liars who can only eat and drink, and have no real skills." Someone said serious nonsense: "And he also molested Lord Tully's maid." ”

……

"I said they couldn't save Master Sam."

……

"I heard that the king's brother is visiting inside, and these guys must have angered people......"

……

Outside the castle, there have been people who have come to see the excitement and commented on it, and the same is true inside the castle, or most of the people in the castle are also continuing to pay attention to this matter, either explicitly or secretly. Although it seems that the matter is over, Pan is a smart person who can see clearly, and this matter has just begun.

"How the hell did Lan Li do it?"

In the training ground in the courtyard of the castle, holding his chest and looking at the scene of a chubby dun in the field and constantly practicing with the head of the coach, Mark, a thin and tall knight member, couldn't help but ask.

The little monkey standing on his shoulder also chirped a few times, and unconsciously let the little fat man who was trained look over, only to be reprimanded by the head of Jiaoling for being distracted.

"He always said he could see it by looking at his expression."

Ignoring the noise in the training ground, Garland, a brown-haired boy in leather armor, said helplessly after hearing this: "Slight expressions, eyes, etc., in short, he said so, but we have all experimented, but no one can see what is going on in someone's heart like him." ”

"There must be a secret."

Mark couldn't help but say, "A special technique of coercing confessions!" ”

Even though the night had passed, the scene from last night was still vivid.

The effect of the young leader's words was very amazing, and the red-robed monk who led the way at first didn't say anything, but then he collapsed directly, saying whatever he asked, without hiding it at all. The scene of crying a person as an understatement is very shocking when you think about it, and it also makes Mark's heart excited.

"I'm going to learn this with the regiment leader, I have to learn, it's much more fun than raising monkeys!" As he said this, the monkey on his shoulder bounced along with him, as if in agreement.

"Then you go and learn." Next to him, Garland glanced at Wen Yan's companion: "He will definitely let you go back and look in the mirror." ”

"What do you do in the mirror?"

"You'll know if you take it." The brown-haired teenager shrugged.

His companion didn't realize what he meant for a while, but Garland didn't pay much attention to him, turned his head and continued to watch the little fat man in the school field being trained, but his mind had been thinking about what happened last night.

The black-haired companion's confession extraction technique is mysterious and incomprehensible, but after years of contact, Garland is actually used to it, so he has more thoughts on it than the excitement of the people around him.

Last night's forced confession went very smoothly, but in fact, the red-robed monk didn't explain anything in the end, just vigorously claimed that this was a task assigned to them by the superiors, not their original intention.

And working with the Targaryens is even less of a matter for their executors......

It's hard not to let Garland pay attention to the word Targaryen, after all, it's only been more than ten years since the era of the Targaryen dynasty's rule, but over the years, everyone has basically gotten the information that the Targaryen bloodline has declined, and only two brothers and sisters remain, one big and one young, and there are no waves left at all.

How did they reach a cooperation with those red-robed monks now?

The brown-haired boy wondered about this, and was a little worried about his dark-haired companion.

It is said that the power of the red-robed monks is very large on the side of the free trade city-states, and if they do have their support, then Baratheon will definitely be in trouble.

……

"The basis for cooperation is naturally interests."

Many people outside were talking about this, and in a quiet study room in the castle, Lan Li was also talking to Lan Dao, the owner of Jiaoling. Tully talks about it.

"For those of the Red God Sect, missionary Westeros is a benefit, and it is more convenient to support a royal regime that is close to them, or even under their control, at least, if they can do it, it will be much easier for them to find something."

The young man's words were quite calm, and he could not hear at all that what he was saying had a lot to do with his own reality.

"Just this alone is not enough for those people to take such a big risk to participate in this power struggle, or in other words, it is impossible for a few Targaryen orphans to cooperate with a religious force, because the strength is not enough, the probability of success is very low, and no matter how big the interests are, it is useless."

"We can't know the specifics, but it's clear that the Targaryens have other allies, allies strong enough to give confidence to the red-robed monks." He concluded, his gaze never taking off the face of the bald middle-aged aristocrat sitting behind his desk.

"What do you think, Count Tully?"

"Poison is a trick only women and eunuchs play." Hearing this, the middle-aged nobleman sneered and said, "They even want to use my daughter, a little girl who is less than ten years old. What do I think, you ask? ”

He didn't say it explicitly, but picked up a sheathed sword leaning next to the chair and placed it on the table with a clatter.

"This sword is called Heartbreaker, and it has been passed down in the Tali family for over five hundred years, and it has killed too many enemies to count—and a few more Targaryens."

Lan Li smiled when he heard this, silently feeling the emotions transmitted from the other party, and he suddenly said: "The red-robed monk claims that they have no accomplices near Jiaoling, but there is another group of people who have designed to lure our knights out of the High Court, so I guess this is another collaborator of theirs, or rather, another group of cooperating forces." ”

"I'll send someone to investigate." Count Tully said without hesitation.

"The red-robed monks belong to the old disciples' organization, and maybe those disciples are also with them." Lan Li said: "And the figures of the disciples are all over the seven kingdoms. ”

"I'll send troops to hunt down those in the realm—" Count Tarly said, his words abrupt.

"What do you mean?"

"We can't know when they came to work with the Targaryens, but those disciples have been active in Westeros for almost a decade." Lan Li said: "What have they done?" ”

Earl Tully frowned when he heard this, and Lan Li stood up from his chair and said meaningfully, "I am going to set off at once to visit the lords of the riverbend, who may be eager to know the news. ”

The middle-aged nobleman took a deep look at Lan Li when he heard this, and then suddenly got up.

"I'm with you!"
