59 The Black Cat and the Knight
The seeds have been scattered, whether they can germinate or not depends on the will of God, as a five-year-old child who can't even get out of the castle, Lan Li can only honestly wait for news at the moment.
This method is actually not very good, after all, aristocratic marriage has never simply looked at the wishes and personal conditions of the two parties, but for the time being, he is ready to take one step at a time, maybe his irascible old brother's temper will really come to a "swear not to wear".
Another effective way to solve this problem is to kill the adulterer or one of them, but the future queen is still in the west, and her own brother and adulterer Jaime are in the Red Keep, but except for a few times, he has been staying in the White Sword Tower, the base camp of the Kingsguard.
When Lan Li visited Barristan, the Kingsguard, he saw the other party wearing a white robe leaning against the tower window, but most of the time he couldn't see a shadow.
Of course, even if someone comes out, Lan Li doesn't think he can really kill him-
Not to mention anything else, as the youngest Kingsguard in history, that one is called Jaime. The existence of the Lannisters is not something that can be dealt with by just anyone, unless they use some kind of indiscriminate means.
Unfortunately, the price of high status is to be noticed, and it is inevitable that material enjoyment will attract unnecessary attention, and it is simply difficult to do something.
……
After Stannis left, Lan Li returned with two guards towards Megar Tower, but before he could reach the place, he suddenly heard a scream and a loud noise.
"Why did you tell me to give it to you? Old man, are you in the same league as this black cat? A rough and fierce roar came from a garden verandah, which caught Lan Li's attention, and when he looked intently, he saw that it was the two cowardly twins of the Redwin family.
They were talking to a figure blocked by a pillar, and Lan Li felt that the figure seemed familiar, so she stepped closer.
"I don't care what you say, get out of the way, or I'll go tell my dad!" The thick voice continued to shout, while another child's voice began to complain.
"It's scratching my face, why are we letting it go?"
Lan Li glanced at them and saw that the tall man of the twins was carrying a black cat with ropes tied to its limbs, constantly kicking and writhing and screaming, and he could see who the one standing opposite the twins was - it was none other than Barristan, one of the only two Kingsguards left in the Red Keep.
"The gods didn't make us cruel to animals, children." The white-robed knight said solemnly: "Let it go, if you want a toy, I can ask the servant to find it for you." ”
"We don't want toys, we want this." The big boy raised his hand as he spoke, and gestured to the black cat in his hand that was tied up with five flowers, and his ugly face full of freckles was full of pride.
"That's right, I don't care what you say, he tickled my brother!" So declared the short boy.
As soon as these words came out, the tall boy was not happy.
"I'm my brother! As we said before, whoever grows taller is my brother, and you see I'm already much taller than you this year. ”
"That doesn't count." The short man said forcefully: "Everyone knows that I am the elder brother, and you are the younger brother!" ”
"Then you should give me your toys, because our dad said that my brother should let my brother go."
"No, everything belongs to my brother, and our father also said that the toys on the entire Qingting Island will be mine in the future."
"Then I'm the elder brother, and you're the younger brother!"
……
The two of them seemed to start to get up as they spoke, and the white-robed knight who was hanging on the side was a little embarrassed by this, as if he didn't know what to do, Lan Li felt that this situation was simply stupid, so he stepped forward and patted the slightly taller boy on the shoulder from behind.
The other party subconsciously turned around to look at him, and then he felt a lightness in his hand, and looked down to see that the cat that was originally in his hand had been held in the other party's arms.
"What are you doing?" He asked dumbfoundedly, as if he hadn't reacted a bit.
"This cat is mine now." Lan Li declared.
"Why is it yours?" The short boy asked, wrinkling his nose.
"This is what we caught!"
"Who saw that you caught it?" Lan Li asked rhetorically.
"My servants saw it, and they all saw it." The tall boy replied.
Lan Li didn't speak, but looked sideways at the two guards who followed behind him. So one of them spoke: "This is what our young master Lan Li caught, otherwise how could it be in the hands of our young master." ”
"That's right, look at my face, I was scratched in order to catch it." The other covered his face as he spoke, and snorted in pain.
This made the twin brother who embroidered grapes on his chest a little dumbfounded, and after touching his scratched face and stunned for a moment, the big man whispered to the short man: "He bullied us." ”
Needless to say, it can be seen that the expression on the short boy's face has become fierce, and he seems to want to get up and fight when he stares at each other, but after glaring at the other party for a while and not seeing anything, he will be instigated first.
After snorting, he pulled his brother and turned his head away.
"Wait and see!" As he walked, he shouted, "I'm going to call my dad to beat you!" ”
His words did not get a response from the brunette boy, but his twin brother tugged at his sleeve.
"Our dad isn't here." He whispered, "And I can't beat them." ”
"What then?" The short man was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "Didn't you say it earlier?" If only I had known my grandmother's name. ”
The twins' grandmother is called Olenna Redwin, who is also from the Redwin family, but she married into the Tyrell family of the High Court, known as the Queen of Thorns, and her name is very loud in them, and in the hearts of the twins she is even better than their father.
"Grandma isn't here anymore." The big man said, his eyes rolling, "But we can go to his big brother." We've discovered the secret passage, but we haven't decided to give us any credit, so I'm going to ask for the cat! No, it's too little...... We want all the cats in the Red Keep. ”
"This is a good idea!" The short man nodded in agreement, but then he hesitated, and after glancing at the servant following behind him, he whispered close to his brother's ear: "But the secret passage incident was told to us by that stinky fart Lan Li first, which is a bit unpleasant." ”
"Who said that?" The big man retorted when he heard this: "It's obvious that we thought of it ourselves!" ”
The short man scratched his head, then nodded, "That's right, we thought of it ourselves." ”
The two children looked at each other, and then rushed to the throne room, ready to make the request official, while the future king was receiving the petitioners and nobles.
Lan Li didn't know what the hell the hell these two cowards were doing, and he was now holding the cat in his arms, facing the preaching of the person in front of him.
"Snatching is not a good solution, kid." The white-robed knight Barristan said to him solemnly, "It's not a good habit either. ”
"But it's the quickest solution." Lan Li replied confidently.
Because he was looking for an opportunity to run to the cellar before, he communicated with the person in front of him a lot, although it was just a means of cover, but after coming and going, they were also familiar.
"That being said, we should reason with them and tell them what they should and shouldn't do, so that we can solve the problem at the root."
"And how long have you been talking to them, Sir?" Lan Li asked curiously, "Does it have an effect?" ”
These words made the other party a little speechless, and then shook his head helplessly, looking at the cat who had become very honest in Lan Li's arms for some reason, and he suddenly said, "Its name is Bellerion." When I first met him, he was a kitten, just like his owner. ”
The voice seemed to be a little gloomy, and Lan Li was quite strange about it, but the other party's words did not stop, staring at the black cat and muttering, as if falling into memory.
"At that time, the atmosphere in the Red Fort was very oppressive, everything King Aerys was doing was becoming more and more unbearable, and the little girl was our only pistachio. I remember one time she saw that a few of us were in a bad mood, and she went to dance a dance for us, Donne's dance, I have never seen such a beautiful dance in my life, and I will never see it again. ”
"Jazz is talking about Rhaenys?" Lan Li asked.
The name was the same as the one he remembered, but it wasn't actually a person, but the daughter of Prince Rhaegar and his wife of Dorne, whom Lan Li hadn't met, but had heard of, and seemed to be younger than him.
"Yes, Rhaenys, a very beautiful little girl." Barristan nodded, as if he had thought of something, and the expression on his face was both painful and remorseful, making Lan Li unconsciously think of his strange appearance when he first met him.
However, the white-robed knight didn't say much, but sighed and saluted to Lan: "Gods have mercy, take care of it, child, I beg you, if you want to raise it, then take care of it, don't let it hurt again." ”
"I'm not going to hurt it." Lan Li said as he looked down at the black cat in his arms, which was quite famous in the Red Castle, and said thoughtfully: "But I can't guarantee that it won't hurt me." ”
Barristan, whose gloomy face said this, couldn't help but laugh, and then squatted down and patted Lan Li's arm.
"It looks like it likes you, and I'm sure it won't."
"I hope so." Lan Li replied, raising his hand and touching the cat's nose as he spoke, so he heard the other party's voice meow weakly, and a pair of light blue cat eyes looked at the black-haired boy like a shy little girl.
Little girl?
Lan Li felt as if she was thinking a little too much.
