101 The Judgment of the Seven Sons (24)

Although it is a bit strange, in fact, relying on the super long hearing, Lan Li can distinguish the frequency and characteristics of a person's footsteps, and then find many problems.

Now, for example, when riding a horse through a crowded street, he could faintly hear the sound of powerful but unconcealed footsteps hanging behind him, and the sound did not disappear wherever he went, even deliberately in the middle of nowhere.

This made Lan Li quickly determine something, so he rode his horse into a dirty alley when he passed through a dirty alley. Then he sat upside down on horseback, picked up the short bow from the horse bag and put the arrow on it, and silently aimed the tip at the exit of the alley.

He didn't have to wait long before a tall figure in a black cloak turned around the corner, and then he saw the bow and arrow pointing at him in the depths of the alley.

The visitor looked stunned, but he didn't seem to panic, his face hidden under the hood of the cloak was faint, and the black beard around his chin was very obvious.

"A knight with a bow?" The steady voice spoke, but the footsteps did not come closer again. Obviously, if something is not good, he will probably run away from here directly through the exit behind his back.

"Why are you stalking me?"

Lan Li asked, looking at the hazy face under the hood, feeling very unfamiliar.

"I guess there's a reason." The other party replied, as if he wanted to liven up the atmosphere, and his tone was slightly humorous.

"Mind putting your bow down first? Sir Lemon, this makes me a little uncomfortable. ”

"If I put it down, maybe I'm not feeling well." Lan Li responded coldly: "Say it quickly, my patience is limited. ”

"You don't look like an impulsive knight." The other party said so, but seeing that the bowstring in Lan Li's hand was tightened, he hurriedly took a half step back.

"Okay, okay, I'll say it now, but are you sure you want to be here?"

"I think it's nice here."

Lan Li understood the meaning of his words, but was unmoved.

His sensitive ears allow him to hear a lot of noise around him, so although the other party may be looking for him to keep something secret, he doesn't think that someone is eavesdropping on him and can't find out.

What's more, he didn't trust this stranger.

"If you insist." The other party hesitated for a moment when he heard this, then took a few steps forward, and whispered under Lan Li's vigilant gaze: "My name is Raymont, Raymont Baratheon. ”

Baratheon?

The familiar surname made Lan Li squint unconsciously, but then he reacted.

Raymont Baratheon.

He had heard the name both in historical sources and in recent times. A member of the Baratheon family in the current era, one of King Inis's Kingsguards, he heroically saved the king's life when the Red Keep was infiltrated by members of the frenzied Poor Man's Assembly.

Of course, that was the original history, and in the current history, it was not the king himself who was assassinated, but one of his sons, and I don't know if it was this one who rescued him.

"You're looking for me?" Despite this, Lan Li had already expected what he would say before he spoke.

Sure enough, the first thing the other party said was about his attendant "Igo".

"I know Prince Jaehaerys is hidden by you."

"What did you say?" Lan Li asked pretending to be puzzled.

He wasn't sure if it was the Kingsguard Raymont Baratheon, so he wouldn't admit it outright.

Seeing this, the other party didn't care, and said to himself: "I heard the news of the little prince from the two beggars, and I have been inquiring in King's Landing for a long time, and finally it is you, Sir Lemon, the illegitimate son of the Osgray family in Riverbend...... The son of the man who took Prince Jaehaerys away. ”

As he spoke, his beard shaking, as if he were laughing.

"Am I right?"

"So you're going to snatch him out of my hands?" Lan Li asked rhetorically.

The other party was stunned when he heard this, and then his words were stunned.

"You're going to admit it?"

"I have no reason not to admit it." Lan Li replied calmly: "Especially since you seem to be sure that I did it, so why bother quibbling." ”

This made this Baratheon surprised, but he did not hesitate, seeing that Lan Li was still holding a bow and arrow pointing at him, he spoke: "There is no news about the little prince from the church, so I guess you did not hand him over to the church at all, but hid it yourself, what is your purpose?"

"Purpose......

Lan Li thought for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "A dragon egg? ”

If he wants to say the truth, the other party won't believe it at all, and being a bad person for no reason is obviously not a reason. Therefore, the motivation for installing a coveting dragon egg is much more reasonable, and it would be a good thing if you could really get a dragon egg.

It's the same nature as the last time he fooled Rhaenys.

These words silenced the other party for a moment, but when he spoke again, he seemed to relax a lot.

"Well, I'll understand if you say that, but I can't grant you such a request for Your Majesty, so you'll need to wait for news. It's just that I want to ask, what is the current situation of His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

"If you want me to say, he probably gained a lot of weight." Lan Li asked, "Would you like to meet him?" ”

"Where is he?" The other party hurriedly asked, obviously not expecting such a "good thing".

"Sihuai Sanctuary." Lan Li replied.

These words made the Imperial Forest Iron Guard stunned, and the eyes under the hood then glanced deeply at Lan Li, and then said: "Ten days later, at dusk, I will wait for you under the statue in the Fishermen's Square, with His Majesty's reply." ”

He turned around and walked away, without the slightest hesitation or attempt to extract information.

It wasn't until the footsteps faded away that Lan Li put down her bow and arrows, and then fell into deep thought.

It is understandable that the other party did not search for it with great fanfare, and it must be because they were afraid that the enemies of the royal family, especially the church, would get the news and take the lead in finding the little prince, but it would be a bit subtle to send a royal guard to find someone.

The Kingsguard to protect the king is a very honorable position, there are only seven places in the country, in a sense, they are actually no different from stars, and there are destined to be no fewer people who know them.

Of course, that was the situation of the Imperial Guards later, and it wasn't clear how the Iron Guards were born not long after the current era.

It's just that as a close friend of the king's side, there is a good chance of being recognized.

Lan Li thought that if he were to be himself, he would not be able to let a Kingsguard do this kind of thing that needed to be done in secret, but Ennis did just that......

Is he really stupid to that point?

Lan Li didn't think it was because he was stupid, but he guessed that it might be because the king didn't have anyone else available. And if this is really the case, the meaning behind it has to make people think deeply......

Thinking about it, he shook his head, feeling that this kind of Game of Thrones seemed quite annoying in any era.

……

Upon returning to the Sanctuary, the squire Igo was busy drying the rainbow cloak of the Warrior's Son, and the little man stepped on a stool to hang the cloak on the clothesline, and his body looked a little shaky.

Seeing this, Lan Li stepped forward to take the cloak and put it on himself, and then chatted with the little fellow for a while, but did not tell him the news of the Kingsguard, but beckoned him to come and help unload the new armor he was wearing and brought back from the blacksmith's shop.

The new armor includes a barrel-shaped helmet, a well-fitting breastplate, handguards, leg armor, steel boots, and a complete set of parts of knight's plate armor, which are silver-plated and sparkle in the sun, making it look quite handsome, and not much different from the standard armor of the sons of warriors.

However, on the right edge of the breastplate there was an inconspicuous bulge of metal blocking metal, and the master blacksmith made a small mechanism on this point to allow the novelty part to be easily retracted and put down.

Lan Li had experimented with it when he was in the blacksmith shop before, and it felt no different from the gun mount in his impression, and Lan Li had another idea about this new accessory, but he hadn't figured out how to operate it yet.

In the current situation, it seems that there is no need to be in a hurry.

So, after removing his armor, he looked outside, and then stepped into an alley clearing where he was accustomed to go.

After arriving, the emaciated figure who had been looking around there spotted him immediately, so he hurriedly rushed over, his cheeks covered by long black hair were full of excitement and pride, and at the same time handed him something in his hand.

It was a light gray cotton slipper with a sharp front and a wide back, and the surface of the slipper was inlaid with some small pieces of purple garnet, which shone slightly in the sun, and looked like it had just been brushed, and it looked quite clean.

But it's only one, not a pair.

But Lan Li was sure that when the girl stole the slippers, it must have been a pair and not one, and as for why there was only one, it was naturally because the remaining one was her own collection.

That's right, it was stealing, not her own, and although there was no evidence, Lan Li was pretty sure about it.

He sighed as a result, feeling that he really had a long way to go.
