The translucent-looking yellow scorpion cautiously poked its head out from the shadow of the rocks where it was hiding, paused for a moment, and then sped away in the direction of the riverbank outside.

It's just that it has only run a few steps when a foot wearing a thick rope sandal with leggings suddenly falls from the sky, and the yellow scorpion is trampled on the ground, and the heart-wrenching crunch is accompanied by the bright green slurry that emerges from the shell being crushed, cruelly revealing the death of an innocent life.

After looking down at the soles of his feet, the owner of this foot did not feel pity for this, but rubbed the ground with his feet in a gloomy manner, splashing dust.

The scorching sun shrouded the riverbank here, distorting and hazy everything around it.

The murky river behind him flowed slowly, and on the bank sat a beautiful woman wearing a red dress trimmed with silver trim and her hair was short and messy. Now she was staring at the sweaty man not far away, with his naked upper body still hot, or at least at the stone in front of him.

On that relatively flat stone, pieces of thinly cut white snake flesh were pasted down by the man one after another, and the hot rock surface seemed to have become a long-heated iron pot at this time, and after a while, it played its undue role, grease flowed out, and the sound was sizzling.

The process of snake meat from raw to cooked is accompanied not only by the change of color, but also by the emanation of a special fragrance, and when a dagger inserts them all into a string, and then approaches, this emanation attracts the attention of the woman on the riverbank.

It's just that after she looked at the dagger, she couldn't help but remind this black-haired and brown-skinned hook-nosed man, that is, Lan Li.

"This dagger is poisonous."

"What's poisonous?"

"You used it yesterday to squeeze snake venom ......"

"Yesterday was yesterday, today is today. Don't worry, it's long gone. ”

"Really?" The little queen looked at each other with a suspicious gaze.

"Even if there were, the right toxins would make this thing taste a little better." Lan Li said, raising his hand and pulling out a piece of snake meat to put in his mouth to chew.

"It also relieves the pain."

So Rhaenys let out a sigh, took the dagger carefully, and then lowered her head and ate it.

Lan Li nodded with satisfaction when he saw this, feeling that this lively and willful little queen recorded in the history books seemed to be quite easy to get along with.

Whether it was for the hair at the beginning, or some things later, as long as the reason was clearly explained, this person would accept it silently, and he did not give opinions and emotions indiscriminately.

It's just that curiosity is really serious.

……

At this time, it was the third day after the other party woke up, and after a short replenishment of energy, Lan Li picked her up and continued on the road, while hoarse inquiries kept coming from behind.

"They say that your lords of the Dorn, and even the lord's wife, openly keep mistresses and mistresses? Most people still like the same sex, is that really the case? ”

"Do you think I look like a lord?"

"I've heard that you advocate love and lust, and that marriage and succession are only obligations, maybe because of that?"

Lan Li didn't speak, but the other party didn't stop.

"Are you Dornites familiar with any of this? I mean, there are poisonous snakes in the desert? ”

"Are you familiar with your home?" Lan Li asked.

"Of course I know, I've been on Dragonstone since I was a child—" She didn't react until she was halfway through speaking, and then she choked on her voice, but after a while, the problem arose again.

"Why are you saving me? Just because you want dragon eggs? ”

"Otherwise, what else?"

"Do you have a lot of enemies in Dorne, for example? Hate makes you choose to be on our side? You...... You robbed your fiancée? ”

"That's right, I was publicly divorced by my fiancée, and then made a three-year contract."

"Really? So what's the convention? Duel? ”

"Are you sure you're thirty-five?"

“……”

"Can you sing? Sing a song, I'm feeling a little bored. ”

"No, it won't."

"Good jazz, sing one, just one."

"Not really, and I'm not a knight."

"You like men?"

……

The weather was already sweltering, and as she kept advancing, she was always talking about it on her back, which made Lan Li feel like a swarm of flies were buzzing around her ears.

He wondered if he had acted too harmless to make this man so relaxed. But she didn't see the other party show a hint of thoughtfulness on his back, but then her expression changed to consternation, and then exclaimed.

Because they fell into the river next to them!

The exclamation was accompanied by a popping sound, and the turbid water instantly engulfed the two of them, and after a few mouthfuls of water unexpectedly, Rhaenys barely grabbed a stone to stabilize her body, but found that a pair of hands were pulling her in the water, so she couldn't help screaming.

"What are you doing?"

No one responded to her, and when she saw that she couldn't pull it down, the hands disappeared without a trace. The little queen's face was full of anger at this time, but it immediately turned into remorse.

Because the faint sound of horses' hooves came from the direction of the upper reaches of the river, and it was getting louder and louder!

"Lan Li, where are you? Someone's coming! She whispered, but there was no sound in the flowing river, and she scanned her surroundings with no shelter to hide.

Rhaenys gritted her teeth, then took a deep breath and clenched her nose as she lurked.

Dragonstone is an island off the east coast of Westeros, and it is impossible for the first queen of the Targaryen dynasty to be unwaterable.

However, it was too late for her to hide, and with the sound of horses' hooves, the three Dorne riders were hurrying towards the place, apparently aware of the movement.

At first, they may have only noticed the noise and did not know the specific situation, but when they got close to a certain distance, the first dark-skinned rider suddenly saw the yellow cloak that had quietly fallen off on the riverbank, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and then shouted angrily.

"It's that dragon bitch, come on!"

As he spoke, he turned over and dismounted, then grabbed his spear and rushed over, leaving the other two hurriedly dismounting.

The slightly murky river did not look unusual at this time, but the experienced riders could already see the faint footprints of a person rushing around them and the traces of falling water.

So one of the riders stayed on the shore and kept an eye on it, while the other two drew their daggers and hurried into the river, ready to take the people out of the river.

It's just that just after they got into the river, the one on the bank suddenly felt a tightness in his feet and neck, and then he didn't have any time to react, and a huge pulling force came! With a sigh of surprise, the emaciated rider of Dorne was dragged into the river.

The rider struggled so hard that the river splashed, but when a sharp object slashed across his neck, he lost most of his strength in an instant.

It all happened quickly, and when the exclamation sounded, the two swimmers in the river looked back, only to see the stunned eyes of their companions, and the continuous blood flowing from the neck covered by their hands.

The convulsive corpse fluttered with the flow of the river, and the surging red liquid spread across the surface of the river in the process, leaving the remaining two riders shuddering.

"It's the traitor!" One roared and swam reflexively towards the riverbank, while the other continued on his way, regardless of the fact that not far away he could see a dim, slender figure hiding in the water against the stones!

As he walked forward, he faintly saw the beautiful cheeks of the other party's river that were becoming more and more frightened, which made the Dorns seem to be full of strength, and the water clapping hand also tried to reach forward and grasp the enemy as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, in the end, he still failed to catch the target he wanted, although the distance was already close, but at this moment, a dagger silently stretched out from the water and crossed his neck, and at the same time, his hand holding the dagger was also tightly grasped.

A drenched black-haired figure floated next to him, his body that was shielded from the sun looked unusually tall, and a pair of brown eyes looked down quietly.

The brown-haired Dornite shuddered at this, and immediately shouted without looking back, but it was only the tall being beside him who cast a shadow on him in response.

"He's dead, and now you're the only one left."

"How is that possible?" The Dorn, in particular, replied in disbelief, but the absence of any noise behind him made him sink to the bottom.

As soon as he found out that he was being attacked, he and his companions began to act in a tacit manner, one continued to swim into the water towards his target, and the other turned ashore to shoot the enemy.

This way, no matter which one of them the enemy chooses to attack, the other will be able to achieve their goal successfully.

But don't you want the person next to you to be so fast?

Ignoring what the enemy thought, the black-haired figure, that is, Lan Li opened his mouth to order.

"Now, go ashore."

"You're a traitor!" The brown-haired Dornite floating on the water looked hateful.

Lan Li was indifferent to this, he tightened the dagger in his hand, and threatened: "This is coated with the poison of the red-thorn scorpion, if you don't listen, I will tell you to taste it." ”

"The water will wash away your poison, traitor!" The Dornes spat at him.

"Want to try it?"

The brown-haired Dorn's face turned blue and red when he heard this, and finally glared at Lan Li unwillingly, and was forced to walk towards the shore.

He may have the idea of looking for an opportunity to fight back, and this opportunity was when he climbed ashore, but unfortunately the enemy moved one step ahead of him, and before he could completely go ashore, the other party directly hit his vital point with his knee, and the sudden birth of severe pain made the Dorn's strength dissipate in an instant, and the screams and wails could not help but let out, and when he was dragged ashore to recover his strength, the dagger had already fallen on the surface of his neck again.

"What's going on at Fort Hellgate?" Lan Li then asked.

"I won't tell you, traitor!"

"Aegon hasn't come yet?"

"He's scared, we've killed a dragon!" The brown-haired Dorn, who was pressed to the surface of the loess, proudly proclaimed, and a smile appeared on his tanned red face.

"So he really didn't come." Lan Li muttered, unconsciously glancing at the woman who followed her to the shore, and the other party was also quietly listening to all this at this time, frowning.

Apparently he had fallen into this simple language trap, and the Dornite who reacted was so angry that he turned his head to stare at Lan Li on the surface, and said in a resentful tone, "You won't end well, traitor!" Neither you nor your dragon bitch will end well! All the Lords of Dorne are wanted by you, and even if no one knows you're here now, they'll always know! Yes, wait and see! They'll always know! ”

"That's obviously not now." Lan Li replied, and then asked, "Do you have any last words?" ”

The other party just sneered.

Lan Li looked at him silently for a moment, the dagger in his hand finally broke away from the neck of the Dorn, but it stabbed into the other man's heart like lightning, and at the same time covered his mouth with his other hand, blocking the sound from emanating.

The dull sound of metal penetrating the flesh caused blood to splatter out, and the linen cloth on his chest was soaked in crimson, facing the spasmodic body and the rapidly spreading black pupils under him, Lan Li raised his hand and silently closed his eyes.

Then he looked behind him at the little queen, who had climbed ashore on her own.

"What, your ass doesn't hurt again?"
