215 Turmoil and Epilogue
The end of the year 294 was far more chaotic than the rest of the year, and with flocks of ravens in the Red Keep of King's Landing flying across the Seven Kingdoms, a hunt for the Old Disciples unfolded across Westeros.
Valley, West, Riverland, Bend, North......
In the past ten years, the old disciples have been all over Westeros, and most of the lords do not want to see these people, but many of them have been treated as guests-
It's not because these people can perform any magic, in fact, most of the disciples are ordinary people, and they may be able to do a lot of pretending to be ghosts through some potions and alchemy synthesis powders and other items, but it is very rare to say that those who really have magical abilities.
However, these people are generally well-informed, full of exotic style, and at the same time have opinions and abilities in medical matters that are different from those of the bachelor's class, and there is nothing offensive about them except that they say that the old gate seems to be a god.
In other words, the disciples had established themselves in Westeros, whether they were welcomed or not.
However, with a letter of order from King's Landing, the initially stable class of old disciples directly became street rats.
Fleeing, hiding in Tibet, hiding in disguise, being arrested, hanged, beheaded, tortured for clues......
Blood and death began to appear frequently in various parts of the Seven Kingdoms, but apart from the Riverband Lands that were "coerced" by Lan Li, the Storm Lands of the descendants and the royal territory, the lords of the other territories of the Seven Kingdoms actually did not have too much urgency to hunt down this group of people, because this could not bring any benefits to the local lords, but the king's order, it also needed to be carried out on the surface, and at the same time, the appropriate blood would help increase the deterrence of the lords.
However, no matter how it is executed, at least, after the start of this hunt throughout Westeros, the group of Old Disciples can no longer be active in the Seven Kingdoms openly, and even the activities in the secret must be careful and careful.
There was outrage at this, because they suffered heavy losses in personnel, and at the same time the plans were completely disrupted. Some people are also aggrieved by this, because the old disciples are not really a whole group, and there are several religious denominations.
And the one who really cooperates with the Targaryens is just one of them.
β¦β¦
"Those people were barely able to leave the Western Continent, and the local lords strictly controlled the ports, and only a few showed goodwill to allow them to board and leave. Mademoiselle, Bennero, the High Reverend of the Red God Church, has sent a letter asking us to negotiate with the Iron Throne of the Western Continent about this, as they cannot afford to be damaged by a large number of people. β
Outside of Westeros, in a fragrant and bright garden, a thin middle-aged man dressed as a butler was standing respectfully behind a little girl reporting the news that had just arrived, and the tire marks on his face proved that he had been a slave, but now seemed to be in an important position.
"It's not smart to jump out at this time." The little girl in a warm yellow dress was squatting in front of a bush of roses at this time, reaching out and caressing the flowers, and after hearing the words, she said without replying: "Reply that there is nothing we can do." β
"Will this make Benneiro unhappy?" The butler asked in a whisper. Obviously, he was facing a little guy about ten years old, but his attitude was very deferential at this time.
"Let him be dissatisfied." The girl snorted lightly and replied, "Who can blame me for the unreliability of my own people?" β
"And the plan for the Western Continent?"
"I'm going to make contact with the people in the House of Black and White, and if they can make a move, it won't be that much trouble. However, it will take some time...... Is there any news from Dorne? β
The girl who was caressing the flowers finally turned her head to look at the butler, and in the sun, a delicate face with a little baby fat was full of childishness, but her expression was as serious as that of a little adult, and at first glance it was a little funny.
It's just that the butler didn't dare to laugh, but replied honestly: "No, Prince Daolang is very cautious and has not contacted us." β
"The cunning Dorn, little Viserys is also his daughter's fiancΓ©, and he hasn't even cared about it for so many years." The girl pursed her lips, seemingly unhappy with this, but after thinking about it, she suddenly changed the subject.
"That Lan Li, how are you inquiring?"
I had carefully understood the situation of the parties when I made the plan before, but I didn't expect to lose the first step on this person, which made her very annoyed, and she felt that she didn't take the people of this era too seriously, and she was a little underestimated.
"It's the same news as before." The butler replied cautiously: "It is difficult to listen to information about him in the High Court, we only know that he has been kidnapped, but we can't know the specific details. β
"He's an interesting opponent." The little girl said thoughtfully.
I don't know why, she always felt that the name was a little familiar, but when she thought about it, she couldn't remember where she had heard of it......
"Sister Rhaenys!" A cheerful greeting interrupted the girl's musings, and when she looked up, a silver-haired girl in a white silk dress was trotting towards this place with her skirt in her hand, and the butler bowed down and retreated, while the girl glared at the man who was running with dissatisfaction.
"How many times have I told you, Dany, to call me Sister Rhaenys!"
β¦β¦
"I'll entrust Sam to you, Lord Lanli."
It was still in the castle of Horning, but more than two months had passed, and the knights, who had come full circle, had officially set off to return to the High Court at this moment, because in a few days it would be Olena. Redwing, the sixty-sixth year naming day of Lan Li's adoptive mother.
It didn't take too long but a lot of things had changed, Lan Li, who had lived in the Riverbend for more than ten years, changed his previous low-key and completely made a name for himself in the Riverbend, and secretly the lords couldn't know how to discuss this matter, but on the surface, they became more and more polite to Lan Li.
And as the "partner" of this operation, the blue road of Kakuling. Count Tully also attached more importance to the young and handsome black-haired knight in front of him, who smiled like a spring breeze.
"Sam has something dishonest, just let the adults beat and scold." The bald nobleman on horseback said to Lan Li, who was riding beside him, "As long as you don't kill him." β
"It's not an exaggeration, Master Tully, and it turns out that corporal punishment doesn't solve Sam's problem fundamentally." Lan Li smiled when he heard this: "But I will return to Dragonstone Island in the near future, and it will not be easy for Lord Tully to see his son." β
"His mother will miss him." Hearing this, the bald nobleman couldn't help but turn his head to look at the little chubby dun who was riding a pony and shrunken his head, and his brows were subconsciously tightened.
"He's the only heir to House Tully, and I desperately need him to make a change, if it's always been like this-"
The middle-aged nobleman didn't continue, but the emotions conveyed were quite cold.
Lan Li didn't care about this either, he had been talking about it for a long time these days, and he was already familiar with it.
"I'll do my best to train him, and if it works, I'll write to Master Tully."
"Then thank you, Lord Lanli." Count Tully nodded: "As for those lords, I will also help keep an eye on them." β
Lan Li politely thanked him when he heard this.
After a long journey, the Lords of the Riverlands as a whole have made a clear statement in the face of possible future turmoil, and although this cannot completely turn the Riverlands into a die-hard supporter of Baratheon, it has also stabilized the situation in the area, and it will not be easily infiltrated.
Lan Li believes that if the Targaryens do make a comeback in the future, then unless the battle situation is clearly unfavorable to Baratheon, it is unlikely that these lords of the Riverlands will have other thoughts on their minds.
And if it's really one-sided, there aren't many bays.
For this result, Lan Li is basically satisfied, but without the initial support of the Earl of Tully, then this matter will not go so smoothly. Tali wanted his son to be his squire, and Lan Li thought about it and agreed.
A few years ago, while attending the wedding of his second brother Stannis, he married Garland of the High Court. Tyrell was made a knight by Stannis, but he never accepted anyone as a squire, because he had no shortage of people to help with the armoured horses, but now that he had an extra brother, he didn't feel any trouble.
"I just don't know if this little fat man has the halo of the protagonist, but he is also the last one to survive in that drama, he is promoted and rich, and he has a wife, which is simply high-profile."
The secret muttering did not affect the politeness on the surface, and after seeing off outside Jiaoling City for a long time, Lan Dao. Count Tully finally rode back to the castle, while Lan Li led the Knights in the direction of the High Court.
Because there was a small burden in the team, they did not hurry quickly, but the distance between the two places was not far, and they finally returned to the High Court after five days.
Riding into the castle, countless eyes came to him, but before he could gain a firm foothold, someone came to inform Lan Li, the mother of the Duke of Mace, that is, Lan Li's adoptive mother, Olena. Redwyn wanted to see him immediately.
