The nobles of the upper classes were busy attending His Majesty's wedding, and the merchant travelers and even the hired knights from all over the country were also talking about it, and even after the wedding was over, this discussion did not stop.

And for the people of the Riverlands, in addition to the wedding and the king, the most they talked about was the king's younger brother Lan Li.

"Since His Majesty Robert has sent his younger brother to the High Court as an adopted son, it naturally means that His Majesty is no longer prepared to pursue the issue of Riverland's side with the Targaryens."

In the noisy wilderness hotel, a plainly dressed merchant said to the people next to him.

"Of course I won't pursue it, but there's not a lot of land on the other side of the stormland."

"It doesn't matter, it's none of our business."

"That's right, as long as you don't raise taxes, it's easy to say."

……

"Dragonstone Island should be given to the eldest son of the king, is it true that the one named Lan Li is our future king?"

"How could it be, he doesn't have this inheritance."

"But traditionally ......"

……

"What do you think Duke Lanli can look like?"

"What can a child look like?"

……

Knights, mercenaries, merchants, travelers, bards......

There is no shortage of these beings in the hotels based in the wilderness, and as a result, there is always a lot of news gathered here, and of course, fake news accounts for the majority.

Sitting at a table in the corner of the first floor, Bailu Wenda listened to the many discussions around her while drinking a bowl of rabbit broth. Her presence did not attract much attention, as she was wrapped in a headscarf and dressed in a dusty robe, dressed in a very low-key manner.

It is relatively rare for a woman to walk alone in the Seven Kingdoms, but it is not uncommon, not to mention that she looks like a peasant woman living nearby.

Who would have thought that this seemingly inconspicuous peasant woman was once a fierce female bandit known in the Seven Kingdoms?

From King's Landing, follow a road called the Avenue of Roses, and the further you go in the direction of the High Court, the more you talk about your lordship.

The presence of the Duke of Dragonstone was clearly seen as a sign of peace from the new king, and even some of the locals of Riverbend welcomed it.

After all, at this time, the whole of the Seven Kingdoms was in post-war stability, and the people of the Riverlands did not want to be plunged into war again.

However, Wenda was alone here at this time, and the purpose was naturally not to learn about the news she already knew, but to find out some other things she didn't know.

After the boy was canonized as Duke of Dragonstone, the promise he had made had been fulfilled in a basic way, and when the two dukes left King's Landing for Riverlands, he picked up Wenda, who had been waiting in King's Landing, and her son on their way.

However, it is not the character of this former bandit to follow the rules and regulations in the large army, although the war has not long ended at this time, and the seven kingdoms are peaceful, but it is not without danger-

It is necessary to travel to an unfamiliar environment and understand the local situation.

So on the way, she kept walking in front of the team, asking for all kinds of news for her little master.

"There is an old woman over there in the noble heart who heard that she will prophesy, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"The shadow lynx in the woods has been very active lately, so be careful when you hurry......"

"Have you heard, a woman who claimed to be Mei Ge fell from the sky on the side of the bitter bridge a while ago, and she was still wearing armor, and she crushed several pigs that Master Caswell had free-ranged."

"The madwoman who called on the local peasants to follow her in rebellion against King Robert?"

"Rebel against King Robert? Female lunatic? ”

"That's right, she was a madman, she called Baratheon a traitor, and said that she would kill all the sons of warriors in the world...... I don't know which crazy woman is talking nonsense, who doesn't know that there is no son of a warrior in the Seven Kingdoms for a long time? ”

"Everyone knows that Meg is not a long **."

"And that tyrant has been dead for more than two hundred years."

"What a madman......"

"What happened to that woman?"

"It is said that our Lord Caswell is busy hunting her down......"

"Because of those pigs?"

"It's not just because pigs ......"

……

Falling from the sky, or coming out of the water...... Along the way, Wenda had heard rumors of such things three times, each time more exaggerated, and she felt ridiculous about it.

Is this kind of anecdote falling from the sky popular in the countryside lately?

She remembered that before she left, there was also such news circulating in King's Landing.

A large pile of sea fish appeared inexplicably from a well in a flea nest, causing the local poor to rush for a while......

Experience tells Wenda that this kind of news is basically fake, but the journey is tiring, and listening to it can relax a little.

Only this time she didn't listen completely, because a middle-aged businessman in a linen shirt suddenly sat across her table.

"Good lady, it's been a long journey, why do you have to travel alone?" The middle-aged man asked with a smile with a pair of brown eyes looking at the beautiful cheeks that were hidden in the opposite woman.

"Naturally, I hope that some people who don't have long eyes can be honest." Wenda replied with a smile, and the dagger she held upside down in her hand slammed into the wooden table, the tip of which sank deeply, and the handle trembled slightly.

This is a warning, but also a signal, the other party saw that the smile on his face retracted, and after sitting on the ground and coughing dryly, he asked.

"I'm from Old Town, I don't know where you're from, ma'am?"

"King's Landing."

The middle-aged man with a pair of thin eyebrows touched his chin in King's Land......ing, "Is there any interesting news there?" I mean, other than our King Robert wedding? ”

"I heard that there is going to be a customs tariff, is this interesting news?"

"That's terrible,"

The other party sighed when he heard this, and then without waiting for Wenda to speak, he took the initiative to say: "Recently, a group of sneaky people have appeared in the old town, it seems to be from the Eastern Continent, and they are spreading the word that the door to the old world has been opened, and everyone must find that door and close it, otherwise the whole world will be destroyed because of the chaos that pours in behind the door...... Ahem, many doors in Old Town have been smashed by those lunatics lately, and I heard that Count Hightower is considering kicking them out of the territory. ”

Wen Da laughed dumbly when she heard this.

There is no shortage of madmen in this world, and there are countless religious madmen, for example, a sect in the Eastern Continent that believes in Lahlo, the Lord of Light, is very abnormal in her opinion, and she also knows a religion called the Cult of the Stars in Place, in which everyone is nervous to worship a meteorite that fell from the sky, and the whole world claims that it can save the world......

This kind of news is too unrealistic, and it is basically useless for Wenda, so after hearing it, she didn't care about it, and asked about something else.

"Do you know anything about the Iron Islands?"

The Iron Islands have been the main enemy of the Riverlands for thousands of years, so if there is any threat in the Riverlands, the Iron People there are one.

"All we know is that the mild-mannered King of Cologne died in battle in the Shield Islands, and his son Baron became the new king." "That's why we haven't dared to go to the Iron Islands lately, and there's no guarantee that the King of Baron will follow the old rules until he understands his temper." ”

Wenda nodded, and then another piece of news.

"The old prime minister of the Eagle family went to Dorne, it is said that he is discussing peace talks, which may allow you to restore the trade routes of Dorne."

Hearing this, the vendor raised his eyebrows: "Restore the trade route? This is good news, God willing, and I wish Prime Minister Arryn all the best. ”

The blonde woman dressed as a peasant woman chuckled in response, and after a few more words with her, the vendor took the initiative to end the exchange of information.

Looking at the other party's departing back, Wenda squinted.

This kind of exchange of information was common during her travels, and she had encountered this kind of thing on previous trips, and the news she received was usually of little practical value

It's just that he doesn't look like a businessman, but rather a professionally trained spy.

Could it be that there are lords nearby who are fighting?

She secretly guessed.
