The summer is already very hot, and the surface air is in a trance, and the dense crowd around the intersection is noisy and noisy, which adds to the degree of this heat, and it feels extremely dull to be in it.

There was no end to the discussion and scolding around him, and he was in the crowd surrounded by the guards, staring intently at the three prisoners on the gallows who were struggling weaker and weaker, Oberon, nicknamed the Red Viper, had a very good face, but the Lan Li beside him seemed to have not seen it, and when the three prisoners were motionless, he even sent someone to order the executioners to hang for a while, lest those assassins fake their deaths and escape.

It wasn't until the surrounding civilians dispersed that he reflexively beckoned the "Dorne Sightseeing Team" to move on.

It's just that after this stubble, the originally harmonious atmosphere quietly became a little tense, and the red viper Oberon in the team scanned Lan Li in front of him with hostile eyes several times, but he never did anything special.

Soon after, the group arrived again in the harbor area, where there was a great deal of commotion because of the large number of summer vacationers, so much so that the simple mistress at the center of the process, Namelia, was amazed.

"Is it that hot?"

"King's Landing is not as heat-resistant as the Dorn." Lan Li replied with a smile.

Most of Dorn's location is desert, and the environment and climate are much more difficult than here, which can be seen from the surface, after walking for such a long time, the guards around to protect the safety of the team are already sweating profusely, but these Dorns are not sweating at all.

"Then they're going to Dorne, aren't they going to die of heat?"

"Death from heat is not necessarily, death from thirst is possible......"

……

Simple people pay attention to simple things, but non-simple people discover some special circumstances here.

For example, there were warships anchored in the far side of the harbor, and soldiers were constantly boarding the ships, and after Lan Li's patient explanation, the Dorns fully understood what was happening or about to happen on the Crab Claw Peninsula.

They would not ignore the fact that in the midst of the black crowd of summer retreats, several monks were spreading remarks of rejection of the Targaryens in high-pitched voices, which drew the support of the surrounding civilians.

All this made Oberon, who led the team, depressed, and coupled with the execution scene he had seen before, he unconsciously made him think a lot and feel quite irritated.

"That Lan Li deliberately let us see this." When the tour was over and the Dorns returned to their temporary residence, Oberon the Red Viper and his niece said, "He's a scheming man. ”

"Are those three hangers really faceless?" Alen asked hurriedly.

"I'm not sure who they are." Oberon said, "The plan is indeed for the Faceless One to carry out the beheading, and the Blue Rite is very straightforward. ”

"Our plans have been discovered?" The petite Princess Dorne had an ugly face.

"That's right." Oberon gritted his teeth and replied.

As one had guessed, they had not come to King's Landing for marriage, but to disrupt the situation.

In other words, allies far beyond Westeros promised to send the Faceless to assassinate most of House Baratheon, hoping that Dorne would take the opportunity to step in and sow discord.

Their initial plan was to kill the Baratheons, leaving only King Robert's only daughters, Messira and Stannis. Baratheon, in this way, the two sides will surely fight.

Because according to the normal succession of the Iron Throne, it must be Stannis who will be crowned king, but if it is considered according to the laws of Dorne and the interests of the Lannisters, Messira is the real heir to the king.

Unfortunately, the plan was good, but it ended abruptly before it could really start.

"Didn't you say that the Faceless Person's disguise was never discovered? How exactly were they exposed? ”

"Maybe those who aren't really Faceless are just aware of our plan and deliberately let other prisoners impersonate."

"Even so, he discovered our plan."

"It's just you, me, and your father who know about this plan, so there must be a leak from the Targaryens."

"There's a mole over there?"

"Maybe—"

In the middle of speaking, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Oberon frowned, walked over to open the door, and saw that a little fat man dressed as an attendant was standing cowering outside the door at this time, and when he looked at him, he couldn't help but shrink his neck, looking cowardly and timid.

"Lord Lan Li called me, told me to give this to you." The little fat man shuddered as he handed over a rolled-up note in his hand.

The little fat man was the attendant of the Lan Li, and Oberon had seen him before, so he frowned, but he took the note without hesitation.

When he opened it out, the expression on his face couldn't help but be stunned, and then he raised his eyes and hurriedly asked, "Is this true?" ”

"What, what's the matter?" The little fat man asked blankly.

Apparently he didn't know anything, and Oberon clenched the note tightly when he saw this, and then said without hesitation, "Take me to your master!" ”

This one's tone was hurried, as if there was something urgent. Seeing this, the little fat man didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately turned his head and ran outside. Oberon gave a word to his niece in the house, and then followed along.

At this time, it was not early in the sky outside the building, and the dim light radiated from the sky, staining the stone bricks of the Red Fort under their feet.

As if prepared, when the Dornite entered the room, the black-haired young man smiled at the visitor without the slightest surprise on his face.

Before, he was in a hurry, but when he arrived at the house, the red viper of Dorne calmed down, walked to a chair in front of Lan Li's desk, sat down, and then knocked Erlang's leg.

"Is this true?" He asked.

Lan Li didn't answer, but looked at Sam Well, the attendant at the door of the room, and after signaling the other party to leave, he spoke: "I don't need to fool you about this matter, and you also met those parties at the banquet last night." ”

"The color of their hair alone is not enough to prove that the three children are not of Robert's species." Oberyn shook his head when he heard this: "Besides, I heard that even the king's own hair turned blonde a while ago. ”

"It's proof enough that hair color can be changed, using things like blood magic or witchcraft." Lan Li meant something to say, "Besides, what do you think is the purpose of such a change?" Or rather, who's hiding what? ”

Oberon frowned when he heard this, and for a while he did not speak.

Lan Li shrugged his shoulders when he saw this.

The note he had handed over was very simple, he had written about his brother being cuckolded and the children were not his own.

The purpose is naturally not to promote "family ugliness", but to prove that they have an irreducible hatred between the Baratheon family and the Lannister family behind the queen, or rather, the purpose of the blue ceremony is to win over Dorne.

At this time, the situation in the Seven Kingdoms was generally stable, except for Dorne, a region of serious instability.

Dorne's problem is actually simple, when Robert rebelled, Dorn and Targaryen were married, and Prince Rhaegar, the heir to the Iron Throne of Targaryen, married Princess Elia of Dorne, the sister of the red viper in front of him.

Then, during Robert's rebellion, Princess Elia and her children died in the Red Keep.

But in reality, their tragic deaths were not the work of Baratheon, but the Lannisters—

The Lannisters had not yet joined Robert's side, and their murder of Princess Dorne and her children was a "letter of nomination".

So in a real sense, Dorne's enemy is the Lannisters, not Baratheon.

That's why Lan Li wanted to prove to the Dornite that Baratheon had the potential to stand on the opposite side of the Lannisters.

But that's not enough.

"I know that Dorne is now allied with the Targaryens." As Oberon pondered, Lan Li spoke, "I also know that your sister's death has filled you with hatred. But is she really to blame us for her death? ”

As the words fell, the atmosphere in the room suddenly tensed.
