Lan Li, who was on Tass Island, naturally didn't know what was going on in King's Landing, because of the sword and bird skull in the lake, he had been delayed here for an extra day, so that he could consult the relevant books and materials on Tass Island.

Unfortunately, he didn't learn anything useful other than the legends.

This seems to be very normal, whether the bird's skull is a storm god or not, the age of its activity obviously needs to be counted in the millennium, so many years, the possibility of leaving a written record is very low, or even if there is, it is estimated that it has already rotted into pieces.

So with a feeling of regret, Lan Li took two bootys and prisoners to bid farewell to the reluctant Tass family and rushed towards the stormland across the bay.

In fact, Tas Island was not far from the shores of the Stormlands, and it took less than two days for Lan Li to reach the seaside Storm's Rest Castle and meet Master Clixon after a long absence.

His heart was a little heavy because of this.

The old bachelor in a gray wool robe was about to be eighty years old, although he was in good spirits, but he was already swaying and not very steady, the skin on the back of his hand was full of age spots, and the appearance of holding Lan Li's hand and constantly nagging was completely different from the shrewd wisdom he once had.

"I don't have long to live, and I don't know how many times I will see you brothers, I plan to go to King's Landing in a while, you are all over there, I want to go and see."

……

"Call Robert back? That's not possible, he's the king now, how can a king come back to see an old man. I'll go in a carriage, and it won't take long. ”

……

"You kid, don't talk nonsense, which king will be very idle, Robert has to sit on the throne and stare at his kingdom, but he can't move around at will, you have to know, our throne is not very orthodox......"

……

Miss Crissen was old, his hands were shaking when he ate, and he was a little confused, and he was not as energetic as he used to be.

Lan Li didn't stay in Storm's End for long before continuing on his way, not because he was in a hurry to return to King's Landing, or because the current situation in King's Landing was really important, but it wasn't enough to make Lan Li so anxious.

The reason why he was in a hurry to leave was simple-

Go and fetch the power seeds, and then come back again.

When he was still in his infancy, his parents in this world were shipwrecked and died in the sea outside Storm's End, and it was this old man who took care of him since he was a child, telling stories, making toys, teaching knowledge, and living principles......

After a long period of contact, it is impossible for even a traverser to be indifferent to this, in fact, Lan Li of this world does not care much, and Master Clerson is one of them.

It's just that maybe it's too familiar, he always ignores the old man when he's busy, and although he has kept in touch with each other for a long time over the years, he doesn't really think about the old man much, just like habitually ignoring the existence of his family.

However, after so many years of busyness, are those things really more important than family?

Lan Li didn't think much of this, because it was useless to think about it, he was going to send the seed to Storm's End after returning to King's Landing. If King's Landing doesn't allow him to leave casually, then let Thob send it.

……

The situation in King's Landing is still the same, but after entering the city, you can see smiling faces, riding a horse forward in the middle of the road, Lan Li looked left and right, and found that the atmosphere in the city was not bad, and the civilians were talking about Dragonstone Island at this time.

Of course, they weren't talking about Dragonstone itself, but about the fact that it had just won a battle.

"There are thousands of captives alone, can you imagine what thousands of people can do?"

"It can't be so many, it's almost the same to say that thousands of people died."

"How is it impossible, hammer and anvil, have you heard of it? Just like this battle, we have foreign aid! ”

"I heard it was a bunch of pirates?"

"Looks like a person from the Iron Islands, not a pirate, right?"

……

Lan Li was surprised by this, he didn't reveal his true identity in the first place, and he didn't ask the pirates to fight for King's Landing, but he didn't want those pirates to be so "knowledgeable"?

Did you guess his identity?

Or is it simply a desire to be on the side of "doomed victory"?

He was a little curious, but he didn't have time to bother with pirates.

Because there was no notice in advance, it was not until Lan Li arrived outside the Red Keep that the people in the Red Keep learned that the Minister of Justice had returned, and Barristan, the captain of the Kingsguard, personally ran out to greet the team, and after entering it, Lan Li was summoned to the throne hall by Robert without the slightest pause.

The reason why they were so anxious was very simple, naturally because of the captives in Lan Li's hands, and what those pirates were all about.

"Don't care what the pirates say, they value profits, and now they are on our side, then we will give them benefits."

Lan Li lightly "explained" his connection to the pirates, and he did not admit that he was the son of the drowned gods, even though he was a nominal believer in the Seven Gods. Then, without waiting for anyone to ask, he dragged the terrorized captive with a rope in his hand to the ground in front of him.

"It's an honor to introduce you, this is Viserys. Targaryens, as I understand him, are also the so-called Viserys III Targaryens, the pro-crown king of his enemies. ”

So the conversation naturally shifted to the captive.

The captured Prince Viserys is not very good at the moment, his face is unkempt, his face is frightened and not the slightest calm, although his clothes are naked, the characteristics of his silver hair and purple eyes will not change because of this, and the outline of his appearance is also very familiar to many courtiers who have seen the royal family of the previous dynasty, so the expressions of the people in the throne hall are different.

Although they had vaguely believed Lan Li's letter after the pirates appeared, they were still shocked and in awe when this person was brought to them.

Quietly, the young man in front of him, who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, had captured the enemy's "king", so lightly, what could be difficult to get him?

Or rather, even the king can be caught, and who else can't be caught?

"I'm glad Duke Lanli is on our side." While the people in the throne room were talking about the captives, someone whispered to the people next to them, "Otherwise, I won't even be able to sleep." ”

……

People were very curious about how Lan Li caught Viserys, but they didn't believe Lan Li's explanation of luck, but Lan Li didn't have much to explain this, and after the prisoner was handed over, he claimed that he was tired from the journey and went down to rest.

After bringing the captive back, he didn't think that he needed to do anything by himself, or rather, he didn't have to pay much attention to what the prisoner could use it for, and someone would naturally dispose of it.

Lan Li was still thinking about the Crison in the Storm's End, so after retiring, he returned directly to his residence in the Red Keep, and recruited his henchman Tobu.

As a result, before he could say anything, Tobu took the initiative to say some news that made Lan Li frown.

"The Prime Minister was poisoned?"

"Yes."

The young knight replied, "It was the Prime Minister's wife who did it, and she also has a woman named Petyr. Berish's associates. But he escaped before the incident. ”

Lan Li narrowed his eyes.

Petyr. The name Baerichy was a little familiar, and when he thought about it, he remembered that it was nicknamed Littlefinger, and in fact he had thought about this person before, but later learned that he was just a small tax collector, and not in a high position as he remembered, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

But I don't want to cause such a mess now......

A simple prime minister being poisoned is naturally not a mess, or if he is poisoned, it is a mess, because after the prime minister dies, the affairs of the valley will inevitably be controlled by the vicious prime minister's wife, which will obviously make the situation worse. But Ranley knew that Jon. Erin was not poisoned, but was very sober at this time, and even personally investigated the truth about his "illness".

This is also the reason why Tobu took the initiative to talk to Lan Li about this-

Tobu knew that the old prime minister and the king had been planted with the seeds of power by Lan Li, because Lan Li needed him to keep an eye on the physical changes of these two people.

And the old prime minister's sudden recovery is not understood, and Tobu, who has some knowledge of the seeds of strength, naturally does not know why.

It's just that Tob only pays attention to the physical changes of the Prime Minister and the effect of the seed, but Lan Li cares more about other aspects.

The prime minister's wife poisoned the prime minister, whether it succeeds or not, this is not a good thing.

There will be turmoil in the valley, no?

The Prime Minister's wife is called Lysa. Tully, the second daughter of the Duke of Tully in the Riverlands, and the Riverlands are currently at a crucial point in the war!

Lan Li pondered whether this matter would bring variables, but Tobu in front of him obviously hadn't finished explaining the matter, and after saying the changes in the former prime minister, he handed over another letter.

"This letter was given to me by Scholar Paischer, my lord."

He said, "The scholar says the letter is from Braavos. ”

"Braavos?" Lan Li was stunned when she heard this, "Who is the one who wrote the letter?" ”

"I don't know."

Tob shook his head, "The scholar didn't tell me either. ”

Lan Li frowned, opened the letter in his hand and looked at it intently, and couldn't help but be stunned.

There was neither a signature nor anything important on the letter, and there was only one line, a line written by the lingua franca of Jingxiu——

"Wrap it around your head, and you'll look like a Dorne woman."
