129 hit the road
The two days after the wedding were relatively peaceful, except for the imprint on Lan Li's left hand when she went to the toilet, causing the belt to crawl and run off on its own.
It was also strange that Fellow Paischer had been attacked by an unknown animal, and his bloody face was paralyzed on the ground, covering his face and crying, which caused a lot of discussion.
The servant claimed that the attacker was a dog because someone had seen a dog near the scene of the crime, but the client denied this, saying that it was his new dog and not the murderer who attacked him.
But when he asked him to say what exactly attacked him, the old man couldn't say anything.
In the end, this matter was over, and Lan Li didn't pay much attention to it.
After the wedding, the only thing that needs to be busy is the "move" from King's Landing, but there are servants, which does not need to be done by Lan Li himself.
Instead, he began a leisurely bird-raising business.
It was a beautiful canary, with orange and green feathers and a small size that made it look very cute, but unfortunately after the servant sent it that day, Lan Li teased him for a while, and the little bird squatting in the cage didn't pay much attention to him, combing its feathers by itself, occasionally chirping a few crisply, as if it had no idea of "communicating with his heart" at all.
Lan Li thought that this might need to cultivate a relationship first, so he didn't care.
But when he woke up the next day, he found that the canary that had been kept in the cage was gone, and there was nothing left in its place except for a pile of messy bird feathers.
Lan Li was wary of this, but he didn't have time to look for the murderer, because the time to set off had already arrived.
The king's wedding was a temporary end to all previous events, and although there was a jousting tournament to celebrate the wedding afterwards, not everyone was interested.
With the exception of the knights who were preparing to participate in the joust, the others left King's Landing, a city that had been noisy for a long time, and headed for their respective territories. Stark and his lords in the north, Lannister in the west, Tully in the Riverlands, and Tyrell in the Riverlands......
Hundreds of lords spread out from King's Landing, heading in all directions to Westeros, and as one of the top nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, Tyrell's ranks were very impressive.
Compared to the humble beginning, the number of people in the party at this time was not less than a hundred, grooms, cooks, servants, knights, crossbowmen......
More than twenty carriages were full of armor, tents, and supplies, and a wide carriage embroidered with bright golden roses was the core of the procession, with the smund knights on the flanks, the soldiers on the perimeter, and the servants at the very edge, who had a clear division of labor and were constantly busy, all of which were for the service of the two men in the carriage.
One big and one small.
"Don't believe the rumors, Lan Li, although there are several orchards, but the territory of the Red Apple Fosowei family is not actually rich in apples, this name mainly comes from the Heroic Era shooter Foso, he is the son of the green hand Garth, it is said that he will shoot the apple on the other party's head if he sees any girl......"
The tall Duke of Tyrell smiled as he explained the origin of his vassals' family coat of arms, and across from him, a boy with short charcoal black hair sat and listened quietly, his stunning blue eyes blinking and blinking, occasionally with a hint of abruptness.
However, in fact, he already knew what the other party said......
It was a large carriage, with a large interior clad in golden silk made of smooth oak and metal, and a spacious carriage with six horses outside the carriage, through which the shouting of the coachman seemed rather dull.
The journey was long, and children could not ride horses, so the Duke of Tyrell specially prepared this carriage for riding, and of course the Duke himself enjoyed it, after all, it was very tiring to ride a horse for a long time.
As the procession marched, all sorts of trivial sounds continued, and the massive city of earthy yellow color became more and more hazy as the carriage rolled forward, and finally drowned in the green mist behind it.
Surrounded by patches of uneven plains and meadows, mist-shrouded grey roads stretching in all directions, a large number of figures can be seen passing through these roads—free riders, unsheltered wagons, ox carts, vendors, missionaries, farmers on foot......
King's Landing is the central capital of Westeros, and the roads around it are naturally well-connected, allowing you to reach any of the castle territories in the Seven Kingdoms.
"It is well known that the first knights came from the Bend, the first scholars also came from the Bend, and of course, the first singers, gardeners and stonemasons...... So you don't need to worry about your studies in the High Court, Lan Li. If you've studied the history of the North, you should know that the ancestors of the Stark family are also descendants of our young hand Garth, which is enough to prove the ancient heritage and rich heritage of the Riverlands......
Bored on the road, the young duke with curly brown hair began to chatter and introduce Lan Li to various historical legends and vassal lords of the Riverbend, and although Lan Li had known some things for a long time, he didn't actually know much about them.
However, he didn't listen to all of them, and there was no shortage of false ostentations in Duke Mace's words, such as the fact that Brandon, the ancestor of the Stark family, was from the common ancestor of the nobles of the Riverlands, Gals, and there was little tangible evidence for this other than some folklore.
And according to some legends, even the founders of the Lannisters of the Westlands and the founders of the Baratheon family of the Ancient Storm Lands are descendants of Garth.
It is said that the co-ancestor of the riverbend land in the era of the Heroic Era could make infertile women, including menopausal women, fertile and prolific with just touching them with their hands...... You can see how exaggerated these legends are.
……
Leaving King's Landing was not a reluctance for Lan Li, as he didn't know many people there, mainly his two brothers.
However, the former is a king and is busy with affairs, and the latter, as a maritime minister, is also busy all day long and can't find a shadow, and Lan Li's departure does not affect the relationship between the brothers, because there are not many in the first place.
In addition, Lan Li is an acquaintance of Davos, the onion knight under Stannis, and Barristan, the Kingsguard, but Davos himself has already headed in the direction of the rainforest in the stormlands after the wedding, preparing to inspect and arrange the territory he was given by Stannis, and the latter came to see him off, but the question in his mouth made the black-haired boy not know how to answer it well.
Where's that black cat called Bellerion?
Lan Lixin said You ask me, I ask who is going, and the explanation given is that the cat has run away, and he doesn't know where he went.
So the royal guard who was a little sad was quite stunned by this.
"Don't doubt it, Lan Li, we will encounter many castles on the way, but you have to believe that only the High Court is the most beautiful one in the whole river bay, no, the most beautiful one in the whole Seven Kingdoms."
Words from the other side interrupted the boy's thoughts, and Duke Tyrelll, with his curly brown hair, was now looking at a crumbling castle outside the carriage, and his tone was proud.
The Duke was a man of great vanity, and his words were repeated to boast of his territory and family, but Lan Li was not tired of these words.
In addition to figuring out his golden finger, his greatest wish was to be a traveler, and he was naturally very curious about the legends and customs of various places.
"Does Old Town stink as King's Landing?" He asked a more pointed question.
"Stinky?"
Lord Tyrell shook his head, "I have to say that King's Landing is the smelliest city I've ever seen, after all, it's so populated. The old town doesn't taste very good, but I rarely visit it, and I don't know if it has improved in the last two years. ”
"Is the water in the Red Lake red?"
"Of course, otherwise how could it be called Red Lake?"
"Is the Oak Throne really a living oak tree?"
"We all say that, it's just that the damn Dornish people didn't give us a chance to meet ......"
During the conversation, Lan Li had some expectations for his life in the near future, mainly because he felt a lot freer all of a sudden after being out of his brother's control.
It's just that......
The boy in the carriage frowned unconsciously, and his left hand, which was hanging at his side, quietly blocked something that suddenly appeared.
It was a tender green twig stretching out of the corner of the carriage seat, it looked like an ordinary grass, but it was not normal to grow on a fur cushion, and it appeared only because Lan Li had just accidentally touched it.
If this particular circumstance is not taken into account, the future life is still very exciting.
He thought to himself.
In the past few days, the imprint on his left hand has occurred three times, once turning the buttons on his body to stone, once making the dagger in his hand limp, and the last time turning the wooden water cup he held in his hand into a pile of sand, in which the water spilled on the crotch of his pants.
It can only be said that the only fortunate thing is that he was in his tent at the time and was not seen by others, but a certain childish rumor brought about by this made him quite distressed.
It looks wonderful and interesting, but for this uncontrollable ability, Lan Li only feels troublesome.
……
The procession kept moving forward, and the people in it had their own thoughts, but outside the procession, the discussion about the people in the group did not stop.
The news that the king's youngest brother, Lan Li, was sent to the High Court as an adopted son, had long been spread in the riverbend, and there was a lot of discussion, under the publicity of some people, intentionally or unintentionally.
