"The disciples are fleeing overseas through the Crab Claw Peninsula?"

A rhetorical question rang out in the empty hall, followed by another calm female voice.

"Yes, they are stealthily converging from all over the Seven Kingdoms towards the Crab Claw Peninsula, and the lords there not only provide protection, but also contact ships to smuggle them out of Westeros."

Lan Li on the lord's chair narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

The words of the silver-haired "man" in a black cloak at the bottom of the stairs were completely unexpected, but he could tell that it was true, at least the other party thought it was true.

This is a bonus.

After arriving on Dragonstone, Lan Li no longer paid attention to what could happen to the Crab Claw Peninsula, after all, he learned that the "habit" of killing tax officials there had existed for a long time, not suddenly.

As for the guy in front of him who had been instructed by him to go to the Crab Claw Peninsula, Lan Li even left it behind, thinking that this person was obviously just going to run for nothing, and he couldn't investigate anything.

The result is the opposite.

It's just that even though it sounds true, Lan Li still found a loophole.

"The sea area of the Crab Claw Peninsula is actively transported by sea, if the people of the peninsula really transport people out on a large scale, how can it not be discovered?"

"It's not on a large scale, it's in batches." After hearing this, the silver-haired Meg said without pause: "Every once in a while, a trading ship arrives in Seagull Town, and those trading merchant ships can pass by the vicinity of the Crab Claw Peninsula and pick up the smugglers there to return home, as long as you are careful, it is inconspicuous. ”

Lan Li frowned when she heard this.

Pantos is one of the nine free trade city-states, across the sea from King's Landing, while Seagulltown is a major trading city on the northern shore of the Crab Claw Peninsula, on the edge of the valley, and one of the five major cities of Westeros.

The other four are King's Landing, Old Town in Riverlands, White Harbor in the north, and Lannister Harbor in the west.

Seagull Town and Pantos are not far away, so there must be a lot of trade, and the route between them does pass along the Crab Claw Peninsula, so it is not incomprehensible to say that there is such cover.

However, if this is the case, then does it mean that Pantos, one of the nine free trade city-states, has also joined the Targaryens?

He had heard about the Targaryens' ties to several of the free city-states, but he hadn't found any hard evidence, just some rumors, and now the matter was ......

Thinking about this, Lan Li asked, "How did you find out about this news?" ”

"We have our own way." Mei Ge replied, but after thinking about it, she seemed to feel that this was not enough to show her "sincerity", so she added: "The people of the Crab Claw Peninsula are very xenophobic, but there are also some of them among us, and it is not difficult to disguise and sneak in to inquire about information in a short period of time." ”

Lan Li couldn't help but smile when she heard this.

"It seems that there are quite a few talented people among you."

"Of course." Maego replied proudly, "There are not many of us, but all of us have real skills!" ”

"Not a lot of ......," Lan Li asked thoughtfully, "As far as I know, the places where people like you appear are not fixed in one place, but all over the Seven Kingdoms, so how did you gather people?" ”

"You're not the only one with unique skills." Mei Ge smiled mysteriously when she heard this: "I have my own way. ”

Lan Li narrowed his eyes.

Compared with nine years ago, this person is a lot smarter, and his personality is much calmer, so he is not less hit, plus the people behind her......

"How do you feel standing here?"

He suddenly straightened up, his face dignified, and his eyes looked down at the silver-haired "man" standing at the foot of the steps.

"This island, this castle, and this chair under my ass were once yours."

"Ever?"

Mei Ge pursed her lips when she heard this, and then smiled at him: "I used to pee standing up, but now I'm used to squatting. ”

……

The conversation in the hall continued for a long time, and that night, several ravens suddenly fluttered their wings from the top of the crow's nest tower in the castle and flew in all directions, and then successively arrived in the hands of several vassals under Lan Li's command.

After receiving the letter, the Earl of Sandras of Miaogang did not hesitate to gather ships and soldiers to prepare to snipe smugglers in the waters of the Crab Claw Peninsula, while the sharp-horned Earl of Bar Amon looked at his only son, and coughed and ordered his subordinates to do the same.

Count Valerian of Tidehead frowned at this, but he still responded to the call, but the speed at which he gathered his soldiers and prepared his ships seemed to be sluggish.

The Count of Setiga of Crab Island was overjoyed at the letter, and spoke happily to his round-faced son, who was waiting by his side.

"I told you a long time ago that running and crying twice will always work, you see, now the effect is coming!"

"But why didn't that guy say anything at the time?"

After reading the contents of the letter, the round-faced young man was quite surprised: "He guessed our plan." ”

"What that guy? If you want to call the Duke, be respectful in tone! The old earl's face turned straight when he heard this, and he said solemnly: "Duke Lanli guessed our plan, and said it in public, it was a warning. After saying it, he was still ready to intervene in this matter, and that is to take care, you know? ”

"So that one means ......"

"It means that he can honestly assist him in any way, and if he is clever, there will be no good fruit to eat." Old Count Setiga said, with a look of emotion.

"Ten years ago, I first met Lord Duke in King's Landing, and now I think I'm right."

"Is what is written in this letter true or false?"

"Of course it can't be fake."

When the old man heard this, he said, "If you want to ask the Iron Throne to send troops, you can't do fake news. But the Duke is going to investigate while exposing you, and the meaning is already clear, so we must respond positively......"

……

The merchant ships are not comparable to the warships used in war, and although there are not many vassals of the Lanli, because they are within the sea, each family has several warships.

Under normal circumstances, these ships would be more than enough to contain a sneaky merchant ship or two, but as if fearing that it would not be safe, the letters sent by Blue Gift were not limited to a few counts, but also to the Graffsons of Vale.

The Graffsons are powerful in the Vale, ruling the port city of Seagulltown, not far from Dragonstone, separated only by a crab claw peninsula that stretches from the land into the ocean.

However, compared to the barren Dragonstone, Seagull Town, a trading city backed by the resources of the entire valley, was not only rich but also powerful, so even if the current lord of Dragonstone Island was special, the young Earl Graffson did not take it seriously, but sneered after receiving the letter.

"Cooperate with Dragonstone to contain our business partners in Pantos? When I was his vassal? How dare you instruct ......"

"The Duke of Dragonstone's performance in Riverbend is enough to prove that he has a lot of brains, my lord, maybe we can sell him a good deal in this matter." The steward of the Grafson family, who was beside him, also saw the contents of the letter and made a proposal.

"What if he has a brain, his territory is too small, and there is no possibility of inheriting the Iron Throne, we don't need to pay this price to curry favor with him." Count Graffson replied, secretly thinking about something else, but after a moment of hesitation, he extinguished the thought.

"We're only in charge of watching the show." He spoke to the steward.
