Chapter 107: Escort (I)
Lynn put on a light leather armor, and two layers of silk underwear were added to the leather armor, and now Lynn's underwear is almost all silk, without this thing, no matter what kind of clothes are put on the outside, the thread is easy to get into the flesh.
The reverse defensive stakes set up at Charlton Manor worked.
Last night, the skinny monkey and a dozen cavalrymen armed with short crossbows stayed at the gate of Charlton Manor to wait for the rabbit.
In the middle of the night, a few people were released from the hanging baskets on the wall, and they reached out of the gate of the manor, and tried to pull out the nearest oak stake, and were shot by the Grex Guards who hid behind the stakes in the dark night, and were shot by rabbits.
However, the Lord of Charlton Manor had no intention of surrendering because of this.
The gate of the manor was still unmoving, and through the outposts on both sides of the city, I looked inside, and even saw the peasant women in the manor beginning to drive the barn to the ridge in the manor.
That's what it means to fight a protracted war.
Listen to the words of Sterling, the skinny monkey, who brought it back early in the morning.
Lynn shook his head slightly, he just sent a team of soldiers to garrison him, and he was not afraid of a protracted war.
Not only not afraid, but also happy.
Today, with Lynn on patrol, it was not only the Knights of the Guards who were on patrol, but also 100 crossbowmen from the Tiger Regiment, as well as some powerful men.
They were equipped with large axes specially designed for logging.
There were even several ox carts pulled by mules to carry the soldiers' rations out of the city together.
I heard that there are no less than ten similar manors in the fiefdom of Twin River City, and Lynn's task today is to visit them one by one.
The wheat outside the city of Twin Rivers is golden and ready to be harvested soon, which is a good sign.
In two days, Lynn planned to hire a group of civilians who could not afford to pay taxes to harvest all the grain of the lord of the manor, so that the farmers and civilians outside Twin Rivers would be exempted from taxes, and Lynn would also fight the local tyrants to divide the grain, the best of both worlds.
As for those manor lords, let the new Twin River City Lords have a headache, Lynn's eyes flickered, and by the time next year, the riverland that was short of food would probably be even more chaotic than it is now!
It's been a busy day.
Things went very smoothly, none of the owners of the manor were to see them, and the friendliest ones also closed the gate of the manor, and threw out baskets of agricultural products from the hanging basket as filial piety.
Want real money or a poor woman who already has a lot of money in the estate?
This is a dream, everyone knows that Lynn will not stay in Twin Rivers City for long, pay taxes now, and when the new city lord comes, he will have to pay again, and the manor owners are not fools.
This is good!
Lynn repeated her old trick, and after the ten manor gates were filled with oak stakes, she looted the small farms scattered outside their manor.
The mule cart carried bread and bacon out of the city, and when they returned, the cart was replaced by stacks of grain, chickens, ducks, fish and sheep, and even the forage for the war horses to eat.
The sky between the rivers has been particularly busy lately.
The manor owners outside the Twin River City confided their grievances to each other through the ravens, and the conspiratorial manor owners complained for a few days, and then sporadic ravens flew to the Riverland capital Rushing City Mansion.
Want to pray for the Tully family to come forward and put pressure on Lynn?
This is delusional.
Amud Tully was scared out of the Twin Cities, and Lynn wanted him to come out of Riverrun once again.
Riverrun did send out a group of cavalry, but they were there to search for Brienne, the beautiful knight, who took Jaime Lannister from the prison of Riverrun.
The Tully family didn't want to offend the Lannisters now, and when they learned of this, Amud, who was licking his wounds in the Duke's mansion, panicked.
He sent his own squire knights, and divided them to find him.
Beauty Knight was previously the Rainbow Knight of Blue Rite, then her sister Caitlin's squire knight, and now that her sister is dead, Amud doesn't know where Beauty Knight is taking Jaime.
The cavalry split into three routes, one southeast to King's Landing, and one west to the Lannister's capital, Castle Rock.
The last cavalry headed north.
Brienne was dressed in knight's armor, her helmet was discarded, and her blonde hair stood out in the sun.
A beautiful knight hired by Lynn and walks down the path away from the avenue.
She didn't ride a horse because she had to take Jaime Lannister on the road, which was what had been promised to Lynn, and what she needed to pay Lynn for the Greyjoy family's execution.
Brienne, the beauty, led Jaime with her hands tied on a rope, and they had just taken a boat from the Red Fork River in the direction of Riverflowing City in the Trident River to the confluence of the Trident River.
The rest of the way, they need to walk back.
Because the river to the north was running backwards, Brienne alone could not keep an eye on a skilled Kingsguard while rowing, even if his hands were tied with ropes.
Jaime Lannister is bored along the way, and he always teases Brienne with light words.
James smiled and said, "The knightly title of beauty is very good, and it is very worthy of you." ”
Brienne sneered, "The title of Kingkiller is even louder, is there anyone more chivalrous than you when a Kingsguard kills his own king?"
Jaime pouted and nodded, the world laughed at his name as a king-killer, but what made fun of him to his face was chopped up by his own hands and sprinkled in the garden as fertilizer.
Jaime continued to provoke, "You're as strong as a real man, but it's a pity you're a woman. ”
Brienne pushed Jaime away, coldly saying that she was used to it, and she didn't want to ignore these frivolous provocations.
Jaime continued, "You're Catelyn's squire, but I heard she's dead in Riverrun, where are we going now?"
This time Brienne didn't lie to him, "Twin River City, there's someone who's very interested in you. ”
"That young nobleman from the North? he was so bold that he dared to kill the Frey family, and I heard that he was going to sell the Twin Rivers? It was a city that even my father, Tywin, coveted. ”
Brienne stopped, and she turned to look at Jaime suspiciously, "Are you in prison or enjoying happiness in Riverrun, how come you know better about things out there than I know?"
Jaime smiled, "Then it has to start with your previous allegiance to the master Lan Li, I grew up with him in the King's Landing court, he just likes to know some goosebumps around him, and my eyes are always in the distance, and I care more about the news that can affect the entire continent,
I am not surprised by his death, there is no inheritance to the Storm's Breath and a large group of vassals, but I have no idea who my enemies will be. It's just stupid!"
