Chapter 350: Spring Outing
On Friday night, Albert arrived, along with two civilians dressed as coachmen.
"Thank you!" said Stennis amicably, greeting his merchant representative, and it seemed that Albert had not forgotten his promise to him, and had found him two reliable drivers.
"Where, where, this is what I should do!" Albert said flatteredly, then he turned to the two men he had brought with him, "This is the coachman Rebia and his son Benjamin, they have been in this business for twenty years, and they are absolutely reliable. ”
The older coachman looked a little at a loss, he had never seen such a big man, and he felt that he should take off his hat so that he would not be rude in front of the lord, but he did not dare to move. On the other hand, Rebia's young son was much more natural, and even Stannis felt that he was a little arrogant.
Stannis, of course, knew how to deal with the situation, he stood up and stepped down from the throne, and took the initiative to extend a hand and shake the old coachman's hand, "Don't be nervous, your name is Rebia, right?"
"Yes, lord lord!" not to mention the nobles, even the village chief had not taken the initiative to shake hands with him, and Rebia looked excited, he trembled slightly and hugged the outstretched hand of Stannis, shaking it constantly.
Stannis's hands were sore from him, but he still maintained his due cultivation, "This time it may be hard for you, we are going to leave early tomorrow morning, so we want you to get up early at five o'clock in the morning and get everything ready, you don't need to know the destination, I will lead the way in front." ”
"Don't worry, my lord, my son and I won't sleep tonight, it's my honor to serve you! Thank you for taking us in after my wife died, if you hadn't built a market here, I wouldn't know how to survive except for the car. ”
Stannis didn't expect to be so loved, it seems that the people in his territory are quite loyal to him, maybe when he really wants to go to war with the duke, his men will not all flee overnight.
Looking at the excited old coachman in front of him, Stannis still didn't forget to add: "Remember to keep it secret, don't tell anyone about this matter until the end of tomorrow!"
"Yes, yes, Your Excellency, I pledge my life and that of my son that I will definitely take this matter to the grave!" replied Rebia.
"Needless to say, it's so serious! Okay, you go back and prepare, and you don't have to sleep all night, after all, the body is the capital of the revolution!"
Stannis asks Albert to send them away, and tells each of them a gold coin as a reward for the mission, because although the mission is theoretically not dangerous, there is no guarantee that anything will happen.
Now that the shuttle has been confirmed, it is time to identify the passengers.
There were a total of four people departing from Zivinie this time, and apart from him, they were Robert, Anya and Dinah.
In order not to arouse ideas on the way, Stannis and Robert disguised themselves as armed guards, while Anya and Dinah dressed as peasant women and were placed behind the carriage, and no one else followed, and Stannis wanted to return directly after the end to avoid any trouble.
None of the others objected to this, but Cortana seemed a little unhappy, because after all, this was the first wedding she had ever attended in her life, or was it a fairytale-like plot, and of course she hoped that she could dress up beautifully to attend.
Under her constant coquettishness, Stannis had to agree to let her take the ever-changing phantom kamikaze, and Stannis still made concessions in the little girl's love of beauty.
The next day, as soon as the first rays of sunlight came out of the sky, the four people who participated in the wedding had already been prepared, and at the same time, a carriage full of goods had stopped at the back door of the castle.
"Be careful along the way!" Advisor Romon instructed like a grandparent.
"Yes, yes, we're not kids. Stannis also said impatiently like a rebellious little bastard who was ungrateful, and it seemed wise not to bring the old man to the wedding this time.
"And Cortana, be well-behaved along the way, this time it's not a spring outing, don't make trouble for others!" The old man was obviously particularly uneasy about his granddaughter.
Cortana pursed her mouth, she looked very unhappy when she was named, but Anya on the side grabbed her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will be optimistic about her!"
"It's getting more and more like a family trip!" Stannis muttered quietly, then shouted, "Alright, everyone, let's go!"
Two hours later, the group, who had already crossed the Stags' territory, stopped by a pool of brook to rest, and Cortana, who was sitting in the back of the carriage, stretched and jumped out from under the carriage to wash her face with the stream, but as she turned the carriage, a hand that looked like an idiot was stretched out from behind and dragged her into the shadows.
The little girl was so frightened that she wanted to cry out for help, only to find that the owner of the hand was Stannis.
"Your Excellency, what do you want to do?" Cortana's face turned red, in this environment where no one was around, she knew what to happen next, as she was used to watching love stories.
But Stannis on the other side looked at the shy girl with a bewildered expression, "I just want to ask one thing, what did I say you blush?"
Cortana slapped her hot face with her hand, and then asked, "What do you want to ask, Your Excellency?"
Stannis looked around for a moment to make sure no one was paying attention to them, then whispered, "That...... Did Evelyn reply?"
It turned out that he was asking about it, and Cortana reproached herself for her crankiness, and then immediately replied, "No, Your Excellency, Miss Wolf did not reply." ”
"That's not going to be easy!" Stannis said as he touched his head in embarrassment, "I originally wanted to take the opportunity of the wedding scene to clear up the misunderstanding with Evelyn, if she didn't come, wouldn't it be in vain!"
At this time, Robert's voice came from a distance: "I said what about people? Why did a couple of men and women disappear after a rest!"
Stannis stuck out his tongue affectionately at Cortana, and the girl knew that he still wanted to keep it a secret from him, and winked at him knowingly.
The group then continued towards the Cold Burial Valley.
