Chapter 0326: Tarth's Virgin: Brienne

"Your Majesty, as you approach the Blackwater River, please leave the woods and set up camp in case Stannis's Red Witch fires attack. Randolph Tully said.

Randolph Tully, a very burly man, with a resolute face. The most famous general under the Tyrells, the only general to defeat Robert in the Usurper War. That war was also Robert's only defeat.

Blue Road's gray beard is short and stiff, like a steel brush.

Lan Li sat in his tent with two rainbow guards standing behind him, one of whom was tall and had a mask covering his face.

Lan Li was dressed in colorful silk, and Queen Margaery Tyrell was gently trimming his face, white foam coating his chin.

"Stannis won't fire, he's still waiting for my reply. Lan Li smiled. His face is still so handsome, but there are a few crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.

Twenty-year-old Lan Li already has thin crow's feet.

It was the mark left on his psyche by Loras Tyrrell's death.

After Lan Li became the king, the first thing he did after taking King's Landing was to destroy the Lannisters and the Gregor family in the West, and avenge Loras, the Knight of the Hundred Flowers.

"Your Majesty, beware of Stannis's sorcery. Duke Tywin was killed by a shadow. ”

"Lord Lando, it turns out that it's a rumor. Margaery laughed.

"Your Majesty, although the Shadow killed Tywin's stand-in, it was the Shadow who killed people in full view. "I've never heard of this kind of black magic. Your Majesty, there is still half a day left on the agenda to go to the Heishui River, so you must be careful. ”

"Can shadows kill? "Probably the witch deliberately spread the rumor to intimidate people." ”

Lan Li's eyes were full of smiles, and under Margaery's face-trimming knife, he closed his mouth, and his eyes signaled that Lan Dao couldn't answer his words for the time being.

Unable to do so, Lan Dao walked out of the tent and mounted his horse, where four knights with round shields followed closely behind him, and five horses' hooves sounded sound, and ran back to the Tyrell army.

Lan Dao returned to his barracks and gave an order, and all the knights and soldiers worked together to cut down the trees around them and cut out a fire belt dozens of feet wide outside the camp tent.

A fire breaks out in a forest, and Blue Road has to make sure that the flames don't pass through the firebreak.

*

Margaery is very beautiful, with soft brown curly hair, brown eyes, and a well-defined figure. She was young, smart, and smart. She was protected and taught by her scheming grandmother, Lady Olenna Redwin, at the age of sixteen.

She gently cleaned Lan Li's face, Lan Li looked radiant, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes seemed to disappear.

"Your Majesty, General Lan Dao's words are very reasonable, we can trust Stannis, but we can't trust the Red Witch. Margaery said softly.

Known as the Queen of Thorns, Olena Redwyn is the real ruler of the Tyrell family, and Margaery is the jewel of her palm, the Queen of Thorns has carefully trained Margaery for many years, and Margaery's wit and cunning are the most appreciated and loved by the Queen of Thorns in the Tyrell family.

Lan Dao stood up, and immediately a maid ran over and put on a robe and crown for him.

"Margaery, I listen to you. Lan Li gave Margaery a gentle kiss on her smooth forehead.

Margaery giggled, "Your Majesty, I don't know how to prevent fire in the forest. Our camp is full of trees, and if the Red Witch attacks with fire, I don't know how to counter it. ”

"Cut out the firebreak, Your Majesty. The tallest blue rainbow guard said.

It was a woman's voice, but slightly hoarse, and she was taller than Lan Li and the other guard beside her.

"Brienne, take off your helmet and let yourself relax. Lan Li smiled.

His smile is charming, his temperament is elegant, and he is naturally noble.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Brienne removed her helmet and rested her left hand on her chest, her right hand pressed against the hilt of her sword.

She won the championship among hundreds of knights in the competition at the bitter bridge, and finally got her wish and became the rainbow guard of His Majesty Lan Li.

"Relax, Brienne, we've got sixty thousand around us. ”

Brienne's face flushed.

Although she is tall and burly, she is still a girl, because she is very ugly, she has been ridiculed for a long time, and she is shy and unconfident in her heart.

Nicknamed Brienne the Beauty by the knights, she is the only daughter of Count Selwyn Tuss, the "Star of Twilight" of the Twilight Hall, and the rightful heir of the Twilight Hall.

Tass Island is part of Stormlands, located north of Broken Ship Bay, separated from the mainland by a strait. Tass is a very beautiful place with mountains, lakes and waterfalls, alpine pastures and shadow valleys. Because of the blue waters nearby, Tass Island is also known as the "Sapphire Island".

The Tars family is loyal to Storm's End.

Brienne has extremely broad shoulders and a flat chest. Her face was round and rough, freckled, and her nose was distorted and deformed from being broken so many times in combat. One of her teeth is also protruding, and she can see it when she speaks with one mouth. The mouth was frighteningly wide, the lips were fat like caterpillars, and the hair was yellow, like dirty straw, fragile and dry.

The only fascinating thing about Brienne is her eyes, which are large and blue, and there is little brilliance in these eyes, only when the girl draws her sword to fight, it will shine with confidence.

"Your Majesty!" Brienne stammered, "I've heard about the Shadow of the Lake of Tears, and I know that the Red Witch can do fire magic, whether the rumors are true or not, I have to do my best for Your Majesty's safety, and I don't dare to be careless." ”

"I know your loyalty, Brienne, but don't make yourself too nervous, you're nervous, and we'll be nervous too. Lan Li teased.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I know it's wrong. Brienne sweated a little from the tip of her nose.

She did her best to avoid failing to protect her majesty and queen. She didn't want to make Her Majesty and Queen nervous because of her clumsiness. When she is embarrassed, the tip of her nose is prone to sweating.

Margaery didn't want to see Brienne so embarrassed, she smiled and said, "Sir Brienne, Ser Aemon, go to Randolph Tully's barracks, and ask Lord Randolph how to defend against the Red Witch's fire. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The two rainbow guards spoke in unison.

As Brienne and Aemon walked out of the tent, both Margaery and Lan Li smiled knowingly.

"Brienne loves you dearly, Your Majesty. Margaery took Lan Li's hand.

Lan Li smiled: "My people love me deeply. ”

"What I said is true, Your Majesty. Brienne's eyes are filled with blazing love every time she looks at you, and I'm a woman, and I know that very well. Margaery chuckled.

"If it's true, would you be jealous?"

"No, it won't. ”

"Why? I don't believe it!"

"She's going to do anything to protect you, and she's going to protect me at all costs. Because of love, her loyalty, purity and sincerity. Margaery laughed. Her hand gently rubbed Lan Li's hand, "Your Majesty, we have been married for so long, and my brother Loras has rested in peace, please, you should come back to me." Margaery's right hand climbed up Lan Li's neck and hung herself on Lan Li's burly body, "I want you, Your Majesty, and I will give birth to an heir for you." ”

"It's daylight, Margaery. ”

"You are the king, I am the queen, we can love whenever we want. Margaery's red lips kissed Lan Li.

*

"Hey, noble lady. "A knight appeared in the middle of the avenue on a tall steed, his left hand behind his back, and a kind smile on his face.

"Get out of here!" Brienne's large hand pressed the hilt of her sword.

"No, no, no, I'm not here to fight you, and I'm not your opponent, it's hard to admit it, but that's the truth. Brienne, can you accept my apology? I hope to take back what I said at the wine table last night, and sincerely apologize to you, I really drank too much wine last night, and I'm sorry. The knight's tone was sincere.

Brienne lives with the ridicule of others most of the time, and at best she is treated with pity from others. When she tries to dress herself up to the standards of an aristocratic lady, she is sharply ridiculed for her devoid of femininity and lack of coordination.

When she tries to arm herself into a warrior according to her talents, she is scorned and discriminated against based on her gender, despite her strong fighting power.

Because of these factors, Brienne lacks the confidence that other female warriors like 'Daisy Mormont' take for granted.

Brienne has a desperate desire to be respected and accepted by others.

She is easily able to show her unreserved affection or loyalty to those who can treat her sincerely.

Her father, Count Selwyn Tuss, found three men for her who were willing to marry her, and no doubt those men were only interested in her inheritance.

The first two engagements ended in failure, and the third was with Humphrey Wagstaff. Sir Humphrey insisted that Brienne behave like a lady after marriage, even though Brienne was only 16 years old at the time.

She insisted that she would not accede to such a request unless she was defeated by Sir Humphrey in a joust. Eventually, Sir Humphrey broke three bones, and the engagement was ruined. After this, Earl Selwyn stopped trying to find a match for Brienne. But love is a wonderful thing, and Brienne soon fell in love with Lan Li.

As an adult, she went on a parade to visit the island of Tas. He treats Brienne very gentlemanly, making Brienne's maiden Huaichun, who has never been treated with respect from knights.

She is slightly willful and stubborn, but more honest, straightforward, loyal and determined. Despite the fact that most knights treat her badly, Brienne naively clings to her ideal chivalry.

*

The knight who came to apologize was called Rog, and at the reception last night, Rog laughed at Brienne along with the other knights, suspecting that Brienne had lost her body and was not a virgin. Their words were so vulgar that Brienne drew her sword in anger, and when the sword cut blood on Rog's neck, all the knights knew that Brienne was really going to kill Rog, and at that moment, everyone was stunned.

Lan Li, who arrived in time, prevented the tragedy and saved Rogge's life.

*

The first time Brienne met a knight who took the initiative to apologize to her, it made her very confused, she didn't know how to deal with such a situation, if Rog drew his sword and came out to compete with her for last night's incident, she would gladly accept it, and she would not be embarrassed now.

"No, no, it's fine. Brienne said.

"Will you accept my gift?" Miss Brienne. Rogge's left hand, hidden behind him, took it out, and it was a red rose.

"I ...... Dislike...... Flower. Brienne said embarrassedly.

"Do you still refuse to forgive me, dear young lady, I am fascinated by your kindness and sincerity and superb martial arts, noble lady of Sapphire Island, are you free tonight? I want to play the harp to you. ”

"I ...... I don't know...... I'm still in business, I'm sorry, Rogge, please get out of the way. Brienne sweated a little from the tip of her nose. Even in the face of the enemy, it has never been so difficult.

The knight Roger stepped out of the way: "Miss Brienne, I will wait for you tonight, I will play the harp for you in the moonlight." If you don't come, I'll wait for you all night until dawn. ”

Brienne glanced at Knight Rogge in a panic, not knowing how to answer the knight's hot pillow, she kicked the spur, and the horse ran past Rogge, and Suddenly Rhythm galloped forward.

*

The Walking Hunter with a green background and a red background - the family crest of the Tully family.

Under the banner embroidered with the coat of arms of the Tully family, a knight with a long sword and a red round shield on his back, his name is Konstantin, one of the knights who mocked Brienne at the wine table last night, Konstantin was Randolph Tully's guard knight.

He patted his horse and greeted him: "Hello, Brienne. ”

Brienne exchanged glances with her partner, who stopped, and her partner rode over the flag and into the territory of Tully's barracks. The sound of felling trees was heard in the forest, and the laughter of soldiers rang out everywhere.

Brienne stood up and said coldly: "Constantine, I am ordered by His Majesty to come to Count Randolph Tully, you don't want to come to find trouble. ”

"I'm not here to trouble Miss. Konstantin smiled, "Miss Brienne, I know where Lord Randolph is, can you allow me to take you to him?"

Brienne stared at Konstantin with suspicious eyes, there could not have been a knight so polite to her, she understood it.

"Well, if you fool me, you know the consequences. Brienne said unceremoniously. It's just that her tone is weak. Konstantin was very polite and polite, and she felt that it was inappropriate for her to be angry.

This is so abnormal, Rogge just now, and Konstantin now, all look weird.

"Miss, please come with me, it's my honor to lead the way for Miss. "Konstantin was polite.

Brienne followed Konstantin to the left and galloped on horseback.

"Miss, are you willing to accept my apology? Last night's incident, I really drank too much, I apologize to you, I hope you can forgive me!" Konstantin's tone was very sincere, he took out a tapestry from his arms, "Miss, if you don't dislike it, please accept my apology." ”
