Eagle of the Valley of Ice and Fire

Chapter 39 King’s Landing Troubles (4)

The dawn in King's Landing is not beautiful in Robert Royce's eyes. It is different from when he was in Seagull Town. The blue sea and the free sky often connect to become the sky-blue fields in Robert's eyes. The fresh air is so refreshing that the crew The smell of sweat has not yet emerged, but at most I can hear the snoring of countless masts as they sink into deep sleep.

Robert opened his mouth to exhale hot air and rubbed his hands. From Gulltown to King's Landing, the sea surface turned from blue to dark black. Now that he was approaching King's Landing, he could see disgusting filth wandering in the sea water everywhere.

The Grafson family is very good at managing the port. In comparison, it is no wonder that King's Landing smells so bad.Robert thought to himself.

Life in Gulltown was not easy, but it was not as exaggerated as Weimar complained all day long.The black cloak on Robert's body was already covered with rainwater. He encountered a heavy rain when he was still four hours away from King's Landing. The raindrops in the sky were as big as peas, and they poured on the ship like billions of glass beads from the Citadel hitting the hull. , even the sounds are very similar.Robert didn't see the products of the academy with his own eyes, but that didn't stop him from imagining it.

The captain of Gull Town staggered up to him and shouted at him: "Idiot! Idiot!"

Robert didn't hear clearly at that time, so he listened closely.

"You idiot!" the captain yelled, and this time Robert heard clearly. "Go back to the cabin! You idiot!"

The captain, the illegitimate son of the Shet family, had a bad temper. Robert obeyed his words and returned to the damp cabin.

Now he was standing on the deck again, with the entire city of King's Landing in view.

When we were in the Eagle's Nest City, there was still a thunderstorm in the morning, but the sun was shining brightly in the afternoon. The sun set after the rain, and the water droplets were given mythical poetry in Robert's eyes. The lord he swore allegiance to was not in the mood to appreciate this. The beautiful scenery that can only be seen in the valley and the Mingyue Mountains, the death of the former prime minister, and the urging from the king, Attis stood silently on the towering wall of the Eagle's Nest City.

"I trust the Royce family, and I hope you can do something for me." Artis said.

Robert agreed immediately without hesitation.

"Weima and you, go to Seagull Town and help me do things respectively." Attis's voice was as calm as the silent mountains.

Robert arrived at Seagull Town with the secret letter printed with the family medal of the Arryn family. Ambassadors from the Grafson family, the Shet family, and a so-called chamber of commerce in Qarth were sitting in the living room of Seagull Town, waiting for him.

The Qarth ambassador was very tall, half a head taller than Robert, and his skin was surprisingly pale. No wonder the Dothraki called them "Milkmen." As soon as Robert entered the living room, he saw this very conspicuous person among the crowd. Ambassador, I couldn't help but think.

"My Duke's Messenger~" the ambassador said with tears in his eyes, "Duke of the Valley, the Guardian of the Eastern Region of the Western Continent has finally sent you, a general who combines bravery and wisdom, oh no, you should be a great knight, You are sent to join the friendship of the Qarthen who are innocent of cruel accusations!"

The silk beaded dress danced under the steps of the tall ambassador. Robert obviously couldn't bear the enthusiasm. He frowned in discomfort and saluted Earl Grafson and the Schetters before answering the question. Messenger of Erth, "The Duke of the Eyrie will not tolerate any crime, nor will he let innocents suffer in vain."

The ambassador quickly wiped away his tears, "Qarth must be the latter."

"I hope so," Robert said.

Count Gerald Grafson's thick arms invited several people to sit down together, and sumptuous snacks were served to the table.

"The Qarth people's evil deeds of robbing grain and selling it off have not been punished yet." The messenger of the Shet family frowned and said.

The ambassador's face twisted into a ball in an exaggerated manner, "This matter has never been concluded. No one knows what happened at that time. I just heard that your only family framed you!"

The Sheite family couldn't sit still for a moment, and the meeting that hadn't even started was in danger of getting out of hand.

There was a clear sound of metal collision on the table, and a pin in the shape of a soaring falcon fell on the table. Everyone looked at Luo Ba.

"This matter has been entangled for more than ten years. It should be put to rest long ago." Robert persuaded him nicely. "This is not my intention, but the intention of Duke Attis. He is sorry that he cannot come to mediate in person."

"Ah, the Duke is too polite. We should follow the Lord's instructions and get together." Count Jero said, his voice slightly hoarse.

The Sheite family members repeatedly said yes, and the Qarth envoy even shouted "God bless you" several times and then stopped.

"Seagull Town's finances have become extremely poor without Petyr's care. The Duke wants to know why and has given remedial measures." Robert said, pointing his finger at the Qarth envoy.

The Qarth envoy shook his body excitedly, "Qarth is willing to be a part of the remedy! Qarth's port is unparalleled in the world. We will contact the Free Trade City-State to increase the transportation of goods to the Western Continent. Of course, the priority will be in Gulltown, the city of the valley.”

"Qarth?" The Shet family members frowned, "Lord Attis is not mistaken, right? Don't forget that Qarth's regretful guest almost assassinated Lord Attis, if not for that cat."

Robert didn't respond, just stared at Count Gerald.

The count opened his mouth slightly. He looked at Robert and seemed to understand something.

"Petyr did give us a lot of help. The customs officials he left here are experienced and familiar with the pirates in the Narrow Sea," the Earl said helplessly.

The Sheite family members also knew this very well, and he bowed his head and remained silent.In fact, the seagull town's trade routes were helped by pirates to a certain extent, but since the seagull town fleet of Longbow Hall surrounded and killed a group of pirates, this situation no longer exists, and the customs officials who have contact with the pirates have also Being dismissed from the valley, trade was naturally affected.

"Then please, Earl, please help me contact the customs official left here by Lord Baelish." Robert said.

Earl Jerrod said quickly: "That's natural. I'm familiar with the person in charge of the customs. He also knows the situation of the pirates. Sir Robert can know whatever he wants to know."

Robert sat half-lying on the soft chair with satisfaction, and he looked at the Qarthen messenger.

"Duke Attis hopes that Qarth and the Shet family can negotiate peace and work together to operate trade." The Shet family frowned, and the Qarth envoy shrugged, "I am extremely grateful."

"If this is Lord Attis's order." The Sheite family muttered.

Robert took out Attis's souvenir, with the Crescent Falcon logo on it, and handed it to the Schetter family.

"The Sheite family has no objection. Lord Attis can even forgive the assassination, so why can't we forgive him?" the Sheite family members said helplessly.

Robert chuckled lightly, "The accounts still have to be settled." He said to the Qarth envoy: "We can open the door to any chamber of commerce in Qarth, but I don't know if the royal family can tell Duke Attis who hired Sorry guest."

The envoy was stunned for a moment, with fear flashing in his eyes, "These unfortunate guests are a group of religious lunatics and have nothing to do with the royal family."

"We know this. The Valley will never doubt anyone in Qarth, let alone the noble royal family. They will even forgive the assassination organization that accepts this kind of employment. The assassin is dead and there is no need to pursue it. However, we need a name. That's all." Robert said according to what Attis taught him.

The Qarth envoy paused for a long time. He spoke something in a language from the Eastern Continent to the advisor on the side. Then he said to Robert in the common language of Westeros with a strange accent: "I don't think the royal family will give up to him easily." It’s a pity that the guest made such a request, after all, the Duke’s deceased father, as the Prime Minister, made such a request to the royal family and received no response.”

"The former Prime Minister didn't give you anything, but Duke Attis, now the Duke, can ensure the smooth flow of Qarth's caravans in Seagull Town and even the valley, as well as the reconciliation with the Shet family. There are still many people in the dungeon of the Shet family. There are many merchants in Qarth imprisoned." Robert replied calmly.

The Shatter family scratched their heads in embarrassment.

The Qarth envoy and his advisor looked at each other in silence for a long time after hearing this.

"The royal family will reply to you as soon as possible, but the name will not be leaked from the regretful guest. It may only be leaked by an insider close to the person with that name." The Qarth envoy said hesitantly.

"I think there must be someone here in Westeros who will cooperate." Robert replied.

Customs officer Moss followed Robert, with the Red Keep in front.

"Does Littlefinger trust you?" Robert asked.

Moss shook his head, "Littlefinger doesn't trust anyone. It's precisely because I know this that Littlefinger gave my position to others."

Robert chuckled.

"It's unbelievable to me that he did these things." Moss shook his head regretfully.

"If you act as the informant, I think the Prime Minister will believe it. The information Qarth has given is enough." Robert said.

"Maybe" Moss still shook his head.

People like this are used to doubting others, Robert thought to himself.

In the royal forest south of King's Landing, Genos shook the sticky mud on his trousers in embarrassment and looked angrily at the gold-robed men around him who had followed him out of the city to suppress bandits, his most trusted three hundred masters.

The fat man with small eyes in front of him was sitting on a wooden stake, wiping the steel sword in his hand with the help of tree bark, and washing the blood on it with stream water. "I thought it would be three hundred northerners from the Stark family." The fat man with small eyes explain.

"I did it in the royal council as instructed by the queen." Genos said rather aggrievedly.

"Your allegiance is to the queen, and my allegiance is to Lord Tywin." The fat man with small eyes chewed dried meat and looked at Genos.

Genos was angry, "Don't use Lord Tywin to pressure me, Amory Lodge!"

"It doesn't matter." Amory Lodge got off the tree stump and inserted his steel sword into the soil, "Lord Tywin arranged for me to act in a play after receiving the queen's letter. You have poor acting skills, so it is common for you to fail. "

Genos's face turned red, "It's all my fault for that Aylin who broke into the Royal Council. Damn it, I'll be in as much trouble as a kid if I die!"

"You took these three hundred gold robes out of the city, and the golden robes in the city were under the control of Attis Arryn. So, the entire city of King's Landing is controlled by wolves and eagles?" Rocky said "chichi" Laugh, said horribly.

Genos lowered his head angrily, "It seems like that, damn, it's really like that!"

"Hahahahaha!" Rocky roared like a mad dog, and Genos turned away in disgust, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Lord Tywin told me that three hundred soldiers of the Stark family controlled the Red Keep. The Lannister people were simply not enough to fill the gap between the northerners. The poor queen judged that these 300 soldiers were targeting the Lannister family. , I came here, hiding like a headless fly. I thought I would keep away the Stark family's northern soldiers, but when I got closer, I realized it was you, a bastard." Rocky said palely. The pig's face twisted viciously, roaring like crazy at Genos.

Genos held the sword tightly, and the golden robe was lost at some point. He looked at Rocky angrily, and the golden robe behind him looked at Rocky with fear, even though there were less than 100 people on the other side. , but there is no less intimidation and fear in his heart.

"What should we do?" Genos asked.

Loki spread his hands, "Anyway, Lord Tywin already knows that these things are what the masters think about."
