Seeing Viserys retracting his gaze, the Pentos man standing in front of the desk on the other side held a large tome with his round belly, looking at the detailed data recorded on it, and then continued to speak.
"Your Majesty, the total import and export volume of the port last month"
In King's Landing, Viserys is handling government affairs, while on the other side is the northern gate of Dorne in the far south of Westeros.
The hawk on the treetop watched the team transporting supplies go away. Then the merlin flapped its wings, let out a sharp cry, flapped its wings and flew straight into the sky, heading towards the direction where the team just left.
That night, the sky had just darkened.
A team escorting supplies came along the road of Prince's Pass towards this majestic pass.
They carried the banner of the Manwudi family in Wangzhong City. The leader rode a war horse, followed by a servant. The remaining twenty soldiers escorted the convoy, holding a few dim sticks in their hands.
torch.
"Open the door!"
Then the convoy arrived at the gate behind the pass, and then the Dornish boy Cullen stood at the front and opened the door.
"stop!"
"Who are you!"
There were torches lit on the city wall, and the Dornish soldiers on duty also saw the arrival of the convoy carrying the Manwudi family, but as a routine matter they still had to ask for the identity of the other party.
"It's your turn, Lord Dickon"
"Think clearly about what you should say."
Under the city wall of Prince's Pass, the fierce-looking knight from the River Bend standing next to the second son of Wangzhong City lowered his voice and spoke in a low voice like a threat.
At this moment, on the city wall where the Dornish soldiers could not notice, the Knight of the Reach had put a dagger on Dickon Manwood's thigh. If he dared to talk nonsense, he would stab it in and then spin it in a circle.
.
Even though all the soldiers of the King's Army might be wiped out, he, Dickon Manwudi, was definitely dead.
Dickon cherished his life very much. Although he loved Dorne and his family, he loved his own life even more.
Sitting on horseback, the second son of Wang Zhongcheng felt the dagger pressed against his thigh. He almost felt that the sharp dagger tip had pierced his pants and touched his flesh.
His throat rolled slightly, and he felt a little warm in his lower body. He didn't want to say goodbye to his career as a man, let alone die, so he could only speak to the city wall tremblingly but pretending to be calm.
"It's me."
"Are you blind? Don't you even recognize me?"
Dickon Manwudi raised his head while sitting on horseback. At this moment, the sky had darkened. There were torches lit at the top of the city. The supply team below the city also lit a few torches, but the firelight was very small.
Some of the soldiers at the head can't be seen clearly.
However, Dickon's voice is still very familiar to the soldiers on duty at the back gate. Wangzhong City is not far from the Prince's Pass. The Manwudi family often passes by here, and during this period, the Manwudi family also provided supplies for the defenders of the pass.
After several supplies, most of them were personally escorted by Lord Dickon.
"It turns out to be Lord Dickon, sorry."
The soldiers on the top of the city heard the sound of Dickon Manwu's flute, and then they held a torch and shined it down, barely able to see clearly that it was indeed Dickon who was under the city wall, so they hurriedly waved to their colleagues behind him.
"Kaicheng!"
Now that his identity was confirmed, Dorne's defenders did not doubt his presence, so they immediately raised the bolt and pulled the hinges to open the city gate.
After all, they had not received any information that soldiers from the King's Army had climbed over the Crimson Mountains and reached behind them. The overall atmosphere was very relaxed, and they did not think there would be any problems. Everything was under control.
Moreover, there are currently more than 2,000 Dornish soldiers stationed at the Prince's Pass. Although there are 4,000 King's Army soldiers in front of the city gate on the other side who are besieging the Prince's Pass, there are only twenty of them in front of them.
Even if they are really enemies, it would be too exaggerated to seize the city. They would have to kill a hundred people each.
Does such a person exist? Of course he does not exist.
Even if Sir Arthur Dayne, known as the 'Sword of the Dawn', comes back from the dead, he will not be able to face a hundred enemies at the same time.
Therefore, when the defenders on the city wall saw clearly that it was Dickon Manwudi, they were completely unwary and opened the city gate to let these people enter the city.
Franklin Fowler was a little uneasy.
Ever since his nephew, the only male member of the Fowler family, died in the Reach, he has been driven by anger.
He personally led a team to raid the castle of the Cenfold family. Unfortunately, he failed to capture Earl Cenfold and allowed him to escape. He only took it out on his wife, children, and children.
However, when all these things were done and he saw the bodies of Mrs. Cenfold and the child lying in a pool of blood, Franklin Fowler completely woke up and felt extremely regretful, and even couldn't help but slap himself a few times.
mouth.
Of course, he is not repenting of his attacks on women and children.
It was because he had touched the bottom line of the kingdom by doing this. Franklin Fowler, the ‘Old Falcon’, had once met Viserys in person and even exchanged a few words with him.
He believed that the young new king was a man who looked gentle on the surface, but was actually ruthless in his actions.
At that time, Franklin, as the Earl of Tianji City, participated in a series of events in King's Landing, including the king's wedding, coronation ceremony, and subsequent public trials.
He was deeply afraid of the young king's tactics. At the public trial, many nobles who were once powerful could not escape death. They even made ugly appearances. Some cried, and some kowtowed and begged for mercy. However, in the end, they could not escape punishment.
But now that he had touched the bottom line of the kingdom's laws, he naturally couldn't help but think of the consequences of doing so.
Although there used to be deep conflicts between Dorne and the Reach, and it was normal for the two sides to have border conflicts with each other, the situation is different now.
Times have changed.
The dim candlelight in the room swayed gently. The old Falcon with some gray hair rubbed the corners of his eyes in annoyance. He was getting older and his health was not working well. He just thought about things for a while and his eyes felt a little sore.
, the temples are bulging.
He is currently sitting in the room in the Prince's Pass. On his desk is a handwritten letter he just finished. The signature is the motto of the Fowler family in Tianji City, "Let me fly", and the title at the beginning is the Fowler family.
Lord Martell of Sunspear.
Prince Doran is the father-in-law of His Majesty the King, and the Martell family has a queen.
Franklin Fowler didn't know why he was a little upset. He had already begun to think about his retreat and decided to write a letter to Prince Doran, hoping that he could say a few kind words to his son-in-law and spare his life.
