Chapter 249 Xianglong Inn and the River Land(1/2)

Count Yohn, who rushed towards Gao Yuan with his sword in hand, stopped in his tracks with a look of disbelief on his face. He opened his eyes and looked up and down carefully at Gao Yuan who had just walked out of the blazing flames.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard for Bronze Yohn to believe that the clean and tidy man in front of him had just walked out of the red flames.

The magic mountain shrouded in blazing flames along with him has now turned into a charred corpse lying on the ground. And Gao Yuan standing in front of him at this moment, even the black and shiny hair on the top of his head is not curled.

There are no signs, let alone being burned by flames.

Under the pouring rain, the flame behind Gao Yuan quickly extinguished. When the smoke cleared, Sir John Royce and others saw the burned land on the scorched land.

The charred corpse of the Mountain.

The only thing left at the scene was the heavy armor worn by the Demon Mountain. And the armor made of fine steel now showed signs of melting. Raindrops the size of soybeans fell on the burned

Above the red armor, wisps of green smoke quickly rose up, accompanied by a puffing sound.

Walking up to the dumbfounded Count Yohn, Gao Yuan handed the head of the Magic Mountain to him with a look of disgust on his face, as if he was afraid of getting his hands dirty. He only heard him speak to the bronze Yohn and tell him: "Find someone you can trust."

My brothers of Arrynvale, please deliver Ser Gregor's head and armor to Prince Doran Nameros Martell of Sunspear in Dorne for me."

Prince Doran of Sunspear is the prince who currently rules Dorne and the lord of Sunspear. He is also the brother of the red viper Oberyn Martell.

Different from the radical character shown by his younger brother, the Red Viper Oberyn, this Prince Doran is a cautious, quiet and profound person. He never exposes his emotions to others easily.

Prince Oberyn made no secret of his hatred for the Mountain and the Lannister family, while Prince Doran had always concealed his desire to avenge his sister Elia Martell, who was killed by the Mountain.

Taking the head of the Magic Mountain from Gao Yuan's hands with trembling hands, Count Yohn lifted the head and carefully examined the Magic Mountain without resting in silence.

Then he excitedly raised his head and looked at Gao Yuan: "Lord Gao Yuan, do you have anything to say to Prince Doran of Sunspear in Dorne?"

Putting the Blade of the Evening Star back into the dragon skin scabbard, Gao Yuan patted Bronze Yohn on the shoulder and said, "Just let someone tell Prince Doran that I have taken the revenge of his sister, Princess Elia Martell."

Payback! Ser Gregor Clegane of the Mountain suffered painful torture before his death. This can be regarded as a little justice that I have sought for the dead Princess Elia Martell."

Bronze Yohn nodded respectfully, and solemnly wrapped Sir Gregor's head in his arms with linen. Then he looked at the Clegane family's followers who were captured by the knights of Arryn Valley: "Lord Gao Yuan

What do you plan to do with these lackeys following Ser Clegane?"

Gao Yuan's cold eyes swept over those who were subdued by the knights of Erin Valley: "What happened on the King's Road tonight must not be leaked to others."

"The hands of these guys who are following Sir Clegane to help others are stained with the blood of innocent people. Even if they are spared, it is just a waste of food." Gao Yuan said coldly, "As for

It will be up to you to decide how to deal with them. Do I need to do this myself?"

"I don't want to dirty my hands for them. Letting them die by my sword is simply an insult to me."

Upon hearing this, Count Yohn Royce immediately understood what Gao Yuan meant. He waved his hand towards his subordinates, and the mounts in the Erin Valley raised their weapons one after another.

As the stainless steel swords held high in the hands of these knights fell, screams one after another echoed in the dense forest.

After dealing with the remnants of the Magic Mountain in the dense forest, the Arryn Valley team headed by Gao Yuan once again braved the heavy rain and set off in preparation. The team of nearly a hundred people galloped on the King's Road, heading towards King's Landing City.

They had just fought a battle with the Magic Mountain troops in this area, so now they had to take advantage of the heavy rain and night to leave here as soon as possible. Although in this heavy rainy night, there were very few people on the King's Road, but

This doesn't mean that no one will pass by here.

Perhaps the heavy rain all night will wash away most of the traces left by them in the battle, but the blood-stained knights in the team will inevitably attract the attention of the teams passing by.

Human beings like to speculate and make associations, even if they have no direct evidence to prove to others that the attack and death of Sir Gregor and others were related to Gao Yuan.

But after they saw the blood stained on the knights in the team, they would definitely connect the attack on the King's Road closely with the blood stained on their bodies.

They don't care whether they have real evidence in their hands that can accuse Gao Yuan of their crimes. Those who speculate about this are not judges who uphold fairness and justice. There is no need to pay for those who have died and are related to them.

People who have nothing to do with it collect so-called evidence.

What they want is nothing more than a source of conversation that they can discuss with friends or strangers at the wine table. In a social group, there is no cost or price to start a rumor.

All individuals in the social group only need to pass on this speculation with their lips, and they can create a lot of false rumors and cause huge trouble to Gao Yuan and others.

On the King's Road that was full of mud and water, the knights of Erin Valley led by Gao Yuan were galloping on their horses. They were on their way to the Xianglong Inn.

This famous inn on the King's Road once had many names in history. It is located at the fork of the King's Road and the River Road. The current operator of this inn is Bronze Yohn, who mentioned to Gao Yuan not long ago

Mrs. Martha Hyde.

The heavy rain on the King's Road continued all day, seriously slowing down the team's progress. As a result, it was already late at night when they arrived at the Xianglong Inn.

The owner of the inn, Mrs. Martha, and the guys had already gone to bed at this moment. Bronze John came forward and knocked for at least ten minutes before knocking on the door of the inn.

A sleepy-eyed Martha Hyde opened the door for this embarrassed team. The knights of Arryn Valley, who had already had enough of the rain outside, swarmed into the lobby of the inn.

Seeing the soaked people crowding into the inn, the rain dripping from their bodies making the entire lobby wet, Martha Hyde suddenly woke up before she could speak.

She casually took out a handful of tobacco from her pocket, stuffed it into her mouth, and started chewing it. She stood there with her eyes wide angrily, hands on her hips, trying to find the leader among them.

Soon, she set her sights on Gao Yuan, who was wearing dark gold dragon scale armor.

"Sir, there is only one guest room upstairs left in the inn." Mrs. Martha approached Gao Yuan with a grin, showing her signature bloody smile, "I'm afraid this can't accommodate all of you. You are really here.

It's too late! It's all the fault of the tourney. There are many people rushing to King's Landing now. There are so many people. It's already very rare to have a guest room left. It's thanks to a guest.

Left the inn before midnight."

"Let my master clean up the remaining guest room, and me and the others will sleep in the stable tonight." Before Gao Yuan could speak, Bronze Yoen stood up and said, "We just want to have warmth.

There are not too many fleas in the straw, so I am very satisfied.”

"Sir, I have to tell you in advance! That guest room is at the bottom of the clock tower. Very early in the morning, the guys will go up and ring the bell. Many guests who have stayed in that guest room will find it very noisy.

"Mrs. Martha reminded while chewing tobacco in her mouth, "I can't help it, there are too many people! We are almost full before dinner starts. If you still want to sleep in,

I still recommend that you live in the stables with your subordinates."

"At least this means I don't have to worry about missing my meal time tomorrow, right?" Gao Yuan took out a golden dragon from his pocket and waved it in front of Mrs. Martha, "We will leave early the day after tomorrow, I believe this golden dragon

It should be enough to pay for my companion and I’s stay at your place these two days, right?”

"Lord Gao Yuan, how can we use your money!" Bronze Yoen frowned and looked at the golden dragon in Gao Yuan's hand, "Besides, giving her one golden dragon would be too much..."

Seeing that the golden dragon she was about to get was about to fly, Mrs. Martha hurriedly took the golden dragon from Gao Yuan's hand: "That's enough, sir!"

"Please rest assured, I will definitely tidy up your guest room and put a new bedding for you." Martha Hyde, holding the golden dragon in her hand, was already happy at this moment.

Flower, her eyes never left it.

"When I give you a golden dragon, I don't just ask you to tidy up my room. You also have to take good care of my companions. They are all soaked by the heavy rain tonight. Give them two more stoves in the stable."

Charcoal fire." Gao Yuan solemnly asked, "And call the cook of your inn and ask him to prepare some hot food for us to enjoy."

After hearing this, Martha Hyde raised her head and nodded seriously: "As you wish, my lord!"

"I'll call the cook for you. Do you want to dine in the lobby or go back to your room?" Although Martha Hyde had a smile on her face, Gao Yuan could tell.

The other party was only so enthusiastic about her for the sake of money. As for the honey cake that Bronze Yohn mentioned to him, she didn't mention a word.

Gao Yuan replied coldly: "I will go back to my room to enjoy it. As for my companions, you have to ask them in person."

After waiting for a while in the lobby of the inn, Gao Yuan checked into his room under the guidance of Martha Hyde. The room was located below the low and dusty attic, and could only be reached through a narrow and old corridor.

The dragon leather boots made a creaking sound on the old and decayed floor under his feet. Gao Yuan walked carefully through the dark corridor, fearing that the old wooden boards under his feet would collapse under his feet.

When he saw a brand-new quilt lying on the bed, Gao Yuan knew that Martha Hyde had not deceived him. The whole room had been cleaned spotlessly by her. He also didn't know if the guests in other guest rooms were treated like him.

He couldn't help but sigh that the power of money is really powerful.

Although the room had been cleaned very clean, Gao Yuan still smelled a musty smell, so he opened the window in the room to let in fresh air.

When Mrs. Martha Hyde opened the door and entered the room with steaming food, Gao Yuan, who had already put on clean and refreshing clothes, was leaning by the window, staring at the raindrops falling from the frame of the window and the blurred glass.

slip.

The patter of raindrops falls on the treetops and the ground, and the sound it makes is particularly pleasant. I don’t know how long this autumn rain, which has affected the entire riverland, will stop. The storm is about to come, and the wind fills the building.

, isn’t the current Seven Kingdoms just like this heavy rain?

In this long rainy night, ordinary people may not be able to see the scene outside the inn, but Gao Yuan, who has night vision, can see it very clearly.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not far from the window of the Xianglong Inn is the fork between the King's Road and the River Road. There was originally a ferry terminal there, and travelers could ferry from there to Harroway

Count's town and white city walls.

However, about seventy or eighty years ago, when Martha Hyde's grandfather was still running the inn, the waterway leading to God's Eye Lake disappeared, and now there is only a mud-covered ferry crossing.

There.

Seeing the fork in the road leading to the hinterland of the Riverlands, Gaoyuan's wandering eyes couldn't help but stop. If you follow the river road to the northwest, you will soon reach Riverrun, the castle of the Tully family.

, there is the natal castle of Caitlin and Lady Lysa.

Soon, the War of the Five Kings, affecting the entire Seven Kingdoms, will break out in the heart of the Riverlands, and Riverrun will be the first to bear the brunt. Because it is close to King's Landing and has the shadow-like power of Casterly Rock to the west, Lan

The Nestor family's current sphere of influence in the Riverlands has almost reached the gates of Riverrun.

In fact, before the War of the Five Kings broke out, many noble castles and local residents in the Riverlands had been invaded by the Lannister family. In order to retaliate against Lady Catelyn, she kidnapped her son Ty in this inn.

Leon Lannister. Lord Tywin sent the cold-blooded Mountain and asked him to lead his troops to the Riverlands, burning, killing and looting wantonly.

When Catelyn Tully was living in this inn, she once thought about taking the River Road to Riverrun to visit her father. She wanted to get some wise advice from her father, Lord Hoster, and also a warning.

His coming storm of war.

But it is a pity that even if Catelyn Tully told Lord Hoster about the impending war, it would not change anything at all.

The elderly Duke Horst has been bedridden for two years now and is unable to lead the nobles and vassals of the Riverlands to fight against the invasion of the Lannister family. Many nobles of the Riverlands have even secretly surrendered to the
