Chapter 156 Letter from Gudi
He avoided the North.
That bitter cold land has always been out of tune with the kingdom.
By the time the Starks lead the army south, the war will probably be over.
Tyran continued: "The unrest in the valley is very troublesome, but Seagull Town has a port that can support battleships and a large number of soldiers."
"The Tyrell family in the Reach needs to guard against Dorne's invasion, but the Redwyne family in the Arbor Island has a powerful fleet that can support the battlefield."
"In addition, the Old Town in the Reach and White Harbor in the north are among the largest ports in the kingdom."
Everyone listened quietly and agreed with his analysis.
Rhaegar asked: "Lord Tailan, Old Town and Qingting Island are okay, White Harbor is too remote, and Seagull Town still needs to support Eyrie City."
"Prince, before the war starts, we should do our best to speed up the pace." Tailan said.
Rhaegar waved his hand, indicating for him to continue.
Tai Lan said angrily: "The royal family owns a dragon. The dragon flies faster than a raven, and a member of the royal family is more convincing than a letter."
"That's a good idea."
Viserys raised his eyebrows and said: "But there are too many places to go, and my children are too busy."
"Your Majesty, Aegon's maternal ancestral family is the Hightower family of Old Town. As long as he goes to Old Town, Earl Jobert will naturally help him communicate with the Tyrell and Redwyne families."
Tyran picked the easy one first and analyzed each one: "Princess Rhaenyra can rush to White Harbor and convince the Manderly family to send troops."
"Prince Rhaegar and Lady Jeyne are cousins. The dragon can intimidate the wildlings in the mountains and win the support of Seagull Town."
That's a good statement and reasonable.
Viserys had his old habit of hesitation, and subconsciously looked at Leonor, hoping for his opinion.
When it comes to members of the royal family, Leonor has always been cautious about his words and actions, and whispered: "The trip to the valley may be accompanied by danger."
The Mountain Clan are anything but benign.
Several Dukes of the Eagle's Nest were killed at the hands of the Alpine Clan.
Corliss said: "Your Majesty, the mountain clans in the valley are just a ragtag group. The dragon will overwhelm them."
Rhaenys thought for a moment and suggested: "Let Lanino go. He will ride the sea smoke to bring the news and check the real situation in the valley."
Viserys hesitated even more.
He deliberately agreed to Rhaenys's request, but as the crown prince, Rhaegar should represent the royal family.
Archmaester Melos took out his satchel and seemed to remember something, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have a letter from the Valley, which may be able to clear up the confusion."
A letter with red paint ink was taken out, Cole took it and handed it to the king.
Viserys opened the letter and read it carefully.
"Rune Stone City...Mrs. Leia respectfully...holds the wedding..."
His lips moved slightly, a small sound came out, and Viserys gradually frowned.
After a while, Viserys handed the letter to Leonor to read, and said displeasedly: "Mrs. Leia of Runestone City is engaged to her cousin Gerald Royce and plans to hold a wedding."
After Daemon left the Free Cities, Lady Rhea sought out Viserys for repeatedly urging him to divorce.
Viserys was so annoyed by her that he agreed to her request.
In the blink of an eye, Mrs. Leia also found her marriage partner.
Jaspi said with a straight face: "Runestone City is located in the center of the valley. Madam Leia is interested in holding a wedding. It seems that the situation in the valley is not too bad."
Leonor quickly read the letter, looked surprised, and said hesitantly: "The letter said that Lady Jane will go to attend the wedding, and I hope that members of the royal family can attend the appointment."
"Pfft..."
Tailan couldn't hold back a laugh and quickly covered her mouth.
Lady Rhea remarries and invites members of the royal family.
Do you want to invite your ex-husband Damon?
"This stupid woman, no wonder my bastard brother doesn't want to sleep with her."
Viserys had a sullen face, hating this unscrupulous former sibling.
"Your Majesty, this is good news."
Lin Man said slowly and logically: "At least the valley is safe. If you send a dragon knight there, you can get a lot of support."
Viserys understood this, looked at his eldest son and asked: "Rhaegar, what do you mean?"
By opening up the port of Seagull Town, you can gain military support from the entire valley and make sure you make a profit.
Of course Rhaegar had no objection and said with a smile: "No problem, no matter how powerful the Alpine clan is, it is only as good as the savages of the Crab Claw Peninsula. The gluttons will take care of them."
The mountain clans are barbaric.
Savagery represents ignorance.
Under the dragon flames, the mountain clan had no choice but to kneel down and beg for mercy.
"Father, Rhaegar and I will go together."
Rhaenyra lay on Viserys's shoulder, pleading softly.
Viserys frowned and said, "You still have to go to White Harbor."
"I haven't seen Cousin Jeyne in a long time, and I can keep an eye on Rhaegar."
Rhaenyra used Jeyne as a cover to worry about her brother going to the Vale alone.
"That's one less gap."
Viserys rubbed his brow with a headache.
Rhaenys said at the right time: "Lanino can do the job. Corliss is a good friend of Earl Manderly. He will bring good news."
Rhaenyra raised the corners of her mouth and gave her aunt a grateful look.
Rhaenys shook her head and did not look at her.
The two granddaughters were still waiting for Rhaenyra to give them the dragon eggs, so they thought they had established a good relationship in advance.
Seeing that the aunt and nephew were having discussions, Viserys was happy to see the blood relatives in the family enjoying themselves, and warned: "Go back quickly, you still have two children to take care of."
"I will."
Rhaenyra smiled, and she could ride the dragon with Rhaegar again.
The meeting ended and all the ministers were busy.
…
Time passed quickly and night fell.
Red Keep, Forge Room.
Ding dong…ding dong…
In the dark room, the sound of knocking could be heard constantly.
In front of a huge furnace, a foreign blacksmith wields a hammer and strikes a freshly made corrugated steel sword.
One apprentice is working in front of the furnace, while another is sitting on the ground polishing items.
Crunch——
The wooden door of the forging room opened, and Rhaenyra, dressed in simple clothes, walked in lightly and glanced around the room.
The fire from the furnace illuminated half of the room red, and the temperature burned the skin.
"Rega..."
Rhaenyra spotted Rhaegar lying on the couch at a glance, and stepped forward helplessly.
Rhaegar said he came to see the progress of the weapon forging, so he didn't even eat dinner.
The chaise longue faced the fireplace, Rhaegar rested on his back, his pale cheeks reflecting the rosy glow.
I was so absorbed in watching it that I fell asleep without realizing it.
Rhaenyra opened her mouth, unable to bear to call him.
Rhaegar's sleep had always been a problem, and Rhaenyra would let him sleep a little longer whenever he could.
"Go to sleep, you have your own little kitchen, so you don't have to worry about going hungry."
Rhaenyra sat sideways on the corner of the lounge chair and gently touched Rhaegar's face.
The blacksmiths were not surprised and kept busy at work.
From another perspective, Rhaegar is in a dream.
A vast and boundless lake with an island in the center.
The midday sun shines down, the green lake water is sparkling, and black swans are playing in the water.
"Hiss..."
A dragon roar resounded, and a giant silver dragon soared over the lakeside.
The war on the Stepped Stone Islands is still in the preparation stage, so take a trip to the valley and help out.
