Chapter 69 The scene

Regardless of whether there would be any problems in this plan or how much blood would be shed after its implementation, Clay didn't care, because he had no intention of really agreeing from the beginning.

But looking at Sir Aenys Frey, who was pretending to be calm, with the madness and expectation hidden in his eyes, Clay suddenly had an idea in his mind, why not pretend to agree to him first?

How can such a verbal thing, without any ink on paper, be persuasive? You know it and I know it, and as long as I don't admit it, you can't make others believe it's true.

If he can induce the Twins to fall into chaos when the Northern Army moves south, causing the Frey family to kill each other, and with the White Sea Guards taking action in the city, Clay will have many plans to take over the Twins. Got a chance of winning.

As for the consequences, it really doesn't matter. First of all, when it comes to marriage, how can you say that you just get married? Even if Inis sends people to White Harbor and delays it for two or three months, counting the time, Clay should be there by then. He led his army southward.

The Twins City has really been taken. Inis asked him to fulfill his promise. If he didn't admit it at all, it would be over. The city was in the hands of the northern army. There was nothing to be afraid of.

As long as there is an opportunity for Robert and other great northern nobles to realize that the real kinkiller of the Frey family is Inis Frey, Clay doesn't even need to take action.

In the name of the King of the North, Rob would chop off his head. After all, the Stark family, which advocates honor, would not allow such a person to live a prosperous life.

…

During this meeting, Aenys Frey returned to his tent with great excitement, because Clay Manderly, who had never let go, after he described the extremely beautiful prospects, he had a fierce battle with him. After much bargaining, he finally supported his plan.

He will pay a fifty-year tax-free commitment to White Harbor, and announce that the two families are on good terms after the matter is over. If the Mandalay family has enemies, the Frey family will definitely support it, otherwise it will be blasphemy to the Seven Gods.

At the same time, the inheritance rights of the children born to the women married by the Mandalay family must be guaranteed, and he must go to Riverrun to announce this to the entire Three Rivers princes.

Before he takes action, the Manderly family will send Clay's sister to the Twins and make an engagement with his grandson Robert Frey.

This Mandalay woman will secretly bring a "dowry" worth fifty thousand gold dragons for Aenys Frey to bribe key figures in the Twins.

Finally, after he completes his plan, the Manderlys will openly support Aenys' power. Although the Manderlys belong to the north, their huge influence in this region cannot be ignored.

Talking about this step, Aenys Frey felt that his plan had finally taken off. The family's financial power had never been in his hands, and he wanted to bribe some key people. He had spent countless gold dragons over the years.

Once the Mandalay family's support is in place, his depleted treasury will naturally be well replenished.

…

Clay didn't know what Inis Frey was thinking after being so excited that he didn't sleep all night. He was completely free of psychological pressure and woke up on time at 6:30 in the morning under the influence of his biological clock.

When Aenys Frey, who was still in high spirits, found him, Clay had already finished breakfast and was practicing his sword skills unwaveringly.

Seeing this scene, Aenys Frey had to sigh with emotion. Clay Mandler, this previously unknown boy, has a tenacity in him. He practices swordsmanship on time every day and is very organized. This is not the case for those young people. The human game is the real killing technique.

Sheathing the sword, receiving the towel handed by the guard, and wiping away the slight sweat on his forehead, Clay put on an ally-like smile and said loudly:

"Morning, Sir Aenys." This attitude was much warmer than before.

Inis Frey felt more at ease, and he found Clay more and more pleasing to his eye. A smile appeared on his pale face, he nodded and said with a smile: "Master Clay, your swordsmanship looks really good."

This was just a polite compliment, and Clay wouldn't really say hello or be humble enough, he just nodded and was done.

He suppressed his smile, and Clay's performance was over for now. Next, he had more important things to do.

Getting on the horse, Clay said to Aenys Frey:

"Sir, let's set out. The blood debt of the White Harbor caravan has been paid, and we still need to find its debtor."

Knocking the horse's belly, Clay quickly moved forward.

…

After several hours of galloping, Clay finally stepped on this last distance.

When he met the knight of the Frey family who was supporting them and carrying the flag of the Twin Towers, who was also the lord of this land, he did not hesitate at all and interrupted the other party's useless nonsense. He raised his horsewhip and said directly :

"Take me to the scene where we found the body."

After such a long time, the body must have been collected, and it is impossible for it to still be lying near the King's Road, but Clay just wanted to see the scene, which was much more intuitive than other explanations.

In his heart, he criticized Clay's strength, but this man was just a wealthy knight. In terms of status, he was far inferior to Clay. Moreover, Yongyinis Frey who followed him also acted like Clay was the leader. Nothing could be said.

Bowing his head and saying yes, the knight rode his horse and led the way.

After walking for a while, Clay looked at the terrain on both sides and felt a chill in his heart.

Two hills undulate on both sides of the road, both covered with lush vegetation, and the King's Road is the only exit.

What a perfect ambush location, condescending and blocking the exit. The convoy couldn't turn around in this terrain, and even the horses couldn't escape.

He glanced at the guard captain behind him. As a veteran on the battlefield, he naturally saw the doorway. With a wave of his hand, the cavalry brigade behind him immediately rushed towards the ridges on both sides.

Aenys Frey's reaction was a little slow, but he reflected it later. He whipped the horsewhip on the back of the knight who was leading the way, and then the Frey knight behind him immediately followed the White Harbor Cavalry.

If there is really an ambush here, he will be in danger even though he has three hundred people under his command. His target is obvious.

What a fool, he couldn't see this situation, he didn't know any warning, Aenys Frey roared in his heart.

At the same time, he also glanced at Clay with some surprise, who was sitting on the horse, no longer moving forward, and saying nothing. This kid had never been on the battlefield, but he was more perceptive than him, who was used to seeing life and death.

Why don’t I have such an outstanding heir? Aenys Frey couldn't help but envy Earl Wyman. Thinking about his sons who only knew how to play with women, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
