Chapter 121 Dealing with the Iron Throne

Gavin straightened his slightly messy clothes and was about to walk into the city lord's palace when he saw Daenerys flying towards him.

Daenerys rushed to Gavin desperately and rushed into his warm and solid arms. She hugged his waist tightly with her hands, her voice was slightly choked and trembling: "Gavin, you I’m finally back. I miss you so much. I’ve been looking forward to your return every moment these days.”

Gavin also hugged Daenerys tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body and give her endless comfort. His eyes scanned Daenerys eagerly, and he asked worriedly: "My dear, are you hurt?"

Daenerys rested her head on Gavin's chest, shook her head slightly, and said, "I'm fine, Gavin. Fortunately, with Brienne's protection, I can wait until you come back safely."

At this time, Gavin looked away from Daenerys and saw Brienne standing behind Daenerys with a serious face. A sincere smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said gratefully: "Thank you very much, Miss Brienne. I will keep your help in mind."

Brienne straightened her back and said with a serious face: "Please don't call me miss, Lord Gavin, I am a knight now."

Gavin was slightly startled after hearing this, with a little surprise in his eyes. He noticed the dark sisters at her waist, and then looked at Daenerys, seeking confirmation with his eyes.

Daenerys smiled and nodded and said: "Well, yes, I think Brienne is brave and fearless. She is fully qualified to become a knight. I personally canonized her."

After hearing this, Gavin's face burst into a happy smile, and he looked at Brienne again and said, "Thank you very much, Knight Brienne. Your achievements will be praised forever."

Brienne bowed in greeting and said with a firm voice: "This is what I should do, Lord Gavin. It is my honor to serve your highness."

Gavin gently held Daenerys's hand, his eyes firm and powerful, and said: "Come on, let's go in and discuss how to deal with the threat of the Iron Throne next." Everyone walked into the city lord's palace together, preparing for the upcoming meeting. The coming storm.

Gavin and everyone walked into the hall and took their seats one after another. Daenerys waved to the waiters on the side, and several waiters immediately filled the wine bottles for everyone.

Gavin picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, quenching his thirst from the journey. Then Gavin looked around at everyone calmly and asked in a solemn tone: "Can anyone tell me the specific situation in detail?"

Qyburn stood up immediately, took out two pieces of paper from his pocket, handed them to Gavin respectfully, and said, "Sir, this is the testimony obtained from the assassin. I interrogated it myself." Gavin reached out and took it with a focused look. And read it seriously.

After a long time, he closed the paper, frowned slightly, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Littlefinger's name appeared in this assassination operation, and Gavin couldn't help but secretly speculate, was this an order from Robert Baratheon, or was it a secret effort by Littlefinger to create chaos and conflict? However, after thinking for a moment, Gavin smiled lightly and felt that the truth behind this was no longer so important. At this moment, his relationship with the Iron Throne had dropped to a freezing point.

Then, he turned his attention to Boris and asked, "Are those tax collectors sent by the Iron Throne still on Bloodstone Island?"

Boris stood up quickly and responded respectfully: "My lord, I have imprisoned all the tax officials from the Iron Throne, including those who disembarked with the tax officials at that time. The taxes they collected previously have also been successfully recovered. ”

Gavin nodded slightly and said with approval: "Well done, Boris. Drive them all out of the Stepstone Islands."

Then, Gavin looked at Qyburn again and ordered: "Send a raven to deliver a message to the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, severely condemning Robert Baratheon's despicable assassination. If he still has a glimmer of honor, I would like to have a duel with him."

After hearing Gavin's words, Daenerys looked frightened and looked at Gavin worriedly. Gavin patted her hand gently to show comfort, and said with a smile: "Believe in my strength." Then he looked at Qyburn and said: "Just write it like this, and keep an eye on Stannis and the royal fleet. , report any action as soon as possible." Coburn bowed and responded: "Yes, sir."

At this moment, Governor Harvey stood up and asked, "Lord Gavin, how is the war going in Reese?"

Everyone heard Harvey's question and looked at Gavin curiously. Obviously they were also curious about the progress of capturing Reese.

Gavin said with a faint smile on his face: "We have successfully captured all the land in Lys. At the moment, Hassan is digesting the results of this victory, reorganizing the prisoners, and repairing the captured warships. Next, in Essos As long as Mir and Tyrosh don't provoke us, I don't plan to make any big moves." At this point, Gavin turned to Boris and asked, "If I remember correctly, what happened to the academy recently. Are the officials trained in this batch about to graduate?"

Boris responded immediately: "Yes, sir. The assessment will be conducted next month, and after the assessment, they can be sent to various parts of the territory."

After hearing this answer, Gavin said to Boris and Harvey: "You two select a group of experienced and capable officials from Bloodstone Island and Gray Gallows Island to send to Reese. You can use the officials who graduated this time Select first to supplement your official team."

After hearing this, the two of them looked at each other and saw a hint of wry smile and helplessness in each other's eyes, and then both bowed to accept the order.

Gavin then instructed Coben who was standing by, "You also have to send a few of your apprentices to Rees. There is no Crow's Nest there yet. Go and establish communications first, and then see if there are any suitable seedlings there to be trained in the academy."

Coben pondered for a moment and responded, "Sir, why don't I go there myself? Those apprentices don't have much experience yet."

Gavin shook his head and said, "The Stone Steps Archipelago cannot do without you for the time being. You still have to be responsible for supervising those shipyards. The foundation of our foothold here is the fleet, and the importance of warships is the first priority."

Coben nodded and said, "Yes, sir, I understand."

Gavin breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a firm and steady look, "Everyone, the current situation is complicated and unpredictable. We have enemies on both the east and the west. We must seize the opportunity to consolidate our forces to deal with the war that may occur at any time."

Everyone responded in unison, "As you order, sir!"
