Chapter 221 Peeping

The old palace is very simple, almost the most uh, unpretentious royal palace Dany has ever seen.

Two tall towers, with a four-meter-high gray hall sandwiched between them, disappeared.

"Look, the tower on the left is slender and has a 10-meter-long gold-plated iron thorn on the top," the white knight pointed to the tall tower outside the window, and introduced, "The spear tower represents the spear of the Martell family.

The one on the right, the tower of the sun, the tower of the sun, is a beautiful tower topped by a hall with golden vaults and stained glass walls, representing the sun of Rhoyna.

The main hall in the middle is the banquet hall, where Prince Martell formally entertained guests. "

At this time, they had already entered a wooden restaurant opposite the Old Palace, sitting on the second floor by the window, drinking Dorne's specialty orange juice while observing the opposite Old Palace.

The Old Palace is called the Old Palace because Marlon Martell built a new palace, Water Gardens, 15 kilometers west of Sunspear to marry Daenerys Targaryen.

Well, that Daenerys from 130 years ago.

I don't know if the previous generation of Targaryen was too useless, or the Dornish people really added the skill of "guerrilla behind enemy lines" to the god level.

In short, the other six kingdoms have long surrendered to the Dragon family, but Dorne rebelled today and tomorrow. From Aegon the Conqueror 300 years ago to St. Baelor 150 years ago, nearly two centuries ago, Dorne rebelled. Has been against Targaryen.

The population is the smallest, and the resources are the most desolate, but the dragon family still has giant dragons (dragons were not extinct in the early days of the dynasty), but the Dornish people almost drained Targaryen's blood.

Not to mention the Targaryen who died at the hands of the Dornish people, even the dragon Merasis, who was seven with Balerion, also died in this land.

To be honest, when Dany saw the history of the conquest of Dorne, her first thought was another "three thousand Unsullied defending Qohor".

She didn't understand. It's true that the environment in Dorne is harsh, it's true that there are many sandy and complex hills, and it's true that the people of Dorne are unruly, but because of this, there is not much land for people to live in!

Not to mention anything else, just take Sunspear City—Sunspear City has fallen into Targaryen's hands many times, block the Greenblood River route, and then send giant dragons to burn the crops and fruit forests on both sides of the river bank, and wait ten or eight years. Let's see how many people are left in Dawn.

Among the Seven Kingdoms, Dorne has the smallest population, less than 50, and most of them are gathered in the Green Blood River Basin. Regardless of other places, as long as they control the Green Blood River, how can the Dorne people persist?

Just like the three thousand Unsullied, the Dornishmen also played, or Targaryen and the other six nations were collectively put on the "stupid" buff, and they fought back and forth for nearly 200 years, so they lost The only way to end the war is through marriage.

Let Dany deal with the Dornish people. She is sure to reduce the casualties to less than 1000 people, and one dragon is enough.

Don't care about the castle, just clear the crops, factories, docks and ships at designated points. It doesn't matter if the Dornish people accept it or not. She just insists on bringing Dorne back to the Stone Age within 20 years.

If she is given 50 years, she can even end the Dorne civilization, making all the Dorne people unable to write their own names, and completely reduced to a group of ruthless savages who drink blood.

Well, farther away.

Dany is not the first "Daenerys" of the Targaryen family. 100 years ago, Targaryen, who couldn't survive, married Martell in humiliation.

The two sides exchange girls, you marry my princess, I marry your princess, and the princess who marries Martell is called "Daenerys".

To put it bluntly, "Daenerys" is a variant of "Denise", and even "Dreamwalker" Denise is not necessarily the same generation. The ghost knows how many Targaryens have appeared in Valyria for more than 6000 years. An ancestor of "Dani".

"Do you want to meet Prince Martell?" The white knight asked in a low voice.

"Why see him?"

"He is not the most loyal ally of House Targaryen, but he must have common enemies with you," Barristan said slowly, "Tywin Lannister!"

"Tywin is dead."

"I don't think Prince Martell is so easy to satisfy," the white knight said.

"You also heard on the way here that his brother Oberyn died at the hands of the Magic Mountain, but His Royal Highness locked up the rioting Sand Snakes in order to calm things down." Dany spread her hands and said.

Speaking of Oberyn Martell, one can't help but sigh: The fate of the Lancers is so miserable!

In the judicial system under the doctrine of the Seven Gods, there is a very cheating tradition in Dani's view, trial by combat.

Any criminal, as long as he resolutely refuses to admit his crime during the trial process—even if there are witnesses and evidence, he can also challenge the plaintiff as a defendant.

For example, Wang Wu strengthened Zhang San's wife. Afterwards, the village chief led the villagers to arrest Wang Wu and tried his crimes in public.

But Wang Wu quibbled, "The man who pressed Zhang San's wife is not me, but he looks a bit like me. If you don't believe me, let's come to a trial by martial arts, and the Seven Gods will prove my innocence." Zhang San's lungs exploded, but He can only compete with Wang Wu single-handedly.

If Zhang San wins, Wang Wu is a strong criminal, damn it; if he loses, not only Zhang San's life will not be saved, but Wang Wu will also completely wash away the "stigma" on his body.

Of course, if the village chief is absolutely sure that Wang Wu is a strong criminal, he can also refuse his request for a trial by combat, or help Zhang San find a good representative for the competition and kill Wang Wu directly.

But throughout the history of Westeros, almost no noble lords and members of the royal family came forward to stop the trial by combat.

Well, the big lords and members of the royal family are qualified to stop them, they are equivalent to the "village chiefs" in Wang Wu and Zhang San's villages.

For example, Tyrion in "The Purple Wedding", he was accused of killing the king and killing his relatives (poisoned and killed his nephew Joffrey).

Queen Cersei hated this "idol" to death. When all the evidence was against Tyrion, he proposed a trial by combat. Cersei couldn't refuse, she was the Queen Regent!

Tyrion originally planned to find the mercenary Bronn as a representative. After all, he was an old acquaintance. When he was in the Eagle's Nest City, Bronn took the initiative to stand up to represent the little devil and fight Lysa's great knight.

However, the representative of the contest arranged by Cersei is the Magic Mountain, theoretically the current number one knight of the Seven Kingdoms (Barristan is old, Arthur Dayne is dead, and the post-knight era with talents is dying), and the conditions for opening are not low ——As long as Bronn refuses Tyrion, Queen Cersei helps him marry the daughter of the Earl of Stokeworth.

Well, this is different from the plot of "Game of Thrones" in Dani's memory.

The person who finally helped the little devil in the contest was the "Red Viper" Oberyn Martell, the younger brother of Prince Dorne and the brother of Dany's sister-in-law Elia.

The Devil's Mountain raped and killed Princess Dorne, and also killed her child. Oberyn wanted to avenge his sister, nephew, and niece.

He almost succeeded, but he talked a lot, and he was "lucky"-who called him a spearman!

Here it is the same as the plot of "Quanyou". The mountain, who was poisoned and lying on the ground waiting to die, suddenly grabbed Oberyn's leg, pulled him down, and then crushed the Dornish man's head with his hands.

Well, with this strength, you don’t need walnut pliers to eat walnuts

Ordinarily, the younger sister, nephew, and younger brother died in the hands of Lannister one after another (Magic Mountain is Tywin's loyal dog, and he fought on behalf of Cersei). If there is a little blood, Prince Daolang should rebel.

After all, he is Dorne Martell!

How hard was Martell's bones when he was in the Hardanal Dragon's house?

A [-] army can't be overwhelmed, and the real dragon can't be overwhelmed with anger. They are all fierce men and women, but in the generation of Prince Daolang, they have shrunk into tortoises.

Therefore, there is no need for Dany to deliberately inquire about it. At this time, the streets and alleys of Sunspear City are talking about her prince's cowardly behavior.

Oberyn was very popular with the people in Dorne. When the news of his death came, the whole Sunspear City erupted. He could quickly raise an army almost without mobilization.

During those days, Oberyn's illegitimate daughters were also extremely active, spreading rumors of "revenging their father" on the street every day.

Well, the surname of Dorne's illegitimate son is Sand (sand), and Oberyn also has a nickname of "Red Viper", so his many illegitimate daughters are collectively called "Sand Snake".

Well, Oberyn had at least eight Sand Snakes and no sons, which is weird.

But within a few days of the Sand Snake's disturbance, Prince Daolang made a sudden move and shut up all the troublesome nieces at once. It is impossible for the entire Sunspear City to be quiet in an instant. He muttered behind his back, "The prince's spine is as useless as his legs." There were more and more people, so that Dany only walked around Sunspear before hearing seven or eight people talking about it.

To be honest, she was a little disappointed and a little shocked.

The reason why she stayed in Dorne was because Dany remembered it very clearly. According to the plot in "Game of Thrones", Sand Snake had successfully rebelled at this time, poisoned Cersei's daughter, Princess Myrcella, and stabbed to death the "cowardly and deceitful" Prince Daolang is about to raise troops to take the Iron Throne.

This kind of big event is worth her staying in Sunspear City for a while.

It is not the first time that the plot has gone awry, she can accept it even though she is disappointed, but through this incident, Dani discovered one thing: the 'coward' Daorang has far more control over Sunspear City and Dorne than she does estimate.

Even though there were countless people secretly expressing their dissatisfaction with Prince Daolang's "calm down" approach, Sunspear City's politics is stable, its economy is prosperous, and its people live and work in peace and contentment.

Dany figured it out, Prince Daolang may not have the heart to be brave and enterprising, but he is not cowardly. He made a safer choice for the people and Dorne.

——No matter how many Dornish people know how to fight guerrilla warfare, they are always limited in strength, with sufficient defense and insufficient offense. Leaving the familiar environment of Dorne, they are no different from soldiers in other places.

If you can't even pass the trials of High Court and Stormland, how can you be an anal king?

Well, Dorne is far away from the king's land, almost two thousand kilometers, separated by part of the bay and part of the storm.

Because of this, Dany is not interested in Barristan's proposal.

"Let's rest—"

The conversation stopped, Dani raised her head, a red shadow flashed past her purple eyes, she was confused for a moment, she shook her head, and said in a low voice, "Did you feel it? We are being followed."

Barristan got up calmly, and called out to the waiter standing by the corridor, "Have a pepper stewed chicken."

In a word, with a few routine actions, he has already glanced in all directions inadvertently, a few crows passed by the window, and there is no abnormality in the surroundings.

"No one is watching us, do you feel wrong?" After sitting down, the old knight asked doubtfully.

"This..." Dani heard the words, stood up and looked around generously, not even letting go of the street outside the window, and found nothing.

It was close to two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was already past the meal time. Although there were not only two of them in the lobby on the second floor of the hotel, it was very empty, and only a few silk merchants were talking about business in a low voice.

"Leave immediately after eating." Dani frowned.
