Chapter 208

Zhao Mai drove "the Che", disguised as a carriage, along the king's road to the north. The road is flat, the wheels run over a layer of fine sand, making a pleasant rustle. The warm and humid wind from the woods brings the fragrance of flowers and trees. If you raise your ears, you can vaguely hear the sound of pheasants flapping their wings, and the crisp sound of deer walking through the forest, stepping on the branches.

The road is not lonely, often can see a group of people and horses marching in columns. They were all armed, talking and laughing, making a lot of noise. Most of these people on horseback hold high flags with complicated or simple emblems. Zhao Mai only knows the family emblems of several big families, such as black wolf head of stark family, Golden Lion of Lannister family and Baoguan bucks of bailasien family. Some of the larger affiliated families, such as the Skinner, such as the double castle, such as the bear, he also has a certain understanding of these. But along the way, Zhao Mai did not see these flags.

Zhao Mai said hello to them, and the other side responded warmly to him. In a few words, Zhao Mai knew the information he needed. These Knights marching southward rushed to the city of King's landing to participate in the "prime minister's martial arts contest". Duke ned stark, the leader of the northern frontier, was invited by his good brother, the king who almost became his brother-in-law, Robert byrashien, to take over as the new prime minister Jon Aileen, the former guardian of the eastern frontier who died of "sudden illness" - the "Godfather" of the two. The prime minister has great power and is known as the "hand of the king" to assist the king in managing the country. Even in some cases, the prime minister can give orders like a king, which can be said to be a position favored by the careerists, strategists and ambitious people.

King Robert had few people to trust, but Duke stark was definitely one of them. Since the new prime minister is in place, he can enjoy himself more freely. A contest to celebrate the new prime minister was born. This is a grand meeting that has influenced the whole of Westeros. Knights, soldiers and fighters from south to North all hope to show their skills in this grand meeting and win the favor of the king, so as to achieve both fame and wealth.

"I wish you a good start!" Zhao Mai screamed and sent out the same blessing to every group of travelers. Such blessings are often rewarded with good intentions. Through the stories of these travelers, Zhao Mai knows that there is a good hotel not far ahead, near the Sanhe river. Although the charge is higher, the goods are genuine. At least the mutton is cut from the lamb, not a mouse or a dog; unless the guest can't afford to dilute it, neither the wheat wine nor the fruit wine is mixed with water.

Well, let go of pheasants or rabbits in the woods and go out at night! After more than half a year's desert life of grain reserves, now see the green woods and grasslands very want to Sahuan, look at Zhao Mai's eyes with irrepressible desire.

"All right, all right, stop humming and run!" Zhao Mai turned to open the door and let the big dog jump out. "Remember not to run too far. It's not good to play too crazy."

The grain reserve wagged its tail and jumped into the woods, arousing a group of birds. Zhao Mai continued to drive north along the road, but he didn't notice that he was holding a heart spear and was poking his head out of the window. Rotten spots appeared on the surface of Xinmu spear, which expanded continuously. A few fluffy roots of Xiaohua are entangled in the heart wood spear, and are constantly absorbing this weapon.

After a while, it rained. Raindrops are warm, and the feeling of touching them is very gentle. Zhao Mai simply did not wear a cloak, but let the rain still with the taste of summer drench on his body. His horsetail hair soon became heavy and close to his scalp. The rain also drenched the sleeves and trousers, but the trunk protected by tireless leather armour was still dry. Not to mention a warm rain, even the snowstorm will be blocked by the magic armor, which will not affect Zhao Mai's health at all.

The full moisture soon turned into a gray mist, which filled the woods. The leaves were hit by raindrops and crackled. Zhao Mai raised his head and spread his hands, immersed in the natural force full of water vapor. The long dry body has been restored, and the balance has been maintained again.

The environment here is quite beneficial to Zhao Mai. The forest is the place he is most familiar with. The vibrant vegetation exudes a warm and comfortable feeling, which is very helpful to soothe the mind hurt by the extremely hot environment of atas. The curse of blaspheming magic is still on Zhao Mai. When he practices the natural force, he will come out to make trouble and slow him down. However, the natural force here in westero is gradually calming the anger and sorrow from another world, and the curse of blasphemy has faded.

There is no such effect on earth. Maybe only those places where the environment has been protected have such characteristics? Zhao Mai has been in the city for several days on earth, which may be one reason.

Before the ground began to get muddy, Zhao Mai smelled the smoke of firewood from the fog. Accompanied by, there is a faint smell of food, sweet cake pastry, there is also a strong smell of stew cooking. It seems that the hotel is not far away.

Zhao Mai whistled hard, and then called out to reserve grain. Just listen to a crackle sound, reserve grain directly sent to Zhao Mai's side. He had a big wild duck in his mouth. After he put it on the seat of the car, he put the dog's head into Zhao Mai's hand and asked for praise.Zhao Mai rubbed his wet hair hard and drove around a small corner. Sure enough, he saw a hotel on the side of the road with most of his body embedded in the forest. It's a big three story house. The foundation and the first floor are made of stone, painted with gray lime and paint. It's used as a saloon hall. The upper two floors are of wooden structure, and rooms with windows are used as guest rooms. In front of the hotel is an open space with a well. The well water will be put in the sink for half a day, and then it can be fed to the livestock in the nearby horse pen. Now the stable is almost full, with more than 20 strong horses in it, some with saddles and wet shawls. It seems that some horse owners are very lazy, and they go to have a good time without taking care of their horses.

The sign on the outside of the hotel said "kneel for the Lord", and inside came the sound of laughter. Although it was not noisy, it was warm. In the sound of the collision of cups and plates, there are the sounds of harp and singing. With simple and repetitive tunes, rhythmic voice and not very rhymed lyrics, it is estimated that this is a poor bard who failed to learn real skills from master.

A slightly fat woman pushed the door open, warm light from the doorframe behind her slowly flowing out, into the rain. Her temples are gray and her waist is round. She is no longer as beautiful as she was when she was young. But her skill is more vigorous, carrying a large basin of clothes that need to be washed, and she can't see how hard it is. It seems that she didn't expect that when it rained, there would be such a slow and leisurely traveler as Zhao Mai, or simply didn't hear the sound outside. She was startled when she came out.

Hiding the chewing tobacco in her mouth, Madame Martha not Superman and Batman's mother Hyde greet each other warmly. She would not be so stupid as to get wet in her clothes, unless she saw the big fish flag running to the city. The place where the hotel is located is under the management of Tuli family in Benliu city. The big fish is used as the family emblem to symbolize the richness of the Three Gorges River Basin. As long as it's not the Lord, others are just guests. It's not worth her being too enthusiastic.

Zhao Mai jumped down from the carriage with a big wild duck in his hand. "I want something to eat and drink, and I'll take shelter from the rain. I hit a duck on the way. Help me to process it. "

"The prey here belongs to Lord Tully, so visitor, your duck must have come from home, right?"

"You have a good eye!" Zhao Mai praised.
