Chapter 93: Zhan Sifu of the Red Fortress

Chapter 93: Zhan Sifu of the Red Fortress
Accidents always come before tomorrow

Aemon prepared for two days and planned to lead his army to sweep the Moon Mountains.

Before setting off, the valley welcomed new guests.

Long Lake.

Aemon rode a white deer and led a small guard team to greet them.

When we were half a kilometer away, a red flag came into view.

The appearance is a red fortress with a red background and white edges.

"The Redfords of Red Base."

Rhaenyra looked at the slowly approaching convoy and chuckled, "Lady Rhea is really picky. The Redford family is the blood of the ancestors and holds a very important position in the valley."

As he said this, he winked at Aemon.

Iemon didn't bother to look any further and whipped the white mare's butt under the other's crotch.

"Xu~"

The white mare cried out in pain and kicked her legs in a bad temper.

Rhaenyra was startled and held the reins to calm him down for a long time.

Not long after.

The convoy arrived at the shore of Long Lake, and two rows of Valley Knights reined in their horses and stopped.

I have to say that the Redford family's display is quite impressive.

There were fifty tin-clad Valley Knights in total, carrying several red flags.

The two knights in the front were both very heroic and wore more exquisite armor with the Redford family crest engraved on their chests.

One of them took off his helmet, revealing light red curly hair. He was a young man with an ordinary face.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

The young knight dismounted, placed one hand on his chest, and said solemnly: "Holden Redford greets you two, may the glory of the Seven Gods bless you."

"You're welcome, sir."

Aemon raised his hand slightly, indicating that he didn't need to be polite.

Rhaenyra asked curiously, "Are you Lord Redfort's eldest son?"

"Yes, Your Highness Princess."

Holden lowered his head slightly, adhering to the rule of not looking directly at others.

It can be seen that this is a conservative and polite person.

In the valley, he will be an excellent heir to the nobility.

Aemon made way for them and said, "You have come from afar, and Riverdale City has prepared a welcoming banquet."

Faced with the invitation, Holden shook his head: “Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I am here only to see my younger sister off, and I have to hurry back as soon as possible.”

He was not an ungrateful person, so he stepped aside to allow the person behind him to appear.

The other knight took off his helmet, revealing different short black hair and a handsome face that looked a little immature.

Holden introduced: "This is my brother, Adrian Redford."

"Prince, Princess."

Adrian, who looked less than twenty years old, dismounted and saluted.

Aemon raised his hand again.

Judging from the other person's hair color and face, his mother should be a beauty with the blood of our ancestors.

Normally, the Redford family of Red Base all have red hair.

The two brothers greeted each other one by one, and then opened the curtain of the carriage opposite.

The scene fell silent, and Aemon and Rhaenyra exchanged glances.

The valley girl who can visit the valley at this time is naturally the future daughter-in-law chosen by Lady Leia.

The curtain was gently opened, and a pair of exquisitely designed deerskin boots stepped out first.

Then came the light green silk skirt, revealing a section of snow-white calves.

When she stepped out of the carriage, her long light red hair looked like a dancing flame in the sunlight.

Aemon tilted his head and gave him a non-offensive look.

She is very beautiful, with long passionate light red hair, healthy white skin, and a tall and well-proportioned figure.

His head was slightly lowered, so his face was not clear.

But his pair of brown eyes are like a deer in the woods, and his high nose bridge shows his heroic spirit.

Judging from her appearance alone, she is a classical beauty with a style similar to her mother, Lady Rhea.

It is indeed a carefully selected character.

"Your Highness, Jane Sifu of the Redford family sends you her greetings."

The red-haired girl bowed and saluted, her voice was a little hard but not unpleasant.

She was very polite and repeated it to Rhaenyra who was looking her up and down.

It can be seen that the Redford family in the Red Base has strict rules.

"Welcome to Riverdale."

Aemon smiled faintly, appearing gentle on the surface.

No one knows that I'm going crazy deep down.

Jennifer Redford!

During the "Dance with the Dragons", she was the close companion of Jeyne Arryn, Duchess of the Eyrie.

Mrs. Jenny never married in her life, and it is said that she had an unusual relationship with her female companion, Janesfu.

When he was dying of a severe cold, he closed his eyes in Jen Sifu's arms.

"I knew my mom was unreliable, but I never expected her to be so unreliable!"

Aemon was helpless.

"Thank you."

Jane Sifu smiled faintly and behaved gracefully.

Horton said goodbye and returned with ten valley knights, leaving the rest to his younger brothers and sisters.

Before leaving, I chatted with Aemon alone.

"Mrs. Leia has given me such a kind invitation. I hope Your Highness will tolerate it."

"No matter what the outcome, Honglei will be a solid ally of Runestone City who will help and support each other."

After that, Horton put on his helmet and got on the horse.

Aemon nodded slightly, appreciating the other's honesty.

If he remembered correctly, the Redford family of Red Base was quite prominent during the "Dance with the Dragons" period.

Not only is Janesf the close companion of Lady Jenny, but the second son of the family, Adrian, was also chosen as the "Queen's Guard" of Rainiera.

Equivalent to the Kingsguard.

It can be seen that the Redford family’s family tradition is indeed good and worth winning over.

Yimeng assured, "Don't worry, I just think of your sister as a guest."

Holden was slightly startled, unable to hide his regret.

I still have some fantasies about marrying a Targaryen.

……

evening.

Eamonn had dinner with the Redford siblings. At the table, Jansif took the initiative to chat about some trivial matters.

For example, the glory of the Red Fort, the power of the family, and personal problems.

Yimon learned that the other party was 15 years old.

One year younger than Rhaenyra.

"I'm done eating."

Rhaenyra put down her knife and fork, wiped her mouth, and left the table.

Aemon glanced at it but didn't stop it.

He knew very well that Rainier had no emotion about Jensif's arrival.

Especially when he found out that the other person was a little younger, he was very caring towards him at the dinner table.

Yimon even felt that she had been watching his fun.

It seems like he really hopes for some development.

"Your Highness is a princess of extraordinary beauty, worthy of the title of 'the light of the kingdom'."

Jen Sifu also put down her knife and fork and praised with a smile.

Aemon said casually, "She's trying to adjust to being the heir to the Iron Throne."

Just treat it as a genuine compliment.

Zhan Sifu shook her head and said, "I'm serious. It's inconvenient for girls from the valley to travel. This is the first time I've seen the majesty of the royal family."

A woman's sixth sense is very accurate, and she can see that Her Royal Highness the Princess is wise.

But where this wisdom is used depends on who serves as the guide.

"I'm done eating, I'm going to feed the horses first."

Adrian stood up and left, whispering, "Little sister, you talk to His Highness first."

Aemon didn't stop him either.

Adrian was only 19 years old, three years older than William, and was already an official knight.

The ending was the same, death in the Dragon's Lair riot.

After he left, there were only two main characters left at the dinner party.

Yimon had almost finished eating and wanted to hear what the other party had to say.

"Prince, your mother is a shrewd lady."

Zhan Sifu folded her hands in front of her belly and said seriously, "The River Valley is opening up new territories. Honglei is willing to form an alliance with you."

"Me?" Aemon noticed the word.

"Yes."

Zhan Sifu said rationally: "The key to the rise of Fushi City lies in you, the Prince. Honglei has been neighbors with Fushi City for generations, and will also be neighbors with the River Valley for generations."

The distance between the river valley and Honglei is shorter than that between Fushishi City and Honglei.

The Changhu Lake flows inland from the Gorge Sea, forming a vast lake in the river valley.

These lakes divided into thousands of streams, which eventually flowed into the territory of the Red Fort.

Aemon was surprised at the other's wisdom and nodded, "The valley is in need of a good neighbor."

"If you don't mind, we can go a step further."

Zhan Sifu said something ambiguous, and quickly came back: "I heard that River Valley City has mass-produced a kind of honeycomb coal, which is a safe fuel made from coal?"

"That's right," said Aemon.

"Honglei has less land, but fortunately the grain production is not low."

Zhan Sifu finished talking about the advantages first, and then said: "However, the Red Fort is located on the mountain. Every winter, the cold wind will penetrate the thick walls, so we have to wrap ourselves in thick fur coats."

Imon understood: "You plan to trade."

Zhan Sifu smiled and said, "I can make the decision. I can exchange the food for equivalent honeycomb coal so that the family can enjoy warmth during the winter."

"no problem."

Of course not Aemon.

Just when I was worried about where to sell honeycomb briquettes, buyers came.

Jen Sifu was quick-witted and said, "If you need it, Honglei can sell it for you. Many of the family's secondary nobles and wealthy knights will be happy to buy it."

On the way here, she could tell that the marriage was not going well.

Otherwise, she would not have come to River Valley City alone, but should have stayed with Lady Leia and waited for her in Runestone City.

This proves that His Royal Highness the Prince and Lady Rhea disagree on the marriage.

Her original advantage will turn into a disadvantage.

If you want to seize an opportunity, you must first identify the other party's needs.

Let's try to see how much His Royal Highness the Prince values the valley and whether he has a chance to compete with Her Royal Highness the Princess as the Crown Prince.

"That's naturally best."

Yimon smiled and said, "How can I help you?"

There is give and take in everything, and you can't just take advantage.

as predicted.

Zhan Sifu stopped smiling and became sad: "My mother had a difficult labor when she gave birth to me, and my father never remarried."

Aemon listened in silence.

The other party added: "Before leaving, my father told me to be careful with my words and actions and try my best to please His Highness."

"If you fail, I will be sent to the Eagle's Nest to be Madam Jenny's female companion."

"Mrs. Jenny's female companion is a good thing."

Aemon said objectively.

He did not exist in the original world, and the other party probably skipped the marriage and went straight to Eagle's Nest City.

Zhan Sifu didn't know what the other party was thinking, so she said implicitly, "My father is old, and as his daughter, I want to spend more time with him. Please allow me to stay in River Valley City for a while, and I don't have to go to Eagle's Nest City so early."

Aemon smiled. "It's a small matter."

After talking for a long time, the fox's tail finally came out.

Another bad woman with eight hundred tricks on her head.

Zhan Sifu stood up, bowed, and said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness."

"go to bed early."

Aemon waved his hand and turned away.

Dale was still unfinished, with only one palace, Summerhall.

There is a bedroom for rest behind the hall, which is enough for him and Rainiera.

As a man, he didn't squeeze with them.

When I stepped out of the door, it was already dark.

A full moon hangs high in the sky.

On the white marble steps, two figures sat together and chatted.
