"You're here specifically for me?" Danny asked.
Zhong 'er's lips squirmed slightly. "Yes, I heard that Her Majesty is in the Holy Church. I also heard from Ai Ju earlier that … King Stannis of King's Landing City made King Robert's illegitimate daughter the Crown Princess …"
"Ai Ju is the madam of Honey Peach Inn. She's well-informed and probably heard about Mia Byra and Theon from the mercenaries," Camp Nou explained in a timely manner.
"Zhong 'er, you want to be the Crown Princess too?" Danny's mouth twitched.
Zhong 'er quickly shook her head as if her head was a rattle drum. "I'm a prostitute. How can a prostitute become the Crown Princess?
It's just that the long night is coming and life is difficult. I also heard that Mia is an illegitimate daughter like me, so I want to take the opportunity to make some money. "
"You're honest." Danny was amused.
Seeing the Dragon Queen laugh, Zhong 'er cracked her fat lips and giggled along.
After laughing for a while, Danny asked again, "What evidence do you have to prove that you're Robert's son?"
"Although King Robert slept with all the women in the inn, everyone said that he liked my mother the most. After sleeping with my mother, he took his hammer and went to war," Zhong 'er said proudly.
Danny's expression became very strange in an instant.
"Sir Clinton seems to be wronged." The dwarf touched his nose and chuckled.
"The madam's name is Ai Ju, right? Is she here? "Danny asked.
"Outside the door." Camp Nou's priest responded and ran to the Holy Church hall next door. He called for the old woman who was praying under the statue of the Holy Mother.
She was a tall and thin woman in her early fifties.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." The madam prostrated on the ground with a fearful expression. She was far more reserved than Zhong 'er had been.
"Let me ask you. During the Battle of the Bell, was Robert hiding in your inn?" Danny asked.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Please forgive me …" Ai Ju's powdered face was even paler. She kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Get up and speak. The Queen is just curious about what happened back then. Don't be afraid, just tell her the truth." Barristan said in a deep voice.
Ai Ju didn't dare to get up immediately. She only looked up at the Dragon Queen.
"Get up. You dare to let Zhong 'er come to me, don't tell me you don't have the slightest idea in your heart?" Danny said indifferently.
Ai Ju's face turned even paler, and her body trembled even more violently, but she still stood up shakily, bowed her head, and said softly: "King Robert was hiding in Zhong 'er's mother's bed at that time."
"Clinton has neglected his duty. He even said that he had searched every house in Stone Hall Town!" The dwarf stomped his feet and sighed. He looked as if Jon Clinton had lost his Iron Throne.
Ai Ju glanced at Old Bart beside the Dragon Queen and explained, "Sir Clinton, like Sir Barristan, is a knight who cherishes honor.
He didn't even dare to look at a woman's chest. When he saw a woman with untidy clothes in the room, he hurriedly stopped the soldiers outside and asked us to put on our clothes before opening the door to enter.
This delay is enough time for us to move King Robert to the room that has already been checked. "
"He should have called everyone to line up in the courtyard, and then sent soldiers into the inn to search." The dwarf muttered.
"Sir Clinton probably didn't think that Robert would dare to fool around in the technical institute in such a critical situation." Barristan guessed.
Why was Robert hiding in Stone Hall Town?
Although Robert had killed the "First Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" Lega, his commanding skills on the battlefield were actually not outstanding.
Robert's talent was not as good as Stannis'. He could be called a fierce general, but he was not at the level of a famous general.
Before Stone Hall Town, Robert had just lost two battles in a row. The first time was at Cen Tree Beach, where he was chased by Randall Tully from River Bend to River Jian like a rabbit.
Note that he was defeated by Randall Tully, and not by the River Bend Army. Randall Tully only brought his own Horn Hill soldiers and fought Robert's Storm Army head-on. Despite being outnumbered, they won a great victory.
Robert lost his soldiers and generals and fled in a sorry state.
However, Randall Tully's credit was stolen by Mace Tyrell. Later, his superior made things difficult for him. He had been outside Wind Stop Castle and did not have the chance to participate in the subsequent battles.
Because of his defeat at Randall Tully's hands, Robert led the Storm Army to flee to the north. In the north, there was Stark, Tully, and Ayrin.
When they fled near Stone Hall Town, they were ruthlessly attacked by Jon Clinton. Almost all of them were wiped out, and he himself was seriously injured. He fled to Stone Hall Town alone.
This was why there was the "Battle of the Bell" later.
When a normal person was completely annihilated and heavily injured, they would obediently hide in a dark corner and lick their wounds in solitude. However, Robert was indulging in wine and women in the technical institute, eating and drinking. After eating and drinking to his heart's content, he would play with people on the spot.
Just like Zhong 'er said, all the women in Honey Peach Inn had slept with him.
At that time, Jon Clinton was anxiously looking for him in the town!
"I can't compare to Robert's tolerance!" The dwarf sighed.
— You can't compare to Robert's dick either.
They were both messing around. Robert did not need to pay, and he made them loyal to him. If you gave them money, they would despise you. (Because of the Gray Scale Disease, the dwarf was ostracized by the Red Saintess of Slaver's Bay for a long time.)
Robert's messing around was not for nothing. He practically sowed seeds everywhere. Cersei killed more than ten of Robert's illegitimate children. Now, she can still meet Robert's children wherever she goes. What about you?
Is there a problem with your genes that makes you unable to have children?
Danny looked at the dwarf with a strange gaze.
"What's wrong?" The dwarf touched his face unnaturally.
Danny shook off the strange thoughts in her mind and said with a complicated tone, "So the change of dynasties in the Westeros was decided by a group of prostitutes. No wonder the kings on the Iron Throne were all either raised by whores or were whores themselves."
"Uh …" The dwarf and Barristan were stunned for a moment, then their expressions became distorted.
Ai Ju and Zhong 'er heard this and did not feel humiliated. Instead, they could not help but laugh.
Looking at their expressions, they seemed a little smug.
Danny asked the madam, "You should know that Sir Clinton represents the Iron Throne, and Robert is a rebel. Why are you helping the rebels against the king?"
The madam wanted to say something but stopped. She looked at the Dragon Queen fearfully.
"Just tell us the truth," Danny said.
"Because the Mad King sits on the Iron Throne, but King Robert is a kind and good man." Ai Ju shrank back and mumbled.
"Did the Mad King increase your taxes?" Danny asked with a frown.
"No." Ai Ju shook her head.
"Did the Mad King come to Stone Hall Town to kill people?"
"He has never been to Stone Hall Town." Ai Ju shook her head again.
"Have you seen the Mad King?" Danny asked again.
"No. I heard that the Mad King has been hiding in the Red Keep, afraid that the rebels will harm him." Ai Ju shook her head.
"Did the Mad King provoke you?" Danny asked again.
"I have never seen him," Ai Ju said.
"The Mad King was on the throne for 20 years. Did you have a hard time?"
"It was okay." Ai Ju thought for a moment and looked at the old priest. "There was no shortage of food during the winter. Did I remember wrongly?"
The monks of Camp Nou were in their sixties this year and had even lived through the reign of the Mad King.
The Battle of the Ringing of the Bell was called this because the old monk had rung the bell in the Holy Church after the battle began to warn the residents to hide in their houses.
"Outside Stone Hall Town is the Blackwater River. The land is fertile and there are abundant products. With the developed commerce, there was never a shortage of food during the winter.
When King Eris was in power, merchants came here to buy food and transported it along the river to the other side of the narrow sea! "
"Did Robert exempt Stone Hall Town from taxes?" Danny asked again.
"No."
"Did the 'good man' Robert make your life better?"
This time, Ai Ju did not answer immediately. She frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head helplessly. "It seems that nothing has changed."
"Then why did you rebel?" Danny asked curiously.
"We did not rebel."
"Isn't helping Robert a rebellion?"
"We only wanted to help him. We did not want to rebel." In the end, she emphasized, "King Robert laughed and laughed with us. We all liked him very much.
The Mad King did not provoke us, but his past actions and the incident of him torturing and killing Duke Stark were too shocking. "
Dani recalled a certain president of United States in her previous life who knew everything. That guy did not do any official business and was always indulging in state affairs. He only liked to do stand-up comedy in front of the people and seemed very unreliable. However, the people of America liked him and many people supported him to be the president.
In a way, he and Robert were the same type of king. The country they ruled was also the same …
Could it be that the foreigners liked this kind of "charming" leader who was approachable and exposed the same flaws as the people?
Danny shook her head and dispelled the strange thoughts in her head. She asked the old madam, "Do you have any proof that Zhong 'er is Robert's son?"
"Everyone in Stone Hall Town knows," Ai Ju said doubtfully.
"The others don't know. You have to convince them. At least, you have to convince Stannis," the Dwarf said.
Ai Ju thought for a while and said, "Zhong 'er was born naturally. She was born during the Battle of the Ringing of the Bell."
"Did Robert stay in Stone Hall Town for a long time after the battle?" the Dwarf asked.
"No, after the battle, he left on the same day." Ai Ju shook her head.
The Dwarf spread out his hands. "So, why are you looking for the Queen?"
At this time, Zhong 'er, who had been listening by the side, spoke. She sighed and said, "Stone Hall Town is in dire straits now. During the battle of the four kings, the lions and wolves took turns to ravage the town. The town gate and one-third of the houses in the town were burned to ashes. The townspeople either died or fled.
Before winter came, there was a famine. More than half of the townspeople starved to death. After a long night, the town was emptied.
Now that the Deviant Ghosts are here, there are not many people left in the town. The inn business can't continue. "
Stone Hall Town was located at the intersection of the four kingdoms. It could reach the King's Landing through the Blackwater River. It was considered a prosperous trading town inland.
Stone Hall Town's resident population and floating population, as well as its economic benefits, surpassed Winterfell.
But now, the town was desolate. The burned houses weren't repaired, and the collapsed charred walls were in the center of the town. It was difficult to find a living person on the streets.
Worse, it wasn't the worst time yet. The future would only get worse year by year.
But who could be blamed?
Robert and Byra chose to join Theon's Dynasty. The army that ravaged the town, stole their food, destroyed the crops outside the town, and burned the houses in the town. Regardless of whether it was the wolves, trout, or lions, they were the rebel army that they looked forward to and supported greatly.
What was more ironic was that the soldiers who ravaged the town during the Rebellion of the Four Kings had participated in the Battle of the Ringing of the Bell. Now, they were revisiting the same place.
