Chapter 141 Section 141 Facts Everyone Knows

"What should we do?" I begged him. "Every ship must go to shore for battle, not just warships, let the fishing boats go out too, we have to fight for our lives now. How can they be so close, how dare they be so bold! Let the horses go overland There, I mean have to go tonight in an hour. They may not arrive until the day after tomorrow, but send them out anyway and put Minray in charge." My heart churned in my chest. "Your Majesty," I interrupted mildly, "Minry is dead, killed on the way back with Burrich when they were attacked by road robbers." The Fool glared at me, and I knew right away that I shouldn't have interrupted, and Shrewd's order died from his voice.Then, he said uncertainly, "Min Rui is dead?"

I took a breath. "Yes, Your Majesty. But there's Rhett, too, and Cave's a hand." The King took a sip of the wine offered by the Fool, and became more refreshed. "Keve. Then, let Cave be in charge of leading the team. "There was renewed confidence in the king's tone. I refrained from saying that the remaining horses were not worth sending at all, but the folks at Jie Yi Wan would undoubtedly welcome anyone who came to support them. King Shrewd thought. "What about the news from Xiaonanwan? Did they send soldiers and ships?" "Your Majesty, we have not heard from there yet." That was true.

"What's going on here?" Before Emperor Zun's figure appeared in the bedroom, the roar came first, and he was shouting loudly because of drunkenness and anger. "Wallos!" He pointed a finger at me. "Kick him out, you can find someone to help you, don't be polite to him!" Wallace didn't need to worry at all, because the two muscular inner guards had followed Regal up the stairs from the banquet scene, and lifted my whole body off the ground.Regal really picked the right man for the job, and I had to look around for the Fool for some help, but he was long gone.Then, seeing a pale hand disappear under the bed, I looked away resolutely.I don't blame him, because he can't do me any good by staying, other than being kicked out with me.

"My lord father, has he disturbed you with nonsense again? Are you still so weak?" Regal bent down beside the bed eagerly. When they were almost bringing me to the door, the king spoke.His voice was not loud, but he could tell he was giving orders. "Stop it," King Shrewd ordered to the guards.Although he was still lying on the bed, his eyes turned to Regal. "Jieyi Bay is under siege," King Shrewd said firmly. "We must send troops to support it." Regal shook his head sadly. "It's just another trick by the little bastard, he just wants to make you miserable and restless. No one came for help, and we didn't hear anything."

One of the guards grabbed me very professionally, and the other seemed to want to dislocate my shoulder, even though I wasn't struggling, he was still grabbing me hard.I carefully memorized his face without showing any expression of pain. "You don't need to bother so much, Regal, I will find out whether it is a fact or a lie." Queen Kettricken paused for a while as she was getting ready.She wore a white fur jacket and purple trousers and boots, and she wore a mountain sword at her waist, while Burrich stood by the door in a heavily hooded riding cloak and gloves.Then, she said like coaxing a spoiled child: "Go back and receive your guests, and I will ride to Jieyi Bay to find out."

"I'm not allowed!" Emperor Zun's voice became extremely sharp, and a deathly silence suddenly flooded the entire room. Queen Kettricken spoke quietly what everyone in the room knew. "The prince can't stop the queen from doing anything. I will ride to Jieyi Bay tonight." Regal's face turned purple. "It's a hoax, a plot by this little bastard to cause a commotion in Buckkeep, and to instill fear in the people. In fact, there is no information at all about the attack on Jay Bay." "Quiet!" the king uttered the word, and everyone in the room froze. "Fitz Junqi? Damn it, let him go. Fitz Junqi, come and stand in front of me and report, where did you get the news?"

I smoothed my top and brushed my hair back.As I stood before the king, I was ruefully aware of my bare feet and tangled hair.I took a breath and then let it all out. "I saw it in my sleep, Your Majesty. I saw the pockmarked man divination in a pool of water, and then he showed me the scene of the red boat invading Jieyi Bay." I didn't dare to emphasize any words, just stood firmly in front of them.A guard snorted incredulously, Burrich's eyes widened and his jaw was about to drop, Kettricken looked only confused, and King Shrewd closed his eyes and took a slow breath in bed.

"He's drunk," Regal declared, "throw him out." I've never heard Regal speak so contentedly, and his bodyguard reacted quickly, arresting me again. "According to..." The king took a deep breath, visibly battling the pain. "My order," and then he had more strength, "according to my order, start now. Quick!" I broke free from the two startled guards. "Yes, Your Majesty," I said in the silence, before repeating the order clearly so that everyone could understand. "What you mean is that all warships must sail to Jieyi Bay, and all fishing boats must be summoned to support them, and all horses will be arranged to go there by land, and Cave will lead the team."

"Yes." The king said with a sigh, swallowed his saliva, took a breath, and opened his eyes. "Yes, this is my order, let's go now." "Would you like some wine, Your Majesty?" The Fool suddenly appeared on the other side of the bed, and only I was startled.The Fool smiled mysteriously at this, and then leaned over to help the King raise his head to sip the wine, and I bowed deeply to the King, then turned and left the room. "You may ride with my guards, if you wish," Queen Kettricken told me. Regal's face flushed red. "The king didn't let you go!" he said incoherently to her.

"He didn't say no!" The queen just looked at him indifferently. "My queen!" One of her guards announced her arrival at the door. "We're ready to go." I looked at the lady in surprise, and Kettricken just nodded at her. Kettricken glanced at me. "You'd better get ready, Fitz, unless you want to ride out like this." Burrich shook the cloak for the queen. "Is my horse ready?" Kettricken asked her guard. "Ah Shou promises that you will see it waiting at the door as soon as you get downstairs." "I'll be ready in a while," Burrich said quietly, and I noticed that it didn't sound like a request.

"Then, you two hurry up and get ready, and follow us as soon as possible." Burrich nodded, and followed me back to my room, pulling out winter clothes from the wardrobe as I dressed. "Put your hair back, and don't forget to wash your face." He ordered me succinctly. "Fighters trust someone who looks ready to fight." I did as he was told and rushed down the stairs with him, almost forgetting that he still had a broken leg.As soon as we got to the courtyard, he started shouting at the stableboys to bring Honger and Soot out, sending one footman to rush to Cave for instructions, and another to get all the horses in the stable ready.In addition, he sent four men into the city, one of whom was in charge of notifying the warships, and the remaining three had to go to all the taverns to gather the fishing boats.I really envy his efficiency.And when we got on the horse, he realized that he had just given the order for me, and he suddenly showed a disturbed expression, so I smiled at him. "Ginger is old and spicy." I told him.
