Chapter 0175 Bet!
Magic Mountain's eyes widened, and his domineering appearance was terrifying, and his deep voice showed his restrained anger: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, courtiers, sir, I, Magic Mountain, have been in Harroway Town since yesterday, and I have not left half a step. Sir Edmuthully's accusation is a mere slander, and if he stops me on my way home, my heavy sword will not recognize him as Sir Edmuthully. ”
Magic Mountain mentions the Prime Minister. In fact, Eddard Stark has not yet been officially enthroned, but everyone knows that he is the prime minister and the hand of the king specially invited by the king thousands of miles away, and the canonization is just a ceremony that must be carried out in the Red Keep in King's Landing.
Moshan knows that Ed is a man of integrity, and the shortcoming of this kind of person is his integrity. He deliberately mentioned His Excellency the Prime Minister.
Prime Minister Eide will enforce the law impartially and tell what he thinks is the truth and the truth. What's more, yesterday, the Magic Mountain saved Mikay's life and helped Arya maintain the honor of the Stark family. Moshan is not worried that Ed will not know the truth, he also knows Arya, and that 'wild boy' will tell Ed the truth, there is no doubt about that!
Sure enough, Duke Ed was the first to speak: "Sir Gregor, there must be some misunderstanding in this, I will send a raven to Lord Duke Horst to clarify the facts for you." ”
"Thank you, Prime Minister!" said Moshan, with a sense of resentment, to show that his anger at being wronged could not be dissipated for a moment.
King Robert also comforted the Magic Mountain: "The Magic Mountain, we all know that the arson incident has nothing to do with you, so you don't need to be angry. Since Duke Ed was here, he would naturally explain this matter to his father-in-law, Lord Duke Horst. ”
The hound said coldly, "So, who would pretend to be the Lord of the Demon Mountain to set fire?" he stared at the Demon Mountain fixedly, with sarcasm and malicious hints.
Enraged, the Magic Mountain strode out of the queue, bowed his head slightly to King Robert, and then faced the hound: "Hound, what do you mean by that?"
The hound said coldly, "What do you think I mean by this, and since it is not you who set the fire, what are you afraid of?"
Choke!
The giant sword of the Demon Mountain was unsheathed, and his eyebrows were furious: "Hound dog, pull out your sword!"
The hound was indifferent, and said lightly: "Demon Mountain, don't worry, tonight I will challenge you with the rules of a knight, and I will have a fair duel with you!"
"I can't wait until you apologize to me right away!" the Grinding Mountain Greatsword pointed at the hound's face.
"Don't make trouble, Magic Mountain!" said King Robert in a deep voice.
The four Kingsguard immediately pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords and eyed the Demon Mountain. The former magistrate Ilyin Pine also looked at the Demon Mountain and burst out with a strong murderous intent.
Duke Ed said, "Sir Gregor, please put away your sword. Sir Edmuthully is leading the clan warriors in a hunt for the arsonist, and once he is caught, the truth will be revealed, and Sir does not need to be angry. ”
Ed spoke, and the knights and guards in the north pressed their hands on the hilts of their swords.
It's not the four Royal Forest Guards that the Demon Mountain is afraid of, he is more afraid of the people of the North, these guys are the same as Duke Eddard, with one tendon, and they don't know how to turn when they are killed. He doesn't want to fight with such an 'honest man'!
"Hound Dog, Ruby Beach, duel tonight!, you will pay for your words!" the Demon Mountain shouted angrily, like a thunderbolt.
"Tonight, the Seven Gods are on my side!" the Hound said lightly.
Duke Ed reached out and pushed away the giant sword that Demon Mountain pointed at the hound, and Demon Mountain took the opportunity to go down the steps, choked, his giant sword into the sheath, and strode back to the queue. He was wheezing with anger, and his eyes were as round as bull's eyes, as if he had been greatly wronged!
Count Tiger Sulliot, a great nobleman in the West, said in the queue: "Most of the arson cases in the rushing plains are mountain bandits and hooligans dressed as Sir Gregor. Everyone knows that Sir Gregor's prestige used Sir Gregor to intimidate the people of the plains, and it was clearly a well-planned plan. ”
The Count of Chariot was the representative of the nobles of the Western Realms present, and it was natural for him to express his support for the Magic Mountain in the Western Realm. Although there is a murderous hatred between him and the Magic Mountain, it is a festival under the water, and this is a matter on the water.
While they were talking, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and a young bachelor came in, holding a wax sealed letter in his hand: "Your Majesty, letter from Riverrun!"
Riverrun is writing again, so soon!
King Robert unfolded the letter, read it, handed it to Prime Minister Eddard, looked relieved, and said: "Last night's fire, hundreds of villages were burned in the rushing plains, and there were no casualties. Robert leaned back in his chair and stretched, "the letter said, the bandits woke the villagers from their slumber, drove them out of the village, and forced them to set fire to their villages, rice paddies, and woods, but did not harm a single person. They bring the elderly and children together and let the elderly take care of the children. ”
The audience was silent, and everyone thought that these arsonists were so 'civilized', and it was precisely because of this 'civilization' that they had an unreal and weird feeling! But also because of this 'weirdness', everyone knew that the arsonists had nothing to do with the Magic Mountain. If it was a person from the Magic Mountain, then it would not be for the old man to protect the child, but for 'protecting' the old man and the child to coerce others.
The style of Moshan and his subordinates is to seize the hostages, coerce others, and if they don't comply, cut the hostages in two!
The hound looked at the magic mountain, and the magic mountain's eyes widened. If his gaze could turn into anger, the hound would have been scorched by the anger of the Demon Mountain just now!
The Magic Mountain shouted at the hounds: "What do you see, Hounds, if it were my people, I would let them pretend to be me? If you want to die, I will fulfill you, just tonight!"
"Okay, tonight we will duel according to the rules of knights, and we will not die!" said the hound, "I now officially issue a duel challenge to you in front of His Majesty the King, the Prime Minister, the courtiers, the knights, and the generals, tonight, Ruby Beach, I will launch a duel challenge to the Magic Mountain, the Magic Mountain, do you dare to fight?!"
"I'll fight!" said Moshan's fierce tone.
There was a conflict between the knights, and a duel was the ultimate form of resolving the conflict, which was also a legitimate challenge. One-on-one decisive battle, life and death. After the duel, neither side is allowed to seek revenge in private, and the previous contradictions between the two sides will be written off with the end of the duel.
Even His Majesty the King can only mediate this life-and-death duel from it, and cannot order it to be canceled.
Duke Lan Li, Minister of Justice, said with a smile: "Since it is an open and fair duel between knights, I will be the banker, and if you bet on Lord Demon Mountain to win, you will lose one, and if you bet on Lord Hound to win, you will lose ten for one!"
Moshan immediately ordered Bernie, the attendant beside him: "Bernie, go and collect all of our gold coins, hand them over to Duke Lanli, and press me to win!"
"Yes, Lord Moshan. Bernie was overjoyed to hear this, and there were two things he liked the most, one was a prostitute and the other was gambling.
The men in the hall, from His Majesty the King to the gold-robed and red-robed guards, all had these two glorious hobbies: prostitutes, and gambling.
His Majesty the King was itchy when he heard the gambling money, he couldn't wait, he was a master of gambling, he immediately heard that there was a huge loophole in this gambling method, but he would definitely not say it, he decided to send someone to suppress the five hundred golden dragons of the Magic Mountain, and at the same time press the five hundred golden dragons of the hunting dogs, if the Magic Mountain wins, he will not lose if he loses one by pressing one, but if it is the hunting dog winning, he can earn a huge sum of four thousand five hundred golden dragons.
Since the Hound is the active challenger, His Majesty the King thinks that the Hound must have studied the tactics in private, and the Hound has a better chance of winning. His vision is unique and sharp, and he occupies hunting dogs. But what if the Magic Mountain wins? So, according to this method, he will not lose money.
Duke Lanli is still a little too young!
The king straightened his face and shouted: "Duke Lanli, no gambling is allowed. Magic Mountain and Hound Dogs, I won't allow anyone to die. Hound hound, quickly cancel the duel!"
The hound knelt down on one knee and put his right hand into a fist at the heart: "Your Majesty, the knight duel challenge has been issued, and the magic mountain has also been answered, and it cannot be canceled, please forgive your majesty!"
"Hmph!" said King Robert, furious, and stood up and walked away. As he walked, he pondered: one is the vicious dog of the West, who catches and bites whomever he wants, the other is Queen Cersei's hunting dog, Cersei tells him to bite whomever he tells him, and the two dogs duel, one of them will die, which is good! It's just that this gamble of the golden dragon is not enough in King Robert's pocket, and he has to find a few ministers to help make it up.
As soon as the king left, the Duke of Lanli was immediately surrounded by a crowd of people, all shouting, you pushing and pushing, competing for money, except for Barristan Sermi and Prime Minister Ed, who had a wry smile on their faces, the rest of the people were all smiling as if they were celebrating a festival.
The private duel between the Demon Mountain and the Hound turned into an open showdown where the king and the prime minister would come to watch!
