Chapter 0343: The Little Devil Joins Forces with the Big Demon
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, it is better not to go out on the street to give orders. "Ser Jeslyn Bywatt stepped forward to stop it.
In the midst of this riot, the King and his party were brought into the church thanks to the wedge formation of the golden-robed cavalry led by Ser Jeslyn Bewat to break through the sea of refugees.
Jeslyn Bywatt plays a bigger role than the Hound and Lieutenant Commander Aral Tim combined. The Hound was alone at the king's side, but soon lost his way and went to the other side. The same was true of Aral Tim, except that he came to his senses faster than the hound, corrected his course, went in circles, and returned to the king's side.
"Why can't I go out on the street and give orders?" asked the little devil. He really didn't know why, as long as he was protected by the guards, and together with the heralds, he promised everyone food, why couldn't he go to the streets?
"You are the one that the people of King's Landing and the refugees hate the most. Jeslin Baiwatt told the truth.
"Why, why do the people hate me the most?" the little devil had no idea of this public opinion. Since he took office, he has worked diligently for the sake of the people of the city.
The common people don't hate Joffrey this monster, but they hate me the most?!
Baiwatt's deep-set eyes met the gnomes' eyes of all sizes, without blinking.
"Please forgive my rudeness, Prime Minister. You are the one that the people of the city hate the most. It is rumored on the streets that His Majesty is still a child, so the only one who causes turmoil in the kingdom is the traitorous ministers around His Majesty. The Queen Mother has never been loved by civilians. Jacelyn glanced at Queen Cersei, "But in the days of King Robert—what they call the Golden Age—the Queen Mother and Her Majesty Joffrey have always been here, but you're not here." But ever since you entered the city, life in King's Landing has become more and more difficult every day. “
"The difficulties in King's Landing turned out to be caused by my entry into the city, and I only know how powerful I am today. The little devil was suffocated.
"The people accuse you of letting the arrogant mercenaries and the filthy and rude barbarians into the city, especially the hill people, who have stirred up the miasma of the capital, and they accuse you of being jealous of Littlefinger's frankness and integrity, and of deliberately suppressing his power and talents, which ultimately led to the deprivation of food in King's Landing, and the food channels of the south and north roads were cut off because of your interference, and some even said that you had bad intentions and intended to seize the Iron Throne. ”
"Yes, yes, besides that, I'm an ugly monster, and you go and remind the people not to forget that. He clenched his fingers into fists and his voice was hoarse.
Over the years, Duke Tywin had looked down on the little devil, and Jacelyn Bywatt's words made the little devil think that maybe his father was right.
The little devil did his best to serve the people, but the whole city hated him, which made him feel deeply lonely. Lo and behold, he had to rely on his trusty little finger - the guy who had framed him for his death, the unscrupulous mercenary who could protect him for money, and the woman he liked was a prostitute who would sleep with you as long as you gave money, anyone.
What does this mean?
It shows that he is a little devil who is spurned by the world, a mongre, ugly and deformed monster, and a good-for-nothing beast!
"Prime Minister, the rumors out there are not credible. The words of fools are even more untrustworthy, so do not go to your heart. Littlefinger retracted his smile and said solemnly.
But Tyrion saw a smile in Littlefinger's eyes.
Tyrion was disheartened and his heart tingled, but now was not the time to give up on himself, the riots outside were still going on, the refugees were still smashing and being killed by the soldiers: "Alright, Littlefinger, you go and take charge of the order, hurry up and quell the riot." Take your guards and heralds with you, and go to the whole city to give orders, and the royal family will distribute bread early tomorrow morning. You tell the people to go home, and the homeless go to the squares, and kill everyone who still wanders the streets when the last bell rings before dark. ”
"Yes, Prime Minister. "Littlefinger is respectful.
The little devil looked at Littlefinger, no matter how he looked at it, he always felt that there was a narrow smile hidden in Littlefinger's eyes.
He resisted the urge to gouge out the eye of Little Finger.
Soon, Littlefinger took a group of gold-robed pikemen, a team of red-robed sword and shield bearers, three heralds with a very loud voice, a total of fifty people, and four personal guards specially assigned to him by the little devil, everyone rode out - the whole city ordered: Tomorrow morning, the Red Fort will distribute bread.

"My lord, Tirek is gone. Sir Jeslin said.
Tirek Lannister, the son of Tyrion's youngest uncle, Tiget. Tyrion and Tiget's relationship has always been very good, and his uncle also takes good care of Tyrion, and is the only elder in the family who does not discriminate against Tyrion, but unfortunately the good man does not live long, and Tigate dies of illness. This also dealt a very big blow to Tyrion, basically the people who were good to him seemed to have natural and man-made disasters or serious illnesses that could not be treated.
This often makes Tyrion wonder if he has demonic attributes that will bring unavoidable doom to those who are good to him.
"Live or die, please you have to find Tirek," Tyrion said briefly. "He's still a kid. His mouth was full of bitterness, and his heart was full of sadness. When his uncle died, he asked him to take care of Tirek, who was still a child, and he agreed. And now, Tirek's whereabouts are unknown, and most of them are more likely than lucky.
His heart suddenly ached, as if there were many big ants gnawing on it.
Tyrion felt that he had always been miserable, and he had several suicidal thoughts, but luckily he had an older brother who was really good to him, Jaime Lannister. And Jaime's current fate is to suffer in the underground black prison of Riverrun.
Whatever is good to him, Tyrion discovers that no matter how long or later, no one in life is truly good!

In this riot, the archbishop of the Great Church of Baylor was torn to pieces by the populace. For the hungry, the clergyman, who is too fat to walk, is the best target.
The body of the youngest Sir Preston, the Kingsguard, was found in the corner of the square, and he was stabbed and slashed from head to toe by countless men.
Sir Alan Santaga lay in the gutter at the bottom of the square, his helmet smashed and his head a cloud of red mud.
The daughter of the Countess of Tanda was looted by a mob to the back of a blacksmith's shop, and she offered her chastity to dozens of vulgar men. When the golden-robed guards found her, she was wandering the streets of Steel naked.
The disappearance of Tirik Lannister has become an eternal shadow and a thorn in Tyrion Lannister's heart, and he is ashamed of his dead uncle, Tigett Lannister.
Thirty-nine golden-robed guards were killed and more than a hundred were wounded. Seven of the red-robed guards were killed and forty-eight wounded. More than 10 people were killed and more than 20 were injured. As for how many mobs died, no one cares.
The jewel-covered seven-star crown worn by the archbishop has disappeared and has been missing since.
This riot also revealed that the Golden Robes were quite poor, because the Baratheon family was going to attack King's Landing, and the Hound Dog had tripled the garrison in one go, but it was not possible to be a guard by wearing the Golden Robe. There are more thugs, drunkards, cowards, and traitors among the recruits, much to the surprise of the little devils. These guys are ill-trained, undisciplined, and loyal—they're loyal to their own stinking skin, and they can't stand it in the event of bloodshed, let alone real war.
This made it clear to Tyrion that they would be finished once the walls were breached by Baratheon's army and the siege turned to street fighting. The golden-robed garrison couldn't fight at all, and thirty-nine of them had died in the face of the unarmed mob, let alone against the well-trained regular army.
Littlefinger's proposal to order the Demon Mountain to enter King's Landing with soldiers and food was inwardly opposed, but the situation forced him to suppress his heart and officially support Littlefinger's proposal in the throne hall.
After King Joffrey's name day riots, it became clear to the imp that the Lannisters were not welcome in King's Landing.
In that year (283 Aegon calendar), after the opening of the city of Aerys, his father was bloodied, and many people still remember it vividly. It is privately rumored that the kingdom is now in turmoil and angry because of the unspeakable sins of the Lannisters—the murder of King Aerys by his brother Jaime and the slaughter of Rhaeggar's children by his father.
Some openly nostalgic for King Robert's reign, and hinted that if the Baratheons were put on the throne, good times would come again. These words, sent by any spy, can be heard in the canteen, in the tavern, in the brothel, everywhere - the little devil estimates, I'm afraid the same in the barracks.
People's hearts fluctuate, and although the walls of King's Landing are high, it makes the little devil lose his sense of security day by day. Every day he goes to the court, he seems to put on a mask of the prime minister, acting aggressive and strong, and as soon as he returns to the prime minister's tower, he is alone to lick the fragility and helplessness in his heart.
To prevent accidents, he orders Shaga and Conn to live in the Dragon's Gate to protect his prostitute Xueni, who is hiding in a three-story courtyard. Sending a mountain warrior of three hundred men to protect a prostitute he likes is also a shame for the little devil, but sneaking out of the secret passage every night to meet Xueni makes the little devil addicted. And the guy who provided the secret passage and helped him slip out was the little finger he hated the most.
He found that he couldn't do without dealing with the people he hated the most, and he couldn't do without their help. This makes the little devil's temper more and more irritable.
But the Prime Minister has to hold on to what he has to do.

Podrick Pyne is the flag bearer of the royal family today, holding the Stag Lion flag of Joffrey, and he is a little overwhelmed. Bronn held Tyrion's own banner with a Lannister gold coin on a crimson background.
Gold Coin - An exclusive banner designed by Tyrion himself.
Tyrion Lannister rode on the pony, and when Bronn and Podrick had already seen the banner of the Demon Mountain team, he was still a little short of height.
The armies of the Magic Mountain held aloft the Golden Lion Banner of the Lannisters, the Three-Dog Banner of the Clegane Family, the Sockeye Salmon Banner of the Muton Family, the Black Goat Banner of the Warrior Regiment, and the Sphin-like Manticores of the Amori Lodge Family—the cavalry in front, the infantry in the rear, slowly approaching. The team was neatly slaughtered, and the tail was not visible.
Letting the Prime Minister come to greet him outside the Dragon Gate was a condition for the Magic Mountain to agree to transport grain and lead the troops to King's Landing, and for the sake of the overall situation, the little devil agreed to the Magic Mountain's rude request. He knew that the Magic Mountain needed to feel respected, not commanded. No one can command the Magic Mountain, except Lord Tywin.
Although the little devil is the status of the prime minister, he is a fake prime minister who only has short-term acting powers. The real Prime Minister is Duke Tywin.
The team of the Magic Mountain is endless, and the people are strong and strong.
Guarded by his own mercenaries and mountain warriors, the little devil greeted the mountain and his generals outside the city.
The Magic Mountain rode a tall horse to the front. He was beside him, as usual, with two empty horses. His greatsword, shield, and armor were transported by a special carriage, guarded by two soldiers.
The heavy armor could not be moved by two soldiers.
As long as it wasn't a war, the magic mountain wouldn't wear that armor weighing more than two hundred catties, which was a humanoid piece of steel.
"Lord Magic Mountain. The little devil slapped his horse and caught up.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister. Demon Mountain said, his tone was no different from shouting at the little devil, and the ears of the little devil were full of sarcasm.
"The barracks and your quarters are ready, please go into the city. "The little devil is still the little devil, just because he is the prime minister, the magic mountain put forward such a condition for the prime minister to come outside the city to greet him, which can satisfy the vanity of the magic mountain.
Instead of responding to the little devil's invitation, the Magic Mountain frowned and watched the endless construction of houses under the city walls.
Outside the walls of King's Landing, wooden houses more than two meters high or even more than three meters high were erected on the foundations of the walls, and they were filled with refugees. Some of these houses were built by the natives of King's Landing, selling small goods to the sailors of the port, and Littlefinger built two three-story brothels here. One near the Dragon Gate and one near the Mud Gate.
"All of these houses have to be demolished. "First, if Baratheon's army comes, they will set fire to these houses against us, and second, if they don't set fire to them, they will use them as a springboard to build siege engines." The Magic Mountain finally raised his voice and shouted, "Fat Zorro-"
The sound was like muffled thunder, rolling towards the rear of the army.
Soon, a big fat man in Dothraki costume rode up on horseback, and he was very fat, but he was very agile in his movements, and his riding skills were very exquisite. An Arak cutlass was slung at his waist.
"Lord Demon Mountain, please command. ”
"All the stone huts, wooden huts, thatched houses, and tent houses that had been built on the city walls were all dismantled in a uniform manner. Magic Mountain pointed to a large area of low buildings outside the dragon gate that could not be seen along the city wall, "I want the city wall to be clean and clean, and not to give the enemy any chance to take advantage of it." ”
"Yes. My lord!"
The little demon Tyrion said, "Lord Demon Mountain, King's Landing has only rioted recently, and if you come and demolish all the buildings under the walls, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the people, and then some chaos. We should declare the people first, and then dismantle them. ”
"Jaco Lodge. Demon Mountain shouted at the back again.
The herald passed on the command, and soon, Jaco Lodge rode up.
With a wave of his hand, the Magic Mountain included all the houses and buildings under the outer city walls: "You lead the soldiers of the Rocky family, and you are responsible for driving all the people of these houses into the city. You're in charge of driving people out, and Zorro is in charge of demolishing houses. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
The little devil said: "Lord Demon Mountain, what if there are people who are unwilling to relocate? Many of the people are aborigines, and some have lived here for more than ten years. I suggest that the royal herald first make an announcement, explain the relationship, and ask them to move first. ”
"It's time of war, little devil, you're the prime minister, so spend your mind on dealing with all those twists and turns of government affairs. The military affairs will be left to me. - Sir Jacco Lodge, forcibly relocate the people who refuse to relocate, warn them once again if they resist by force, and cut them down if they do not listen, men, women, and children!"
Good is not to obey the police, mercy is not in charge of the army, this truth is still known by the university science and technology dog.
"Yes, sir!"
