Chapter 0243 - Count Lucky
Gregor smiled, "Congratulations, Old Man Buzz, then we will be a family from now on." ”
Buzz was full of questions, he was an ordinary commoner, he had nothing else to do, he belonged to the aborigines of King's Landing, why did the Magic Mountain in the west come to King's Landing to find his family to kiss?
It's weird and counterintuitive.
He looked at Tob Mott and Gendry, Tob was a strong, very strong and strong man, and Gendry was also muscular, and he knew by looking at his face that he was also a child who was not afraid of things, but it seemed that like them, they were all coerced by the Magic Mountain.
"Sir Gregor, our family is a commoner, and our little granddaughter Esther is also good at nothing, and she can't afford to climb ......."
Gregor didn't listen to the old man's chatter, and directly interrupted the old man's words, shouting: "Let's go, go back to the west." ”
He was the first to go. A cavalryman jumped onto the carriage he bought, and with the sound of the whip, the carriage sparkled and followed behind the Magic Mountain. Polivier Clegane rode beside the carriage, which was followed by nine wolf-like horsemen embracing Tob Mott, the master blacksmith, and Gendry, the apprentice blacksmith.
The group ran on the Golden Avenue, stayed overnight, and returned to the western territory of the Cregan.

King's Landing, Red Keep, Hall of Thrones.
The famous Iron Throne in the Hall of Thrones sits King Robert's third brother, Ranley Baratheon.
Born in the year 278 of Aegon, Ramri Baratheon is twenty-one years old. He was young and handsome, his blue eyes were full of charm, and his long shiny black hair was draped over his shoulders. He has a kind smile and gentle words, which is very likable, but his second brother, Stannis Baratheon, has always thought that he is too frivolous.
If Tob Mott, the master blacksmith who had been taken away by the Magic Mountain, was here, he would have been surprised to see how his apprentice Gendry was so similar to Ranley Baratheon, in terms of eyes, forehead, lip contours, and face shape. It's just that a person has short hair and a stubborn and reckless temperament, and a person has long shawl hair and an elegant and noble temperament.
King Robert Baratheon led a hundred courtiers and queens north to Winterfell, where he handed over to his third brother, Ranley Baratheon. Much to the displeasure of Robert's second brother, Stannis Baratheon, he left King's Landing and returned to his fiefdom: Dragonstone, an island in the sea off Blackwater.
Lan Li is the Minister of Justice of the country, and his second brother, Stannis Baratheon, is the Minister of the Sea. Lan Li made a false reservation for the departure of the second brother, but as long as Stannis made a decision, no one could convince him unless Robert was here.
Stannis resolutely left, and did not say goodbye to Lan Li.
But Lan Li is an optimist and doesn't mind this.
Although the Minister of the Sea was absent from the Imperial Ministers, this did not affect the daily councils of the Iron Throne.
Under the Iron Throne, there were several other important royal ministers: the intrepid Barristan Selmi, the captain of the Kingsguard, Varys, the eight-clawed spider, the head of intelligence, whose head was as bright as when King Robert was there, and the chancellor of the exchequer, Petyr Silly. Baelish, whose face was horribly swollen two days ago, is now gone, and only the right corner of his mouth still has a faint bruise, which he says is a happy scar caused by a drunken masochistic game with a certain prostitute;
Paisher was born in the year 216 A.D. Aegon and is eighty-two years old. The top of his bare head was covered with black age spots, and the hair on the left and right sides of his head and the back of his head was completely white, hanging down in long lengths. His bachelor's necklace is made of twenty-four pieces of metal, representing his expertise in twenty-four different fields. Pieces of metal hung heavily from his neck to his chest.
What Master Paisil valued most was his long snow-white beard, which he regarded as a sign of honor and pride.
Pysher entered the palace at the age of forty-two and had already served four generations of kings: Aegon V, Jaehaerys II, Aerys II, and Robert I. He has the utmost respect for Tywin Lannister of the Westlands, and is a loyal retainer of the Westlands Lannisters.
As long as at least three Imperial Ministers are gathered, the decisions of the Council will have the force of law. This is also the reason why Lan Li is not afraid of the departure of his second brother Stannis at all.
Lan Li was loved by his brother Robert in everything, and he was the heir to the family's Wind's End, the Duke. However, according to the laws of the country and the order of family lineage, Stannis Baratheon should have become the Duke of the rich Storm's End. However, Robert did not like Stannis, who was cold and cruel to everyone, and in the name of the king, he gave Storm's Rest to his third brother Ranly Baratheon, and gave Stannis the barren and sparse Dragonstone.
Stannis had long been treated unfairly by his brother Robert, and this time it was the same, Robert left, and in order of seniority, he could have become acting king, but unfortunately it wasn't him this time, and Robert still gave the honor of acting king to his third brother, Lance Baratheon.
Lan Li didn't feel comfortable sitting on the Iron Throne, which symbolized the supreme power of the Seven Kingdoms.
The Iron Throne is cold and hard, and it has been 298 years since its birth. He was cast by Aegon, the first Founding Majesty of the Targaryen dynasty.
In the first year of the Aegon calendar, King Aegon had his dragon "Black Death" Bellerion melt away thousands of swords that his enemies had discarded when they surrendered, and it took him fifty-nine days to build the throne.
The Iron Throne is covered with spikes and barbs, which are uncomfortable to sit on, and there are spikes on the back of the chair, so you can't lean back when you are tired of sitting. If you're not careful, spikes and blades can cut your hands or body. His Majesty Aegon deliberately forged this throne with thousands of swords from his enemies, in order to remind future generations of kings that the throne is not easy to come by, and it is even more difficult for the king to be a king, and he must cherish it and serve the country diligently.
The last king of the Targaryens, Aerys II, was often scarred by the Iron Throne because of his short temper. It is also rumored that the Iron Throne has killed several kings, such as Meg I, who stumbled into the tip of the Iron Throne's outward-facing sword and died. Of course, there are secretly rumors that Meg I was pushed from behind before he hit it.
Although Lan Li didn't enjoy sitting on the Iron Throne, he still had to sit on it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have received news that King Robert and Queen Cersei have led everyone through the Neck, a swamp hundreds of miles long in the north, and it is expected that they will reach Winterfell in the north in more than ten days. ”
Immediately, the throne hall burst into applause.
Most of the courtiers traveled with the king, including the queen's two brothers: Jaime Lannister and Tyrion Lannister, known as the Little Devil. The throne hall was empty, with a few people.
When Lan Li obviously showed a bored and tired expression, the intelligence director Varys said: "Duke Lan Li, my lords, there have been two vicious cases in the flea nest recently, one is the flea nest selling brown soup on the street, killing a mercenary of the Warrior Regiment. The other was the underground Colosseum in a flea nest, where there was even more serious violence, killing several people and injuring more than twenty. ”
"Who is the murderer? Did you catch it?" Lan Li suddenly became interested, and his blue eyes radiated brilliance.
