Chapter 0174 is to be a cousin and set up an archway
Early the next morning, the courtiers who crowded the earl's hall were talking about the burning of the granary in the riverland three hundred miles away, and many people gathered around Eddard Stark to inquire about the situation.
Eddard Stark's eyes were full of red silk, his face was tired, he didn't sleep all night last night: "Ladies and gentlemen, I didn't go over last night to stop more than a hundred miles to the west, and we are still hundreds of miles away from the center of the fire. At dawn, people on merchant ships and fishing boats running down the Red Fork River said that the fire broke out in the Great Plains outside Rushing City, and that the rice fields, woods, and villages on the plains were burned by the fire, and the casualties were unknown. ”
"Lord Eddard, have you sent ravens to Riverrun?" said Duke Lanli with a smile. Lan Li wore a blue silk robe with vertical silver threads, which looked elegant and noble. He chuckled and whispered, not taking a fire to heart in the slightest.
Lanli's territory is the Stormlands, adjacent to the Tyrells' Riverlands, which are self-sufficient in food harvests and have the second largest population among the Seven Kingdoms. Even if the Riverlands were burned down, it would not affect the food of the people of the Stormlands.
"I came back early this morning and let the ravens go!" Eddard Stark was dissatisfied with Lan Li's frivolity, but his expression was not revealed at all, and his frozen rock-like expression made it difficult to get a glimpse of his heart.
The courtiers in the hall were talking, and the king and queen had not yet gotten up.
Last night, the king didn't know whose woman he was holding for the 'popularization of state affairs', and the truth about Queen Cersei was that she got up early, but she didn't bother to pay attention to the courtiers in the hall. The royal courtiers and the accompanying nobles are all nasty crows chirping.
Queen Cersei had quarreled with the king last night, and the tearing war provoked by Prince Joffrey ended perfectly with her and Joffrey losing out, and she was too lazy to pay attention to a fire, and besides, it was not the West, but the Riverlands.
To be honest, Cersei thought that the scope of the fire was too narrow, and it was a pity that the fire that burned from the rushing plain didn't even reach the kneel-bending stack about a hundred miles away. It would be even better if it could be burned all the way from the rushing plains, and the wind of last night would not stop for a moment, blowing all the way through the forests of noble hearts, all the way to Harrenhal and the small towns of Harroway. The beauty must be better than the fireworks when the king ascended the throne.
Queen Cersei was in the Earl's backyard drinking bacon soup, eating honey-coated bread, sala, and all kinds of delicious snacks, and listening to the servants with hearsay and conjecture and exaggerated rhetoric.
And in the hall, Moshan, the mastermind of this fire, looked at the various gloating expressions of the courtiers and nobles, and listened to some painless regrets, and he had a deeper understanding of the false concern and indifferent estrangement between the nobles.
No one would suspect that the fire had something to do with the Magic Mountain, because the people were here. Despite this, the Magic Mountain knew that the accusations against him would soon come from Riverrun. But he was not at all worried, he was able to get out perfectly, because it was not only the courtiers and the local nobility that could testify for him, but also the prime minister and the king.
The man from the Tully family who came to ask the sin of the Demon Mountain expected that it must be the young and conceited bearded Edmuthully. Although this young man is very good, he is not in the eyes of the Magic Mountain, but his uncle Blackfish Brynden Tully is a ruthless character who is difficult to deal with. However, hehe, because of his poor relationship with his brother Duke Horst, Blackfish is no longer in Riverrun, but in the valley under the control of Lysa Tully, and has become a Knight of the Blood Gate.
There are nobles and generals in the Riverlands, but there is no commander in charge of the situation, unless Blackfish Brynden Tully returns to Riverrun.
In the midst of the crowd, the Magic Mountain saw the hounds. He wore very simple leather armor today, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and his expression was indifferent. The left side of his face, which was burned by the fire, is very ugly, and this is one of the works of the young Demon Mountain.
The four Kingsman guards lined up, guarding in front of the king's 'throne' at all, and the Magic Mountain looked at these four famous white-robed guards of the King's Forest, and felt that these four people were four jokes. In addition to his martial prowess and loyalty, the fearless Lord Barristan Sermi was a member of the Council, the only minister in Council who could raise any question against anyone and had the privilege of being exempt from punishment.
But the political level of this guy is not much different from that of a three-year-old. Unless someone tells him in his ear who is a loyal servant and who is a traitor, he will be loyal and loyal to all of them!
As for the Mandenmoor Iron Guard, gloomy and silent, no one would know what he was thinking, but it only took a beautiful little virgin, or Queen Cersei, to spread his legs a little to make him bend his knees. In the original trajectory of this world, in the future battle of the Blackwater River, this guy will kill Tyrion Lannister, causing Tyrion to have a lifelong Medal of Honor scar on his face.
Not to mention the Malintland Iron Guard, a straw bale with no sense of knightly honor, is Prince Joffrey's main thug in the future to abuse Sansa.
Sir Jaime Lannister, the handsome swordsman on the far left, is also very good at swordsmanship, well-hmm, the guy who is obsessed with his sister, and as for his man's career, it is all between Cersei's legs.
The Mountain's gaze shifted to the back of the 'throne', and the Imperial Sheriff Elion Pine stood there staring, his eyes unfocused. This guy looks extremely scary, and everyone fears him, but Magic Mountain thinks that he is a walking corpse, and there is no other joy in life except killing.
Finally, after a long time, the fat king appeared in good spirits, and the courtiers and nobles gave way to a passage, and the four royal guards guarding the 'throne' also parted from it, made way of the way, and respectfully asked the king to take the throne.
King Robert seemed in good spirits, as if yesterday's unpleasantness had never happened at all.
"What happened?" said the king, taking the golden cup from the sommelier Lancer Lannister, filled with wine that had numbed his mind and body.
The King Boss is still sensitive, and as soon as he comes in, he can sense what might be going on.
Magic Mountain felt that if the king also needed to clock in and out, King Robert would make up for it every month.
"Last night, a fire broke out in the rushing plains, which burned down fertile fields, forests, and countless villages. Ed Stark said.
"Oh?!" the king was visibly stunned, "have the ravens of Riverrun arrived, and how many have died?"
Coincidentally, Bachelor Lu Xiu hurriedly appeared at the gate, holding a wax letter in his hand.
"Your Majesty, I just received a raven letter from Riverrun. The Scholar Lucius handed the letter to the fearless Sir Barristan Sermy. The letter is to be received by the Captain of the Kingsguard and forwarded.
The four Kingsguard are the king's line of defense. If it were in the throne hall of King's Landing, they would be seven brothers, seven of them lined up on the steps of the Iron Throne.
Robert took the letter, opened it, read it, and looked at the Magic Mountain, the tallest and most majestic in the crowd.
Magic Mountain looked back at His Majesty the King, needless to say, Demon Mountain already knew the contents of the letter, and the Tully family in Riverrun City accused him of setting the fire.
The fire was indeed owned by the Magic Mountain, but it was not lit by his own hands, so that's it!
"Magic Mountain, Ser Edmuthully is taking a thousand warriors from the Riverlands everywhere to capture you. Robert said, "You were seen by a lot of people in last night's fire. ”
Why can't the stand-in for arson be disguised as the Magic Mountain and anyone else? Isn't this self-inflicted?
Yes, that's what keeps your own loopholes to attract hatred!
If you want to start stirring up the storm of the Seven Kingdoms, stirring up Biaozi (that is, being a bitch) and setting up an archway, you have to pull hatred first, and let others get excited first!
The thirty-six categories of Chinese culture, the art of war, such as Sun Tzu's Art of War, Sun Bin's Art of War, Wu Zi, Liutao, Wei Xuanzi, Sima Fa, Taibai Yin Sutra, Tiger Sutra, Ji Xiao New Book, Actual Record of Military Training, Outline of Formation, etc., although I only read a little bit of fur in my college time, and I read it purely as an extracurricular entertainment article, but Moshan is very sure that it is no problem to take some fur to deal with these turtles in this half-animal husbandry and semi-agricultural civilization!
