Chapter Ninety-Nine: Turmoil
Chapter Ninety-Nine: Turmoil
These people are crazy! Hunger has caused them to lose their minds, and their actions are not planned actions, but sudden outbursts, catharsis for the suffering they have suffered in the past. Chen Cheng clasped his hands in front of his chest, quietly looking at the chaos in the city, and a trace of pity arose in his heart.
Despicable kings, foolish people, have always been.
He found a higher place and watched as Tyrion followed the king's horse into the gap in the gate, with Polon's sword with him. As they galloped, a bumpy stone flew past their scalps, and a rotting cabbage smashed into Sir Mandon's shield and scattered in all directions. To their left, three golden-robed guards were overwhelmed by the surging crowd, and then the crowd trampled on their bodies and rushed forward. The hound's horse was still following, but the owner was nowhere to be seen.
Alan Santaga was pulled off the saddle and the black gold banner of House Baratheon was ripped off his hand. Sir Baron Swain threw down the Lannister's lion banner and drew his sword. As he slashed left and right, the falling flags were torn apart by the crowd, and thousands of ragged pieces swirled and flew like red leaves in a storm, and they disappeared in an instant.
A man stumbled before Joffrey and the king rode over him. Hearing only a scream from under the hoof, others could not tell whether it was a man, a woman, or a child. Joffrey's face was pale, and he ran forward, Sir Mandon Moore on the left, like a white shadow.
Now that the city is in chaos, it's time to go to the Red Keep to see the dragon bones in the dungeon. But just as he jumped from the roof, the voice of the woman crying for help in panic came to his ears. It's none of my business, Chen Cheng took a step forward, his voice calling for help became more and more urgent, and he couldn't take the second step.
Well, I'm a hypocrite. Chen Cheng sighed in his heart, turned around and walked towards the place where the cry for help came from. If we want to save more people, of course, we need to reform the system of this world, but ........... Forget it, he thought to himself: Who are you going to tell from here?
"Hey, let go of that girl!"
The mob in brown clothes turned a deaf ear, dragging the hair of a crying woman, some unbuttoning their pants, others tearing the girl's gorgeous clothes. There are two different classes, the perpetrator is guilty, and the perpetrator is not entirely innocent.
But since you have encountered it, of course, it must be smooth. Hey, that's a good word, to be a man, of course, it's to be happy!
"I said, let go of that girl!"
"Choke"! The twin knives were already in their hands, and their wrists flew, and several people around them were chopped to pieces. The blood calmed their desires a little. "Who? How dare you meddle with our business? The remaining seven or eight men took out their knives and rushed forward with a howl.
The double knives lit up again, one by one, and never missed. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen corpses had fallen here. Blood splattered in all directions, pouring down the face of the girl on the ground. Chen Cheng wiped the double knife on the corpse, cleaned the bloodstains, and then put the knife into the sheath and stretched out his hand to the woman on the ground, "Where do you live?" Come on, I'll take you home. ”
Is it right or wrong to kill a dozen people in order to save one person?
Loriss was terrified, she didn't know how it had come to this. It was as if all of a sudden, the whole world went crazy. A group of men dragged her by the hair to this remote place, and reached out to tear her clothes, crying and begging them to let her go, but no one paid any attention.
Then she prayed to the gods in the sky, and a Dornite appeared before her.
"God, you must have heard my call!" Loris, who had always been timid, stretched out her palm and grabbed her knight, her prince, her god.
Chen Cheng pulled the girl up and asked again, "Where do you live?" ”
Loris's face flushed, her voice as thin as a mosquito's call, and she stammered, "I am the daughter of Count Tanda, and I live in the Red Keep. ”
Chen Cheng raised his eyebrows, a count's daughter, the weight is not small. But why does the woman in front of you seem to be a little not too smart? Was it frightened, or was it meant to be?
Suddenly, that crazy world has been left behind, and the likes of Tyrion and Joffrey "click" through the cobblestone square in front of the castle. A column of pikemen guarded the gate. Sir Jeslyn was regrouping his lancers and preparing to charge again, while the pikemen parted on either side, letting the king and his party through the iron gates. The reddish walls rise high overhead, and they are crowded with crossbowers, which is reassuring.
Tyrion doesn't remember how he got off his horse. Sir Mandon was helping the trembling king down, Cersei, Tommen, and Lansel rode through the gate, followed by Sir Marin and Sir Beros. The sword of Beros was stained with blood, and the white robe on Marin's back had been torn off. Sir Baron Swain's helmet was missing, and his mount was sweating profusely and spitting blood.
Horace Redwin escorted Countess Tanda back, but her daughter Loris was knocked off her horse and could not escape, and she was so anxious that she went crazy. The Earl of Gales, whose face was paler than usual, stammered an account of how the archbishop had fallen out of the palanquin, and the crowd swarmed up while he prayed sharply. Jalaba Saul saw Sir Preston's Greenfield rush back to the archbishop's overturned palanquin, but he couldn't be sure.
Tyrion was vaguely aware that a maester was asking if he was injured. Without saying a word, he pushed away the crowd in the courtyard and came to his nephew. His crown was crooked to one side, and there was condensation of feces on it. "Traitor!" Joffrey was excitedly yelling, "Chop off their heads!" I'm going to ......."
The gnome slapped Joffrey's flushed face and knocked the crown flying. Then he pushed him to the ground and kicked him with his legs, "You blind fool!"
"They're traitors!" Joffrey screamed on the ground. "They insulted me and attacked me!"
"That's because you let your dog go to deal with them! What do you think will happen to them? Obediently kneel down and let the hounds slaughter? You spoiled little brat, you don't have any brains, God knows how many more people have killed you except Clegane, and you escaped unscathed! You damn it!"
He kicked him hard. It was so enjoyable that he wanted to kick it twice, but Joffrey wailed loudly, and Mandon Moores pulled Tyrion away, and then Bronn hugged him. Cersei threw Lancel to Sir Baron Swain and fell to her knees beside her son.
Tyrion was King Joffrey's uncle, and he didn't like this cruel nephew in his daily life, so he beat up a king in public, and he felt a lot of joy in his heart. He shook off Bolon's hand and asked, "How many people are still outside?" He yelled, not knowing who he was talking to.
"My daughter!" Sister Countess Tan cried. "Please! Somebody has to save Loris......."
"Sir Preston did not come back," Sir Buros Braun reported, "neither did Alan Santaga." ”
"The 'nanny' has not returned," said Sir Horace Redwin. It was the nickname given to Tirek Lannister Jr. by the squires.
Tyrion looked around the courtyard. "Where's the Stark girl?"
There was silence for a while. Finally Joffrey spoke: "She first rode next to me, and then I don't know where she went. ”
Tyrion pressed his numb fingers against his temple, which was aching. If Sansa and Stark have three long and two short, Jaime will not escape death. "Sir Mandon, you are her bodyguard."
Sir Mandon Moore was unmoved, "When they began to besiege the hounds, the first thing that came to my mind was the king. ”
"That's exactly how it should be," Cersei interjected. "Beros, Marin, go back to the girl."
"And my daughter," sobbed Lady Tan, "please, sir......
Sir Beros did not seem to want to leave the castle in its safe place. "Your Majesty," he told the Queen Mother, "I am afraid that our white robes will anger the mob." ”
Tyrion had enough, "Wrets take your fucking robes!" If you don't dare to wear it, take it off for me! You goddamn fool...... But you'll have to get Sansa back, or I'll swear I'll have Shaga split your ugly head in half and see if there's anything else in it but the black mush! ”
Shagar was the tribal leader of Tyrion's subjugation, and came to King's Landing with hundreds of fallen warriors.
Sir Beros's face turned purple with anger, and he roared angrily, "You say I'm ugly, just you? ”
He raised the bloody sword, his armoured hand gripping it tightly, and Bronn shoved Tyrion behind him.
"Stop!" Cersei snapped. "Bolos, do as I am told, or we will give this robe to someone else. Remember your vows........"
"She's there!" Joffrey suddenly pointed outside and shouted.
Sandor Cregan rode Sansa's maroon mount and ran into the gates in high spirits. The girl sat behind him, arms tightly wrapped around the hound's chest.
Tyrion yelled at her, "Are you hurt, Miss Sansa?"
There was a deep wound in her scalp, and blood was dripping down her forehead. "They....... They throw things....... Stones, garbage, eggs....... I kept telling them that I didn't have bread. But one man still tried to pull me down. The hound killed him, it seems...... His arm ........."
Her eyes widened and she covered her mouth. "He cut off his arm!"
Clegane, the hound, lifted her to the ground. His white robe was tattered and stained, and blood oozed from a jagged crack in his left sleeve. "The little bird is bleeding. Come! Who brought her back to the cage to heal her wounds? Franconia hurriedly stepped forward.
"Santaga is dead," continued the hound. "Four men dragged him down and took turns hitting him on the head with pebbles. I slaughtered one, but I couldn't save Sir Allen. ”
Countess Tanda approached, "My daughter ........."
"I haven't seen it at all." The hound frowned and looked around the courtyard. "Where's my horse? If that horse has three longs and two shorts, I have to find someone to settle the score!"
"It ran after us for a while," Tyrion said, "but I don't know what happened. ”
"Fire!" A scream arose from the city walls, "My lords, there's a fire in the city!" The flea nest is on fire!"
In the flames, Chen Cheng pulled Loris to the gate of the city and shouted, "This is the daughter of Countess Tanda, open the door quickly!" ”
When the Countess of Tanda heard the shout, she walked to the top of the city, and wept with joy, "Open the door, that's Loris!" ”
