Although the days outside were free, but seeing the stagnant team points, Li Nan returned to the Prime Minister's Tower a few days later. Ｘ

When Li Nan arrived at the Prime Minister's study, he saw Duke Eddard, who had been calm and calm in Winterfell, pacing back and forth in an irritable mood like a caged beast.

"I'm back, my lord." Li Nan saluted respectfully.

"Leo, you're done?"

"It's all done, what are you bothering about?"

"Alas!" Duke Ed sighed heavily.

He came to the window, pointed to the city in the distance, and said, "Recently, the king is going to hold a jousting tournament, so many people have poured into King's Landing, and these people have caused a lot of chaos in the city, theft, fighting, rape, murder, and yesterday there was even a horse that got drunk and hit a lot of people. ”

Li Nan asked in surprise: "As far as I know, there are about more than 6,000 people in the golden robes of the capital garrison, are they still not able to manage public security?" ”

Duke Ed complained unhappily: "The commander-in-chief of the garrison of the capital, Count Genos, is an incompetent person, and the golden robes under his command can only bully merchants and drink and play with women, and when it is really time to do things, it is useless at all." ”

Pointing to the gold badge representing the Hand of the King on Duke Eddard's chest, Li Nan suggested, "You are now in charge of the affairs of the Seven Kingdoms for His Majesty the King, and since you know that Genos is a waste, replace him." I think you need someone you can trust to take the position of commander of the capital garrison. ”

Duke Ed sat on the chair and said helplessly: "The most important unit in the entire King's Landing is the capital garrison, although I propose to change the commander, but King Robert has more trust in Earl Genos, not to mention that several other important ministers have also expressed their opposition. ”

"Oh." Li Nan thought about it for a moment, and quickly understood King Robert's thoughts and the reasons for his opposition.

Although Duke Ed and King Robert have a brotherly relationship, after all, time has passed, more than ten years have passed, and it is now difficult for Robert to put the most important army in King's Landing in the hands of others.

In the face of such a situation, Li Nan didn't have any good ideas, although Duke Ed was now nominally the prime minister of the Seven Kingdoms under one person and above 10,000 people, but he had neither military power nor financial power in his hands, what else could he do? No wonder he was in such a bad mood.

After a moment of silence, Li Nan persuaded from the bottom of his heart for himself and for the sake of the Stark family: "Lord Eddard, you are not suitable for King's Landing, in my opinion, you should find an opportunity to resign from the position of Hand of the King, let's go back to the north." ”

"Alas! Why don't I want to leave here? Duke Ed touched the badge on his chest representing the identity of the Hand of the King, and sighed: "Since Robert needs me, even if I don't like it, I must continue to do it, and besides, we northern warriors never bow down in the face of difficulties!" ”

Although Li Nan didn't approve of Duke Eddard's foolish and loyal thoughts, he couldn't change anything, and he couldn't change his court, so he could only help as much as possible.

The jousting tournament to celebrate the new Prime Minister is about to begin, and with countless people coming to King's Landing every day, the city, which already has a permanent population of 500,000, becomes increasingly crowded and chaotic.

Duke Ed had to diligently attend the imperial meeting every day, and deal with the affairs of the Seven Kingdoms all night, Li Nan followed him to earn some points, and at night he either practiced marksmanship, or practiced another kind of kung fu with two beautiful followers, and the days were busy and peaceful, but what happened soon broke this peace.

A few days later, Duke Eddard, who had attended the pre-imperial meeting, hurriedly walked out of the Red Keep with Jory, Li Nan and others with an unusual look and rushed to the Rhaenys Hills.

Looking at his gloomy face, Li Nan asked in a low voice, "My lord, what happened?" ”

Duke Eddard said, "Someone assassinated Bran not long ago, so Catelyn secretly came to King's Landing with an assassin's dagger to find me, and I am going to see her now." ”

"What!" Hearing the news, Li Nan asked in surprise, "Is Bran okay?" Who would send an assassin to kill an innocent child? ”

"Bran is fine, as for the other details, I don't know, we'll know later."

The group came to the most famous brothel in King's Landing City as quickly as possible, that is, the seven-story paradise that Li Nan had just come to consume a few days ago, and a familiar person was waiting at the door.

Seeing Duke Ed arrive, the well-dressed and handsome Chancellor of the Exchequer Littlefinger hurriedly greeted him.

The tall and mighty Duke Ed stretched out his right hand, directly grabbed the neck of Little Finger, and said angrily: "You actually brought my wife to the brothel? ”

Little Finger, who couldn't breathe well, blushed and laboriously explained, "I definitely didn't mean to offend Caitlyn and you, this is my shop, you can avoid people's eyes......"

Seeing that Littlefinger was about to be strangled to death by Duke Eddard, Mrs. Caitlin's voice came from the window on the second floor: "Ed, let him go, he is our friend!" ”

Since it was his own wife who spoke, Ed, who was anxious to know what had happened, finally let go of his little finger and walked in quickly.

After Li Nan followed Ed into the luxurious VIP room, he saw that not only Lady Catelyn and Sir Rodric, the head of Winterfell who protected her, but also a fat man in silk robes, the Minister of Intelligence, the eight-clawed spider.

When Mrs. Caitlyn saw her long-lost husband, she threw herself into his arms and told him everything aggrievedly.

It turns out that one night ago, the library of Winterfell suddenly caught fire, and while everyone was busy putting out the fire, an Assassin sneaked into Bran's room to kill him.

Lady Caitlin, who cared about her son, happened to arrive in Bran's room at this time, and while she was fighting the Assassins, Bran's ice wolf, Summer, killed the Assassins on the spot.

After Lady Caitlyn finished speaking, she handed Duke Ed an unusually delicate dagger.

After Duke Ed pulled out his dagger, he said in surprise: "This is Valyrian steel!" ”

The octopus spider looked at it and confirmed, "This is indeed Valyrian steel. ”

Duke Ed asked, "Lord Varys, your intelligence network is said to be all over the Seven Kingdoms, do you know the owner of this dagger?" ”

"It's a pity." The octopus spider shook his head and said, "I don't know who the owner of the dagger is. ”

The most well-informed intelligence minister, the eight-clawed spider, didn't know, that basically meant that this clue was broken, and just when everyone was disappointed, Little Finger suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha......" Littlefinger smiled: "Today is really a memorable day, I actually know what the octopus spider doesn't know." ”

When Mrs. Caitlyn heard this, she hurriedly asked, "You know?" Tell me who the owner of the dagger is! ”

"This dagger originally belonged to me, and at Prince Joffrey's name day tournament, I made a bet on it and bet on James. The Lannister won, but he was defeated by the Knight of the Hundred Flowers, so in the end I lost the dagger. ”

"Who did you lose to?" Mr. and Mrs. Ed asked in unison.

"Tyrion. Lannister, aka Little Devil. ”

Upon hearing the name, Lady Caitlyn roared angrily, "Lannister! I knew it was the Lannisters! Ed, I'm going to kill this damn little devil and avenge Bran! ”

After Duke Ed heard this, anger flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to have identified the murderer, and Li Nan, who was afraid that he would do something stupid on his behalf, hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Lord Duke, madam, can you listen to me?" ”

Although Li Nan has been loyal to the Stark family for a short time, he has proven himself in several things and saved their lives, so he has some weight in the hearts of the Eddards.

At this time, although the two of them were full of anger, Duke Ed still said in a deep voice: "Leo, you say. ”

Li Nan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Duke Ed would impulsively go to the people of the Lannister family to fight hard, you must know that in King's Landing, the Lannister family has an absolute advantage in both power and strength, don't forget Cersei. The Lannister is the queen of the Seven Kingdoms.

"Valyrian steel is a rare metal forged by magic, and I learned from the books of the Scholar of Thurgood that there are only two hundred and twenty-seven weapons made of Valyrian steel in the entire continent of Westeros, all of which are collected as heirlooms by major families."

Li Nan pointed to the exquisite Valyrian dagger and said, "Then the question is, what kind of stupid assassin would assassinate a child with the rare dagger that the nobles regarded as family heirlooms?" And the assassin who uses this kind of dagger can't deal with a lady who doesn't know martial arts and a child who can't move his legs? ”r
