The absurd method of adjudication of the martial arts trial is similar to the rules of the Roman gladiatorial arena that Li Nan is familiar with, when one side loses, the other side has the right to decide the life and death of the opponent. Ｘ

The sharp pain in his heart gradually subsided, and the hound, who had already woken up, looked at the dagger that Li Nan put on his neck, and whispered without fear: "Do it." ”

Li Nan looked up at the onlookers, King Robert obviously didn't care about the life or death of a guard, he had already gotten up and pulled Ed away, talking about the moves of the two just now as he walked.

Queen Cersei and the other nobles also did not care about the life and death of the hounds, and when they saw that the fight was over, everyone left.

When Prince Joffrey saw the defeat of the hound, he scolded angrily before leaving: "What a waste, let's kill him quickly." ”

Seeing these nobles leave one by one, Li Nan slowly put away the dagger and reached out to pull the hound up.

"Why don't you kill me?" The hound asked, confused.

Li Nan smiled and said, "We have neither enmity nor resentment, why should I kill you?" ”

"But I lost."

Li Nan, who picked up the spear and walked a few steps, looked back and said, "If all those who have failed must die, then there are not many people left in this world. ”

The hound looked at Li Nan's departing back, and after a while, said imperceptibly, "Thank you." ”

Since this incident in the woods, the entire convoy has finally calmed down, and it has been traveling by day and resting at night, all the way to King's Landing in the south.

Presumably because Joffrey's words and actions that night were so bad, he was reprimanded by King Robert and his mother Cersei, the perverted prince who has been looking a lot more honest lately.

After passing through Neck, the king's convoy headed south to a small town near the Trident River, where Robert decided to rest for a few days, as everyone had been tired from the recent journey, and there were many prostitutes here.

When you reach the area of the Trident River, in fact, even if you are in the south, this place is not far from King's Landing.

Although it is the same continent, according to the seasons on the earth, it is now early winter in the north, and late summer in the south, as the temperature continues to rise, Duke Ed and all the warriors from the north take off their warm clothes and cloaks under their armor.

The northerners did not pay attention to dressing, and after taking off the cold leather cloak that supported the façade, all that was left was ugly coarse cloth clothes. Sansa, who loves beauty, has long since left the Stark family's team and goes to the palace every day to get along with her future mother-in-law and husband, and the originally conservative blue cloth skirt has been replaced by a gorgeous silk dress.

Li Nan's current life is not bad, he and Jaime. The Lannisters were on good terms, and since the defeat of the Hound in that tournament, the ordinary soldiers in the convoy showed him enough respect, and some beautiful maids and noblewomen teased him from time to time.

Outside King Robert's tent, Li Nan came up to Jaime and asked, "Does the king do this often?" ”

The sound of King Robert and the prostitutes laughing at the tent kept coming, and after a disgusted look, Jaime said angrily, "He did it on purpose, he just wanted to humiliate me in this way." ”

Li Nan asked curiously: "Your relationship is really bad enough, but your sister is the queen, why would Robert treat you like this?" ”

"I guess he looks down on me as a monarch killer, but he's actually an idiot."

After a few words of conversation, Jaime said, "I see that those ladies and maids are very interested in you, why don't you go and play with them, and come here to stand guard with me?" ”

"Those ladies have husbands, and I don't want to get into trouble. By the way, that intelligence minister, the eight-clawed spider, you haven't finished yet. ”

Listening to Robert and the prostitutes' ghost screams here was boring anyway, so Jaime didn't mind chatting with Li Nan.

"The Minister of Intelligence, Varys, is said to be a Reese on the other side of the Narrow Sea, who was castrated as a eunuch at a young age. I don't know when, he began to sell all kinds of information to make a profit, and after his fame spread to the Seven Kingdoms, the mad king of the previous dynasty who didn't trust anyone recruited him. ”

"So, Varys, like you, are both former courtiers?"

"That's right, Varys is a smooth guy, and after the fall of the previous dynasty, Robert continued to make him Minister of Intelligence because there was no one to take his place. This man is very dangerous, and no one knows who he is loyal to, because his intelligence network spreads across both sides of the Narrow Sea, so he is known as the Octopus Spider. ”

After hearing Jaime's introduction to the Octopus, Li Nan immediately became very interested in this person, if he could recruit Varys back to the Great Song when the world returned, then he could have a complete intelligence network.

Li Nan was about to listen to the introductions of several other important ministers, when he suddenly saw Prince Joffrey, who had blood on his wrist, and Sansa, who was stained with tears, hurriedly ran over and entered the queen's tent in the distance.

Could it be that other adventurers have come and attacked the members of the royal family?

With such doubts, Li Nan hurriedly came to the queen's tent, intending to take a look.

From the tent, Joffrey screamed and yelled, "That damned girl of House Stark, Arya, she teamed up with a pig-killing kid to attack me, and she let that damn wolf bite me!" ”

Seeing her precious son's bloody arm, Queen Cersei shouted frantically, "Come, go and get Arya and the pig-killing boy back, and I want to see the wolf's corpse!" ”

A group of Lannister soldiers led the way, and Cersei yelled at the maid, "Fool, go and tell the king that his son has been attacked!" ”

The whole camp was boiling over because of this sudden incident, and even King Robert, who was not satisfied with the fire, walked out of his camp with his pants up.

Upon hearing what Joffrey had said, King Robert was furious and sent out a group of Baratheon soldiers and a few Kingsguards.

Li Nan, who was hiding on the side, quickly returned to the Stark family's tent and quickly told Duke Ed about it.

After Duke Ed heard this, his face became extremely serious, the last time Li Nan just threatened Joffrey in order to save two innocent girls, he made a big incident, but I didn't expect Arya to go even further this time, and His Royal Highness the noble prince actually saw blood.

After thinking about it for a while, Duke Ed said to Li Nan and Jory: "Everyone go out to look for it, you must find Arya before them, and you must not let her get hurt!" ”

Li Nan and Qiao Li commanded, "Yes, Lord Duke. ”

After leaving the tent, Li Nan hurriedly gathered all his followers and asked them to search for Arya's whereabouts together.

The so-called art industry has a specialization, if you are desperate to fight, then the first to recommend Dokot and Lin Chong, but when it comes to the means of tracing and finding traces, the two ninjas who do not know the fire dance and Hattori Hanzo are the most professional people.

The place where Joffrey and Arya had an argument was on the edge of the river, and when they arrived, Hattori Hanzo glanced at the scene and based on the subtle signs of broken grass and trees and the footprints that appeared on the soft ground,
