Chapter 272: An Unexpected Battle
Little Finger smiled proudly at Li Nan and walked into the study.
After giving the salute, Littlefinger said to Duke Eddard, "I have heard that your Excellency is planning to return to the North, so I have something to tell you. ”
Duke Eddard, who was sorting out the letters coming and going on the desk, said nonchalantly: "Let's talk straight, we are about to set off." ”
"I found the last person I saw before I died, the former Prime Minister, Duke Jon, and I wonder if your Excellency would be interested in meeting her?"
Ed came to King's Landing this time, firstly because of the invitation of his friend King Robert, and secondly, to investigate the truth about his father's death.
Raising his head to look at Littlefinger, Duke Ed asked, "Where is the person you are talking about?" ”
Littlefinger smiled and said, "She's in my brothel, and it doesn't take more than an hour to go back and forth, and it doesn't delay the adult's trip." ”
After hesitating for a moment, Duke Ed said to Qiao Li and Li Nan, "Let the guards guard this place, and the two of you will bring a few good hands with me to take a look." ”
The group galloped to the seventh floor of heaven, and Littlefinger led Ed to the second floor, where he met a woman holding a child.
This woman is a prostitute, as for the baby girl in her arms is the illegitimate son of King Robert, seeing the baby's black hair, Li Nan has already guessed why the former prime minister saw this prostitute, he wants to prove the color of the king's child's hair.
After Duke Ed chatted with the prostitute for a few words, he still had no clue, so he had to take Li Nan and Jory out of the brothel.
In the open space in front of the brothel, I don't know when many Lannister soldiers in black and red armor appeared.
According to the rules of King's Landing, all nobles are not allowed to bring more than two hundred private soldiers into the city, and Li Nan estimated that this should be all the people of the Lannister family in the city.
The Lannister soldiers with spears parted, and a handsome blonde man stepped out, none other than the Kingsguard, the Queen's own brother, and Jaime the Kingkiller. Lannister.
Jaime looked at Duke Ed and his guards, and sneered, "Just a few wolves." ”
Seeing that Jaime was not good in the afterlife, Li Nan hurriedly asked, "James, what do you want to do?" Don't forget that Lord Eddard is the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms. ”
"Hahaha, he's not the prime minister anymore, just a lord of the north."
Jaime took a few steps forward, pointed at Lenan and said, "I cherish our friendship, but my brother Tyrion was kidnapped by the Stark family on the way back, and I can't leave this matter alone!" ”
Duke Eddard didn't know about this, but after hearing James's words, he thought that his wife, Catelyn, was returning to the North, and that she might have met the little demon Tyrion on the way, and according to her fiery temper, she had captured him nine times out of ten.
"It was my order to arrest your brother, and he is responsible for his crimes."
Jaime said to Duke Eddard with murderous intent, "My brother has never done anything, and you dare to slander our Lannisters' captors. Draw your sword, I want to see you die with a sword! ”
Duke Eddard is not good at intrigue, but he is not stupid, and Jaime has brought too many people at the moment, and he knows that he is definitely not an opponent, so he threatened: "If you kill me, your brother will not end well." ”
"Hehe, you're right." Jaime sneered and instructed his soldiers, "Don't kill him and Leo, kill everyone else." ”
Jaime gave the order, and hundreds of Lannister private soldiers quickly stepped forward, and countless spears stabbed at the dozen or so guards beside Eddard.
Seeing that most of the loyal guards who had followed him to King's Landing were slaughtered in an instant, Duke Ed angrily drew his ice sword to stop the soldiers.
Although the private soldiers of the Lannister family did not attack Li Nan, they rushed towards Lin Chong and Dorcott, Li Nan naturally couldn't let them die, and quickly drew the long sword at his waist to fight with these soldiers.
After Duke Ed was stopped by many soldiers, Jaime came to the front of Jory, the captain of the guard, and blocked the opponent's weapon with his sword in his right hand, and drew a dagger with his left hand and stabbed Jory in the eye.
Seeing the captain of the guard who he had watched grow up die in front of him, Duke Ed yelled angrily, "No! ”
In his anger, Duke Ed finally showed his superior strength as a lord of the North, holding the ice greatsword made of rare Valyrian steel in both hands, and sliced more than a dozen spears in front of him with a single blow, and the second sword slashed the throats of those soldiers.
Just as Duke Ed wanted to continue killing the soldiers, Jaime swung his sword at him.
As a genius swordsman, Jaime knew that his weapon was inferior to the opponent's Valyrian sword, so every time the two swords met, he would avoid the blade of the Ice Sword and skillfully collide with the spine of the great sword.
When Duke Ed and Jaime fought alone, Li Nan's side was also in danger, originally these soldiers were not much of a threat except for their numbers, but suddenly two spears flew out of the soldiers like lightning.
One spear was slashed by the elusive Hattori Hanzo, and the other stabbed at the back of the unsuspecting Li Nan.
Li Nan dodged the flying spear, but his left arm was still slashed, and after quickly swinging his sword to kill the two soldiers in front of him, he looked back and saw that it was the Spartan king who was good at throwing spears.
Looking at these two people, Li Nan said coldly: "Why, even if you subordinates are defeated, you dare to come out to find death?" ”
"I know you have a lot of people, so what about me?" As the words sounded, Lancelot, who was loyal to Littlefinger, also surrounded him with his followers.
Looking at the six people in the two teams, Li Nan, who was prepared for this, secretly made a gesture to the roof of the opposite building, and said to them disdainfully: "This is not enough!" ”
"Don't wait, your man is dead." With the sound of Senranmaru's words, a leather bag was thrown at Li Nan's feet, and several severed heads rolled out.
One of the human heads on the ground belonged to Nan Yi, an archer from the Han Kingdom, Li Nan was worried about what Littlefinger would do, so he ordered him to take the hired archers to ambush on the roof of the building opposite the seven-story heaven, not wanting to be killed by Mori Lan Maru and Scarlet Village Kenshin and others, this was the first time that Li Nan's team had lost manpower since they came to this world.
"Moran Maru, you are loyal to the royal family of Baratheon, why did you come to this troubled water?"
Mori Lanmaru, a beautiful man with a beautiful face that makes it impossible to distinguish between male and female, said viciously: "Our allegiance is indeed to the Baratheon family, but don't forget the hatred between us. ”
Now Li Nan didn't have time to lament Nanyi's death, seeing that the people of these three teams were gathered here, and they still had a large number of soldiers to use, Li Nan knew that it would be very difficult to escape this time.
Just as the arrows were being drawn from here, Ed and Jaime's warband suddenly made progress, and a soldier attacked from behind and stabbed Duke Ed in the shin.
Just when everyone thought that Jaime would take advantage of this good opportunity to kill Duke Ed with his sword, he came up to his own soldier, smashed his nose with a punch, and then angrily ordered all the soldiers to retreat.
Jaime's little remaining knightly honor saved Li Nan and the others, and all the Lannister private soldiers were the first to leave, Xerxes and his men were also forced to accompany him, and seeing the bad situation Mori Ranmaru and Scarlet Village Kenshin disappeared quietly, only Li Nan and Lancelot were left on the scene.
Now that Duke Ed was bleeding from the ground, Li Nan did not go after Lancelot and his men, but quickly drew the spear from his lap and protected him back to the Prime Minister's Tower.
