Time flies, and as the tournament comes to an end, King's Landing returns to its normal appearance.

Of course, this is only superficial, and those who have a little vision secretly realize that the conflict between the two major families of the Lannisters in the West and Stark in the North is becoming increasingly fierce, and the slightest carelessness can lead to war.

Now everyone is waiting to see what Robert Baratheon will do.

But the king, who knew only pleasure indulgence, was so good that he suddenly threw everything to the prime minister Ed, and went hunting outside the city with his attendants.

Blanco got the news and immediately returned to his lodgings and told his master......

"Oh, are you sure our King is out of town, do you know who he is carrying?" asked Zhang Cheng, touching his chin.

"Yes, I saw him out of the city with my own eyes. As for the retinue, it seems that there are his younger brothers, the Duke of Ranley, Sir Barristan, and Lancel Lannister, and some others whose names I don't know......" The old mercenary replied in a tone of uncertainty as he struggled to recall.

"Wait, you say there's Lancel Lannister?" Zhang Cheng's eyes instantly burst out with two fine lights.

"Yes, yes, if I'm not mistaken, he's supposed to be the Queen's cousin, an inconspicuous little man, why do you want to pay attention to him?" Blanco had a puzzled look on his face.

He didn't realize that it was this inconspicuous little person who would become the fuse that swept the war of the Seven Kingdoms.

Zhang Cheng just smiled and gently stroked the uneven shell of the dragon egg without giving any explanation.

After a long while, he picked up a black cloth and covered the dragon's egg, and then without looking back, he commanded, "Go and tell Derry to prepare a decent set of clothes for me, and it is time to visit the queen." ”

"As you wish......" Blanco bowed.

Although there are countless unclear questions in his mind, he understands a truth, that is, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and sometimes it's not a good thing to know too much.

In just a few minutes, the butler took the maid to change into a black dress for Zhang Cheng, and rode straight to the Royal Castle at the top of Aegon Hill, the Red Fort.

Due to the aura of the champion of the tournament and the imminent marriage to the Tyrells, the guards simply confirmed their identity and let them go.

Just as he was about to go directly to meet Cersei Lannister, he suddenly ran into the last person he wanted to bump into in the corridor around the corner - "Littlefinger".

"Ah, Sir Mason, what is the wind that has brought you to the Red Keep, have you not been busy preparing for your wedding lately, and marrying the beautiful Miss Eiro?" said Petyr Beriss, with a pretended surprise of surprise.

"You're right, I'm planning my wedding. However, you should understand that I am only a knight who is good at sword wielding and sword, and I am not good at this, so I intend to ask Her Majesty the Queen for advice. Zhang Cheng, who lied without blinking, secretly raised his vigilance and made up an excuse at will.

In the face of the best conspirators in the entire continent of Westeros, he did not dare to take it lightly.

"Is it really just for the wedding?" Baelish curled the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile.

Zhang Cheng spread his hands innocently: "What else can it be besides a wedding?"

"Hehe, I'm sorry, maybe I'm too careful. But just to be on the safe side, let me ask again, we're still friends, aren't we?" Little Finger took two steps forward and whispered tentatively.

"My dear Count, whether we are friends or not has always depended not on me, but on you. If I'm not mistaken, it seems that you are secretly collecting everything about the Children of the Forest behind my back, which is not what a friend should do. Zhang Cheng pushed back without showing weakness.

He understands that blindly pretending to be stupid and stunned is definitely the best way to deal with the sinister and cunning guy in front of him, and sometimes showing a little dissatisfaction is the smartest choice.

The expression on Berish's face froze instantly, and it took a full half minute before he could barely squeeze out a smile: "Where did you hear this?"

"Please don't worry about these details, I naturally have my own methods. The key question is, shouldn't you take it out and share it with me, a friend? I promise that this critical moment will never disrupt your plans again. Zhang Chengyi made a deep request.

"No problem, I'll have the materials delivered to your home later. After all...... We're friends......"

After saying this, Baerichi nodded with anger in his heart, and quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Looking at his slightly embarrassed figure, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile and mutter, "Keep up the good work, my friend, I hope that the next time we meet, I can get more information about the Children of the Forest from you." ”

After a short hiccup, Zhang Cheng quickly walked through the corridor to the queen's bedroom.

As soon as he walked through the door, he saw Cersei sitting alone on the balcony, looking down at King's Landing, with a bottle of valuable Dorne wine on the table, pouring herself a drink.

Maybe it's the sound of footsteps, or maybe it's a woman's naturally sharp sixth sense.

Anyway, Cersei quickly noticed someone entering the room, put down the empty cup in her hand, and ordered without looking back, "Fill it for me!"

For this tentative little method, Zhang Cheng shook his head with a disapproving smile, stepped forward, directly poured the empty cup, followed by raising his head and drinking it all, then put the cup back on the table, and said in a slightly proud tone: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I am a knight who charges into battle, not an attendant who pours wine for you." ”

"Oh?"

Cersei obviously didn't expect anyone to dare to make such a bold move, and immediately looked back at Zhang Cheng.

After about a minute or two, she suddenly burst out laughing without warning, and teased as she laughed, "Hahahaha! What a knight who charges into battle! So what is the purpose of you, the knight, who came to me today?"

"It's easy! I had something to say to your brother Jaime some time ago, and now I want to know what Lord Tywin means. Knowing that chaos and war are coming, I hope to be prepared before they come. With that, Zhang Cheng sat on another chair and quietly waited for an answer.

"Hmph! You're bold, bolder than anyone I've ever met, but the question is, what do you have to offer, and what do you want. The Lannisters don't just accept a stranger as an ally, especially an ambitious one. ”

Perhaps knowing that Robert was about to die, Cersei spoke without concealing it at all, and made everything clear in a generous way......
