Chapter 108: Contact
"Mason Asplin?"
Jaime picked up the signet ring and immediately recognized the family represented by the seal on it.
Although the Apoplin family is just an extremely inconspicuous little nobleman, after Zhang Cheng defeated the "Hundred Flowers Knight" with a perfect posture, someone made his background check clear.
Just when the "monarch killer" was hesitating to go to the appointment, Queen Cersei suddenly broke in with a frosty face.
When she saw the ring in her brother's hand, she immediately asked, "What are you holding in your hand?"
"Nothing, just a signet ring. A guy just now sent an invitation for his master, saying that he wanted to talk with me to the beach before sunset. Jaime Lannister shrugged his shoulders indifferently and tossed the ring to his sister.
"Mason Asplin, does this guy have the guts to send someone to contact you?" Cersei's already unattractive face suddenly became even more gloomy.
As a woman with a particularly strong sense of revenge, she will not forget the humiliation she received during the previous argument, and now she can't wait to arrest Zhang Cheng and dismantle him.
Jaime undoubtedly sensed his sister's strong reaction, and immediately laughed and quipped, "Why, has this Mason offended you?" It doesn't matter, as long as I win this game, the next line may be against him, and then I will teach him a good lesson for you, so that he can understand the fate of offending our beautiful queen." ”
"Idiot, don't you know? He almost killed Gregor Clegane just now! To be exact, Gregor Clegane had no power to fight back in front of him! Not only was his entire face ruined, but even the thumb of his right hand was cut off, and although the bachelor said that his life was not in danger, he would basically be a waste in the future. Do you think you're more powerful than the Magic Mountain?" Cersei scolded angrily.
"What?!!How is this possible?" Jaime froze in surprise.
Perhaps others don't know the real horror of Gregor Clegane, but as a direct member of the Lannister family, he has the privilege of seeing the "magic mountain" when he goes berserk, almost splitting people in half from the middle with a single sword.
Especially the innate strange power, ordinary people can't bear it at all, and they will be overturned to the ground in an instant.
He couldn't think of anyone who could leave such a terrible monster defenseless.
Cersei took a deep breath and explained, "The facts are right in front of you, believe it or not, it happened. My stupid husband of the king is even debating with his stupid brother what kind of nickname he should give this Mason. You know? Right now, half of the nobles in King's Landing are starting to take action, intending to recruit him. ”
"I'm kind of looking forward to this meeting, and by the way, how he intends to explain what he's doing. Don't forget, dear sister, we're Lannisters who have debts to pay. While Gregor Clegane is a nasty mad dog, he's our guy anyway. With that, Jaime stood up, put on his helmet, and headed outside.
With the sound of the trumpet echoing through the arena once again, he needed to face his next opponent.
"Wait! If you're going to make your appointment, you'd better bring some guards, I'm not sure he's coming for us. You should understand that these are extraordinary times and anything can happen. Cersei reminded with a serious face.
"Don't worry, I'm not a fool. ”
......
In the evening, as the sun slowly set along the sea level, a small group of heavily armed soldiers ran out of the city gates and surrounded a secluded beach.
The leader of the team is none other than the famous "Kingkiller" James Lannister.
"Good evening, Sir Jaime, you came a little later than I expected. But it doesn't matter, the sun hasn't set yet, has it?" Zhang Cheng greeted with a smile as he sat on the smooth rock, flipping through the books in his hand.
"You've been sitting here waiting for me?" Jaime raised his hand to signal the soldiers to put away their hostility and walk closer alone.
Zhang Cheng nodded slightly: "That's right! I've been waiting for you for about two hours." ”
"What if I don't come?" said Jaime tentatively, with a cynical look.
"Hehe, if you don't come, then I'll go find someone else. For example, Stark, Baratheon, and Tyrrell, anyway, chaos will not be long before chaos descends on this land, and with my ability, no matter which side I join, I can achieve my goals. Zhang Cheng closed the book and spread his hands.
Although his original plan was to use the power of the Lannister family to gain power and status by means of minimizing the destruction of the original plot, he didn't mind changing it if the other party couldn't communicate.
Anyway, judging from the plot, whether it is Stark, Baratheon, or Tyrrell, they all have a chance to sit on the Iron Throne.
As for Nellis Targaryen, who was on the other side of the sea, it was not in his mind at all.
The reason is very simple, "Dragon Mother" is strictly an out-and-out idealist, and anyone with a little experience understands that the more serious a person's idealistic tendencies are, the more difficult they tend to get along with.
Zhang Cheng didn't want to stay with a woman who was both self-righteous and lacked the experience and skill to rule, otherwise no matter how beautiful he looked, he wouldn't be able to help but kill the other party in a few days.
Jaime subconsciously frowned, and asked in a tone that was not very certain, "The so-called chaos in your mouth should not mean war, right?"
"What is it but war? Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, just a few hours ago, I got an interesting piece of news. Your brother Tyrion Lannister is kidnapped by the new Prime Minister's wife, Caitlin Tully, on his way back to King's Landing, and is expected to be in the Eagle's Nest. Think about it, if something happens to him, how will your father, Duke Tywin, react?" Zhang Cheng deliberately revealed the whereabouts of the "little devil".
Calculating the time, the news will reach King's Landing shortly after the tournament ends, and he just makes the time a little earlier, which should not cause too much damage to the plot, and at the same time gain the trust of the "Kingkiller".
"My brother has been kidnapped?!!Are you sure!" James' face changed dramatically.
Zhang Cheng replied without hesitation: "That's right! I swear by my own honor that this news is absolutely true, and you can go back and verify it yourself." ”
"Damn!" Jaime cursed under his breath, glaring at his eyes, "Tell me, what is your purpose in asking me out?
"Of course not! I would like you to convey a message to Duke Tywin that if he needs help, he can always send someone to me, and that I am willing to take out any dangerous enemy for him, as long as there is enough payment. ”
After saying this, Zhang Cheng ignored Jaime and ignored the surrounding soldiers, and disappeared straight through the city gate to the end of the street......
