Chapter 111: The Tournament (End)

[34.], to provide you with wonderful reading.

Maintaining the purity of one's own blood and marriage is an eternal theme under the feudal system of Westeros, and it is the most important part of the rules of Game of Thrones.

Anyone who wanted to break with this tradition would immediately stand in opposition to the entire aristocratic class.

Zhang Cheng has never been an idealist, let alone undermining any existing system for so-called "noble" purposes.

Because he understands that no matter what the system is, as long as it exists, it means that there is a huge vested interest group behind it, not to mention how much sacrifice it takes to break it, just changing people's subconscious perception of identity cannot be done in a day or two.

It is estimated that only a political idiot like Daenerys Targaryen, who doesn't understand anything, would do the stupid act of directly announcing the abolition of slavery and then leaving it alone.

"Then dear friend, I won't bother you to prepare for the competition, and the rest of the specific matters will wait for you to win the championship of the tournament, and then we will hold a banquet and talk slowly. Also, you need some time to get to know my cousin Ai Luo. With that, Loras turned around and gave the girl not far away a suggestive look, and quickly disappeared into the noisy crowd.

Clearly, he couldn't wait to pass on the good news.

Just as Elo Tyrell was hesitating to go a thousand to say hello to his fiancΓ©, a young squire burst in, panting and shouting, "Sir Mason! ”

"Now, who is my opponent, doesn't he need to rest?" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

According to the rules of the tournament, in order to ensure fairness, each participant can go back to rest that day after completing a match, and the next match will not be held until the next day.

For now, Jaime Lannister has escaped King's Landing, so as long as the "Kingkiller" does not arrive before the game starts, the king will announce that he has abstained.

In other words, Zhang Cheng did not go through the competition, and the contestants on the other side had to defeat their opponents today first, and then participate in the second competition, which can be described as quite unfair.

"The one you compete for the championship of the spear is Sir Sandor Clegane, and his opponent has just abstained, so His Majesty thinks that today is a good day to decide the champion. Please hurry, now all the spectators are waiting for the final battle. The young squire quickly explained.

"Okay, I see, please give me a few minutes to put on my armor. ”

Although Zhang Cheng didn't understand why the opponent of "Hound Dog" would suddenly abstain, he still stood up and pretended to put on the armor that basically didn't weigh much, and then rode on a new war horse and slowly walked towards the competition venue.

The moment he passed by the girl, Ai Luo suddenly mustered up the courage to step forward and said in a slightly nervous tone, "Lord Mason, I will sit down and cheer for you." ”

"Thank you, I will also win this tournament for you. Don't worry, Sandor Clegane isn't my match at all, he can't even make it for a round. With that, Zhang Cheng took the girl's arm, kissed it lightly on the back of his hand, and then put on his helmet and went straight to the left side of the stands.

The moment he appeared in full view, the crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and some women carried baskets to sprinkle delicate petals into the air, as if the protagonist appeared in style.

In comparison, the "Hound Dog" is a little miserable, not to mention cheering, and there are not many people who are even willing to look at him squarely.

Especially the ugly burns on the face, it is like a hideous and terrifying monster, and any normal person will inevitably have a preconceived idea that this is a vicious and cruel villain.

Feeling the almost one-sided support rate in the field, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile and shook his head and sighed: "It's incredible! In just a few days, I have gone from a little-known small role to a big figure in the eye-catching, perhaps this is the charm of the martial arts competition." Fame, wealth, and social status, all the things that everyone desires can be satisfied here. I'm sorry, Sandor Clegane, but you should be my foil today. ”

The words just fell!

The trumpeter, at Robert's signal, blew the horn for the final.

The "Hound Dog" didn't even say a word of nonsense, and immediately urged the war horse to charge.

For some reason, he seemed to be extra serious today, with a chilling glint in his eyes.

Zhang Cheng, who was on the other side, raised his spear unhurriedly and bowed to the king, queen, prince, and Tyrell in the stands, and only began to charge after his opponent had increased his speed to the limit.

There is no doubt that this naked act of contempt of his completely infuriated the "hounds".

Just as the two were about to collide, Sandor Clegane jerked his spear an inch high, avoiding the shield and striking him directly into the fragile neck.

But it's a pity that Zhang Cheng, who had been prepared, tilted his head and let the tip of the gun rub his shoulder and poke it into the air, while he poked the opponent's chest fiercely.

Syllable!

As the wooden spear broke in response, the "hound" lay on his horse's back in embarrassment, and almost fell.

From the look of disbelief on his face, he knew that he had no idea how a man in heavy armor could perform a difficult dodge on a horse.

Replaced with a new spear, the two began a second round of confrontation.

This time, Zhang Cheng didn't give his opponent another chance to escape, and stabbed Sandor Klegane directly in the right shoulder, destroying his whole body's sense of balance, and falling to the ground with a thud, ending the contest at all levels.

Less than five seconds after the hound fell to the ground, Robert immediately proclaimed, "In the name of the king!

Wow!

All of a sudden, all the audience applauded desperately, and no one paid attention to the "hound" who was the runner-up.

Just when everyone was looking forward to the next celebration, Zhang Cheng unexpectedly turned over and dismounted, helped his opponent up, lowered his voice and said in his ear: "Don't pretend to be very angry, I know that you have a very bad relationship with your brother, so please stop these boring performances." ”

"How do you know I'm acting?" asked Sandor Clegane, too, in a low voice.

"It's very simple, although you are ostensibly aiming at my neck, you are actually a little off, and even if you do hit it, it will not be fatal. Tell me, who instructed you to do this, the vicious queen, or someone else?" Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes at Cersei, whose face was pale.

In his opinion, this short-sighted and ambitious woman in King's Landing could be angry with herself for Jaime's affairs, and thus make some stupid revenge...... For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
