Chapter 0264 - Turning Hands into Clouds

Standing on the third step in the middle, the Grand Steward shouted, "Greetings to the King of the Andals, the Roynars, and the Ancestors, the Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and the Guardian of the Land, His Majesty Joffrey I of the Baratheon and Lannisters." ”

Ed stood motionless, as did the four important ministers beside him.

Ed looked coldly at the boy on the Iron Throne opposite.

Sixteen years ago, he rode into the throne hall with the warriors of the North, and the Iron Throne was the child's father, Jaime Lannister. The Kingkiller's golden sword was stained with blood, and the body of the Mad King Aerys lay beside him. With his elbow brached on his arrogant chin, Ed and Jaime looked at each other, and eventually, Jaime stood up from the Iron Throne and smiled, "Northerners, don't be nervous, I'm just going to warm Robert's seat first." ”

Today's children, however, are fearless: "Kneel, submit to me, and swear allegiance to me, or I will kill you all." With a wave of the boy's hand, he included all those under the steps.

Ed took out the king's will from his bosom and handed it to Varys, who was the Minister of Intelligence: "Lord Varys, please show the king's will to the queen." ”

Varys took the will and stepped forward cautiously, but the five Kingsguard did not get out of the way until the queen spoke, and the side did not give way to a road, and Varys stepped forward and handed the king's will to the queen.

The queen took it, didn't bother to look at it, and with a hissing sound, tore the king's will in half, and tore it in half again, and the king's will became four pieces.

The queen's actions caused Barristan to exclaim in disbelief.

The king's will is a token of the same effect as the law, and no one can tear up the king's will, which is equivalent to tearing up the law.

Queen Cersei looked coldly at Ed, who was also dumbfounded, and said, "It's just a piece of paper, what's so beautiful." Sir Barristan, Duke Eddard, the royal ministers, the new king is on the Iron Throne, and the will of the former king is no longer important. ”

"According to the will of the first king, I am the regent, the guardian of the whole territory, and the general manager of all the affairs of the kingdom, Joffrey is not qualified to inherit the throne, and the one who really has the right to inherit the throne is Stannis Baratheon. ”

"What is this northern hillbilly talking about? He said I had no inheritance, and I should have his head cut off ten or eight times just for him. The boy's face flushed, and he stood up and yelled at Ed.

Cersei was furious: "Ed, you're killing yourself. For the sake of the advice you gave me last time, I will give you a suggestion now, kneel down and submit, and issue a decree to the Seven Kingdoms, declaring Joffrey the rightful heir and king of the kingdom, and I will spare you from death, and let you return to that cold gray wasteland to die for the rest of your life. ”

Ed sneered: "Is the child born to you and Jaime ** also worthy of the throne?"

Joffrey jerked back to look at his mother.

Cersei sneered, "Sir Barristan, in the name of the former queen and queen, I order you to take down Lord Eddard Stark immediately, he intends to rebel and want to seize the throne while my son is still young. ”

Barristan Sermi looked at Ed, and Ed said in a deep voice, "Sir, you are the one who has read the king's will. ”

Barristan pressed the hilt of his sword with his hand, and he hesitated, and the sword could not be drawn. Whether Joffrey was born to Cersei and James** is not sure.

Ed is also empty words!

But Barristan believes in Ed's character, but here the character needs to be added strong evidence.

But Barristan's hand was on the hilt of the sword, which was absolutely threatening, and the eight guards beside Ed did not dare to slack off, and immediately stepped forward and aimed their long swords at Barristan, and the first three northern guards were Thomas and Wally. Kane. Their three swords were aimed at Barristan's vital point.

The boy on the Iron Throne was furious: "The Iron Guards, the Hounds, and the Golden-robed Ones, kill all these traitors for me." ”

Boom!

The five Kingsguard swords were unsheathed and stepped forward simultaneously.

The northern guards immediately divided five guards and stepped forward to face the enemy.

The Hound unsheathed his sword and jumped down the steps of the Iron Throne, and the twenty red-robed men behind him shouted and snatched their swords downward.

Ed hurriedly shouted: "Commander Genos Shlint, I order you to take down the queen and Joffrey, as well as the other two children, do not harm them, imprison them in the royal bedroom, and send people to wait day and night." ”

Genos immediately put on his helmet and shouted: "Capital garrison, battle queue." ”

The hundred golden-robed men lined up under the long window had eight-foot-long spears in their hands, and they shouted loudly, lowered their spears at the same time, and quickly gathered around Ed and the others.

As soon as the hound saw that all the garrisons of the capital were dispatched, he immediately stopped and shouted, "Battle queue." ”

So, twenty golden-robed men gathered around the hounds and lined up in battle formation, and they continued to press forward with neat steps.

The five Kingsguard confronted the five Northern Guards, their captain Barristan was held up by three swords, and the captain of the Northern Guard, Thomad, threatened the Kingsguard with Barristan to kill him if he moved, which made them dare not act rashly.

Ed saw that the garrison of the capital city came up together and suppressed the position, he knew that the victory was in his hands, and shouted: "Cersei, tell your people to lay down their weapons......"

Burst!

With a clear and brutal thud, a spear pierced the body of Thomad, the captain of the Northern Guard who threatened Barrisstan, from behind, stabbing in the back, revealing the front chest, the tip of the spear protruding from Thomad's chest, stained with red blood.

Thomas let go of his sword, but before it hit the ground, the man was dead.

Boom!

Genos Slint's longsword slashed at Wally's neck, and the blade slashed into the armor and embedded in the neck, causing Wally to spun half of his body and fell.

The situation was critical, Kane let go of Barristan, turned around and slashed, the sword light was like a match, forcing back a few spears, he rushed forward to slash vertically, the movement was swift, like flowing water, no one was invincible, and he was about to rush out of the array of golden robes, a person rushed over, a long sword whistled and cut down, the first sword cut off Kane's right hand, and the second sword even cut Kane's neck and chest together, Kane fell down and fell into a pool of blood.

The man who killed Kane was none other than the Hound Dog.

The other five northern guards were attacked by five royal guards and several spears, and in the blink of an eye, the long swords slashed through their bodies, and the spears pierced their bodies, and they died cleanly. The five northern guards were killed without even a single hair of the enemy.

Ed was dumbfounded, like a clay wood carving, unbelievable!

Varys stood beside the queen and watched all this condescendingly, his expression shocked.

Littlefinger and the Great Master Sent Hill stood by Eddard's side, and no one dared to move.

"Don't take down Eddard Stark who is trying to usurp the throne?!" Cersei coldly ordered.

A cold knife rested on Ed's neck, and a familiar voice smiled narrowly, "Lord Eddard, I told you not to believe me. ”

Several spears and swords were pressed against Eddard's body.

Scholar Paisher walked away tremblingly, and no one hurt or hindered him, whether it was a golden robe or a red robe.

Eddard's heart was cold, and his mind suddenly remembered the words that the Magic Mountain had warned him: Winter is coming, Lord Eddard, go back to the north, your target is in the north, if you stay and insist on investigating the cause of Jon Arryn's death, all your people will die, a tragic death.

"Kill him!" cried the boy Joffrey, with a flutter of eyebrows.

Cersei said gently: "Your Majesty, he is the father of your fiancΓ©e, he is unkind, we must not be unjust, put him in the dungeon first, and wait for His Majesty's coronation ceremony before we can judge him for his crimes." ”

Joffrey said stupidly, "Take the traitor down, and wait until after my coronation before cutting off his head." ”

Cersei shouted, "Who wants to lead the soldiers to the Prime Minister's Tower, kill all the traitors' servants, and capture the two Miss Stark." ”

"No!" Eddard was furious, but he couldn't move, his sword and spear pressed against his body, his head forced back by Littlefinger's knife.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, Your Majesty the King, please give me twenty soldiers of the garrison, and I will go to the Prime Minister's Tower to kill all the traitors and slaves, and capture two Miss Stark. The Kingsguard Malintlan said loudly.

"Your Majesty, Lord Eddard is guilty, but not as guilty as his wife and children, not to mention that those servants can't know about Lord Eddard. They are innocent. ”

Cersei sneered: "Sir Barristan, in the game of thrones, no one is truly innocent. ”

"Shut up, you coward. Joffrey exclaimed, "If it weren't for your old man's white robe, I'd have cut off your head right now." ”

Barristan Sermi's face turned pale.

Malintlan was given twenty golden robes, and he led the squad straight to the Prime Minister's Tower.

Ed couldn't do anything and couldn't move, and the words of the magic mountain rang in his mind again: Winter is coming...... Go back to the North...... Otherwise, all your people will die because of you, and die a miserable death...... The Magic Mountain warned me, but I never heard it...... Sansa ...... Arya...... No......

"Left. Right. Above. Above. Under. Above. Left. ”

In a series of directional words, accompanied by the crackling sound of wooden swords, a muffled sound was heard, and Arya's right chest was hit by a sword, which hurt her heart and lungs, and she couldn't breathe for several heartbeats.

"The girl died. The dance teacher said with a grin, and with a sword, he knocked out the wooden sword in Arya's hand.

"You cheat. Arya breathed a sigh of relief, "You shouted left, but you attacked my right." ”

"The girl is dead, don't quibble. "The dance teacher had two swords in one hand, his name was Celeofriel, and he claimed to be the chief swordsman of Braavos Sea King, and he had been doing it for nine years. Of course, no one knows if the words of this wandering samurai are true.

"If you don't cheat, I'll be able to block it all. Arya was not convinced, she knew that by tomorrow her chest would be bruised. But it doesn't matter, Silio has said that every injury in training only makes her stronger.

"Sit down, it's class time. Silio touched his little black beard and laughed, "If you only listen with your ears, you will be deceived, you will have to see with your eyes." ”

"My eyes are on you all the time. Arya said.

"No, not with your eyes, but with your heart, look with your heart. My shouts will deceive you, but my body movements, my eyes, and the sword in my hand will not deceive you, you must learn to perceive the truth with your heart. Sit down, listen to me, how to look at ...... with your heart"

"Yes!" Arya sat down like a kitten, listening carefully to the teacher's trick of 'seeing the truth with her heart'.

After the class time, the dance teacher threw the wooden sword to Arya again, and began to carry out the actual combat training of 'Insight into the truth with heart', crackling and I came and went, Arya's sword almost hit her teacher's wrist, which made her proud for a while, but the next moment, her wooden sword was shot down, and the teacher's wooden sword was against her throat.

"You're dead again, girl!" said Silio smirked, "I did that on purpose, girl, look with your heart and think with your brain, many good things are traps." Swordsmanship is the same as life, and many swordsmanship moves are also hypocrites. ”

Outside the door, there was a sound of footsteps, and a tall white-robed general in full armor led several golden-robed men to appear in this small courtyard, which was an abandoned small courtyard, and there were many roads connecting this courtyard.

Arya dances every day with her dance teacher in this quiet and remote place.

"Arya, we were sent by your father to pick you up, come with us!" The white-robed general led by the royal guard Malintlan was none other than the Kingsguard.

"I don't know you!" said Arya, warily, "what about Thomat, what about Wally, and if they can't leave, Father will send Kane over." ”

"They have something to do in the throne hall, and the Prime Minister has specially ordered me to pick you up. With a wave of his hand, the two guards immediately stepped forward to grab Arya.

Smack!

Two crisp wooden sword strikes, and the two guards were stabbed in the face and fell in response.

The figure flashed, and Cyrio stood in front of Arya, the wooden sword in his hand raised diagonally, his left backhand behind his back. Leaning sideways against the enemy, in a graceful posture: "Girl, go quickly, go to your father." ”

"No!" Arya also raised the sword in her hand, the same posture as the teacher, "A true swordsman will never escape." ”

This is the swordsman code that the teacher taught Arya. Arya, on the other hand, said it with a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude.

"That's a good point, girl, but you're not a swordsman yet, so get out of here!" the dance teacher narrowed his eyes.

"It's none of your business, little man. "I'll spare your life, get out!"

"No, no, big man, a true swordsman never escapes, haven't you heard this swordsman code?"

Malintlan was furious, and with a wave of his hand, several golden-robed men swooped up, waving their long swords, slashing horizontally and vertically. The dance teacher pushed Arya away, and fought back while retreating, as long as he counterattacked, every blow would hit the enemy's vital point, either the wrist, the face, or the shinbone, the instep, several heartbeats, and several golden robes all fell to the ground, moaning in pain.

"If the girl doesn't leave, I'm going to scold your mother. "Don't interfere with my swordsmanship here, girl, go!"

Arya, armed with her wooden sword, called out to the teacher, turned and ran.

Malintrian cursed viciously, put down his mask, and strode up with his two-handed sword in hand, and Silio stabbed Malintlan with several swords in succession, all of which were stabbed on Malintlan's body, but the heavy helmet covered Malintlan's whole body, like a turtle shell. Malintlan approached Silio and slashed hard with his two-handed sword, which was blocked in the dodge, and the wooden sword was cut in two.
