Chapter Ninety-Nine

The meaning of these guards' drawn swords can be called colorful. You know, before that, Robert personally agreed to this fair showdown. This is a taboo in Westeros, where knightly culture and dueling culture are prevalent, interfering with duels is a big no-no.

But these guards openly broke the taboo and tried to interfere with the duel. It's not just a matter of ignoring tradition and law. What's more, they didn't take King Robert's words to heart in the slightest, and only looked at Jaime Lannister. This is not surprising. Tywin is scheming, with Cersei secretly assisting. Most of the people around him are actually Lannister's cronies. To put it simply, as long as Tywin wanted to, Robert wouldn't survive that night.

But because Robert has three families behind Baratheon, Stark, and Tully. Dorn and Lannister have a generational blood feud, and Tywin doesn't dare to play hard. He probably wanted to slowly try to kill Robert. Let a child succeed to the throne, and then Cersei will be able to easily control the government. The Seven Kingdoms also fell indirectly into the hands of the Lannisters.

But Robert, though a little dazed from drinking, was not a fool. As soon as the prime minister died, he sensed something was wrong. That's why I came all the way to the north to find my old friends. I want him to go to Beijing, no, it's King's Landing to help. Hence the scene where the king came to the north. In fact, there is also the meaning of Robert building momentum for Ned.

Su Yuan's meaningful eyes really stimulated Robert, and he was furious. The wine glass in his hand was thrown directly over, and it smashed squarely on the head of one of the guards. Smash him to the ground. That's when the guards realized what they had done. They were worried about the young master, and for a while they even forgot their identities on the surface.

"You bastards, how dare you interfere in a duel that I allowed. Come on, drag these guys out for me, and give each of them twenty lashes. Sir Barristan, you personally supervise. ”

A farce is over. Because of Su Yuan's incurrence, the originally inconspicuous banquet still caused some waves, and at the same time had some subtle effects. At least Robert's face had become very unsightly. This can be regarded as a hint given to him by Su Yuan. He didn't really want Robert to die so soon.

Looking at the whole story of Game of Thrones, from a personal point of view, the most capable of being a good king should be Stannis. Baratheon. It was not for nothing that the woman in the red robe thought of him as the reincarnation of Ahai at first. It's a pity that it's not the protagonist, and it's too bad luck.

In addition to him, the other group of scheming masters, each of them is a top expert in Gong Dou, but if he really becomes a king, he will definitely be better than the other. Here are some examples of reality.

Not long after the fight, Su Yuan took the initiative to leave the table. Although Robert was very interested in him, he even wanted him to sit next to him. But Su Yuan didn't have the slightest aristocratic status, so he couldn't sit next to him because of his feelings.

Not long after, Arya also sneaked over.

"Master, you're here today, you're too powerful. I've long been unhappy with that smiling little white face. He dared to provoke my father, who had defeated the Dawn Sword God. That little white face can challenge it. ”

Su Yuan knew the story between Stark and the Dawn Sword God. But there is no need to expose his father's glorious history in front of the little girl. And that glorious history also hides a secret related to the fate of the Seven Kingdoms. Su Yuan didn't plan to talk nonsense at this time.

At the banquet, Robert and Ned were exchanging words in a low voice.

"Tell me the truth, where did you find such a powerful swordsman. I guess Sir Dane back then wasn't as exaggerated as he was. I don't like that kid from Jaime, but I have to admit that he has good swordsmanship. But tonight, I was really eye-opening. Ned, you're really hiding such a powerful character, are you planning to show it off at the tournament? ”

"You know I've never liked that kind of show-off. Grant isn't one of my people. According to his words, it was just an employment relationship between us. I paid him Jinlong, and he was in charge of teaching Arya's swordsmanship. ”

"Wait, you say he's Arya's swordsmanship teacher? Not Rob's, or your two little wolf cubs? ”

"It's just Arya's. He only seems to have his eye on Arya. said that she is a once-in-a-century swordsmanship genius. But he's only been teaching for a few days, and he can't see anything. But his own swordsmanship is indeed unimaginably high. I've never seen anyone so powerful, not even Sir Dane. ”

"It's interesting, it's so interesting. Ned, I'm going to have this guy. You must bring him to King's Landing. It's decided, I must let those rabbit cubs who look at the sky all day long see what a real master is. ”

The banquet lasted three days. Su Yuan couldn't understand this at all. All the drinks spent, all the food wasted, all that adds up to the cost of those three days. Able to make all the beggars in Winterfell survive this winter. But none of the people who attended the banquet were surprised by this. It can only be said that the degree of decay of this medieval aristocratic style is incomprehensible.

Caitlin certainly didn't want to see Ned go to King's Landing. But what happened tonight only strengthened Ned's conviction to go. He knew Robert was embattled. For the sake of his good friends, he must go. Adeline knew she couldn't convince Ned, so she was speechless.

The next day, Su Yuan's courtyard welcomed a special guest.

"Ma'am." Su Yuan slightly performed a completely non-standard etiquette, and if he put it in the past, Catelyn would definitely glare at him fiercely, and then leave in a huff. But today, Caitlyn seemed to be patient, and didn't even give the timid Arya a look on the side. You must know that since Arya followed Su Yuan to learn swords, Caitlyn basically didn't give her a good face.

"Mr. Grant, I have something I need to ask you."
