Chapter 125: The Conflict Between Robert and Eddard

In the battle of the Trident River in the Great Empire, the rebels completely destroyed the living force of the royalist army, and more than 10,000 kings were killed under the pursuit of the Stark family, and nearly 20,000 people were taken prisoner.

This means that no one can stop the rebels from heading straight for King's Landing!

Since Robert was injured in the duel with Rhaeggar, he could only stay in the back carriage, cursing the bumpy road while calling out "oo

Just hours after the Lannisters' army arrived, the coalition forces arrived at King's Landing.

When everyone came to King's Landing, they did not encounter the bloody battle they imagined. This is the royal capital of the Targaryen family for hundreds of years!

Shouldn't the retreating Dorne army be stationed here? Or shouldn't the "Mad King" organize forces to resist to the death?

But King's Landing looked like a carnival sleepless night, filled with the screams of women and the sound of ping-pong bells breaking things, and the whole city was lit up by fire, and the Red Keep was like a tourist attraction illuminated by countless bright lights at night in the future.

Those soldiers from the north were stunned when they saw this (qíng) scene, and they almost said, "It's worthy of being from the city, and you can play!" If you don't sleep all night and party all night, you are losing! ”

However, as the rebels approached King's Landing, they found that it was not the night they had imagined, as the sounds from the city were not like carnivals, but rather like someone was burning and looting.

In particular, there are a few rooms that are burning, and even if it is a carnival, I am afraid that no one will burn their houses to play, right? And (ròu) can be seen as many puffs of smoke rising into the sky.

Previously, due to the cover of the night, the smoke was inconspicuous. (So the ancient beacon tower lit the beacon fire at night and released wolf smoke during the day)

Only then did Han Xing realize that the brightness of the Red Fort was very abnormal, there were no strong lights in this era, and only flames could produce such an effect.

When they arrived at the Red Fort, they were surprised to find corpses all over the ground, most of them soldiers led by the king, and those corpses were lying crooked in front of the Red Fort, and some of the blood (shēn) had coagulated and blackened; Some of the (shēn) blood still exudes residual warmth, and the Red Keep has clearly experienced a vicious fight.

And the battle probably lasted for almost several hours, and judging by the corpse that still had its warmth, the battle was probably just over.

Feathered arrows stuck in the red walls, half-tattered gates swayed in the breeze, ropes of drawbridges were cut with sharp weapons, and scorch marks were left on the ground and walls.

When they arrived at the throne room, they were surprised to find a blonde man wearing the armor of the Kingsguard sitting on the Iron Throne. He rests his right foot on the Iron Throne and sways leisurely on his other leg, his helmet taken off and placed on his right hand.

He had long wavy blond hair, blue eyes, a handsome face, and a tall (shēn) material, with a hint of ruffianism, and looked at Ed and the others as if he were the master of the Iron Throne.

But he wasn't, in fact, the true owner of the Iron Throne was lying at his feet with angry eyes, silently protesting against his despicable actions with those dead eyes.

He lay in a pool of blood that had not yet dried, and his silver hair, which was already dry and messy like straw, scattered to the ground, the ends of which were soaked in blood and turned a dark red.

The proud young man on the throne fiddled with a gorgeous blood-stained saber in his hand, and he watched playfully at the people who were walking (bī) below, while wiping the blood from the saber in his hand with the white cloak behind his back.

Needless to say, I also know that he is now the veritable "Kingkiller" James? Lannister. Jaime shifted his pì strands, trying to make himself more comfortable on the throne, in fact, it only made him appear more arrogant.

The reason why he was able to sit so comfortably in this unfriendly chair was largely because he (shēn) was wearing armor, which was the fundamental reason why he could switch between sitting postures at will.

Then he pointed to the corpse of the "Mad King" who had fallen in a pool of blood and was dead with a sword in his back, and said, "Welcome! My allies! Look, I've got that damn madman out for you! ”

There was no imaginary cheer ringing in his ears, and the faces of the northern knights led by Ed were as black as the bottom of a pot, as if they were holding back their anger (qíng) after being robbed of someone's head by their teammates in the game. Ed even glanced at Jaime on the throne with a cold gaze? Lannister, it's like watching a clown jumping off a beam.

Ed looked at Jaime with angry eyes? Lannister sat lazily on a throne that didn't belong to him, and wiped the blood from his sword with the white cloak on his back, which symbolized the shēn of the Kingsguard.

To Ed, who values honor and chivalry, Jaime's every action is like a provocation to him.

Wearing the armor that symbolizes the Kingsguard, but killing the king you swore allegiance to protect, is the first sin.

Rubbing the sword with a white cloak that symbolizes the shēn of the Imperial Guard is the second sin.

It is the third sin to sit on the Iron Throne, which only kings are qualified to sit.

Jimmy? What the Lannisters did was simply an insult to honor and chivalry Ben (shēn)! Wu (qíng) trampled on his oath, dressed as a symbol of the king's personal guards, but committed a great act of killing the king and trespassing, and sat on the throne shamelessly.

In Ed's opinion, of course the "Mad King" wants to kill, but he doesn't kill like this, he wants to tell the world about his crimes, and after clearing the wrongs of his father and brother, he will be punished canonically.

In fact, Jaime is not as unbearable as Ed imagined, although he is indeed the "Mad King" who was killed from behind, which is indeed not glorious. (Sneaking up from behind is not allowed by chivalry)

However, in a way, Jaime actually saved the lives of most of the people present, because even if he killed the "Mad King", this caused the "wildfire bomb" planted by the "Mad King" to not be detonated, which indirectly saved the entire city of King's Landing.

Therefore, Han Xing actually didn't have much ill feeling towards James, after all, as a Celestial Empire, Han Xing was far less important than Europeans to any chivalry, a sense of honor, and aristocratic blood, and even the killing of kings was not a big deal in the Celestial Empire.

It's a pity that Ed will never understand Jaime's distress! For he had drawn his saber from his waist and pointed it at Jaime's throat. This had a knock-on effect, as Ed was the commander of the rebels, so the knights of the North after him (shēn) drew their swords. Han Xing had no choice but to sigh and pull out the "broken heart".

A hint of surprise flashed in James' eyes, and in his opinion, "I finally killed the 'Mad King' and avenged your father and eldest brother, but I didn't get a word of thanks, but you still had to point my sword at me!" ”

From the bottom of his heart, Jaime is a cynical person, which also has to do with his home education. Tywin doesn't teach him anything about loyalty and honor, it's more about scheming and unscrupulousness!

But he was clearly a lame student, and he learned nothing from his father except being arrogant and unsightly. This also leads to the fact that he does not have the reverence of ordinary people for royal power, which is why he dares to "kill the king".

"Get down! This is not where you should sit, 'Monarch Slayer'! Ed said in his usual cold tone, as the blade moved a few centimeters closer to Jaime's neck, almost touching his skin.

The knights of the North immediately followed suit, "Monarch Killer! Despicable villain! "Monarchicide! ! "Now James, the king-killer's nickname, is a real hammer!

Jaime stretched out two fingers and grabbed the tip of Eddard's sword and moved him a few centimeters to the left, then shrugged helplessly and said, "If you let me get up, I'll get up!" Then he picked up his helmet and put away his sword.

Then he said to Ed with a bit of banter, "Let's welcome His Majesty Ed I from House Stark to the throne!" With that, he made a noble salute, and then made a gesture of invitation to Ed.

Ed's heart is even more disgusted with this brazen "monarch killer", he is not interested in this Iron Throne, he participated in the rebellion for the purpose of revenge, and the second is to support his friend Robert.

His idea is actually good, his (xìng) character is not suitable for being a king at all, and letting him be a king will only make him worse than Robert. You didn't see that he had only been working for a month with the "Hand of the King", so he left his head, didn't he?

Ed glanced at him and said, "The Iron Throne belongs to Robert I of House Baratheon!" Is he Lei Lei? Princess Targaryen's grandson, Aegon? Great-grandson of King V of Targaryen. ”

Jaime felt unusually groaned, he had never seen a man like Ed in his life, and in his opinion, if he had so many supporters, he would definitely sit on it and make the whole of Westeros submit to his feet.

Eventually, Robert didn't arrive until the next day. He admired Jaime very much, and in his opinion, James personally made the "Mad King" and handed over his name, which eliminated his hatred for him.

Moreover, the Lannisters' abandonment of darkness and light played a decisive role in this war, so Robert just laughed at the fact that Jaime was sitting on the Iron Throne, "Maybe he just wants to warm my chair for me!" "And let Jaime continue to serve as the Kingsguard.

This made Ed feel unusually depressed, and he didn't like this "monarch killer" at all. He just endured it silently.

However, in the end, this "powder keg" was detonated, and the fuse was that Princess Elia of Dorne was killed by the "magic mountain" (jiān) first, and his two children were brutally murdered.

Ed comes to Robert and asks him to bring the "Magic Mountain" to justice and justice.

But Robert said, "I don't see any poor children!" All I saw were the sons of the dragon! From Robert's point of view, this is indeed understandable, he is "hating the house and the black", and his monstrous hatred for Rhaegar can be described as an endless stream of water like the Yangtze River.

Ed was stunned to see Robert say this, and then left with a sad face on his face, as if mourning the death of his friend.

This was the first time Ed and Robert had a disagreement over the disposition of a member of House Targaryen, and the second was when Ed played a strike, throwing the "Hand of the King" badge in front of Robert and refusing to send an assassin to assassinate Daenerys.
