19 The weird Jia Kun
A large-scale tragedy occurred in the morning at the Dragon Gate in the northeast corner of King's Landing, when Yulun, the night watchman who had come to King's Landing to recruit new soldiers, was hacked to death by the sudden golden robes. A few of his new recruits also died, and most of them took advantage of the chaos to escape.
It is said that it was because the raven Yulun committed a crime in the city, so he was executed. However, this statement is not very reliable, but the speculation that the new king Joffrey does not like the Blackshirts has won people's hearts.
There are also speculations that Yuren was ordered to be hacked to death by angry Littlefinger for not giving money, or that he insulted the identity of the eight-clawed spider Varys as a eunuch after a drunken time, and then was hated by the ruthless chief eunuch and finally took revenge on Yunyun, and there are other nonsense speculations......
In short, there was a lot of discussion among the people in the neighborhood, but none of them got to the point - the prisoners of the Red Fort Prison escaped from prison, and it is impossible for the official to tell the truth to ordinary people.
However, they did not know the truth of the matter, but they knew everything about what happened and what happened afterward, so after paying 10 copper plates, Charles came to a morgue under the guidance of passers-by.
"No one understands why the golden robes didn't clean them up, I heard that it was because of the order from above, strange, why did the top order leave this pile of corpses?"
The leader muttered to himself, but didn't take it seriously, and when Charles had enough money to spare, he couldn't wait to leave the bloody courtyard.
"What are you doing with a bunch of dead people?"
Seeing Charles enter the courtyard, Arya, who was following behind her buttocks, asked curiously.
"If I told you that it was possible for this dead man to cheat the corpse, would you believe it or not?"
"I don't believe it."
"Well, I'm not sure either." Charles said as he walked to a prisoner cart parked in the corner of the courtyard.
There were three prisoners in the car, and Charles had spoken to them in the morning, but he was so disgusted by the fierce appearance of two of them that he didn't say a word.
However, he was more impressed by the only one of the three who was not fierce, and the purpose of his coming here was also because of this.
From the outside, it seems that the three of them are covering each other and have been stabbed into a hornet's nest by spears, but thinking about the memories of the past episode, Charles is very skeptical that the three of them are really deadβor is the long-haired man who is now being pressed under the two fat men fake his death?
So he found a stick and pushed the top two prisoners away, revealing the slightly thin one below.
"Hey, are you still alive?"
The stick stabbed the long-haired man's long white and red hair.
There was no sound, but Charles looked closely, but he didn't find any injuries on his body.
And the Eye of True Knowing proves his guess.
[This is a person who faked his death in a special way, and his blood is still flowing slowly]
"Looks like he's really dead, but it's a pity." Sighing softly, Charles said to himself, "But his clothes look pretty good, maybe I can rip them off and sell them for some money?" β
"What money can a dead man's clothes sell?" Arya asked ignorantly.
"At least for the bread you ate in the morning." Charles replied, and the girl immediately grabbed a stick and joined the group of people who were playing with the "dead's" clothes.
At first, there was no movement, and the man inside seemed to be really dead, but as the two lifted half of his clothes, the guy "couldn't sit still", and pretended to cough, and he gasped and raised his head.
"He's really cheated on the corpse!" Arya was surprised by this, and she looked at Charles, only to find that the creature, who had always been very unserious, looked more serious at this time.
"Do you need us to release you?" He asked.
"Someone's friends are very good, but they don't mind one or two more." The person inside gasped in response, but he saw the face of the person who came, so he raised his eyebrows.
"The boy's name is Cranston?"
Arya thought he was speaking strangely. However, Charles didn't care about these side effects: "Your name is Jia Kun? Yoren once said that you are very strong, and even broke into the Red Keep? β
He didn't speak, but the weird Jia Kun looked at him with interest.
Charles took a deep breath and said, "It must be uncomfortable to stay in a cage for so long. Do something for me, and I'll promise to let you out. β
His tone was uncertain, because he felt that this kind of thing was not very reliable, as long as this guy was released, he couldn't control it if he couldn't do it, but now there was no other way but to put his hope on the other person's character - or the reaction shown in the original book.
This is not a Westeros man, and Charles doesn't remember exactly who he is, but he is a top-level assassin, and his disguise skills are very good, and he is also relatively mysterious.
In the original book, the girl Arya released him from the cage, and then he helped the girl a lot, so now Charles wants to take a gamble - if he can help, then Charles's plan to rescue Ed has a chance to be implemented.
"A moment of kindness may lead to more gains." Regarding his words, Jia Kun said meaningfully. Didn't say yes, didn't say no.
But Charles understood what he was trying to say, so he shook his head and said, "If they are all dying, no amount of gain will be bullshit." β
After that, he asked again, "Will you help?" If you don't help, we'll find another way. Wait and see, maybe someone will come to save you soon, or wait for those golden robes? β
That being said, Charles is not so hard in his heart.
Although he has a golden finger and can spell, it is much more powerful for many people.
But in the face of this kind of assassin who showed top-notch assassination methods in the original book, Charles still has self-knowledge. So he thinks that even if this "deal" fails, try not to annoy the other party.
After looking at each other quietly for a moment, Jia Kun nodded.
"Okay, boy, let's do it."
His reaction relieved Charles, and he tried not to wonder if he would really do such a thing after he was released, and he immediately asked, "Can you kidnap the king?" β
Jia Kun shook his head slightly: "This is the call of the Red God, but someone feels that the time has not come." β
"What does he mean by that?" Arya pulled the corner of Razal's coat and asked in a whisper.
"It means he doesn't want to die." Charles glanced at her and replied, then looked back at the man in the cage, "Alright then, can you get the king's hair?" It doesn't take much, just a wisp. β
"The Lord of the Seven Kingdoms' blonde hair is dazzling and enviable," Jia Kun put his hands on the iron railing, quietly looking at Charles: "The boy used it as a collection?" β
"Used to use curses." Charles said seriously. However, Jakun apparently didn't believe it: "The boy is not from Quells, and he is not from the Shadowlands. β
Charles didn't answer, but found a stone on the ground not far away, and slammed the lock of the iron cage open.
Seeing this, Jia Kun didn't ask any more, and after getting out, he stretched out, looked at Charles, and then looked at the sloppy little ghost beside him. He tilted his head and said, "After the third bell of the church, see you at the iron-spiked shoemaker shop in Hook Lane." β
With that, he tidied up his clothes and slowly left the sight of the two.
Charles breathed a sigh of relief.
Watching his back leave, Arya asked, "Can Joffrey's hair save my father?" β
"Joffrey's hair can't." Charles replied.
"And what about the redhead?"
"He may or may not be able to."
"And how do you save my father?"
"You'll find out later." As he spoke, Charles glanced down at her, "You'd better pray that your enemies won't rush to judge your father, and at least leave me a day to spare, otherwise I really can't do anything." β
Arya blinked inexplicably.
"What are we going to do next?"
"Wait."
"Wait? Waiting for him to bring back his hair? β
"That's right." Charles nodded. Secretly: "There is still time for me to run out." β
