PS: Ask for collection! Ask for recommendations

King's Landing is a port city by the sea, named after the Aegon conquest, the conqueror rode a dragon, and the vast fleet landed in Westeros from here, and the emperor descended, which is called King's Landing.

Spring is long gone, and in the story of summer, the sea breeze brings rain clouds, drizzle like smoke, lingering, like dense stitches, hitting the land of King's Landing, the dust is light, and it is saturated by another raindrop, shattering in the air, containing a small patch of gardenia.

Eddard Stark waited with Littlefinger in the Prime Minister's Tower for Du Yu's arrival, but when the door opened, he only waited for his bodyguard, Thomad.

"Tom, what about Earl Malween? Why didn't he come? Ed's eyes froze, and he was stunned for a moment and asked, Du Yu's absence was a bit beyond his expectations.

"My lord, Count Marween said he had an important experiment to do today, so he can't come today." Thomas said respectfully to Eddard Stark.

"A smart fellow." Sitting across the table, Little Finger touched his pretty mustache, dusted off his velvet clothes, and said his opinion with a smile in his eyes.

Ed frowned slightly, a little unhappy in his heart, quite unhappy. In his opinion, Du Yu saw that he had lost his position, saw the wind and steered, and did not have the bearing of an honorary knight for the insult of the oath.

"Lord Baerich, let's go!" Ed immediately decided to ignore this matter for now, he had more important things to investigate, and let Littlefinger lead the way now, and he was about to leave.

"My lord! …… Earl Marween has something I want to bring to you. The guard Tomad hesitated, then spoke hurriedly.

"What's the matter, we'll talk as we go." Eddard Stark continued to walk without looking back, carrying his clan sword "Ice" behind him.

"But...... But," Thomad looked very embarrassed on his face, and when the words came to his lips, he looked hesitantly at his little finger and swallowed back.

"It's not convenient for me to listen, am I? That's nothing, I'll be waiting for you at the intersection ahead, Master Stark. Little Finger showed a just right smile, and left politely, went to the Prime Minister's Tower, turned over his horse, and trotted all the way to the end of the street corner.

"Okay, let's talk about it now." Eddard Stark preconceived that Du Yu's behavior this time was suspected of being a rudder, which was an act of lack of courage and honor, so his face was stiff and his tone was cold, obviously he didn't want to hear it very much.

"My lord, Count Malvern asked me to give this to you." As he spoke, Thomas handed over the soft armor, a silvery white of ice and snow, bright and new, "My lord, Earl Marwyn said that this soft armor is made of wildfire, and it is invulnerable, so it can be used for self-defense." ”

Ed took it in his hand, pulled it hard, extremely flexible, and pulled out Thomat's saber with his backhand, and the sword of "Boom" was swung out suddenly, slashing towards this armor, only to hear the melodious music of "Ding Jingle Bell", and then look at this soft armor is as bright as new, and it is not harmful.

"Good!" Ed blurted out a compliment, and then drew his "ice" cross sword, and Tomad hurriedly stepped forward to stop, "My lord, Count Marwyn said that this thing should not be tested with the Valyrian steel sword, it will wear down the magic contained in the steel in the original sword, which will cause irreversible damage to your clan sword." ”

Hearing what Thomas said, Ed put down the sword in his hand.

"What else did Count Malween say?" Ed accepted this soft armor, and his opinion on Du Yu in his heart was a little smaller, at least it proved that Du Yu did not renounce the oath of honor and dishonesty, maybe he was just not brave enough, Ed thought secretly.

"He has a few more words for me to convey to you." Thomas looked at Eddard, thought for a moment, and said, "He said that he would keep Miss Arya safe no matter what, and said that if it were you, he would no longer live in King's Landing, a city without snow, and the white color of the Icewolf would only wither in the yellow sand when it left the snowfield." ”

"He also said that the most beautiful appearance deceives people's ears and eyes; The treacherous heart must be covered with a false smile. My lord, he stopped talking after saying this. ”

There was a thoughtful look on Eddard's face, which was an obvious admonition, but there was also a provocative meaning in it, the most wonderful appearance, the false smile, everyone in King's Landing greeted with a smile. Ed remembered that the Oriental man rarely spoke to himself, and had never given himself such an obvious opinion.

Could it be that Littlefinger, the first person he suspects is Berish, who has a vendetta with his brother Brandon Stark, and now loves or covets his wife.

However, the quest for truth and facts soon weighed on his heart, and his loyalty and friendship to King Robert made him face the impending danger, and he made his choice after glancing at Littlefinger on his horse under the tower.

"Let's go!" Changing into the soft chain mail sent by Du Yu, putting on his clothes, and hanging a long sword from his waist, Eddard Stark left the Prime Minister's Tower without hesitation.

Du Yu in the room came to the window and looked at the people who were away through the curtain-like rain curtains, "Are you still going, since this is your choice, then so be it." ”

Ed got his wish, he found Robert's other illegitimate daughter, worry, warnings, confusion, exhaustion, and countless emotions hit him.

The rain turned heavier, stinging his eyes and pounding the ground. A black turbid current poured down from the hills, and at that moment Thomas cried out, "My lord! ”

There was alarm in his hoarse voice. In the blink of an eye, the streets were full of soldiers.

They wore ringed armor, iron gloves and knee pads over their fur coats, and wore steel helmets decorated with golden lions, and their rain-soaked capes clinging to their backs. He had no time to count, but there were at least ten, in a line, blocking the way on foot, armed with a sword and a spear.

"Back!" Ed heard Vail shouting, and he turned his horse's head to find more people behind him, cutting off their retreat. Jory's sword slammed out of its sheath. "Death to those who stand in the way!"

"The wolf is howling." The leader of the opposing team said that the rain was running down his face. "It's a pity it's a small group."

Littlefinger rode cautiously forward. "What do you mean by that? This is the King's Prime Minister. ”

"The King's Former Prime Minister." The mud muffled the sound of the hooves of the red horses, and the soldiers in front of them split into two columns, and the golden-helmeted and gold-armored Jaime Lannister roared unruly. "As for now, to be honest, I don't know how old he is."

"Lannister, are you crazy?" Littlefinger said, "Let's get over, it's time for us to go back to the city." What exactly do you want to do? ”

"He knows exactly what he's doing." Ned said calmly, at this time the corners of his mouth were full of bitterness, could it be that the Oriental man had known that this would happen, he touched the soft armor on his body, and looked at Littlefinger, who seemed to be very scared, if before, he might not have doubted whether Littlefinger was also involved, but now he couldn't help but wonder if it was Littlefinger who leaked his whereabouts and attracted the Lannister.

Jaime Lannister smiled, "That's true. I'm looking for my brother. Mistress Stark, do you remember my brother? He was with us when we went to Winterfell. Blonde hair, big and small eyes, sharp tongue, short stature. ”

"I remember it very clearly." Ned replied.

"He seems to be in trouble halfway through. My father was very anxious about this. You don't happen to know who's trying to disadvantage my brother, do you? ”

"Brother Ling was arrested at my behest to be held accountable for his crimes."

Littlefinger groaned in frustration, "Two adults—"

Sir Jaime drew his sword from its sheath and kicked his horse forward. "Draw your sword, Lord Eddard. As much as I would love to kill you like I killed Aerys, I'd rather you die with a weapon in your hand. He glanced coldly and contemptuously at Littlefinger. If you don't want blood on your beautiful clothes, I suggest you leave as soon as possible, Lord Baesh. ”

Little finger doesn't need to be rushed. "I'll go find the Capital Guard." He assured Ned. The soldiers of the Lannister family stood outside, and then reverted to a **** formation. Littlefinger kicked the horse in the belly and disappeared around the corner on the mare.

Ned's men drew their weapons as well, but they were three against twenty. Nearby residents watched secretly from behind doors and windows, and no one intended to interfere. His men all rode horses, and the Lannisters, with the exception of Jaime, were on foot. Charging may be a way out, but Eddard Stark thinks there are safer and safer strategies. "You killed me," he warned the kingkiller. "Tyrion in Catelyn's hands is also in danger."

Jaime Lannister poked Ned in the chest with the gilded sword that had sipped the blood of the last dragonlord. "Will she? The noble Caitlin Tully of Riverrun plotted to kill the defenseless hostages? I think...... She won't. He sighed, "But I don't want to gamble my brother's life with a woman's sense of honor." ”

Jaime unsheathed the golden sword. "In that case, I'm going to have you run and complain to Robert about how I bullied you. I doubt he'll ignore you? Jaime reached out and flicked the wet hair back, turning the horse's head. As he rode past the row of samurai, he glanced back at the captain. "Trigg, don't hurt Lord Stark."

"Yes, my lord."

"But...... I can't let him get away with it, so what," — he vaguely saw Jaime's smile through the night and the rain — "and slaughtered all of his men." ”

"No," Ned roared, and the sword jerked out of its sheath, and the raindrops fell on the spine of the Valyrian steel sword, which was cut in half along the blade, and dripped to the ground, destined to drink blood once more.

The Lannisters were besieged from all sides, and Jory and Thomas rushed forward when they saw their lord draw their swords.

The spear and the sword slashed and cracked, shattering the scattered rain, the yellow dirt splattering and crumbling, the boots, the cloak. Soon, it was no longer raindrops and mud that rolled up in the sword light, but crimson blood and the sound of crying pain, shouting of killing, and the sound of swords entering the body.

The wind and rain were chaotic, the water ripples in the potholes on the ground were sparkling, reflecting the gray sky, and a severed hand was immersed in it, and it was bright red in an instant.
