Queen Mother Cersei's room is heard of a heated argument between her and Tyrion over Princess Mysella's marriage.

Chen Zhong, who was guarding the door, was bored watching the royal garden, and a beautiful girl of thirteen or fourteen years old in a gorgeous long dress walked over.

The girl smiled sweetly and said in a crisp voice, "You are my brother Tyrion's most trusted Mendo?" I heard that you are not only knighted, but also the commander of the capital garrison? ”

Chen Zhong noticed that the girl's golden curls and turquoise eyes were exactly the same as Cersei's, and asked tentatively, "You are the Queen Mother's sister Sarina. Miss Lannister? ”

"Yes, but I don't like people to call me the Queen Mother's sister, just call me Sarina, I have a few shops in the city, and Commander Mendo can come and sit when he is free."

"Oh? I didn't expect Miss Sarina to be a member of the Golden Lion family, and she started doing business at a young age, I don't know what kind of business you do? ”

"What do you think is the most lucrative industry in the world?"

Chen Zhong thought about it for a while and said, "Food, clothing, housing, transportation, killers, prostitutes? I'm sorry, Miss Sarina, I'm not very savvy with business. ”

Shalina chuckled, "You're too modest, you've guessed right, I have two brothels in the city, and business is pretty good." ”

Chen Zhong looked at this girl with some surprise, he really didn't expect that the young daughter of the Lannister family was actually in the brothel business.

It seemed that Sarina had gotten used to the surprised expressions of others, "Do you know the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Petyr? Because he was born in a dilapidated family on the Five Fingers Peninsula, many people looked down on him at first, and some nobles contemptuously called him Littlefinger, but he relied on his business acumen to provide all the needs of the nobles, and gradually rose to become the finance minister of the Seven Kingdoms, and now more than half of the high-end brothels on Silk Street are his. ”

"The Chancellor of the Exchequer and beauties like you are running brothels, and it seems that I should also go and find out how to make money."

A hint of coquettishness appeared on Sarina's innocent face, and she flicked Chen Zhong's neck with the silk handkerchief in her hand, "In the future, my brothel will want Commander Mendo to take care of it more, you can ask me if you have any requirements, women, gold or"

Fortunately, Tyrion ended the quarrel with Cersei and walked out, and Chen Zhong hurriedly took the opportunity to politely talk to Sharina. Lannister takes his leave.

Chen Chong felt that this girl was not simple, she opened a brothel at the age of fourteen, and planned to use money and beauty to win over herself, and it happened that her brother was by his side, so he asked, "What kind of person is your sister Sarina?" ”

"To be honest, the only thing I can't see through in the Lannister family is this sister. My sister Cersei has loved two men, Prince Rhaegar and my brother Jaime, and now she loves her three children the most, and of course she has hated me since I was a child. My brother Jaime took good care of me, he was a knight who still had honor in his heart, but my father also knew a little about the education of us children, and at his father's request, Jaime killed the former king Elise, who had sworn allegiance, and was discredited by the world as the 'Kingkiller', and Jaime lost his faith in his heart. As for Sarina, she has always behaved very smart and lovely, and she is welcomed and appreciated by everyone, I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. ”

Hearing Tyrion's words, Chen Chong became wary of this girl, there is no perfect person in the world, and a person without flaws can only be disguised.

Chen Zhong asked Tyrion, who was standing side by side with him, "Your quarrel with the Queen Mother is over, which version of the news does she know?" ”

Tyrion smiled, "It's not the eunuch and the brothel owner, it's the learned old fellow who has snitched." Do you know where he is? ”

"The golden robe in charge of surveillance reports that a prostitute has just walked into the mansion of the university scholar, and we may interrupt the old guy's daily activities if we go now."

"Haha, I'm interested in interrupting other people's good deeds."

When the two arrived at the residence of the scholar Paiselle, the guards kicked open the door and found the usually trembling old man lying on the bed, with a prostitute writhing violently on his body.

Tyrion sat in a chair next to him, watching with interest as Pischel panicked.

Red. Naked Paisel was grabbed by the shoulders by two guards, and his voice was filled with fear, "Lord Tyrion, I have always been your loyal servant, why are you doing this?" ”

Tyrion smiled at the prostitute who was hiding to the side, turned his head and replied, "Scholar, don't insult the word loyalty, okay?" As soon as I told you about the secret plan, you told the Queen Mother in the blink of an eye, what kind of loyalty do people like you talk about. ”

Paisher calmed down for a moment and tried to explain, "I swear someone must have told the Queen Mother, I think it was the eunuch or Littlefinger who leaked the secret. ”

"I told the eunuch Wallis to marry the princess to the Iron Islands, and to tell Princess Littlefinger to marry to the Eagle's Nest, and only to tell you was the Martell family. Well, I don't like those who betray me, and according to my father's teachings, you should stick your head on a spear. ”

Chen Zhong walked up to Pysir, holding the standard spear of the Lannister guard in one hand and the simple spear of a golden-robed soldier in the other, and asked Tyrion, "Lord Hand of the King, which spear do you think is more suitable?" ”

Paisher fell to her knees in terror and begged for mercy, "Lord Tyrion, I have always been loyal to the Lannisters, and I defected to your father's side during the reign of the Mad King."

Tyrion didn't bother to look at the old fellow's pitiful appearance, "Drag him to a black cell and lock him up, I don't like the guy who betrayed the hands of two kings." ”

After the guards took the weeping and wailing bachelor away, Tyrion said to Chen Chong, "Tomorrow's royal council will have one less of my sister's people, you are the commander of the garrison, come with me tomorrow." The current situation is very bad, and I hope we don't die in this city. ”

Chen Zhong came to the garrison barracks in Shoemaker Square, and a golden-robed captain saw the commander arrive, and hurriedly came over to report his merits, "My lord, the former commander ordered us to capture the illegitimate son of the previous king, and we found him in a team of prisoners outside the city who went to the Great Wall, but he was killed in the process of resisting, and I took back all the prisoners who harbored the prisoners. ”

"Oh, good job, take me to see it."

Coming to the cell where the prisoners were being held, Chen Zhong looked at the prisoners who had been captured, most of them were thieves or other people who had broken the law, no one in the Black Castle built on the Great Wall needed these people to replenish the Night's Watch legion, and in the light of the torches, Chen Zhong found several suspicious people.

He took out two gold dragon coins and rewarded them to the captain, and told them to choose a few attendants among them and let them all go out, and after the soldiers were gone, Chen Zhong came to the short child, took out a handkerchief and wiped the stains on the child's face a few times, and whispered in the child's ear with a smile: "You are Arya. Miss Stark? ”

Arya, who was wearing a boy's clothes after her long hair was cut short, didn't know where the person in front of her recognized herself, and quickly denied it: "I'm not the person you said, I'm a thief in King's Landing." ”

Chen Zhong stood up and untied the rope that bound her, and said to her, "I still lack an attendant, and the treatment is definitely better than here, come with me." ”

Arya looked at the dark and damp cell with a foul smell, and silently followed behind Chen Chong.

Back at the Prime Minister's Tower, Chen Chong took out some food and handed it to Arya, who had been hungry for several days, and the little girl, who had long been attracted by the aroma of food, began to eat it in large gulps.

Looking at Arya, Chen Zhong said softly: "Rob has done a good job in the north, he declared independence and proclaimed himself the king of the north, and now he is fighting with the army of the Lannister family with the warriors of the north, you don't have to worry, if he wins, I will send you back, if he fails, I will take you to live on the other side of the Narrow Sea." ”

Sensing that the man in front of her had no ill will towards her, Arya took a large sip of water and washed down the food in her mouth, and asked suspiciously, "Everyone in King's Landing wants to capture me, why do you want to protect me?" ”

Chen Zhong thought of his wife on the other side of the narrow sea, and said gently: "Because your father didn't attack a lonely girl even if he lost his position, how could I hurt his daughter?" ”
