Chapter 27: Alleyway Fighting
"That's what he told you?" Ed frowned, his expression slightly tired.
At this morning's Imperial Council, Prime Minister Ed and King Robert had a big fight over whether to eradicate the Targaryen dragon's poison, but they were eventually removed from the post of prime minister.
"Yes, Her Royal Highness the Queen also approached me before the eunuch and promised me the promise of nobility and fiefdom, but I refused." Zoro said with a narrowed eye.
Hearing this, Ed looked at him deeply, and suddenly asked, "Do you think what the Octopus Spider said is credible?" ”
"King's Landing is a breeding ground for liars and conspirators, who sometimes tell the truth and sometimes the falsehood, and it doesn't matter if it's true or not. As long as you have enough power, the lie will ultimately be determined by the sword. Zoro smiled and said.
Eddard frowned, Zoro's words made him have to admit that he was too lucky to come to King's Landing this time, once the sword soldiers were mobilized, only thirty guards could not resist the Lannister family who were eyeing him, and his best friend Robert, who had high hopes for him, disappointed him greatly.
"Let's go back to Winterfell and leave at once." Duke Ed said categorically.
Unfortunately, his decision was destined to be the death of Littlefinger's visit, and after a brief exchange, Ed decided to postpone his trip to meet the last person Jon Arryn had seen before he fell ill.
Jon Arryn was a former Prime Minister and Duke Eddard Stark's closest person, but he died unexpectedly in the prime minister's office, and Eddard has always suspected that his death was related to the Lannisters.
"Find Sansa and Arya for me, and if nothing happens, we'll leave King's Landing tonight." Before leaving, Duke Ed said solemnly to Zoro.
Unfortunately, what Lord Eddard didn't know was that because of a scheming act of revenge, Mrs. Stark openly kidnapped Tyrion, the little demon of the Lannisters, on the King's Road, which caused the anger of Jaime of the Lannisters, who was sharpening his knife and preparing to teach him an unforgettable lesson.
Tonight, they are not destined to go.
"If you don't mind." Zoro replied, "Please let me go with you, I haven't been to the ** ...... yet"
"Your Excellency, if you are happy to see him...... Please tell him how beautiful his daughter is. "The girl is very young, and she is already a mother of a child when she is just a loli.
"I will." Ed promised that although the other party was just a lowly **, the baby girl she was holding in her arms was an illegitimate daughter with the blood of the king, a little cutie with soft black hair.
"Thank you, sir. Please tell him that I have no other people, and that I swear by the name of the new gods and the old gods. I don't want gold and silver jewelry, I just want his people. The king has always been nice to me, really. ”
"Kid, I'll tell him." Ed asked her, "Jon Arryn came to you, what is the matter?" ”
"My lord, he's not that kind of person, he's a decent man. He just wants to know if the child is happy and healthy. The girl said hurriedly.
"Yes, you're right." Ed muttered, mildly, "The child is healthy, and this girl will never worry about food and clothing." ”
Ed left under the girl's grateful gaze.
"Why did Jon Arryn suddenly become interested in the King's concubines?" On the way out, Duke Ed was puzzled by this, and perhaps by figuring out the secrets, he could find out the true cause of Jon Arryn's death.
"Perhaps the Prime Minister wants to see if the bastards are of our Majesty's species, lest the crown of his head turn green." He was shocked when he heard Sir Sauron next to him say what seemed to be inadvertent.
"Let's go." Duke Ed can't wait to go back to the Prime Minister's Tower to find out what happened.
"It's rare to come **, but when you encounter this kind of thing, is it the same fate as two unlucky Yangzhou Shuanglong." The Duke heard Sir Sauron say something incomprehensible, and then in the blink of an eye, the streets were full of guards.
They wore leather armor, iron gloves and knee pads, and steel helmets adorned with golden lions, at least twenty of them, lined up in a row, blocking their way on foot, armed with swords and iron spears.
"Just a few wolves! Oh, and our champion knights. The monarch slayer rode a white horse and said arrogantly.
Zoro raised his eyelids, unlike Ed and Jory and the others who looked nervous, his performance was indifferent, as if he didn't care about being surrounded at all.
"Don't be rude, this is the king's prime minister." Jory shouted.
"The King's Former Prime Minister." The Lion of Lannister slouched unruly, "As for now, it's just a lord in a remote area. ”
"Lannister, what do you mean by that?" Littlefinger tried to negotiate with the other party, but was warned to stay away from the area, otherwise his safety would not be guaranteed, so he had to look apologetically at Ed and go to the capital guards.
"I'm looking for my brother, as far as I know, he was detained by Madame Zun for no reason, I wonder if you know about it?" The monarch killer's eyes were cold, and he asked lightly.
"Brother Ling was arrested on my orders to take responsibility for his crimes......" Ed said coldly.
"Very good! Worthy of the integrity of Master Stark! "Of course, for the sake of my brother's life, I will not harm you, but as punishment, your men's lives will be kept!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, two terrible screams rang out at the same time, but two Lannister guards fell to the ground, clutching their blood-spattered throats and dying.
"That's a lot of nonsense." Sauron shook the blood off his sword, yawned, and said, "If you want to do it, please do it as soon as possible, I have to go back to sleep." ”
Everyone is messy in the wind, it seems that the Lannisters are looking for trouble with Stark, why did you do it first without saying a word.
However, at the moment when everyone was stunned, a silver sword light flashed like lightning, and although the guards had subconsciously raised their swords to block the grid, they were still vigorously picked up by Zoro and plunged straight into his heart.
"Phew!" Blood gushed like a fountain, and the guards' eyes glared angrily, their faces distorted, and they were killed instantly.
Zoro drew his sword, kicked over the corpse, and sneered, "It's seventeen to five, are you sure you can still keep us, Lord Jaime?" ”
"Kill them all except Duke Stark." The monarch's face was extremely gloomy, and he shouted loudly.
"Boom!" The clashing of swords and the sound of metal colliding were extremely harsh, and everyone engaged in a fierce confrontation in the narrow alleyway.
Zoro took the path of opening and closing, one person blocked the other five people, the swordsmanship seemed to be concise and clear, but it was fast and fast to the extreme, the power of all was terrifying, and every time the sword was released, it could take a life.
In just a few breaths, he forcibly killed two more guards, and all he paid was two shallow scars on his arms.
The two Lannister guards looked at each other and withdrew from the besieging Stark, their spears stabbing coldly at Sauron's back, a slight sound of breaking through the air and a seemingly unintentional movement of Sauron's footsteps dodging the two spears stabbing from behind.
"Buzz!" The blade trembled, like the ripples of a stone falling in a pool of water, and the long sword vibrated at an extremely high frequency and swept through the waists and abdomen of the two guards, slicing through the breastplate's defenses as if nothing was visible, and swept it lightly.
At the same time, Sauron made a light turn and leap, dodging three staggered swords, and with a single sword, he sliced off the arms of the soldiers in the front row, along with their heads.
landed, only then did the two guards in the back row collapse to the ground, one wailed while trying to stuff the internal organs that had slipped to the ground back into the stomach that had been split into two halves, and the other "poofed" and fell to the ground in half, it turned out that the sword actually cut him in half, and the internal organs and intestines fell to the ground, and he did not die for a while, and the terrible screams made the back of the neck of everyone on the field cold.
The disgusting smell of blood permeated everywhere, and even if everyone present was the elite of the battlefield, they couldn't help but be terrified at this moment, this terrible man killed five more people in a short period of time, and together with the three people killed before, he alone killed eight people.
At this time, although the Lannister soldiers managed to kill two Starks, they also paid the price of three lives.
"It's nine to three now, oh, and I forgot to include you, the king-killer, that's ten to three." Zoro grinned, revealing his white teeth.
Although the number is still at a disadvantage, the current situation is that the Lannisters are hesitant, they have been killed by Sauron, they have seen more people kill more than him, but they have never seen such an efficient one, and they themselves have only suffered a few skin wounds.
"I'll deal with him." Seeing that the soldiers on his side were almost demoralized, the monarch killer pulled out his gilded sword, which had sipped the blood of the last dragon king, and said with a gloomy face......
By the time the capital guards arrived late, they saw dark red blood, entrails, and corpses, most of which were wearing the golden armor symbolized by Lancelot, and Duke Eddard, who had a pierced leg bone and was holding the body of Jory, the head of the guard, in a dejected manner.
"Go save the kingkiller, don't let Sauron ...... Kill him. When the duke saw the comer, he reluctantly confessed, and then fainted.
Everyone in the Capital Guard looked at each other, they heard the news that the Lannisters were besieging Stark, and how they saw it was not quite the same as what they heard.
It didn't take long for Zoro to arrive, he was hit by a sword in the abdomen, although he covered it with his hand, there was still dark red blood seeping out, I saw him throw down the severed arm of the golden armguard, and shrugged his shoulders at the crowd like hell, "Let that guy run, but let him leave some gifts." ”
I heard that Queen Cersei fainted when she saw this amputated arm, and the first thing she woke up was to cry to the king and complain that she would severely punish Sauron, the murderer of her brother.
In response, King Robert rebuked impatiently: "It was your Lannister's brother who led people to trouble the Stark family, and it was twenty-one people who dealt with five people, and he lost the battle and was cut off by someone who had an arm and a face cut off and came to me." ”
It is rumored that the king and his wife have a big fight, and Robert gives Cersei a resounding slap in the face, and he is angry that his best friend was almost killed in King's Landing.
Soon after, the Council announced that Duke Ed would continue to serve as Prime Minister and handle the affairs of the Seven Kingdoms, while King Robert continued to do his business of eating, drinking, and merrymaking.
For all this, Zoro seemed to be not doing his own thing, taking the opportunity to recuperate from his injuries, he was very quiet for a few days, and in his spare time, he was leisurely in the Red Castle ** little Lori Arya......
