CHAPTER XLIV
Half an hour later, the Guards escorted the carriage from the Wolf's Den into the center of White Harbor, and the Lannister brothers who were sitting in the carriage heard the sound of horses' hooves on the bluestone slabs slowly stopped, and Tyrion looked out the window to see the tall cavalry staring ahead, standing still.
When the team reached the stone path in the backyard of the Lord's Mansion in White Harbor, the two horsemen turned over and dismounted, and opened the wooden door of the carriage.
"The Guardian is waiting for you in the mansion, come in with me!"
Accompanied by the captain of the cavalry, a man holding the guard's sword at his waist in one hand came to the carriage and said to the two men.
Tyrion got out of the carriage and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure this was not a beheading execution ground.
"Hello, it's Lynn...... Did the Guardian personally invite us?"
"Of course, Lannisters. The guards of the lord's mansion responded succinctly, then stopped speaking, and led the two of them into the courtyard through the back door, and escorted the accompanying knights out of the door.
The two Lannister brothers glanced at each other strangely, and followed suit.
Lynn met with the Little Devil and the Monarch Killer under the Covered Bridge Pavilion in the backyard of the mansion.
Seeing a tall and a short figure walking slowly under the escort of the guards, Han Niu carefully reminded Lynn, who was talking to someone in the pavilion in a low voice, "My lord, someone is here." ”
Lynn looked away from the direction facing the pavilion, stood up, turned her head to look at the visitor with a smile, and greeted, "My guest has finally arrived." ”
Jaime looked at Lynn's harmless smile, and deeply knew how hypocritical it was hidden under that smiling face, although greeting was originally a form of polite hypocrisy, but a guy who had been imprisoned by Lynn for nearly half a year was always inevitably full of resentment.
Looking at Jaime the Monarch Slayer's facial features like carvings, and the angular face no longer had the aristocratic demeanor of the past, the corners of Lynn's mouth grinned a little bigger.
Compared to Jaime, the little devil is much more up, people are under the eaves, he knows that as a prisoner, a low profile will help to get out of trouble, the corners of Tyrion's mouth are lightly raised, he stopped ten steps away from Lynn, and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Lynn." ”
"Ha, Lord Tyrion, I'm glad too, I haven't found the right person to play against for a long time since the last game, do I need another game? ”
The little devil was alert, "Is there a condition?"
Lynn laughed, her body shaking, "I'm willing to gamble again if you want." ”
"No," Tyrion shook his head into a rattle, "no need. ”
Seeing Lynn's laughter trembling, Jaime glanced at the surrounding White Harbor guards, and then at a sturdy guard wearing fully plated armor beside Lynn, and couldn't help but say, "I'm interested in having a fight with Your Excellency, I don't know if Your Excellency agrees." ”
Lynn said disappreciatively, "The Imperial Guard Jaime also plays chess?"
"No, I asked for a sword competition, I won, let us go. You've won......"
Jaime said this, only to realize that he only had a prison uniform on his body, and there was no gambling money to offer.
Lynn looked at James, this guy was locked up for half a year and still had a sense of arrogance in his stomach, Lynn was disdainful, and he also had a restrained smile on his face, and said lightly: "My swordsmanship is not satisfactory, but I have a few friends around me who can fight, but, if my people win, what should you do?"
"Kill me. Jaime stared into Lynn's eyes, braced up a momentum, and said decisively, ignoring Tyrion's crazy hints beside him.
Lynn looked at the little demon Tyrion, and then at Jaime, "You are my prisoners, I can execute you at any time, no doubt, I can find ten thousand reasons, but after all, you are the heirs of Duke Tywin, one is Barristan canonized as a knight of the Imperial Guard, and the other has served as the prime minister of the Seven Kingdoms, I am still a hero and do not like to kill so much." ”
Jaime the Kingkiller pressed in, "Are you afraid?"
Lynn shook her head and motioned for one of the guards to throw the sword to him, "No, you misunderstood, I accept this gamble because I have enough confidence in my own guards, but I will not execute you after you are defeated, and you must promise me one condition, with your family, with your knightly glory as evidence, to do one thing for me." ”
Jaime took the long sword handed to him by one of the guards, the blade was pitted, and there were blood spots on the sword body that could not be scrubbed clean, such an ordinary squire sword, but it made Jaime's heart beat wildly after being silent for half a year.
As a famous knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the Imperial Iron Guard, Jaime's swordsmanship has always been respected by the world, but Lynn's personal guards are all of a lonely reputation, holding the long sword Jaime's tip and finally pointing diagonally forward, he shrugged at Lynn, showing a long-lost confident smile.
"Come on, the opponent is the big guy next to him, right?"
"No, my guards are only responsible for my safety. Lynn smiled indifferently, then reached out and patted his palm lightly, and shouted to the pavilion behind him: "Arya, Tywin, you have no chance to retaliate, but I can arrange another Lannister to vent your anger, be careful, don't kill him, he has to do something for me." ”
As soon as Lynn's words fell, two figures slowly walked out of the pavilion behind him,
A woman is as delicate as a flower and wears a lady's long dress, and a budding girl's clothes are very old and worn, but her face is calm and clean.
It was Margaery Tyrion and Arya Stark who arrived in White Harbor shortly after arriving in King's Landing.
Jaime and Tyrion recognized the two, and their faces couldn't help but change, while Arya ignored the expressions of the two, she walked straight to Lynn, looked at Jaime Lannister in front of him, and said, "You killed Bran who was disabled and lost his memory, you were on my death list, but I killed Cersei's demon queen with my own hands, so your sins can be washed away in half." ”
Jaime's face was gloomy to the extreme, "You killed Cersei?"
Erya's face was as usual, and she hid three daggers on her body, one in her boots, one in her sleeve, and a scabbard she hid behind her back.
As long as she has these weapons in hand, she has unparalleled self-confidence.
The second girl looked at the monarch killer James with a blank face and said, "That's right, I killed her in the Red Keep with my own hands. ”
Arya's narrative is sharp and cold.
Jaime's expression froze on his face, his eyes fell on the girl in front of him, and his memory was suddenly pulled back to years ago.
As Robert Baratheon's guard, he accompanied King Robert and Queen Cersei to Winterfell to meet Eddard Stark, the guardian of the North, during that trip to the North.
The second son of Eddard Stark, the guardian of the North, Bran accidentally broke the adultery between Queen Cersei and her brother Sir Jaime Lannister while climbing the walls. In a panic, Bran is caught by Jaime the Kingkiller, who pushes him out of the window with the intention of killing him to avoid revealing his secret incestuous acts.
But Bran survived and fell into a prolonged coma.
The matter is investigated, and Jaime has nothing to explain, and at this moment, the heart of the monarch is occupied by the sadness caused by the death of her sister and lover Cersei.
Jaime's eyes were bloodshot, and he watched Arya slowly raise his sword, "Little girl, it doesn't matter if you kill me or not, but I won't show mercy in this duel." ”
