Chapter 208: Lying Gun
Everything she thought was a conspiracy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info conspiracy is either out of ambition, or out of greed, or out of love, but the fundamental reason for conspiracy is that it works so well. Lady Caitlin Stark was misled by the conspiracy and saw Tyrion as the villain who led the assassination of her children. Now that he has been recognized, the plan to secretly return to the North has failed. The little devil is known for his ugliness, but he also has a brilliant mind that matches his ugliness. It didn't take long for him to deduce the real reason for his secret return from King's Landing. She was even able to extrapolate the time period of her covert operations in the capital based on distance. Immediately afterward, the Lannisters will be able to expand their advantage according to these adjustment plans. Whether out of motherhood or justice, she could not remain indifferent now. Her husband is in King's Landing, and for their safety, she has to hold a Lannister family hostage, and Tyrion happens to be the best choice.
She stood up calmly and looked around the room, her eyes sweeping over the insignia of the Knights, Knights of Oaths, and Freelancers in the room. She recognized the badges and knew the masters to whom they belonged. Riverland is her hometown, and her father, Hofs Tully, the current head of the family. She is the princess of the land, and she is the eldest princess.
"The last time I stayed here, it was Caitlin from the Tullys. Her voice was steady, powerful, and with a majesty that could not be denied. Under the pale blue eyes, everyone's attention was attracted to her. "The gentleman sitting in the corner, your coat is embroidered with a black bat from Harrenhal?"
The man quickly stood up, bowed, and replied, "Yes, ma'am." ”
"My father is Horst Tully of Riverrun, and I dare to ask if Lady Ha'an is his loyal ally?"
"Of course she is. The man replied firmly.
Sir Rodric the Whitebeard stood silently, his round body leaning behind Lady Stark. Slowly, firmly, he drew his sword, glaring into the gnome's eyes. Tyrion hadn't figured out what was going on, so he blinked blankly. He never imagined that he was framed and blamed for a "murder plot".
Catelyn was well-informed and recognized the innkeepers one by one, either his father's old men or knights in the service of his subordinate lords. Although the Riverlands was a land of four wars, sandwiched between the northern, eastern, and western borders and the capital city of King's Landing, Horst Tully was a formidable statesman and ruler, with some of the best domestic and diplomatic skills in Westeros. The lords, knights, and people here loved him and were willing to serve him. So, when Caitlin pinpointed out the closeness of their family, their lords, and her father, they all agreed and were willing to serve her.
Perhaps only the Freys of the Twin Rivers are dissatisfied. Wald Frey lived a long life and had many children, but he was always overly cautious. More than ten years ago, during the crucial battle to support the new king, he deliberately delayed his arrival on the battlefield because of wait-and-see, and only after the victory was decided, he was ridiculed by Hofs Tully as "Frey the Late", and his reputation plummeted. Frey has held a grudge against this incident for the rest of his life, and has shown dissatisfaction in various appearances. Catelyn wasn't sure if the gray-and-blue men at the inn, the Frey's knights, would help her. There were ten of these knights, and they were a significant force in this place.
"I'm also familiar with the symbol of the twin towers of Frey's house, Mr. Sir, I wonder how your master is doing lately?"
This group of people is probably not even a formal knight, at best "knights of oaths", that is, knights who have sworn allegiance, but have not yet received a share of the land. If the official knight is a company member with dividends, then the oath knight can only be regarded as a company employee who has just become a regular employee. As for the title of knight, it is purely a compliment. How can there be any knight among these people?
However, their leader was flattered, stood up and hurriedly said, "Madam, Lord Wald, he is very good. He planned to marry his new wife on his ninetieth birthday, hoping to be fortunate enough to have Lord Lingzun present to grace him. ”
Even though he was surrounded by tall knights, the diminutive Tyrion still laughed secretly. Wald Frey claims that one person can give birth to an army, more than a dozen sons and daughters, nearly 100 grandchildren, and the fourth generation is also in the midst of vigorous expansion. It's a pity that it's an army of idiots and even more stupid idiots.
Caitlyn heard this laughter, and she also noticed that the people in the Frey family on the other side also heard this laughter, and her brow furrowed, obviously not very happy. Now she was sure that the situation was under control, and she pointed her hand at Tyrion and said aloud: "This man has come to my house as a guest, and has shared my bread, salt, and fire, but has intended to murder my seven-year-old son! ”
All of a sudden, more than a dozen long swords were unsheathed in unison, and the white light flashed together. Tyrion's mouth opened slightly, her expression of astonishment thrilled.
"Madam, I think this must be a misunderstanding, I have no intention of harming your son. I have deep sympathy for what happened to Bran. Oh yes, I've come from Winterfell, and I've met lovely Bran, and I've been received by your eldest son, Ropo. They all look great, and you should be proud of them. I also gave Bran a special saddle, which I had tried to make him sit high on his horse. Oh, he's happy!"
Hearing the latest news about the child made Caitlin excited. But the news came not from the messenger, but from the mouth of this hateful little devil! This murderer and conspirator was with his own children again! Did they suffer another injury, and this situation could not continue!
"Arrest him, knights, and I ask for your help!"
Tyrion Lannister's two servants were already stupefied, and they sat on the ground trembling. The night watchman dressed in black, everyone ignored him, because this group of men guarding the desperate Great Wall never participated in any political incident. However, the Night's Watch was all skilled, so a few knights kept an eye on him in case something unforeseen might happen.
There are not many people still sitting in the chair, but Zhao Mai is one of them. In line with the psychology of watching the excitement and not thinking too much, he was finally able to watch this wonderful scene up close. It has to be said that Mrs. Stark is quite convincing, and in just a few words, she has gained enough allies to learn her father's aura and skills. Tyrion was about to use his tried and tested money trick, but Rodric took his wallet and completely lost the chance to turn the tables.
Among those who stood up and raised their swords was Boron, and the expression on his face was as enthusiastic as that of the other knights, but the motive was not the same. When Zhao Mai looked from below, Bo Long pouted, and then quickly changed back to a serious and loyal face. Zhao Mai understood that he was interested in the name of Mrs. Stark, and hoped that he could attract the attention of the real nobles through this operation, so as to get ahead.
A cloth bag was draped over Tyrion's head, and his little short hands were tied. In doing so, Sir Rodric worked very hard, the rope tightly wrapped around his skin, as if the little devil were a master swordsman. After finishing, he stood up and pointed at Zhao Mai: "Madam, we should bring him with us." ”
"I, why?" Zhao Mai was stunned. I've been lying down, why am I still getting shot? I didn't provoke anyone and I ate a meal, and I could fall into the pit?
"Yes, you're in the service of the Lannisters, and it's too dangerous to keep you here. "Madam," said Rodric, "we can't take this risk. ”
"Hey, old man, are you causing trouble for your wife, do you know?" Zhao Mai shook his head lightly and said, "If I want, I can fight all the way out from here, and few people can still stand intact." ”
"Oh, is it?" said Sir Rodric, laughing, drawing his sword from its scabbard, and holding it firmly, "I don't believe it. ”
Zhao Mai's fingers had already touched the obsidian of the hidden bracelet, and he could draw the hunter's blood spear at any time. But if you do that, the impact on the world will be too great. After carefully weighing it, Zhao Mai felt that the risk was too great, the benefits were too small, and it was not a joke if he touched the will of the world. "Okay, I'll go with you, but don't think I'm scared of you. ”
Maybe they've heard it too much, maybe they're just stupid, and laughter is rippling through the room.
The corners of Bolon's mouth were raised, but he didn't laugh out loud. Although he felt that what the young man with his bare hands said was not true, he did not see a trace of panic in his eyes. He was able to tell the difference between being confident and being. Besides, the young man had gold, but he didn't have many, so there was no need to offend him.
The group packed up their things and began to prepare for the north, Zhao Mai's carriage caught everyone's attention, and Rodric suggested that Caitlin get in the car, so that it could at least be more comfortable. "If you do that, you're going to turn your master into a real robber. Zhao Mai was not stingy with his ridicule at all: "No matter what reason you say, forcing a person against his will is kidnapping." ”
"That's right!" said Tyrion, with his head covered in his bag, but also in a loud voice, "Mrs. Stark, is it because of the lack of travel expenses? Just take my wallet, I'll only consume food and be a burden, so let me go." ”
The resolute woman replied, "It is the law of the king that has seized you, the justice to be judged by murderers and conspirators." We are not robbers, much less robbers. This carriage does not belong to us, and we will not do the same to the knights and knights who serve us, nor to our fellow travelers. Sir Rodric, we need to hit the road as soon as possible. ”
The gray-blue dressed knight of the Frey family walked over, bowed, and said, "Madam, if you go north, you will pass through Twin River City, and my lord will definitely entertain you warmly, just send a messenger." Whether it's a carriage or a guard, there will be. ”
Caitlin immediately agreed, and expressed her heartfelt gratitude. She was so grateful that she sent all the Frey's knights out to make the way north and inform their master, and even brought a warm letter.
After getting rid of the Freys, they turned a corner and took the road to the east. (To be continued.) )
