"I'm not exaggerating, you're going to stay in this building tonight, don't go anywhere, call your men to this room to guard the door, those boys in black are good, and I can't guarantee that there isn't a single Slint in this camp." Sir Iron Hand looked over Egger's shoulder, "Deal with the wound quickly, I'll help you deliver a message to Tyrion Lannister now." ”

"He's out of the city now, didn't you just say that it's a felony to send someone out in the middle of the night?" ”

"He's in the Night's Watch Complex, I know. Baivat stood up, lifted his helmet from the table, tucked it in his armpit and walked towards the door: "Such a big thing, I must let your partner know." As for how to send a message - it's a felony to send someone out in the middle of the night, but it's not illegal to throw something outside the wall. I wrote a letter tied to a stone and threw it under the city, and my friend who lived in the harbor outside the wall would naturally pick it up and send it to the Night's Watch Industrial Park. ”

I see, Baivat has been the captain of the rivergate garrison for a long time, and this means will naturally have a relationship, nothing unusual: "Please tell Tyrion not to be rash, and not to bring the security team into King's Landing to make trouble and let the situation expand." ”

"I need to be reminded of this. Sir Iron Hand twisted his prosthetic leg, adjusted it to a comfortable position, and opened the office door: "Heh, I really can't imagine the little devil being so willful. ”

Then you're wrong, Egg smiled bitterly, Tyrion was able to keep his sanity and calm most of the time, but this dwarf still had a temper temper at heart, but his short stature gave him little chance to show it. Like this time, if he hadn't been clamoring for Slint to be dealt with in three days, and his own way of bringing down Slint in a gentler and more subtle way, he might not have pushed himself into danger at all.

Before being involved in the hierarchy of power, King's Landing used to be such a safe place to start, but once it was involved in a power game, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms became so dangerous in an instant.

Status, power and influence are really double-edged.

＊＊＊

Genos Schlint sent someone into the Red Fort quietly to report to Robert that the queen wanted to buy him, and then he sat in the Dongying office, stayed for a long time, and waited for the news of the failure, and was suddenly trembling with anger: "A dozen people, two crossbows, go kill one person! Not only did people run away, but they were actually killed several times, are your friends all pigs!"

Aral Diem lowered his head and whispered, "My lord, it's two...... And according to the survivors, the night watchman's bodyguard skills were also amazing. ”

"Amazing, you girl, don't explain, people who have lost a battle always have a bunch of excuses, am I a fool? Why don't you say that people know magic!" The commander of the garrison slapped the table: "What about that guy now, is he hiding in his home?"

"It is reported...... When he got home, he quickly ran out of his house with his people and moved to the south of the city, and because of the large number of people on the opposite side, my little brothers dared to follow from a distance, but in the end they were lost in the flea nest. As Slint's body shook, Aral shrank in fright, and hurriedly continued: "But a brother from the mud gate has just reported that the night watchman has just entered the garrison of their riverside gate. ”

"Call all the brethren up, and take all the fellows, and go to the river gate to ask for men. ”

Al raised his head and said unexpectedly: "But my lord, didn't you say it yourself that you can't be transferred at will in the past two days?"

"Fool! There was an illegal fight at night in the most upscale residential area in King's Landing, three dead and three wounded, such a big case, I led someone to arrest the murderer, is it called random transfer?" Slynt couldn't wait to slap the guy in front of him, "Go and do it, don't let people run out of the city!" In addition, send the herald to the various battalions in the city to transfer some more brothers over, Jacelyn Baivat from the river gate is my old enemy, and I am afraid that dead temper will not be obedient...... Damn, I wouldn't have left this matter to you if I knew so!"

......

The whole King's Landing was in motion, and the golden-robed men of the eastern camp were dispatched in a rare large force, rushing along the muddy streets towards the muddy gates, while the heralds who set out at the same time rode fast horses and scattered in all directions to the seven gates and three hills, and issued orders to the garrison detachments of the whole city.

People with some sources already know the "inside story" of Slint's imminent downfall, but he is still the highest commander of the capital guard at the moment, and he gives orders on the grounds of "assisting in the arrest of murderers", at least on the surface, the golden robes still have to obey orders.

As a result, hundreds of soldiers of the garrison were called out of their dormitories, dressed up, and rushed out of the camp to the commander's designated assembly point - Linhe Gate.

The garrison was busy in various stations in the city, while at the same time, their colleagues at the river gate had already been equipped under the orders of the captain, closed the camp gate and lowered the latch, and prepared to hold on all night.

......

It was about eight or nine o'clock in the evening when Iger was attacked on his way home, in what Westeros calls "eel time", and after a toss, it was past midnight and the "owl hour" was the early morning of the next day. A large number of golden-robed men with torches in full armor lined up like a fire dragon to the outside of the Linhemen garrison and surrounded the camp.

A soldier jumped off a shelf next to the fence and ran to Iron Hand to report: "Sir Baiwatt, Lord Slint claims outside the door that a murderer who caused a bloody crime is in our camp, and asks us to hand it over and bring it back from the east camp for interrogation and investigation. ”

"How many of them have come?"

"Probably, a hundred. ”

Baivat snorted contemptuously: "Leave him alone, find a reliable brother to guard the two gates, and wait for more people to come." ”

＊＊＊

King's Landing is a city, and the Rivergate is not in the center of the city but at the southernmost point, which results in the length of time it takes for the garrisons to reach the site quite variously: ten minutes from the nearest point, and miles from farther places such as the Gate of the Gods and the Dragon's Gate...... As the minutes passed, a dozen to dozens of garrison soldiers arrived with torches, either on foot or on horseback, and one after another converged into the ranks surrounding the place.

When the number of soldiers outside the garrison of Linhemen exceeded 400, the Slint sent a loud ultimatum: if Jacelyn Baivat did not hand over the prisoners, he would launch an attack and force his way in to take the men.

Knowing that the time was almost up, Jeslin Baiwatt climbed the courtyard wall with a torch and appeared in the sight of his colleagues who surrounded the place.

......

"Brothers!" Standing on the high platform and looking down at the more than 100 soldiers below, Tie Shou spoke: "In the middle of the night, it should have been a time to lie in bed and sleep, because something happened here, causing everyone to rush here in the dark, and I really didn't want to go, but tonight, I really can't make any concessions!"

The soldiers below looked at each other, and the faces of those on duty who were on night duty did not care, they were staying up late anyway, and those who should have been called to rest were full of fatigue, until the next sentence of the captain of the Linhemen detachment drew their attention back: "I want to ask, how many of the brothers who stand here to participate in this assembly can get full military salaries?"

When it comes to money, all come to the spirit. In the King's Landing garrison, all officers who were promoted by Slynt had to pay him half of their salary, and ordinary soldiers, although not so exaggerated, would be deducted at least two or three percent - if the commander who followed him was strong and had a background, then he could deduct less, otherwise he could only consider himself unlucky. This is already a well-known unspoken rule of the golden robe, everyone knows it, but no one has ever dared to raise it in public, and those who make a fuss about this matter are either fucking off or dead...... what happened to Sir "Iron Hand" tonight?

"Jacelyn Baivat!" Slint didn't dare to let him continue, and immediately stepped forward, interrupting the captain of the Linhe Gate garrison standing on the courtyard wall in a loud voice: "Just before midnight, someone fought with a sword in the streets and alleys between the steel gate and the dragon's lair, resulting in three deaths and three injuries, and we now have evidence that this person is in the camp of your Linhe Gate garrison, hurry up and hand him over, don't interrupt those who don't have it!"

"Do you remember Herb and Ban?" Iron Hand ignored Slint at all, but continued to talk to himself, and suppressed his commander with the advantage of a loud voice: "Last year, Prime Minister Jon Arryn found these two brothers to testify when he was investigating the case of one of our superiors buying and selling official positions, embezzlement and bribery, and withholding military salaries. But within two days of the leak of the news, these two brothers were on their way to work and fell to their deaths when one fell on the head and hit a stone, and the other fell into a ditch and drowned!

Is this iron hand crazy, interviewing this in front of so many people? Slint shuddered behind his back, inhaled and yelled: "That was an accident, and the case was closed a long time ago." Jeslyn Baivat, don't talk crazy things over there to divert the conversation! If you don't open the door and hand over the prisoner, I'm going to have someone break the door, get ready!"

"The soldiers of the two garrisons died in such an unknown way, and there is no explanation until now. Baivat quietly gestured to the loyal soldiers behind him, and he continued to shout to the rest of the golden-robed men outside the wall: "And today, another warrior who dares to testify against our chief has appeared, and reported to Prime Minister Ed with his real name, and this person is now in the station behind me, and the commander we are accused of is now making up a lie with no bottom line, forcing me to open the door and hand over this person!"

......

"Wow...... Really fake. ”

"No wonder you dragged us here in the middle of the night to do something. ”

"This is too arrogant, what do you think of us!"

In the uproar and discussion of countless garrison soldiers around him, Slint knew that he had fallen into a trap, and he was now difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to go crazy to the end: "Stop talking!
