"Sir Selmy. "Egger had a friendship with the White Knight, and when he saw him appear, he took the initiative to say hello.

Ed also nodded at the comer: "Barristan, everything is done?"

......

Yesterday received the news that Cersei was planning a rebellion, Ed and Robert were rushed to the Lannisters in advance, the matter is very important, in the case of not being able to determine which side the important ministers and nobles living in the Red Keep are on, Ed chose the most direct and effective way to eliminate the hidden danger - before dawn sent someone to restrict the actions of all the guests in the Red Keep and their attendant servants, and ordered them not to leave the room today.

When the chaos is over, everything is over, and those who do not find problems with the investigation can be freed, while those who have the Lannister label or are found to have colluded with them will face direct arrest or dismissal. The Seven Kingdoms can't afford to toss, and this attack on the queen's family must be resolved quickly and in a one-size-fits-all manner.

The task was carried out by Barristan Selmi, and the source of manpower was to call in the Stormlands soldiers of the Red Keep in the name of the king - not only to prevent the queen's possible lackeys from helping her rebel or escape, but also to prevent the possibility of Ranley Baratheon, the king's brother, coveting the Iron Throne and causing trouble.

......

"That's it. Barristan approached Ed and whispered worriedly, "But Robert did not listen to me, and insisted on going and questioning the queen in person before proceeding, and giving her a chance to confess his crimes. ”

"Confess the crime, didn't I say that everything will be said after the garrison enters the Red Keep, Robert is a fool himself and wants to take others for fools!" Ed said in annoyance, and even raised his voice a lot, "Did he bring everyone with him?" ”

"Bring it all. Barristan replied, "Aside from that, what's going on with you here, when will the garrison arrive?"

"Just bring it all, the garrison should be almost there. "Let Robert do it, anyway, as soon as the gold-robed men drive into the Red Keep, the whole situation will be settled," Ed said to Nunu, the cage in the carriage, "Look, Mormont has sent me something interesting." ”

As the captain of the Kingsguard turned his gaze to the carriage, Egg suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: Jaqun had been in the black prison for several months because he had been caught in the royal library, and he had been careless enough to bring the Faceless One into the Red Keep and let the two of them meet together.

"A madman?" Barristan glanced at the cage, two more wrinkles on his forehead, "What's so interesting about that?"

"Look at this again. ”

The captain of the Iron Guard turned his head again, but fortunately Jaqun returned the severed hand to Eddard's guards in time, and his appearance and clothing had changed a lot, and he was mixed in a pile of black clothes, which did not attract Barristan's attention.

Barristan looked at the severed arm, then turned his head to look at the "man" in the cage, and finally noticed the abnormality: the "madman" in the cage had his arm cut off, but no blood spurted out of the wound, and he even threw himself on the edge of the cage like a mad to attack everyone, if this is nothing...... The energetic grasping action of the severed hand is really weird and indescribable.

"What the hell is this?" the old guard subconsciously touched the hilt of his sword.

"It doesn't matter what the hell it is. Ed said with a calm face, "Importantly, Mormont told me that this thing is now in the north of the Great Wall of Desperation, thousands of them, everywhere. ”

"This—" Barristan's face flashed with surprise, and he understood what it meant, as a Northerner, this matter was probably not as important to Ed as it was to the Lannisters. "But my lord, let the night watchmen wait a little while for the Great Wall not to fall, and we can finish what we are doing first, and then we can discuss what to do with this. ”

"Of course I understand the severity, but my guards are all sent out to guard the gates of the Red Keep, and if you run to Cersei's side, that woman will go crazy, won't she give the king and prime minister a chance......?" As for the situation of the Wrai, apart from the different ways of dealing with them, what is the difference between them and the ghouls?"

Iger finally had a say in the matter, and he was the first to speak, and began to explain the difference between the elite henchmen of the cold god and the cannon fodder.

Barristan stood still for a few seconds, realizing that Ed was indeed safer for the garrison to arrive. But the captain of the Iron Guard should be with the king, and this is his duty...... figured out the key, and immediately turned around and walked in the direction of Mei Ge Lou.

At this moment, the neat footsteps of soldiers trotting in the direction of the main entrance of the Red Fort finally came, and after a few moments, Jory Kesso appeared in view. The newly appointed Acting Garrison Commander put on a golden cloak to make it easier for the novice subordinates who had never known each other to identify him, and led the brigade of golden robes to run over from the direction of the entrance, panting, and stopped in front of Ed in a dark golden color: "My lord, according to your orders, I have brought over most of the soldiers of the Iron Gate, Aegon High Hill, and Linhe Gate garrison, including me, a total of three hundred and forty-six people. ”

The leaders of the three garrisons stood up: "Lord Eddard, the garrison is waiting for your dispatch!"

"Well, it came at the right time. "It's actually a lot slower than Ed expected, but it's not the fault of the few people in front of him. If it weren't for the bastard Genos Slint who came to the crucial last night, the garrison wouldn't have been delayed so long. Originally, he was going to wait until the Lannisters were finished before dealing with him...... What a mistake to think about it now. Slint's fool's account will be settled later: "Friends of the Night's Watch, please wait here for a while, and I'll take care of some other things first." ”

Seeing this battle, the members of the ghoul escort team who didn't know the truth thought that Ed was trying to usurp the throne, so how dare they have an opinion, so they just nodded and agreed, and watched the prime minister lead the garrison to the Meg Tower in the center of the Red Fort.

Jaime leaned back at the last moment of the sword break to dodge the direct blow of the hammer, and finally had no way to retreat, and sat down on the ground with his back against the wall.

If he was in the jousting arena, he could dodge left and right or roll away, trying to get other weapons to continue the fight, but in this room, facing Robert, who was heavily armed and armed with a long hammer, the victory was already divided.

(Defeated, defeated in the life-and-death battle where he should have been concentrated, but constantly distracted; defeated in dealing with a Robert, who was not weaker than himself, still wanted to capture the prisoner alive...... Maybe deep down, he was even more defeated by that senseless sense of honor, and in the face of the object of the oath to protect, he couldn't exert his full strength anyway. ）

"Ho...... Monarch Slayer, it seems that your sword has a greater sense of honor than you, and you know that you are fighting the king who has been guarded by oath. Robert gasped, and the fight drained all his strength. With a smug grin, he approached Jaime step by step: "You didn't play to your full strength, but a trial is a trial, and there is no second chance." Now, I, King of the Andals, the Roynards, the Lords of the Seven Kingdoms and the Guardian of the Lands, Robert I of the House of Baratheon, hereby condemn you to death!"

Robert was smiling but still gritting his teeth, and after the verdict was announced, he slowly raised the hammer, intending to deliver the final blow to his opponent.

Although his body was not fatally wounded, but with only half a sword in his hand, and his back against the wall, Jaime had nowhere to escape, and he didn't want to struggle anymore, he closed his eyes.

"No—"

"Your Majesty beware!"

With Cersei's screams and the exclamations of the two Kingsguards, and the sound of a vessel shattering, the deadly hammer did not come down for a long time, but Robert let out an annoyed snort, and Jaime reopened his eyes to find that his executioner had turned away, the armor on his back was all water-stained, and the ground was covered in liquids and debris—at the last minute, Cersei smashed Robert with a water bottle.

A drop of liquid splashed on the Kingkiller's face, and he suddenly woke up: what are you doing, closing your eyes and waiting to die?

Jaime woke up from a dream, and his consciousness suppressed the murmuring in his heart. Thinking back to the whole battle, Jaime felt as if he was possessed by something, as if he was stunned, he was no longer exactly himself, but was disturbed by some mysterious force that influenced his judgment and behavior, and he couldn't help but think wildly, and executed the wrong tactics in a daze......

It felt familiar, having experienced a brief moment of trance before he had had an affair with Cersei in Winterfell and scared the Stark children out of the castle a few months ago. That time, this state almost revealed the affair between him and Cersei, and this time, it almost killed him!

Before he had time to think about what he had just done, Robert had already turned around, grabbed Cersei's neck with his left hand, and lifted her feet off the ground as if she were hanging her with his arms: "You woman, you really don't know whether to live or die! I, in the name of the king, hereby declare that you will be stripped of your status as queen and sentenced to death!"

(Robert, you idiot, can't you kill me before you deal with Cersei.) Jaime had been ready for the king's sentence a moment ago, but he just couldn't watch someone hurt his lover in front of him. He no longer thought about how it would end, threw away his sword, drew the dagger at his waist, held the ground with the pain, and bounced up from the corner of the wall to stab Robert.
