447 Riots

Sansa Stark is woken up by a commotion.

She sat up from the bed in a daze, and saw that her sister Arya had run behind the door, carefully opening a crack and peering out.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know." Arya said, "It's too dark to see anything clearly......"

Sansa climbed out of bed and crept up behind her sister and peered out through the crack in the door.

The night was dark, and the courtyard was pitch black, and it was true that nothing could be seen, only the sound of hurried footsteps outside the courtyard, and the sound of crying and scolding.

Sansa was uneasy, and was about to speak, when the gate of the courtyard was slammed open, and a group of soldiers in golden robes rushed in with torches.

A fierce fear gripped Sansa's throat, making her barely breathable.

Arya was also shocked, but she reacted quickly, immediately closed the door tightly, and then grabbed her sister, who was standing in place like a puppet, and ran into the room.

Sansa came to her senses with infinite fear in her voice:

"Are they here to get us?"

"I don't know." Arya slipped under the bed like a nimble rat and lifted a wooden lid to reveal the dark hole underneath, "Quick! Don't stand there stupidly, hide away! ”

Trembling, Sansa slipped under the bed and hid in the basement with her sister.

In order not to attract attention from the light, the two did not dare to light the candles in the basement, so they could only hug each other in the dark and pray silently.

The wait is unusually long.

It seemed like a century had passed, and the two frightened sisters did not wait for the soldiers who came to search.

Instead, I heard the faint cry of Lady Sataya from above.

The two listened for a while, and then realized that this group of golden-robed guards did not come to arrest the two of them, but to collect food.

"Damn it! We can't let them take away our food! Arya was furious and wanted to climb out.

"Don't go! You want to kill us! Sansa hugged her sister and wouldn't let her out.

"Let go! You idiot! All the food shops outside are closed, and if the food stock is taken away, we will starve to death! ”

"That's better than being spotted by the Lannisters!"

The two sisters froze for a while, and only then did Sansa let go of her hand when the commotion outside subsided.

Arya immediately crawled out of the house.

At this time, the golden-robed guards had already left, and in the courtyard, Shataya's mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.

"Did they take all the food?" Arya asked.

"Yes, all snatched. It is said that King's Landing's food will be distributed uniformly, and in the future, we can only go to the soup kitchen to receive a bowl of porridge every day. ”

"Damn Lannister! Damn the old lion! Arya cursed, "When will Caesar come in!" ”

Sansa hurriedly stepped forward to cover her sister's mouth, for fear that she would continue to talk nonsense.

King's Landing tonight is destined to be a city that never sleeps.

After the return of Duke Tywin, he took over the power as a matter of course and ordered the whole city to be collected and distributed in a unified manner.

In order to prevent the people from resisting, the Red Fort not only dispatched gold-robed guards, but also mobilized tens of thousands of troops to patrol the streets.

This action naturally sparked a lot of resentment and anger, but in the face of a heavily armed army, King's Landing had no choice but to endure.

But there is a limit to patience.

King's Landing has accumulated too much rage today, like an extremely unstable volcano, on the verge of eruption.

At dawn the next day, the Stark sisters dressed up and headed out for the nearest soup kitchen.

There was already an endless queue of King's Landing people waiting for alms.

By the time the two sisters received their share of gruel, it was already past noon.

Tired and hungry, the two quickly drank their share, only to find that not only did they not fill their stomachs, but they were even hungrier.

Arya rolled her eyes and suddenly proposed:

"Let's go to another soup kitchen and line up again!"

"That's ...... All right? Sansa hesitated.

"Why not, they can't remember everyone anyway. Hurry up! ”

Sansa rubbed her flat belly and nodded in agreement with her sister's plan.

The two walked through the Fishermen's Square and along the muddy streets.

It was only as they passed by the high hills of Aegon that they saw that countless filthy and scruffy people had surrounded the red castle that stood at the top of the high hills.

People's eyes were filled with undisguised hatred.

It's a sea of hungry people, a gloomy and depressed tide of rage.

"We want bread!" Someone hissed and shouted.

"Bread! Bread! Bread! "People kept shouting, and the voices were higher and higher.

The majestic Red Fort is like an island in the sea at this moment, even if the iron gate is closed, even if the city wall is high, it is difficult to stop this monstrous anger.

"We want bread!" Arya excitedly joins the crowd, "We want justice!" ”

The more she screamed, the happier she became, and later she began to carry out private work: "Chaos; Len mongrels roll off the Iron Throne! ”

Sansa was frightened and quickly covered her sister's mouth.

Arya ignored it, still shouting, "Long live Your Majesty Caesar!" ”

This sentence has inexplicably received numerous responses.

As a result, a series of long live Caesars resounded through the Red Keep, sounding extremely shocking.

However, it also touched the most sensitive nerves of the Lannisters.

The surrounding guarded army received the order and began to show their weapons and squeeze towards the rioting crowd.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Arya immediately pulled Sansa and ran out.

Fortunately, the two stayed on the outermost side and ran fast, so they were not stopped by the soldiers.

Behind him came the sound of dense arrows breaking through the air, followed by screams and fighting.

Sansa was so frightened that she didn't dare look back.

The mournful sound of trumpets resounded throughout the city, and the streets were filled with panicked and angry people.

For a moment, it was as if the whole King's Landing was boiling.

"Let's go home!" Sansa said hurriedly.

I ran for a while, but I saw my sister suddenly stop again. She was about to urge, but heard Arya point ahead:

"I remember it was a granary."

"Don't go!" Sansa grabbed her sister's arm.

Arya didn't struggle, for she wasn't stupid after all, and the outside of the granary was crowded with hungry and angry people, desperately rushing in to try to grab food.

But at the same time, the army is gathering here, and a bloody massacre is about to begin.

Rushing in at this time, even if you can grab food, I'm afraid you may not be able to leave safely.

"I'll go." Sansa wanted nothing more than to go back.

Arya was not reconciled: "Look again." ”

As he spoke, the surging crowd ahead had become bloody, the frenzied people had rushed into the granary, and the army had stopped exercising restraint and began to kill.

The crowd was easily torn through countless gaps, and the unarmed people were powerless to resist in the face of heavily armed soldiers, swept away and destroyed like dead leaves in a storm.

Blood and screams filled the air, chilling.

Arya was also frightened, and finally stopped being stubborn and obeyed her sister and began to stay away.

And at this moment, they saw a man with a grain bag on his back rushing out of the encirclement, his face full of excitement.

But the next moment, this brilliance froze.

A sharp arrow pierced his neck.

The soldiers then arrived, and several more stabs hacked him to death.

However, when they were about to carry the grain back, they found that the bag had broken a hole in the scramble, and what flowed out of it was not the expected grain.

Rather, sand.
