Chapter 21: The Hand of the King is gone
In the year 298 of the Westeros calendar, a major event suddenly occurred,
That's the Hand of the King, Jon Arryn is dead,
Grief-stricken and indignant, Robert did not go to the "massage parlor" for two whole days,
However, it was already three days after Lu Yan learned about this,
He knew that Little Finger finally couldn't help it, and wanted to stir the muddy waters of the Seven Kingdoms.
After stepping down as Minister of Justice a few years ago, Lu Yan returned to Flame Castle and began to teach the children.
Thanks to the reason that there is nothing to do every day, Lu Yan added two younger brothers to Caesar and Ares, twin brothers, Rhodes and Mude,
Now it's two or three years old, and it's cute.
The elder sister Athena was very fond of her two younger brothers, and liked to take them to play in the garden behind the castle.
As for Caesar, who already has the demeanor of an "adult", he is doing his brother's business, giving a painful "blow" when his younger brothers turn the sky upside down, yes, it is a spanking,
Ares was much more silent than his brother Caesar, like a true knight.
is not only tall and strong, but even all kinds of fighter skills are very solid.
After two years, after reaching the age of sixteen, he will be able to serve as a lord.
Knowing the news of Jon Arryn's death, Lu Yan was also summoned back to King's Landing, because there were too many things to do next.
Robert needed a reliable person by his side to help,
Today's Baratheon family is not very "harmonious",
Lan Li was made Duke of Storm's End, which was undoubtedly a contempt for Stannis,
The two brothers also had a bad relationship since childhood, which led to Stannis gaining Dragonstone,
Although it was the place where the Targaryens rose, the supplies were too scarce to compare with Storm's End.
Stannis, who was already black-faced, was even more angry and almost did something to Robert.
But now that Robert is powerful and has not won the allegiance of the vassals of the Baratheon family, Stannis is relieved,
On the eve of going to King's Landing, Lu Yan gathered his vassals,
After some instructions, I deliberately chatted with Mr. Cazorla for half the night, as for what it was, only the two parties knew,
The continent of Essos, formerly Slave Bay, has been renamed the Sea of Freedom,
Meereen and Yuankai were successively taken by Cedro in a year's time,
For this time, Lu Yan still has a lot of complaints, because it is too slow,
But Cedro had a helpless expression that I had tried my best, and Lu Yan could only be helpless for such a courtier,
After all, everyone has taken out their lives to fight, and has been assassinated more than ten times, what else can he say,
The children of the harpy have resisted less and less over the years, because most of them were almost killed at the moment the city was broken.
Now as soon as Cedro hears the news of the Harpy Son, that is, wherever he is, send the cavalry to a savage ramp, and the Unsullied wash the ground,
In the eyes of him, the iron-blooded knight, only those who were killed by mistake were not spared,
Thanks to the three cities as the base camp, Lu Yan can completely draw out an elite army of nearly 80,000 people.
Even if the people of Westeros knew the news, there was nothing wrong with it,
After all, the Essos continent is the opposite thing, and it has nothing to do with the Westeros continent.
As long as Lu Yan is under the banner of the Baratheon family, it means that he is still a loyal minister,
After all these years, hasn't anyone ever had the idea of the other side?
Yes, it's just that they were all beaten back, and only Lu Yan did it alone.
As for Robert? He didn't care how many fiefs Lu Yan had on the other side of the sea, as long as he was still Baratheon's spear!
Back in King's Landing, Lu Yan got cheers and flowers,
Because this former Minister of Justice has really done a lot for this city,
Even if these are the credits of Davos, people are also accustomed to "crowning" it on Lu Yan's head.
Looking at the still bright streets, Lu Yan couldn't help but nod,
He had a lot of effort to tidy up King's Landing City, but if Lan Li was "restored" again, he would probably cut people angrily.
On the roadside road, a lot of ornamental trees are planted.
This was obviously done by Lan Li later, and it looks very good.
Come to the Red Castle, enter the Imperial Council Hall,
Jaime is still dressed in white robes, acting as a guard of the Guards,
Looking at Cersei and him, the corners of Lu Yan's mouth couldn't help but raise a sneer,
"Nice to meet you, Sir Howard!"
Seeing Lu Yan appear, Varys and Little Finger greeted politely,
"Hmm!"
Nodding indifferently, Lu Yan didn't want to deal with this pair of "conspiracy" brothers,
As soon as Robert, whom he was loyal to, died, the restraints that pressed on him disappeared, and the entire Seven Kingdoms, who would dare to speak out to him?
Standing behind Cersei, Joffrey hurriedly fled after seeing Lu Yan, ignoring Cersei's pull on the side,
Because this bear child has shown a different kind of "talent" since he was a child, that is, not to do and not to die,
Once provoked Lu Yan at a banquet, and was beaten by him by hanging on a tree,
Not even Cersei rushed to beg for mercy,
As for Robert, seeing his "son" being taught a lesson by Lu Yan, he even laughed and drank wine,
Because of the "Emperor of the Ages" Joffrey, obviously remembering to eat and not to fight,
Peel the belly of a cat in the garden of the Red Fort, just out of curiosity,
Such a cruel prince, how could Robert like it, and immediately taught him a hard lesson,
Unexpectedly, the next day, this kid went to provoke Lu Yan, good guy, he happened to touch the muzzle,
Didn't his mother, Cersei, say that he couldn't afford to mess with the whole King's Landing?
As a reckless person, Lu Yan smiled slightly, and then hung Joffrey up and pumped,
The kid who hit him straight has his skin and flesh open, and he has been cultivating for half a month.
Jaime also came to stop him, but he was directly punched by Lu Yan and fainted.
When the remaining Kingsguard saw this scene, they hurriedly looked at Robert,
And what about their king?
laughed and drank wine, and ordered Lu Yan to exert himself
Joffrey: Or? I'm dead!
Only since then, Joffrey saw Lu Yan as if he had seen a nemesis, and he didn't even have time to escape.
"It's been a long time, Rossay, how have you been in the past few years, you haven't regressed, have you?"
Looking at Lu Yan, Robert couldn't help laughing, rolled his belly, and trembled twice with laughter.
"Charge at any time for you, Your Majesty!"
Looking at Robert, Lu Yan was about to salute with one hand in front of his chest,
Hearing Lu Yan's words, Robert said very happily: "How can there be a war that needs you now, we are all old!" ”
Fortunately, it was Lu Yan who beat Joffrey at the beginning, but if it was an ordinary person, even if Robert didn't say it on the surface, it is estimated that he would have been killed by Cersei.
But Lu Yan is different, he is the spear of the most loyal minister of the Baratheon family,
It is also the most capable knight in the entire Westeros continent today.
"I'm going to go to Winterfell and invite Ed to be the next Hand of the King!"
Looking at Lu Yan, Robert felt that this matter should be ventilated with him in advance,
"Do as you ask, Your Majesty!"
Hearing Robert's words, Lu Yan smiled slightly,
Even if he becomes the Hand of the King now, he will become the regent in the future, and then control the entire Seven Kingdoms.
Hand of the King? Phew, dogs can't even look at it!
Ed: What do you mean?
