163. Time difference

"My lady, Catherine. It was she who had sent the keel dagger, and she believed Baelish's words, and met Tyrion Lannister on the way back to the North. She was a mother, and she couldn't stand it in the face of someone who tried to murder her son. ”

"That place happens to be the Riverlands, her father's fiefdom, and she just gathered people and tied up that Lannister!"

Ed quickly explained the general situation to Lane, so that this young man who had no idea about the Seven Kingdoms had some pre-information.

Lan En was still a little confused at this moment.

After all, just half a minute ago, he was still immersed in the excitement and joy that he had discovered a secret that could subvert the power structure of the entire continent, and that it was enough to ensure the stable life of the Stark family, and that it was about to be over.

However, half a minute later, Ed told him directly that he was going to fight.

"It's not. Just tied up someone! Haven't you done anything yet?! Not really, right? ”

What about negotiations? What about compromise? What about trading?

Don't you even go through this standard process?!

Are you nobles?

Mr. Lan, a young man from the countryside, felt that he was shocked again.

Whoever is full of delicacies from Table Mountain, just because there is a lack of chopsticks, they have to order a gas stove!

"You don't know the current Lannister family."

Ed also wiped his face with his hand, slightly frantic.

"Tywin Lannister, a man who values family honor more than anything else, he doesn't care about Tyrion Lannister, he cares about someone doing something to the Lannisters!"

"Whoever dares to do it, he will make that person never move again! The Lannister family's gold mountain gives him this confidence! Now, he has begun to mobilize the army! ”

Boom! You're got a lot of people here!

Lan En complained a little in his heart, and immediately thought of the most important thing at the moment-

Time difference.

"Did you get the message quickly?"

Lan En, who calmed down, pulled Ed and walked out, asking quick questions as he went.

The time difference that comes with intelligence is a very important thing.

The current military configuration in King's Landing is strange.

The golden-robed army of the City Watch numbered about 2,000 men, and the Lannisters had more than 500 of the Queen's personal armies!

What does the golden robe look like, Lan En has also probably had an impression in the past few days, and this group of people may still have some integrity and combat effectiveness at the beginning of the establishment of the army.

But looking at it now, it's all a group of guys who give more money to whoever gives it conveniently.

This is still the situation where the king has been assassinated today, and his health is still there, and they can still be used under pressure.

If something happens to the king, this group of people will probably buy their lives directly!

And according to Ed, the Lannister family has a mountain of gold!

Originally, according to Lan En's knowledge, even a family war should not involve the prime minister of the kingdom.

Because Eddard is above the Stark family's status as the head of the family, the highest priority is the prime minister of the kingdom.

Isn't it a rebellion to do it against the Prime Minister of the Kingdom in King's Landing?

But Lannister's direct deployment of troops was really a lesson for Lann.

Not everyone will play the game according to the rules and conventions.

Some people just like to get the harvest from lifting the table, even if they know that the harm caused by lifting the table is more than the benefit most of the time.

So Ed, and the whole Prime Minister Tari, is in danger right now.

Five hundred Lannisters had enough to kill everyone but Lanne.

They had to take back the king's order before the queen mobilized the Lannister private army, and directly pressed the golden robe to fight against the Lannister private army.

Rann was holding Ed in his hand, and in the other hand he was holding the book "Genealogy and History of the Families of the Major Nobles of the Seven Kingdoms".

"We'll have to tell the king what I found before the queen reacts, so that he can preempt the Lannisters!"

Ed doesn't know much about power struggles, but he's the general who once led the lead in the Reaver War.

After switching his mind to battlefield mode, he immediately became crisp and decisive.

Without looking back, he instructed Jory Kesso, who was following behind him.

"I'll go to the king with Lanne, and you and the rest of you will guard the Prime Minister's Tower, remember! Defend by the standards of the battlefield! ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Jory knew that this was not to take into account whether the faΓ§ade of the Prime Minister's Tower was good or not.

Directly on the upper body of the battle armor, the door is piled up with horses and sundries! Families who could not fight, both men and women, gathered together first to take refuge.

"Understood, sir."

The captain of the guard ran to inform his men.

Lanne and Ed also went downstairs and got on their horses.

"You've finished reading that book in a moment? What's in there? ”

Ed turned around the horse and asked Lann.

Anyway, it's a book of hundreds of pages, which is too fast!

"As I said, I have some experience in reading."

The two of them rode their horses and galloped towards the main road leading to the tournament venue.

Judging by the time, the archery competition should be over by this time, and Robert is on his way back.

Rann didn't go around the bush and told Ed what he had discovered.

"Bang, this book has a record of the marriage between the Lannister and Baratheon! More than once! ”

Rann patted the tome fixed to the horse's back and said to Ed.

"Those kids are all black-haired and black-eyed! No exceptions! In other words, none of the current crown princes are born to the king himself! ”

"Holy!"

When Ed heard this, his eyes were about to pop out of his sockets.

"That's why my adoptive father went to find Robert's illegitimate son! That's why he borrowed this book!? ”

If Tyrion had gotten the answer before Tyrion, Eddard might have secretly let Cersei leave with the child, or at least the innocent child.

Because he knew that his brother would really kill the child if he went crazy.

But the time did not allow him to hesitate.

Lan En wanted to look up to the sky, and his vision beyond that of a mortal made him see several ravens flying into the sky of King's Landing.

Time is running out.

Although Stark was one of the participants in the kidnapping, he had a lead in information, but the intelligence work of the other families was undoubtedly better than that of the upright Northerners.

News of Tyrion Lannister's abduction came about an hour later than Stark's raven.

Lane and Eddard gallop out of King's Landing, where they meet Robert halfway through.

At this time, this fat and strong man was wearing a bandage around his waist, and he was drinking wine without a mouthful.

But he still rode on a horse, not in a car. Even every jolt of the horse's hooves would make the corners of his mouth twitch.

But he still rode like this.

He was a king, and after an assassination, he wanted to prove that he was still strong, and there was nothing more convincing than riding into the city.

Robert saw Lan and Ed coming on horseback from a distance, and he sprinkled a beard with the precious Qingting Island red wine on his lips.

"Aha! Isn't this the hand of our king and the swordsman who saved him! How did you come back again? ”

But soon, Robert's cheerful smile could no longer be maintained.

Because he saw Eddard's bitter face.

The Duke of the North often had a bitter melon face, but Robert who knew him knew very well-

The pre-war vigilance and the embarrassment of encountering an incident can be distinguished on Ed's face.

Only he can tell.

Today's three watches are over!
