Chapter 0387: Dark War
(Reminder: 2 o'clock free end, to see the hurry, in order to thank the brothers who have been subscribing to support, release the chapter in advance.) That one...... I'm going to drift. )
*
The first to stand up and applaud was Earl Gavin Westerling of the West, who was the father-in-law of the Magic Mountain.
The new lord of Stooakworthburg, Bolon, who had been named Knight of the Blackwater, also applauded.
Magic Mountain's generals: Captain Erin, Vice-Captain Gratan, Archers Baron Angai, Adjutant Julie, Heavy Cavalry General Sweetmouth Love, Lieutenant Polivier and Dunson...... A group of generals from the western realm applauded.
"Congratulations, Lord Moshan. Petyr Berish, the king's retainer Littlefinger, also slowly stood up, smiled, and applauded.
The Koben scholar in front of the Imperial Minister's table kept a polite smile and did not move.
The leaders of the hill tribes, including Shaga and Conn, who were loyal to the little devils, applauded vigorously. They were so successful that they were allowed to enter the throne hall and stand in the far corner of the courtiers.
The king's courtiers, all the knights, generals, and knights who had participated in the great battle, stood and applauded the Magic Mountain.
In the throne hall, there was a round of applause.
Joffrey's eyes swept across the audience, with the wanton 'everything under my control' in his eyes, and his heart also despised these dog-like courtiers, and he seemed to smile and applaud the magic mountain.
Duke Tywin didn't say a word, didn't move.
At the gate, a teenager comes in with a wheelchair with the little demon Tyrion Lannister.
The teenager pushing the wheelchair is Podrick Pine.
There were no bandages on his face, and the terrible wounds were scarlet flesh-colored, and the sheep's gut sewed together the rolled flesh on both sides, like the thousand feet of a centipede.
His nose was almost gone, with only a black hole. Because the upper lip is also missing a piece of flesh, the gums are exposed, and there are a few pale yellow teeth.
The little devil's injuries were terrifying, and people felt very uncomfortable at first sight.
Joffrey looked at the little devil's 'pretty' face, dumbfounded and incredulous.
Cersei was completely stunned.
She hadn't expected the little devil to come to the throne hall at this time.
The ladies and ladies are hiding their eyes!
Duke Tywin's face was also stiff, and it was very inappropriate for Tyrion to appear at this time!
Podrick pushes the imp to the bottom of the steps, and the imp gets up from his wheelchair, his wound on his face, not on his leg.
He bowed to His Majesty the King, then to Queen Mother Cersei, and finally to the Prime Minister, Lord Tywin.
The little devil and Duke Tywin looked at each other, and it was clear that the duke was not happy with his arrival, and the duke did not care about Tyrion's injury in the slightest, and the little devil could see this in the duke's eyes. It chilled in his heart: the Prime Minister just wanted Tyrion to leave as soon as possible.
His father saw him as a nuisance.
"Congratulations, Lord Moshan. "From earl to duke, you deserve it." The only regret is that Dragonstone has more rocks than dirt. “
As soon as the little devil spoke, the words were very harsh. He believes that Dragonstone Island is desolate and should be rewarded with a better territory for the Magic Mountain. Sarcasm is the usual style of the little devil.
"Your Majesty, I have also made a war exploit and want a reward of my own. The little devil said.
"Tyrion, the most important thing you should do now is to heal. Queen Cersei said lightly, "Where is Master Baraba? I have instructed him to take care of your injuries with all his might. He has failed in his duty, and I will punish him severely. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Tyrion said, "I told Podrick to tie up Barab, and he wouldn't let me out, so I had to tie him up." ”
"You need the Bachelor's care, Tyrion. Cersei involuntarily raised her head, her neck as slender as a swan.
"Yes, thank you my good sister. I'd rather come to the throne hall and get a knighthood or a reward than lying in bed. So, the King, the Queen Mother, the Prime Minister, have mercy on the wound on my face, and where is my reward?"
"We'll reward you, Uncle Dwarf. Joffrey said.
"Very well, do you need to have a meeting now, or did you forget about me at all, during the battle with Stannis, I led my army through the King's Gate to attack the right side of Stannis's army. ”
"Tyrion, we'll give you a fair reward, but for now, can we take care of the rest of the business first. Duke Tywin said lightly.
"Oh, Father, of course!" said Tyrion, "So, may I sit in here and listen? After all, I was Prime Minister yesterday, hehe, I must be the shortest gnome in history!"
Some of the courtiers let out a chuckle.
In Tyrion's eyes, the Prime Minister's father is a piece of iron, the Queen Mother's sister is a poisonous bee, and the King's nephew is a monster. As for the others, Littlefinger is a liar, Cobain is a dark doctor, and Magic Mountain is a ...... A beast in human skin.
Duke Tywin looked at Tyrion lightly: "Tyrion, there is a place for you in the throne hall, if you can keep your mouth shut while listening to government affairs, it will be even better." ”
"Yes, Prime Minister. You can see my wounds, and it's not good to talk too much. Come, Bordrick, push me into the courtiers. ”
"Yes, sir!"
Podrick pushed Tyrion into the first row of courtiers, and the courtiers dodged, and Podrick kept nodding in apology, feeling the eyes of the whole hall fall on his face, which made his whole body hot and his face hot.

The Magic Mountain returned to the Imperial Court and sat down at the long table where the important ministers were qualified to sit.
He was the Minister of the Imperial Sea, a member of the Imperial Council, and from then on he was justifiably involved in the formulation, proposal, and voting of national affairs.
As soon as the magic mountain sits down, it is a mountain.
Duke Tywin stood up: "Your Majesty, there are many important vacancies in the royal court, which will make it impossible for the government affairs of the whole country to run smoothly, and the petitions of the people cannot be dealt with quickly, I propose that the Duke of Mace Tyrell of Riverlands be the former Minister of Justice......"
"Prime Minister, you can just take care of these little things. Joffrey abruptly interrupted Duke Tywin, choking Duke Tywin, and his stomach was choked in his throat.
When Tywin meets Joffrey, it's a new problem for the master!
Joffrey sat down, his hands carefully resting on the armrests of the twisted blades, the coldness of the iron made him feel comfortable, and the sharpness of the sword made him feel the edge: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have a more important matter to deal with now. Lord Magic Mountain, your army has captured a captive named Brienne, who is the murderer of my third uncle, Lan Li, although my third uncle is a traitor, his surname is Baratheon, and I ask you to hand her over and put to death at the request of Loras Tyrell, the Knight of the Hundred Flowers. “
The child king is concerned with fun, not government.
Killing is obviously more fun than those government affairs.
The Magic Mountain said, "Your Majesty, I have brought Brienne of Tarth. ”
"Where?" Joffrey thought it was a bundle of flowers, but he didn't see it.
One strode out of the ranks of generals in the Magic Mountain, carrying a long sword at his waist and broad shoulders, half a head taller than most men.
Brienne walked out and knelt down on one knee: "Brienne of Tars, see His Majesty the King, His Majesty the Queen Mother." ”
Joffrey looked at Brienne and was secretly amazed, such a tall woman, such broad shoulders, such bulging teeth, and such blue eyes...... But, there are a lot of freckles on the face...... Well, let's just kill someone......
"Come on, take Brienne. Joffrey exclaimed.
"Your Majesty, the minister is not guilty. Brienne said in a deep voice.
"You murdered Lan Li, and the vassals murdered the lord, a capital crime. ”
"The minister did not murder King Lanli. ”
Joffrey had no interest in the trial, and did not want to entangle with Brienne: "Sir Loras Tyrrell, Brienne said that she was innocent, and that the person was handed over to you, and if you want to do it yourself, cut her down now." If you don't want to do it yourself, the magistrate will cut her. “
Figuring out a boring thing will only make people more boring, and it's more simply fun to go straight to the blood!
Loras Tyrell emerged from the courtiers, his face calm and handsome, his armor embroidered with white roses, and the hilt and scabbard of his sword were intricately carved with flowers.
"Brienne ......"
Brienne stood up, "Sir Loras, it was Stannis's shadow who killed King Lanli. ”
"Kill her, she is here to openly say that Lan Li is the king, kill her rebel. A military general shouted.
"In the throne hall, a traitor is openly called a king, and her tongue should be cut out. Another nobleman immediately followed.
"I have pledged allegiance to Lan Li, and although he is dead, he was my king during his lifetime. Brienne fought back.
"Only those who have apostatized as soon as their lord dies should have their tongues cut out. The little devil turned his head to look at the noisy people behind him and said.
The few people who were clamoring were stunned.
"He who does not have the old master in his heart will not be loyal to the new master. Loyalty and honor are non-existent for these hypocritical liars and soft bones who see the wind and rudder. "The little devil's sharp mouth has always been a knife, and it has offended many people, but it will never change.
"Half-human, who are you loyal to?" someone fought back.
"I was loyal to Lan Li the day before yesterday, Stannis yesterday, and King Joffrey today, who do you say I am loyal to?" the little devil said coldly.
The nobleman stammered...... His face turned blue all of a sudden......
This sentence was too powerful, but it also hurt all the nobles who turned their allegiance to Joffrey after the defeat.
The little devil didn't care, and looked at Sir Loras Tyrell: "Knight, if I were you, I would think about it with my toes, and I would know that it would be impossible for Brienne to kill her master, she still called Lan Li the king here just now, and many people want to seize this trick to please our king and prime minister, in exchange for a reward that may be a small look." If my wound didn't hurt when I laughed, I would laugh at you. ”
Loras Tyrell said, "Brienne, how do you prove what you say?"
"My loyalty and honor. ”
"When you fled, you lost your loyalty and honor. ”
"You are enraged, you have killed two rainbow guards in a row, more people rushed in, the scene is chaotic, I don't escape, what else can I do? cannibalism with my own people? I want to stay and assassinate Stannis to avenge Lan Li. “
"Even if you didn't kill Lan Li, you are Lan Li's guard on duty, and the lord was assassinated, you are derelict in your duty. Loras said coldly, "The guards who assassinated their lord are a capital offense." “
Brienne stared at Loras, "You're going to kill me?"
"You are guilty!
In the throne hall, the important courtiers all knew that Lan Li and Loras grew up in Storm's End, and Loras was sent to Storm's End by Duke Mace Tyrell at a young age to serve as Lan Li's father's attendant. He and Lan Li are inseparable, and their relationship is extremely deep.
Lan Li is dead, and it is very inappropriate for Lan Li's two vassals in the throne hall to fight for Lan Li's death, but the king, the queen mother, the prime minister, the sea minister, the finance minister and others did not stand up to stop the inappropriate remarks of these two people, and no one else dared to come out and say anything.
Brienne turned to the king: "Your Majesty, I ask for a jousting trial. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the hall.
Joffrey couldn't wait, Her Majesty the Queen Mother just wanted to end this farce as soon as possible, who lives and who dies, Her Majesty the Queen Mother has no interest in it, and she doesn't care about this boring question. She didn't open her mouth because her idol father, Lord, was expressionless and motionless. Considering that all food and means of subsistence for King's Landing after the war would be provided by the Riverlands, Cersei breathed a sigh of relief.
On such an occasion, the two 'remnants' of Lan Li are-for-tat over Lan Li's death, arguing about who is responsible for Lan Li's death, which is a ridiculous thing in the throne hall.
It's just that this matter is suddenly triggered by King Joffrey's not playing cards according to the normal way, the prime minister is expressionless and does not speak, and the entire courtiers and generals, who dares to say a word?
Joffrey didn't have as much 'political' wisdom as the grown-ups, and when he heard Brienne talk about the jousting trial, he was overjoyed: "Okay, I'm approving it, Brienne and Sir Loras, jousting the judging, the Seven Gods will make the fairest and most just judgment, let's begin!"
Loras Tyrell faced Joffrey and bowed, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
Choke!
Loras Tyrell's sword is unsheathed, a sword that shines like water, a good sword, but not a Valyrian steel sword. Valyrian steel swords, each one of which is a famous sword, is very rare. After the loss of the Valyrian sword of the Lannisters of the Fuco Empire, one of the younger brothers of Duke Tywin went to sea to find it, and the man and the sword were never heard from again.
A Valyrian steel sword, priceless, the Tyrells are so rich, but they don't have a Valyrian steel sword.
Brienne said, "Your Majesty, according to the ancient way of the jousting trial, do I have the right to find a proxy samurai to fight for me?"
"Of course, you all have the right to find a proxy warrior to fight, and you also have the right to pay homage to the Seven Gods according to the ancient way, and you can also find six helpers to fight in a team battle with the Seven Stars. "Joffrey was in high spirits and eager to get as many people into the fight as possible.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Queen Mother, Your Majesty the Prime Minister, Ladies and Gentlemen, when Brienne of Tars was wronged by all men, there was a Lord who vouched for me in the name of the old and new gods and the honor of the family, and he was the Duke of Gregor Clegane. ”
Rumble!
The throne hall exploded.
Everyone suspected that they had heard it wrong, and everyone was in disbelief.
The little devil also looked at the Magic Mountain, and the Magic Mountain also saw Brienne's innocence?! This guy's eyes are about to catch up with me! It's just that Brienne suddenly said this, what does that mean?
Joffrey and Cersei were stunned.
Not surprising to Tywin and Lorras, they knew what Brienne was saying, and the mountain believed in Brienne's loyalty and innocence, and stepped in to stop Loras Tyrelll's capture of Brienne.
"Duke Gregor Clegane, with the justice of the Father, with the mercy of the Virgin, with the mercy of the old woman, with the skill of a warrior, with the courage of a blacksmith, with the purity of a maiden, with the inscrutable of a stranger, with the honor of the House of Tars, and with my loyalty, can Brienne please be my surrogate warrior, to demonstrate the bravery of your lordship and to prove the impartiality of the Seven Gods. “
The audience was silent.
Everyone was taken by surprise.
Duke Tywin looked at the Magic Mountain lightly.
Moshan slowly stood up: "Miss Brienne, in the name of the old and new gods, in the name of justice and fairness, I am honored to be your acting warrior!"
Duke Mace Tyrrell, Ser Loras Tyrrell, Cersei, Tyrion the Imp, and many other courtiers.
Duke Tywin's face was expressionless, and his eyes were indifferent!
