Chapter 0422 Blown Up (Ask for Subscription)
Red Fork River, Rushing River. South Gate.
The body of Duke Horst Tully was in a small boat filled with branches of pines, sentinel trees, oaks, etc., which were soaked in fire oil and filled with asphalt.
Seven people stand knee-deep in the river to receive the boat from the shore, and the seven people slowly lower the boat into the river, and then guard the boat, which symbolizes the blessing of the seven gods. The seven men were: King Robb Stark, whom the Duke had sworn allegiance, and his six Riverlands vassals - the Earl of Brecken, the Earl of Blackwood, the Earl of Vance, the Earl of Mellister, Ser Marco Piper, and Rosso Frey the Cripple.
As the monk sang, the seven of them pushed the boat into the red river.
The shore was filled with the nobles and knights of the North, and the nobles and knights of the Riverlands gathered here.
One of them, a burly knight among the knights of White Harbor, remained motionless, his face covered with makeup, and no one noticed him in the ranks of hundreds of knights and knights. He was Eddard Stark, Duke of the North. After Winterfell was overrun by his adopted son, Theon Greyjoy, he decided to believe the words of the mysterious man relayed by Varys: Go to the north, the stranger is coming.
When Varys was coerced by someone to save Eddard, Ed accepted many of the mysterious man's conditions, but refused to believe the man's 'white ghost prophecy', until Winterfell was occupied, the western coastline of the north was wantonly plundered by the iron people, and the castles along the route were lost one after another, and the mysterious man's 'prophecy' came true one by one, and he finally believed that the 'mysterious man' said that everything he said was true.
Eddard Stark, who decided to go north, did not become king after the death of King Stannis Baratheon, and the north needed someone to stay in Winterfell, and the best person was Robb Stark, who had risen rapidly in military struggles. While the Northerners decided that Stannis Baratheon's death was over and would no longer serve any Southerner as king, Eddard Stark did not make an appearance, and he acquiesced in Robb Stark's ascension to the throne.
Last night, Ed had said goodbye to his father-in-law, Horst Tully.
In the last days of the old man's life, Eddard Stark and his wife Caitlin Tully held the old man's hand together and accompanied the old man through his last moments.
In the year 299 A.D., Horst Tully, Duke of Riverlands, died at the age of 64 while begging for forgiveness from his daughter, Lysa Tully.
When he was dying, the Duke's daughter, Lysa Tully, did not come.
In the year 279 A.D., when his thirteen-year-old daughter Lysa Tully lost her virginity to her adopted son Petyr Berry, Littlefinger, and became pregnant, Duke Horst Tully forced her daughter to drink the abortifacient, for which he always felt guilty until his death, and hoped for Lysa Tully's forgiveness.
Son Edmure Tully and daughter Catelyn Tully sent a lot of ravens to Lysa in Riverrun, hoping that she would come back to visit her father before he died, and even Robb Stark, who was the king, made a special trip to postpone his marriage to the Frey family to attend the wedding of his grandfather Horst Tully, but Lysa still did not come, not even a raven.
Horst Tully died in the year 299 of Aegon with a lot of guilt and regret, and his son Edmure Tully succeeded him to the throne.
The duke's body boat went down the river, a funeral rite peculiar to the people of the Riverlands. On the duke's body, it is covered with a flag, and the pattern on the flag is the trout of the family crest of the Tully family.
A rocket roared out and landed exactly on the duke's boat, igniting the oil and asphalt, and with a bang, the boat burst into flames.
At the same time, a raven chirped, swept across the Red Fork, flew into Riverrun, and landed at the window of the Bachelor's Tower.
Eddard Stark's heart moved: "Is it a letter from the raven, is it a special letter from the mysterious man to him?"
Eddard Stark is in the army, and this secret is known not only to the knights and knights of White Harbor, but also to relatives: Edmure Tully, Caitlin Tully, and Blackfish Brynden Tully. Eddard Stark has kept his promise with the Mystic, and will not reveal his identity until he reaches the Great Wall.
"Quack!" a raven's cry sounded, startling everyone standing on the riverbank, and another raven flew into Riverrun, landing at the window of the Bachelor's Tower.
Two ravens in a row sent letters, and it was clear that something had happened! One of the raven letters was for Eddard Stark.
*
After the funeral, the generals who returned to the hall of the main castle of Riverrun heard the news of a raven letter read by King Robb Stark: Duke Tywin of the Westside had ordered the slaughter of all the civilians in Fort Klegane, men, women and children, even all the livestock and horses, and the executioners were Davon Lannister and his three thousand Lannistershaven soldiers.
The generals were stunned!
Massacre of civilians is something that the people of the north never do when they sweep across the western border, and it is against the way of heaven. Not to mention killing civilians, even the enemy, as long as he kneels down and surrenders, the people of the north will not be easily killed.
Not to mention the fact that among those civilians were the elderly, women and children.
In the knight's oath, there is a special one: not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, not to kill the elderly, women and children among the common people. This is the bottom line of knights, and it is also the bottom line of morality.
The first to stand up and speak out was the number one warrior in the North, Jon Amber......
............
King's Landing, Prime Minister's Tower.
A raven flew into the bachelor's room and landed on the table in front of the bachelor, the university priest grabbed the corn kernel in one hand, let the raven peck happily, took the letter on the raven's leg with the other, unfolded it, looked at it, and his face changed, a letter denouncing Prime Minister Tywin for ordering the massacre of civilians in Klegane's territory, the text was extremely sharp and vicious, and it made people angry after reading it, full of hostility and hatred towards the Prime Minister, and had the urge to pick up a knife and fight evil......
A very clever and incendiary letter, but the person who sent it was sent to the wrong place, but fortunately he sent it to the Prime Minister's Tower, if it was delivered to someone else, the news would spread, and the consequences would be ......
The university priest couldn't sit still, the timing of this raven letter was wrong. Counting the time of Tywin's slaughter order in the middle of the night, Davon should have raised his butcher's knife at this time, but the letter appeared in advance......
Master Potter broke out in a cold sweat...... Who can tell the prophet...... Witch ......
Fellow Scholar immediately got up and went to the throne hall to find Duke Tywin, the Duke did not listen to the dissuasion of Earl Cayvon and the Bachelor's euphemism, and moved the people in the Clegane territory before killing the Magic Mountain, he thought that as long as Master Harry was left alone to send a message of peace to the Magic Mountain, he could stabilize the Magic Mountain, but he seriously underestimated the ability of the Witch Queen, even if the Witch Queen died, she could still make waves......
Wail!
In the sky, the cry of a raven is heard!
Potter's heart jumped, since Wu Ji sent the first letter, surely it would not be just one, or the one in the wrong place......
Wail!
Another raven appeared.
Maester Potter stood still, and he watched as a raven flew into Megar's Tower, and a raven flew into the Bachelor's Tower.
Quack!
Several ravens appeared in the sky above the Red Keep and flew into the Virgin's Residence, the White Sword Tower, and the Sanctuary respectively!
Cold sweat was pouring down from Potter's neck, and under normal circumstances, Raven would only choose three places to stay: one was the Bachelor's Tower, one was the Megar Tower, and the other was the Prime Minister's Tower.
But this time, the raven is in full bloom!
In the middle of the night, the Magic Mountain, which led the troops to raid Dragonstone Island, had successfully taken Dragonstone Island, and the military exploits had been reported to King's Landing, and the news spread, and the Western Frontier Army, the Hewan Land Army, the garrison, and the king's army were all excited......
King Joffrey and Queen Cersei were very happy with the victory of the Magic Mountain, and King Joffrey went to the throne hall for the first time today to discuss how to recognize the great military exploits of the Magic Mountain......
On the night of the night's confrontation with Duke Tywin in King Maeglou's bedroom, King Joffrey confessed that he was loyal to His Majesty rather than the Lannisters, leading King Joffrey to regard the Mountain as a very rare loyal general...... That night, the tense battle between the Magic Mountain and Tywin, Joffrey could see it clearly, and everyone could feel the murderous aura of the Magic Mountain and the murderous intent of the Duke......
Under such circumstances, Fellow was very worried that the Magic Mountain on Dragonstone Island would soon get the news that his territory would be slaughtered, and what was frightening was that his head was still on his neck...... Duke Tywin hasn't had time to cut it down yet......
Things blew up!
*
The Bachelor's Tower, the apprentice of the Bachelor of Coburn opened the raven's letter, he glanced at it, his face was full of shock, and soon, he rolled up the raven letter, grabbed a raven from the raven's cage, tied the letter to the raven's legs, pushed open the window, and the raven flew out...... The raven, who had delivered the letter, cooed on his table, and he grabbed a large handful of corn and put it on the table, and the raven stopped calling and began to peck at the corn......
*
On the night of the conflict between the Magic Mountain and her father in the bedroom of the King of the Queen House, the Queen Mother said that he swore allegiance to Joffrey I, and the Queen Mother Cersei was very relieved, she hoped that there would be a general who would be loyal to Joffrey, and that Joffrey needed someone to support him, although he was still young, he was the king...... And my father...... Is he trying to usurp the throne......
Cersei suddenly felt a chill in her heart, she became scared, she suddenly thought that if someone could deliver the letter to her, it would definitely be able to reach the hands of the Magic Mountain, who took Dragonstone and defeated the remnants of Stannis who were guarding Dragonstone, and then made military achievements, morale was high, if he learned that his father had secretly slaughtered the people in his territory, what would the Magic Mountain do? Who can stop the Magic Mountain......
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, you ...... Do you need a cup of hot water?" The maid saw that the Queen Mother's face was so ugly, so terrible.
Cersei was shocked to see in the mirror that her face was so ugly, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness, and as if she was about to faint, she settled down and leaned on the table: "Go and call the bachelor of science...... And also...... And also...... Well, go get Tyrion Lannister too, hurry!"

There is a huge vacant building on top of the Rhaenys Hill: the Dragon's Lair. It is the place where the Targaryens used to raise dragons. The dragon's lair is very large, only the width of a bronze door, and there is still room for twenty-eight war horses to walk side by side.
Since the extinction of dragons a hundred years ago, the dragon's lair has become an open space, and now there are nearly 20,000 Western Frontier troops stationed on it.
In one of the barracks, with 2,000 soldiers, was the legion of the Westerling family of Cragrag Rock, with Earl Gavin Westerling as the chief general of the legion, and his wife's elder brother, Ser Rover Spicer, the legion's lieutenant.
Gavin and Rover were eating lunch and drinking in the general's tent, when the curtain of the tent was lifted, and a very clever wild child slipped in - the Dragon's Lair was a gathering place for homeless people, beggars, and wild children in King's Landing before it was occupied by the Western Army - after being occupied by the army, there were still some homeless wild children and homeless people who appeared here from time to time, and they were used to making the Dragon's Den their home.
Many soldiers gave leftover food and wine to homeless men and wild children in remote corners.
The stout, with a broken nose and a short beard, and a rather brave looking, Rover was about to scold, when the child grinned and threw a roll of paper on the table: "Excuse me!" The child, with the dexterity of a mouse, slipped out of the corner of the tent.
"What?" said Rover, grabbing the roll of paper and throwing it on the ground.
Gavin Westerling was not angry, picked it up, unfolded it, and his face suddenly changed!
"What's wrong?" asked Rover, who had taken a bite of his meal.
"Duke Tywin killed all the people of the Demon Mountain Domain. Gavin muttered.
"What?" Rover stood up at once, reached out and grabbed the scroll, his gaze swept over the scroll, "Damn old Tywin, this is going to kill them all!"
"The magic mountain is too much merit?" Gavin muttered, "why is this happening?"
"I guess they're going to come to us? Could it be the gold coin factory in Casterme!"
"What gold coin factory?"
"Magic Mountain called Smelly Mouth and Renard secretly opened a gold coin factory in Castelme to mint coins, and the gold mine was the original gold mine of Castelme. ”
Gavin was dumbfounded, unbelievable! He only knew that his family was getting richer and richer, but he didn't know that there was such a thing.
"Does Shibber know?"
Hibell Spicer, wife of Earl Gavin.
"We all know that!"
"I don't know?!" Count Gavin couldn't believe it.
"You know now!"
"That'...... That...... What should we do?"
"What else can I do? Old Tywin also minted coins privately, the seven civil strife, what's wrong with everyone minting some coins? He killed them all and showed no mercy, so it's the other way around!"
The sound of footsteps outside the door, the footsteps of many people, was chaotic. A guard's voice said respectfully, "Sir Adam, Earl Gavin is eating, please allow me to give me a briefing." ”
"No need!" said Adam Malbran's voice.
Rover and Gavin exchanged glances, put away the note, and sat down to eat.
Adam opened the curtain and entered, followed by eight golden-robed men.
"Count Gavin, the Prime Minister has important matters to discuss. ”
"Okay, the general will go first, I'll eat, and I'll go to the Prime Minister's Tower. “
"I'm sorry, Earl, the situation is urgent, Prime Minister, please go now. ”
Gavin laughed, "Why is it so urgent? Can't you just sit down and have a drink, Commander Adam?"
"I'd love to have a drink with the Earl, but this time it's an emergency. ”
"Oh, so what's the matter?"
"The Earl will know when he goes, and I don't dare to ask more about the specific matters, and I dare not say. ”
"Oh, well!" Garvin stood up and dropped the chopsticks—the new aristocratic fashion of King's Landing, "let's go!"
Adam stepped out of the way, Gavin took the lead, Rover got up to send him off, suddenly the knife flashed, a knife rested on Adam's neck, Rover smiled: "Adam, eight people want to take Count Gavin." ”
Choke!
Eight golden-robed swords were unsheathed and restrained Count Gavin.
Choke choke!
The Westerling House guards unsheathed their swords and surrounded the eight golden-robed men.
Rover strangled Adam's neck with his left arm, and the knife against the back of his heart, and said with a smile: "Adam, let your dog drop the sword, or you will all die!"
