King Robert glanced at Cersei, who had changed color, and was in a happy mood.

What makes the Lannisters unhappy is his pleasure.

The king's father-in-law, Tywin, has been the prime minister of the kingdom since he was twenty years old, and he has been working for twenty years, he has the political talent and experience to govern the entire country, but when Robert took the country, he married Cersei for a political marriage, and did not invite his father-in-law to be the prime minister, but invited his adoptive father Jon Arryn;

Why?

Robert was a true king, and he married Cersei purely for political reasons, and because of the persuasion of his adoptive father, Jon Arryn, he himself had never had a good opinion of the Lannisters in the West.

This is evident from the fact that he had no taboo in calling Jaime a 'regre' in public. He also had no respect for his brother Jaime.

Casterme and Tarbek Hall in the West, the two great families that Tywin destroyed in the West, for decades Tywin never gave those two pieces of land to anyone, he was specifically used to deter other dissenting nobles in the West. Once the Faman family in the sea also rebelled and declared independence, Tywin sent a violinist to the door to play a song of Casterme's rainy season, and the Faman family immediately bowed down. Castelmet and Tarbek Hall are an example that Duke Tywin has set up to kill dissent, and Duke Tywin is deliberately abandoning it.

King Robert knew this, and he was glad that he could bestow Casterme and Tarbek Hall on the Magic Mountain in the name of the King, and that it was none of his business as to how Tywin and his vicious dogs would bite him, or how he would get along with each other in the future. Moreover, Casterme and Tarbek Hall are not the king's territory, and they are not the king's private land anyway, and giving other people's things to meritorious heroes is equivalent to taking other people's money as gifts, so why not?!

Cersei is displeased, Jenny is surprised, and the magic mountain is silent.

According to the etiquette, the Magic Mountain thanked the king and got up, from the perspective of honor and law, Casterme and Tabek Hall were already the private domain of the Magic Mountain. He had the right to do anything with Casterme and Tarbek Hall, and whether Duke Tywin was displeased or disapproved was another matter.

Soon, the Great Master Paisel will issue a decree to the Duke of Tywin in the West, bearing the King's seal, so that Duke Tywin will know of the King's land reward for the Magic Mountain. As for the mood or opinion of the Duke himself, it does not affect the legitimacy and authority of the King's decrees.

The Magic Mountain had no expression. Cersei, the King, Littlefinger, the Octopus Spider, the Great Master, and others couldn't see the surprise of the Magic Mountain because of the land, nor did they see the glory of the Magic Mountain because of being an earl.

This made King Robert feel that the 'mischief' was not perfect. He really wanted to see the expression of the magic mountain's great joy, but there was no such thing at all!

The Great Master is an admirer of Duke Tywin, and the Magic Mountain knows this, that is an absolutely unneutral bachelor of bad character, living a luxurious life, and being a bad person. Although no one else knew, he knew through the Magic Mountain that Jon Arryn was about to be revived by the Bachelors, the toxicity was contained, and his condition began to improve, and it was Hir who sent the other court Scholars to leave, and he was responsible for taking care of Jon, and then he stopped the medication and watched Jon Arryn die slowly like this.

At that time, in the 83rd year of the Aegon calendar, it was also this upright and neutral great power teacher who persuaded the mad king Iristan to open the city gate and let Tywin Lannister in, and the loyal minister who tried his best to prevent the opening of the door at that time was the eight-clawed spider Varys. It's just a pity that the mad king Aerys didn't listen to the octopus, but listened to the great master, and then, the city gate opened, and the slaughter began.

With this old fox here, Moshan knew that he couldn't show any happy expression.

Expressionless is the best expression to deal with these scumbags, liars, conspirators, and cunning kings.

Robert returned his sword to the intrepid Barristan Sermi, the captain of the Kingsguard, sat back in his seat, and said, "Tell the kitchen of the palace that today I will have a banquet for Lady Jenny and the Count of the Magic Mountain, and let them get ready. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" said a servant, bowing at once.

"Then let's go, go to the restaurant, I can't wait to get the magic mountain drunk. Great Master, you make arrangements, pass the order down, and buy milk in the whole city. There are many nobles and tycoons in the city, especially those who come from the other side of the narrow sea, and sell them fresh milk at a high price, and the sterilization technology must be kept secret. As for the nobles of the royal domain, they had to pay for it. ”

"Do you need Lady Jenny to teach me the skills to make a mercury thermometer?" said the great master Pixiel.

"I brought some thermometers with me. Lady Jeanne said unhurriedly, "In the western realm and the riverlands, a thermometer with a hundred gold dragons, as for the hourglass, it is not difficult for everyone to figure it out on their own." I'll give you two thermometers for the royal family. ”

The Great Master Pai Hill smiled a little embarrassed, and Jenny said a lot of things, but didn't say that she wanted to teach him the technique of making a thermometer. But as long as there is a sample, it will not be difficult for him. King's Landing is located next to the Blackwater River, where the mint and the glass factory are adjacent to the ironwork factory, making mercury thermometers, which is convenient.

The group followed the king and queen to the dining room, and before they could leave the drawing room, the door opened, and Jaime Lannister, the king-killer, entered: "Your Majesty, several mercenaries have come to the city garrison, and report that Lady Catelyn Tully has captured my brother Tyrion Lannister at the Cross Inn in the Riverlands, please allow me to go to the Prime Minister's Tower and ask Lord Eddard why?"

The king's face turned ugly when he heard Ed's name, and he was angry at Ed's refusal to carry out his orders: "Killer of the king, don't make trouble, tomorrow I will ask him for details." Seven Hells, how did Lady Caitlyn end up at the Cross Inn in the Riverlands, and what the hell was she up to?"

"Robert, Tyrion is your uncle, and you're just letting Stark's people hang right under your nose?" Cersei was indignant. She has no crush on Tyrion, but she has no crush on the Starks, who she has always thought are better suited for Prime Minister than the Stone Men of the North.

"I don't know who's right or wrong, or what's going on, but I'll be impartial. Women, don't point fingers at me. King Robert said angrily.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that Lord Eddard is packing his belongings for the return of Winterfell. Jaime added.

It would take him two weeks to pack his bags and get ready to go north. The king shouted angrily, "Monarch killer, step aside!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" said James, who bowed his head and stepped away.

Magic Mountain can see that although Robert is angry with Eddard, he still instinctively defends his old friend. After all, they grew up and fought side by side together, and finally laid down this big country. The life and death friendship between two people, knowing the roots, no matter how fierce the quarrel with each other, it is also an internal contradiction between brothers, and once an external force intervenes to take advantage of this contradiction, it is basically impossible.

Little Finger glanced at the magic mountain, and then said: "Your Majesty, I still have some government affairs to deal with today, and the customs officials are going to come to file taxes, so I won't go to the restaurant, please ask His Majesty the King for approval." ”

Robert waved his hand, and his little finger slid away.

Varys also immediately made an excuse to get out, the king was angry, and the queen's face was not good-looking, this meal was still the most appropriate to stay away!

Varys also departed, and then the great master of Paisel made an excuse to study and make more mercury thermometers, and Janine and the Magic Mountain also made an excuse to leave, and in a short time the drunken leisure of the king's feast disappeared cleanly.

The rain in the sky was getting heavier and heavier, as if it had peeked into Ed's depressed heart.

Accompanied by Littlefinger, he had just returned to the Red Keep from Sataya's brothel. Behind him, his captain of the guard, Jory Keso, the guard Vail, and Haihua.

In Ed's eyes, there seemed to be a young girl's face, with faint freckles on both sides of her nose, and she was holding a newborn baby girl in her arms, with black hair and black eyes, like Robert.

Another illegitimate son of Robert, the girl had just come out of the country and was budded by Robert. She is madly obsessed with Robert and swears to Ed that she has never been close to a man except Robert.

This girl was the one Jon Arryn had gone to find with Stannis before he died, and Eddard went to see her again, and when he was about to leave King's Landing, it was out of a promise that he would not let this girl's baby girl lack food and clothing, and he was going to deliver money. As he parted, Ed fantasized about finding a clue to the cause of Jon Arryn's death from the girl's mouth.

But Ed was disappointed again, he didn't find any clues that were more useful than last time.

Ed had mixed feelings when he thought of the Lannisters being around the king at any time, but he was no longer the former prime minister, and the king ordered him to get out of the Red Keep, no matter how complicated and sad he was inside, he had to leave, and as soon as possible. The king had become a stranger, and it was entirely possible that he would have cut off Ed's head at the sound of an order.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the cloak had become a heavy burden, and the raindrops dripped down the helmet like strings of tears of sorrow.

"Why the hell did Jon visit that girl in Sataya's brothel before he died?" Ed asked Littlefinger beside him.

The drenched short man shrugged: "He is the former prime minister, so Robert must have asked him to take care of him." ”

"There must be more than that, otherwise why kill him?"

Even though he had to leave King's Landing, Ed still couldn't worry about the cause of Jon's death, and he couldn't worry about the danger around Robert.

It's just that God doesn't open his eyes, and he still can't find any clues. To convince the King to deal with the Lannisters, protect himself and avenge Jon, Ed needs evidence.

The rain turned heavier, stinging his eyes and pounding the ground.

The heavy rain turned into a roaring torrential rain, and the black turbidity poured down from the hills, and the ground was covered with water, and the filthy water from the sewers rolled into the streets, and the rain was too heavy.

Then Jory shouted, "Lord Eddard!" and there was nervousness in his hoarse voice. In the blink of an eye, at the intersection ahead, the streets were full of soldiers.

The red-cloaked soldiers, lined up in a row, are centered on a giant with a body like a mountain. At the giant's side, there is a freckled boy with a hesitant expression: Angay the Sharpshooter. On the other side, there is a handsome general in golden armor: Jaime Lannister.

Ned's heart tightened.

He saw the Cregan soldiers on the opposite side wearing helmets covered with ring armor, iron gloves, and knee pads, and steel helmets, their rain-soaked clinging clings to their bodies. The soldiers lined up in two columns, blocking the way on foot, with long swords in the front and iron spears in the back.

"Behind!" he heard Vail shout, and he turned his horse's head to find footsteps behind him, and the four Kregon knights of the Magic Mountain with more men cut off their retreat. Four knights rode horses, and the rest of the infantry were all spears.

Jory's sword slammed out of its sheath. "Death to those who stand in the way!"

Jaime rode up slowly, the rain dripping down his golden helmet, but Jaime seemed to be walking in the garden.

"The wolves are howling, but alas, it's a small pack of wolves. ”

Littlefinger stepped forward: "Sir Jaime, what do you mean by this, Ed is the former Prime Minister. ”

"Former Prime Minister. Jaime said contemptuously, "As for now, how old is he?"

"Jaime, I advise you to calm down?" said Littlefinger, "Let's get over, we should go back to the city, this is King's Landing, if the king orders to capture Lord Eddard, please show us your warrant?"

"Littlefinger, if you don't want to die, get out!" Jaime said in a contemptuous tone, "Magic Mountain, Littlefinger will say one more word and cut him off." ”

"Yes, Sir Jaime!" the words of the Magic Mountain thundered like a giant bell, drowning out the sound of the rain.

Littlefinger suddenly turned pale.

"I'm going to find the Capital Guards. Littlefinger reassured Ned. He kicked his horse forward, and the Cregan soldiers got out of the way, before the array resumed, surrounding Eddard's group of four.

"Eddard, my brother is in the hands of Catelyn Tully, he is a man who cannot protect himself, and I am curious to know who gave her the courage to kidnap my brother even though she knew you were in King's Landing. Ed, do you think you're going to survive today?"

"Killer of kings, if you kill me, your brother will not escape death. ”

Jaime laughed, "That's right, Lord Eddard, but I think someone should send a message to your lady that the Lannisters have debts to pay, is she stupid or has been lonely since she was a child, hasn't she heard the saying that Lannisters have debts to pay?"

"Yes, Sir Jaime. ”

"Leave Lord Eddard alive, and slaughter his three dogs!" Jaime ordered leisurely, and then Lema walked away.

Boom!

Ed's sword is unsheathed, and Vail and Haihua are also swords unsheathed.

Demon Mountain slowly drew out the giant sword, he slowly moved forward, looked at Ed's calm and nervous expression, and said lightly: "Lord Eddard, winter is coming, I warned you!" He immediately stepped back and shouted, "Brothers of Clegane, kill the three guards of Lord Eddard. ”

"No!" yelled Eddard.

However, the Cregan soldiers quickly surrounded them. Eddard swung his sword and charged, his horse leaping high, the steel horseshoe of its front hooves striking a soldier in the face, the sound of bones shattering. The long sword slashed like lightning, slashing through several spears that stabbed at them, but more spears pierced them, and they didn't dare to stab Ed's body, but they could stab the horse.

In just an instant, Ed's war horse was shot several times in the neck and abdomen.

Ed roared, and with a flash of cold light, the long sword slashed at a soldier's helmet, and the steel helmet split in half, choking the soldier's face with blood, and the soldier staggered to his knees, but at the same time, Ed's horse's leg was also cut off by a sword.

The horse fell with a bang, and Ed rolled over and landed, splashing on the ground.

Angai on his horse looked hesitant, his longbow was already buckled, but he had a good impression of Lord Eddard, and he knew that if the arrow was fired, he would be in the same stream and there would be no turning back.

Ed turned over and fell off his horse, and before he could stand up, he saw Vail being torn off his horse with many hands, his horse was pierced by many spears, and countless short swords fell on Will's body, the sword rose and fell, the sword fell and the sword rose, and in the blink of an eye, Vail became a bloody man.

Haihua rode a horse to save Weil, the long sword slashed, cutting down two Clegane soldiers one after another, suddenly, a spear pierced his abdomen, Haihua's body shook violently, and several spears pierced his body Haihua's long sword fell, and the person also fell down with a bang, and the water on the street splashed the waves

Ed was terrified, and the four knights of Demon Mountain, Ange, and Clegane were all sitting upright on their horses, motionless.

Ed got up, Jory had already made a bloody path, he saw Lord Eddard, immediately reined in his horse back, raised his long sword, cut several spears, the front hooves of the war horse were raised, the horseshoe was made of steel, and kicked the enemy's head, however, the Cregan soldiers rolled away from the ground, avoiding the war horse, several long swords were slashed on the ground, the horse's legs were cut off, Jory fell from the horse, and before he got up, several long swords, several spears were stabbed on Jory's body, Jory let out a miserable scream, and bright red blood gushed out

Ed roared, raised his sword and rushed towards the soldiers who were slashing Jory, when suddenly the sound of horses' hooves behind him sounded rapidly, and a strong force slammed into his back, and he soared into the air, like a straw, over the horse corpses, stumps, human corpses, wounded soldiers, blood and stagnant water on the ground, and smashed down in front of the four Klegon knights' warhorses
