Joffrey couldn't believe it, he just felt that the boatman's roar was like thunder, he couldn't think, he couldn't move, he couldn't refute, he was confused. He even suspected it was a nightmare.

Everything is so incredible!

I don't know how long it took, but Joffrey felt like he was floating in the clouds, and the sound of the waves seemed empty and distant.

It wasn't until a basin of seawater poured down from his head that Joffrey came to his senses, half of his face was hot, and half of his body was numb.

The boatman's slap was too heavy.

Tomorrow, half of Joffrey's face will be swollen high, and his handsome face will be ugly.

"You dare to hit me? I'm Joffrey Baratheon. I am your king. Joffrey groaned, unemboldened, and unimposing.

The boatman stared at him viciously, and suddenly laughed: "Bastard, you are Joffrey, then I am the little devil." He kicked the oars with his foot, "Row a boat for Lao Tzu, if you dare to say half a word, I will cut off one of your fingers first." ”

The sails of the boat eat the wind, and it is when the wind and water are smooth, and the speed of the boat is very fast, and there is no need to paddle.

But the boatman loved to torture people, and he stared at the boy's face, and the threat in his eyes was obvious.

Joffrey's white hands grabbed the oars for the first time, and he plunged the pulp into the sea, and the water swelled, and the reaction force almost lifted the inexperienced Joffrey into the water.

Joffrey 'lost his face' and the boatman laughed.

The boatman had no beard, his accent was indistinguishable, his muscles were all over, his eyes were vicious, his hands were thick and his feet were thick, half of his right ear was left, he didn't know who had cut it with a knife, and there were many sword scratches on his exposed arms. The wound healed like a knotted reddish centipede.

"Pretty boy, as long as you are obedient, you don't have to paddle or suffer. The boatman laughed and stretched out a hand to lift Joffrey's chin, "Tut-tut, this face, sold to the free trade city-state, those aristocratic old thieves with quirks like it, and Lao Tzu will get rich." ”

Joffrey was once a king and was born into a royal family, so he immediately understood the meaning of this man's words, in Westeros, there are also noble lords who like male pets. He remembered the humiliating words of a man in gorgeous clothes who had insulted him on the shore not long ago, and his heart was cold.

At this point, he was finally sure that he had been sold by the Kingsguards Marin Tran and Mandon Moore. No wonder the two fellows had dismissed the golden-robed guards, disguised themselves and secretly led him out of Lannisport and on board the unknown ship.

Joffrey didn't understand why Marin Tran and Mandon Moore had sold themselves, why they hadn't sold themselves to Eddard Stark if they were for revenge, why they hadn't just stabbed themselves and fled.

"I'm Joffrey Baratheon, my grandfather is Tywin Lannister, my uncle is Jaime Lannister, and my mother is Cersei Lannister. Joffrey said with a winc.

"Three hundred golden dragons?" the boatman's eyes widened, revealing a greedy glint "Are you Joffrey, why don't you have a jeweled ring on your hand, and no family crest on your chest?" He grabbed Joffrey by the shoulders and pulled him up from the ship, almost lifting him off the ground, "You are a male favorite of the Mullen family in Lannisham, you have won the favor of your master because of your handsome slander, and you have always framed your servants and guards who do not like you, and now your retribution has come, you have been sold by two of your master's guards, do you know how much I paid?"

"How much?"

"Two coppers. Those two guards hated you to the bone, and only asked me for two coppers, one for each of them, haha, in their eyes, you are not even worth the price of a pot of fine wine. ”

Joffrey stumbled.

The boatman's arms were strong, and Joffrey, though young, was tall and tall, and the man carried Joffrey as if he were carrying a toy puppet.

He couldn't understand why Marin Tran and Mandon Moore had given up protecting him to the Iron Isles and had chosen to sell him, the Kingsguard was the highest honor among knights, and where would they hide if they sold the king?

"Come in with Lao Tzu and let me try your male pet skills. You remember to Lao Tzu, if you serve Lao Tzu well, I won't beat you. ”

Joffrey's mind exploded, and there were so many little stars in front of him, and the wicked man was going to force him to please him.

The boatman couldn't help but say, and pushed Joffrey into the cabin. Joffrey's eyes were on the boatman's dagger with a dagger hanging from his waist, and he knew that he had to kill with one blow, or he would be the one who died.

Although Joffrey is a bastard, but his cheap dad Robert Baratheon is a fierce general, martial arts, Joffrey has to follow the royal head to practice martial arts under the cheap dad's eyes, only when the cheap dad goes out hunting, under the care of his mother Cersei, he dares to spend the time practicing martial arts to fly eagles and fight horses.

Joffrey's martial arts are mediocre, but the basic skills used in swords and daggers are still there, and the boatman didn't take a noble man's male pet in his eyes, he pushed down Joffrey, unbuttoned his pants, and exposed the place that should not be exposed in front of Joffrey: "Quick, let Lao Tzu cool first, otherwise Lao Tzu will beat you to death and throw you into this sea." ”

Joffrey half-sat up, endured the nausea, first complied with the boatman's wishes, moved with his left hand, and then jerked out the dagger with his right hand, and stabbed it into the boatman's lower abdomen......

The dagger is razor-sharp, and the boatman is a pirate in the Sunset Sea, and it is he who is driving back into the pirate fleet. Forced by the strength of Tywin's fleet, the pirate ship was thrown far away from Lanniport to ensure safety. In order to plunder, the pirates only dared to send small ships into Lannisport to reconnoiter the situation of merchant ships.

The pirates who survived with their knives licking their blood were sharpened with their weapons, and they had to fight not only with the merchant ships, but also with the regular fleets, and when they shared the spoils and drank, they also had to fight with their own people, and the sharpness of the weapons was a must.

In the screams of the boatman, the short dagger in Joffrey's hand stabbed wildly, the boatman staggered back, Joffrey jumped up, grabbed the opponent's waist with his left hand, and kept stabbing with his right hand.

The mighty boatman was like a pierced balloon, his strength and energy poured out in the gushing of blood, and his eyes soon revealed despair and emptiness, and Joffrey hated these eyes, and when the boatman fell down, his dagger pierced the boatman's eyes, and he pierced both eyes with a dagger.

Joffrey loved blood, and once made a bet that in order to verify how many children the mother cat was carrying in her belly, he dissected the cat, and picked out the cat's babies one by one with the tip of a knife, and arranged them for his father, Robert Baratheon, to see, but Robert beat him half to death, and if Cersei hadn't heard the news, he thought his father would have beaten him to death. Since then, every time he has used a knife to dissect a pregnant cat or a to test his inference, he has been carrying his father Robert's eyes behind his back.

Joffrey killed the boatman, covered in blood, and his face showed no fear, but a strange brilliance...... He stuck his tongue out and licked the blood off his arm, the first time he had tasted human blood...... Fresh blood from animals such as cat blood and dog blood, he has tasted too much...... human blood, this is the first time......

Hall of Heroes.

Eddard Stark sat tall with Will the Man in Black on his right, Duke Horst, Lord of the Riverlands on his left, and the nobles of the three lands pressed by Black behind him: House Stark in Winterfell, House Amber in Fireheart, House Bolton the Skinners in Fort Terror, House C. Stark in Caron, House Glover in Fort Forest, House Mormont in Bear Island, House Severn in Winterfell less than half a day's ride...... The leader of the Ash Tribe of the Great Wall of Desperation......

Vale - The Royce family of Runestone, the Cobray family with the famous sword Lady Silence, the Redford family of Red Bases, the Bonnell family, the Graffson family, the Temple Burton family of Nine Star City, the Arryn family of Seagull Town......

Riverlands – The Tully Family, the Frey Family, the Mellister Family of Seafrontier City, the Smallwood Family of Acorn Hall, the Blaywood Family of Raventree City, the Muton Family of Springs City, and the Piper Family of Pink City......

The lords of the three places are all together, and there are many outstanding talents among them.

And in front of Eddard Stark, on the corridor of the Hall of Heroes, there are people kneeling on one knee - Tywin Lannister, Kayvon Lannister, the Malbran family with the burning tree as their family crest, the Layden family, the Lannister family in Lannishaven, the Kenin family in the town of Cetcher, and the Craich family in the Chicken Hall......

Eddard Stark said lightly: "Duke Tywin, on behalf of Stannis I, I accept your surrender, but to my regret, you did not hand over Joffrey I, which proves that your sincerity is not enough. ”

"Joffrey is king, but he is not from the Baratheon family, and the Westside submits, but Joffrey is missing, which is clearly and counterproductive. Duke Horst said.

Mullen Lannister knelt down on one knee and said, "Lord Eddard, Joffrey was taken away by the Kingsguard in Lannishaven, and he was seen on a small ship, and according to the investigation afterwards, the people who sent Joffrey on board were none other than the white-robed knights he brought with him from King's Landing, Marin Tran and Mandon Moore. ”

Ed, Will, and Duke Horst exchanged glances with each other.

"Marin and Mandon took Joffrey to the boat, what do they want to do?"

"Marin and Mandon have sold Joffrey to the pirates of the Sunset Sea, who are closely associated with the slave traders of the free city-states, and I have sent the fleet of Lannisport to chase the small ships, and I must find Joffrey. ”

Whether it is the nobles of the alliance of the three places or the nobles of the Western Realm, there is a commotion!

Will said, "Lord Mullen, did Marlin and Mandon get on the boat with Joffrey and leave?"

"According to the investigation after the incident, Marin and Manden have fled ashore in the direction of the forest to the south, and we have sent scouts to chase Marin and Manden, and we must arrest them. ”

Eddard Stark said in a deep voice, "Lord Mulen, I believe you are telling the truth, Robb Stark. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"You take fifty scouts from the north and track down Marin Tran and Manden Moore to the east. ”

"Yes, sir!"

Robb Stark stepped out of the queue, his Icewolf Grey Wind following him closely, and Grey Wind bared his teeth at the kneeling nobles of the West, causing them to collectively let out a horrified cry.

"Adam Malbran. ”

Adam, kneeling among the nobles of the West, stood up and walked out of the queue.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency. ”

"Thou hast led fifty rebukes and pursued Marin Tran and Mandon Moore along the west. ”

"Yes, sir!"

"Mullen Lannister. ”

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency. ”

"You lead the Clippers in two routes, tracking down Marin Tran and Mandon Moore along the northern and southern routes of the Sea of Sunset, as well as Joffrey. ”

"Yes, sir!"

"Duke Tywin. ”

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency. ”

"Take your courtiers with me to King's Landing and ask Stannis I for pardon for your rebellion. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"Sir Kevon!"

"The minister is here. ”

"You have three days, gather a thousand skilled miners, and go to Dragonstone Island with Lord Will to mine the dragon crystals on the island. to create obsidian arrows and daggers to deal with the ghosts outside the Great Wall. ”

As soon as these words came out, the nobles were collectively restless, and the voices of discussion rose one after another.

"Yes, my lord!" said Kevon, respectfully.

"Strange spirits have appeared outside the Great Wall of Desperation, and the first knight to be killed by the strange spirit was Sir Weimar Royce, the youngest child of Lord Bronze Jon Royce. Eddard Stark said, "Like all of you, when I first heard that the Wraith had appeared outside the Great Wall, I didn't believe it, and I almost killed Lord Will who came to report it. ”

Will said: "The long summer will pass, and when winter and night come, the strange spirits will come from the land of eternal winter outside the Great Wall of Desperation, which has been built for 8,000 years and is known as one of the Nine Wonders of the World. ”

The noble knights were restless again, and the chatter grew louder and louder.

Eddard Stark said, "In the name of Stannis I of House Baratheon, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Guardian of the Seven Kingdoms, Lord of Baratheon, I, Duke of Winterfell and Warden of the North, Warden of the East, Hand of the Eternal King, Eddard of House Stark, hereby requests that the nobles of the Westlands send an advance army to join the Blackcoat Legion of the Wall of Despair led by Lord Will and Lord Mormont. ”

The voices of the nobles of the Western Realm discussing strange ghosts suddenly fell silent.

Everyone looked at each other, and refused to send troops to the hands of Lord Will, Earl of Dragonstone.

Eddard Stark said, "Don't be alarmed, lords of the West, both the North and the Vale will send an army into the hands of Lord Will. Winter has arrived, strange ghosts are coming, and no one can stay out of it. ”

The nobles of the north were calm, while the nobles of the valley were in an uproar.

The tough-hearted Bronze Jon is the first to jump up against Eddard Stark, questioning the authenticity of the Wraith.

Eddard Stark said: "Bronze Jon, the patriarch of the Royce family, now I order you, with the authority of the Prime Minister of the country, to complete the formation of your valley army in three days, and hand it over to Lord Will to take to the Great Wall of Desperation to garrison, there must be no mistake!"
