Chapter 0359: Bolong enters the urn
King's Landing East of the City, and out of the steel gate, is Rosby Road. Two miles outside the city was the domain of the Earl of Garsrosby, the king's domain. Lady Tanda was the aunt of the Earl of Rossby, and her family's castle, Fort Stoucwood, was not far from Castle Roseby, and the two families were close to each other.
During the period when Tyrell the Littlefinger suddenly cut off the food supply, Galcrosby and Lady Tanda took on the responsibility of the food supply in King's Landing and the Red Keep, which made Cersei fully realize the importance of the nobility of the royal realm, so Count Garsby and Countess Tanda quickly became Cersei's close friends in one day.
Lady Tanda takes the opportunity to approach Cersei, intent on becoming Cersei's henchman. She had a similar experience with Cersei, both happily having lost her husband, and she thought she could understand Cersei's mind and gain more political status and other indescribable benefits for the Stowalkers.
Lady Tanda and her mentally handicapped daughter Loris lived in Maegar House before the riots in King's Landing, and after learning of the political feud between Cersei and the Imp, Lady Tanda naturally chose to take sides.
At the instigation of the Magic Mountain, Lady Tanda and Cersei, who are both unscrupulous but consider themselves unsurpassedly intelligent, have a plan to lure Bronn away from the imp Tyrion and then kill Bronn in Stoarkworthburg.
Emily's Brothel.
As soon as Bo Long stripped himself and threw himself on the soft bed of Hongxiang, a woman without clothes pushed the door with a smile, and Ji Ma, who was lying on Bo Long and bullying Bo Long, turned her head when she heard the sound, and saw her good sister coming over in small steps: "What's the matter, Dinah!"
Dina ate and laughed and peeked at Bolon, whispering in Dina's ear, the two women were looking at Boron with strange eyes, and then Jima got up, slid down from Bolon's body like a fish, grabbed her clothes, the two women ate and laughed, slipped out of the door, and gently closed the door in the sound of Bolon's feeding.
Boron sat up in amazement, and for some reason, he was about to scold, Cocoa, when there was a knock on the door.
Boron immediately grabbed the scabbard next to the bed and held the hilt of the sword in his hand: "Who?"
"Maester Franconia. A voice outside the door said.
"Maester Franconia, I don't know you. Polon said.
"May I come in, mercenary!" the voice was neither humble nor high-pitched.
Boron jumped to the ground with agility, choked on the sword from its sheath, and prepared for the fight: "Then come in!"
The door was slowly pushed open, and an old man in a bachelor's robe stood outside, with no soldiers behind him.
Bolong Chiguoguo faced the bachelor: "I'm not interested in men, and I'm even more unappetizing to bachelors." β
"Mercenary, can you put away your sword first?"
"You've disturbed me, Bachelor. β
Maester Franconia entered, closed the door, and turned, facing Bronn and his sword. He stood quietly, looking at Boron very quietly.
Boron looked at his long sword, looked at the weak bachelor, he grabbed the scabbard next to the bed, and the long sword returned to the sheath: "Bachelor, if you have a fart, release it quickly." β
Francon was unhurried, and pointed to the gorgeous softness beside the bed: "Mercenary, can I sit down?"
Bolong could clearly sense that this maester had the kind of contempt that the nobles had for him, and the maestro did not call him by his name all the time.
However, Boronn has been accustomed to this kind of contempt for decades, so he is indifferent: "Old fellow, don't be too late, this is a brothel, and Lao Tzu paid for it." β
Franken sat down: "Mercenary ......"
"My name is Bolon!" Boron sat down on the bed. The stinging fruit was aimed at the bachelor's face.
"Bolon, can I put on your pants?"
"No, old fellow, if you talk again, I'll throw you out. β
"You're not going to throw me out. β
Boron jumped to the ground and reached out to grab the Bachelor's shoulder, his hand commanding the Bachelor to feel as hard as an iron hook.
"I'm here to give you a great fortune, Bolon. "Maester Franconia has finally changed color.
"What bullshit rich?"
Bronn picked the maester up and strode to the door.
"Lady Tanda's daughter......" said the Bachelor, "Countess Tanda has taken a fancy to you, and wants to marry her daughter to you. β
Boron stopped.
The words Countess's daughter had a dark magic for him.
"Which countess's daughter?"
"Lady Tanda. β
"I'm not familiar with her. β
"She knows you, Bolon. β
"She won't know me either, anyway, who sent you, and what are you trying to do to me?" the Bolons are very shrewd, but not so easy to deceive. The people who deceived Boron before this are basically dead.
"You are the personal bodyguard of the Prime Minister, and in King's Landing, I bet that there are very few people who don't know the Bolon warriors, whether they are ordinary people or courtiers. β
This made Bronn feel very good when he heard this, and he felt that the bad old bachelor had told the truth.
So Boron released the bachelor, looked at the bachelor, and said nothing.
"Lady Tanda's daughter, Loris......"
"That mentally handicapped woman who was cornered by a dozen mobs during the King's Landing riot and was found on Steel Street the next day and night?"
"Well, Loris's not mentally retarded, she's naΓ―ve and pure. β
"Tough by a dozen mobs and still pure?" Bolon laughed.
"Well, that's not to blame her, she's innocent, and the Seven Gods can testify. β
"Well, Lady Tanda wants to throw her old, retarded, obese, tainted chastity by a dozen mobs, and destined to marry her daughter like garbage?
Boron walked sideways past the Bachelor, opened the door to the room, and stared at the Bachelor like a butcher staring at a fat pig to be slaughtered.
The bachelor slowly walked out the door: "Dowry, Bolon, a large dowry that you can't earn as a mercenary in your life?"
Boron reached out and pressed the bachelor's chest, and closed the door with the other hand: "How much dowry?"
"You can't earn a dowry as a mercenary all your life, Bolon. Although Loris, unfortunate enough to have her chastity tarnished by the mob, she is the daughter of the countess, think of it, mercenary. And as long as you agree to marry Loris, Lady Tanda will ask Her Majesty the Queen Mother to grant you a knight. β
"I promised!" said Borron. He returned to the bed and reached for his pants.
"But there could be a problem. β
"What's the trouble?" said Bronn as he quickly slipped on his shorts.
"Prime Minister, after all, you are the Prime Minister's personal bodyguard. And the Prime Minister may not have a good opinion of Mrs. Tanda. β
"There's nothing wrong with that. Bronn put on his trousers and picked up his underwear, "My relationship with the half-man is very clear, I didn't sell myself to him, and I'm not a vassal of the Lannisters, he gave me money, and I worked for him." Now I don't want his money, my life is mine, I'm free, I can go whenever I want, anytime, anywhere. β
"But the Prime Minister may go to Madame Tanda's troubles. β
"Rest assured, there will be absolutely no trouble. Bronn put on his underwear and coat, put on leather armor, tied the sword belt, hung the long sword on the sword belt, took the dagger from under the pillow, stuck it in his boots, took out a short knife, and hung the sword belt, "Dear Master Franconia, please take me to Lady Tanda." β
Lady Tanda and Loris sat in the carriage, followed by Bollon, Maester Franconia, the captain of the family guard, Bob Storkworth, and more than twenty family soldiers.
Bronn was in a good mood, and after bragging with the captain of the guard, Bob Storkworth Knight, about not speculating, he was not depressed, whistling to lead the way in front of the carriage.
It was as if he had thought of himself as a member of the Stonecks.
The fiancΓ©e's belly bulged slightly, obviously pregnant, but it was not Bolon's cub, and Boron had not yet had a chance to lie on Loris's belly to cultivate and sow seeds.
Loris and Bronn had a simple engagement in King's Landing, and then Lady Tanda said goodbye to Queen Cersei and returned to Fort Stowalker with her daughter and son-in-law to get married.
On the day trip, the carriage entered the territory of Stoecoworth from Rossby Road.
As the sun set, Bronn saw a very large circular fortress in front of him, Fort Stoucwood.
The nobles of the royal domain were very wealthy, first of all, they were the closest to King's Landing, no matter what kind of business, whether it was land or water, they had geographical convenience.
Second, the royal realm is the first barrier to protect the royal family, and the nobles in the royal realm will have an advantage over the nobles in other realms in politics and trade.
When Boron saw Fort Stohawkworth, he fell in love with the huge round fortress.
But he had no ambition to get such a castle, and when he married Loris, he would receive a large dowry, as well as a small plot of land and a few houses for temporary shelter, and when the wedding was completed, Lady Tanda would go to the Queen Cersei to plead for the title of Bronn.
Bronn wished he could at least become a knight. He slain many knights under his sword, but he himself was a mercenary with no status. He made a small fortune following Tyrion, but Tyrion had no intention of making him a knight.
The half-man thinks that he is only for money, lacks loyalty and faith, and the relationship between them is that of money and trade, Tyrion gives him money, he works for Tyrion, Tyrion's money cannot buy Bolon's loyalty, and Boron does not expect Tyrion to make him a knight.
Both of them saw through each other's prices, so they tacitly adhered to their own rules.
But the hand of fate is about to open the door to Bolon's happiness: he officially marries Loriss in Fort Storockworth, and after sowing the hot seeds into Loris's fat land, he will become a knight and obtain a fief in the king's domain, and from then on say goodbye to the fate of mercenaries licking blood and live a rich and handsome life with assets.
No matter what you think, the mercenary Bolon is happy. As for Lady Tanda's captain of the guard, Bob, who was contemptuous of him, Bronn didn't care. Marrying a mentally handicapped woman in her thirties who had lost her virginity for the sake of a knighthood and money was a good deal for Bolon. The reason why Bob Storkworth Knight despised him for this is because Bob is a complete fool, and his helmeted head is full of shit!
In the last rays of the setting sun, the carriage drove into the majestic gate of Fort Stoucwood, flanked by two spearmen. The armor was distinct, and the tips of the spears shone with black light.
At the foot of the stairs of the gate, Bronn saw a good-looking aristocratic woman and a burly knight, who he knew was Loris's sister Farice Storkworth, and that the man she was holding her arm must be her husband, Sir Balmainbaych.
Mrs. Tanda had no sons, only two daughters, the eldest of whom was Farissdorkeworth, her heir. Bronn was envious of Sir Balmain, who was more fortunate than him, to marry an aristocratic beauty who would in the future own Stookwoodberg and a large territory.
Compared with Loris, Faris's beautiful figure, beautiful neck, delicate facial features, and the arrogance of an aristocratic woman make Bronn look and feel very charming.
Bolon could see that Balman Becky had severe fat in his lower abdomen, a short and thick neck, a double chin, and gray pupils. This guy is obese, and although he has a long sword hanging from his waist, he must be slow to react and clumsy in his movements. Presumably, at night, on the bed, Balmain's ability is certainly not as good as his Bolon.
Bronn sighed for Lady Faris!
The carriage stopped, and Bronn rolled over and dismounted, opening the curtain for Lady Tanda and Loris. He helped Mrs. Tanda out of the car, and then Loriss reached out for him to hug her, and he picked up Loris's fat body and gently placed her on the ground.
Loriss already knew that Polon was her fiancΓ©, and she looked at Polon with admiration, followed her sister's example, and took Bollon's hand. Ever since she got engaged, Loriss has relied heavily on Bollon. No matter what Polon said to her, Loris nodded innocently in agreement, just like a little girl's attachment to her father.
Boron found that Maester Franconia was right, that Loris was pure, innocent, and unscheming, like a seven-year-old girl.
Mrs. Tanda said, "Loris, be good, go in with your mother first." If you are so attached to Bolon, you will be laughed at by everyone. β
Loris looked at Boron childishly, and Boron smiled and nodded at him, and then she let go of Bolon's arm and walked into the castle with her mother. Loris turned back as she walked, smirking at Boron.
Sir Balmanbech stepped forward and held out his hand to Boron: "I am Sir Balmanbaich. β
"I'm Bolon. β
Bronn and Balmain's hands clasped together, Balmain pulled suddenly, Bronn staggered, and when he stood still, back and forth, left and right, the sword and spear aimed at his head, chest, lower abdomen, and back.
Bolon's whole body stiffened, and he didn't dare to move.
Balmain laughed, he let go of Bron's hand, Bronn didn't dare not let go, let go, Sir Balmain retreated, and his place was immediately filled by two pikemen.
Before leaving, the little devil told him that his marriage might not go well, and if anything happened, he asked Boron to remember how they escaped from the Eagle's Nest.
"Humiliate Sir Balmain and you'll get away with it, for that guy is an idiot!"
At that time, Boron didn't care about the little devil's words, he knew that the little devil didn't want him to leave, but he insisted on leaving, the little devil naturally wouldn't say anything nice, even if the little devil cursed his marriage to his face, Boron thought it should be. Of course, regardless of whether the little devil cursed and cursed or admonished with ulterior motives, Boron laughed.
It turned out that the little devil's words turned out to be true! The dwarf must have seen from the beginning that this was a conspiracy.
It's just that why this conspiracy is aimed at a little mercenary himself, and Madame Tanda is a countess, a celebrity and nobleman in the royal realm.
"What's going on, sir!" Bron's face changed.
"You are the Prime Minister's man, and on the orders of Queen Mother Cersei, I must kill you, mercenary. β
"I'm not the prime minister's man. "You're mistaken, the little devil gives me money, I do things for him, that's all." If Sir is willing to give me money, I will die for you. β
"The Queen Mother ordered, it's useless for you to quibble, the soldiers ......"
"Wait!" said Faris, on the side of the stairs, "Don't let his blood defile our gates, and don't let Loriss see his corpse, or Loriss will be sad, and God knows how long she will cry for this mercenary." Balmain, take him to the backyard and kill him. Phalyse looked at Bronn with a look of disgust, as if she had seen maggots in a dung pit.
This extreme contempt made Bronn very uncomfortable.
"I am not guilty, and you have no right to kill me. Bronn remembered the little devil's reminder to him, "Sir Balmain, I ask for a joust trial, the Seven Gods are above, if Sir Byrman is a coward, and the honor of the Bych family and the Stooakworth family is nothing but a pile of shit, then just cut off my head." β
Sure enough, as the little devil had predicted, Ser Balman Becky was furious: "Mercenary, I want you to know the sharpness of Balmain's sword, soldiers, let him go." β
The soldiers slowly retreated, choking, Sir Balmain's long sword unsheathed, the cold air was pressing, and the blade slipped out of the cold light.
A good sword!
Bronn was surprisingly clear at this time, and he remembered every word the little devil had said to him when he was parting, and the little devil said that the trial of the Eagle's Nest was during the day, but the jousting of Fort Stookwort was best at night.
Bronn didn't understand why the little devil would say that. At the time, he thought the little devil had become neurotic because of his sudden meteoric prowess.
But since the little devil had expected everything, there should be some truth in the words of that little bastard.
Bronn looked at the pikemen, the captain of the guard, Bob, and the swordsmen around him, even if he killed Balmain now, he wouldn't be able to kill all the soldiers, not to mention that there were at least three knights standing beside him.
"Sir, Dear Lady Faris, I propose that the jousting trial be held at night, after Loris's sleep. Loris, my legal fiancΓ©e, I don't want her to wait until dinner to find me, she's very pure, like a seven-year-old girl, she's also very attached to me, and she wants me to hug me when she gets out of the car. Bronn found himself possessed by the eloquence of the little devil, "Lady Faris, Loriss is innocent. Tomorrow morning, you can lie to her that there is something going on in King's Landing, and that I will return to the Red Keep by order from the Prime Minister in the evening. β
Balmain looked at Faris, Faris raised her swan-like neck, she looked at Bollon, her gaze changed, she raised Bollon's level from a maggot to a dead dog, she didn't move, she didn't make a sound, but Balmain had already received a message from Madame: "Okay, mercenary, I promised you a duel at night, but I will take away all your weapons now." β
Boron looked around at the surrounding array of soldiers and several knights who were eyeing each other, and he slowly raised his hands.
