Chapter 159 158. Welcome to try
Robert is an out-and-out hot-tempered person, and once his anger rises, no one can suppress it.
Maybe as the adoptive father's former Prime Minister, Lord Jon Arryn, he can, but the old man has died abnormally.
Ed didn't even dare to reveal this news to Robert, because if he was not careful, it would cause turmoil in the kingdom.
Both Eddard and Baelish were driven out of the king's tent.
This time the king asked two attendants to fasten his armor tightly, and he had to stuff in the fat on his belly.
If it doesn’t work, ask the blacksmith to come over and knock it on site.
Standing outside the king's tent, Eddard had a cold face and tried not to let himself look at Petyr Baelish.
If Lan En had pointed out the problem with this man, Ed would probably have thought that this was just an example of trying to flatter the king and himself, but the flattery had the opposite effect because he did not understand his character.
Baelish made mistakes and caused trouble, but it was not intentional. So with Ed's emphasis on honor and rules, he probably wouldn't even get angry at Baelish.
You will only get sulky and swallow a bitter taste.
But now, Ed can clearly feel that this guy has accurately grasped Robert's submissive character, and then deliberately played the opposite to provoke him to play!
In the past, Ed would probably have asked straight to the point, regardless of the situation.
But the information and vision Lan En brought him allowed him to know what King's Landing was.
So now, the Prime Minister is trying hard not to look at Baelish and to keep his voice calm.
"The king can't stop me. I have to make arrangements for the game later. Say goodbye."
After separating from Baelish, Ed immediately began to look for Lan in the camp.
Fortunately, although the Prime Minister's family did not stay at the competition ground last night, the tent was still set up. After all, the status was there.
So when Ed wanted to find Lan En, he easily found the young man chatting with other members of the escort team in the remaining tent.
"Jingze? Is it near the place where you and I met? The specialty beast is the lizard. If I have a chance, I will hunt one. Is its venom as exaggerated as you said?"
"Are there giants further north? Ah, I guess I won't go there. It's too far."
When Ed opened the thick curtain of the tent and went in, the first thing he saw was the Lan En was checking the armor's link buckle, and the escorts were chatting with him in a circle.
Thanks to his increasingly refined yet heroic appearance, as well as his habit of listening to everyone’s hometown specialties, which is the habit of collecting information on alchemy materials.
Lan En is now very popular among the guards. Everyone likes to chat with him.

"Lan En, come out for a moment." Ed stood at the door and opened the curtain to speak.
The guards were not nervous when they saw the adults coming, but they still dispersed the circle.
Lan En walked from the crowd to Ed and followed him out to a secluded corner.
"What's the matter?"
Lan asked Ed.
"I have collected a batch of the exotic animal and plant materials you asked for, and they are now in the basement of the Prime Minister's Tower. You can take a look when you get back."
"Hmm, then?"
Lan Encai didn't believe it. This kind of thing that had been discussed in public for a long time and was well known to everyone had to be taken out alone to inform him.
As expected, Ed pursed his lips and spoke with helplessness and anger.
“After the group competition, the king will appear.”
The witcher raised his brows, "You didn't stop him?"
"I stopped him, I was even about to stop him! But Robert's anger was stirred up by Baelish again. Lann, Baelish There must be a purpose for King Xi to end! I want you to protect him."
Lan En frowned and remained silent.
The intention of provoking the king to participate in a group competition is very obvious. He must attack the king in the process.
The reason why Petyr Baelish was so easily seen through by Ed this time was because Ed had already known the dirty information about him and had a sufficient understanding of his character.
Without this layer, even if the king died on the spot in the tournament, he would at best be condemned for talking too much, and no one would suspect him.
And Ed can't tell the king all the truth at this time and let him know that he is in danger. Because Ed's fundamental purpose is to maintain the stability of the kingdom, if he tells the king about this, it will inevitably involve the abnormal death of the former prime minister, and a lot of related things.
The kingdom will also be in chaos.
In a split second, Lan En contacted Mentos to think logically and had things figured out.
Lan En turned his head and looked at the warriors in the distance who were gearing up to enter the group competition venue.
There is black mud hanging on the face and neck, and the body odor is very strong even if you smell it. In the hand is a long sword or a warhammer, a flail, and various shields.
Most of them are made of cheap protective gear such as chainmail and leather armor.
There are a few knights, all with shiny plate armor, and cloaks with family crests on their shoulders.
In short——
You are a local chicken and a tile dog, a person who sells his head by inserting labels.
"There should be no problem in keeping the king, but we have to make an agreement first."
Lan En smiled indifferently.
"I will not give up the position of champion to the king."
Ed breathed a sigh of relief after Lan En agreed.
I don't know since when, he has placed great trust in this man who showed up with his daughter halfway. Whether it is character or ability.
"Ha, you'd better win the championship. Robert loves the warrior more than his wife! If you beat him down in an upright manner, not only will you get the prize money and reputation, but also the keel you have always wanted. It’s no longer a problem. He can even give you all the bones of Balerion, the Black Death!”
“When I conquered King’s Landing with him, he wiped out all the bones of the Targaryen family! The castle is underground. If you ask, he will definitely give it.”
The reward for this commission is really good.
Although Lan En is limited by the environment, he has not yet begun to conduct alchemical research on the dragon bone.
But its abundant growth power alone is enough to prove that this is an extremely valuable material.
The emcee's horn sounded, indicating that the group competition was about to begin.
In the distance, the group of mercenaries, warriors, and wandering knights could not wait to rush into the surrounding competition venue.
Lan En also waved to Ed and walked over.
The crowd is cheering, they are cheering for the most intense and bloody scene they will see today.
Then, the entire audience suddenly fell silent.
Lan En, who was walking into the field, turned his head and saw, as expected, the king who had already put on armor and was holding a huge two-handed war hammer, standing on the high platform where he had watched the battle yesterday.
Then, he raised the hammer in his hand towards the audience.
Then the silent cheers suddenly exploded with twice the intensity as before!
“The king is here! The king is here!”
"That's the warhammer that killed Prince Rhaegar Targaryen! Oh my God! It's so big!"
Robert walked down the platform step by step, enjoying the cheers and the upcoming fierce battle.
Just then, Lan En was walking in front of him.
"Aha! The boy who defeated [Hound]! Let's try our hand today!"
"Maybe you should challenge to stand at the end first?"
".Hey, are you standing at the end? Let's see if I don't give you a shot for a while!"
"Welcome to try."
