Chapter 164 163. Time difference
"My lady, Catherine. It was she who sent the dragonbone dagger here. She believed Baelish's words and met Tyrion on the way back to the North. Lannister. She is a mother, and there is no way she can bear it when faced with someone trying to murder her son."
"That place happens to be the Riverlands, her father's fiefdom, so she simply calls for help. "Tie up that Lannister!"
Ed quickly told Lan En the general story of the matter, giving this young man who had no idea about the Seven Kingdoms some advance information.
Lan En is still a little confused at the moment.
After all, just half a minute ago, he was still immersed in the excitement and joy that he had discovered a secret that could subvert the power structure of the entire continent, and this was enough to ensure the stable life of the Stark family, and it was about to be over.
However, half a minute later, Ed directly told him that the fight was about to begin.
"No. Just tied up someone! Haven't done anything yet?! It's not that big of a deal, right?"
What about the negotiations? What about compromise? What about transactions?
Don’t you go through the standard process? !
Are you a noble?
Mr. Lan, a young man from the countryside, felt that he was shocked again.
Who has a table full of delicacies from all over the world and orders them over a gas stove just because he lacks a pair of chopsticks?
"You don't understand the current head of Lannister."
Ed also wiped his face hard with his hands, slightly going crazy.
"Tywin Lannister is a man who values family honor more than anything else. He doesn't care about Tyrion Lannister at all. What he cares about is someone taking action against the Lannister family!"
"Whoever dares to take action, he will make that person unable to do anything again! The Lannister family's gold mountain gives him this confidence! Now, he has begun to mobilize the army!"
彳庍! You guys are so cool here!
Lan En complained a little in his heart, and immediately thought of the most important thing at the moment -
The time difference.
"Did you receive the news quickly?"
After calming down, Lan pulled Ed out and asked quickly as he walked.
The time difference caused by intelligence is very important.
The current configuration of military forces in King's Landing is strange.
There are about 2,000 gold-robed troops serving as city guards, and the Lannister family’s private armed forces allocated to the queen include more than 500!
Lan En also had some impressions of what the golden robe looked like these days. This group of people might still have some integrity and combat effectiveness when the army was first established.
But looking at it now, they are all a group of guys who give convenience to whoever gives them more money.
This is still the case today when the king has been assassinated and is still healthy. They can still use it with someone suppressing him.
If something happens to the king, these people will probably pay for the life of the one with more money!
According to Eddard, the Lannister family has a mountain of gold!
Originally, according to Lan En's knowledge, even a family war should not involve the Kingdom's Prime Minister.
Because Ed is the Prime Minister of the Kingdom above his status as the head of the Stark family.
Taking action against the Prime Minister of the Kingdom in King's Landing is not directly a rebellion?
But Lannister's move to directly mobilize his troops really taught Lan a lesson.
Not everyone will play games according to rules and conventions.
Some people just like to get gains from flipping tables, even if they know that the harm caused by flipping tables is most of the time greater than the benefits.
So Ed, and the entire people in the Prime Minister's Tower, are in danger now.
Five hundred Lannister private soldiers are enough to kill everyone here except Lan En.
They must get the king's order back before the queen mobilizes the Lannister private soldiers, and directly use the golden robe to fight against the Lannister private soldiers.
Lan En's hand was holding Ed, and the other hand was holding the book "The Genealogy and History of the Main Nobles of the Seven Kingdoms".
"We have to tell the king what I found before the queen reacts, and let him attack the Lannister first!"
Edd doesn't know much about power struggles, but after all, he has been A general who leads the side in the War of the Reavers.
After switching his thinking to battlefield mode, he immediately became decisive.
He gave orders to Jory Kelso who was following behind him without looking back. "Lan and I will go find the king. You and the rest of the group will guard the Prime Minister's Tower. Remember! Defend according to battlefield standards!"
As soon as these words came out, Qiao Li knew that he didn't care about the appearance of the Prime Minister's Tower.
Put on your armor directly, and there will be piles of horses and debris at the door! The family members, both male and female, who were unable to fight, gathered together and evaded first.
"Understood, my lord."
The guard captain ran to inform his men.
Lan En and Ed also went downstairs again and mounted their horses.
"You finished reading that book in such a short time? What's in it?"
Ed asked Lan as he turned the horse around.
No matter what, it is a book with hundreds of pages. It is too fast!
"I said, I have some experience in reading."
The two of them coincidentally rode towards the main road leading to the competition venue.
Judging from the time, the archery competition should be over by now, and Robert is on his way back.
Lan En did not beat around the bush and directly told Ed what he had discovered.
"Papa, this book contains a record of the marriage between Lannister and Baratheon! More than once!"
Lan patted the tome fixed on the horse. , said to Ed.
"Those children all have black hair and black eyes! Without exception! In other words, none of the current crown princes are the king's biological children!"
".What the hell!"
When Ed heard this conclusion, his eyes were so wide that they almost popped out of their sockets.
“That’s why my adoptive father went to find Robert’s bastard son! That’s why he borrowed this book!?”
If the answer was obtained before Tyrion’s incident, then Eddard might privately let Cersei leave with the children first, or at least let the innocent children leave.
Because he knew that his brother would really kill children if he went crazy.
But the current time no longer allowed him to hesitate.
Lan En looked up to the sky, and his eyesight beyond that of a mortal allowed him to see several more ravens flying into the sky of King's Landing.
Time is running out.
Although Stark has a lead in information because he is one of the participants in the kidnapping, compared with the upright Northerners, the intelligence work of other families is undoubtedly better.
The news of Tyrion Lannister's kidnapping came about an hour later than Stark's Raven.
Lan En and Eddard galloped out of King's Landing and met Robert halfway.
At this time, this fat and strong man was wearing a bandage around his waist and was drinking wine.
But he was still riding a horse instead of sitting in a car. Even every bump of the horse's hoof would make the corner of his mouth twitch.
But he is still riding on the horse like this.
He is a king. After experiencing the assassination, he wants to prove that he is still strong. There is no more convincing way than riding into the city.
Robert saw Lan En and Eddard riding over from a long distance away. The precious Qingting Island red wine was sprinkled on his lips.
"Aha! Isn't this our king's hand and the swordsman who saved the king! Why is he back?"
But soon, Robert's cheerful smile could not be maintained. .
Because he saw Ed’s bitter face.
The Duke of the North often has a bitter look on his face, but Robert, who knows him well, knows very well——
The vigilance before the war and the embarrassment of the situation can be clearly distinguished on Ed's face.
Only he can tell the difference.
