Chapter 165 164. Running to King's Landing
Through understanding his good brother, King Robert was somewhat mentally prepared for the next shocking event.
But as a man and a king, what he is going to hear next is not something he can face calmly if he is mentally prepared.
Although Lan En is the person who understands the entire incident most clearly, he does not want to let this information pass to Robert from his own mouth.
Sometimes, good brothers say it to comfort, but outsiders say it to ridicule.
Lan En feels like an outsider.
Eddard slowed down his horse, turned around and kept pace with Robert, taking a moment to catch his breath to calm down the galloping horse.
"Hoo Robert, we have to find a quiet place to talk, at least go back to your carriage."
The king's fat face, a pair of eyes narrowed, but There was no yelling like before, saying 'men should ride on horses'.
On the contrary, he is very calm and rational.
"I've just been stabbed, Ed. At least a hundred people saw me being stabbed, and at least a thousand people are speculating on my physical condition. I can't go back to the house like I can't hold on at this time. On the carriage."
Ed stopped breathing in shock and looked up at his good brother.
He still looks rude and fearless, but at the same time, he does not look like his brain has been burned out by alcohol as he has shown in recent months.
This look made Ed feel nostalgic.
The battle involving life and death allowed Robert to regain some of his former courage.
"Then let's talk in a low voice."
Ed and Robert tacitly speeded up their horses slightly and distanced themselves from the followers behind them.
"How many people in King's Landing are you sure you can control now, so that they can fight against the Lannister forces in King's Landing?"
Ed's straightforward words made Robert put it down immediately. The wine bag that was about to be put to his mouth looked at him in shock.
"That's probably the gold robe. You have to know that among the seven personal Kingsguards, there are several Lannister followers. Who doesn't love gold? Lannister is unique. Gold.”
"You want to kill Lannister? Are you crazy, Eddard? Although I also hate Cersei, but if I kill her, then"
"The world will be in chaos! I know!" The Prime Minister pushed back the King's words irritably.
"But you know what, Robert? The world is in chaos now!"
Soon, Eddard told Robert the whole story that he didn't know.
The obstacles he encountered from the first day he took office as Prime Minister, the unnatural death of Jon Arryn, and then until today's search results of the Noble Bloodline.
When Robert heard that his and Eddard's common adoptive father, the former Prime Minister, had died abnormally, he had already squeezed the leather wine bag in his hand as if it was about to explode!
By the time Ed elaborated on the bloodline of his three current children, the man's bite muscles had bulged abnormally from exerting too much force.
For a normal man, this experience is undoubtedly an insult. And for a king who ascended the throne through war, this is an insult that may shake the throne!
The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. Ed took the tome directly from Lan En and turned to the corresponding page.
The records there contain many records of marriages between Baratheon and Lannister.
Regardless of whether the Baratheon family is a boy or a girl, the child will always have black hair.
The evidence is very sufficient.
Robert suddenly let out a roar that was about to overturn the carriage, and his fat, red face was like hot lava.
"Ah! So! So it was Cersei who noticed your pressing investigation! Then out of panic, she simply found someone to surround and kill me in the arena! And she also made such a ridiculous frame-up Put the blame on me!”
This kind of thinking is very normal, especially for Robert. He knew very well how ruthless a woman Cersei was.
But Ed knows that the mastermind of this assassination should be Petyr, but now the most important thing is to deal with the Lannister in King's Landing.
Petyr Baelish has no lands and no army. It's easy to deal with him. If he really doesn't follow the rules, it's just a matter of calling him to the palace and having him stabbed. "Robert, we must hurry up. Originally, we could slowly build a plan and imprison all the Lannisters in the city. But some time ago, my wife did something stupid. She kidnapped Tyrion, that little devil. . Now this news will spread everywhere. Lannister will definitely explode. We can't wait any longer."
The angry Robert roared, then picked up his horse speed and turned back to the convoy.
Lan En and Ed didn't move, still walking in front of the convoy.
After a while, there was a burst of noise and commotion in the convoy behind. From time to time there were shouts of death and the sound of iron collisions, and then it became orderly again.
Robert rode over with blood on his face, carrying a warhammer on his horse.
Wherever he passed, the attendants in the motorcade no longer dared to be casual as if on a spring outing. Instead, they lowered their heads and lined up in an orderly queue like quails.
Several Kingsguards in white robes were tied up in embarrassment and pressed onto the convoy.
"First clean up the Lannister followers around you."
Robert explained with a cold face, followed by Barristan, the captain of the Kingsguard.
“The oath between the Lord and the Kingsguard prevents me from killing them now, but when this is over, every one of them will have their heads removed!”
“Finally The main thing is King's Landing." Lan En's calm words intervened at this time. "Those two thousand golden robes are the key to the entire city now."
"This boy is right. Barristan, bring a team of good men, let's rush back first!"
>
From the motorcade, twenty golden robes came out under the command of Barristan. They were the guards who followed the king out of the city.
"Very good, let's go!"
Robert shouted and rushed towards King's Landing at the head of the crowd, as if his waist and abdomen were not injured at all.
The group of people rushed to the nearest gate of King's Landing, the Mud Gate, with their horses and whips raised.
Robert's face is the best passport.
The Lannister family's intelligence in King's Landing was far faster than Lann expected.
But it is also possible that Lan En and Ed acted so decisively that Cersei did not react.
When a group of people rushed into King's Landing, they were once again surrounded by the stench of residents' lives, on an empty loess land.
About fifty soldiers with lion patterns embroidered on their armor were waiting there, led by a handsome man with blond hair and blue eyes.
Lane had heard of his name at the Knights' Tour - Jaime Lannister, a member of the Seven Kingsguard and the eldest son of the Lannister family.
At this time, Robert had fallen into the middle of the team due to a back injury, led by Lan En and Eddard.
As soon as he saw the bitter-faced Prime Minister, James had a sneer on his face.
While still some distance away, James shouted loudly towards Ed.
"Your Majesty Prime Minister, Lannister must pay his debts. Your wife kidnapped my brother, and I came to you to ask for an explanation."
Speaking, these fifty soldiers Then they began to form an encircling formation.
But before James could finish his words, a loud roar came from the team behind Ed.
“You golden-haired bastard!”
Robert roared angrily, carrying his warhammer and leaping directly over the two of them, towards the stunned Jaime!
