Take the ride to dominate the game

Chapter 161 The Wedding with Sansa
Arthur's words silenced the hall.

After a few breaths, Hopper said pleasantly: "I think it is possible. According to your peerless force, as long as one person enters the Red Keep, Cersei will definitely die."

Since the beginning of the War of the Five Kings, the name of Arthur Bracken has repeatedly scared the armed nobles and knights across the continent. Who else can lead an army by himself?

The Duke of Mace reacted slowly, but he also expressed his position in time: "If you can rescue my mother and two children, the Tyrell family will be loyal to you from now on. If you can also rescue the remaining owners of the River Bend, I can assure you Most people in Hewan only recognize you as the king."

Queen Cersei, like her father Tywin, is unusually strong with her subordinates and vassals.Judging from the change of King's Landing, the helm of the lion family should be a little crazy.

After getting along with each other these days, Mace had to admit that among the existing kings, Arthur Bracken, King of the River, should be the most gentle.

Of course, except on the battlefield.

For the nobles, a gentle and undisturbed king is a good king. As for those who live a little messy, love to spend money, and like to organize martial arts tournaments, that's not a problem.

Sixteen years ago, it was because of Robert and Ed Kuan's treatment of the people of the Riverbend that the Duke of Metz led an army of 16 to surrender outside Storm's End.

Arthur stepped down from the chief seat and walked slowly in front of Mace, "I promise, I will rescue your family and vassals."

His voice is calm and powerful, which makes the adult inflatable fish who has been feeling at a loss for some time feel inexplicably at ease.

The three of them leaned their heads together and began to discuss the details of their actions.

"Because King's Landing City is also short of food, the merchant ships from Blackwater Bay to Pentos have started to move again. We can hide on the grain ship, and then... By the way, do you know the secret passage of the Red Castle?" Hopper said.

Arthur recalled, "I know one of them, but it's relatively narrow. Not many people can get in at one time without alarming the defenders."

Because the Red Castle is the family castle of Targaryen, and Baratheon is not a serious successor, he did not inherit the secrets of the Dragon family, so the late Robert, Cersei and others who are still alive are concerned about the entire underground structure of the Red Castle. Perhaps not as familiar with Varys, Pycelle, and Petyr Baelish as the old players.

Arya took Arthur through the secret passage where Illyrio and Varys met.

Given Illyrio's size, this passage was probably the widest in the Red Keep's system of passages.

But he didn't tell the two of them the cruel fact.

"By the way, Littlefinger should also have a path, and that one will be easier to get in and out of."

As far as Arthur knew, Littlefinger Baelish climbed in and out of the Red Keep on a cliff near the coast.

Judging from the fact that Duke Ed, who is in his thirties, can also crawl along that cliff path, it seems that stronger adult men can walk this path.

The Duke of Mace was shocked by the knowledge of the River King, but he wisely didn't ask Arthur how he knew.

The three deduced back and forth for a long time, and finally decided on the order of entering the Red Castle.

First of all, Arthur sneaked in with a dozen top fighters, and killed Cersei and the senior officers of the Western Territory first, causing chaos in the scene.Then he led people to guard the captives in the river bend, allowing more soldiers of his own to sneak in from the cliffs or various secret passages in the Red Fort, and took the opportunity to open the gate of the Red Fort.

"Earl Randall Tarly can lead an army to King's Landing. There is no one sent by the Lions in his army. When the time comes, we should cooperate with each other and take King's Landing in one fell swoop." Hopper suggested.

Arthur thought for a while, "But how to hide this from Cersei and make such a military transfer? Or to put it another way, how to make Cersei think that it is normal for Randyll to lead the army south?"

To be honest, the 1 people in Lando really have no reason to return to the vicinity of King's Landing, and letting him lead the army south will only make Cersei send soldiers to fight.

Although the queen mother is a little crazy, she is not stupid.

"And the movement of my Hejian army is also very important. According to Cersei's behavior, now she should be ordering Landau to continue the northward attack, so I have to show up near Maidenquan City. If I disappear for a while, then Cersei must Suspicious."

The second big trouble came.

Hopper pondered for a moment, and suggested: "Let Landau create chaos in his own army, say that Fossoway, Peake, and Mary Weiss are causing trouble because their lords were imprisoned in the Red Castle. Landau has no choice but to bring Let the soldiers go south to ask for an explanation for the troubled soldiers."

Duke of Mace shook his head.

"I don't think this statement is very reliable. Earl Randyll Tarly once suppressed the Bitterbridge Rebellion, and thousands of soldiers making trouble were not enough for him to lead his army south."

Arthur whispered: "It can be explained in this way. It is said that it was your order at that time, so Lando dared to kill two or 3000 people. Now he doesn't know what to do, so he led the army south. After all, this army also Not all his personal soldiers."

The other two looked at each other, thinking that this statement should work.

"As for me leaving Maiden Springs, I have an excellent reason right now." Arthur had promised to marry Sansa after serving as a soldier in the Valley, and now it was time to fulfill it.

When Randall Tali's army went south, he took some nobles to Harrenhal to marry Sansa.

As a newlywed, it is normal for King Hejian to spend some time with his wife.During this period, Arthur went from the waterway to Dragonstone Island, and then mixed on the merchant ship, and arrived at Port King's Landing.

He told them some of his ideas.

After hearing that the River King was going to marry Sansa Stark, Duke Mace's face suddenly darkened, but fortunately, he also knew what his family was going through, so he didn't say much.

Hopper Redwyne didn't respond to this point, he thought it over and over again, and thought it was feasible.

"For the sake of confidentiality, you can only bring some strong generals. I will pick some soldiers from my family's warship who dare to fight for the lord to the death. Only the gold dragon coins are given a lot, so I don't have to worry about the soldiers not dying."

Redwyne's territory is Green Pavilion Island, and the Green Pavilion wine produced by his family is known as liquid gold.In terms of financial resources alone, the Redwyne family should be in the top five in the entire continent, and several lord families can't compare.

The three discussed for a long time to make this plan more feasible.

Then, taking advantage of the darkness, Hopper slipped out of the castle, boarded a merchant ship parked at the port, and left here.

After returning to Dragonstone Island, he will contact Earl Tarly to start this series of operations.

……

Fifteen days later, Harrenhal.

After Lando led his army southward, Arthur returned here with some nobles, preparing to marry Sansa.

The army is managed by Sir Hosting of the Frey family, Sir Sarus of the Rowan family, and Hugo of Alan City. These people have low status in the family, so they have always been trained as military commanders.One advantage of the coalition of noble private soldiers is that as long as there are people from the lord's family, the entire army will not be chaotic.

In the main hall of the main castle, all the nobles who could be there gathered together to discuss the etiquette and procedures of the marriage.

Sansa is a less devout believer in the old gods, and Arthur is even more of a believer in Valyrian gods, so some details of the marriage are different from others.

This is what Arthur was arguing with the nobles.

Matus Rowan, William Mooton and others believed that the wedding must be presided over by monks and other clergy, and the two parties to the marriage must swear to their respective gods before they can be considered as a holy marriage.

Hearing it suddenly, this statement is quite reasonable, but after careful analysis, it is clear that it is purely a disturbance.

The Old Gods currently has one known clergyman: the Three-Eyed Raven.

And this body, Duke Brynden Rivers of Blood Raven, is still trapped in a tree hole north of the Great Wall of Desperation.

To make matters worse, Brynden Rivers is likely to be a corpse, and the Three-Eyed Raven is his consciousness itself.

There are many evidences to support this statement, and the most powerful one is Brynden River's milky white skin and bone white hair, as well as his special constitution that is extremely sensitive to sunlight.

According to the first-born law of Targaryen's intermarriage, Brynden River, the illegitimate child, must follow the appearance of the matriarchal Blackwood family, but he rarely possesses other characteristics.

The various theories in the school city can't explain this clearly, but if the Duke of Blood Raven has been walking in the world in the form of a corpse, it can be explained.

Closer to home, after talking for a long time, the nobles agreed to let Sansa choose how to worship God.

As for Arthur's Valyrian gods, it's even more out of the question. In the entire continent of Westeros, there is no priest, monk or other clergy who believes in ancient gods such as Balerion and Vagarhar.

Volantis in the east may be able to find one or two, but there is not enough time.

"Everyone, just listen to me." After speaking for a long time, Arthur raised his arms and called out, "Since we have Alduin, what other priests do we need? Dragons are the closest magical animals to gods. Isn't it enough to swear a marriage oath?"

Unintentionally entangled with these boring nobles on such small details, Arthur wanted to use the magic dragon to skip this link.

After discussing in twos and threes, the great nobles reluctantly agreed.

These people are not very devout to the seven gods, so they did not ask the river king to strictly abide by the teachings of the Valyrian gods.

Sansa sitting on the main seat opened her beautiful eyes, excitedly watching her fiancé discussing the details of the wedding with the nobles.

Lady Hean has died of illness, and she is now Countess of Harrenhal.

Different from the down-and-out hostage image that Arthur saw a few months ago, Miss Stark is obviously brighter now.

She combed her long chestnut hair to a shine and coiled it twice around the top of her head before falling over her tight indigo velvet gown.

Sansa looks a little stronger now that she's been eating well lately.

Arthur visually judged that the children's cafeteria should be well funded.

Seeing that many nobles were entangled with their future husband over the details of swearing, Sansa stopped watching. She stepped down from the high platform where the chief seat was, and proposed:

"My lords, since it is Arthur and my wedding, we will arrange these details. On the morning of the wedding day, Arthur and I went to find a weirwood to swear, and then before the banquet, we came again in front of Alduin Once, is this enough?"

The two parties have said so, and the details of the wedding vows have been determined in this way, and there is one more important thing to do next.

An acquaintance of Sansa would have to lead her into Arthur's hands.

According to the current situation, Blackfish Brynden Tully would be the best candidate for this role.

But because of the incident in Raventree City, the relationship between King Hejian and him was not very good, so he didn't dare to let Heiyu come to Harrenhal to attend the wedding rashly, and took Sansa's hand for a while.

"This matter is still difficult to resolve. Which family in Hejian is closer to the Tully family, can you help me with this matter?"

Arthur asked loudly.

Many nobles looked at each other in blank dismay, and someone replied, "The He'an family is very close to the Tully family."

This is bullshit, the last Hoan has passed away.

Seeing that the scene had cooled down, Sansa said ruthlessly, "You don't need to worry about this matter. I will write to my uncle personally and ask him to come to the wedding. At the same time, I will also make up for the relationship between the Tully family and you."

Miss Stark is not a fool, she also knows that her uncle and her fiancé have a bad relationship recently.

But because of Tywin's use of troops against the riverlands, the relationship between the Tully family and the Lannister family is even worse.

"Then please."

Being against Sir Heiyu was one of Arthur's biggest mistakes. If Uncle Sansa could come, then the King of the Rivers could have a thorough talk with Heiyu and get to know each other thoroughly.

"Between you and me, why are you being polite?" Sansa patted her fiancé's armguard lightly.

After talking for a long time, everyone finally set a date for the wedding, which will be held in four days.

For Sansa, who has been preparing for a long time, this time is enough.

But the lords at all levels still felt that the wedding was too rushed, and they couldn't even get them to prepare an expensive gift.

Since it is the wedding of the new king, the house governors who are loyal to Arthur are going to give some good things.

"There is no need for everyone to be extravagant and wasteful. I don't choose gifts very much. You can give me a book." In order to reassure these nobles, Arthur said this sentence in advance.

"You are so generous."

"Is there any other king in the whole world who is so considerate to his vassals? No more?"

The nobles sighed for the generosity of King Hejian.

What they don't know is that in the days to come, the expensive gifts that should be given will still be given.

Anyway, Arthur will have more opportunities to get married in the future, so he doesn't have to worry about not receiving a gift.

After the specific date for the wedding was determined, the entire town of Harrenhal and Harrenhal began to function.

Arthur had previously had Sansa order enough meat to be prepared so that the nearby farmers could have a good meal on his wedding day.

But the nearby territories have all been robbed by soldiers from the Western Region, so they can't produce so much chicken, duck and mutton.

Miss Stark, who was still economical, thought of a clever way. She ordered people to catch a lot of fish in God's Eye Lake: mandarin fish, trout, salmon, carp, etc., and then pickled them for the wedding banquet.

This is just a small aspect of the wedding banquet, and more details will be revealed in the next two or three days: Arthur's sword and horse banner and Sansa's direwolf banner are planted all over the walls and towers of Harrenhal; The major events in her life are a little more solemn. Sansa ordered someone to invite a circus. They will perform a performance in the Hundred Fire Hall, and then go to Heron Town to perform for the common people...

The vain Sansa even had two solid gold crowns made to show that she was the real queen.

PS: I'm a little late for something, please forgive me.
