Chapter 233 Situation Reversal
After getting Gao Yuan's approval, Sir Barristan didn't hesitate any longer, and directly reached out and handed the sheepskin scroll in his hand to the captain of the guards. After receiving the letter of appointment, Sir Vardis Egan had to check the contents.

"They must have forged that letter of appointment!" Lady Lysa screamed, trying to prevent Sir Egan from opening the scroll, "Sir Vardis, are you going to betray the lord you swore to serve? Don't forget who it was back then He took you as a servant and brought you with him, and who made you a knight and appointed you as the captain of the guard of the Eagle's Nest City."

"Without the House of Arryn and Lord Jon Arryn, you are nothing now!" Lady Lysa's roar continued.

I saw Sir Vardis Egan bowing solemnly to Lady Lysa: "I will never forget everything that Lord Jon Arryn bestowed on me, Lady Lysa! Please believe in my respect for the Arryn family. Loyalty, I will always be loyal to the Arryns no matter what time, and I have never had a rebellious heart."

"It's just that the object of my allegiance is not you, but Lord Robert Arryn." Sir Egan opened the letter of appointment in his hand, "As for the authenticity of the letter of appointment in my hand, it can only be confirmed by me. will know."

Sir Vardis's answer almost smoked Lady Lysa's anger. She said unwillingly: "I and my son will never admit to a forged letter of appointment for the king. The Arryn family has been doing this for thousands of years. They are all the rulers of the canyon, Robert Arryn is the real guardian of the canyon now, no one can deprive him of the Duke of the Eagle's Nest, not even that bullshit King Robert."

The angry Madam Lysa turned her attention to the people behind Gao Yuan, those valley lords who had worked with her to resist Jaime Lannister and expressed their love to her in the Eagle's Nest City .

"Lord Yohn Royce, your family has been loyal to the Arryn family for thousands of years. Just a month ago, you still told me that you would always stand with the Arryn family; support me Son's rule; united against Kingslayer Jaime Lannister's succession as Warden of the East." It was Bronze Yonn who Lady Lysa first tried to convince.

Because the Royce family that Earl Jon Royce belongs to is the most powerful one in the canyon besides the Ayrin family, and they can easily gather [-] soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, she changed the subject and began to question: "Why did you change your mind after only one month, no longer choose to serve the Ayrin family, and instead support this little-known little knight."

"The Royce family has never given up their allegiance to the Ayrin family, ma'am." Bronze Jon stepped forward with a solemn expression, "As for why we support Lord Gao Yuan as the guardian of the East, I believe you should be very clear, ma'am. King Bob's appointment."

"You're lying! King Robert appointed the Kingslayer as the Guardian of the East, when you all threatened that you would not recognize Jaime Lannister as the Guardian of the East, only my son is the real Eastland Guardian." Lady Lysa's voice was sharp and harsh.

"I'm sorry, ma'am!" Bronze Jon explained with an apologetic face, "Whether it is King Robert's letter of appointment, or Lord Gao Yuan himself, he has assured us that he is only holding these positions temporarily. Wait until Robert E. After Duke Lin becomes an adult and has the ability to rule the canyon independently, he will step down as the guardian of the East Territory and the Duke of the Eagle's Nest City."

"During this period, Lord Gaoyuan's promise will always be supervised by us valley lords. We will definitely not let Duke Robert Arryn and the positions that the Arryn family should have and hereditary be left behind. Bronze Yon promised, "After that, the Royce family will resolutely maintain the rule of the Arryn family in the canyon, and swear in the name of the old and new gods."

Bronze Jorn had already sworn allegiance to Gao Yuan in the Gate of the Moon. Although he had pledged his allegiance with conditions, it was not something Madam Lysa could say in a few words.

"The coat of arms of the five silver arrows has always been welcomed and treated with courtesy by the Eagle's Nest City, Lord Jerwood!" Lady Lysa, who was unwilling to do so, looked at Earl Jerwood Hunter behind Bronze Jorn again: "My Her husband, Duke Jon Arryn, has always regarded the old Earl of Hunter as his longest and most loyal vassal."

"When he mentioned the old Earl of Hunter to me, he always said that he was the wisest old man in the valley." Lady Lysa continued.

Jerwood Hunter stood up with a wry smile: "My father was always very grateful for your husband's trust during his lifetime. Even before he died, he was still regretting the death of Lord Jon."

"I want to know, Lord Jerwood Hunter, whether your loyalty to the Arryn family is still the same as that of your deceased father." Lady Lysa asked, "or in other words, after the old Lord Hunter passed away. , the allegiance of the Hunter family will change."

Madam Lysa's words seemed to hurt the little Earl of Hunter, and she had to say that she was too unqualified as a lord.The position of the young Earl of Hunter was already full of controversy, and now there are rumors that the younger Earl of Hunter couldn't bear his father's longevity, so he couldn't wait to get the position and murdered the old Hunter.

Now Lady Lysa repeatedly mentioned his dead father in her words, and then used the old Earl of Hunter's loyalty to the Ayrin family to force him to side with her.It had to be said that this was a bad move. Not only did the little Earl of Hunter not take the place of Lady Lysa, but he might also offend the other party.

At this moment, the little Earl Hunter looked up at Lady Lysa with very cold eyes: "The loyalty of the Hunter family has never changed, Lady Lysa!"

"It's just that my fellow lords and my fellow lords hope to see that the valley can return to its former thriving appearance." The voice of the little Earl of Hunter was as cold as the ice and snow in the north, "After repeated inspections by the lords of the canyon, compared Given the recent reign of the Vale by you and the young Lord Robert, we believe that the Warden of the Vale now appointed by King Robert is more qualified to rule the Vale."

Madam Lysa was almost desperate. She almost asked all the canyon lords in the hall at the moment, but no one in this group was willing to support her son, or support herself.These canyon lords with high positions in the canyon are all standing on the side of that hateful Gao Yuan at this moment.

That damned guy was reluctant to board the Eagle's Nest City before, he must have secretly collude with the valley lords in the Gate of the Moon Castle.Since he had the courage to take the lords to the Eagle's Nest today, he must have colluded with them.

"Robert is the son of Jon Arryn and the only heir to the Arryn family. Only he is qualified to inherit his father's position as the Guardian of the East and the Eagle's Nest City." Lady Lysa scolded, "My Your son is the real guardian of the East, you bloody traitors!"

"You have already colluded." Lady Lysa kept muttering to herself, but no one paid any attention to her.

"Forsworn."

"."

Madame Lysa gave orders to Sir Vardis angrily: "Sir Vardis! I now order you in the name of my son Robert Arryn to take down the following two criminals who dared to forge the king's appointment letter, and then Throw them to me from the Eyrie through the Moon Gate."

The young Lord Robert Arryn also jumped out of his mother's arms, stamping his feet on the spot excitedly.As if breast milk had given him new strength and courage, he pointed excitedly at Gao Yuan, Vardis and the others in the audience: "Vardis, throw them from the moon gate, I want to watch them fly!"

"I want everyone to know that no one is allowed to mess around here, and no one should try to mess around here," screamed Lord Robert Arryn.

As soon as Duke Robert's words fell, the hall of the Eyrie City fell into a dead silence.Sir Vardis is still looking at the letter of appointment in his hand, Gao Yuan and the canyon lords are waiting for him to make a choice, the other little nobles and their wives and ladies dare not even breathe one.

After a while, Sir Vardis looked up at the pair of orphans and widows on the high platform, and then re-rolled the sheepskin scroll in his hand.

Just when everyone thought he would return the letter of appointment to Sir Barristan, and knelt down to swear allegiance to Gao Yuan, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Sir Vardis's face: "Lady Lysa, what do you say?" Yes! This letter of appointment from King Robert is indeed a forgery!"

After speaking, Sir Vardis threw the sheepskin scroll in his hand into the brazier beside him under the surprised eyes of everyone.King Robert's order of appointment began to burn as soon as it touched the flames in the brazier.Since the scroll was made of parchment, it quickly burned up when it came into contact with the flames.

When everyone thought that Sir Vardis was about to turn his back on the high side, he chose to continue to fulfill the oath he had made and burned the king's appointment letter that threatened the dominance of the Arryn family.

The boldness of Sir Vardis surprised everyone present, but what he did next was truly bold.

Now that Sir Vardis has made a choice to be an enemy of Gao Yuan and others, then he will kill Gao Yuan and others as if he were an enemy.According to the orders of Lady Lysa and Duke Robert Arryn, he will lead the guards of Eyrie City to disarm Gao Yuan and others, and throw them down from the moon gate.

Disobeying the king's order is a felony, and even the Ayrin family cannot bear such a crime, let alone him, the captain of the guards of the little Eagle's Nest City.In order to prevent King Robert from being held accountable in the future and causing more trouble to the orphans and widows of the Arryn family and himself, the best way is to kill them.

As long as they killed Gao Yuan and the captain of the Kingsguard, Sir Barristan, in the Eagle's Nest, even if King Robert wanted to hold them accountable, they could be said to be Gao Yuan and the others climbing the Eagle's Nest. At that time, he accidentally stumbled and fell off the cliff.

At that time, there will be no proof of death, and King Robert will not be able to do anything to them.As for those canyon lords who betrayed the Ayrin family, it is naturally impossible for them to kill them all, but as long as they are forced to swear an oath here, it will be fine not to tell what happened today.

I saw Sir Vardis pulled out the saber from his waist, and pointed at the usual Gao Yuan: "You guards of the Eagle's Nest City, listen to the order, and according to the order of the guardian of the east region you are loyal to, the Duke of the Eagle's Nest City, take these I will take down the despicable person who dared to forge King Robert's appointment letter and intend to usurp the hereditary position of House Arryn."

Following Sir Vardis' order, many guards of the Eagle's Nest City in blue cloaks drew their weapons, and the soldiers who were standing on both sides of the hall with spears pointed their spears at Gao Yuan and Barristan Sir.

"Boom. Bang."

With the sound of armor clashing, Sir Barristan also reacted quickly, drew out the long stainless steel sword at his waist, and pointed the tip of the sword at the leading captain of the guard with a solemn expression.

Even the canyon lords following Gao Yuan pulled out their weapons and aimed at the guards of Eagle's Nest City. The lords who were waiting solemnly looked very solemn.

At the scene, only Gao Yuan still had his usual expression. He unhurriedly pulled the Evening Star Blade out of the scabbard. The silver light flickered in the candlelight, like a poisonous silver snake swimming.

Bronze Yon, furious, yelled at Ser Vardis, "What are you trying to do, Ser Vardis?"

"You dare to draw your sword at the guardian of the canyon and the Duke of the Eagle's Nest City, you are simply too reckless!" Bronze Jorn persuaded, "Let your guards put down their weapons, after that I can still help you Plead with the guardian of the canyon and give you a lenient sentence."

"If you are still obsessed with obstinacy and want to resist, your current behavior will cause more trouble to the Arryn family you are loyal to and your own family." He issued a final warning, "Don't you still want to detain us? Are these canyon lords also wiped out? You are simply wishful thinking!"

The Countess Waywood, who was the only one without a weapon in her hand, pursed her lips tightly: "This is simply too indecent. A small guard captain of Eagle's Nest City dares to draw his sword at his lord."

"Let the guards put away their weapons, Ser Egan!" Little Earl Hunter tried to persuade him, "Earl Jon Royce is right, your behavior will cause more trouble for yourself and the Arryn family , unless you can kill all of us canyon lords."

"Little Earl Hunter is right. Violence can't solve the problem, and it's not good for you or Lady Lysa." Earl Radford's tone was a little nervous.

Sir Vardis took his helmet and shield from a servant. Under the heavy helmet, only a pair of gray eyes were revealed, and the eyes were full of determination and disgust: "There can only be one Guardian of the East in the canyon." And the Duke of the Eyrie, that is Lord Robert Arryn of House Arryn."

"The guy you choose to follow is nothing more than a usurper, he wants to usurp the position and title that the Arryn family has inherited for thousands of years." Ser Vardis said viciously, "Let him make promises and bold words Even if you say it in a hype, it still can't change his true sinister intentions."

"My lords, I believe you are just deceived by his rhetoric." Sir Vardis still did not forget to divide the relationship between the princes and Gao Yuan at this moment, "I have no intention of hurting you, if you choose to lay down your weapons at this time , I and the guards will not do anything to you. But if you want to resist, then don’t blame the eyes of the sword in our hands.”
