The Heavens: The Magical World Begins with The Lord of the Rings

Chapter 253 Secret Talk in the Red Castle
When the people from the Vale of Arryn entered the city under the eyes of everyone, the city of King's Landing was already overcrowded. No exception.

Traveling through the crowded streets and alleys of Junlin City, in just half an hour, Gao Yuan and his party encountered no less than five fights over a vacant guest room.In front of the gate of the hotel, it is not uncommon for the two sides to argue over the issue of the guest room, and it is not uncommon for the two sides to fight with their attendants.

The riots in the tavern are staged more than ten times in the city almost every day, which is already a common thing in the eyes of the residents of King's Landing City.Recently, there have been countless knife fights, crimes committed by strong women, fires, and robberies in the city. Just two days ago, a woman's head was found floating in the rainbow in the church. No one knew about it. Where did the head come from, and no one knew who the poor woman was.

Knights from all over the country are now crowded into this small city of King's Landing, which makes crime happen all the time in this capital of the Seven Kingdoms, and the short-staffed City Guard is completely helpless.

When Gao Yuan and others arrived at the registration site for the martial arts competition, the official in charge of registration told them: The Prime Minister’s martial arts competition is about to begin, and if they arrive one day later, Gao Yuan and others may miss the competition It's the conference, and tomorrow is the registration deadline for the tournament.

After their registration was over, the sky in the city had gradually darkened.Fortunately, they have not found a place to stay in King's Landing until now, at least they don't have to compete with the knights who came from all over the Seven Kingdoms to compete for the already tense hotel volunteers.

As a frequent visitor to the tournament, and because Lord Jon Arryn has served as the prime minister in King's Landing for 14 years, Bronze Jon has already prepared a small dorm for himself beside the Steel Street in King's Landing. hospital.In a slightly crowded situation, this small courtyard can just accommodate everyone in their team, and it is not too far from the arena outside the city.

After the whole team settled down in the other courtyard of Bronze Yorn King's Landing City, Gao Yuan left there alone.The other courtyard that has not been lived in for a long time needs a thorough cleaning. Taking this opportunity, he plans to go to the Prime Minister's Tower of the Red Castle to find Ed Stark, talk about the clues that the Prime Minister has now, and talk to the next A further direction of investigation.

Gao Yuan, who left from the back door of the other courtyard, walked into an unoccupied alley, and after repeatedly confirming that no one was following behind him, he shot up into the sky, taking advantage of the dark night and flew straight towards the location of the Red Castle .

Gao Yuan entered the Red Castle from the air, which allowed him to easily bypass all the guards in the Red Castle. These guards responsible for guarding the palace probably never dreamed that someone would sneak into the Red Castle from the air.

The Chancellor's Tower is the chamber of the King's Hand, and the lower hall is a small room with a high vaulted dome.When Gao Yuan entered the Prime Minister's private meeting room from the gold-rimmed window sill, Eddard Stark, the Hand of the King, was not inside.

It was time for dinner now, presumably Ed Stark was having dinner with his two girls in the small hall downstairs.On the weirwood desk in the room, he saw the original book titled "The Family Genealogy and History of the Major Nobles of the Seven Kingdoms" placed on the desk.

Different from the manuscript collected in the Gate of the Moon Castle, this original book written by Melion University contains many descriptions of the appearance and characteristics of the jazz nobles, wives and their children.Gao Yuan was very interested in this book because he could not find Ed Stark in the prime minister's study, so he sat at the desk and read it.

By the time Ed Stark finally walked into the room after the meal, an unknown amount of time had passed.When Ed Stark walked to the door of the study with heavy and slow steps, Gao Yuan, who was originally focused on the content of the book in front of him, immediately noticed the arrival of the other party.

Under Gao Yuan's inexplicable gaze, I saw the exhausted Prime Minister push the door in. The first thing he did was to take off his sweat-soaked silk top, and then he put the bedside Pick up the basin and pour the cold water inside.

Just as he was about to wipe his face with the thinnest linen handkerchief at hand, he raised his head and saw Gao Yuan who was sitting at his desk looking at him inexplicably.

"Old God" suddenly found that there were other people in the room, and Ed, who was frightened by this, couldn't help but exclaimed, and threw the handkerchief in his hand.

"Master, what happened inside?" Jory Cassel's concerned voice came from outside the door, obviously he heard Ed's exclamation just now.

"It's nothing, it's just that I was suddenly startled by the mouse." Ed Stark quickly recovered from the shock just now. While dealing with Jory outside the door, he picked up the handkerchief and wiped it again. water on the face.

Ed Stark stepped across the bed and walked in front of Gao Yuan, and asked with a stern expression, "Duke Gao Yuan, why are you here?"

"When did you enter my room? This is the Prime Minister's Tower located at the core of the Red Castle. Why haven't I heard any news of your visit?"

Faced with Ai De's doubts, Gao Yuan gently covered the book in his hand, and replied calmly: "Because I sneaked in here when you were still dining downstairs, Mr. Ai De. So of course you won't hear about my visit."

"How is this possible? This is the heavily guarded Red Castle. King Robert and Queen Cersei live here. Even a fly cannot fly in." Ed Stark still couldn't believe that Gao Yuan was sneaked in.

"You don't need to ask, since I can stand in front of you now, I naturally have a way to come in." Gao Yuan said mysteriously, "There are too many secret eyeliners in King's Landing City, I have to Use this method to meet you."

"About this point, someone reminded me today." Ed Stark looked melancholy, "It's just that I am a little worried, today you can sneak into my room so quietly, tomorrow you will To stand silently at King Robert's bedside with a sharp weapon in hand."

"It's not that I suspect that you, Duke Gaoyuan, will harm King Robert. It's just that since you can sneak into the Red Keep without anyone noticing, then some people who intend to harm King Robert can also do it." Ai De Stark hurriedly explained to Gao Yuan.

"Lord Ed, there is no need to worry about this. The guards in the Red Castle are still very strict, not to mention that King Robert will always have seven imperial guards guarding his safety." Gao Yuan signaled Ed not to worry about it. King Robert's safety concerns, "My method of sneaking into the Red Castle is quite special. I can assure you, Lord Ed, that no one else can sneak into the Red Castle quietly like me."

After hearing Gao Yuan's explanation and assurance, Ed Stark felt a little relieved.

"Duke Gao Yuan, when did you arrive in King's Landing?" Ed poured a cup of summer red for himself and Gao Yuan. I thought you would come later, after all, Duke Gaoyuan, you have just taken over as the guardian of the East Territory and the Duke of the Eagle's Nest City, there must be a lot of affairs waiting for you to deal with in the valley."

"After I left the valley, I handed over all the affairs in the valley to Ser Nestor Royce." Gao Yuan raised his glass and took a sip, "After Lord Jon Arryn served in King's Landing During the prime minister, the affairs in the valley have always been handled by Sir Nestor, and I am very relieved that the affairs of the valley will be temporarily handed over to Sir Nestor for me."

"We just arrived at King's Landing this afternoon, and Earl Yorn and his two sons from Runestone City were with me." Gao Yuan frowned and said, "Some things did happen on the way, and it was delayed. some days."

"The Vale of Arryn is not too far away, and the King's Road leading to King's Landing is very safe. What will delay your journey, Duke High and Far?" Eddard Stark asked curiously.

"A total of two things happened on our way to King's Landing, one of which was related to your wife Caitlin." Gao Yuan replied.

"Caitlin?" Ed was very concerned about his wife's news, "Did she encounter danger on the King's Road? How is she doing now?"

"Lord Ed, please rest assured that Mrs. Caitlin herself is fine."

As soon as Gao Yuan's voice fell, Ai Dechang breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as Caitlin is not in danger! You don't know how worried I am that she will be in danger on the way back to the north. The people who are with her now There is only Sir Rodrik, and if there is any danger, Sir Rodrik alone cannot guarantee the safety of my wife."

"Before she left King's Landing, I suggested to her to return to the north by boat, but she insisted on walking back to Winterfell by land. It is precisely because of this that I wrote to Gao Yuan in Eagle's Nest City Duke, if you meet Caitlin on the way to King's Landing, give her some care and help."

"Please let me finish, Lord Aide!" Gao Yuan interrupted Aide's self-talk angrily, "Ms. Caitlin herself is fine, but she was kidnapped on the King's Road in the Riverlands." Leon Lannister, son of the Lannisters."

"I believe this news will reach King's Landing soon, Mr. Ed should worry about whether he will be retaliated by the Lannister family!" Gao Yuan reminded Ed to be careful of revenge from the Lannister family.

After Gao Yuan reminded like this, Ed Stark reacted, and his tone seemed a little urgent: "What happened during this period, why Caitlin wanted to kidnap the little devil from the Lannister family, I want to know The whole ins and outs, Duke Gao Yuan, please tell me in detail."

Therefore, Gao Yuan recounted to Ed Stark the conflict that happened in the Dragon Inn that day.

After listening to Gao Yuan's account of the whole incident, Ed Stark frowned and lowered his head and fell into silence until the wine glass in the hand of the bored Gao Yuan was empty. Ed then thanked Gao Yuan: "Duke Gao Yuan, Thank you very much for your timely assistance to my wife."

"Your decision not to let Caitlin take the little devil north along King's Road is a wise choice." Eddard Stark sighed heavily, and then blamed, "Kate is too impulsive, She shouldn't have put herself in danger, I've clearly told her not to be impulsive, and leave it all to me, now she's probably in big trouble."

"Let Kate take the little devil to temporarily hide in the Vale of Arryn. This is very suitable. The valley is now your territory, Lord Gaoyuan. I am very relieved to put Kate under your protection." Eddard Stark was grateful Said, "Firstly, the Lannister family completely lost Caitlin's whereabouts, and secondly, even if they knew that Caitlin and the others were hiding in the valley, they couldn't do anything to Caitlyn. The old lion wanted to attack the Vale of Arryn , this is separated from Caitlin's natal riverland, not to mention that the valley is not so easy to capture."

"Duke Gao Yuan, I will handle the revenge from the Lannister family. I will report the matter to King Robert. I believe he will stand by my side and help us withstand the pressure of the Lannister family. ’” Eddard Stark said confidently.

"Lord Ed, apart from the incident where Mrs. Caitlin kidnapped the little devil, the valley cavalry led by me also clashed with the lackeys of the Lannister family and the team of the Clegane family on the way."

Seeing that Ed Stark was confident about this, Gao Yuan couldn't say anything more.So, he told Ed that he had intercepted and killed Ser Gregor Clegane of the Magic Mountain on the King's Row, "Although this incident has been known by many people, because the fight took place on a rainy night , no one knows what this thing made us do."

"The knights who followed me kept this secret. Now I only told you, Mr. Ed, please don't spread it everywhere." Gao Yuan solemnly reminded Ed.

"Hmph! It has been rumored that Ser Gregor Clegane killed people like hemp. During the War of the Reaver, he and Ser Amory Lodge took blood to wash the Red Keep, and brutally killed Prince Rhaegar who was still in his infancy. I can't get used to this kind of scum." Ed snorted rather disdainfully.

"After the War of the Reavers was over, and when I learned what he did, I wished I could get rid of the guy who insulted the knight's honor like The Mountain, if it wasn't for Robert's order and face, How could he live like crazy until now."

"And the Kingslayer from the Lannister family. If Robert hadn't strongly opposed it, I would have made him wear black and join the Night's Watch." Speaking of King Robert's pardon for the Kingslayer, Ed still remembered There is resentment, "People in the Lannister family have never paid attention to honor. If you kill this kind of person, you will be killed. As long as no one knows that you did this, it will be fine, otherwise it will probably bring you trouble."

"By the way, Duke Gaoyuan! Just now you said that you cut off the head of Sir Gregor Clegane and took away his armor." Ed suddenly thought of something,
"Yes, I did take away the head and armor of the Demon Mountain." Gao Yuan nodded.

Ed Stark was a little puzzled, why did Gao Yuan take away his head and armor after killing the magic mountain Gregor Clegane?Commonly speaking, he shouldn't do this. He brought the head and armor of the Mountain with him. Once these were discovered, it would be easy for people to know that he killed the Mountain.

"Why do you do this?" Ed Stark has always been straightforward. Since he didn't understand why Gao Yuan did this, he asked him directly, "Isn't it easy for people to get caught?"

Originally, Ed Stark thought that Gao Yuan would avoid this question. After all, Gregor Clegane, the Magic Mountain, was killed by Gao Yuan. As the winner, he was eligible to collect his own spoils. Purpose, I have no right to care about it, let alone criticize it.

But I didn't expect that Gao Yuan didn't feel shy about this at all, but told him his purpose openly: "I ordered people to send the head and armor of the Magic Mountain to Doran Nameros in Sunspear City." In the hands of Prince Martell, I believe Prince Doran will like this gift I gave him very much."

"For the Dornish people, there is probably no better gift than the head and armor of the Mountain." Gao Yuan said inscrutably, "I am preparing for the upcoming war. Once we fight with the Lannister family Even if we cannot win the support of the Dornishmen, we cannot get them to side with the Lannisters."

"The head of the Magic Mountain will bring us the friendship of the Dornish people. The only ones that the weak and weak Lannister family can win over are the Tyrell family of Highgarden and the Stan of the Stormlands. Ness and Renly." Gao Yuan smiled happily, as if the victory was already certain, "Stannis in Dragonstone Island, as proud as he is, it is absolutely impossible for him to stand on the side of the Lannister family, unless the Lannister family can Pledge your allegiance to him and support him on the Iron Throne."

"And the young Renly Baratheon is nothing more than a pampered silver-spear waxhead. Even if he can win the support of most of the nobles in the Stormlands, under the combined forces of the Valley, the Riverlands and the North , can’t make any waves.” When Gao Yuan mentioned King Robert’s youngest brother, Renly, he had a disdainful expression on his face.
