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

Chapter 257 The Truth Comes Out
Faced with the doubts from Gao Yuan, Sir Xiufu naturally couldn't give a reasonable explanation.Just like what Gao Yuan said in the question just now, it is only a few months before and after he was canonized as a knight by the king. It is absolutely impossible for him to get enough money in such a short period of time with his own efforts alone. Buy a golden dragon with a new armor.

Sir Hugh was born in a small family in the Vale of Arryn. Unlike the property knights, his family was able to obtain a fixed income from the family's territory every year.

This small family that has been impoverished all the year round is doing everything it can just to support Sir Xiufu as a knight, so where can they find the money to support his armor?

Staring at Sir Hugh in front of him, just from his somewhat dodgy eyes, Gao Yuan could conclude that the money he used to buy the armor must come from unknown sources.

Gao Yuan sighed for a long time. He knew very well how difficult it was for a small family like Sir Hugh to train Sir Hugh into a real knight: "Since you want to convince me that you didn't murder Joan Lord En Arryn, then you have to explain to me clearly where the money for the armor comes from."

"Sir Xiufu, you should be very clear about the consequences if I reveal the truth of this matter to the public!" Gao Yuan persuaded him earnestly, "Even if you can escape the sanction of the king's law, those who are eager to Jon Arryn's vengeance will never give up on you."

"At that time, no matter in the Seven Kingdoms, or even in the entire continent of Westeros, there will be no place for you, Sir Xiufu." Gao Yuan warned the other party, "Think about your being in the Vale of Arryn. Your mother and wife, do you want to see them bear the wrath of other lords for you?"

When Gao Yuan and Sir Hugh mentioned his mother and wife, it almost became the last straw that overwhelmed him, and his already highly tense nerves finally collapsed at this moment.

"Lord Gao Yuan, it's not that I don't want to reveal the origin of these golden dragons to you, but that the person who gave me these golden dragons forced me to swear to the gods in order to keep me a secret." Sir Hugh cried bitterly. Crying to Gao Yuan with tears.

Immediately afterwards, he assured Gao Yuan: "Although because of the oath, I can't reveal to you what the secret that person wants me to keep is. But I can guarantee that the golden dragon that person gave me was not to instruct me to go poison Murder Lord Arryn."

"Since Sir Xiufu, you really don't want to speak." Although there was a smile on Gao Yuan's face at this time, in Sir Xiufu's view, that smile was as terrifying as a storm raging on the Strait Sea. Tell the Seven Gods about those so-called secrets. After this tournament is over, I will bring your corpse to your wife and mother in the Vale of Arryn, and send them to reunite with you. "

After finishing these threatening words with Sir Hugh, Gao Yuan walked out of the arena without looking back.Sir Hugh's obsession has made Gao Yuan deeply impatient. He thinks he has given the other party enough opportunities, but the other party still has illusions about it.

He even regarded him as a street vendor, repeatedly wanting to bargain with himself.Little do they know that he is now a man for a knife, and I for a fish.You must know that bargaining also requires capital, so where did he get the courage and confidence to bargain with himself?
But at this moment, Sir Hugh was still kneeling on the sandy ground, watching Gao Yuanwei's back gradually drifting away with dull eyes.Seeing that Gao Yuan was about to walk out of the gate of the arena, he finally came to his senses and chased outside the arena while calling Gao Yuan's name.

Hearing the faint shouts coming from behind, Gao Yuan didn't stop his footsteps until they reached a forest outside the arena, and the impatient Sir Xiufu stopped Gao Yuan.

"Sir Xiufu, please don't stand in front of me!" Gao Yuan's voice was quite impatient, "Since you are not willing to break the oath you once made, then naturally I will not do that to force you to break the oath." things."

"It's Lord Petyr Baelish, those golden dragons were given to me by Lord Petyr Baelish." Ser Hugh breathlessly reminded Gao Yuan of his identity, "He is King Robert's treasurer. The minister is also one of the most important ministers in the Imperial Council today."

"Sure enough, it's Littlefinger! If his guess is correct, the Sir Hugh in front of him is probably the key witness he used to accuse Lady Lysa and Littlefinger." Gao Yuan thought so.

"Oh, of course I know Littlefinger Petyr Baelish, and we can be regarded as old acquaintances." Gao Yuan sneered and said, "Then why did Littlefinger give you so many golden dragons?"

"This amount of money is not a small amount. Don't tell me such a large amount of money. This is a reward from his little finger."

"Lord Gao Yuan, now that I have broken my oath to Lord Petyr Baelish, I will naturally not lie to you again." Sir Hugh shook his head like a rattle drum, "These money All for my reward for keeping Lord Petyr Baelish's secret."

"In order to keep me silent about his secret, he promised to pay me a considerable number of golden dragons, and made me swear an oath to the gods at once."

"What kind of secret is it that can make Littlefinger pay a huge price and keep you silent about it?" Gao Yuan was a little puzzled by this. Could it be that Sir Hugh just happened to bump into it, and Lysa The scene where the wife poisons her husband.

"I'm not too clear about this, maybe it's because this secret involves Lady Lysa Arryn." Sir Hugh shook his head and said, "Since that Lord Petyr Baelish was transferred by Lord Arryn In King's Landing, after serving as King Robert's chancellor, I and the other guards often saw Lord Petyr Baelish walking with Lady Lysa."

"Sometimes it's Lady Lysa who goes to see Lord Petyr Baelish; sometimes it's Littlefinger who comes to see Lady Lysa when Lord Arryn is away from the Tower. Everyone's guessing, Lysa There was an unclear relationship between Lady Shaw and Petyr Baelish."

"Sir Hugh, my time is limited!" Gao Yuan frowned and said, "I'm not here to listen to your gossip about Lady Lysa and Littlefinger."

"Please tell me directly, what happened the day Littlefinger asked you to swear the oath!"

Gao Yuan's stern tone made Sir Hugh shrunk his neck, and he nodded obediently: "I remember that day, Lady Lysa had a big fight with Lord Arryn, and I have never seen them quarreling so much. Great."

"The reason is that Lord Jon Arryn wants Lady Lysa to take little Robert to Dragonstone Island. Lord Arryn said that King Robert's younger brother has agreed to take the young duke as his adopted son." Xiufu The jazz told Gao Yuan, "Lord Ayrin asked Madam to pack up her things and set off as soon as possible. He seemed to be very eager to send the little duke to Dragonstone Island."

Regarding, Jon Arryn asked Lady Lysa to send her son to Dragonstone Island to be adopted by Stannis.He had already learned about this from Madam Lysa when he was in Eagle's Nest City, so Gao Yuan was not surprised.

But what people never expected was that Mrs. Lysa actually hid something about it.

She only told the lords in the Vale that she and little Robert stayed in the end, and the reason was to take care of her husband who was poisoned at the time.But she never mentioned it to them, because she had a big fight with Jon Arryn about it.

Judging from Sir Hugh's description of the quarrel between the two, this unprecedented fierce argument is likely to be the fuse that led to Lady Lysa's determination to poison her husband, Jon Arryn.

"The king's younger brother that Lord Arryn was talking about was not Lord Renly, but another Lord Stannis." Ser Hugh emphasized, "Lord Gaoyuan, I think you should know."

"Of course I know this. There is only one lord of Dragonstone Island now, and that is Lord Stannis Baratheon." Gao Yuan nodded, "And King Robert's other younger brother, Lord Renly, his castle should be It was Storm's End. Lord Stannis had a quarrel with King Robert over it."

"Go on, what happened after that?"

"Lord Arryn left the Prime Minister's Tower after a big quarrel with his wife." Sir Hugh continued, "I don't know exactly where Lord Arryn went that day, but I'm afraid it will have to go to Lord Ayrin's side." The other guard-brothers. All I know is that he seemed to have been secretly investigating something, with Lord Stannis, before his lord fell ill."

"I happened to be feeling unwell that day, so I didn't go out to investigate with Lord Arryn, but was accompanied by other guards." Sir Hugh folded his arms and began to recall, "Not long after Lord Arryn left the Prime Minister's Tower , Lord Petyr Baelish came to the Prime Minister's Tower."

"Did Little Finger come to find Madam Lysa?" Gao Yuan asked.

"Lord Petyr Baelish rarely comes to the Prime Minister's Tower to look for Lord Arryn. If he wants to look for Lord Arryn, he will only do so at the Imperial Council." Sir Hugh shook his head, "Petyr Baelish Your Excellency usually goes to Lady Lysa when he goes to the Prime Minister's Tower."

"During this period, do you know what happened between Littlefinger and Lysa Arryn?"

"I really don't know what Lord Baelish and Lady Lysa talked about at first." Sir Hugh said, "But when I passed by Lady Lysa's room, I happened to hear Lady Lysa talking to Baelish. Your lord mentioned that Lord Arryn is going to send little Robert to Dragonstone to be Lord Stannis' adopted son."

"At that time, Lady Lysa was crying very sadly in the room."

"And I also heard her yelling in the room: no one can take my good baby Robert away from me..." Sir Hugh emphasized, "I can hear that Madame Shah was very angry and even broke several vases in the room, all the servants in the prime minister's tower heard."

"Did Little Finger say anything at that time?" Gao Yuan asked urgently, "Or did he give something to Madam Lysa?"

"They were all words used to comfort Lady Lysa, such as suggesting that Lady Lysa take little Robert back to the valley by herself. It is impossible for Lord Arryn to really send his only son to Dragonstone Island. ' replied Sir Hugh.

"It's impossible! If there are only these innocuous things, Littlefinger will pay a huge price to let you keep a secret for him?" Gao Yuan would not believe that Littlefinger only said these things, he thought Sir Hugh must have missed something What, "Think about it carefully, don't miss some important information, especially some dialogues that you may not have understood at the time, there must be some crucial information hidden in it!"

"You'd better not try to hide something. I can tell if there is any missing information, or if you made it up." Gao Yuan warned.

Sir Hugh nodded heavily, and then he stroked the blue beard on his chin and began to think hard.

"Snapped!"

Sir Hugh snapped his fingers happily, as if he remembered some details that were easily overlooked.

"Did you think of something?" Gao Yuan's voice was very urgent.

Sir Hugh nodded happily when he heard the words, but he and Gao Yuan said: "I remembered, Lord Baelish did say such an inexplicable sentence to Lady Lysa at that time: Lysa, I believe this can solve your current situation. troubles. This potion is called the Tears of Lys, and I stole it from Grand Maester Pycelle's shelf."

"Did Petyr Baelish really say that to Lysa Arryn?" Gao Yuan asked in disbelief.

"Not only that, Lord Baelish also assured Lady Lysa that there is no need to worry that anyone will recognize this potion, and that no one in Westeros will know about this potion except the two of them. The name of the potion, for it comes from the Free City of Braavos across the Strait."

"Lord Baelish was still mocking the Grand Maester Pycelle in front of Madam Lysa, saying that he was simply an old fool. Fortunately, he was still a Grand Maester, so he put such a precious potion on his face so brightly. On a shelf in the room."

"Now I finally know why Littlefinger asked you to keep a secret for him at all costs." At this moment, Gao Yuan finally lost his frowning brows and smiled happily.

"You should be thankful for this, Sir Xiufu!" Gao Yuan said to Sir Xiufu with a smile on his face, "If I hadn't found you in time, your strict observance of the oath almost cost you your life. "

"Having mastered such an astonishing secret, I'm afraid it won't be long before you even die without knowing how you died."

Seeing Gao Yuan staring at him like this, Sir Xiufu couldn't help feeling horrified but also puzzled: "Master Gao Yuan, I don't understand! Why do you say that?"

"I'll explain this to you later!" Now that the truth has come to light, Gao Yuan will start to think about how to deal with Littlefinger and Lysa Tully.

"I solemnly ask you now: are you willing to stand up and accuse the real culprit who murdered Lord Jon Arryn in front of King Robert and Prime Minister Eddard, and even in front of many valley lords!" He asked Sir Hugh for advice, but Gao Yuan's tone seemed to allow him to refuse.
