Chapter 270
The loser left the stage amidst the boos of the crowd, followed by a tsunami of cheers and screams from behind the Kingslayer, but these have nothing to do with him now.

The winner of this contest is now riding a white steed to the sidelines to accept people's applause.The enthusiasm of the audience almost overwhelmed him like a tsunami, until he walked around the field and left the field, the enthusiasm did not weaken at all.

Looking at the back of the Kingslayer leaving off the field, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel sorry for Earl Yohn Royce. It's a pity that he didn't have the opportunity to witness himself defeating the Kingslayer today.

When the Kingslayer provoked them in front of the two yesterday, he promised Bronze Jorn that he would give him and Sir Anda a hard lesson on the Kingslayer in this arena.

When Gao Yuan finally got off the field, Sandor Clegane was already in place on the sidelines.He was dressed in smoke-gray battle armor with an olive green cloak on his back, and that cloak and the hound helmet on his head were the only decorations on his body.

When the Knight of Flowers entered the arena, there was a burst of murmurs among the crowd.People are discussing with each other in private, who will win the final qualification between "The Hound" and the Knight of Flowers.

Ser Loras Tyrell was as slender as an acorn reed. After all, this young knight was only 16 years old, so it was not surprising that he was not as tall as the Hound.

He wore a suit of gorgeous silver armor, polished to a dazzling silver, with pairs of black vines and small blue forget-me-nots inlaid on it.

When the Knight of Flowers walked across the field, Ed and other spectators realized that the blue flowers were made of sapphire.The thousands of people who saw this scene couldn't help but gasped at the same time, and they couldn't help but sigh that Duke Tyrell must have spent a lot of thought and gold dragons when preparing this armor for his son.

The cape on the boy's shoulders was heavy, and the cape was woven with real forget-me-nots.Hundreds of flowers were sewn on the woolen cloak just like that. No wonder people called him the Knight of Flowers, which was also in line with the style of the Southern Guardian and Highgarden families.

His mount was almost as slender as his man, a handsome gray mare, quite light and quick, as handsome as her master.

The stallion under Sandor the Hound neighed as soon as it caught her scent, and the beautiful young man from Highgarden pinched his feet lightly, and his mount hopped from side to side like an agile dancer. move.

At this time, Gao Yuan had come to Ed's side again, but he didn't take off his armor, because his next contest would come soon.

It seemed that Gao Yuan was sitting next to him, and Sansa Stark stared intently at the magnificent face of Sir Loras on the field, and asked him, "Master Gao Yuan, what do you think of the Knight of Flowers?" Who will win in the end, the Hound or the Hound?"

"Sir Loras has played some tricks here, which may cause a lot of trouble for the Hound." Gao Yuan replied with a relaxed tone.

As soon as the words fell, the hounds on the field couldn't control their mounts, and saw that the steed under his feet was constantly shaking its head and neighing, repeatedly stomping its feet to move the soil with its iron hooves.

The hunting dog on horseback frowned and pulled the rein tightly, and even kicked it viciously with its spiked heels.This seemed to stimulate the horse even more. The horse raised its front hooves and rear legs to stand up, almost throwing him off the horse's back.

Sansa Stark suddenly turned her head in surprise: "Master Gao Yuan, do you also think that the Knight of Flowers is sure to win?"

"I'm just saying that this might cause him a lot of trouble." Gao Yuan shook his head, "It doesn't mean that he will win the Knight of Flowers."

"The Hound has a wealth of experience in horseback riding, so he must have a good chance of winning with his superb riding skills."

"Excuse me, Duke Gaoyuan, where did you see that Sir Loras did something wrong?" Ed Stark stared at the two on the field and couldn't help frowning, "With my I really can't see the problem here, is Sir Loras the stable boy who bribed the Hound?"

"Knight of Flowers changed a mare for himself today, he must know that the mare is in heat." Gao Yuan told him, "I found out as early as when Sir Loras was preparing off the field, because my The horse was also a little restless as it passed him."

"I'm sure this is what he planned in advance. The mounts brought by the other knights this time are all stallions. Generally speaking, mares are not suitable for this kind of competition, but he, Ser Loras, just changed into it today. the mare."

Hearing Gao Yuan's analysis, Ed Stark snorted disapprovingly: "In this sacred arena, there is no honor in playing such low-level tricks. Even if you win, you will not win by force."

"It's true that there is no honor at all, but not everyone knows the inside story. Sir Loras, as long as he can fool those who don't know the scene." Gao Yuan smiled, "Those of us who know the inside story It is impossible for someone to accuse the other party without grounds, and besides, you can win [-] golden dragons in this way."

Everyone turned their eyes back to the arena. After saluting to the king, the Knight of Hundred Flowers rode his mount to the edge of the arena, lowered his lance and prepared to take his position.

The Hound Sandor was struggling to pull the rein in his hand, and finally brought himself to the starting line.

Then everything started naturally. The Hound's war horse seemed to be galloping on the field, galloping forward violently, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that his horse's footsteps were not very stable.

However, Sir Loras' filly had a silky smooth start and a full sense of rhythm when she sprinted.

Seeing this, Sandor the Hound simply gave up the shield in his left hand, and while constantly adjusting the position of the lance in his hand, he also tried his best to control the horse under his feet to make it run in a straight line.

After he had done all this, Ser Loras Tyrell had suddenly rushed to him, and the point of his spear was stabbed just right.In the blink of an eye, the hunting dog was stabbed by him so that the whole person fell off the horse's back. Because of his relatively strong body, he and the horse almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the hound's feet were firmly hooked to the pedals, which allowed him to climb back onto the horse's back from the side of the horse.There was a sound of exclamation at the scene, and everyone's hearts hung in their throats at that moment. They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they saw the hound climbed back on the horse's back.

Among the many apprehensive spectators, I am afraid that few people really care about the hunting dog. Most of them just bet heavily on the hunting dog in the off-site gambling market.

The Knight of Flowers reined in the reins in his hand on the opposite side of the field. He took a new lance from his attendant, and charged again after the Hound returned to the starting line.

Sandor the Hound was completely desperate this time. He no longer held the rein tightly, but let the horse under him rush forward. The shield hanging on the side of the horse had fallen off at some point .

Just before the collision between the two, Sir Loras showed a victorious smile on his pretty face hidden under the mask, and the sapphires all over his body sparkled in the bright sunlight, and the entire audience was almost crazy for him.

However, at the last moment, the hound made a move that frightened everyone present. He suddenly stood up from his mount with a lance in his hand, and crouched on the swaying saddle.

Facing Sir Loras' lance stabbing at him, the Hound just turned sideways and dodged it.While dodging the lance in Sir Loras's hand, he imitated Gao Yuan's appearance and stabbed out with one hand holding the lance, hitting the Knight of Flowers in the face and knocking him down under the horse.

Ser Loras Tyrell's helmet was pushed out, and the Knight of Flowers, who was covered in armor all over his body, immediately fell to the sandy ground with an unsteady center of gravity and rolled several times before stopping.

When he got up from the ground again, his delicate and fair face was already covered with sand and stones.The Knight of Flowers with disheveled hair no longer looked as chic as before.

This result almost exceeded the expectations of everyone present, and the originally noisy and noisy arena suddenly fell silent.They all stared wide-eyed at the panic-stricken Knight of Hundred Flowers on the field, unable to believe their eyes.

It took a long time to hear cheers, cheers, whistles and gasps of horror coming from the field.At this moment, the audience was almost full of excited murmurs of nobles, lords and ladies, especially King Robert's harsh and hoarse laughter. Obviously, he was also one of the few on the scene who could clearly see the Knight of Flowers' thoughts.

The Hound rode up to the Knight of Flowers on a steed, and saw him take off his mask and taunted him: "Boy, I think you have to go back and practice for a few more years! Let me meet you next time, if you dare If you play these little tricks in front of me, I will definitely let you go around."

"Hmph, I can take off your helmet this time, and I can take off your beautiful head next time too!"

After speaking, he ignored Ser Loras Tyrell, who was blushing with shame, and rode his mount off the field, and began to prepare for the upcoming championship battle.

The approach of the championship battle almost ignited all the enthusiasm of the audience present.

Before Gao Yuan, the popular contender for the championship, left the stands, the audience shouted Gao Yuan's name in unison, as if thousands of people in the arena were cheering for him.

It is true that there were not a few people cheering for Sandor Clegane at the scene, but their number was really limited.Their insignificant shouts are now drowned in the vast ocean of many lofty supporters.

Soon both parties came to King Robert on their respective mounts. Gao Yuan sat on the horseback and bowed slightly to King Robert in front of him, and the other party nodded slightly to show his appreciation.

After saluting to the king, Gao Yuan turned to look at the hunting dog beside him: "Mr. Sandor Clegane of the Clegane family, it is an honor to have the opportunity to fight with you."

"Duke Gaoyuan, don't you think it's too late for you to flatter me now? Also, don't talk about sir, shut up about sir, I never said that I am a knight, and I even look down on you and yours Bullshit oath." The Hound looked stern at the moment.

"Of course I know that you are not a knight, the hunting dog, so what I said just now is sir, and I am not flattering you!" Gao Yuan had already known the character of the hunting dog, so he was not annoyed by it , but continued to smile at him.

He pointed to the half of the other party's face that was burned by the magic mountain and said: "Mr. Hound Sandor Clegane, don't forget that you still owe me a favor. I don't need you to pay me back now. I believe you will pay me back in the future." There are opportunities to return this favor to me."

Gao Yuan's words made the Hound stunned, and his eyes widened under the mask: "You did that thing? You were on the King's Road"

A meaningful smile appeared on Gao Yuan's face, and he stretched out his finger to make a silent gesture to the other party: "It's fine for you to know some things about Mr. Sandor Clegane, and you don't have to say it in public. It’s not good for other people to know.”

Without waiting for the other party's reaction, Gao Yuan pulled up the rein in his hand, turned around and left, and rode his horse to the starting line at the edge of the field to get ready for his position.

The Hound pulled up his mask absently and slowly came to the sidelines, lowered the lance in his hand to show that he was ready to take his position.

As the charge horn sounded on the field, both sides raised their reins almost at the same time, and the two horses accelerated at full speed from the very beginning.The arena where the two war horses passed by was suddenly covered in dust and dust, and the audience couldn't help but be caught by the indomitable momentum of the two, and they all held their breath.

Sansa Stark and her father couldn't help but stand up from the stands that were temporarily built for the tournament. Sansa was still holding the flower that Gaoyuan had just presented to her.

The hound leaned forward on the horse's back, and the spear in his hand was as steady as a rock, seemingly unaffected by the galloping horse under his feet.At this moment, his expression was extremely serious, but Gao Yuan opposite him looked very relaxed. Even in this championship battle, he was still holding a gun with one hand, as if he didn't care about the outcome of this contest at all.

Seeing this, the Hound couldn't help snorting secretly, and Sandor Clegane thought to himself: Hmph, Duke Gaoyuan, if you think that I will show mercy to you in this tournament arena if you think that you killed the Mountain for me, then you are too naive up!

Thinking of this, the hunting dog cheered up even more, and his eyes became more determined.Seeing Sandor Clegane's firm eyes, Gao Yuan gradually became excited.At this moment, he was no longer looking foolish, his fingers clenched the lance in his hand, and even left five clear fingerprints on the end of the handle of the gun.

Everything happened so fast, in the eyes of the audience at the side, it happened almost in an instant, and the two knights who were invincible in the arena collided violently.The movement caused by it was almost earth-shattering, like two trains colliding on the same track.

The iron hooves of the war horses stirred up a thick cloud of smoke and dust in the arena, and no one could clearly see what was happening on the arena at this time.The audience at the scene only heard a loud noise like thunder coming from the field, followed by the sound of armor falling to the ground.

Everyone stretched their necks curiously and looked towards the center of the venue, their eyes widened as they waited for the smoke to clear away.It wasn't until a grey-brown horse that lost its owner came out of the smoke and ran to the sidelines to graze alone that they finally determined who was the final champion.

Before the smoke and dust on the field really cleared, the audience couldn't wait to shout to congratulate Gao Yuan for winning the final championship.Amidst the applause like overwhelming mountains and seas, a tall figure on horseback slowly emerged from the smoke and dust.
