Game of Thrones: Kings in the North

Chapter 182 Dragon's Lair Wolf City, Cersei's Conspiracy, King's Bloodline

In a luxurious mansion in King's Landing, two tall, muscular warriors in dark gray thick plate armor stood in front of Cersei and James.

James stroked the hilt of the gilded sword, "Sister, is this your new pet?"

Cersei was wearing a tunic brocade dress of blue and green with flowing skirts. She stretched out her soft hands and touched the warhammers of the two warriors. Hercules. Their weapons are the same warhammers as Robert's. Robert likes a brawny, brainless warrior like him, and Rustu and Thabeet will be new favorites at Robert's court."

James noticed that the two strong men were slightly shorter than the Mountain and taller than Sandor the Hound and Brienne.

Cersei proudly said: "Ed has the monster direwolf, and his skinchangers include the monster bear and giant eagle, and the Hercules Tabit and Rustu are my monsters. I want to use them to spread fear. "

James snorted softly, "Father arranged for Ser Gregor of the Mountain to stay in King's Landing. You have no shortage of monsters."

There was mischief in Cersei's green eyes, "The Mountain is my father's mad dog, his monster, not mine. Brother, do you think you can defeat Thabeet and Rustu who are wielding warhammers?"

James smiled, his blond hair gleaming in the sun.

"In the arena, this kind of opponent is still a little threatening. On the battlefield, hehe! I, the Red Viper, the Sword of Dawn and the Knight of Hundred Flowers can easily kill this kind of person."

Cersei said, "Hercules, take off your armor."

When Rustu and Tabit took off their armor, revealing their muscular arms and sweaty chests, the necks of the two strong men were like bulls, and their arms were as thick as elephant legs.Rustu has brown skin, long hair, a bushy beard, and a flame tattoo on his neck.

Thabeet was a Summer Islander, his skin black as coal, and he wore an iron ring on his nose.

Cersei proudly said: "Brother, are you still as confident as before? If you fall, Thabeet and Rustu can easily pinch your back."

James said: "It's big, but it's slow. The meteor hammer and the flying arrow are exactly the same."

Cersei waved to Hercules, "You can step back."

Thabeet and Rustu bowed and left, leaving only Cersei and James in the courtyard.

James was curious, "Where did you find these two strong men?"

Cersei said: "Robert is getting more and more difficult to control now. Once he finds out that Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen are all your seeds, he will definitely kill every child. The Kingsguard is now sworn to protect the royal family." Member, I bought Maryn Tran and Boros Brawne, but Barristan Selmy and Ser Alys Oakheart are too honorable to buy with money."

"Once Robert the Pig orders our children to be executed, more than half of your sworn brothers are our enemies. I must be ready for the children's safety."

"I sent someone to find the guards a few months ago. Joffrey has the Hound by his side, so I'm relieved. Myrcella and Tommen will also have to be alone. People in the Seven Kingdoms are not trustworthy, so we Send people to the Free Trade City to find them, and in Rees, the servants I sent found these two war slaves, and they killed the enemy like hemp."

James disdainfully said: "Reese? The bed slaves of Rees are the most famous. If you want to find a war slave who can fight, you have to go to Meereen in Slaver's Bay. In the arena there, gladiators die every day, and the blood is stained red. The sand of the arena."

Cersei said: "Rustu and Tabit were originally gladiators trained in the Arena of Meereen. They were the stars of the arena. Later, they were changed hands by many slave owners and moved to Rees. My servant bought them from Rees. When they were, they were pets of the Trade Prince of Lys."

"They are free now, and I will make them guards for the children, like Sandor the Hound."

James said: "Although Sandor has a gloomy and weird temper, after all, he comes from the Clegane family and is a vassal of the West. These two strongmen have been slaves in so many cities and changed so many masters. How can anyone be loyal?"

Cersei said to herself: "Gold is enough, loyalty is enough."

James said: "Maybe you should send your two loyal strongmen to prevent Ed from moving to the Dragon's Den. Tyrion said that Ed took the Winter Wolf Army to the Dragon's Den and left. The control range of the Red Fort will be a huge hidden danger."

Upon hearing Tyrion's name, Cersei suppressed her anger.

"Ed went to the dragon's lair to incubate the dragon. For the dragon, it is worth taking some risks. The dragon's lair on the Reynis hill is next to the flea nest. I have already arranged eyeliner there. Varys also asked I guarantee that when Ed arrives at the Dragon's Lair, every move of him and his family will still be monitored."

James sighed, "The octospider watches every one of us, and you trust the eunuch?"

Cersei said: "I don't trust anyone. I have to rely on Varys' intelligence network, but one day, I will replace Varys with my people. Even if Ed moved to the Dragon's Lair, I would still be in my hands." In the palm of my hand, Janos Slynt, Lord Commander of the City Watch, has taken Lannister's gold, and he is mine."

James said: "Anyone who takes money to do things for you can also betray you for money. Tyrion suspects that Janos Slynt is Littlefinger's man, anyway, I won't be like Slynt deal."

Cersei showed an evil smile and stroked James' heart, "So you are not suitable for ruling. The ruler must learn to dance with all kinds of demons and ghosts. Don't worry, Lannister is sure to win, because his father has long been in King's Landing, the king's land Arrangements were made."

James was curious: "What arrangement?"

In the bedroom of the Wolf King's mansion in the Red Castle, Caitlin was wearing a light red silk dress with a necklace of the Madonna of Suet Jade and Red Agate Trout on her chest.

"Ed, His Majesty Robert has rewarded us with such a large house. It is next to the Prime Minister's Tower. You can walk to the Throne Hall every day. The meeting hall is also convenient for the Winter Wolf Army to train in the Red Castle. I can visit the royal family anytime. Holy Church, it is also very convenient for you and the children to go to the Godswood of the Red Keep."

Ed lowered his voice, "This place is full of Queen Cersei, Varys and Littlefinger's eyeliner. It will be safer if we move out. I have long wanted to move out of the Red Keep, just when Robert ordered me to go to the dragon's lair to hatch dragons." Egg."

Caitlin frowned slightly, "Even so, you can hatch dragon eggs in the dragon's lair, there's no need to live there. We can go outside the Red Castle and rent a house, which is better than living in the dragon's lair."

Ed stroked Caitlin's snow-white neck, "What are you afraid of?" There was a statue of the Virgin on the neck necklace. Caitlin has always been a devout believer in the Seven Gods. Before, after hatching the dragon, Caitlin also began to believe in the old gods.

Catelyn is a devout believer in the old and new gods.

"Why do you want to go to the Dragon's Lair? I heard from Bachelor Norman that the Dragon's Lair is a ruin. The ancient bronze gate was closed more than 100 years ago. The last time the Dragon's Lair gate was opened was during the Great Plague of King's Landing during the time of King Aerys I. The Great Plague of King's Landing killed two-thirds of the population."

"The former Prime Minister, Brynden Rivers, ordered the gold robes and alchemists to pile up the corpses in the dragon's lair and burn them with wild fire. As a result, the sky in King's Landing turned a strange emerald color. I heard that there are ghosts everywhere. , Dragon's Lair is a cursed place, why do you want to go there?"

Ed softly said: "The enemies of the Red Castle are more terrifying than ghosts, Caitlin, let me tell you the truth, King's Landing may fall into turmoil at any time, we, Lannister, Baratheon, conspirators, maintain a fragile balance, Once this balance is disturbed, the Red Keep will become a place of killing."

"King's Landing is not Winterfell. We are far away from the center of rule. There are few weirwoods here, and the power of the old gods is weak. If we want to get out of the whole body, we must be careful. In the game of thrones, one wrong step, everything goes wrong." Lose. For the safety of Arya and Sansa, moving to Dragon's Lair is the best choice."

Fear was clearly written on Caitlin's face, "Will things really get out of control? During the Wolf King Ceremony, nobles from all over the place obviously gathered together for court feasts and martial arts tournaments."

Ed said: "That was just the hustle and bustle before the Great War. Wasn't the 'Wrong Spring' tourney in Harrenhal that year an obvious example? A martial arts tournament, and began his own path of death and destruction."

Caitlin worried: "I should have known, when Edmure returned to Riverrun a few days ago, I took the children and left with them."

Ed said: "You and Arya, Sansa, were invited by Robert's name, so you can't leave without saying goodbye, otherwise, you think I want you to stay here? Don't worry, Lannister expects me to help her hatch giants." Dragon, will not act rashly."

In fact, the three dragon egg fossils that Ed gave Robert were forged stones.Even if Ed had a real dragon egg in his hand, it would be difficult to successfully hatch it in a place like King's Landing. The last time a dragon was hatched in Winterfell was because of the weirwood heart tree that the Stark family worshiped and prayed for thousands of years. Blessed by the Old Gods, with the guidance of the Three-Eyed Raven, and possibly the Ghost of the Catacombs.

King's Landing is the religious center of the Faith of the Seven Gods. The Baelor Cathedral on the Visenya Hills is extremely luxurious. Monks, nuns, missionaries, and ragged clothes can be seen everywhere in King's Landing. They always love to promote the doomsday heresy The Seven Gods Prophets.

In King's Landing, the weirwood is hard to find, and the old gods are weak here.It's no wonder that in history, few of the Starks who went south from Winterfell to King's Landing escaped unscathed.

Ed ordered Ser Balon Swann, with a team of winter wolves and servants, to go to the deserted yard on Rhaenys Hill first, clear the weeds and trees, and clean the house.It is the place where the dragon's lair guards once lived, and no one has lived in it for more than 100 years.

Afterwards, Jory Cassel led a team of winter wolves, organized the wolf king's servants, and began to load luggage, furniture, etc. into the carriage and transport them away.

Arya was playing in the yard with her servants Alma Frey, Edric Dane, Hot Pie the Bread Boy, and Romy the Green Hand.Today's Arya is simply the king of children, and many children are obedient to Arya.

Since Ed was named Wolf King by King Robert, Sansa and Arya also had the status of princesses.Sansa has always been a polite and noble lady. As for Arya, even when she became a princess, she still likes to play with the stable boys and the kitchen boys.

"Father, are we going to move to the Dragon's Den?"

Ed said: "Yes, we are going to hatch the dragon there."

Arya was very happy, took Hot Pie, Alma, Romy, and Direwolf Nymeria, and left in the first carriage to move.

The ten-year-old Edric Dane, the Earl of Starfall City, stayed where he was. Edric said: "Your Highness Wolf, Miss Arya and Miss Sansa, Domeric and Laresa, have taught me a lot. Things, I don't have that many good friends in Dorne."

Ed patted Edric's head, "I have many sons and adopted sons in my family in Winterfell. If you are willing to join the big family of Winterfell, you can be my adopted son." Back then, the God of Dawn The sword died under Ed's sword. Ashara and Ed still have a relationship that is constantly cutting and chaotic. Ed feels that he has an obligation to take care of the Dane family.

Edric Dane was very excited, so under the witness of the Lightning King and the red monk Soros, Edrick officially accepted Edric Dane as his adopted son.Among Ed's adopted sons, there is another nobleman.

Sansa came over, looking a little unhappy, "Father, can I stay? Prince Joffrey said, I can live in any guest room, anyway, there are plenty of guest rooms in the Red Castle."

Ed pulled Sansa into a corner, "Sansa, didn't I tell you? Stay away from Joffrey, he is a beast in clothes, King Robert told me he cut the she-cat with a knife pregnant belly, just for fun."

Sansa widened her ignorant eyes, "Father, it's just a rumor. People are jealous of Joffrey, and they will slander them maliciously. Why do you have prejudice against Joffrey? He is so handsome, so friendly, kind, and rich. charm."

As a young girl, Sansa likes pretty boys, Ed can understand.Ed noticed that Sansa was always happy when she was with Domeric, Waymar Royce, and the Knight of Flowers.

Joffrey was tall and handsome, but Domeric and Waymar Royce were also handsome, and as for the Knight of Flowers, any handsome boy was grass before Ser Loras.

Today, Ed arranges Domilik and Waymar Royce to be responsible for protecting Sansa every day, just to satisfy his daughter's fantasies about beautiful men. He really doesn't understand why Sansa is obsessed with Joffrey.

iron throne.Ed suddenly remembered that in Winterfell, Caitlin and Sister Mordane often taught Sansa that to become a lady, she must always pay attention to noble etiquette, and only a lady has the chance to marry the king.

People like Loras, Domeric, and Waymar Royce may be more handsome than Joffrey, but they are not heirs to the Iron Throne.

Ed looked at Sansa with suspicion in his heart, "Good girl, you like Joffrey, and you dream of becoming a queen?"

Sansa blushed politely, "Why not? Isn't every girl like this? After becoming queen, countless ladies and knights would kneel in front of me and swear allegiance to me. Sister Mordane and I said, King Robert is as close to you as brothers, and King Robert will not refuse if father proposes marriage."

Ed believes in Cersei, and Robert is willing to let Sansa and Joffrey get engaged, but in this case, Sansa will have to stay in the Red Castle for a long time and become a hostage of Lannister. Sooner or later, Joffrey will reveal his cruelty nature.Sansa evidently did not foresee such danger.

Sansa has always dreamed of becoming the queen of Joffrey and giving birth to a healthy baby for King Joffrey. She wants to raise the crown prince and become an excellent king in the future. This can be regarded as a dream of power!
Ed stroked Sansa's long chestnut hair with his hand, "Daughter, it's nothing to be a queen. I became the wolf king, and you are already a princess. Why do you have to marry Joffrey? However, if you insist In a few years, I will propose marriage to King Robert for you." Provided Robert and Joffrey survived a few years.

Sansa showed a sweet smile, "Really? You are such a good father to me!"

Ed said: "Now, take your direwolf lady and go to the dragon's lair in a carriage."

On the hill of Reyneth, Caitlin and Ed stood in front of the huge bronze gate, looking up at the huge dragon lair like a mountain.

Caitlin murmured: "Gods have mercy, isn't this place too big?"

"This used to be a giant dragon's lair, of course it's huge." Ed turned around, "Repairing the dragon's lair is a long-term project. Let's restore our winter wolf army's yard first."

The courtyard near the dragon lair was the place where the dragon guards of the Targaryen family lived. The dragon guards were responsible for protecting the safety of the dragon lair and the dragons. However, during the time of Aegon III, the last young dragon died in the dragon Since then, the Dragon Cave has been abandoned, and these courtyards have also been abandoned. It has been more than 100 years since no one lived there.

The courtyard is full of trees and weeds, and the doors and windows of some courtyards are covered with moss. Fortunately, the courtyard is made of stone, which is still strong after a hundred years.

The red-robed monk Soros, Earl of Beric Dondarrion, led the Winter Wolf Army and servants to clear away the weeds and cut down the trees. The servants cleaned up the dust in the house, put them on beds, tables and chairs, and spread velvet bedding and dense quilts. Carpets from Err, and tapestries from Norvoth.

Soon, the innermost courtyard took on a new look.

"Your Highness Wolf, you can live in now." Count Berry, the Lightning King, extended an invitation to Ed.

Since Earl Beric came to King's Landing, he has been loved by the residents of Flea Hole. Ed gave him the nickname "Lightning King", and Earl Beric is willing to accept it.

Ed, Caitlin, Arya, and Sansa walked in. Sansa pinched her nose, "It smells weird here, and it's far worse than the conditions in the Red Castle."

Arya said: "Don't be so precious! How nice it is here! You can also climb trees, go to the dragon's lair for adventure, and go down the mountain to the flea nest, and you can meet many new friends."

Sansa frowned and said, "Don't think about it, those new friends stink just like your friend Romy, hot pie. Flea dens are where fleas and gutter mice gather, and only poor people live there."

Ed said: "Sansa, the nobles must win the love of the people, so you must respect the common people, otherwise, the common people will not be able to fight for you. The mad king Aerys, the cruel Maegor is because he cannot get the support of the common people. And collapsed."

Sansa lowered her head and said, "Father, please forgive me. I was agitated for a moment, and then I said something wrong."

After Arya and Sansa left, Caitlin and Ed walked out of the yard and came to the hill of Rhaenys Hill, overlooking the Baelor Cathedral in the southwest, the largest church in Westeros, standing in Wessan On the hills of Niah, the seven crystal towers are clearly visible, and in the twilight of dusk, they emit colorful lights.

Caitlin clasped her hands together, "It would be great if we lived in the Visenya Hills! There is not even a godswood and a sanctuary here, and there is no care of old and new gods."

Ed said: "We can tidy up a yard to make a sanctuary. As for the godswood, although there is no weirwood, we can circle a forest and carve human faces on it."

Caitlin was a little worried, "But without the weirwood, the power of the old gods would be much weaker. Can the old gods hear our prayers? Will the old gods take care of us?"

Fortunately, apart from the care of the old gods, Ed has the winter wolf army, skinchangers and direwolves in his hands, who will protect the safety of his family.

Caitlin looked at the huge open-air fortress dragon lair, "There used to be many dragons living here, but the last one died here. Ed, His Majesty Robert asked you to hatch the dragon, we sincerely pray , once the dragon is hatched, we can return to Winterfell."

Hatching the dragon is just a cover, and setting up camp in the dragon's lair is Ed's purpose.

With his home on the Rhaenys Hills, Ed can work on repairing the Dragon's Lair, strengthening the fortifications on the way up the mountain.Ed could even build a castle if Lannister is always looking forward to hatching dragons and is willing to give Ed more time.

To the south of the Rhaenys Hill is Flea Nest, where there are many hungry poor people who come to King's Landing to beg for a living. With a few copper coins or even a meal, they can hire workers to work on the construction site. There is no problem with the manpower for repairing the dragon's lair and building the castle.

The Wolf's Castle on the Rhaenys Hill in King's Landing is far away from the Red Castle on the Aegon High Hill in the southeast, and the Baelor Cathedral on the Visenya Hill in the southwest. Ed is very excited when he thinks of this place.

Rhaenys Hill is one of the three hills in King's Landing, and it is also the northernmost hill. In the future, the Winter Wolf Army will be stationed there, and they can easily attack the flea nests in the slums of King's Landing in the south, and attack the traditional King's Landing south of the old city gate in the north. wealthy suburb.

When necessary, Ed can also command the Winter Wolf Army to capture the old city gate just north of the Reynis Hill, the giant dragon gate to the northeast and the steel gate to the east.

On that day, Jory Cassel led the cavalry to clear out a yard and transform the yard into a stable. The abandoned yard next to the stable was filled with fodder, and all the cavalry's war horses were fed in the stable.

After Ed came to King's Landing, he recruited soldiers and horses. The 1000 Winter Wolf Army who followed the Wolf King to King's Landing had grown to nearly [-] people, and the number of horses was [-] more than the number of people. Therefore, the Winter Wolf Army had plenty of horses.

There are several ancient wells on the Rhaenys Hill, with plenty of water.

Domilik and Ferran took the soldiers to clean up a yard and put it on the stove. Bogus, the cook Ed hired from King's Landing, brought Hot Pie, Green Hand Romy, Kutz, Voss, Cos and other kitchen staff. Servant, get buckets of olive oil, apples, pumpkin, flour, bread, jerky, lemons and blueberries from the food court.

Bocuse is the chef Renly recommended to Ed. He is good at making blueberry cake and lemon cake. He is deeply loved by Sansa and Caitlin. He is now Ed's kitchen manager.

The Winter Wolf Army moved barrels of vodka and blueberry wine into the cellar of the Dragon's Lair.Ed's black bear Randolph and the white bear Xiaojia rolled wine barrels with the soldiers. These two bears have grown up a lot and can easily smash people's backs and heads.

In the future, on the Rhaenys Hill, the servants can cook for Ed and the Winter Wolf Army. In this way, the possibility of being poisoned and conspired by the enemy is much reduced.When we were in the Red Castle, the meals were provided by the Royal Kitchen of the Red Castle. Before every meal, Dawson of Aegis and Syrio Forel tasted it.

Bachelor Norman took his ravens and medicines and lived in an old tower, which will be the bachelor's tower of Dragon's Lair in the future.

Ed called for Captain Jory Cassel.

"Jory, from now on, the Rhaenis Hills will be our territory. You divide the Winter Wolf Army into three shifts, and take turns to stand guard and patrol. No one is allowed to go up the mountain without permission."

"The underground warehouse of the Dragon's Lair has an underground passage extending directly to the foot of the Visenya hills. It is where the Alchemist Guild used to store the wildfire. Soldiers should also be sent below to guard it."

After Jory Cassel left, Ed called the Eagle King McCain and the Giant Eagle Prince Michu.

"McCain, you send out your owls, hawks and falcons, and take turns to patrol around the sky above the Rhaenys Hill, focusing on the old city gate and the steel gate. Michu, you ride a giant eagle to patrol the sky above the Rhaenys Hill, I will hand over the ground patrol to the bear king Byers, the direwolves and the winter wolf army."

Eagle King McCain raised his snow-white eyebrows upwards, "Father of life, is it really going to war?"

Ed said: "Be prepared, winter is coming."

There was a murderous look in the eyes of the giant eagle prince Mi Chu, "Any enemy provokes, we will kill them, take out their black hearts, and let the giant eagle eat them."

The next day, the Lightning King, Earl Berry, and the red-robed monk Soros recruited more than 300 craftsmen and laborers from the flea nest. On the way up the mountain, the city walls and arrow towers were built. Byers' bear helped people carry stones together. A group of craftsmen and small workers all stared wide-eyed when they saw the big bear, fearful and curious.

Sister Mordane and Arya, with the maid Osha and others, cleaned up a courtyard, placed portraits of the Seven Gods, and lit incense candles. , the first chapel.The Sinhuai Sanctuary back then was built to commemorate Queen Rhaenys, but it was burnt down by dragon flames when the "cruel" Maegor suppressed the religious sect's armed rebellion.

Ed chose a grove on the Rhaenis Hills as the godswood forest. Since there was no weirwood on the Rhaenis Hills, Ed chose to carve a human face on an elm tree as the heart tree.

Ed stroked the weirwood bracelet on his right wrist, a gift from the Three-Eyed Raven.Though there are no weirwoods here, the old gods are still with me.

In the Red Castle, Joffrey was dressed in red and gold silk robes, standing in front of the mirror, and Cersei was arranging Joffrey's clothes.

"Joffrey, you shine. Tell mother, tell me, you can win me Sansa's heart."

Joffrey's fat lips, like two pieces of worms after the rain, were pursed.

"Sansa is stupid. I'd rather be with Miss Margery. At least she doesn't look as stupid as Sansa."

Cersei didn't like Margaery, and Rose of Highgarden became a star figure in Robert's court. She was amiable, beautiful and dignified, and everyone loved her.From Cersei's point of view, since Margaery entered the palace, she seemed to be seducing Robert and Joffrey at the same time.

"Margaery is greedy for father and son," thought Cersei darkly.

Cersei can tolerate Robert messing around outside. As a king, no one can stop him from stealing. After all, Cersei and James have a good time when Robert is not around. Sayre for a change.As long as the woman wasn't brought back to the Red Keep, Cersei could pretend not to see what Robert wanted to do.

All Robert used to look for were whores, or young commoners, and few nobles.A noble lady of Margaret's level, who took the initiative to approach Robert, was obviously ambitious.

If Margaery is stupid enough to sleep with Robert in the Red Castle, Cersei made up her mind that once she is caught in bed, she must strip Margaery's clothes, and then send nuns to drag Margaery, a slut, to parade through the streets. Walking from the Red Castle all the way to the Great Sept of Baelor, let those untouchables appreciate Margaret's naked appearance.

Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on Cersei's face.

"Mom, what are you laughing at?" Joffrey's words brought Cersei back from the fantasy in her mind to reality.

"It's nothing." Cersei held Joffrey's face and kissed lightly, "Joffrey, go to Rhaenys Hill, visit Sansa, and take her to King's Landing. By the way, ask Shansa Sha, what is Ed the wolf king's plan? Sansa is a stupid girl, she can't resist the charm of your prince, and she will tell you the truth."

On the Rhaenys Hill, Sansa was wearing a crystal-colored brocade dress, and the direwolf lady beside her was gracefully beside her. A huge gray shadow passed by. Sansa looked at Michu, the giant eagle prince, riding a giant The eagle landed in front of her.

"Michu, can you fly with me in the future?"

Mi Chu shrugged lazily, "Miss Sansa, flying is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will fall from a high altitude. I don't want to take you on a risk."

Sansa said: "In the Red Castle, many nobles and attendants are interested in giant eagles. If you participate in court activities more, you will definitely meet many new friends."

Mi Chu said: "I am the servant of the living father, and I don't need to know other nobles. The living father placed my family, the members of my giant eagle tribe, in Winterfell. Winterfell has the needs of the giant eagle tribe. Everything, I will not miss the south."

Sansa curled her lips, "But the south is more prosperous! King's Landing has the Great Sept of Baelor, the Red Keep and the Dragon's Den, and there are ships from all over the world in the port. I heard from Miss Margaery that the Reach is full of flowers, and everywhere Fields of wheat, grapes, and pumpkins full of fruit."

Mi Chu said indifferently: "Miss Sansa, no matter how good the south is, it is not our hometown. The north and beyond are our homeland."

Joffrey took the hound Sandor Clegane to the top of the Rhaenys Hill, but was stopped by the red monk Thoros of the Winter Wolf Army.

Sandor Clegane wore smoke-gray plate, with a hound-shaped helmet tucked under his arm.

Soros was smoking a bronze pipe. He smiled and said, "Sandor, why did you come here? Did the dog get lost?"

Sandor said unhappily: "Soros, I thought you had gone back to Myr. It turned out that you joined the Winter Wolf Army. It seems that Ed can't recruit people, even people like you."

Sandor has always hated Soros, the red-robed monk, because every time a group contest, Soros finally wields a flaming sword and rampages. Because he was pushed into the brazier by his brother Moshan when he was a child, Sandor has always been very afraid of flames, and was beaten many times. Soros was defeated, and in recent years, Sandor simply withdrew from the group competition.

Solo said: "Your Majesty Wolf, here, there is enough wine, meat and tobacco. This is a good job."

Sandor said, "Cut the fuckin nonsense, Prince Joffrey is going to see Miss Sansa."

Joffrey and the Hound came to Sansa.

The sun shone down on Joffrey's blond hair, making him look regal and handsome, and Sansa's heart almost melted.

"Prince Joffrey, why are you here?"

Joffrey said, "To see my fair Miss Sansa, of course."

At this time, Joffrey noticed the giant eagle and Michu beside him, his eyes revealed a trace of contempt, "Are you that barbarian flying around the Red Castle?"

Sansa introduced: "This is Michu, Prince of the Giant Eagle."

Joffrey said disdainfully: "He is a wildling beyond the Wall, what kind of prince is he?"

Sansa said in surprise, "Prince Joffrey, it's really rude of you to say that."

Michu looked at Joffrey coldly, and the giant eagle also stared at Joffrey, as if staring at a dying mouse.

Joffrey was a little scared, "Sansa, I invite you to play in the Great Sept of Baelor, and then we can go to the river and watch the Braavos Troupe perform "A Dance with the Dragon" tonight."

Sansa followed Prince Joffrey, Sandor left the Rhaenys Hills, and two Winter Wolf soldiers escorted Sansa.

Prince Joffrey and Sansa, in the Great Cathedral of Baelor, saw the woodcarvings and glass panes sold here by Winterfell, the images of the Virgin, Father, Stranger, blacksmith, maiden, old woman, and warrior came to life. The price of a work of art is as high as hundreds or even thousands of gold dragons.

Afterwards, they rode to the Blackwater River, where they watched the Braavosi play "A Dance with Dragons" at the place where the tournament ground had been.

When he saw the queen's illegitimate children dying one after another on the stage, Joffrey smiled, "The bastard still dreams of inheriting the Iron Throne, it deserves to be so miserable."

Sansa said: "This is how the play is performed, but in history, the three children of Queen Rhaenyla and Lannor are not necessarily illegitimate children, they all have dragons."

Joffrey said: "Uncle Little Demon told me. The dragon's blood on them is inherited from their mother, and their father is that Harwin Strong. A Kingsguard sleeps with the queen. Shameless." .”

As wolf king and minister of the interior, Ed can enter most places in King's Landing at will. During the few days when he moved to the Reynis Hills, Ed sent out the Winter Wolf Army, distributed free food in the flea nest, and opened the wolf's cafeteria. Provide food that is much better than brown soup, and relieve civilians.

Hot Pie, Green Hand Romy and other children carry a dustpan in the flea nest every day, selling bread and hot pies, in fact, inquiring about information for Ed.Lord Berry, the Lightning King, placed many eyeliners in Flea Nest, Shoemaker's Square, and wealthy areas, allowing the Winter Wolf Army to pretend to be businessmen and peddlers, and roam the streets.

Although Ed's current intelligence network is not worth mentioning compared to the octospider, he has taken the first step after all.

Ed focused on the three city gates closest to the dragon's lair.

The first thing Ed visited was the old city gate. This city gate is located in the direction of the north of the Reyneth Hill. The nearby block is the wealthy area of ​​King's Landing. The Silk Street, where there are many high-end brothels, is located near the old city gate. Many Craftsmen, masters, and nobles from all over the world who stayed at Robert's court had mansions near the old city gates.

The gate captain of the old city gate is Aral Diem, who is the confidant of Janos Slynt, the commander of the capital garrison.

The captain of the Giant Dragon Gate is an illegitimate son named Humphrey Weishui. Weishui is the surname of an illegitimate son in the royal area, which is the same as Xue Nuo in the northern border.Humphrey Weishui has a good reputation among the people and the golden robes, and Ed thinks that this person may be able to win over.

Afterwards, Ed inspected the Golden Robe's barracks, and the commander of the Golden Robe, Janos Slynt, received Ed.

"Your Highness Wolf, there is nothing to see in the barracks, let's go to a nearby inn for a drink or two?"

Ed shook his head, "I noticed that the equipment of the golden robe on the street is of poor quality. Lord Slynt, some people suspect that you have deducted the money spent on the military supplies of the golden robe. Is it true?"

Janos Slynt said angrily: "This is slander! I, Slynt, have never embezzled a copper coin!"

Ed ordered Janos Slynt to open the armory, and he looked through the gold robes in the box.

"Look, there are holes in this golden cloak, and this armor is too thin, which is completely illegal. King's Landing is the capital of the king, and the golden robe represents the image of the Seven Kingdoms. You dare to skip the military uniform, Master Genos, you are going too far."

Genos's forehead was covered with sweat, "Your Highness Wolf, the golden robe and armor have always been like this! The quality is not bad."

"I'll let you off this time. The uniforms of your golden robes are unqualified, so I confiscated them." Ed ordered that Sir Baron Swann and King Lightning start leading the Winter Wolf Army to confiscate these uniforms.

Janos Slynt was also relieved to see Ed not holding him personally accountable.

When they reached the gate of the barracks, a shirtless man in a golden robe came over. He was a big man.

"Your Highness Wolf, my name is Lemon. Janos Slynt always deducts wages. I was beaten by him when I protested. I don't want to serve in the golden robe. I want to join the Winter Wolf Army."

Ed nodded, "Sure, you will join the Lightning King's team in the future."

A few days later, Robert and Cersei invite Eddard to dinner at the Red Keep, and Tyrion sits next to Eddard.Jaime and Ser Barristan stood by.

Cersei wore a wine-red low-cut fur dress with a ruby ​​belt around her waist, "Wolf King, how is your dragon egg hatching in the dragon's lair?"

Ed said: "In addition to dealing with government affairs, I pray devoutly in the godswood forest in front of the dragon's lair every day. Incubating a dragon does not happen overnight. You have to give me enough time."

Robert smoked from his briar pipe.

"That's right, Cersei, what are you urging? The Stark family prayed for thousands of years in the godswood in Winterfell before the old gods gave their blessings. Ed moved to the dragon's lair and prayed for a few years. God, what are you in a hurry for?"

Tyrion stared at Ed with those eyes of different sizes, and he said with a smirk: "Wolf King, I heard that your Winter Wolf Army is strengthening the fortifications and building arrow towers on the Rhaenys Hill. , is this also part of prayer?"

Ed said: "There are three priceless dragon eggs in the dragon's lair. It is next to the flea nest. It is normal for me to build a city wall and an arrow tower! Although King's Landing is currently peaceful and peaceful, it is safe to be prepared. Don't forget, the dragon was extinct back then. , largely because the mob attacked the dragon lair, killed too many dragons, and stole too many dragon eggs."

Cersei said: "Wolf King, Your Majesty and I have high hopes for you to hatch the dragon. Don't let us down. You are invited tonight, and there is one more important thing. I hope that Joffrey can be with Shan Sarah is engaged."

It was time to come. Joffrey visited Sansa frequently in the Dragon's Lair these days, and Ed knew that Cersei was planning a conspiracy.

Robert said: "Ed, we are good brothers. It's rare that the two children Sansa and Joffrey get along well. I think they are a couple, which just makes up for the regret that I couldn't marry Lyanna back then."

Ed slowly said: "Robert, I really want Sansa to get engaged to Joffrey, and I even want Arya to get engaged to Tommen, but the engagement ceremony must be under the watchful eyes of the weirwood heart tree in Winterfell." .”

A hint of doubt flashed in Cersei's green eyes, "Winterfell's daughters are engaged, is there such a custom? This is the first time I've heard of it."

Ed took a sip of the blue nobleman, "Before the dragon hatched, there really wasn't one. You know, when I hatched the dragon in Winterfell, it was inseparable from the prayers of my two innocent daughters. My daughter got engaged and naturally got Winterfell." go."

Cersei originally hoped to use Joffrey's marriage contract to tie Ed's daughter Sansa and keep Sansa in King's Landing for a long time. Unexpectedly, Ed actually turned against the general and insisted on holding the engagement ceremony in Winterfell.If Joffrey and Tommen get to the north, it will be difficult to get out unscathed.

Robert frowned and said, "Anyway, the children are still young, and the engagement can be put in a few years later."

Ed said: "Robb and Princess Myrcella are the most suitable ones. Robb is the future wolf king of the North, and it is perfect for Princess Myrcella to marry Robb. Anyway, Myrcella stays in the Red Castle all day. It's fine, why don't you send her to Winterfell, if she falls in love with Robb, Stark and the royal family, then she can get engaged."

"That's a good idea," said Robert gruffly.

Cersei forced a smile, "It is impossible for Myrcella to marry far away in the north. Our daughter is a devout believer of the Seven Gods, so she can only marry a believer of the Seven Gods."

Robert laughed heartily, "Ed, hurry up and hatch the dragon. When Stark and Baratheon both have dragons, the distance will not be a problem when our sons and daughters get married."

After the banquet, Robert and Eddie left, leaving only Tyrion, Jaime and Cersei in the hall.

James said: "Ed doesn't want to be engaged at all. He's afraid that the baby girl will stay in King's Landing."

Tyrion said: "Ed hatches a dragon, the more it looks like a cover. I noticed that Ed is buying people's hearts in flea nests and rich areas, and there are many of his eyeliners. He has learned to use octopus Spider, Littlefinger's tricks are on us."

"I heard Janos Slynt complain that Ed confiscated hundreds of sets of armor from the golden robe on the grounds of poor quality, but he didn't mention anything at the imperial meeting."

Cersei snorted softly, "Is Ed poor and crazy? Even snatching the armor of the golden robe?"

Tyrion said darkly: "If Ed's purpose of confiscating the armor is to make money, then luckily. I'm worried, in case, he let his winter wolf army, disguised as gold robes, suddenly attack the Red Keep ,this"

Cersei was taken aback, "Ed really wants to do this, but it's treason. If Robert finds out that Ed is hoarding gold robes and armor, Robert's warhammer."

"I won't hit my good brother Ed." Tyrion showed the sweetest smile, "Janos Slynt and his gang of scum, which family does not hide a batch of gold robe equipment, armor With the style of Robert and Mud, even if you go to sue Ed for hoarding gold robe uniforms, it will not prove anything."

Cersei pondered for a while, "Ed's strength is not worth mentioning. I also hid a lot of mercenaries in King's Landing. Ed stayed in the Rhaenys Hill, surrounded on all sides, with good bows and crossbows, and catapults ready How can he escape? If he can't hatch a dragon, he won't be able to leave King's Landing alive."

Robert and Ed walked through the godswood at the Red Keep, the leaves rustling.

"Ed, our child will be engaged in the future, you must help me and take good care of my child. Joffrey is a bit naughty, but Myrcella and Tommen are good children."

These are wild Lannisters and have nothing to do with you. James greened you. Ed wanted to tell Robert, but would Robert believe it?The more than 300 million golden dragons that Lannister lent to the royal family are not in vain. Lannister's gold has long penetrated into every corner of King's Landing, churches, golden robes, and the Kingsguard.
And the nobles near the kingdom.Ed's subordinates inquired from the flea nest that when Duke Tywin left King's Landing, arrangements were made in Stokeworthburg, Rosby City, and Harvard City, but no one knew what the specific arrangements were.

From a factual point of view, Robert's illegitimate children with other women are all black-haired, and Baratheon's black hair has strong features.Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen are all blond. The "Seven Kingdoms Noble Genealogy" of the Master Merion can prove that Lannister married Baratheon, and the offspring they gave birth to were all black-haired.

In the eyes of decent people, the evidence that Cersei's child is a bastard is conclusive. However, fairness and justice do not exist in King's Landing. People here can still shout for your performance in the tournament the day before Hurray, the next day you may be eager to see you beheaded, hanged, and thrown stones and eggs at the heroes of the past in the cage.

It is estimated that Robert will lose his life when he starts to investigate the child's lineage, and Jon Arryn and Ed will be buried with him.

The leaves of the godswood rustled, and Robert patted Ed's shoulder, "Jon Arryn is getting old, and my child can only be entrusted to you in the future. You must take good care of my child."

Ed nodded, "Robert, don't worry, I will take good care of them."

However, what Ed needs to take care of is not Lannister's bastards, but Robert's illegitimate children, those bastards who appear in the illusion of the Isle of Thousand Faces, Ed knows them, some of them are in King's Landing, and Ed wants to grab them Dig them out before Lannister, otherwise, these illegitimate children will surely die if they fall into Cersei's hands.

Fortunately, in the past few days, Ed's men have already found out the whereabouts of Robert's illegitimate children.

Ed took Sir Balon Swann, the Lightning King, to a high-end brothel on Silk Street.

The procuress of the brothel, Shataya, is a native of the Summer Islands. She is as black as jet jade, wearing a long amber silk dress, with a noble temperament.

"Your Highness Wolf, you shined brilliantly in the martial arts tournament. The girls in our brothel are all looking forward to the Wolf King's visit! I don't know what kind of girl the Wolf King likes? We have plenty of beauties for you to choose from."

Ed said indifferently: "I'm here to visit my friend's child." Ed whispered to Sataya.

Shataya froze for a moment, "I see, please follow me."

In the backyard of the brothel, Ed meets Robert's daughter, Bara, who is only a few months old, being nursed by her mother, Lori, who is still young.

Lori has blonde hair and Barra has thick black hair.Strong proof of Baratheon's blood.

Ed said: "Lou Li, I want to adopt your daughter as an adopted daughter, come with me!"

Loli frowned, "Your Highness Wolf, does that man want me? I've been waiting for him."

Ed said: "It is because of that man's care that I come to take care of you."

Luo Li lowered her head, "If His Highness Wolf is willing, I am willing to be your mistress."

Ed said: "Lou Li, you are still young, you don't need to be anyone's mistress, you can still support yourself. Bara and you will never worry about food and clothing, come with me!" Ed gave Sataya Three golden dragons were used as a fee to redeem Lori's body.

Danli, Ailaya, Mary and other prostitutes came to send off Lori and Bara's mother and daughter. These people are all prostitutes, but they take care of the young Bara together. In Ed's eyes, these prostitutes are more than Some sanctimonious ladies are much more noble.

Ed brought Lori, Bara's mother and daughter, back to the house next to the Dragon's Den. Caitlin frowned and said, "Ed, do you have another illegitimate daughter?"

Ed said: "This is Robert's illegitimate daughter, we must protect her, otherwise, Cersei may kill their mother and daughter."

Caitlin was relieved, and she immediately arranged for a maid to arrange a room for Loli and Bara, the mother and daughter.

Ed took the Lightning King, Sir Balon Swann, and rode straight to Steel Street.

Iron Street is a neighborhood where blacksmiths gather in Junlin. Horseshoes, sickles, and iron chains are made at the foot of the mountain. The higher you go, the higher the specifications of the blacksmith shop.

Ed came to Tob Mott's blacksmith shop, and Tob Mott greeted him quickly. He was wearing a gorgeous black velvet silk coat with the blacksmith's coat of arms engraved with gold thread, and the sleeves were full of freshwater pearls.

Tob Mott is a well-known weapon master in the King's Landing Blacksmith Guild. He earns a lot of money. He is one of the few blacksmiths in King's Landing who masters Valyrian steel refining technology. He learned this skill from Quohor back then. .

When Ed said he was looking for Gendry, Robert's illegitimate son, Tobe Mott's face immediately lost his smile. He took Ed to the backyard, and Ed saw Gendry.

Gendry was a stocky man, wearing a dungaree short sleeve, with strong arms, a hairy chest, eyes and hair like Robert's, and a horned helmet tucked under his arm.

"Come with me, Gendry! I need a blacksmith."

Tob Mott hurriedly stopped him, "Your Highness Wolf, there is no reason, you can't take him away."

Ed handed over a golden dragon, "You have a lot of money."

Tob Mott pushed the money back to Ed, "I don't want your money. Gendry is my apprentice, I don't want my apprentice to get into trouble, you and I both know who Gendry is, I don't want this kid, with the court There's an intersection between people, and it's going to kill him."

Ed said: "Staying here will kill him, and it may also implicate you."

Tob Mott said: "As a master, you must protect your apprentice. No matter what, I will not let you take Gendry away."

Ed admired Tob Mott very much. This master blacksmith was stubborn, but he had a good character.Ed turned to Gendry, "Boy, if you encounter trouble in the future, remember to find me in the Dragon's Lair."

One afternoon, while Cersei was walking in the Red Keep, Littlefinger appeared in front of her.

"Your Majesty, can you take a step to speak?"

Cersei asked the maid and James to wait. She walked over and asked suspiciously, "What is it? It's mysterious."

Littlefinger said: "The Wolf King seems to have suddenly taken an interest in Robert's illegitimate son. He found an illegitimate daughter from the Sataya brothel, and went to Steel Street to find Tob Mott, Master Armsman, and asked for one. An illegitimate son named Gendry, fortunately rejected by Tob Mott."

Cersei's heart tightened immediately, and Littlefinger showed a narrow smile, "These bastards all have black hair, just like Robert. What does the Wolf King want Robert's bastards for? I'm curious!"

Cersei tried to stay calm, "Master Littlefinger, thank you for sharing the news, I will take care of it."

After Littlefinger left, James leaned over, "What did Littlefinger say to you?"

Cersei said angrily, "Send someone quickly to Tobe Mott's blacksmith shop on Steel Street, and kill that bastard named Gendry."

At night, Ed fell asleep, and whispers came from the weirwood bracelet on his wrist. In the dream, Ed turned into a direwolf and ran wildly in the hills of Rhaenys.

Suddenly, the sky spun, blood tore the sky, and flames engulfed the stars.

Ed saw a silver-haired prince holding a silver-stringed harp, behind him was a blood-red three-headed dragon spouting flames, and the surrounding river began to boil. Suddenly, the harp in the silver-haired prince's hand turned into a sharp sword, The sword grid killed the warrior in the stag helmet and holding the war hammer.

A group of mockingbirds came chirping and surrounded an eagle. Under the moonlight, the mockingbirds tore off the eagle's wings, and the eagle fell to the ground and died.

A woman in a blood-red dress is manipulating the giant titan, tearing apart one enemy after another. Ed saw that the woman in the blood-red dress had flames dancing wildly in her eyes, and the big ruby ​​on her chest drank blood.
