The Glory of the Seven Gods of Ice and Fire

Chapter 20 The beginning of the purge?

When the towering city walls of King's Landing appeared in front of him, Hugo looked at this important stage in the original work with emotion. This was the first time he had seen this city.

As a strongman with a reputation in all parties, how could Hugo dare to approach King's Landing, the center of the struggle, where trying to kill him was just a matter of convenience for others.

Under the walls of King's Landing, many houses "grow" like parasites. This is the outer city of King's Landing, home to those who have no money to live in the city. There are also some warehouses and business stores scattered here.

Now the outer city is under construction. After the Targaryen army lost the Battle of the Trident, the crazy King Targaryen demolished the outer city that could provide materials and cover for the attackers in order to defend the city - this is all The fate of buildings beyond the city walls.

Now, with the end of the war, the tenacious people of King's Landing naturally began to rebuild their homes. Many people of King's Landing had been prepared for the war, so the houses were already assembled with lightweight materials. Now they only need to be reassembled.

But even so, there are still people who can only live in shacks and work as laborers to save money to build houses. After all, not everyone thinks that far.

The existence of the slums in the outer city is in sharp contrast with the majestic city wall. It is like a stain on the city wall. It is really unsightly to look at.

However, Hugo didn't have the time to think about the construction of King's Landing. Gregor Sanrigang suddenly appeared in front of him. The famous butcher stood there like a mountain wall. Beside him was Yamoqi. The pig-eyed Sir now had a bandage on his face, and his eyes were full of resentment when he looked at Hu Ge.

"Lord Hugo, the expeditionary force can stop here. This is the order of the Iron Throne. When His Majesty the King returns from hunting in the royal forest, he will give you further orders."

Sir Gregor seemed to be a man of few words. Just being spoken to by him made him feel extremely stressed. Even if Hugo was used to this person, he would feel uncontrollably stressed.

Tywin has a really good eye for raising wild beasts. The Magic Mountain is perfect for showing off intimidation, not to mention that he is also a terror-creating machine. Although the Amochi guy is ugly, his methods are even more ruthless than the Magic Mountain. Then Hu Ge couldn't help but think of Lord Goat, who was also a "genius". He was able to bring these "talents" under his command. It can only be said that Tywin was also quite unscrupulous.

"Then do as you say, Sir."

After all, Magic Mountain is holding the Iron Throne's command arrow. As a servant of the Iron Throne, Hu Ge can only obey the orders of the Iron Throne.

After saying this, Magic Mountain left silently. Yamoqi glared at Hu Ge several times, but he could only leave silently. Hu Ge gave him a "go well" expression. It was fun to see the clown getting angry. of.

Next, he asked the soldiers around him to hand over the order. At this time, Jillian rode up to Hu Ge.

"Hu Ge, do you want me to reprimand Magic Mountain and Yamoqi?" Jillian looked at the two leaving people with a somewhat unhappy look in his eyes, "Keeping that cold look all day long, Yamoqi still doesn't know how to restrain himself, completely I don’t know if I should be more respectful, this is not their territory, nor is it a hunting ground where they can tear flesh and blood.”

As the person with the highest status and the most active person in the expeditionary force, Jillian has always disliked these two people, even if his brother is using them.

Fortunately, this beast is quite obedient. When faced with the Lannister family, this man-eating beast will become very obedient. Although the Mountain still looks like a low-pressure person, it will eventually obey orders honestly. Yamoqi was nothing but flattery.

"No, it doesn't have to be like this, Lord Jillian, I have no problem with Sir Gregor."

Lannister's words made Hugo almost uncontrollable. You are the nobles of Lannister. Not only can those two guys be honest, but it's another matter for Hugo! Yamoqi Hugo didn't care at all, but the Magic Mountain was another matter. To be honest, Hugo didn't have absolute confidence that he could beat the big guy. If he went crazy, things could easily get into trouble.

Regarding Hu Ge's words, Jillian looked noncommittal, and then said worriedly, "With this kind of person... Alas, it will be difficult for Tywin to reach the end if he takes this path. Even if he persists to the end, he will die." It will still come back later.”

What Jillian was talking about was Tywin's way of ruling, and the core of Tywin's way of ruling was terror. Whether it was the genocide of nobles or the killings in King's Landing, they all served this goal. But the problem is that this path is indeed fast and effective, but the backlash is also terrifying - taking this path means that you cannot show weakness. Once you show weakness, other beasts will pounce on you and bite you.

Hugo felt quite embarrassed when he heard this. It was not good for him to answer whether he could answer it or not. He still wanted to let himself evaluate the affairs of the Lannister family? This is too...

Jillian often doesn't realize the dignity of his status, and regards the privileges brought by his status as everyone. Therefore, Hugo always feels tired when talking to him.

Fortunately, Jillian is very good at observing people's emotions. Although Hu Ge hid it well, he still noticed that emotion. Seeing this, Jillian closed his mouth in embarrassment, and Hu Ge also tacitly agreed not to talk about it. Just treat what happened just now as if it didn't exist and prepare for the garrison of the expeditionary force.

The camp selected by the Iron Throne for the expeditionary force is good. It is a camping area prepared for the contestants and the large number of service personnel who come with them when King's Landing holds a tournament. The foundation is very solid and can be used directly.

Thanks to the management skills developed in the past few months, the construction of the camp encountered no trouble, and it also received help from many people in King's Landing - King's Landing has just recovered from the turmoil, and job opportunities are very precious. Yes, there are still many people who are eager to save money.

There are also many people from King's Landing who provide various services to the expeditionary army, which is a good thing for the nobles and rich people in the army. They have the money and resources to enjoy these services. As for the poor, it has nothing to do with them.

After finishing the work of setting up camp, the sun had already set. Hugo returned to his tent tiredly. During the day's work, he received a lot of information from King's Landing. The information was very mixed and confusing, and it was full of falsehoods. The information is conflicting with each other, and it is difficult to sort it out, but they all convey one meaning, that is, King's Landing is very turbulent now.

Moreover, Hugo saw the noble troops stationed outside the walls of King's Landing keeping a polite and distant distance from him. In the noble camp, Hugo saw Rosby's red bar, Lake's double pickaxe, and Stokeworth. The goat and other coats of arms of the royal nobles, and then the coats of arms of some Stormland nobles - they all have one thing in common, that is, they stood on the opposite side of the current king in the Usurper War.

This made Hu Ge very uneasy. Logically speaking, these nobles should be the first to see if they can get a share of the power of the expeditionary force, but now they seem so indifferent.

What's more, there are also the two sleeping dragons and phoenixes of the Magic Mountain and Amoqi. Tywin sent his beasts to kill, and people will definitely die wherever they go. So Hugo is very, very uneasy. He is now extremely looking forward to the appearance of the old sparrow who went to King's Landing first. He wants to know the information about the city from the old monk. After the old sparrow leaves, Hugo realizes that the old sparrow obtains information and is related to How important is the ability to analyze information to him.

Perhaps the seven gods in the sky responded to his prayers. When Hugo approached his camp, he saw a figure. This made his heart tense at first. His guards would not allow people to approach his tent rashly, so either This person took care of the guards, or he was his confidant.

And when Hu Ge saw the weather-beaten face and mud-colored eyes, he immediately relaxed his nervousness, because that was the old sparrow.

"Nice to meet you, Lord Hugo."

Seeing the old sparrow bowing respectfully to him, Hu Ge felt a strong sense of relief in his heart. With him here, he would not be blinded.

So Hugo quickly pulled the old sparrow into the tent and sat down face to face at the table. He urgently needed to know what King's Landing was all about.

"So, King's Landing is like a barrel of wildfire that could explode at any time?" The favored one of the Seven Gods paced inside the tent, and the swaying shadow under the candlelight seemed to represent his agitation.

From the old sparrow's information and the information he had, he had some idea of ​​the situation: King's Landing was filled with "dragon remnants" that Robert didn't like, and these remnants were also frightened by the king's existence, so the king was always He is unwilling to stay in King's Landing for a long time and spends most of his time hunting outside the city. Now he is holding a large-scale hunt in the Kingswood. As for the Prime Minister, he temporarily returned to the valley to handle matters, and there is only his newlywed wife in the Red Keep. A Lannister lady.

Now, a city lacking a strong ruler welcomes an army thought to be here to cause massacre, and it’s easy to see what the consequences will be.

What is interesting is the slackness of the Golden Robe. From the information of the old sparrow, it can be seen that they are basically in a semi-stop state. This cannot be explained by the chaos of changing dynasties.

From Hu Ge's perspective, the appearance of the Capital Guard must have been inspired by the Iron Throne.

Not to mention, there are also a large number of nobles who were once loyal to the real dragon gathered here. The king summoned them in the name of atonement for the wrong side, but the existence of these people will undoubtedly make the situation more likely to lead to chaos. After all, they are more powerful.

He had a distinct feeling that the chaos in King's Landing was deliberate by the Iron Throne. Contacting those Tywin's beasts, those beasts that specialized in doing dirty work, Hugo had some idea of ​​what would happen here.

"Old Sparrow, I think we have to take good care of our people next." Hu Ge said quietly, telling the information he knew, "I think you have also discovered that something bad may happen next in King's Landing." Good thing, we may be used by the king as a tool to intensify conflicts."

Hu Ge is very angry now. He is now in an extremely dangerous situation. The Seven Gods are above. This is a matter of cleaning up the forces of the previous dynasty. If he gets a little involved in it or cannot control his team well, he will have to Finished.

Thinking of this, Hugo really wanted to rush to the king and yell at him, but he had to hold back his emotions.

"Is it just to take care of people? Lord Hugo, I think this is an opportunity. Since there are so many people in the king's land that the king does not like, it is logical for them to join our cause. Do you remember that Duke Jon once hinted to you? thing."

The monk's words stunned Hu Ge. As he was stunned, he also remembered that the Prime Minister once said that he needed his help. He thought about what this help meant for a long time, but could not come to any conclusion. At that time, he thought that the Prime Minister was very important. Someone was about to be sent to report the matter, but no one came.

"The Prime Minister once said that he needed me to help the Iron Throne, but he never made it clear what it was." Hu Ge thought for a while and said, his tone still resisting the matter. Clearing out the remnants of the previous dynasty was really too much. Sensitive.

"I think the Prime Minister wants us to take away the civilians of King's Landing. Whether they are the King or the Prime Minister, they have never been known for their bloodthirsty, and their actions have always been aboveboard. Moreover, doing such a thing will destroy their reputation, and it will completely outweigh the gain. "The old sparrow was conducting his own analysis. The old monk did know a lot about the political affairs of the kingdom.

"But in this case, how can we explain those two bastards Gregor and Amochi?" Hugo objected, and the old sparrow also had a confused look on his face at this moment. He didn't understand why these two guys appeared. .

However, Hugo had to admit that the old sparrow's idea was very reasonable. Anyway, it was to make the remnants of the dragon clan that the king didn't like disappear. Going to the east also meant disappearing. Neither Robert nor Jon seemed like people who would go on a killing spree.

But if that's the case, why bring Tywin's beasts? Hu Ge felt conflicted and then confused. He really couldn't understand.

Throwing away those chaotic thoughts, Hu Ge decided not to mention this matter again, "Let's put this matter aside for now. We will discuss it later. Is there anything else?"

"No more, Lord Hu Ge." The old sparrow shook his head.

"Then please take a look around the camp. Your arrival will cheer up many people."

Hu Ge just sent the old sparrow out. The old sparrow obviously thought of something, but when he saw Hu Ge's tired look, he closed his mouth and planned to talk tomorrow.

After the old sparrow left, Hugo decided to keep his distance from King's Landing and stayed outside the city before the king came back.

However, the tired Hugo forgot one thing at this time. Although the king and the prime minister were not in King's Landing, there was still an important person in King's Landing that he needed to meet, and this person was important to him to a certain extent. Still above the king.
