The Glory of the Seven Gods of Ice and Fire

Chapter 30 Chaos Revealed

On the other side, because he really couldn't find the assassin and the pain in his hands disappeared, Hugo called all the knights back. He thought this was a life-and-death assassination attempt by the rebels. The most important thing is to complete the suppression of the rebels in King's Landing.

After returning to his own camp, Hugo set up a temporary headquarters under the walls of the Red Keep, using it as a center to suppress the remnants of the rebels in various parts of King's Landing.

The following battles were just finishing touches. Hu Ge's team went to various guild and gang strongholds to annihilate the rebels who were defending them and confiscate the wealth.

There is also the need to clean up the lawless people who take advantage of the chaos to rob homes and homes. There are always a lot of such people in the city of King's Landing. The chaos in many places is actually caused by this group of people.

Hugo has always been in charge of the overall situation under the Red Fort. For a moment, he even had some illusions that this city belonged to him.

Although King's Landing is a big, rotten city that looks like a concentration camp, it is still a big city with a population of half a million. However, the subsequent summons from the Red Keep shattered his illusions.

In the hall where the Iron Throne was placed, Hugo met the current Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, Cersei Lannister. To be honest, Hugo didn’t want to see this crazy woman at all, but since the Iron Throne made the request, He must respond, even if the person giving the order is a mad woman.

Although he has a strong dislike for Cersei, Hugo still has to admit that this mad woman is indeed one of the most beautiful women in the Seven Kingdoms, especially when she is young and her beauty is at its peak. Paired with the queen's robe, she Every move he makes is full of royal nobility.

Her twin brother, Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer, stood next to her sister in white armor. His appearance was no less than that of her sister. Paired with the white clothes and white armor of the Kingsguard, he stood there like a model of knighthood. ——But everyone knows that this so-called model is a person who kills monarchs.

No matter how good-looking the skin is, it can't cover up Cersei's arrogance and indifference. Those eyes are very beautiful, but under that arrogant gaze, Hugo only feels disgusted and tired.

James, on the other hand, was more indifferent. Hu Ge also felt that there seemed to be some mockery in his eyes, but most of them didn't seem to be directed at him. This made him a little strange, but he didn't think much about it.

Cersei just asked when the rebellion in King's Landing could be suppressed, as if she was giving orders to her servants. The queen completely regarded Hugo as a servant who could come and go at a moment's notice. Her contemptuous attitude made Hugo temporarily I wanted to rush up and punch her.

However, thinking that this woman would not care if she went crazy, he chose not to get serious with the madman. It would be too pricey, and once she made her hold a grudge, there would be endless trouble.

Then, looking at Lord Tywin's golden twins, Hugo couldn't help but wonder what they would look like in bed, and whether our Lord Robert knew about his cuckoldry - but he could only think about it, this was If you don't tell anyone, you will be killed if you don't do it right.

When leaving the Red Keep, Hugo felt relieved. It was great not to have to see that crazy woman. Not long after he came out, the old sparrow and the others also sent news of victory, and the chaos in King's Landing had generally been calmed down.

The reason why it was calmed down so quickly was that the nobles gathered outside the city finally took action and joined the siege. With their troops joining, it was only a matter of time before order in King's Landing was fully restored.

However, Hu Ge felt that this group of people was more like picking peaches, but just pick them, since he had already picked the most valuable part.

Not long after the suppression was settled, King Robert also returned to King's Landing, and with him came the Prime Minister.

.

"Jon, you're playing too big this time. If Hugo hadn't reacted quickly enough, we might have faced a city that turned into a battlefield."

When entering the city, the king in hunting attire complained, with a boar spear hanging on his saddle and a bow and arrow on the other side. What happened in King's Landing was far from expected, and he had to end the hunt in a hurry and rush back to King's Landing. .

Although the rebellion in King's Landing has ended and the troops who suppressed the rebellion have left the city, it is still under high-intensity security. Soldiers from the Capital Guard and the Baratheon family, as well as a small number of expeditionary force soldiers, can be seen everywhere on the streets.

Outside the city walls of King's Landing, there were several large pits filled with corpses. Although thanks to Hugo's quick actions, King's Landing avoided further destruction, there were still a lot of dead people.

"Your Majesty, I once said that with so many requests mixed together, there will definitely be chaos. I originally planned to let Hugo take away the untrustworthy civilians in King's Landing, but you also want to test the nobles who were once loyal to Targolian. , and asked me not to tell Hugo the news to keep it secret. Duke Tywin even said that these unstable factors must be slaughtered. He released his beast before he could ventilate with us. With so many demands mixed together, it would be strange if nothing happened. .”

Compared with Robert's energetic appearance, old Arryn looked like he was several years older, his eyes were full of exhaustion, "And there are also Pentos people who are causing trouble, Your Majesty, I tell you the truth. , now is the best result.”

Facing his adoptive father's excuse, Robert didn't say anything. He knew that what his adoptive father said was right. When the situation developed like this, everyone involved was responsible, so the situation became a little embarrassing for a while.

"But Your Majesty, I am also responsible. Instead of being near King's Landing to control the situation, I chose to hide aside. I knew what the plan would lead to, but I chose to escape."

Old Aylin, as a person who has been polished in Westeros for so many years, naturally saw the embarrassment of his adopted son and took the initiative to give him a step. And his words were not clichés, and indeed represented what he was thinking in his heart. Old Arryn's original plan was just to take away the civilians, but after Robert and Tywin's new demands, he knew that things were bound to intensify.

He was unwilling to take the lead in an event that would cause a large number of deaths, but he understood that it had to be done. Therefore, after giving the order, he chose to hide aside and let things develop naturally.

Old Aylin didn't expect that other forces would be involved. If he were in King's Landing, the situation would be under control soon. But he was not in King's Landing. If it weren't for Hu Ge's efforts, there might really be chaos in King's Landing.

The clan motto of their Arryn family is "High as Glory", and Jon Arryn has been working hard to implement the family motto. However, politics cannot rely on glory alone. Old Arryn eventually learned those ghostly tricks.

Although he has learned ghost tricks, one thing remains unchanged, that is, whenever these tricks are used, Aylin will always feel tremendous pressure and intense torture in his heart.

It was also because of these tortures that the elder statesmen of the Seven Kingdoms chose to hide away.

"Oh, Jon, don't say that. Who would have thought that the cheese seller would do this? Don't blame yourself too much. The responsibility does not lie with you." Robert seemed rough, but he was also very careful at the same time. He noticed the change in his adoptive father's mood. He quickly reassured, "When I return to the Red Keep, I will hang all the instigators, deprive the cheese seller of his property and drive him out of King's Landing."

Robert was extremely angry about what the Pentos people had done. The Pentos people were almost slapping him in the face and arrogant in his face!

"Your Majesty, I still have some doubts about this matter..."

Old Aylin immediately expressed his opinion. It seemed too stupid for the Pentos people to interfere in this matter. He had come into contact with many people in the Free Trade City, and he had never seen anything like this.

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Robert.

"That's not important, Jon. You understand, what's important now is that some people must be punished." Robert's tone was cold and cruel, and he also showed the temperament of a veteran on the battlefield.

Old Arryn sighed again. How could he not understand the meaning of Robert's words? But in his opinion, this is still too cruel after all, but it must be said.

In order to avoid being too upset, Old Aylin took the initiative to change the topic, "Your Majesty, Hu Ge has made great contributions. I think we should also increase our investment in him. Moreover, supporting his expedition can disgust Pentos across the sea." , let them see that even if the Iron Throne changes its owner, the majesty cannot be violated by them."

"Support, of course, Jon, I'll leave the matter to you. Hugo is very good. I like this kind of knight very much."

When it comes to Hugo, Robert's fondness is beyond words. This boy likes him very much. Such smart knights are rare. Robert likes him very much now.

"Yes, Your Majesty the King." Old Aylin said respectfully, "After handling the matters in King's Landing, I will ask them to go to Seagull Town to cross the Narrow Sea and head to Andas. I have already sent an order to the Grafson family to let them They take care of it."

"Grafson? Gulltown? Jon, are you sure they are willing?"

"It's good if they don't want to, right?" A dangerous color flashed in Old Aylin's eyes.

"Then what to do."

Hearing Robert's agreement, old Arryn nodded secretly. He was now eager to send the expeditionary force away.

The chaos in King's Landing made him realize one thing. The chaos that civilians can cause is also huge. Old Aylin must admit that the expeditionary force that was originally intended to be used has become a hot potato in the hands of the Iron Throne. It is better to fight as soon as possible. Let them leave King's Landing.

"Andas, speaking of which, I really want to go to this place where the Seven Gods walk. For no other reason than to see if the women here are as beautiful as the fat archbishop said, and are the incarnation of girls. Alas, it's a pity. I still have to sit on that damn iron chair.”

On the other side, Robert expressed his yearning for the east, but the direction of his yearning was still the same woman as before. This made old Aylin hold his forehead involuntarily. This habit of raising a son... Damn it, he must persuade Robert well in the future. This doesn't look like a king.
