No way, anyone who has brothers in the family knows that if you happen to have a brother who is about the same age as you, then the two of you will basically not get along very well.

But Renly is different. He is nearly 20 years younger than Robert. It can be said that Robert has always regarded this little brother as half a son, so the relationship between the two of them is like a real brother and friend. Christine!

This is also the main reason why Stannis directly dropped his position as Sea Lord and ran back to his fief!

Because Stannis has discovered that the three children born to his eldest brother Robert and Queen Cersei are not of his eldest brother's species at all.

Chapter 37: Martial Arts Tournament

According to the kingdom succession law, if the three children born to the queen were all born by her having an affair with other people, then it is obvious that Stannis, as the younger brother of the emperor, will immediately become the first heir!

Although Robert has dozens of illegitimate children in the city, those illegitimate children are not protected by law, unless the entire Baratheon family dies without an heir, otherwise the illegitimate children are absolutely ineligible to inherit the throne .

After Stannis discovered this, he didn't rush to tell Robert, because he knew that based on the relationship between himself and his eldest brother, Robert would definitely think that he was trying to sow discord and kill someone with a knife.

So he told the news to the former prime minister, Jon Arryn, and was going to let the other party tell the news to his idiot brother.

You must know that besides being the Prime Minister, Jon Arryn is also Robert's adoptive father. Robert has always respected his adoptive father and teacher as he did his father, so if Jon Arryn told Robert about this , then Robert would believe it.

It's just a pity that Jon Arryn was too responsible. He didn't fully believe what Stannis told him. Ern Arryn was going to investigate and tell Robert.

The result!

Jon Arryn's investigation was discovered by Queen Cersei, her lover, and her own brother Jaime Lannister, and the two immediately tried to kill the former prime minister.

You must know that the Queen had incest with her own brother, and by the way, she gave birth to three heirs to the throne. If it is exposed, no matter which country it is in, it will be regarded as a shocking case.

When Stannis saw that the Prime Minister was actually poisoned, he was so frightened that he fled back to his fief overnight. Anyway, his relationship with his elder brother was not good, and few people would care if he ran back to his fief.

"Today is the last day of the audition. Who do you think will win this martial arts competition?"

Renly Baratheon saw that his elder brother Robert was about to start cursing his second brother again, so he quickly brought the subject back.

Although it is true that Renly likes the eldest brother more than the second brother, but after all, we are all brothers, so don't make it so stiff!

Of course, the main reason is because Renly knows that he has no chance to be on the throne no matter what. Without the core conflict of interests, no matter who it is, it will not make things difficult for the prince, right?

"The third son of the Duke of Highgarden, I think he is very likely to win this competition!"

Seeing that the topic changed from serious to casual, everyone started to joke.

After all, regardless of whether Viserys has become a dragon or a dragonman, it will take at least a few years before he leads the army across the sea, so everyone's attention will soon change from worrying about the other side of the sea to It has become the most popular event at the moment, which is the tourney organized by Robert.

"The Tyrell boy? I remember he has a good relationship with you, Renly, doesn't he?" Robert asked his brother after thinking about it.

"Yes, Loras is a very powerful knight!"

Renly hastily smiled shyly, the relationship between him and the other party is more than good, it is simply that you have me in you and you in me, okay!

"Since everyone is here, let's go watch the game together! I want to see if there are any powerful knights!"

Now that the king has spoken, other than the chief intelligence officer, everyone else can only accompany him.

Just as the strongest political group in King's Landing was rushing towards the competition venue, someone finally came to the registration office.

"Master, do you really want to participate in this kind of competition in person?" Thrawn asked with some surprise.

He really couldn't figure out why a god would want to participate in a boring human contest.

Li Qingyuan gave a look of dissatisfaction, do you still need to teach him how to do things?

Suolong suddenly felt the hairs all over his body stand on end, stopped talking nonsense immediately, and then walked towards the registration office with great strides.

In a few minutes, he turned back from the registration desk, holding a number plate representing the order in his hand.

"Master, this is the number plate for the first competition. If you want to participate, you must go to the venue of the first competition before noon!"

Thrawn handed the wooden sign in his hand to someone, and said humbly.

"Is this still an elimination system?"

Li Qingyuan picked up the wooden number plate with some surprise, and saw the two numbers 88 outlined with charcoal on it.

"Yes, the entire martial arts competition is divided into two types: team competition and individual competition. The villain helped you sign up for the individual competition. You need to go to the first competition now!"

Thrawn introduced while leading the way.

The first part of the martial arts competition can be said to be a knockout match. The registered knights need to fight against ten soldiers by themselves. Only the winner will be eligible to enter the next match.

When Thrawn brought him to the venue for the first match, there was a commotion in the venue.

King Robert brought all his ministers to the competition venue, which made everyone in the venue excited.

Regardless of whether Robert is incompetent as a king, he is also a king in name after all, and his appearance in this kind of place will naturally arouse people's cheers and excitement.

"This wild boar king seems quite popular, doesn't he?"

Li Qingyuan frowned strangely. In his impression, Robert was a typical representative of a foolish king. He had nothing to do every day, either hunting or sleeping with prostitutes. There were illegitimate children everywhere, but none of the three in the palace belonged to him. Kind of, it can be said to be fatuous and confused.

Originally, he thought that with Robert's character, not many people should believe him.

But now, looking at the attitudes of these people, it seems that they are welcoming some kind of wise emperor, which makes someone start to have doubts about his own judgment.

No way, what is the mission this time in the name of the people, if he stands up now and crushes the wild boar king to death, he might be judged as a mission failure.

"This... this..."

Suolong hesitated for a long time and didn't know what to say. He was just an old mercenary who traveled all over the world. It was okay if you asked him to run errands. You asked him to analyze these important national affairs. It was really hard for him.

The world of Game of Thrones in the Middle Ages is not like the era of information explosion in the later generations, where any taxi driver can chat with you about the latest international news, current affairs and politics.

'It seems that we still need to find a master strategist to analyze and analyze for ourselves! '

Li Qingyuan kicked the mount with his foot, and started to walk towards his playing field.

Chapter 38 Peerless Master

"Who is this guy, have you never seen it before?"

Sitting on the high viewing platform, Robert asked in surprise as he watched the strange man slowly walking into the arena on a tall white horse.

To say that the opponent is a weirdo, apart from the fact that the opponent's mount is one-third higher than a normal war horse, there is another very important reason is that the opponent is not wearing armor at all, not even a helmet, and the weapon in his hand Still a ridiculously weird spear.

"That is Li Qingyuan, a knight from the far eastern continent. He just came to King's Landing. He heard that there is a competition here, so he came to participate!"

As a king, someone would immediately ask him the answer to any question he wanted, so when someone walked to the center of the competition field, Robert also got the information he wanted.

"A knight from the east?"

Hearing this answer, everyone immediately became a little interested. Because of the barrier of the narrow sea, the connection between Westeros and the Eastern Continent is not close. Although news can be obtained from the trading fleet, the relationship between the two sides The understanding between them is even simpler than that of the Eurasian continent in the Middle Ages.

"Is he a Dothraki?"

Prime Minister Ed Stark thought for a while and asked.

"Probably not. The Dothraki will only cut off his whip when he fails. He doesn't even have a whip on his head. If he is a Dothraki, he can't be a knight at all!"

Grand Maester Pycelle immediately retorted, convincingly.

"Golden robe guard?"

Ten soldiers in armor walked into the arena in neat square steps. Prime Minister Ed looked at the soldiers, turned his head to King Robert and asked in amazement.

The first round of the individual competition requires the knights to single out ten soldiers, but these soldiers are basically ordinary soldiers guarding the city gates. It is not difficult for knights to fight ten pairs of well-equipped knights!

But if the ten soldiers changed from guarding the city gates to gold-cloaked guards guarding the palace, the difficulty would be completely different!

The dungeon monsters suddenly changed from ten ordinary monsters to ten elite monsters, which would definitely make players fall head over heels.

"The knight of the Eastern Continent, I think we should take a good look at what he is capable of!"

Robert smiled indifferently. Just now he got the news that Viserys would summon mercenaries in the Eastern Continent to return across the sea. Immediately afterwards, he met an Eastern Knight at the tournament venue. He naturally wanted to see if the other party had any what ability.

Hearing what Robert said, Ed couldn't say much, after all, the other party was the king, and he had to save some face for the other party in public.

Besides, the rule of the conference is that the contestants must defeat ten soldiers, but there is no regulation on what kind of soldiers they are!

From the perspective of literal logic, gold-cloaked guards are also a type of soldier!

"Bet fifty gold coins, I don't think he can last this game!"

Prince Renly immediately said to the Chancellor with a smile.

"I don't accept this kind of bet!"

Petyr Baelish quickly refused with a smile.

Ten gold-cloaked guards, and the opponent is not wearing armor, this is basically a one-sided battle, okay?

"Then let's bet how long he can last. I think he should last less than twenty breaths!"

Renly looked at the guy who was standing still on the horse in the middle of the field, and said with a smile.Those who watched the excitement thought that the other party had been frightened into a fool. After all, it is reasonable to ride the horse and run under such circumstances. If it is surrounded by ten gold-cloaked guards armed to the teeth, then no matter how good the knight is, he will immediately hate the horse. down.

"Then I'll follow!"

Petyr Baelish immediately said, it's only fifty gold coins. For him as the Minister of Finance, using only fifty gold coins to win the favor of the prince is definitely a very good deal.

"Then I'll wait to collect—how is that possible?"

Renly was glad that he had received another fifty gold coins without any effort, but before he could finish his sentence, he saw the gold-cloaked guards fell like straw in the field.

Li Qingyuan waved the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand and knocked the soldiers to the ground one by one like knocking gophers. The only difficulty was to keep control of his strength so as not to beat these soldiers into meat paste.

It took him about ten seconds from beginning to end, nine of which were posing!

No way, he really couldn't put too much water in dealing with these soldiers who were not even considered special forces.

"plum!"

"plum!"

"plum!"

All the people watching the battle reveled. When ten gold-cloaked guards walked into the arena with square steps, everyone thought that the knight from the east would definitely lose. After all, no one could defeat the woven gold-robed guards. guard.

As a result, the opponent relied on that miraculous move to beat all the soldiers to the ground. The strongest guards of the palace didn't even touch the opponent's mount.

People in this continent believe in gods and worship heroes at the same time, and someone's performance clearly belongs to the ranks of heroes.

"Did any of you see what that guy was doing?" Robert asked with a cheerful smile to the people around him.

"I could still see clearly when he knocked down the sixth man, but I can't see clearly how the seventh man was knocked down!" Barristan Selmy said, shaking his head.

Hearing what he said, everyone was suddenly surprised.
