The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

Golden tooth city.

Kaivon Lannister sat in the shadow of the candle light, looking at his brother Tywin Lannister.

Tywin Lannister stood in front of the window, tall and stalwart.

His elder brother Tywin is Kaifeng's idol. When Kaifeng was very young, he realized the charm and talent of Tywin. At that time, both he and his brother were still young, but the Lannister family's glory was no longer there.

His father, Taitos Lannister, is known as the Laughing Lion. He treats others with a smile and welcomes others. What rewards him is the arrogance and defiance of the lords under him. Among them, Castmay’s Red Lion Reyes family was the most prominent, followed closely by the Tabek family. Later, the rule of the Lannister family in the west had to be maintained by the royal army of the king, but the royal army As soon as he left the West, chaos broke out again in the West.

It was in such a situation that his elder brother Tywin Lannister stepped forward. The nineteen-year-old Tywin killed the Reyes family of Casteme and slaughtered the Tabek family clean. At the age of 18, my brother became famous for the Battle of the Nine Copper Plate Kings. At the age of 19, the Lannister family regained their glory. At the age of 20, he became the prime minister of King Iris Targaryen. ten years.

Lannister was such a heroic figure, but he was killed by the magic of a red-robed wizard Melisandre from the other side of the narrow sea. The fifteen thousand elite soldiers from the Western Realm he led were also killed by Melisandre. Burn the fire clean.

Kevon’s eye sockets were moist, he sat in the shadow that the torch and candle could not reach, and looked at Tywin Lannister at the window, his heart was uncomfortable.

The Tywin of the window is not the real Tywin, but James Lannister.

Kevon was in the dark shadow, and James, who showed his face as Tywin, was under the bright torch.

As time passed bit by bit, there was an extremely strong atmosphere of estrangement between the two people, as if an invisible thick wall blocked them.

Finally, Tai Wen at the window turned his head and looked at Kevon in the dark.

"Uncle!" he said, his voice heavy.

Kaifeng didn't answer, he didn't want to talk to this Tai Wen who was not Tai Wen. He originally hoped James, hoping that he could regain the glory of the West like his father, but James did not. He gave up a chance to kill Ed Stark, just for the honor of the knight in his heart. .

If it were Tai Wen, he would never make such a mistake.

"You don't need to be bound by honors, emotions, or oaths. Whatever is most beneficial, do it. As for the words of others, the giant elephant never stops to understand the ants or insects, nor does the Targaryen dragon Will understand the wailing of the prey in the flames. The strong crushes everything, and only the weak will obey the old-fashioned dogma and expect others to follow him, so as to get a pitiful sense of security in this fragile rule." Kaifeng kept his brother Tywin's words in mind, and he told them to James too, but James just listened to them and didn't follow them.

Seeing that his uncle was still silent, James took off a torch on the wall, held it, and slowly walked towards Kaivon in the dark.

Sir Kevon was originally a blessed man, his head was basically bald like his brother Tywin, his square chin was all fleshy, his beard had not been shaved for a long time, and he looked messy.

Even when Kaifeng was sitting, his shoulders were round and his waist was thick, wrinkles and black spots appeared on his exquisite skin, and his golden beard and hair turned off-white.

Since Leihen Lake's defeat, Kaifeng has been a dozen years old.

Uncle's feelings are restrained, simple, and reliable, and he admires and loves his father Tai Wen. He is his father's most trusted deputy, and his loyalty and reliability are widely known.

"Uncle!" James walked to Kaifeng, stopped, and said in a deep voice.

Kevon was still stubbornly immersed in his own darkness, and the torch in James's hand failed to bring light to his heart.

James said: "Tomorrow I will fight Ed Stark, I will not let him go."

Kevon closed his eyes, so that the huge torch in James and James' hands remained dark.

"Master Kaifeng, how can you speak to me?" James' tone became impatient.

Without answering, Kevon's silence suffocated James.

"Well, my future actions are up to you." James finally said.

Kaifeng's eyes opened, looking at James, the blue pupils were full of light.

"I swear, I listen to you, except Cersei." James said frankly.

"You said it yourself!"

"Yes, Lord Kaifeng." James said.

Seven days ago, James and Ed Stark duel. When Ed came out with a bandage on his right hand, Kayvon repeatedly signaled through the sound of drums that James should take the opportunity to kill Ed, but James did not; During the scheduled duel a week later, every day, Kavon would repeatedly say in front of James that he should attack the Allied forces at night, but James ignored it; until the raven brought news of the fall of Oxford and Kaiyan. .

After receiving the news, Kevon never said anything to James, did not eat, and did not participate in any military meetings. At night, lights were never allowed in his room. He was alone in the dark. Staying, no one knew what he was doing or thinking.

"Jaime, are you willing to listen to me for everything?"

"Yes, uncle."

"Well, I want you to cancel the duel with Ed and exchange hostages with Ed tomorrow."

"How to exchange?"

"We have Edmund, the heir of Rushing City in Riverland, Edmund's uncle Blackfish Blinden, and the knights and warriors of Jiuxing City in the valley. There are three hundred people in total. We use these three hundred people in exchange for Kai The western nobles of Yancheng."

"There are nearly a thousand nobles in the West, and Ed will exchange nearly one thousand for three hundred?"

"He can!"

"why?"

"Because he is Ed Stark."

"What if he doesn't want to return the hostage?"

"Then we will start killing hostages."

James was taken aback: "Kill the hostage?"

"Yes, as long as we kill the hostages, Ed will agree to our terms."

"Is he so sure Ed will do that?"

"Because he is Ed Stark, he will do that."|

"I don't think."

"Jaime, if it were your father Tywin, what would he do with this incident?"

James was startled, then knocked his head and said, "I think my father will surrender."

"You are right. We exchange hostages first, and then surrender. After maintaining the dominance of the West, we will slowly counterattack Ed Stark. As the enemy, we will oppose the enemy instead of the enemy. To oppose is more concealed and more successful."

"First surrender, and wait for the three-place coalition to withdraw. We will pack up the remnants and defeated generals in the west, repair the city, vigorously train recruits, accumulate strength, and then look for opportunities to defeat Ed Stark?"

"James, your father said that there are two kinds of victory in war, one depends on victory on the battlefield, and the other depends on paper and pen and raven. If Ed wants us to surrender, then we surrender. Ed · Stark is a man of honor, and he will certainly agree to our additional conditions."

"What additional conditions?"

"The West still belongs to Lannister."

"Don't mention this condition, he will agree to it."

"But we just want to mention a condition that he would have promised."

"I do not understand!"

"You just cooperate with me, you swore it."

"Well, uncle, I will cooperate with you."

"I will let a knight kill you, and then dedicate your head to Ed Stark. This knight will be rewarded by Ed Stark, and he will take the opportunity to make demands and become Ed Shit Followers around Tucker."

James: "..."

"After you die, live back to your Dick Weishui. I will give you a list. I want you to follow the list slowly, silently, and kill one by one."

"So what about Cersei? Ed Stark said that she killed Robert Baratheon and he wanted to judge her and then behead her."

"Ed will judge Cersei, but it will not be in the river, nor in the valley or in the north. He will only be in King's Landing. He is the hand of a king who pays attention to law and honor. After he calms the West, , Where will he go? Of course he will return to the Red Fort to be his prime minister."

"Why can't we exchange the surrender and hostage of the West for Cersei and our hostage?"

"Cersei cannot be exchanged, she can only be pardoned by Stannis I. After we surrender, we cannot request Ed Stark, but we can request an amnesty from Stannis I. The Red Fort Iron Throne still owes it. With a few million dragon coins in the West, enough to exchange for several Cersei."

James was persuaded by Kavon!

However, the real purpose of Kaifeng is to be unwilling to save Cersei. Cersei and James’ incest. The Seven Kingdoms knows that Cersei who lost the power of the Red Fort is not known, but James, who has learned the transformation technique, has a big name. use.

Kaifeng believes that if Cersei returns, the West will lose James.

The re-emergence of the West requires talents, and James's talent is exactly what Kaifeng needs.

The two uncles and nephews discussed carefully, this plan was not finished until dawn.

*

James and Kaifeng had breakfast and led the army out of the city. The heavy cavalry opened the way, followed by the spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, light cavalry, and archers standing densely over the city walls.

On the opposite side, the three-place coalition forces lined up in black, with flags fluttering, without seeing the side at a glance.

The king flag in the center is the flag of the three lords: the ice wolf flag in the north, the silver trout flag in the river, and the crescent falcon flag in the valley.

Ed Stark led his empty lady forward alone.

Tywin Lannister also patted his horse forward alone.

"Master Ed, you are not my opponent, I have made a decision, I will not fight you again." Tai Wen saw Ed Stark and carried a half round shield. The semicircular shield is larger than the general shield. It is carried on the back and the semicircle is upward. The straight edge of the shield will not be scratched on the horseback, so it takes the form of a semicircle. The round shield is wider than the round shield.

In a duel, the most difficult to distinguish between superiors, and the longest duels are often sword and shield battles.

It seems that Ed Stark is fully prepared for battle.

James really wanted to kill Ed in a duel to win his father's reputation, but he accepted Kevon's plan. For a person like Ed, who pays attention to honor, his weakness is his honor, which is easy to use.

"Cancel the duel?" Ed was expressionless.

"Yes, the people you sent attacked Oxford Town, and captured Kaiyan City overnight, and captured the offspring of almost all the nobles in the West. I am here today to talk to you about the exchange of hostages." Tai Wen said.

"Swap hostages? I have more people than you."

"I also have your three hundred people in my hands."

"We have thousands of your captives, and your Kaiyan City, you have too few chips." Ed Stark said lightly.

Tai Wen sneered: "Master Ed, you have only a few hundred noble descendants in Kaiyan City, and the rest are insignificant, but I have Edmund and Blackfish Blinden in my hand."

Eddy smiled slightly: "Master Taiwen, the five thousand elite soldiers of our three-place coalition forces have all entered the Western Territory two days ago. Maybe at this time we are talking, the cliffs of the Western Territory, Yanhuo City, and the city Has fallen. Master Tai Wen, surrender."

Tai Wen's face was indifferent, but his heart was violently shocked. He sent a scout to watch the mountain road in the western region, but he didn't get any return from the scout. Suddenly he felt cold. Those scouts didn't see any news in return, so what happened to those scouts?

Was killed?

Without the command of Adam Malbran, the scout has become so vulnerable?

Tai Wen was shocked. He was originally James Deformed, and quick wit has never been James's talent. His talent is fighting. If it weren't for the training and suffering of the Black and White House, he had already swung his sword at Ed Stark.

"Master Taiwen, haven't you received any news from your scout these days? Hey, you shouldn't be such a dull person, is it because the descendants of Kaiyan City have become dull too?"

There is something in Ed Stark's words, denying that this Tai Wen is the tough, ruthless but talented Tai Wen in everyone's impression.

But Tywin, who changed James' shape, did not hear Ed's overtones.

How could the teams of scouts sent by James be the rivals of Robb and Arya’s Ice Wolves, by Robb’s side, thirty followers of noble children, and fifty of them led by Harris, the number one lancer in the North. The elite cavalry in the north were lying in ambush on the path of the western mountains, killing a few teams of scouts was just a small matter.

The alertness and ability of these teams of scouts are far inferior to that of Adam Malbran's.

"Master Taiwen, you must either surrender or our three-place coalition forces will attack Golden Tooth City." Ed pulled out Ms. Silent, took off the round shield on her back, Ms. Silent knocked on the buckler, banging, banging, I heard the heavy armored cavalry of the Chinese army shout loudly, and the team separated like a wave. The phalanxes of spearmen and sword and shield soldiers in front of the heavy armored cavalry retreated to both sides in a tidy pace. Another siege tank, rammer, trebuchet, Titicaca came out, one after another, one after another.

"Master Taiwen, seven days ago, you openly and openly talked to me about a week before you fight again. I accept your love. Today, I will give you an hour to go back and convene a meeting with your vassals. Whether the fight or the surrender, I will wait here! "
