"How dare you cry!" Cersei snarled.

Cersei hated the woman in front of her for being Joffrey's stepmother!Hate her for marrying James!Hate that she sat with the Lannisters at feasts!And she went from a glorious queen to a downcast to only be able to act in the name of a down and out knight family.

Sierra wiped her tears away with her sleeve, then lowered her head and continued to massage Cersei.

She is two years older than Cersei and James. Her sister Donna married Tywin's younger brother Kefeng and gave birth to four children for Kefeng.Xierle looks mediocre but has blond hair. After marrying her husband, the Earl of Sarsfield, she has no children but lives happily until the arrival of her father Harris Swyfer many years ago.

Since that day, an eight-year-old blond son suddenly appeared in the family!

A few years ago, there were thieves all over the western region. Many nobles found that their studies were burned down after their homes were stolen. Some found that books were stolen, and the genealogy of the Sarsfield family seemed to have been modified.

This eight-year-old son has a complete and corresponding birth and life record!She thought that since she did not give birth to an heir, she acquiesced to the existence of this son.

The experience of the blond son was born to the two of them. He had been serving as a servant to the Farman family on Fairy Island, and was not sent back from the island until the victory of the Greyjoy rebellion war.

When the blond son first arrived, she was still polite to Earl Sarsfield, but she often played tricks on herself until James took her away to serve as a knight squire.

Then rumors began to spread in the west, saying that her son was the illegitimate child born to her and James, and her husband didn't dare to say more, which made her very painful during that time.

Her husband, Earl Sarsfield, died of illness not long ago, and Duke Tywin quickly remarried her to James. At this moment, she understood that all of this was a conspiracy by the Lannister family to seize their property!

But what can I do?The Duke of Tywin is so powerful that he can kill everyone in the Swyfer family at any time. With the persuasion of his old father Harris Swyfer, he can only endure these humiliations silently, tears falling down his stomach.

Behind the carriage is a group of older nobles. They don't like to walk in the front of the team like young people. Their favorite place is the middle position in the team where they can control the whole situation.

Tywin was riding a tall white horse, accompanied by his younger brother Kevan, the father-in-law of Kaifeng and James, Earl Harris Swyfer, and Earl Sebaston Farman of Fairy Island.The four are about the same age, and they almost fought a war when they were young.

In the early years, Earl Sebaston Farman of Fairy Island refused to accept Tywin, so Tywin sent a harpist to play a song called Castamere's Rainy Season in the hall of Fairy City, scaring Earl Farman enough , Immediately bowed his head obediently.Now the elderly people got together and chatted happily all the way, and joked and joked with each other about this incident.

Behind them were the carriages of Lord Sebaston Farman's sons and daughters, whom Lord Sebaston Farman had brought back after his victory at Greyjoy's Rebellion.

Earl Farman himself had no heirs. He said that these two children were the children of his brother who died in Casterly Rock City, and they were brought back to Fairy Island as nieces and nephews to be raised.

It was the first time for the two children to come to the riverland. They stuck their heads out of the carriage window, and their blond hair like Earl Farman's was blowing in the wind.With smiles on their faces, the two of them leaned on the car window to enjoy the plain scenery that was completely different from the densely covered mountains along the way.

The niece Saran Farman is only nine years old this year, and she is already very beautiful, with a pair of green eyes, milk-like fair skin, and golden curly hair. She likes to wear pink gauze and is very polite to others.She lives in Fairy City on Fairy Island, so anyone who has seen her praises her as the "Fairy of the West".

Eight-year-old nephew Eugene Farman is now the legal heir to Fairy Isle.He looks very similar to his sister, with green eyes, but he is a bit fat. People say that he is in good health. He also likes to read, but he is too shy.Earl Farman planned to teach him martial arts when he was ten years old.

Tywin's arrangement was painstaking, granddaughter Myrcella and grandson Tommen were easier to deal with. They were only three or four years old when they left Robert, and their appearance hadn't matured yet. Most people in the Westland were blond and blue-eyed. He couldn't even recognize Robert in front of him.

Then he found a reason to adopt him to Earl Farman. The child can be brought up from a young age. By the way, he also solved the problem of his childlessness. He also likes the two children very much.

Joffrey, who is now Doni, because of the ulterior motives of James and Cersei, Tywin himself is too old to have another one, so he can only arrange the inheritance rights to Joffrey in this way.

Threats and lures first, arranged to become the son of the childless Ser Maven, and after a few years, someone poisoned Sir Maven, let Jaime marry a widow, and gave Joffrey the status of Jaime's stepson.But as long as James has a normal direct child after marriage, Tywin will immediately exile Joffrey to the Eastern Continent.

Littlefinger Baelish's life became more and more difficult. He was very sad about his son's death. He was not sad because of family affection, but because he lost two most important chess pieces, two chess pieces that could aspire to be the Duke of the Vale.

When he left King's Landing, he sold all his family property and exchanged it for a golden dragon. When he found something was wrong on the way, he buried the box containing the golden dragon in a certain wilderness, and then hid it under a woman's skirt and escaped from Riverrun City. .

For the next few days, he hid in the inn in the town of Earl Harroway.Most of the women engaged in the customs industry here were brought by him before. Originally, the women would hand over half of their income to him every day. Apart from hiding in the house and not seeing the light, Littlefinger lived a decent life without worrying about eating and drinking.

But after a long time, the women learned from the guests that Littlefinger is no longer a dignitary, but a wanted criminal of the Seven Kingdoms!A group of women rushed into the room and beat and kicked him. Littlefinger had no strength to beat a group of people, and it didn't take long before he was beaten black and blue.The women also rummaged through boxes and chests and robbed all his property, and then left the inn by themselves to make a living.

The thing he was thankful for was that Littlefinger never beat or scolded these women. This was the only thing he did right. The women didn't report him immediately after they left.

In the days that followed, Littlefinger fled westward to the Inn of the Kneeling, where he smeared black mud on his face and worked as a handyman.But no matter how he is, he is still a little nobleman. He has never done these things since he was a child, and he is scolded by customers every day. Apart from eating, he saves enough money for a week to go to the bathhouse to take a bath!How could he have suffered this kind of crime, and there was nowhere to vent his anger.

Now that the rumors are tight, he dare not dig out the secretly buried golden dragon, but it can be used as a trump card to save his life in the future. He draws the burial location on a piece of sheepskin and puts it next to his body as a treasure map.

My bounty is very high, and those women who have left are still nostalgic, and they will definitely sell their information if they cannot withstand the temptation for a long time.

Littlefinger finally made up his mind:

"Go to Riverrun! Steal Lysa Tully from the cathedral in Riverrun and take her to the valley. There are many nobles in the valley who have different hearts. As long as Lysa Tully is fertile, she is still valuable. "

Early the next morning, Littlefinger stole some overnight black bread from the kitchen of the inn, and took all his current possessions, fifteen copper stars, with the passing caravan, biting the dry and hard bread and walking to Riverrun.

Littlefinger Baelish had a hole in the front of his cloth shoe, which exposed his big toe. He walked to Riverrun hungry on an empty stomach. On this day, Ramsay Snow from the north had already set up a pigsty, and he was talking to the pork seller. He spoke nice words, and with a shovel in his hand, he shoveled pig feces hard.Donnie Sarsfield of the Westlands was in the castle, having a sumptuous lunch served by the Tully family.

Chapter 190

In the great riverland plain with rich water and soil, there is not a single decent town!This is the saddest place in the center of the mainland. As long as there is a war, no matter which side of the army will pass through the riverland, this place is suffering from wars.

Riverrun City is located at the confluence of two rivers. It is a military castle surrounded by water on three sides. The venue for the tournament can only be temporarily built out of wood on the west plain outside the city.Thousands of tents of various colors and sizes were crowded around the site, forming a temporary town.Soldiers, attendants, and various merchants who came with the nobles lived in tents.

The nobles were all invited to live in Riverrun by Edmure Tully. At the noon banquet, Tywin introduced a young girl named Jenny Westerling to Robb. Robb thought of the missing Alayne En Martell, just chatted with her politely and ignored her.

After the banquet, Robb and Meera Reed had time to wander the makeshift town.

Robb wants some grease and flowers.Grease is used to maintain armor and long swords. The reason for buying flowers is that he is learning the alchemy technique left to him by Werther recently. He wants to see if he can find several alchemical plants in the market. The essence of plants is generally found in flowers and in the fruit.Meera Reed wants some arrows too.

The two walked on the road between the tents. Robb was wearing a black mail armor from the north, two long swords juxtaposed on his back, a black wolf head necklace on his chest, long hair and shawl, tall and dignified.

Meera Reed was wearing a leather armor with a bow and arrow on her back, and a red dragonfly was standing on her shoulder. She recently found that as long as she had good intentions, she could get bugs to crawl on her hands every time. Robb explained to her It's the skinchanger talent awakening, but her talent is lower.

The little girl Arya Stark walked last, and the little wolf cubs grew very fast in their infancy, and the five were put together. Now Arya is very difficult to carry, and only Robb's Gray Wind and her Namei Leah held her in her arms, and the other three wolf cubs were taken care of by my uncle.

When Werther went to the north, his wife Nymeria was sick and stayed in Winterfell, telling stories to Arya every day. Her favorite thing to listen to was the story of the Dornish Warrior Queen.After Werther and others left, she poked around with a wooden stick every day, and her father, Ed, said that she was fascinated.

Meera turned to her side and asked, "Robb, is alchemy really so magical? The potion you make can cure diseases and increase physical strength?"

Meera Reed was a few years older than Robb, and she was moved when she saw him in Greywater, but she knew that she was not good-looking and her body was not as attractive as other women, and the relationship between the two was just Getting along as a comrade-in-arms, Robb is destined to be someone she can't get.

"Your brother is also a magician. He entered the magic school at the same time as me. You still don't believe in magic?"

Meera Reed: "No way, I've seen magic before! It's just that alchemy is so amazing, a few kinds of grass mixed together can produce magical effects."

"It's not that the flowers and plants are magical, it's magic. Without magic, these flowers and plants can only be fed to the sheep." Robb stopped by a farm girl's stall selling wild flowers, squatted down and picked a petal from a flower and put it in his mouth. Gather the magic in your mouth and chew carefully.

Every martial arts tournament is a social event for nobles, as long as there are enough young female nobles, the more flowers will be consumed.The champion can present a wreath to the lady he loves, but only a few get the chance.

The other knights figured out a way. Since the wreath belongs to the champion, it is no problem to present the bouquet by themselves. Who knows if they will lose the game in the next round. If they don’t present flowers, they will have no chance.So every time after a small victory, the impatient knights would present bouquets to the girls they admired. Over the past ten years or so, a tradition has gradually formed. Before each game, a large number of peasant girls collect flowers to subsidize their families.

"How?" Meera Reed didn't understand these things, and felt very novel.

Robb: "How much are these?"

"A Bronze Star and a bouquet of flowers." After the peasant girl answered, she looked at the handsome Robb, lowered her head involuntarily, and retracted her muddy shoes under her long skirt.

Robb saw her little action and threw a silver deer to the girl, then took a large bouquet of flowers and left with Meera.Robb himself felt that this was not a charity. Plants with alchemy effects were hard to find. If he could find one today, it would be worth paying a silver stag for this luck.

Robb picked the flowers carefully as he walked. The petals were stuffed into a small cloth bag, and the stems were thrown away.The three of them came to a small square and found a smithy tent.While Meera was picking arrows, Arya put the two pups on the ground and teased them with jerky from her pocket.

Robb untied two long swords for the blacksmith to grind and maintain. He stood alone in front of the blacksmith shop and watched the noisy crowd.

The petals needed for alchemy were enough, and he played with the remaining bouquet in his hand, silently starting the tracking magic.The crowds and things in Robb's eyes were grayish-yellow. Looking around, there was no red shadow in his sight: "It seems that the clothes left by Ramsay have deteriorated for too long and cannot be traced."

Stopping the tracking magic, Robb touched the wolf head necklace on his chest with one hand, and sent the bouquet to his mouth with the other hand, biting off a flower and chewing slowly every time he sent it.

He began to observe the knights walking around, assessing in his mind how many of them he could fight together, he opened his mouth to chuckle and then frowned.When Robb turned his head again with a flower in his mouth, a few noble girls looked at him with pity in front of the woodcarving booth next to him, as if they saw a wounded kitten.

Littlefinger Baelish was adopted by the old Duke of Arryn when he was a child. He grew up in Riverrun and was very familiar with it. He went to the cathedral of Riverrun alone to look for Lysa.

The sanctuary of Riverrun City was built in the garden of the castle. It was a heptagonal sandstone building built by the late old Duke of Horst. Inside, there were images of the seven gods painted on marble. In addition to weddings and funerals, the sanctuary held It is usually open to anyone, whether you are noble or poor, you can come in and pray to the images of the Seven Gods.

There are priests and nuns living in the church, and the silent sisters who deal with death on behalf of the "Stranger" live in the deepest room of the church, and they usually don't come out unless someone dies and needs to be dealt with.

The dirty little finger followed the flow of people into the hall of the church, stuck to the corner of the wall when people were not paying attention, crawled along the wall and slipped into the back room.There were seven or eight women with their faces covered in the room. Littlefinger hid in a corner without making a sound. After seeing a woman with red hair, she quietly slipped out of the church again.

There were too many people during the day, and he had to get up at night to take them away. Littlefinger rubbed his shriveled stomach, and felt that he had to find something to eat first.

Passing by the main building of the castle, several maids with wooden basins were pouring out the leftover food left by the nobles at noon, and a large group of poor children gathered in front of the maids to loot.Littlefinger licked his lips, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, stood there for a long time, and finally turned around and walked towards the tent area outside the city.

The tent area was crowded with people. Looking at the small nobles in groups of three or four chatting happily on the street, Littlefinger discovered for the first time that the purses hanging on their belts were so beautiful, but he didn’t have that skill, so he had to find another one. Find a way.

Finally, they came to a small square, and there were several stalls set up by the city's bachelors, and a large number of poor people gathered here and lined up.

People can ask them to write letters here.This kind of stall for writing letters to the poor is very time-sensitive. It is usually set up by assistant bachelors who are still studying letter crow science. They collect letters and send letter crows every three days, or once a week when the weather is bad. letter.

"Hello, bachelor, I can write. If you are too busy, I can write letters for you. The price of hiring me is very low."

An assistant bachelor looked up at Littlefinger who was speaking, looked him up and down and said:

"You write the next letter. I will hire you after I think you are qualified, but there is no pay, and you can only have two full meals."

Littlefinger hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.The assistant maester vacated his seat, and Littlefinger picked up a poor-quality pen and began to write letters while listening to the narration of the poor.

Just when Littlefinger thought he was going to faint from hunger, one of the assistant maesters finally came to Littlefinger to change his guard.Littlefinger rubbed his sore wrist, took the two black breads with kimchi sandwiched by the bachelor, finally smiled, sat on the wooden stand beside him, and started to gobble it up. It was the first time he felt that this kind of food for the poor was so tasty.

"Hahaha, a cowardly family that only relies on women!" "Hang up a silver deer once in their house, and those women can support his father and this illegitimate child! Haha."

"What, you still want to do it, you son of a bitch?"

There was a noise from the side, and the people around quickly dispersed after seeing it. The noble youths were about to fight again.

The crowd started to make noise, Littlefinger climbed up the table to look around, and saw the two sides of the conflict, one side was only a noble young man and his three attendant knights, and the other side were five noble young men, followed by more than a dozen knights .

Littlefinger recognized the coats of arms on the burqas of both sides, the one with the most people was a black crow circled on a red background, and the one with the few people was a golden shield and a red horse: "It's the Blackwood family and the Bracken family again, here are the It's a good show."

The five men of the Blackwood family went shopping after lunch in Riverrun, and by chance they met Hendry Bracken, the heir of the Bracken family.

The five people laughed at him, Hendry Bracken, about sending five daughters to the Red Castle as maids. Even if the other party had a large number of people, Hendry couldn't lose face, and immediately quarreled with the other party .

But one mouth can't speak more than five mouths, and Hendry Bracken, out of anger, drew his long sword to challenge the opponent to a duel.

"Disarm his followers!" Brynden Blackwood, the eldest of the five brothers, spoke, commanding the knights behind him to do it.

More than a dozen knights rushed over, and the three knights of the Bracken family were quickly knocked down, their long swords were thrown aside, and they were pushed down to the ground, their faces covered in mud.

Brynden Blackwood is very smart, he didn't accept the opponent's request for a duel. Five people have an advantage over one person, so why should we fight.The five began to besiege Hendry.

"You bastards, have you forgotten the wedding of Duke Renly in King's Landing? I'll beat you to the ground by myself!" Hendry Bracken stood guard with his long sword in both hands, trying to use words The other party is distracted.

"I seem to remember you being beaten and carried home, haha." The boss, Brynden Blackwood, turned behind him and kicked him in the crook of the knee.

Hendry Bracken was attacked and couldn't stand stably. The moment he knelt down, he leaned on the ground with his long sword and didn't fall down, but he also lost his balance. Blackwood's third child took advantage of this opportunity to kick on his back. chest, kicking him to the ground.

The two families have hated each other for thousands of years, and there have been no incidents in recent generations. Now both sides are still very restrained, just trying their best to insult each other.

"Your five sisters might as well marry us. Five pairs of five are just right. We will become your brother-in-law and brother-in-law. Please call and listen first!"

"Don't insult them!" Hendry Bracken's long sword had already been knocked down, and he tried to rush up again but was kicked back.

Five people played with him and made him muddy. Every time he was kicked down, Hendry Bracken got up quickly.But he was alone, and gradually exhausted, he was kicked back and knocked down a tent.

"Hahaha, look at how miserable your Bracken family is, relying on a woman to spread your legs, isn't it your turn to spread your legs next?"

"Hahaha."

Vendors’ tents these days are not very particular, they can pile as much stuff as they can inside, even some goods are placed on the top of the tent, the tent that Hendry Bracken knocked down and the tent frame next to it are tied together with ropes Together, several tents fell one after another.

The crowd of spectators also quickly dispersed, shouting and rushing around.

The tent of the wood carving vendor was also implicated and began to collapse. A few sharp wood carvings on the top of the tent fell, and they were about to hit a noble girl in pink. Robb, who was still holding a flower in her mouth, had no time to spit it out. Save people in the past.

Robb took the girl by the waist and hugged her away, taking advantage of the opportunity, they turned around in a circle. Robb looked into the girl's eyes, and the sharp wood carving fell on his head without piercing the skin. The wood carving turned around and fell on Robb. The head stood up like a crown.

"You're drooling!" The girl looked at Robb, who was dripping slowly down the stem of the flower.

Ignoring the teasing of the girls next to him, Robb quickly spit out the flowers, blushed and sucked the saliva back into his mouth with a "hiss!", and made a polite smile that he thought was the most handsome.

"Aren't you going to let go?" the girl in pink asked him again.

Robb let go of his hand quickly.

Robb swears!At the beginning, Arianne Martell approached on the initiative, but later she became confused, and she was passive!Now is the first time I have the feeling of heartbeat.

"Get up! Bastard!" The other side was still yelling.

Just in time!Robb saw the whole process of the conflict, and the side with a large number of people restrained himself from being cruel. As long as no one was killed, a fight was normal, and it was considered a drama.Just trying to get rid of the embarrassment now, these people still dare to continue to make trouble.

"Stop!" Robb yelled.

The five members of the Blackwood family and their knights all looked over: "Are you trying to stand up for this bastard?"

"Don't go!" Several girls wanted to hold Robb.

"Let him go! He recently lost his fugitive, and he feels very uncomfortable, just to vent." Meera Reed came to several girls eating a small fruit.

"Hit them hard!" Ouch!Ow!Aliya and the two wolf cubs followed suit.

Chapter 190: Robb's Spring

Perhaps it was the girl who was interested, Robb Stark's usual cautious style was thrown aside, and he decided to meddle in this business with almost no hesitation.

"The whole continent knows about your two families, but five fight one, there is no honor to speak of."

Robb stood in front of Bracken in the small square. Meera came over and wanted to hand him the two swords, but Robb refused with a wave of his hand.
