Eddard Stark chose to attack the Lannister family at this time, which was undoubtedly extremely stupid in the eyes of others. They must all be secretly laughing at Eddard Stark for overestimating his capabilities.

Although King Robert intends to let Eddard Stark succeed the previous Prime Minister, he has not yet taken over the power of Prime Minister from the hands of the Royal Council. At this time, he chooses to go to war with the powerful Lannister family. More or less

Seems a little unwise.

Even though Eddard has now officially taken over the position of Prime Minister, the Lannister family in the royal capital is not something he can act rashly. After all, Cersei Lannister is King Robert's queen, and the two siblings have deeply cultivated their power in King's Landing.

Over the years, the connections and influence he has accumulated have been deeply rooted in every corner of the royal capital.

Looking around the entire reception hall, most of them are actually confidants that Queen Cersei has secretly cultivated over the years; or they have been bribed by the Lannister family's immense wealth. Those who remain neutral today are

There are very few people, let alone those who secretly hate and oppose them, and they have already been secretly eliminated by the two siblings.

The reason why Queen Cersei chose to compromise in the conflict just now was not because Eddard was about to become the new Prime Minister, but more because of King Robert's strong position and supreme power. Queen Cersei's compromise was just

It was the result of the mediating king abusing his strong position and power and being crushed.

On the surface, this conflict that took place on the banks of the Trident River was a conflict between the Wolf family, who was about to take over as Prime Minister, and the Queen's Lion family. In fact, in this conflict and competition for power, the real confrontation with the Lion family was now

King Robert.

"Ned, you really deserve to go to the seven hells." King Robert wailed, "You think the trouble you have caused me these past few days is not enough. What on earth do you want to do? How can Jaime provoke you?

Already?"

"What I believe in is the old gods. Even if the old gods think that I am guilty, my destination cannot be the hell of the seven gods." Ed's tone was very firm. Since the matter had come to this, he had no reason to compromise anymore.

Just like Queen Cersei refused to let them go easily, "Your Majesty the King, it was your order to ask Jaime to bring my daughter here, right?"

"That's right, it was my intention to ask Jaime to bring your daughter here." Robert frowned upon hearing this, "I have already explained to you, I did not expect to scare her, I just wanted Jaime to bring your daughter here."

Just bring her here first and settle this matter as soon as possible."

Ed stepped forward and asked, "So is it your intention to let the Kingslayer lead soldiers to surround my people and force them to hand over Arya?"

King Robert stared at him for a long time, then turned to look at the queen and her brothers. He immediately understood the reason why Eddard was angry at this moment. He said angrily: "Cersei, you deserve to die!"

"Kingslayer, get here!"

Jaime Lannister walked out from behind Queen Cersei. When he was about to speak, Cersei Lannister interrupted him: "I don't think there's anything wrong with Jaime's behavior tonight. You ordered him to go and kill history."

The wild girl from the Tucker family was brought to you."

"He did as he was told, and he did it! Does he have to be punished for doing what you asked him to do?"

"Cersei, don't make me tear up your stinky mouth. I'm telling the Kingslayer to get out of here now." King Robert angrily scolded, "He did follow my instructions, but he didn't do enough.

pretty."

Queen Cersei's eyes flashed with a stern look. She stepped forward and wanted to say something, but was pulled back by Jaime Lannister. The Kingslayer walked up to the king with his head held high, and when he passed by Eddard

He didn't forget to give him a fierce look.

"Snapped..."

King Robert raised his hand and slapped the regicide on the face. The crisp sound of his palm slapping hard on the cheek resounded throughout the entire reception hall, and everyone watching in the hall couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

.

Jaime Lannister turned his head coldly, and saw a bloody handprint appeared on his clean and tidy face in the blink of an eye, and a trace of blood slowly dripped from the corner of his mouth.

"I did ask you to bring the little girl of the Stark family to me, but did I ask you to lead soldiers to besiege the Stark family?" King Robert asked in a low tone,

"I asked you why the child cried so heart-brokenly when you brought him in."

"Your Majesty, the Starks refused to hand over the little girl!" Jaime Lannister explained, "Before I led people to surround them, I clearly informed them that this was an order from the king.

, but they still refused to implement it.”

King Robert frowned and looked at Ed beside him. His old friend's eyes were cold and indifferent at the moment. Then he looked through the reception hall and found Gaoyuan hidden in the crowded crowd.

.

"Ser Gofar!" King Robert called softly.

Hearing King Robert calling him, Gao Yuan squeezed through the crowded crowd and came to the front of the king and others with his head held high.

"Ser Goyuan, I remember that the little Stark girl entered this hall under your escort, right?" King Robert asked.

Gao Yuan happily admitted: "Yes, Miss Arya was indeed escorted in by me."

"Can you tell me why you appeared next to Arya?" King Robert continued to ask, "I'm asking, when did you start guarding that little girl."

"I found Miss Arya from the forest around the Bright Moon Mountains. I once promised Lord Stark that if I find her, I will continue to protect Miss Arya before handing her over to Lord Stark."

To protect her safety." Gao Yuan replied, "Therefore, I have been protecting her since I found her."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What a loyal and reliable knight." King Robert nodded after hearing this, "So, after Sir James led the soldiers to kill the Stark family,

You were always present when we surrounded them and forced them to hand over Miss Arya, right?"

"You are right, Your Majesty!" Gao Yuan confirmed Robert's guess.

"Very well, Ser Goyuan!" Robert said, "Now please, tell me exactly what happened when Ser Jaime led his men to surround you. Don't miss any detail. I want you to

Everything they said to each other was repeated to me."

"To be honest, don't try to be clever here. I can hear it. If I know that you are deceiving me, I will have your head cut off," Robert warned.

Gao Yuan nodded solemnly, and then began to tell King Robert and everyone present what happened when he led Arya back to Darry City.

"When I took Miss Arya back to Darry City, almost all the guards at the city gate were members of the Lannister family. One of their guards stopped us outside the city gate, saying that he wanted to

After they report the news to the Queen, they will let us in with the Queen's permission."

"How did you determine that the guards at the city gates were members of the Lannister family?" Robert asked in a deep voice.

"They held the golden lion banner of House Lannister in their hands, and the armor worn by the guards also wore the emblem of House Lannister."

After answering King Robert's question, Gao Yuan continued: "While I was taking Miss Arya outside the city gate and waiting for the guards to let me go, Lord Stark's captain of the guard, Jory Kelso, happened to be walking from the city.

Come out. After he learned that we could not enter the city, Qiao Li brought twenty northern soldiers from the city to guard us."

"Not long after the guards at the city gate went in and reported to the queen, Ser Jaime Lannister rushed to the scene with a group of soldiers from the Lannister family, and directly surrounded me and the soldiers from the north.

, and demand that Miss Arya be handed over to their hands."

"What did the Kingslayer say at that time?" As Gao Yuan spoke, Robert's face became more and more gloomy, and there was anger hidden in his voice, but he suppressed this anger secretly. At this time

What Gao Yuan told was not enough for him to judge whether Jaime Lannister was at fault in this.

Just leading people to surround the northern soldiers and Gao Yuan and others was not a big mistake. The regicide could completely blame those soldiers for these mistakes.

"'There are just a few wolves... I am here to bring the murderer who hurt my nephew to the king for trial. I advise you to obediently hand over the little Stark girl in your hands to me.

Otherwise, I don't mind bringing a few more wolf cub heads to see the king. 'These are Sir James's exact words, Your Majesty!" Gao Yuan reproduced exactly what the regicide said at that time.

When this incident occurred, Ed was searching in the forest beside the Green Fork River. Regarding the conflict that occurred at the gate of Darry City, he only knew that the Kingslayer had led people to surround his subordinates and

His daughter was brought to King Robert.

When he listened to Gao Yuan's retelling of the Kingslayer's threats, he immediately grabbed Jaime Lannister's collar angrily: "How dare you...How dare you call my daughter a murderer? She is just a nine-year-old girl, and you actually call her a murderer."

James, who was grabbed by the collar by Ed, had a bit of mockery in his eyes: "Stark, you still think your daughter is innocent now, do you?"

"The murderer is the murderer. This is a fact! It won't be because of her that you are my daughter..."

Before Jaime Lannister could finish his words, he was interrupted by a heavy punch. Eddard waved his fist and hit the Kingslayer hard in the face, knocking him to the ground.

The crowd in the reception hall was agitated, and most of them were close confidants and supporters of the Lannister siblings, including many who were direct subordinates of Jaime Lannister.

The crowd around him was about to move, and Gao Yuan saw that someone had quietly touched his right hand to the hilt of his sword, and some even pulled out a sharp dagger directly from his waist, and then hid it in his cuff.

"That's enough! Ned!" King Robert roared, stopping Ed from continuing to hurt Jaime. "Leave the Kingslayer to me. Please believe that I will give you a satisfactory answer."

Eddard Stark, who had pinned the regicide to the ground, turned his head to look at his old friend. He saw King Robert looking at him with pleading eyes, and then he reluctantly let go of the regicide in his hand. He took off his collar, got off the regicide and walked to Robert's side.

"Sir Gao Yuan, please continue talking!" King Robert glanced at Gao Yuan's right hand that was touching the hilt of his sword. "Relax, young man! As long as I am here, you can speak frankly."

Gao Yuan smiled helplessly. In his eyes, these so-called elite knights of the Seven Kingdoms were nothing more than crooked melons. Even if these people swarmed up, they would not even think of hurting him at all. What really worried Gao Yuan Yes, the cuckold king and the northern duke in front of me received their lunch boxes in advance.

"Jory Kelso asked Ser Jaime if he knew Arya was the daughter of the King's Hand. Ser Jaime said: 'Your lord is not yet the King's Hand, but now he is just a lord in a remote area. ,Besides, this is the king's order.'" Gao Yuan continued to tell.

"The northern soldiers who came to protect Miss Arya refused to accept Sir Jaime's threats and demands. In order to prevent Sir Jaime from taking Miss Arya from their hands, Jory and the others chose to protect Miss Arya to the death. safety.”

"Seeing this scene, Ser Jaime immediately gave an order to the soldiers he brought, ordering them to kill all Jory and other northern soldiers, leaving only Miss Arya alive and bring them to the king for trial."

"When the tension between the two sides was tense, I stood up and asked Ser Jaime whether it was the king's order to bring Arya before the king for trial as he said, or whether it was the order of his sister Cersei Lannister. Order."

"After receiving a positive reply from Sir Jaime, I began to persuade Jory and other northern soldiers to give up their resistance, and proposed that I take Arya to the drawing room to meet the king."

After Gao Yuan told the entire incident, there was no suspense about who was right or wrong in this conflict. Although Jaime Lannister did follow the king's instructions, he killed the Stark family's little boy.

The wolf girl was brought before the king, but he twisted the king's order and almost caused a catastrophe. Eddard no longer had any doubts about the accusation of the regicide, and it was up to King Robert to prepare for this.

How to punish the regicide.

How to punish the regicide was a very troublesome issue for King Robert. But fortunately, the conflict eventually subsided and did not lead to a catastrophe.

The fact that the Kingslayer led his men to surround the Northern soldiers and threaten them can be explained by the misunderstanding between the two sides. But if the Kingslayer really led his men to kill all the Northern soldiers who were protecting Ed's daughter, then this would
