"Make a lot of money?" Gao Yuan couldn't believe that this sentence actually came from the mouth of the king in front of him. He threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground angrily, "What do you think my subordinates are? In the political game

Can you throw away chess pieces that can be discarded at any time?”

"I regard everyone who follows me as a brother, Ser Vardas, Cantor, and Lance. I remember each of their names. I wonder, Lord Robert, if you still remember those who have followed you and are willing to sacrifice for you.

The name of the person who gave birth to life." At this moment, Gao Yuan's voice was as cold as the ice and snow in the north.

"If this is what you call justice!" Gao Yuan said angrily, "Those who fought side by side with you in the Reaver War and resisted the rule of Mad King Yinris are really blind. They sacrificed everything to obtain justice.

, but only got a hypocritical king, I really feel unworthy for these people."

After hearing this, Cersei Lannister immediately sarcastically said: "If anyone dared to speak to the Targaryens in this tone before..."

"Do you think I am Yinlis?" King Robert interrupted her, and by the way, he warned Gao Yuan implicitly.

"I regard you as the king of the Seven Kingdoms. As far as legal and in-law relationships are concerned, Jaime and Tyrion are both your brothers. Now the Starks have joined forces with outsiders to drive away one and capture the other."

Queen Cersei said this in a rather disdainful tone.

"Every word this outsider just said is humiliating you, but you will just sit there and let him humiliate and belittle you, the king."

King Robert suddenly became angry after what she said. He scolded angrily with a sullen face: "Smelly woman, how many times do you want me to say it before you shut up?"

"The gods in the sky have really played a big joke on us." The look on Cersei Lannister's face could not be more contemptuous. "I am the one who should go into battle, but you

She is only worthy of wearing a skirt and being a woman."

At this moment, Robert could no longer hold back the anger in his heart. The king, whose face turned purple, stood up and came to the queen, stretched out his hand and slapped her on the face.

"Pa..." A loud slap rang out in the room, and Cersei Lannister was slapped to the ground by the king. Queen Cersei staggered up from the ground without saying a word, she just looked at her

She looked at her husband bitterly.

He stretched out his slender fingers and caressed the half of his face that was slapped. The smooth and delicate snow-white skin on his cheeks began to turn red at this moment, and then began to swell at a speed visible to the naked eye. Robert's slap looked like a serious slap.

light.

"I will consider this a badge of honor!" Cersei Lannister declared to the king.

"Since it's a medal, you have to wear it quietly for me, otherwise I don't mind hanging a medal on the other side of your face." King Robert threatened.

After saying this, the king asked Sir Barristan to send the queen back: "The queen is tired today. Sir Barristan, please send her back to her room."

Ser Barristan walked up to the queen, helped her up, and led her out without saying a word.

When Ser Barristan took the queen out, King Robert magnanimously picked up the wine glass that Gao Yuan had thrown on the ground, and filled his wine glass with wine without any hesitation.

After doing all this, the king sat in front of him again and drank a large glass of wine: "Duke Gaoyuan, you also saw how she contradicted me just now."

"This is my dear wife, the mother of my child!" At this moment, his anger had dissipated, but all Gao Yuan saw in his eyes was sadness and fear. He stared down at the hand that slapped the queen, as if he didn't feel right. He understood why he was so impulsive just now, "I shouldn't have hit her. This is really not... It's really not what a king should do."

"I'm sorry for what I just said, Your Majesty!" Gao Yuan also apologized to him, "What I just said was indeed a bit excessive."

"No, I am the one who should say sorry!" King Robert shook his head, "I know that what you and Eddard did was right, but I have no way to uphold justice for you. Just because I am the king, I need to maintain the stability and order of this country. Absolute justice and fairness cannot make this country peaceful and peaceful."

"In order to maintain the peace and stability we have now, sometimes I have to make political compromises with them, even if it goes against justice and fairness in the eyes of the world. This is politics."

"Duke Gaoyuan, what you just said is correct. I am indeed not worthy of everyone's following, and I have never been a qualified king. The reason why I chose to overthrow the Mad King back then was not to safeguard justice, but to regain my destiny. Anna and help Ed get revenge."

"Let me tell you secretly: I have dreamed more than once of giving up the throne, taking my horse and warhammer by boat to the Free Trade City, and experiencing the feeling of fighting and taking risks every day and embracing different women. I think that is what I should do. A life of experience." King Robert poured out his heart to him.

"As the leader of a mercenary group, bards will definitely fall in love with me and tell my story to the world."

"Do you know why I didn't really do that?" Before Gao Yuan could answer, the king explained, "Because I know that as long as Joffrey sits on the throne, Cersei will definitely be beside him to influence his decisions and decisions. Idea. Maybe the old lion Tywin will be there to guide and control, so that he becomes the puppet of the Lannister family."

"If a Lannister is allowed to sit in my position, then this country will be doomed, and Joffrey's fate will not be any better than Yinris." At this point, the depressed King Robert said again Had a large glass of wine.

"The Lannister family has always been ambitious!" Gao Yuan nodded in agreement. "Since Your Majesty the King knows their ambitions, why don't you make up your mind to eradicate them?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It is not as simple as you think to eradicate the Lannister family forces led by the old lion Tywin, Duke Gao Yuan!" the king told

He said, "I only discovered this after Jon Arryn's death. When their ambitions began to emerge, I was already deeply surrounded by the Lannister family, and now it is too late to completely eradicate them."

.”

"Your Majesty Robert, I have something to talk to you about." Gao Yuan said, "About Jon Arryn's lifetime..."

King Robert stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing. He rubbed his painful temples: "Duke Gaoyuan, let's stop it here!"

"I think we have talked enough today. I plan to go to the Prime Minister's Tower to visit Ed later..." the king said, "If there is anything important, wait until Ed wakes up and tell him directly.

.”

King Robert stood up from his chair. He took out the heavy hand-shaped silver badge from the lining of his cloak and placed it in front of Gao Yuan: "By the way, when Ed wakes up from the coma, you will put it for me."

Return this badge of the Hand of the King to him, and say sorry to him on my behalf."

Gao Yuan pushed the emblem of the King's Hand back to the king: "Your Majesty, please give this to Lord Ed personally!"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the day when Lord Eddard wakes up. Tomorrow I will take Earl Yohn and the others to Dragonstone Island." Gao Yuan told the king, "There are still many things waiting for me in the Eagle's Nest City.

Go back and deal with it, I also need to go back and make preparations in advance for the little girl from the Targary family."

The next morning.

Before leaving, Gao Yuan said his final goodbyes to Eddard Stark in the Prime Minister's Tower. Although Eddard Stark was still lying in bed and unconscious at the moment, he believed that it was necessary for him to say goodbye to Eddard Stark before leaving.

The last face on the shoulders of Duke K.

It's just this separation in King's Landing that the two may never see each other again. This lord from the north is now deeply immersed in the political quagmire of King's Landing. As long as he still has a glimmer of hope for the king,

Hopefully, he will only sink deeper and deeper into it. The deep friendship between Eddard and King Robert determines that he cannot escape from this dangerous vortex.

Political naivety and kindness are his biggest weaknesses. There is no middle ground in the game of power. If you don't want to be the winner, you will only die. His kindness and naivety will sooner or later kill himself, and sooner or later he will kill those around him.

Everyone.

Although Ed's failure was almost doomed, Gao Yuan finally left a secret letter for him before leaving. This secret letter was handed over to Stark's butler Poole for safekeeping, and he could only wait until Ed woke up.

Only after arriving will the secret letter be handed over to him.

Gao Yuan recorded everything he knew about the king's illegitimate son in this secret letter. However, he did not directly point out the ulterior secrets of the Lannister siblings in the secret letter.

Because if he reveals these secrets to Ed in advance, it may bring unpredictable results to the plot that will happen later, and this is not what Gao Yuan wants to see.

The content of this secret letter may not be able to save Ed's final outcome of failure, but it can at least leave him and his two daughters with the last escape route. As for whether Ed and his two daughters can escape from King's Landing.

It ultimately depends on Ed's personal choice to escape unscathed.

But what is certain is that if he can follow his own arrangements at the last critical moment, this will at least save Ed's two daughters and prevent the tragedy of the two girls in the original work from happening again.

.This can be regarded as Gao Yuan's repayment for Ed's previous help. This is all he can do.

After bidding farewell to Eddard Stark in the Prime Minister's Tower, Gao Yuan, who was all ready, went straight to the pier of Blackwater Bay. The sailboat that Bronze Yohn had contacted the day before was already waiting on the pier, and the temporarily recruited sailors were waiting on the pier.

Move the large amount of supplies he purchased from King's Landing to the cabin

The sailors were busy on the pier, and a slightly salty sea breeze blew on the beach of Blackwater Bay. The blood-red comet dragged its long tail, hanging above the blue sea level in the morning, and the fish-belly white sky seemed to be covered by

A wound was opened, and the sailors said it was the gods in the sky weeping blood.

The preparations before going to sea were not completed until close to noon. Under the shouts of the old captain, Gao Yuan took the bronze Yohn and other people to board this old-looking sailing ship. The end of their voyage will be about

Earl En’s Runestone City will also stop briefly at Dragonstone, the place where the former rulers of the Targaryen family thrived.

Dragonstone Island is an island formed by the eruption of the active volcano of Dragon Mountain. It is located at the mouth of Haihai Bay. Its special geographical strategic location allows the royal fleet stationed here to easily guard or block the passage to Blackwater Bay.

maritime chokepoint.

Because the sea breeze blows from the sea to the land during the day, the speed of the sailboat Gao Yuan and his crew were unable to increase. During this period, they even encountered a strange Gulf Stream, and the experienced captain almost lost his way.

It wasn't until they were about halfway through their journey that the wind direction on the sea reversed and the sailboat began to sail smoothly. Only then did the old captain named Hans find the correct sailing direction and continue moving forward.

There are hundreds of miles between the docks of King's Landing and Dragonstone, and they have only traveled a small part of the journey until the night is dark. The rocking sailboat is bumpy and sailing on the sea all night long, and the old captain Hans arranged for an experienced sailor to sail on the sea.

Night duty at the helm.

Therefore, they did not have to worry about wasting too much time at night. According to the old captain's speculation, if the night sailing went well, they would see the port of Dragonstone in the early morning of the next day.

Just as the old captain expected, when the orange glow appeared on the eastern sea level the next day, everyone on the deck saw the hazy outline of Dragonstone. As their ship slowly sailed in

When we arrived at the port of Dragonstone, the sky over the sea was already bright.

As the ship gradually approached the dock of Dragonstone Island, many sailors on the deck began to get busy. Under the command of the old captain, they were preparing to dock.

Gao Yuan, who walked onto the deck, only took one look and understood why Stannis Baratheon was resentful of his brother for sequestering him to Dragonstone. Apart from a huge castle on the entire island, there was only one

A small fishing village exists. Although there are a large number of royal ships moored in the port, compared to the prosperous King's Landing port, it seems so deserted and desolate.

Gao Yuan can guarantee that if the Royal Fleet had not stationed and stayed again, this small fishing village on the seaside might not exist. The merchant ships passing here would not stop here at all, because those merchant ships would not even have the most basic supplies here.

No, unless they encountered a storm at sea and the ship was damaged, they might rather sail all night than stay here.
