Chapter 46: I will avenge him!
When Robert and Ed Stark returned, it was already evening. Bookmark this site
I went out for a day and heard that my son was dead when I came back. No one could stand it.
Robert's anger was no less than Cersei, and he called Gao Xianda over at that time.
"Who did it? Are you a bastard?" Robert punched the table in front of him, almost knocking over the stone table. Although he was too drunk, his huge strength and irritable temper did not change at all.
"How is it possible? Robert, calm down!" Gao Xianda pretended to be sad, although he was not sad about Joffrey's death, "I brought the prince's body back. If it were me, why wouldn't I send a killer to do it? I have to go on an adventure in person? The wilderness is not far from the camp, and others may pass by at any time. Moreover, he is my nephew!"
"You're right." Robert nodded, "My dear brother, I blame you wrongly. You know, there are so many people who want to harm us now! Someone killed Xiao Qiao today, and someone may come to kill me tomorrow!"
"No, Robert. They fear your bravery and dare not kill you." Gao Xianda said, "They just want to make you sad. Their next target may even be me."
"No more, the two guards around you are very good. I heard from Balistan that they are better than the other Royal Guards." Robert said, "At least you don't have to worry about your safety. But I don't know if these guys want to kill their monarchs under the influence of the regicide."
"Reignslayer" is the nickname for James Lannister. This is certainly not a good name.
He used to be the former king, the Iron Guard of Elis II, but he violated his oath and killed Elis with his own hands.
So everyone calls him "Renkiller".
And among the Royal Guards, Robert was not sure if there would be another person. But in order to appease the Lannister family, Robert had to keep him.
"Is this what Balistan said?" Gao Xianda asked strangely. He clearly remembered that Balistan had once asked Gao Xianda to keep the secret of the competition.
"Yes, it's him," said Robert. "He told me a long time ago that the two children around you, although they are young, will one day become great knights, stronger than all the Royal Guards."
I see.
Gao Xianda nodded.
He said that Balistan would not tell Robert about the failure of the duel of the Royal Guard. This would only deepen the king's distrust of the Royal Guards. He just didn't know if Balistan would say good things about Gao Xianda's two guards in front of others after this competition.
And this time, the guards brought out by Balistan actually lost the fight with the mercenaries in the village shop. Two people died with more and less. It was really embarrassing to leave home.
"The two little girls from the Stark family were with you at the time, weren't they?" Robert asked.
"Yes. They are playing with Your Highness." Gao Xianda said.
"They didn't have any trouble, it's good," Robert said. "I'm just wondering why they didn't get any injuries. Xiao Qiao had so much blood on his body. The teeth marks on his arm seemed to be bitten by a wolf?"
"Yes. Your Highness likes those little wolves very much, but the little wolves don't seem to like him." Gao Xianda lied. Joffrey didn't like those little wolves, but he couldn't say Joffrey attacked Arya, right?
"I know what kind of virtue that kid is! You don't have to say good things for him." Robert said. He was obviously aging when he learned that his heir was dead. But he had two sons, and his second son Toman was at least alive. He is now the heir to the kingdom.
"Do you know who killed him?" Robert said again, "Even if I am not a king, as a father, I must avenge him!"
"I only know one thing," said Gao Xianda. "The Hundred Flowers Knight chased after him and pulled off half of his cloak. We may be able to follow this clue to find the killer. But the envoy behind him..."
"You are the Minister of Justice, and it is your job to arrest the murderer." Robert said, "I will give you twenty people, and the free riders who came voluntarily outside. Be sure to catch that guy back! As for the sanguage behind him, if he refuses to say it, knock off his teeth one by one with a hammer!"
"There will naturally be a better way to interrogate things." Gao Xianda nodded, "I will let them know the king's majesty."
Gao Xianda then left Robert's tent. Dong Xie and Gui Mei were waiting at the door.
Such a big thing happened, Robert would rather stay in the tent than go back to the palace to see Cersei's stinky face.
If it were normal times, Robert would have laughed out loud if he could see Cersei lose his temper. But now, his son is dead. He knew that Cersei would chatter and ask him to avenge his son.
He was already doing it, so he didn't want to listen to Cersei.
Knowing the arrival of the important officials, Cersei had arranged a tent for Gao Xianda and others. Gao Xianda walked towards his tent and happened to pass by Cersei's Wheel Palace.
Then he saw the "hunter dog" Sandor Clicang walking out of the Wheel Palace in shame, and Cersei's angry curse came from the Wheel Palace.
The main responsibility of the hunting dog is to keep Jofry safe. However, because Jofry thought the hunting dog was ugly, he might scare Sansa, so he sent him away when he went out to play.
If there were hunting dogs guarding next to him, this kind of tragedy would not have happened. His nose was more erect than a dog, and he would definitely be able to smell a dangerous smell, blocking Joffrey's face before the assassin appeared.
But he didn't follow him after all, and Joffrey was dead. It was already good that the angry Cersei did not let the hunting dogs pay their lives.
"Are you okay?" Gao Xianda asked. Although the hunting dog is ugly, it can be seen that he is a warrior with martial arts skills that is no less than that of Balistan. Gao Xianda retains respect for him to the strong.
"It's not your business! Boy!" The hunting dog roared at Gao Xianda.
"Please respect the key points to Lord Lan Li!" Dong Xie said from the side.
"Hehe, what an adult!" The hunting dog grinned, with a very terrifying smile. "Come and tell me, how can you watch Joffrey die before you?"
"I was still some distance away from him at that time." Gao Xianda said, "I don't want to disturb the children's play."
"So you watched him die before you?" asked the Hunter.
