Chapter 60: You bastards!
Anyway, this line has been broken, and unless Ersos captures Chen Bali, Gao Xianda will not be able to know who is the mastermind behind the scenes.
Moreover, Gao Xianda firmly believed that Chen Bali could not only release the mission to this team. The mercenary team had a firm belief that they wanted to come to King's Land, and they might also want to assassinate.
In addition to Chen Bali's own team, at least three teams are still in secret activities ready to assassinate the people on the list. Gao Xianda, an important minister of the court, must also be on this list.
Let the king and the prime minister both worry about the rest.
Because James is not in good health for the time being, the team temporarily belongs to Gao Xianda.
Although they drank too much, they also knew that Lord Renli grabbed the torch that fell from the sky at a critical moment; Lord Renli killed the guards blocking the door; Lord Renli defeated and captured the murderer who assassinated His Highness Joffrey.
So although the Lannister family warriors were only loyal to the Lannister family, Gao Xianda was also very popular among them. Don’t mention the employed knights and Northern cavalry.
Some people even believe that Gao Xianda is a copy of Robert from his youth, and in fact he should be the heir to the king.
Of course, Gao Xianda resolutely fought back against this statement.
"His Highness Toman is the legal heir and our future king." Gao Xianda said, "I am just a person who lives alone. I feel very happy if I can live in the king's gangster."
This not only made ordinary people feel Gao Xianda's modesty and prudence, but also made some people with ulterior motives unable to find the excuse to attack Gao Xianda.
Gao Xianda and his team walked south along the Trident River. The sentries along the way found out that the king and the prime minister were now stationed in Derey.
A long time ago, the Darry family was once prominent. However, after Laozhaoyi, the Darry family, who stood in the Targaryen family, was satisfied that they could obtain Robert's pardon and retain a small amount of fiefdom.
Raymond Darry's three brothers all died on the banks of the Trident River with Raygar. Robert will not forget this, nor will Raymond not forget this.
At this time, the king and his subordinates came uninvited to force their way into his castle. Although the city lord Raymond Derey didn't say anything, he even expressed welcome. However, the king's team, the Raymond family, the Lannister family and the Stark family mixed together, and all rushed into the narrow castle. The tense atmosphere can be imagined.
But fortunately, Gao Xianda completed the task.
"Is this guy doing it?" Robert said, looking at the archer who had been stripped down below.
"Yes," said Gao Xianda, "they are a small team, employed by some strange man to assassinate important figures in the court. But the real murderer behind the scenes has fled to the east continent of Esos."
After saying that, Gao Xianda took out the confession he had interrogated these days and gave Robert a look.
But Robert didn't want to see it at all. He looked very angry.
"These bastards!" Robert cursed, "You mean, their target of assassination is not just Joffrey, but me?"
"That's right." Gao Xianda nodded, "There are all the lords present and me. Although the real murderer has escaped, the reward mission he issued is still there. I believe that the assassination may still happen in the next days. I hope you all must pay attention to safety."
"Let them do it!" Robert roared, "I want to see if their bows and arrows are powerful, or my hammer is powerful!"
Ed said slowly from the side: "Rob, don't act irritating, I think you really need to strengthen your security."
Balistan also said: "Your Majesty, I will send additional personnel to defend the safety of you, the Queen and the two His Highnesses."
"Send more people to protect Toman and Messera." Robert said, "It doesn't matter to me. Well, no, Balistan, you can defend them yourself! If something goes wrong with them, you can just slap yourself to thank the world."
Balistan's face changed, but then nodded and said, "Yes."
The primary task of the Royal Guard is to protect the king's safety and will not be held responsible to others unless there are special orders.
This time, Robert named Balistan to protect Toman and Messera. It can be said to be trusted or distrustful. It depends on what Balistan himself thinks.
Anyway, Joffrey's death made him lose trust in everyone.
Of course, it’s not bad that he was too right to Gao Xianda. After all, Gao Xianda caught the real murderer back.
"You caught him?" Robert asked Gao Xianda.
"It's Sir Loras," said Gao Xianda.
So Gao Xianda said in vain how they settled in Herenburg, how Mrs. Hean and the contractors ambush them, and how they ignorantly told the story of the murderers.
Of course, because James and Cersei were both present, Gao Xianda did not forget to tell the story of James fighting the five murderers alone, and loudly praised James for his bravery.
"Heroic? But wasn't you injured in the end?" Robert said, "and caught nothing!"
James was a little angry when he heard Robert's humiliation, but in the end he didn't say anything, just turned around and walked out.
"He is my brother! You shouldn't be humiliating him like this!" Cersei said from the side.
"Yes, he is your brother, a stupid woman, just as stupid as you!" Robert said, "If he were my brother, he would have caught the murderer like Renly!"
Then he turned his head, looked at Gao Xianda, and said, "You did a good job, brother, I feel a little like I did back then. Just like what I said before, whoever catches the murderer can be the guardian of the East. Now that your people have succeeded, the guardian of the East is yours."
Gao Xianda immediately knelt down on one knee and said to Robert: "His Majesty the King, it is not me who caught the murderer, but Sir Loras. My position is too high and I am too young to need any reward. I just hope that I can be with you every day. If you have to do anything, I hope you can return the position of guardianship of the East to the Irene's house."
"Enough, boy!" Hearing this, Robert was obviously a little unhappy, "They all said that you were like me when you were young, but I have never been a flatterer! I will never give the position of guardianship of the East Realm to a child who is still stinky!"
Gao Xianda kept kneeling and did not make any trouble.
