Chapter 14 The bastard who takes advantage and runs away
The loose T-shirt cannot cover up Little Rose's graceful figure at all.
Especially after getting close, the graceful curves feel perfect to the touch.
Linn's breathing was a little rapid...
Little Rose looked at him with wide eyes,
"Is this bastard finally showing his tail?"
"I really want to resist, but no, I must resist!"
"How should I resist? He's so strong! Maybe I can bite him!"
"His hands are so hot! Where is this bastard touching?"
the next day,
When the Knight of Flowers led a large group of cavalry to the valley again, he found that as soon as he entered the valley, all the food that was originally piled like a hill in the middle had disappeared!
There was a figure leaning under a big tree nearby. Loras galloped forward on horseback.
When he walked in, he saw that it was his sister, Rose Margaret of Highgarden, sitting and sleeping soundly against the big tree. The morning sun shone on her fair face, making it slightly pink.
Perhaps the sound of horse hooves woke her up. She blinked her long eyelashes and slowly opened her eyes. When she saw clearly that the person in front of her was her brother, she curled her lips a little aggrievedly.
"elder brother!"
Loras jumped off the horse, staggered and ran to her side, knelt down beside her, stretched out his hand to stop her shoulders, and said anxiously:
"My sister, are you hurt? Did those bastards hurt you?"
Margaery calmed down the excitement of seeing her relatives, stood up and checked herself, and found that she was wearing the dress she had worn when she disappeared, which was clean and tidy, as if it was brand new.
I can't wash it so cleanly. It's better to say I haven't washed it at all. How come it's so neat and tidy, as if it's brand new!
As for who put it on for me? No need to guess!
His face turned red and he cursed secretly "Asshole!".
"The bastard who took advantage and ran away!"
Looking around, she saw that the knights of the Gaoting family were already protecting her. She felt peaceful, but somehow felt a little empty. She always felt like something was missing.
"I'm fine, brother."
Loras let out a breath, turned around and ordered to the cavalry beside him,
"Send sentries to search for the whereabouts of the kidnappers. Find the hidden sentry left yesterday and ask them how many people the kidnappers came last night. If you want to transport such a large amount of supplies in one night, it will take a lot of people!"
"Yes, sir!" Several groups of knights obeyed the order and dispersed.
Loras saw that his sister had a different look on his face and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely catch them and cut them into pieces and feed them to the dogs!"
"Brother, catch him, don't hurt him first, teach me how to handle him!"
After Little Rose finished speaking, she added uneasily, "I want to take revenge with my own hands, you can't hurt him!"
Loras didn't even consider that there was anything wrong with his sister's words. It was the best news that his sister was back safely. He just wanted to catch the kidnapper and torture him before letting her vent his anger.
After a while, the cavalry came back and reported,
"Sir, we can't find any trace of the large group of people coming out of the valley!" The tone was full of confusion!
"That's impossible!" Loras shouted excitedly: "How many manpower and carriages are needed to transport tens of millions of kilograms of grain in one night? How is it possible that there are no traces?"
"Where are the secret sentries that were arranged around last night?"
"The secret sentries said that they all fell asleep for no reason at night!" There was something incredible in the knight's words.
Loras angrily laughed and said: "What? There are more than thirty secret whistles, all of them are asleep? Did you sleep comfortably?"
The knight said: "They said there was an overwhelming sense of sleepiness. I asked them one by one, and they fell asleep almost at the same time. I have no idea what happened!"
When Margaery heard them saying that no trace of the robbers could be found, she said with relief: "Let's go home!"
…
King's Landing,
The little devil finally received good news. Dorne agreed to Tyrion's marriage proposal. Princess Myrcella will marry Dorne and marry the youngest son of the Prince of Dorne, Tristan Maltair. Because both of them are still too young,
The princess will send samples to Dorne.
Other than that, it's all bad news,
Stannis captured Storm's End and personally led the 20,000 troops from the Stormlands who had just returned to attack King's Landing from the land. At the same time, his fleet, more than 200 warships, sailed to King's Landing from the sea.
Whether on land or sea, the little devil faced an absolute disadvantage, and the atmosphere in King's Landing became increasingly depressing. People were starving to death every day in King's Landing, and the people looked at the nobles with increasingly unkind eyes.
Tyrion felt that King's Landing was on a powder keg and could explode into the sky at any time!
However, the palace remains as luxurious and arrogant as ever. I heard that a maid was whipped yesterday because she soiled Joffrey's clothes.
Today is the day when the little princess leaves for Dorne. The royal family and ministers will go to the dock to see her off. Tyrion likes this little princess. Myrcella has kindness and beauty that are different from her mother. It is also important for her to leave the world of King's Landing.
Feel lucky to be in the right place!
On the way back, gold-robed lancers in black mail opened the way.
His Majesty sat on his horse with his betrothed Sansa Stark, flanked by the Kingsguard.
Followed by Cersei, Tyrion and others, followed by the fat Archbishop and other important ministers,
The archbishop was so fat that he could no longer walk on his own and had to be carried by many people.
The voices of prayers came from the crowd on the roadside,
"Please, Your Majesty, we want bread!"
"We are very hungry,"
"He is not your Majesty, he is a bastard!"
Noisy noises could not affect the emperor's mood, and his sister's long journey could not make him sad.
Emperor Qiao held his head high and rode his horse through the crowd,
Tyrion looked at the eyes of the people around him but felt a chill. He turned around and quickly ordered the guards to take Prince Tommen and leave first.
Suddenly, a woman rushed out of the crowd and knelt in front of Joffrey's horse. She held up the dead baby in her hands.
"Your Majesty, look, Your Majesty, my child is starving to death! He is only three months old because there is no bread!"
"Your Majesty, shouldn't you think of a way?"
Joffrey looked at the dead baby in her hand with disgust, and stepped on it with his horse. The iron hoof of the war horse trampled through the chest of the mother who had just lost her child. The crowd suddenly fell silent!
Everyone stared at this scene with wide eyes,
Emperor Qiao looked at the quiet situation with satisfaction, "How dare a pariah block the king's way? This is the end!"
Suddenly something flew out of the crowd, and hit him in the face with a "snap". Joffrey was stunned by the hit, and he stretched out his tongue and licked it.
The stench spread from his mouth, and the stuff even covered his mouth, nose and eyes.
"Ah! Kill them, I order you to kill them all!" Emperor Qiao went crazy! He desperately ordered the iron guards around him to kill the surrounding civilians!
Conflict broke out!
When the Iron Guard killed the first civilian, countless people turned into a mob and rushed forward,
They were unarmed, but they picked up everything around them, including rocks, garbage, and even teeth.
The king's team was scattered, and the tall body of the Iron Guard was like a sandcastle at high tide, submerged by the torrent.
The fat archbishop was dragged down, and the crowd swarmed and tore him apart! Blood and miserable howls were heard.
Tyrion shouted desperately and ordered the guards to take Joffrey and leave first.
When they finally reached a safe place, Sansa of the Stark family was missing!
Tyrion's heart froze!
If something happens to Sansa, Robb will definitely not let Jaime go, and Lannister will have no leverage at all!
He ordered the Iron Guards to search for it,
"No!" Emperor Qiao was afraid!
He could not lose the protection of the Iron Guard and refused Tyrion's request.
Tyrion almost wanted to pick up the knife and talk to this nephew.
Fortunately, the hound brought Sansa back, and they rushed back to the Red Keep.
Joffrey returned to a familiar place and remembered the "dignity" of the king again. He had never heard of a king being so "humiliated" by a pariah.
"Kill them all! Dwarf, I order you to kill them all and take your golden robe with you!"
Tyrion straightened his not tall body and looked at Joffrey in front of him angrily.
This king is a complete disaster!
Regardless of whether he is from the Baratheon family or the Lannister family, he is extremely disappointed with this man!
The Kingsguard opened the door and came in, "Your Majesty, maybe you should go to the city wall and take a look!"
When Joffrey, Cersei and others arrived at the gate of the Red Keep, they saw that not only had the riot below not been extinguished, but the entire King's Landing was full of mobs. Their numbers were getting larger and larger, and they gathered together to march towards the Red Keep.
The fort is coming,
"Kill Joffrey!"
"Kill that bastard!"
"Kill Cersei! Kill the little demon monkey!"
"There is food in the Red Fort, we are starving and they are laughing!"
The mob gathered into a sea of people, shouting slogans, and they compressed the golden robe little by little toward the direction of the Red Fort.
Joffrey couldn't help but tremble. When the surging crowd shouted that they wanted to kill him,
"Why? How dare these untouchables do this? I am the king!"
"I am the king!"
"I am their king!"
"But you just wanted to kill them all!" Tyrion couldn't help but stop his ridiculous behavior like a child.
"Do you think you are playing the king's game as a child? As long as you say something, everyone must obey without hearing?"
"You are a king only when they recognize you. Once they don't recognize you, you are a fool!"
Tyrion looked at Cersei with a mocking gaze, "Look at your idiot son! Look at the consequences he has caused!"
Cersei said stubbornly with a pale face: "He is the king!"
"Haha! Of course he is the king, and maybe tonight he will become the king's corpse! Including you!"
"You can now imagine what happened after this mob broke through the castle gates!"
"Thankfully, Myrcella was sent away today. If I were a woman, I would rather die now!" The taunts one after another almost drove Cersei crazy.
She grabbed Tyrion's shoulders and said, "You are the Hand of the King, you are a Lannister, think of a way!"
"Of course there is a way! As long as there is bread, that's enough bread! But do you have it?"
Cersei thought she was grasping a life-saving straw, "Yes! Bread, didn't you say that Linn had a way to get food? I promise you!"
"I promise you, as long as he can quell this riot, the king and I can restore the legitimacy of his name!"
"Really?" Tyrion slapped his hand off his shoulder,
Cersei and Joffrey both nodded,
"It's a pity it's too late!"
"Unless he shows up now with food, it will be too late!"
Tyrion's words stirred the bones of Cersei and Joffrey,
Joffrey lay crying in his mother's arms like a thirteen-year-old child!
…
suddenly,
A loud horn sounded,
"This is this?" Tyrion perked up and quickly climbed up the city wall to watch.
In the distance, at the end of the straight King's Road, a column of cavalry rushed over quickly,
This group of cavalry shouted four words while charging:
These four words were like a breeze blowing over the hills, blowing away the heat in King's Landing and calming the anger in the hearts of the mob.
"The food is coming!"
"On the pier outside the city!"
"King Robert's son, Lyn Baratheon has brought food!"
Tyrion was overjoyed and loudly ordered the people around him to shout:
"King Joffrey announced that there will be no accountability and everyone can receive bread!"
outside the city,
Outside the king's gate, carriages lined up to the horizon, with countless mercenaries guarding them.
Linn was sitting in one of the carriages, with a fat man sitting in front of him.
The fat man is wearing a brightly colored robe, with a round bald head and soft eyebrows. He is King's Landing's intelligence chief, Varys!
He did not appear in the procession sending Princess Myrcella, but instead appeared next to Lin En.
"Is this why you asked me to come back two days late?"
Wallis smiled, "Just right, isn't it?"
Lin En stared at the fat man in front of him, somewhat confused about the purpose of helping him.
A few days ago, after Lin En entered the royal territory, he hired carriages and mercenaries from along the road.
Every time a carriage was hired, the corresponding grain was secretly handed over to them for transportation. When the number of the fleet reached a certain number, not many people knew how much grain he had hauled.
The fat man appeared when the convoy was still three days away from King's Landing.
He found Lin En and only said one sentence, "Extend the three-day trip to five days and we can achieve our goal!"
"What exactly do you want?" Lin En was impatient to guess and didn't like the tortuousness these people made, so he asked directly.
"Balance!" Wallis looked at Linn and said in a sincere tone, "Only balance can create peace. A single family without restraints can only create madness!"
Linn shook his head, "Maybe the truth is not necessarily what you want,"
"We should get out now!"
He had already heard the footsteps of countless people outside,
The residents of King's Landing poured out of the city from the King's Gate, the Riverside Gate, the Lion's Gate and other gates, heading towards the competition ground.
In order to maintain order, Linn designated different areas in the competition ground. Wallis thought of more. He asked all the convoys carrying food to stop on the high hills, so that everyone who came could see that the food was piled high.
hill.
Then he asked layers of mercenaries holding torches to surround the carriage.
It is guaranteed that everyone who comes to receive bread or grain can receive it as long as they line up in an orderly manner, and it is provided free of charge every day until the new grain matures.
With hope, there is order,
Dozens of teams were sent to receive the goods. With the help of officials who came from the city, people queued up to receive the goods in an orderly manner. The distribution continued until the evening. When Lin En rode into the city,
People stood on both sides cheering,
"He is King Robert's child, they look exactly the same!"
"Yes! He looks just like the king when he was young!" someone in the crowd kept shouting,
If you observe carefully, you will find that these shouting people are evenly distributed, as if they are regular. Gradually, more and more people are chanting!
