Chapter 220 The Lion of King's Landing
Boom boom boom!
When the hasty knock on the door sounded, "Little Devil" Tyrion Lannister was tasting the aroma of wine on Shae's lips.
"Someone is looking for you, my lion." Shae smiled.
"Leave them alone!" Tyrion felt her firm but small double **** pressed against his chest, and he couldn't put anything else in his mind.
Shae smiled lightly and pushed the man away: "Go and open the door, my Lannister giant. Maybe it's something important."
"In King's Landing, the most important thing is 'important things'. I will be bored to death sooner or later!" Tyrion complained, but he still put on a dress, and opened the door with two twisted short legs.
Outside the door is the mercenary Bronn.
However, since coming to King's Landing with Tyrion, this mercenary has taken a mixed position in the capital's garrison, and is now Bronn, the gold-cloaked guard.
"What is it?" Tyrion asked angrily.
"Her Majesty the Empress Dowager is back and is convening an imperial meeting, and I request you to attend."
"My sister is back?" Tyrion looked upset, "but what right does she have to call the imperial meeting? She is no longer the regent."
Indeed, the current regency has been handed over to the new king—Duke Tywin Lannister.
Bronn shrugged: "I don't understand this, anyway, your sister is looking for you, whether you want to go or not."
Even if he put on the golden robe, Bronn still couldn't get rid of his unruly mercenary temperament. Only Tyrion, a strange master, could endure such a strange subordinate.
Tyrion really didn't want to talk to Cersei, but he didn't dare not go.
Once Cersei goes crazy, I don't know what will happen.
And he now has a handle—that's Shae in the house.
Shae is a daughter-in-law, and Duke Tywin hates daughter-in-law the most, not to mention that he actually brought the daughter-in-law into the Red Castle.
Father will find out about this, and I'm afraid it will repeat what happened to Tessa back then.
Tessa is a farmer's daughter and Tyrion's ex-wife, but after being discovered by Duke Tywin, he told Tyrion that this woman was actually specially found by his brother James to let him experience the relationship between men and women female branch daughter.
Then, Duke Tywin ordered the family guards to **** Tessa, and paid her a silver deer for every guard he did. Duke Tywin also asked Tyrion to be the last one, and gave Tessa a golden dragon. After all, Lannister is worth a lot.
After that, Tyrion never dared to let his father know that he was looking for a woman.
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll change." Tyrion returned to the room.
While changing into decent clothes, he said to the woman on the bed:
"Tomorrow I will arrange a place for you outside the Red Castle. Don't worry, I will visit you as soon as I have time."
Xue Yi suddenly sat up from the bed, the quilt slipped off, revealing a large piece of beauty on her chest, but her tone was not beautiful:
"What do you mean? Are you going to abandon me?"
"That was not what I meant…"
"I thought you were different from others!" Xue Yi burst into tears, "So I was wrong. You are nothing special, you just want to run away after you finish your work!"
"That's really not the case." Tyrion hurriedly stepped forward to appease the woman, "I can't let father know of your existence..."
"Yes, because I'm just a female branch girl!"
"That's not it." Tyrion tried to explain, "Give me a moment, please? I won't abandon you, I swear."
After finally coaxing the woman, Tyrion went out to Maegor's Tower.
Bronn followed behind, reminding softly:
"That's just a girl."
"I know." Tyrion shrugged, "but who but a damsel would spread her legs for a dwarf like me."
That’s what he said, but Tyrion was already scolding himself in his heart—
What she loves is your money and your status. Be sober, how can a girl have love?
"Help me find a house outside the Red Keep." Tyrion said to Bronn after all. He knew that he shouldn't be emotional with such a woman, but he couldn't control himself: "Remember to stay closer to the Red Castle."
"OK."
All the way to the chamber, Tyrion saw his sister Cersei, and two cabinet ministers—
Intelligence Chief "Octospider" Varys and the new Grand Maester Gormon.
The new bachelor is a member of the Tyrell family. Although he will give up his secular surname after becoming a bachelor, anyone who really believes that these bachelors have completely cut off their ties with their family is the biggest fool in the world.
The Grand Maester is appointed and dismissed by the Cardinal of Xuecheng, and no one else has the right to intervene, but the Cardinal of Xuecheng sent such a person to King's Landing to replace the dead Pycelle. Tyrion could hardly believe that they had ulterior motives.
Rose can't wait already?
"Why are you so slow!" Cersei looked at her younger brother with those beautiful green eyes.
"My good sister, don't you know that dwarfs have short legs, so they can't walk fast." Tyrion climbed up to his seat unsteadily, "Where's uncle? Why didn't he come?"
"You mean Uncle Kevan?" Cersei frowned, "Why call him? He's not a cabinet minister."
"Father is not here, I am in charge of King's Landing!" Cersei cried.
Tyrion rolled his eyes secretly, but said nothing.
After all, there are outsiders present, and Tyrion doesn't want to quarrel with his sister. This will expose the internal conflicts of the Lannister family... But thinking about it carefully, it seems that it has almost been exposed.
Brother's silence made Cersei proud. She raised her chin and asked:
"How many people in the Seven Kingdoms support that false king, Stannis Baratheon?"
Tyrion snapped his fingers and said: "Ed Stark in the North and his vassals are undoubtedly the most resolute in supporting Stannis, and Duke Hoster Tully of the Riverland has also expressed his support... "
"Isn't that old smelly fish dead yet!" Cersei gritted her teeth.
"It is said that they are dying." Tyrion shrugged and continued, "The young duke in the valley has not expressed his opinion, but I guess, they will be attracted by Ed Stark sooner or later. Stormland is now It's very chaotic, especially after my father appointed a Duke of Storm's End. There are all kinds of voices, but in name, they support us. The Duke of Metz in the Reach hasn't made a clear statement..."
"The inflatable fish supports us." Cersei said firmly, "James has followed him to Highgarden, and he promised to tie that damned Caesar to King's Landing!"
"That would be the best. With the support of the Riverbend, we have won 80%." Tyrion whistled briskly, "As for Dorne, Prince Doran has made a covenant with his father, so they are also standing On our side, however, Sunspear urges us to send Princess Myrcella Baratheon there as soon as possible."
"No!" Cersei flatly refused, "My daughter will not marry into that ghostly place!"
Tyrion's eyes widened: "My good sister, but this is part of the agreement, you can't..."
"If I say no, I won't do it!" Cersei leaned forward, as if she wanted to beat her younger brother, "Let Doran change one condition."
Tyrion decided not to quarrel with her, and when his father came back, he would naturally make the lioness submit.
"So now our main enemy is the wolf in the north?" Cersei concluded.
"You can say that. But don't forget the fish in the river and the eagle in the valley." Tyrion kindly reminded.
"Aren't the army of fish and eagle trapped in Dorne? What are you afraid of?"
Then you still have to offend the Dornishmen! Tyrion cursed to himself.
"The rivers and valleys can still gather a lot of troops, so don't be careless." Tyrion said, "Now Eddard Stark is gathering troops in the Trident River valley, I guess he should be able to gather about 50,000 to 60,000 troops of troops."
"Trident River?" Cersei finally began to panic. "Isn't that very close to King's Landing? Where's our army? Where's Father? Where is he now?"
"At Harrenhal."
"Why go to Harrenhal? Why don't you go back to King's Landing?"
"My good sister, it is wise for my father to garrison Harrenhal. There is the only way for the northern army to go south, and the two cities form horns..."
"What **** horns!" Cersei was furious, "What if the rebels cross Harrenhal and attack King's Landing?"
"Then they're killing themselves." Tyrion tried to use simple metaphors to make his sister understand, "You see, if the rebels came to attack King's Landing, the walls of King's Landing would be the chopping block, and Father's army at Harrenhal would be the hammer— boom!"
Tyrion made a fist with one hand and smashed it on the palm of the other: "The rebels will be smashed to pieces."
Cersei finally understood this time.
But she still persisted and shouted: "Then father should put the main army in King's Landing!"
"The walls of King's Landing are stronger." Tyrion was a little speechless, "And I just assumed that Eddard Stark would attack Harrenhal first if he had a brain..."
"But King's Landing is more important! Why not let Harrenhal be the chopping block." Cersei always has a weird logic.
Tyrion just felt extremely tired: "Then write a letter yourself and ask your father if he would like to come to King's Landing."
"Okay!" Cersei seemed a little guilty, so she added, "I will let the king give the order."
Is there anyone who cheats your son like you? Tyrion decided not to dwell on the matter.
How could Duke Tywin be recalled by an order of a nine-year-old king.
"That's right." Cersei suddenly came up with a brilliant idea, "Are Ed Stark's two daughters in King's Landing? We can hold them hostage and force the North to retreat!"
"Those two little wolves are long gone."
"What is missing?"
"Maybe he escaped."
"Escaped? Why can't you even look down on the two little girls!" Cersei was furious again.
"I'm the Minister of Finance, not a nanny! I don't have time to look at two little girls all day long!" Tyrion cried, and then looked at Varys, the chief intelligence officer who had been silent, with deep eyes, and said, "Even Varys Nobody knows where they went."
Varys's fat face is full of innocence: "Before the incident happened in the sky and the city, the two ladies of the Stark family disappeared. At that time, I didn't know how to keep an eye on them."
"It is estimated that Eddard Stark has already prepared! Damn wolf!" Cersei gritted her teeth.
Tyrion looked at Varys suspiciously, and said:
"Your little birds know exactly how many times I went to the latrine, but they don't know where those two little wolves went. Who are they lying to?"
Varys was even more aggrieved, and his fat hands were twisted together: "Lord Tyrion, you really wronged me. I really don't know where those two girls went. I think Her Majesty is right, The Stark family must have been prepared. If the Hand of the King wants to sneak away two people in the city of King's Landing, there is nothing I can do about it."
"Okay." Cersei decided to forgive Varys when she heard the first words. "It's not a big deal. The two little girls of the Stark family ran away, as long as the father led the army back In King's Landing, we're not afraid of the wolf at all."
Tyrion suddenly felt that it might not be a bad thing for his father to return to King's Landing.
At least he can control this demon sister.
