Dominate the Game of Thrones with Mount and Blade

Chapter 162 Sansa's Begging for Mercy

Harrenhal, kitchen.

This is a huge building with a round roof, said to be as big as the castle hall of Winterfell. There are more than a dozen stoves distributed on the walls, and in the middle of the room is a long table filled with various raw meats and vegetables.

At this moment, dozens of old maids and servants are picking and choosing on the kitchen stove, looking for the good things left by the cooks for themselves.

Because today is the wedding day of the castle owner, Miss Stark allows the servants to enter and exit the kitchen freely and take some of their favorite food. The meals prepared for the nobles have been delivered to the vicinity of the garden, and the rest of the food will be taken care of by these people.

Sandor Clegane, wearing a brown short shirt, dark gray trousers, and soft leather boots, followed the maids, preparing to find some chicken legs to eat.

After he was rescued by Septon Meribald, he followed the old monk to build a small wooden sanctuary. Halfway through the construction, the old monk was recruited by the nobles, and then took a boat from the God's Eye Lake to Harren Town, and then to Harrenhal, and began to chant all day and pray for the weeping and bleeding souls.

Perhaps fearing that Sandor would continue to fall, Septon Meribald also brought Sandor here and asked Clegane to follow him to chant the "Seven Stars Holy Book" and various prayers.

Sandor naturally refused to chant, he just followed the old monk around, and then ate a good meal in the castle for free.

During the time he followed the old monk to build the chapel, he didn't even smell a chicken leg, and he was already greedy, so today he was going to have a big meal.

"Hey, a pot of cold brown soup, which idiot cooked this for the master?" A maid in front opened a small pot, took a look, and then covered it again.

She described this pot of soup as brown soup, but in fact the two are a world apart.

The flea pit in King's Landing is rich in a delicacy that is very popular among the poor: brown soup.

The method of making it is extremely simple. Just pour all the edible things into a pot and start cooking until the ingredients become a paste.

On a certain blue star, this kind of stew is sometimes called a broth, and in a certain mysterious place, it is called a stew.

As a Beijinger, we like this kind of soup, which is sticky and authentic.

Licking the edge of the bowl, smacking your lips, and giving a thumbs up.jpg

Let's get back to the topic.

Due to the richness and randomness of the ingredients, brown soup has become a delicacy with a very high upper limit and a very low lower limit. Sometimes, diners can even eat authentic clay pot rice.

So when the maid saw this kind of soup, she covered the pot and left.

Sandor's nose twitched, and he keenly smelled the smell of chicken coming from the pot.

He stopped and prepared to pick up the pot and finish it first.

The maid behind also wanted to see what was in the pot, and shouted: "Where did you come from, country boy? Do you know the rules? You have to let us old people in the castle see it before it's your turn to choose!"

The person who spoke was the old maid who served Mrs. Guohean. Although she was just a servant who did rough work, she felt superior in front of the strangers in the castle.

Sandor even took the pot from the stove and didn't say anything. He just turned back and glared at her, and shut up the old maid who was still yelling.

He was only half a head shorter than his brother, the Mountain, and with that burnt and terrifying face, he looked very intimidating.

The old maid was a little arrogant, but she was not a fool. She knew that she couldn't afford to offend such a person, so she shut up and walked away quietly.

Without being disturbed, Sandor took the pot to a corner of the big kitchen, then threw the lid aside, and didn't use a bowl or a spoon. He directly reached into the cold soup with his hand, grabbed a piece of meat, and sent it to his mouth.

It was indeed chicken!

As Sandor chewed, the gravy collided passionately with the taste buds on the tip of his tongue, and then entered Clegane's esophagus together with saliva and minced chicken, filling the empty stomach.

It's so delicious!

"About half a chicken, not enough to eat."

After taking another piece of meat from the pot, "Chicken Leg Destroyer" Sandor came to this conclusion.

But it doesn't matter, just finish eating these first.

In three or four minutes, he had eaten all the meat and poured all the thick soup into his mouth.

Then, Sandor snatched a castrated pig's trotter from a male servant, gnawing while scanning his prey with his eyes.

Seeing this, some people in the kitchen immediately slipped out with the food in their hands, and most of the rest stayed away from Sandor.

After finding a few more fried fish, he finally filled half of his stomach.

For the remaining half, Sandor was going to the garden to make up for the opportunity.

There was a wedding banquet for the King of River and Miss Stark.

Speaking of which, Sandor had not met Miss Stark since arriving at Harrenhal, so he decided to put on some makeup to avoid being recognized.

After beautifying his face with ash, he covered most of his facial features with his hair, and then walked to the south of the castle.

…

In the garden of Harrenhal, the King of Riverland and Queen Sansa, who had already completed the first half of the wedding process, were accepting gifts from their vassals.

Because the wedding came too suddenly and they were still fighting, the gifts from the nobles were more or less unworthy of their status.

Arthur I already had a Valyrian steel sword "Lady of the Empty" and a dragon bone Valyrian steel dagger, so the gifts from the family heads were not weapons, but mainly decorative items and books, and a small amount of daily necessities.

Among them, the gift from Lord Frey Aenys was the strangest. He gave a barrel of beer soaked in many things.

"This contains the secret of why my father married a new wife when he was over ninety years old." The bald man showed the king a smile that all men understand.

Marquis Aenys put his head close to Arthur and whispered, "If your majesty thinks the effect is good, send someone to tell me and I will have someone send the formula over."

Arthur glanced at Sansa, whose beautiful face was overflowing with happiness, and then glanced at the Dorne princess who was sulking during the banquet, and then looked at the bald Aenys and said eagerly:

"I believe in the vision of Marquis Walder. You will have someone send the formula to Podrick Payne, my taciturn servant, who never leaks secrets."

The disadvantage of having too many wives is that the body may not be able to bear it.

As the saying goes, there are only ** cattle, but no ** land, so Arthur has to make plans early.

As for the effect of this barrel of wine, the King of the River has no doubts at all.

The nobles of the Seven Kingdoms once described old Walder in one sentence: Marquis Frey gave birth to an army. This is enough to show his way of keeping in good health.

With this kind of medicinal wine, Sansa will have to kneel down and beg for mercy tonight.

After waving Lord Frey away, another nobleman presented his gift.

"Your Majesty, time is too short, so I only found two very rare books as your wedding gift."

Mattus Rowan handed the two books in his hands to the king with both hands.

"The smaller one is "Strange Stone" compiled by a maester named Sillan. It records some things about the towering tower, the Seastone Seat and Dragonstone Island, as well as Sillan's speculation about the Drowned God and the creatures of the salt sea. Although the words are a bit ornate, there are still some real materials."

After introducing the small and old book, Earl Rowan explained the big and new thick book.

"This is a new book compiled by a young scholar named Adar, called The World of Ice and Fire. He records in detail the history of our world and the geographical and cultural knowledge of most of the known world. In the appendix, there are also family trees of several great nobles and portraits and overviews of Targaryen kings of all generations. I think you will like this book."

In order to shorten the time, Matus only briefly introduced the book.

In fact, the book has 336 pages, covering the Dawn Age, the Heroic Age, the Last Days of Valyria, the Dragon King's Reign (the Conqueror's War) and the Glorious Reign (the Usurper's War), and details the peoples, cultural customs, geographical features, etc. of the Seven Kingdoms and the Sunset Kingdom.

It can be said that this book is a summary of mankind's understanding of this world.

In order to let the king remember the preciousness of the gift, Earl Rowan added: "There are only a few copies of "The Stone" circulating in the world. "The World" was compiled a few months ago. Except for the Citadel, I should have only one copy in the whole Westeros..."

Arthur hurriedly took the two books, "This is great, I am in need of such books. Your gift is the most impressive to me."

The King of Hejian also took the book with both hands to show his love.

Afterwards, many small nobles presented their gifts in turn, but not many of them made him remember.

At the end of this session, it was Coben who presented the gift.

Coincidentally, he also presented a book.

"This book is called "Notes on Death Witchcraft and Strange Stories". It is my personal experience on black magic. I will present it to your majesty."

This former bachelor, who is old but not old at heart, loves to do live experiments and has a deep study of necromancy.

Let's put it this way, if he is given a headless corpse, he can create a powerful "biochemical" warrior who does not know pain and is not afraid of life and death.

The "biochemical" warriors created by Coben are not as flexible as the ghouls, but they are obedient and can follow the orders of Coben and his designated people.

"Great, great. I love reading the most, and this kind of gift is exactly what I need."

Arthur said a few polite words on the surface, and then whispered to Coben, "When the situation settles down, I can let you use death row prisoners for live experiments."

To be honest, Arthur also wanted to figure out the similarities and differences between ghouls and biochemical warriors, so that Coben could practice his hand and maybe he could really find the internal mechanism of the "resurrection" of corpses.

The old scholar with a clean face and no beard suddenly had a light in his eyes.

"You are really a wise and wise king."

Although the academy does not allow necromancy, if the king allows it, no one will care about him outside the academy.

With this promise, the "transformation maniac" Coben left with satisfaction.

After receiving the gifts, the wedding went smoothly. Musicians, bards, circuses, etc. performed in turn. Arthur even opened a giant pie wrapped in white doves.

Of course, in order to avoid such unlucky things as dead pigeons, the King of Rivers chopped the pie with a wooden sword.

Then, Arthur entered the area where the guests were and began to toast with the noble knights present one by one.

After half of the venue, Arthur met a very special guest.

"Hey, isn't this Sandor the Chicken Leg Destroyer? I haven't seen you for a few days. You are wearing the brown robe of a monk?" He lowered his voice so that Sandor, who was bowing his head, would not be so embarrassed.

Arthur did not have much disgust for this personal guard of Joffrey.

Sandor's early evil deeds were all due to the orders of Joffrey and Cersei. When Sansa was trapped in King's Landing, if Joffrey ordered Sansa to be slapped, only Sandor refused to act and actively defended Miss Stark's face.

As for his later behavior, it was more for the purpose of surviving in the troubled times. Given the general environment, it was no wonder he did that.

"Bless you, my majesty." Sandor, who had just been engrossed in eating, calmly raised his head, said a kind word in a deep voice, and continued to eat his own chicken legs.

"Eat well, and don't disturb him." Although he didn't understand why Sandor Clegane sneaked in, Arthur ordered the people around him to do something to him.

Then King Hejian continued his behavior of clinking glasses.

Sansa, who had been paying attention to her husband, also saw the disgraced hound.

She stepped down from her high seat, moved to Sandor's side, and began to greet Clegane.

Sandor himself had an inexplicable affection for the little bird Miss Stark, so he told Sansa all his experiences.

"...After Arya left me, I was revived by an old monk. He was recruited to read the Seven Star Bible here, so I followed him."

The new queen sighed, "What happened to you is really unfortunate! So what are your plans in the future? Will you continue to follow Meribald and become a real monk? Or find a job with me and my husband?"

Sandor shook his head and said: "I can't think clearly at the moment. Maybe I can discuss it with Meribald and give you my answer."

He actually wanted to protect the little bird, but because he lost Arya, Sandor felt a little ashamed.

Sansa, who was wearing a pure gold ring crown, nodded gently and said, "When you have made up your mind, go to the main castle to find me."

After saying that, she turned around and returned to her seat, continuing to stare at her handsome husband.

After the wedding banquet was almost over, Arthur and Sansa followed the scheduled procedures and went to the town of Heron outside the city for a tour.

This has three advantages: firstly, it shows the image of the new king and queen as people-friendly; secondly, it avoids the bad habit of the wife's family having a wedding ceremony, because Sansa doesn't have many relatives in the Riverlands, and she doesn't want to be ripped off a few things. clothing;

Third, let various enemy forces believe that the River King really held a wedding to Sansa Stark at Harrenhal.

Because Sansa ordered people to prepare a large amount of fish and meat, tens of thousands of common people in Harren Town finally had a meal with meat, so the wedding of this couple received the heartfelt blessings of the common people.

In the more scientifically and neatly planned new town area, countless people crowded on both sides of the road and expressed their prayers to the new king and queen with thousands of tongues.

"May the Seven Gods bless your majesties."

"Her Majesty the Queen looks so strong, I think she can give birth to five or six children for the King."

"May you live long!"

After the inspection, it was already dusk, and the nobles returned to their rooms to rest.

Arthur and Sansa also finished washing up in time and started a shocking battle.
