Sword and Magic and Taxi

Chapter 210: Lie at gunpoint

Everything she thought was a conspiracy. Conspiracies may arise out of ambition, greed, or love, but the most fundamental reason for conspiracy is that it is very useful. Lady Catelyn Stark was misled by the conspiracy and saw Tyrion as the villain responsible for the assassination of her children. Now that he has been recognized, the plan to secretly return to the north has failed. The little devil is famous for his ugly appearance, but he also has an intelligent mind that matches his ugliness. It wouldn't be long before he could deduce the real reason for his secret return from King's Landing. It was even possible to deduce the time period during which she was secretly operating in the capital based on the distance. Then, the Lannister family can adjust their plans based on these and expand their advantages. Whether it was out of motherhood or justice, she could not remain indifferent now. Her husband was in King's Landing, and for their safety, she wanted to hold a member of the Lannister family as a hostage, and Tyrion was the best choice.

She stood up leisurely and looked around the room, her eyes scanning the badges on the knights, sworn knights and free knights in the room. She recognized the badges and knew the masters to whom they belonged. The Riverlands is her hometown, and the current head of the family, Hofs Tully, is her father. She is the princess of this land, and she is also the eldest princess.

The last time I stayed here, I was Catelyn of the Tully family. Her voice was steady and powerful, with a power that no one could refuse. Looking around with light blue eyes, everyone's attention was attracted to her. That gentleman sitting in the corner, is that the black bat of Harrenhal embroidered on your coat?

The man stood up quickly, bowed and replied: Yes, ma'am.

My father is Hoster Tully of Riverrun. May I ask if Lady Riverside is his loyal ally?

Of course she is, the man replied firmly.

The white-bearded Ser Rodrik stood up quietly, his round body standing behind Lady Stark. Slowly and firmly he drew out his sword and stared into the dwarf's eyes. Tyrion still didn't understand what was going on, so he blinked blankly. He never imagined that he would be framed and take the blame for an assassination plot.

Caitlin was well-informed and recognized the knights in the inn one by one. These people were either his father's old subordinates or knights who served their subordinate lords. Although the Riverlands is a place of four wars, sandwiched between the north, east, and west borders and the capital King's Landing, Hoster Tully is a very powerful politician and ruler. His domestic policy and diplomatic skills are very important. All of Westeros is superior. The lords, knights and people here love him very much and are willing to serve him. Therefore, when Caitlin accurately pointed out the close relationship between their family, lords and her father, these people all agreed and were willing to serve her.

Perhaps only the Freys of the Twins were dissatisfied. Walder Frey lived long and had many children, but he was always overly cautious. In the key battle to establish the new king more than ten years ago, he deliberately delayed his arrival on the battlefield because he waited and watched. As a result, he arrived late after the winner was decided. He was ridiculed by Hofs Tully as the late Fernando. Thunder and his reputation plummeted. Frey resented this incident his whole life and showed dissatisfaction on various occasions. Caitlin was not sure whether the group of people in gray and blue clothes in the inn, that is, the knights of the Frey family, would help her. There are ten knights in this group, and they are a decisive force in this place.

I am also familiar with the twin towers symbol of the Frey family. Sirs and gentlemen, how is your master doing lately?

This group of people may not even be considered formal knights. At best, they are sworn knights, that is, knights who have sworn allegiance but have not yet received a land reward. If a formal knight is a company member who receives dividends, then an oath knight can only be regarded as a company employee who has just become a regular employee. As for the title of knight, it is purely a compliment. How can there be any jazz among these people?

However, their leader was flattered and stood up and said quickly: Madam, Lord Walder is very good. He plans to marry his new wife on his ninetieth birthday, and hopes to be lucky enough to have your father-in-law present to honor him.

Even though he was surrounded by tall knights, the short Tyrion still laughed secretly. Walder Frey claimed that one man could give birth to an army, more than a dozen sons and daughters, nearly a hundred grandchildren, and the fourth generation was also vigorously expanding. Unfortunately, it was an army of idiots and even stupider idiots.

Caitlin heard this laughter, and she also noticed that the Frey family members opposite also heard this laughter, and frowned, obviously not happy. At this time, she was sure that the situation was under control, so she pointed her finger at Tyrion and said loudly: This man came to my house as a guest and shared my bread, salt and fire, but he intended to murder me. Seven-year-old son! In the name of King Robert and all the noble lords who serve, I ask you to bring him to justice and help me send him to Winterfell to hear the King's law.

Suddenly, a dozen long swords were unsheathed, and white light flashed together. Tyrion opened his mouth slightly, and his shocked expression made her extremely happy.

Madam, I think this must be a misunderstanding. I had no intention of harming your son. I deeply sympathize with Bran's experience. Oh, by the way, I came from Winterfell, and I met the lovely Bran and was also touched by it. I received the reception from your eldest son, Luo Bo. They all look great and you deserve to be proud of them. I also gave Bran a pair of special saddles, which I have personally tested to allow him to sit high on the horse. Oh, he is so happy!

Caitlin was very excited when she heard the latest news about her child. But the news did not come from the messenger, but from the mouth of this hateful and hateful little devil! This murderer and conspirator was actually with his own child before! Have they been hurt again? This situation cannot continue!

Arrest him, knights, and I ask for your help!

Tyrion Lannister's two servants were so frightened that they fell to the ground and trembled. No one paid attention to the night watchman in black, because these men guarding the Great Wall never participated in any political events. However, all the night watchmen are very skilled, so there are still a few knights watching him in case something unexpected happens.

There were not many people still sitting on the chairs, but Zhao Mai was one of them. In line with the mentality of watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously, he was finally able to watch this wonderful scene at a close distance. It must be said that Mrs. Stark was quite persuasive. She gained enough allies in just a few words and learned everything about her father's aura and skills. Tyrion was about to use his tried and tested money trick, but his wallet was taken away by Rodrik, completely losing the chance to make a comeback.

Among the people who stood up and raised their swords was Bronn. The expression on his face was as enthusiastic as the other knights, but the motivation was different. When Zhao Mai looked over from below, Bronn curled his lips, and then quickly changed back to his serious and loyal face. Zhao Mai understood that he was interested in the name Mrs. Stark, and hoped that through this action, he could attract the attention of a real nobleman so that he could stand out.

A cloth bag was placed over Tyrion's head, and his short hands were tied up. Ser Rodrik did this with great force, the rope tightening around his skin as if the imp were a master swordsman. After finishing, he stood up and pointed at Zhao Mai: Madam, we should bring him with us.

Me? Why? Zhao Mai was stunned. I was already lying down, why did I still get shot? I had a meal without provoking anyone, how could I fall into this trap?

Yes, you serve the Lannister family. It is too dangerous to keep you here. Rodrik said, Madam, we cannot take this risk.

Hey, old man, you are causing trouble for your wife, do you know? Zhao Mai shook his head slightly and said, If I wanted to, I could fight all the way out from here, and few people would still be intact. Stand.

Oh, really? Amidst the laughter, Sir Rodrik also smiled and pulled out the sword from the scabbard, holding it steady: I don't believe it.

Zhao Mai's fingers have already touched the obsidian of the hidden bracelet, and he can pull out the hunter's blood spear at any time. But if we do that, it will have a huge impact on the world. After careful consideration, Zhao Mai felt that the risk was too high and the benefits were too small. It would not be a joke if it touched the will of the world. Okay, I'll go with you, but don't think I'm afraid of you.

Maybe they heard it too much, maybe they were just stupid, laughter rippled through the room.

The corners of Bronn's lips also raised, but he did not laugh out loud. Although I felt that what the bare-handed young man said was untrue, there was no trace of panic in his eyes. He can tell the difference between being confident and being arrogant. Besides, this young man had gold coins, but he didn't have many, so there was no need to offend him.

The group packed up their things and started preparing to go north. Zhao Mai's carriage caught everyone's attention. Rodrik suggested that Caitlin get in the carriage, which would at least make it more comfortable. If you do this, your master will really become a robber. Zhao Mai did not hesitate to ridicule: No matter what reason you give, forcing a person to go against his will is kidnapping.

You're absolutely right! Tyrion covered his head with a bag, but he echoed loudly: Mrs. Stark, are you short of travel expenses? Just take my wallet, I will only consume Food is just a burden, so just let me go.

The resolute woman replied: It is the king's law that has caught you, the justice that will be given to murderers and conspirators. We are not robbers, let alone robbers. This carriage does not belong to us, and we will not do this We would not treat the knights and knights who serve us the same way as we would treat our fellow travelers. Ser Rodrik, we must be on our way as soon as possible.

The Frey family knight in gray and blue clothes came over, bowed and said: Madam, if you go north, you will pass the Twin River City. My family will definitely entertain you warmly. All you need to do is send a messenger. Whether it's a carriage Or guards, they will all be there.

Caitlin immediately agreed and expressed her heartfelt thanks. She was so grateful that she sent all the Frey knights out to open a road north and inform their master, even bringing a warm letter with them.

After getting rid of the Frey family, they turned a corner and took the road heading east.
