Under the reluctant gaze of Caitlin and Robb, Ed. Duke Stark slowly disappeared to the southeast with the king's caravan.

The huge convoy drove out of Winterfell, and when it reached a fork in the road more than ten miles away, it split into two teams.

King Robert and members of the royal family, accompanied by a large number of guards, and hundreds of Duke Eddard's followers, marched south along King's Road.

And Jon, who is ready to become the night watchman. Snow, along with the little demon Tyrion who plans to travel to the Great Wall of Desperation, headed for the Black Castle in the north with the baggage for the Night's Watch legion.

In King Robert's vast convoy, three flags flew in the procession: the Crown Stag Banner, which represented the Baratheon family, the Golden Lion Banner, which represented the Lannisters, the wealthiest family in the continent, and the Icewolf Banner of the Stark family, which represented the famous force of force.

The farmers, pedestrians and caravans on both sides of the King's Road hurriedly retreated to the roadside and bowed respectfully when they saw the three famous banners.

Li Nan rode a horse and followed Duke Ed's side, and after comparing the equipment of the soldiers of the three major families in the convoy, he had to admit that the cavalry in the north was very earthy and poorly equipped.

The soldiers of the Stark family, most of whom wore chain mail, then padded jackets, and a layer of cloth armor on the outside, although the defense was not bad, but they looked bloated and ugly.

The so-called cloth armor is somewhat similar to the body armor of later generations, that is, a long strip of steel plate is sewn into the cloth clothing. The reason for the popularity of this equipment in the north is probably because it is easier to make than plate armor, it is inexpensive (you can use the leftovers of plate armor), and it also keeps you warm.

Look at the soldiers of the Baratheon and Lannisters, all dressed in all-steel armor with elaborate patterns and reliefs.

Although this will make the soldier's weight a little higher, but the protection is indeed much higher than the ugly cloth armor of the northern soldiers, except for a few parts of the armor, it will not hurt if it hits other places, and the most important thing is that it is indeed beautiful and generous, and it is much more eye-catching.

If you want to say that the most handsome and stylish knights in the team, it must be those royal guards in white cloaks.

The silver armor on the body of the Royal Forest Iron Guard is the most elegant and generous, and the scale armor on the hem is quite like the spirit in the Lord of the Rings.

Noticing the way Li Nan always stared at him, Jaime. Lannister beckoned at him.

Li Nan's accusation is to protect Ed. Stark, so he asked the Duke first, "Lord Eddard, I'll go find Jaime. The Lannisters inquire about King's Landing. ”

Duke Ed knew that Li Nan was with James. Lannister had some friendships, and immediately said without doubt: "I have been away from King's Landing for more than ten years, and I have been staying in the north, and now I don't know anything about the form of the capital, so it is better for you to learn about it." ”

With Duke Eddard's consent, Li Nan urged his horse to Jaime's side.

No Jaime with a helmet. Lannister, with dazzling blonde hair swaying in the wind, wearing exquisite and elegant silver armor, coupled with his handsome face and tall figure trained by practicing swords since childhood, I have to say that he is indeed a rare handsome guy.

"Why, interested in my armor." Jaime asked with a smile.

"Well, it's handsome, but I don't know how protective it is."

Jaime tapped on the delicately carved breastplate and said triumphantly, "The Kingsguard to protect the King is composed of seven knights, who have been chosen from a pool of countless skilled warriors. Every guard of the Kings must take an oath until death; Even if you are old, physically disabled, or have a mental breakdown, you must continue to serve, unless you are derelict in your duties, and you will serve for life. Being able to join the Kingsguard represents the highest honor for a knight! ”

Li Nan felt that something was wrong when he heard it, and hurriedly stopped him: "Hey, it's not right." What do you tell me so much? You're not going to recruit me into the Kingsguard, are you? ”

"Hahaha......" Seeing that Li Nan finally understood, James couldn't help but smile and said: "You are superb in martial arts, you are not stupid, and there is no problem with your identity and origin, you are fully qualified to enter our glorious Imperial Guard." It just so happened that two brothers died in Neck, and I think you are very suitable. ”

Li Nan said disapprenorovingly: "Stop, I've heard a long time ago, your Imperial Forest Iron Guard is similar to the night watchman, and after joining, you have to make an oath, no fiefdom, no wife, no children, only loyal to the monarch, I can't live this kind of life." ”

Jaime continued, "It's an incomparable glory......

"I'm sorry, but I'm not one to live on glory." Li Nan waved his hand and simply refused.

Seeing that Li Nan had made up his mind, James said with some regret: "I feel that you have a good temper with me, if only we could work together." ”

"I still like to live casually." Li Nan remembered that he had come to Jaime for business, and hurriedly asked in a casual tone, "By the way, you have been guarding the king all the year round, so you must know about King's Landing, right?" ”

"King's Landing is a stinking and damn place, and I don't like it at all."

Estimated James. The Lannister didn't have any friends on weekdays, and it wasn't interesting to ride a horse on the road, so he chatted with Li Nan.

Jaime said in a contemptuous tone: "At present, it is not our King Robert who manages the affairs of the Seven Kingdoms, but the Imperial Council composed of seven important ministers, and our King Robert has only attended one Imperial Council since he ascended the Iron Throne more than ten years ago, and he is usually busy hunting, drinking, and playing with women. ”

Hearing Jaime say this, Li Nan smiled disrespectfully: "No wonder there are always people who want to be kings, it seems that the life of a king is indeed relatively pleasant." ”

Glancing at King Robert not far away, Jaime continued, "The Council of Kings is generally composed of seven important ministers of the kingdom, and in the absence of the king, the hand of the king presides over it. ”

Finally getting to the point, Li Nan hurriedly asked, "What are the important ministers in King's Landing City now?" What about their temperament? ”

Jaime realized that Li Nan had asked a lot of questions, and looked at him suspiciously, "What do you know about these?" ”

"We're going to live in King's Landing, and I, a little baron, don't want to offend any powerful minister for no reason, so I want to know more."

Li Nan's explanation was completely reasonable, and Jaime nodded and said, "Well, what you said is also right, then I will tell you more carefully." ”

"The Hand of the King has been guarded by the East, Jon of the Vale Kingdom. Duke Arryn is in charge, and since he is dead, his next successor is Eddard, whom you are loyal to. Duke Stark. ”

"Well, I know that."

"When you arrive in King's Landing, watch out for two people, one is the Chancellor of the Exchequer Petyr, nicknamed 'Littlefinger'. Count Barichy, a director of intelligence known as the Octopus Spider, Wallis. ”

Hearing the names of these two people, especially one of them, who still had the allegiance of the adventurer team, Li Nan hurriedly asked curiously, "Oh? What's so special about these two? ”

"The Berish family is very weak, and they only have a small stone fiefdom on the Five Fingers Peninsula, so Petyr has the nickname 'Littlefinger'. Speaking of which, Petyr also has something to do with your Stark family, because the Baesh family is friendly with the Tully family, so Petyr has been sent to the Tully family as an adopted son since he was a child. Tully and Lysa. The Tully sisters grew up together. ”

"The sister you're talking about is Caitlyn, the wife of Duke Eddard. Tully, as well as the Hand of the previous King, Lord Jon of the Vale. Erin's widow, Lysa. In vain? ”

"That's right."

The Lannister family is rich in the world, and Jaime's sister is the queen, so he knows a lot of secret things about the big and small nobles, especially some affairs between men and women.

Jaime smirked and said, "Littlefinger was under the same roof as the beautiful sister of the Tully family, and when he grew up, he fell in love with his sister Catelyn. Stark's older brother Brandon. Stark is engaged, and Littlefinger takes it upon himself to duel Brandon. A poor little bird is going to fight a raging wolf, haha, you can imagine what a ridiculous scene it is. ”

As James spoke, a thin little finger appeared in Li Nan's head, and he followed the tall and mighty northern man Brandon. The scene of Stark's duel is presumably the rhythm of Brandon's unilateral slamming of his little finger.

"Duels are a matter of life and death, and when Littlefinger is almost killed by Brandon, Caitlyn intervenes to ask for his life and finally spares his life. Soon after, Littlefinger went back to his sister Lysa. Tully got together and had a child, but because the Berish family was too weak, the child was knocked out, and he was expelled from Riverrun by the patriarch of the Tully family. ”

This story is really full of ups and downs, and Li Nan asked curiously: "Then how did the powerless little finger become the chancellor of the exchequer?" ”

"Shortly after Littlefinger was kicked out of Riverrun, Ryza. Tully and Jon, lord of the Vale Kingdom. Erin got married, and after the marriage, Lysa convinced her husband to give Littlefinger a job as a tax collector. Littlefinger was very capable in managing money, so he rose through the ranks and eventually became the kingdom's Chancellor of the Exchequer. ”

After listening to this story, Li Nan couldn't help but be wary of this little finger, such a guy who relied on nepotism and endured humiliation to become the chancellor of the exchequer was definitely not a simple person.

Just when Li Nan thought that Littlefinger's story was finished, Jaime pointed to Ed. Stark said, "Littlefinger claims that he plucked the first night of the Tully sisters' flowers, hahaha. ”
