Chapter 274: Powerful Chief Swordsman

The next day, Li Nan saw Duke Ed walking out of the bedroom on crutches, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "My lord, where are you going?" ”

"The child is innocent, so I'm going to have a showdown with Queen Cersei and remind her to leave with the child, or they won't be able to escape Robert's wrath. X”

"My lord, it's really inappropriate to provoke a lioness who guards her cubs, so it's better for you to see the king first, and then plead with them afterwards."

Duke Ed shook his head and objected: "I understand Robert's character, if he knows about this, none of the three children will survive, I don't want to get the blood of the children on my hands, you can step down, you don't have to go with me." ”

Looking at the limping Duke heading to the palace where the queen was, Li Nan couldn't do anything but sigh.

Shortly after Duke Eddard met Queen Cersei in the form of a victor, a surprising revelation came in the evening that King Robert had been seriously injured by a wild boar while hunting in the royal forest.

When Duke Ed hurried to the king's bedchamber, his good friend, good brother, and former Lord of the Seven Kingdoms had left this world.

Grabbing Sir Barristan as the captain of the Kingsguard, Duke Ed angrily asked, "How could Robert have died at the hands of a wild boar when he was known for his martial prowess and with you by his side?" ”

Sir Barristan, the captain of the Kingsguard, bowed his head with a look of shame and said, "His Majesty drank a lot of wine before hunting, and ordered me to wait until I left, which is why I missed the hunt for wild boars. ”

Thinking of his several heated arguments with Robert, Ed knew that Barristan was right, and that perhaps no one in the world could change Robert.

"This is the last will that Your Majesty has left you." Sir Barristan took out a bloodstained sealed letter from his bosom and handed it to Duke Eddard.

Duke Ed unfolded this decree, and after reading it, he hurriedly left the palace without saying a word.

Duke Eddard, who returned to the Prime Minister's Tower, thought for a moment and wrote a letter to Li Nan, "Find a reliable person and send this letter to Dragonstone Island, and give it to Stannis, the Minister of the Sea and the king's second brother. In the hands of Duke Baratheon. ”

"Your Excellency, do you want Stannis to succeed you?"

"Several of Robert's children were James. The illegitimate son of Lannister and his sister, Stannis is the first in line to the throne, and the throne is rightfully his, so we have no choice. ”

Li Nan was about to speak, Duke Ed waved his hand and said, "I know you warned me before, but King Robert died in a hunting accident, this is just a coincidence, when I hand over the throne to Stannis, we will leave here immediately, you can send the letter first." ”

Li Nan, who was ordered to walk out of the study, found a guard from the north, and after a few words of advice, asked him to set off immediately and go to Dragonstone Island to deliver the letter.

At this time, one of the palace attendants walked into the Prime Minister's Tower, and when he saw Duke Eddard, he spoke, "Prince Joffrey and Queen Cersei, invite you to the throne room to watch the ceremony. ”

"Watching the ceremony? What kind of ceremony? Duke Ed asked, confused.

"With the death of His Majesty King Robert, Prince Joffrey will naturally succeed him, and the throne room is preparing for the coronation of the new king."

"How can it be!" Duke Ed picked up the copy of King Robert's will on the table and said to Li Nan: "You stay here, and I will go to the throne hall to deal with this matter." ”

So far, Li Nan can only say: "My lord, you must be careful!" ”

Duke Ed said confidently: "Don't worry, I have the king's decree, and thousands of city defense garrisons, and besides, there are loyal people in the court, who will definitely be able to stop this farce between Cersei and Joffrey." ”

More than an hour later, Hattori Hanzo appeared in front of Li Nan and said a little nervously: "Master, there are a large number of city defense troops and royal guards surrounding the Prime Minister's Tower!" ”

Li Nan smiled bitterly: "It seems that Duke Ed neither controls the garrison, nor does he have the loyal people he imagined in the court. You go save Sansa, I'll go find Arya, and we'll meet in the underground secret passages! ”

Arya, a little girl, doesn't like red makeup and arms, so in order to fulfill his youngest daughter's wishes, Duke Ed specially hired Braavos's chief swordsman to teach her the Water Dance stabbing technique that is suitable for girls to practice.

When Li Nan came to the hall on the top floor, the two people, one big and one small, were practicing swordsmanship.

Li Nan, who was standing at the door, said urgently: "Arya, come with me, the queen has sent someone to kill you." ”

The little girl shook her head and said, "No way, my father is the hand of the king!" ”

Hearing the sound of armor colliding downstairs, Li Nan hurriedly came to Arya's side and said, "King Robert has passed away, and your father is probably unable to protect himself now, hurry up and follow me, we don't have time." ”

Seeing a large number of golden robes pouring in outside the window, the Bravers man in charge of teaching swordsmanship also persuaded: "Arya, something is indeed wrong, you listen to him, hurry up." ”

"Let's go? Where are you going? ”

After a few minutes of delay, a group of people rushed to the room on the top floor, led by a tall, sturdy Kingguard in silver armor, flanked by Xerxes and his two followers, as well as seven or eight Lannister soldiers and dozens of garrisons in golden robes.

Looking at this Imperial Guard, Li Nan said coldly: "Sir Marin, you are a dignified Imperial Guard who didn't protect the king, but came here to arrest the defenseless little girl? ”

Sir Marlin said coldly: "The queen and King Joffrey have a will, and they must catch the two girls of the Stark family!" ”

Xerxes saw that Li Nan was alone, and was afraid that he would kill these natives, so he hurriedly said to the imperial guard Marin: "My lord, this person has a grudge against me, you can rest on the side, let us solve him." ”

Sir Marin pinched the money bag in his hand, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Fight quickly, the queen and His majesty the king are still waiting for me to return to my life." ”

Xerxes drew his broadsword, and his two followers, a man and a woman, also took out their weapons and rushed forward, and the three of them were ready to finish off Li Nan as quickly as possible.

Li Nan held the sword in his right hand, pulled out the dagger in his left hand, and was about to fight for his life with the three people who rushed up, when suddenly a black light flashed in front of everyone's eyes.

Leonidas, the king of Sparta, and Artemisia, the beautiful commander of the Persian navy, staggered back while clutching their chests.

Everyone looked at it, and it turned out that the person who shot was the chief swordsman of Braavers who no one cared about, and he used the black blunt-headed wooden sword in his hand to quickly poke the chests of the two of them, it is conceivable that if the real sword in his hand is in his hand, then these two people are already dead.

The little man said disdainfully, "Are you guys humans or snakes?" I actually came to bully a little girl. ”

A Lannister soldier scolded: "Foreign miscellaneous dogs, shut up and get out of the way!" ”

Before he could finish his words, he saw a strange shadow flash, and all his teeth were knocked out.

The chief swordsman of Braavos, with a wooden sword in his hand, said to Li Nan, "You quickly take Arya out of here, and I will deal with them." ”

At this time, this is not the time to be hypocritical, Li Nan picked up Arya, nodded at him and said, "Thank you." ”

Sir Marlin, the Iron Guard of the Royal Forest, saw that the arrest was not going well, and hurriedly said to everyone: "All of them are up, take down the little wolf girl, and the queen will be rewarded!" ”

Xerxes and the others are very depressed now, this chief swordsman of Braavus with a wooden sword, although he does not kill, as long as they get close to Li Nan and Arya, they will be poked by lightning.

Without the three members of the King of Kings clan to stop him, Li Nan rushed to the door with Arya on his back, and dozens of golden robes and seven or eight Lannister soldiers hurriedly blocked the door.

These miscellaneous soldiers may be able to bully the thieves and robbers in King's Landing, but in the face of Li Nan, who is on the run, it is a dead end.

Arya, who was holding Li Nan's neck to death, saw the blood flying in front of her, and Li Nan used the fighting skills of the gladiatorial arena with the bow left and right, and used the fastest and easiest way to cut their throats with swords and daggers, killing a real blood path.

Dozens of miscellaneous soldiers fell in a pool of blood, but a tall figure in silver armor stood in front of Li Nan, who was the master in charge of protecting the king, one of the seven royal guards, Marin.
