Chapter 192

At night, a grand wedding carnival was being held in the Red Castle. Almost all the nobles in Junlin came to the scene to send gifts and blessings to the newlyweds.

In particular, as one of the parties to the marriage, the Tyrell family not only paid all the expenses of the whole process out of their own pocket, but also took out a dowry that made countless people jealous. It is the ownership of a fully armed army with more than 3000 people.

Of course, this army is not the lineage of Gaoting. Most of them are free riders and mercenaries captured in the battle of Heishui river. Moreover, they abandoned their former employer Stannis baratheon without much resistance. Their loyalty is also very questionable. However, after all, the army is an army, and veterans who have experienced countless wars and killings are always much better than recruits.

What's more, although the seven kingdoms have temporarily ended the war, anyone who is not a fool can feel the surging dark tide hidden under the plain surface.

Despite the secret confrontation between tiranist and Tyrell for power and profit, Stannis baratheon, who intends to make a comeback, is like a cloud over the Iron Throne.

Coupled with the ambiguous attitude of Donne in the South and the ambitious Bolton family in the north, it can be said that although the nominal reunification of the Seven Kingdoms has been restored again, it has only entered the truce period. Every family that thinks it has the power to compete for the highest power is actively preparing for the next round of war.

Due to the lack of a powerful and terrible destructive force deterrence like the tangaryan family dominating the dragon, the cost of war has been reduced a lot, and the rebellious and ambition of the nobility have been completely aroused.

At this time, whoever has more troops will have more political chips.

Looking at the eyes full of various desires in front of the table, Zhang Cheng, as the protagonist of the banquet, couldn't help sighing in a low voice: "No wonder some people say that desire is the driving force of human progress, but also the original sin that leads to their own destruction. Look at these poor guys, they don't know that when they are busy killing each other, the really terrible enemy will cross the great wall and bring cold and death to this continent..."

"What are you muttering about, my lord?" asked ello, blinking curiously in the next chair.

As another protagonist of the banquet, today she is wearing a long white dress with hollowed out patterns. Through the translucent tulle, she can even see the faint and attractive skin below.

"Oh, nothing, I'm just looking forward to the exciting moment after the party." Zhang Cheng smiled, took the girl's hand and kissed the back of each other's hand.

Ero, who had already been taught about men and women by the "Queen of thorns", immediately realized what the so-called "exciting moment" meant. A red tide quickly appeared on her face and gently bit her lower lip, showing a shy and eager look.

Just as Zhang Cheng was about to continue flirting with his new wife, Tyrion suddenly came near, raised his glass and said in a drunken tone, "Congratulations, dear friend, I wish you a happy married life. At least your wife will fulfill her obligations, and my wife will only make me lose face and become a laughing stock in other people's eyes."

"Hehe, are we friends again?" Zhang Cheng asked meaningfully.

"We've always been friends. Sorry, I apologized for my last rudeness. You're right. I've never been a member of Lannister. I wasn't, isn't and won't be. What's more ridiculous is that I expect to prove myself to my father through grades. What a stupid idea." Tyrion mocked himself with sarcasm.

There is no doubt that after another fierce quarrel and conflict, he was completely disappointed in tywin and the whole family, and his inner dissatisfaction and resentment also accumulated to the limit.

As Zhang Cheng expected, the little devil in front of him only needs an appropriate inducement to do extremely crazy things, such as killing his own father.

Although he was not sure whether this situation was the result of the careful planning of the two conspiracy masters or some kind of coincidence, in any case, tywin's death was more beneficial to him than living, so he would not easily interfere, but also add fuel to the fire.

"I'm glad you can clearly realize this. Tell me, what are you going to do next?" Zhang Cheng put on a casual look and tried.

"Me? What else can I do? Continue to hang around with the title of Chancellor of the exchequer bestowed on me by my great father. At least he hasn't deprived me of my surname, has he?" after that, the little devil raised his glass and drank it, and the whole person staggered to join the group of vulgar nobles who tampered with the maid.

Looking at his bleak back, Zhang Cheng murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "if we don't break out in silence, we will die in silence. Tyrion Lannister, I hope we won't become enemies when we meet next time. In addition, the news should almost reach King's landing..."

I haven't finished yet!

The University scholar pasier suddenly rushed in from the door and shouted out breathlessly: "No... no! Your majesty! Duke tywin! Duke mace! A raven has brought terrible information! The fleet of the iron islands launched a sudden attack on the old town at sunset yesterday. It captured most of the city in just three hours. At present, the haitar family is making final resistance to the tower and castle of yituoshen. They hope to be rescued by the Iron Throne immediately."

"What?!" Geoffrey stood up abruptly with an unbelievable expression on his face.

Not only him, but also all the nobles present had the same reaction. No one was willing to believe that the iron species were capable of conquering the old town. In particular, the Hattar family also commanded a huge fleet that was not inferior to the iron islands.

In contrast, tywin, who has excellent military literacy, is much more stable. After a moment of shock, he immediately asked in a loud voice: "how did the fleet of the iron islands pass through the shield islands? What about the fleet and army of the Hattar family? And who is in charge of the fleet of the iron islands?"

Anyone who knows the geography of Westeros knows that if you want to attack Gaoting and old towns, you must pass through the shield islands.

Like its name, the shield islands are like a shield, firmly protecting the coastline of the river bay area.

If anyone wants to attack the river area from the sea, he must destroy and occupy the shield islands.

But generally speaking, before the shield islands fall, the tiril of Gaoting and the hetar family of the old town will lead reinforcements to smash the intruder's plot.

University scholar pasier undoubtedly understood this and explained with a bitter smile: "Duke, according to the description of the letter for help, first a group of pirates from unknown origin attacked the shield islands, and the Hattar family sent a fleet to fight them. The fleet of the iron islands should sneak around at this time. In addition, the letter also mentioned that when the irons attacked, a small team of guards guarding the city gate rebelled and they fought Opening the city gate led to the instantaneous loss of two consecutive walls...
