Chapter 206 Dangerous Ideas
Since Samwell had sent someone to report the news in advance yesterday, when they arrived outside the castle, they saw a small team coming to greet them.
"Sam!" A girl in a crimson dress threw herself into Samwell's arms.
"Tara." Samwell hugged his sister with his backhand, feeling the wonderful connection of blood, "She has grown a lot taller, she is now a big girl."
"Brother has also grown taller and lost weight!" Tara smiled with tears in her eyes, "And he has become a great hero!"
Samwell rubbed his sister's head and laughed at himself: "It's hard to say whether we're a hero or a villain."
"He is a great hero!" Tara declared with certainty, "What you killed was a false king! Everyone knows it!"
"Everyone knows it, but not everyone admits it."
Seeing the confusion in his sister's eyes, Samwell didn't explain much and pulled her forward to introduce her to Margaery.
The two hugged each other affectionately and kissed each other on the cheek.
"Of course he's not dead." Tara looked at her brother with strange eyes, "He was just seriously injured and was following the large army back. When my mother heard about it, she was so worried that she took some people to personally
Went to pick it up."
Although the Florentine family of Brightwater is a vassal of the Tyrell family, they have never been willing to submit to it. They often openly and secretly claimed that when the Gardener King died, they, not the Tyrells, should inherit Highgarden.
Landao's eyes fluctuated for a while, and then he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to ask something but couldn't find it. He hesitated for a moment, and finally asked:
"Can you hatch a dragon with the king's blood?"
"Are you sure?"
"Gregor Clegane and Renly Baratheon."
"good!"
"No, not dead? You said Dickon is not dead?"
"It's true. But that naughty guy went hunting in the woods again. I'll show you later."
Earl Landau stared at his son, not sure whether he believed this statement.
"By the way, brother, I heard that you hatched a dragon, is it true?"
Thinking of this, Samwell was horrified, and immediately asked: "What about the armies in the rivers, valleys, and stormlands? I'm afraid the old lion won't let these potential enemies go, right?"
"You did something stupid in Tianji City."
Originally, Stannis did not have Melisandre to help him this time, and Samwell thought that Renly would definitely cause great trouble to the Lannister family, but he did not expect that this guy would receive his lunch faster than in the original book.
Samwell had to admit that it was really difficult for him to get the Tyrell family to admit him.
Samwell and Margaery came forward and saluted.
Indeed. The Westerlands and the Reach are the two most powerful and wealthy regions among the Seven Kingdoms. Once united, they can almost sweep everything.
In the original book, Renly was also the most powerful "king" in the early days of the "War of the Five Kings". At that time, he also married Margaery Tyrell, gained the support of the River Bend, and had more than 100,000 troops.
He is clearly the one who has the best chance of sitting on the Iron Throne.
"Achieved." Earl Landau gave an affirmative reply.
Samwell was so surprised that he didn't know what to say.
Samwell knew that his father was talking about him killing Joffrey.
Lord Randyll Tarly was waiting for them in the front hall.
Stannis's wife is from the Florentine family, so how could the Tyrell family be willing to help him fight for the Iron Throne?
Samwell breathed a sigh of relief. He heard the intention of helping in his father's words, and immediately asked earnestly:
"What can you do?"
But what if the king's blood could be used to hatch a dragon?
"Father, my dragon was actually hatched with Joffrey's blood."
"Are mom and dad okay?" Samwell's expression darkened, "My brother's body should have been brought back..."
"I think so too." Lord Landau nodded and agreed with his son's point of view, "But the Martell family has no excuse for this, because they killed the Mountain in public, and Renly was poisoned to death.
How does this make people in Sunspear believe in Martell's innocence?"
Earl Landau stopped talking and just stared at his son with his deep eyes.
Fortunately, Earl Landau did not get involved in this matter. Perhaps he did not know how to continue questioning.
Stannis's fiefdom, Dragonstone, is so barren that he can only muster two to three thousand troops. However, Renly's fiefdom is Stormwind, the home base of the Baratheon family, and the army he can organize is not of the same order of magnitude.
.
After all, what happened in Tianji City was a truly earth-shattering event for the Lannister family, and their messengers would definitely be on their way to tell the old lion the news as soon as possible.
Indeed, even though he was a false king, killing him in full public view would do more harm than good.
After some pleasantries, Earl Landau asked his daughter to entertain Margaery, and said to his son:
However, Earl Landau discovered another problem:
"Taking away Margaery Tyrell is also a stupid thing to do."
Samwell frowned when he heard this: "I can understand giving the 'Magic Mountain' to the Martell family. It is a great gift, but what happened to Renly?"
This time it was Samwell's turn to be dumbfounded.
Lord Randyll then told everything that happened in Sunspear City.
After a long while, Earl Landau twitched the corner of his mouth, and he didn't know whether he was smiling or not:
"Just one dragon, especially a young dragon, cannot make the Tyrell family willingly marry Margaery to you."
The two came to the small room next to them, and Earl Landau spoke in a scolding tone:
"Sent, but the Lannister messenger arrives first."
Samwell immediately retorted: "What if I can get the Tyrells to recognize this marriage?"
Samwell frowned, unable to refute.
Samwell frowned and asked, "Did Ed Stark not send a messenger to the Second Army? How come Renly wasn't prepared at all?"
However, that is only due to political considerations.
Earl Randyll said in a deep tone: "Tywin gave two people to the Martell family."
"There are indeed variables in Prince Doran's attitude." Lord Randyll nodded and acknowledged, but also reminded his son, "But don't forget who killed the Red Viper. Even if the Martell family may not really be willing to submit to Lannis
Te, I will definitely regard you as an enemy."
"Before withdrawing, the Western Army burned the food and grass in the other three territories and gave all the captured cities and fortresses to the Dornish people."
Unfortunately, this mistake was caught by Lord Tywin, who acted decisively and cruelly.
Although Renly Baratheon is the younger brother of the late King Robert, in fact, compared to his elder brother Stannis Baratheon, he poses a greater threat to Cersei's evil breed.
"You have to try to find out." Samwell didn't want to lose his timidity. "Father, are you sure of winning before every battle?"
In the original book, even though the legitimacy of Cersei's children was questioned, Duke Tywin reached the Lion Alliance with the help of "Littlefinger" Petyr Baelish, which immediately stabilized the situation in the Seven Kingdoms. Later, the situation in the Seven Kingdoms was stabilized.
If it weren't for the scene of "a loving father and a filial son", Westeros would have entered the age of lions.
"The old lion is really cruel!" Samwell sighed, but then changed the subject, "But he underestimated Prince Doran too much. The Dornish people may not be willing to become the lion's knife against the enemy."
Some doors are better not to be pushed open.
Samwell defended: "It may not be to help me, but it may also be to help Stannis Baratheon regain the Iron Throne that should belong to him. As long as the Reach turns to Stannis, then the Lannister family will not
There will be any chance."
King of Light, your internet connection is not good?
"Which two?"
"Tywin must have murdered Renly!" Although Samwell was shocked after hearing this, he immediately guessed the truth of the matter, "The old lion poured this basin of dirty water on the Martell family."
"Really?" Samwell was slightly surprised by the old lion's efficiency. He had been on the road recently and could not receive the news in time. "What conditions did the Lannister family give?"
Tara rolled her eyes at her brother and led them into the castle.
Samwell looked at him without giving an inch.
Tara's big eyes moved back and forth between her brother and Margaery, as if she was holding back something she wanted to ask, but was too polite to ask.
Samwell looked at him, secretly praying that his father would stop asking...
Samwell complained crazily in his heart, with a joyful smile on his face:
"What benefit does Stannis sitting on the Iron Throne bring to the Tyrell family?" Lord Randyll asked again, "Stannis has a wife, and it is impossible for him to marry Margaery. What's more, his wife still has
My last name is Florent."
Not only did it force the Martell family to bow to the Iron Throne in order to protect themselves, but it also eliminated the Lannister family's biggest rival.
Earl Landau did not answer immediately, but asked:
To be continued...
