The eyes of everyone in the hotel lobby were attracted by the movement of Robb's fist.
"Our team leader drank too much and was a little excited when he heard the news. It's okay, it's okay!"
Seeing that Robb looked very unhappy, Ed quickly stood up and explained to the diners in the hotel lobby with a smile.
"Adam, where did you hear the news? Is it reliable?"
"That is, when His Majesty the King was young, he was a great hero in Westeros. How could he die so easily?"
"I think he drank too much!"
After Ed explained, the diners in the hotel lobby no longer focused on Robb, but began to question Adam who came in and loudly announced the information.
"I swear to the Seven Gods, this news is absolutely true.
This is coming from inside the tower, does anyone dare to send a special message to deceive the knights of the Hogg family?"
When Adam heard everyone's doubts, he raised his right hand and swore, then immediately turned to the innkeeper and told him his ultimate purpose of coming to deliver the message.
"Old Jess, do you think this new news of mine is worth a tall glass of fine ale?"
The innkeeper knew that he usually wouldn't tell false news, so he nodded, poured a large glass of sparkling ale, and put it into his hand.
"Hey! So, the king really died in the belly of the concubine? This can be regarded as a brand new history of the Seven Kingdoms!"
"You can go to King's Landing tomorrow to see the excitement. I wonder if there will be a funeral for the king and free food will be distributed to the civilians?"
"Food should not be distributed at the funeral, but for the coronation of the new king, there will definitely be a tournament and a noble banquet, so food should be distributed."
"The food of the nobles is a luxury! I once had a creamy chestnut soup, hiss, it tasted so good!"
…
The death of His Majesty the King is indeed a big event for the common people of the Seven Kingdoms. But they are more concerned about whether this incident can bring them some extra gains.
Because, being shocked by this sudden incident, Robb, who had been sorting out his thoughts, finally made a decision in his heart.
Immediately travel all night to try to get to King's Landing as soon as possible!
After making the decision, Robb took action immediately. Without even returning the silver deer to the innkeeper, he led everyone on their horses and drove the carriage in a hurry.
In the thick darkness, Robb and his party drove forward with torches prepared in advance.
Fortunately, the closer you get to King's Landing, the starting point of the King's Road, the smoother and easier the road becomes.
In this repetitive process of rushing, resting, and rushing, they soon arrived at the Gate of the Gods in King's Landing City.
The Gate of the Gods is located at the northwest corner of the King's Landing city wall. Both the iron gate and the facade of this city gate are carved with extremely detailed carvings of the gods. Those carved eyes seem to follow you and look at you.
The King's Road in the north leads to King's Landing through the Gate of the Gods.
Sir Rodrik had previously made a special detour to the old city gate for the sake of concealment, but as soon as he entered the city, he kept an eye on his little finger and had already sent a golden robe waiting for him.
Since Robb and the others had been on their way since dinner yesterday, it was still some time before dawn.
But at this time, around the Gods Gate, there were already many civilians, refugees, and caravan merchants queuing up to rest, waiting to enter the city at dawn.
Seeing that there were so many people queuing here, Robb, who was already anxious, ordered the Winterfell cavalry to wait in line here, and then he took Eddard directly to the south.
He wanted to see if he could find a way to enter the low and weak mud gate (Linhe Gate) that Tyrion defended in his previous life.
If possible, the rescue plan in his mind can be re-planned.
There was no carriage to slow down their progress, so Robb and his horse galloped faster and soon arrived at the Mud Gate in the south of King's Landing.
This city gate is only 40 to 50 meters along the coast and leads to the Rose Avenue and King's Avenue in the south.
When Robb and the others arrived at the city gate, the crowd waiting here was only much larger than that at the Gate of the Gods.
Just as he was frowning and thinking about how to enter King's Landing as quickly as possible, the mud door was opened in advance.
"Get out of here, everyone in front of you, get out of here! Get out of the way for the adults!"
Behind the opened mud door, a cavalry team also carrying torches appeared.
A cavalryman riding in front of the road, holding a long sword, shouted loudly at the people lining up on the road.
Robb looked at this cavalryman wearing the armor of the crowned stag, his mind was racing with thoughts, but his hands were not slow, and he directly called Eddard to drive the horse to the side of the road.
The crowd in the queue dared not talk to the noble cavalry for fear of getting into trouble if they were not careful.
The crowds of people queuing up on the King's Road suddenly separated to the left and right like waves, vacating the road very quickly.
Da da da!
As the cavalry team of more than fifty people approached quickly, two young and handsome knights among them particularly attracted attention.
A tall, handsome young knight with short black hair, wearing armor with a stag's crown and family crest, looked anxious.
The other knight is slender, has long and flowing brown hair, and is as handsome as a woman.
Wearing armor engraved with countless flower emblems and a cloak woven from flowers over his shoulders, he was constantly comforting the black-haired knight.
Lord Chancellor of King's Landing, Renly Baratheon, Highgarden's 'Knight of the Flowers', Loras Tyrell!
Robb recognized these two very recognizable celebrities at a glance. When he saw the cavalryman wearing the crowned stag armor just now, he had some bad guesses in his mind.
When he saw the two of them fleeing King's Landing in a hurry, Robb was very sure.
Father, something must have happened to Eddard Stark!
Renly and the other two did not stop, but rode directly in front of Robb. Not to mention that Robb was disguised, even if he had not disguised himself and stood in front of them, they would not have recognized him.
However, judging from his appearance alone, if they had other free time, these two people would definitely be sexually interested in him.
Robb, who had already concluded that something had happened to his father and that the overall situation in King's Landing was decided, was not as anxious to enter King's Landing as before.
He was very shocked by the news that King Robert died prematurely in the belly of a wizard, and he was afraid that his father Eddard would also encounter unexpected changes.
Now that he saw the two Renlys who had escaped, he knew that Eddard was alone and helpless in King's Landing and would be unable to cause any trouble and would eventually be imprisoned in a dungeon.
As for Sansa and Arya, no matter whether they are captured by Cersei like in the original show, at least their lives are safe for the time being.
Thinking that their lives were not in danger for the time being, Robb felt relieved.
After Renly and his party left, the golden robes guarding the city closed the mud door tightly again, not letting anyone in.
Robb looked carefully at the city gates and walls here, and then he and Edd rode back to the Gate of the Gods in the north.
