In the early morning of the next day, the King's Road outside King's Landing was lined with civilians, refugees, and merchants preparing to enter the city.
Squeak, squeak!
Along with the Gate of the Gods, the noise of the two heavy city gates and iron gates opening was heard.
A group of heavily armed men in golden robes with serious expressions walked out of the city gate, divided into two lines, and blocked the entrance to the Gate of the Gods.
"There was a rebellion in the Red Keep last night. By order of Her Majesty the Queen, all people entering and leaving King's Landing must be inspected."
A man in a golden robe holding a parchment scroll stood at the gate of the city and shouted loudly.
After shouting three times in a row, he waved his hand, and the remaining golden robes stood in the center of the city gate, dividing the city gate into two, and all entrances and exits were subject to their inspection.
"Torun, you take two people to drive the last carriage and wait for us at the hotel we passed ahead."
Robb, who was standing in the middle of the queue, heard the golden robe's words conveyed by the crowd in front of him. He turned to Torrhen and said.
"Yes, leader!"
Torrhen nodded and called Robb's disguised identity very strictly.
Due to the large number of people lining up to enter the city at the Gate of the Gods, Robb and the others were quite far away.
Therefore, the three men in Tollun drove the special carriage transporting the blood wind back, and the golden robes did not see it either.
The inspection into the city was very slow. When the sun was almost at the middle, it was finally Robb's turn.
"Where did it come from?"
Several golden robes standing in the middle of the Gods Gate asked while looking at the parchment in their hands and looking at the faces of Robb and others.
"Sir, we are a small caravan coming from Flint's Finger. We received an order some time ago and pulled some wool on the carriage to be delivered to the shop in Shoemaker's Square.
You see, this is our shipping manifest."
Robb, who has a distinct northern accent, did not deliberately lie and deny that he was from the north.
He first bent down to salute, then responded to the golden robe's words with a flattering look on his face, and at the end, he took out the transportation bill that had been prepared from his arms.
"Well, there's nothing wrong with the manifest. Let me check these two carriages."
"Okay, you guys quickly open the carriage and let the adults take a look!"
Seeing that the golden robes were about to inspect their carriage, Robb immediately shouted for Eddard and others to open the carriage compartment.
"Well, there's nothing wrong with the goods."
The man in the golden robe took out his sword and rummaged through the wool in the carriage box. When he saw that there was no problem, he sheathed the sword and said hesitantly,
"But you... let me count, 1, 2,... 16 people, escorting these two carriages of wool?"
When Robb heard the golden robe's question, he immediately took out a few silver deer from his arms, quickly and discreetly, and placed them in his hand.
At the same time, he said loudly: "Sir, you may not know much about wool. These are the wool of northern zebra sheep, and the price in King's Landing is relatively expensive.
There was a war in the north some time ago, and many deserters became robbers, so I would rather make less money and hire more guards."
Jinpaozi felt the silver deer being stuffed into his hand. He quietly put it away, with a smile on his face and said: "I've heard before that there seems to be a war in the north. It's right to be careful! Okay, let's go quickly.
!”
"Thank you, sir!"
When he heard that he could pass, Robb smiled and greeted Eddard and others, and drove his carriage through the Gate of the Gods and into King's Landing.
The stench inside King's Landing was stronger than outside the city. Robb resisted the action of covering his nose, pretending to be familiar with the smell here.
Since the Shoemaker's Square is right next to the Gate of the Gods, they walked through the city gate and soon arrived at the Shoemaker's Square where people were coming and going.
After asking most of the Winterfell cavalry to go to the store according to the manifest address, Robb took Ed and the two cavalrymen and headed southwest to the Shoemaker's Square, towards the Steel Street full of blacksmith shops.
After searching for a long time according to the number plate on the note in their hand, Robb and others finally found 'Master Anji's Blacksmith Shop'.
The four of them entered the blacksmith shop and saw at a glance that the blacksmith shop was full of shirtless men, sweating and banging unformed weapons or farm tools with sparks flying around.
"I am Master Anji, may I ask, what do you need to buy?"
When a guest arrived, a short old man with gray hair came up to him with a smile on his face.
"I want to make a dagger that can be seen clearly in the dark."
Robb looked at the short old man named Angie and spoke slowly. While speaking, he emphasized the word "darkness" with emphasis.
When Anji heard this, the smile on her face remained unchanged, a strange color flashed in her eyes, and she replied: "This kind of special customization, the price is not low, how about we go into the room alone to discuss it in detail?"
"As long as it can be built, the cost is no problem!"
Robb nodded and answered, then turned to the three Eds and said,
"You guys wait for me outside, I'll go inside with the boss to talk in detail."
"Yes, leader!"
Robb followed Angie past the blacksmith's shop where the men were working, and to the room at the back where they rested.
As soon as Angie turned back and closed the door, Robb couldn't wait to ask: "I want to buy the Hand of the King, the latest information about Eddard Stark."
"This is not too valuable information, two golden dragons, thank you!"
Hearing this, Anji smiled and reported the price of the information.
Robb nodded, took out the money bag from his arms, counted two golden dragons and threw them to Anji.
"Actually, you will know in two days that last night Eddard Stark, the Hand of the King, took his own bodyguard and attempted to rebel and usurp the throne.
Lord Jaime Lannister and Lord Gregor Clegane, armed with gold cloaks and the Kingsguard, captured him and now imprison him in the dark cells of the Red Keep."
Anji put the golden dragon in his pocket and immediately spoke out Ed's message.
Robb nodded after hearing this. His father, Eddard, was just as he expected. He was unwilling to use despicable means and could not make any waves in King's Landing without any help.
However, what is different from the plot in the previous life is that due to Robb's influence, Ed did not directly identify Tyrion Lannister as the murderer of Brandon, so his hostility towards Lannister was not that great.
big.
The Vale Knights sent by Lysa Arryn, although in the name of Caitlin, forcibly took Tyrion away.
But James couldn't directly judge whether it was true or false, so he did not impulsively attack Ed, so he did not escape King's Landing and return to Casterly Rock in the West.
Even Jaime was able to restrain his impulse, and the wily Tywin did not act rashly.
Therefore, he did not send Magic Mountain to lead a team to plunder the Riverlands.
"Information about his two daughters!"
Robb continued to inquire about his two sisters.
"A golden dragon, thank you!"
After receiving another golden dragon, Angie replied: "This information is simpler. Sansa Stark was captured by hounds and taken into the Red Keep. Arya Stark, we don't know where she went.
Disappeared without a trace."
"Okay, I understand, well, I also need a detailed map of the Red Fort."
"Twenty golden dragons!"
"A map is so expensive? This thing is very simple for you, right?"
The price of the two pieces of information was good at first, but when he heard Anji asking for a price for the map, Robb, who didn't want to be taken advantage of, frowned and said.
"Hey, of course the ordinary Red Castle map won't be that expensive, but I guess what your guest wants is a detailed map of the Red Castle dungeon including the black cell, right?
This is not something that ordinary people can get, so the price matches its value.”
Anji chuckled and explained why this map was expensive.
