"Bastard Stark, how dare you challenge me in King's Landing. I will chop off all their heads and put them on the tip of a spear for public display!"
When Joffrey heard Baelish's words, he immediately thought that Robb was provoking him. He was so irritable that he immediately yelled excitedly.
"Joffrey, don't be so excited. Your Uncle James has already led troops to search. I believe it won't be long before the wolf cub falls on his knees in front of you."
Cersei on the side saw that her son was showing signs of losing his temper again, and immediately spoke out to comfort him.
"The more than two hundred Lannister soldiers alone are not enough. Baelish, please send more gold robes to assist in the search. Don't search at the Mud Gate. The people are no longer there."
Joffrey's temper came and went quickly. After being comforted by Cersei, he returned to normal and gave orders to Baelish.
"As you command, Your Majesty..."
"Two days, you must capture Robb Stark within two days."
Hearing Joffrey's order, Baelish nodded in response, but then heard his order to arrest within a limited time.
"Your Majesty, this may be a little impossible.
King's Landing has a population of nearly half a million, and there are only over 2,600 golden robes in total, including less than 3,000 Lannister soldiers.
They need to guard important areas such as the Red Fort and the seven city gates, and also conduct patrols throughout the city.
After these things happened today, the nobles outside the Red Castle asked for more golden robes to be distributed in their living areas.
Even if we mobilize golden robes from other places and try to capture Robb Stark in a short period of time, I think it’s unlikely.”
Baelish finished what he wanted to say in one breath. Seeing that Joffrey looked evil, he changed the topic and threw the pot to Varys.
"Of course, if Lord Varys's little birds can get the hiding address of Robb Stark.
Then it is absolutely possible to catch him within two days."
"Well, you are right. Varys, you must obtain Robb Stark's hiding address within two days, otherwise the intelligence chief will be replaced by someone else!"
"Your Majesty, this..."
Cersei looked at the three Joffreys in the throne room and suddenly said: "My son, I don't think it is necessary to limit the arrest time.
I believe that Lord Baelish and Lord Varys will do their best to serve you.
You said that, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen."
"right!"
Upon hearing Cersei's help in rescuing the siege, Baelish and Varys both bowed slightly towards her and responded with a salute.
"Your Majesty, there is news from the Archbishop that there will be a funeral ceremony for His Majesty Robert at noon tomorrow."
Seeing that Joffrey fell silent after hearing Cersei's words, Baelish spoke again and changed the subject.
"Well, tomorrow before the sun is almost overhead, we will set off from the Red Fort."
Joffrey heard the report, nodded and replied.
Suddenly, he remembered that Robb Stark was still peeping in the dark, so he continued: "We will strengthen the security from the Red Keep to the Great Sept of Baelor tomorrow. I don't want any accidents to happen."
"As you command, Your Majesty."
…
Boom, boom, boom!
Three consecutive knocks on the door woke Robb up in the hut on Silk Street.
He immediately stood up and took a look. A Severn City guard who was responsible for guarding was gesturing to them about the position of his waist, indicating that there was a child outside.
Robb immediately knew in his heart that this was Varys's little bird, and he immediately got up and went to greet it.
However, he very cautiously took out the dagger with his right hand and hid it behind his back, and opened the door with his left hand.
Squeak!
Robb opened the door a crack, and saw an eight or nine-year-old girl with a dirty face reaching out and handing in a note.
Since encountering the siege two days ago, Robb, who has become more and more cautious, did not reach out to take it. Instead, he turned to look at the Severn City guard beside him. The guard nodded and reached out to take the note.
After the little girl completed her task, she looked at Robb eagerly. Robb pondered for a moment, then took out a silver deer from his arms with his left hand and gave it to her.
Seeing the little girl running away happily holding the silver deer, Robb closed the door.
“Today I took my pet dog ‘Golden Lion’ to hunt around and got a stag. I plan to enjoy the stag’s feast at noon tomorrow.
I specially invite you to come to my residence in Beicheng Tower before dawn tomorrow to catch up on old times."
The Severn City guard unfolded the note and read out the contents.
After hearing the content recorded on the note, Robb easily understood the message Varys wanted to convey.
First of all, the soldiers of the Golden Robes and the Raging Lion family were searching Robb's hiding place today. Varys reminded him not to act rashly.
Then there is King Robert's funeral, which will be held at noon tomorrow.
Finally, Wallis asked him to meet at the North Gate Tower residential area outside the Red Castle before dawn tomorrow.
"Clay, start the operation as planned tonight, and take action when you hear the signal tomorrow."
Robb thought in his mind for a while and then spoke to Clay.
"As you command, Lord Robb. If your action is unsuccessful, please try to reach the retreat road. I will ensure that it is smooth."
Clay nodded when he heard this. He always thinks about the worst outcome when doing things, and emphasized the retreat path.
"Yeah. I understand. Clay, what you do really makes me feel at ease!"
Since they are acting according to our plan, let’s have a good rest today and wait for night to fall!”
…
King's Landing is in chaos today. The areas of Flea Bottom and Aegon's Hill are being thrown into chaos by thousands of golden robes and more than two hundred Lannister soldiers.
After their careful search, although they found no trace of Robb, they also found many lawless people, so it was not without success.
As night falls slowly, Silk Street, which was quiet during the day, seems to come alive, exuding its unique atmosphere of luxury and corruption.
The door of the hut where Robb and others were hiding was opened, and Clay and four others, dressed in gold robes, walked out.
Yes, the four of them are genuine gold robes, and they belong to the guard team of the south tower outside the south gate of the Red Fort.
Well, due to Clay's management, although they have this name, they don't have to be on duty.
Today is their first and last time to perform their duties.
Clay did not go directly to the south city tower. Instead, he led three guards to a mid-range technical academy and found their vice-captain, Gray.
Vice-captain Gray was in his usual private room, playing a dough-making game with two young beauties with plump upper bodies.
"You all go out, Captain Gray and I have something to discuss."
Clay, who was not shy, spoke directly to the two beauties with a serious face.
"Go out first! Beauties."
Gray looked at Clay's serious expression, patted the buttocks of the two beauties, and said.
After watching them go out, Clay turned his head and nodded to the three guards behind him. They turned around and went out, guarding the door of the private room.
"Captain Gray, I have done what I promised you. Here are fifty golden dragons."
Clay took out a bag of golden dragons from his arms, threw it to Gray, and said at the same time.
"Hey, I didn't expect it! Clem, you are actually from the Stark family.
I'm just proposing to you that I want to improve my position. You are so brave, you just start killing people.
A lot of big shots died last night!"
Clay opened the bag with a smile on his face and inspected the golden dragons one by one.
At the same time, he didn't have any time in his mouth, so he called Clay by his alias in King's Landing.
"The captain of the guard who has been oppressing you is dead. Now, wouldn't it be natural for you to become the captain?
If you can make good use of this money, you will have better luck.
Maybe, you will be the next golden robe commander! Lord Gray!"
"Hey hey hey!"
Looking at Gray who was giggling longingly, Clay then said to him: "Everything we promised has been accomplished, now it's your turn!"
