"What? Sansa is missing? The guards downstairs didn't see her leave Maegor's Tower?"
Hearing the hounds coming to report in a hurry, Joffrey, who was riding a white horse and was about to set off, frowned and asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Jo, have the guards watch the entrance to Maegor's Tower closely. Sansa can't escape.
Now, nobles of all sizes are waiting for your father's funeral and cannot be delayed."
Cersei, who was sitting in a sedan next to Joffrey, thought for a moment and suggested to him.
"Well, let's do it!
Since my fiancée wants to play hide-and-seek, dog, you stay and find her for me.
When I come back, I will play with her."
Joffrey had a wicked smile on his lips, gave instructions to the hound, then turned around and ordered,
"Set off!"
At his order, the vast traveling procession began to march out from the inner gate of the Red Fort.
Varys, who was in the traveling team, looked solemn. He had already guessed that Sansa's disappearance must have something to do with Robb.
Baelish, on the other hand, looked back at Maegor's Tower thoughtfully, then rode his horse to follow the team forward.
In Maegor's Tower, in addition to the royal palace, there is also a spacious and bright ballroom.
The ballroom is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people. There is a corridor above the ballroom, and the walls of the corridor are lined with huge arched windows.
At the same time, many polished silver mirrors are installed on the wall below, so that the sunlight outside the castle can be refracted to the entire ballroom through the arched windows.
There are many gorgeous carvings on the walls and pilasters of the ballroom, including figures, dragons, stags, etc.
Behind a pilaster carved with a crowned stag, Robb had been hiding behind Sansa for a long time.
Due to the large-scale manhunt in King's Landing, the king's funeral was strengthened. The garrison strength in the Red Keep can be said to have dropped to an all-time low.
When it was first built, Maegor's Tower was positioned as a square fortress. It was not only wide in area, but also had many corners where people could hide.
Therefore, even though the hunting dogs were leading a team of gold-robed guards, and they dispersed to search, they still did not find the dance hall for a while.
Robb looked up at the sun hanging high in the middle of the sky outside the arched window, and murmured: "It's time!"
"Brother, when is the time?"
Sansa, who was very close, heard the whisper and asked.
Robb did not answer, but smiled and pointed to his ears, signaling Sansa to listen.
As early as during the War of the Dreadfort, Bloodwind could track the Bolton family's scout cavalry, and then convey general information to Robb from a long distance.
And as Xue Feng continues to grow, the scope of their close connection is expanding.
While answering to Sansa, Robb expressed his thoughts to his loyal companions outside King's Landing who were closely connected with him.
Roar! Blood Wind!
…
Outside the Gate of the Gods, three or four kilometers away from the gate, there is an ordinary small hotel.
At this moment, this small inn was anything but ordinary, because it was quietly surrounded by seventy or eighty Lannister soldiers.
Torrhen and the two Winterfell cavalry had already been controlled by the Lannister. The three of them had their hands tied tightly with ropes and hung in the inn warehouse.
Clang, clang, clang!
In the yard behind the small hotel, there was a special carriage that was much larger than an ordinary carriage. Its sealed cargo compartment began to shake from side to side, and there was a sound of metal collisions.
On the tiled roof of the hotel bungalow, there are a row of archers lying on the left and right, holding crossbows in their hands.
When they heard the strange noise of the specially-made carriage, they each looked at each other nervously and aimed their crossbows at the carriage compartment.
Clang, clang, clang!
Crunch! Crunch!
The shaking of the special carriage became more and more severe, and at the same time, the crashing sounds became more and more frequent.
Bang!
Finally, the carriage cargo box could no longer hold up and was knocked apart from the inside out. All kinds of pieces of iron sheets and wooden boards fell to the ground.
Under the rays of the midday sun, a giant armored wolf, its whole body shining with dazzling metallic light, appeared on the carriage without the protection of the cargo compartment.
The full-body armor of this armored giant wolf is composed of thick block metal plates, which are connected by rivets. There are no patterns on the armor, which looks a little rough, but it also has a more primitive sense of power.
Except for the eyes, the long and narrow wolf mouth, the limbs, and the exposed tail, the giant wolf's entire body is protected by armor.
He was trapped in a dark and sealed carriage with only a feeding opening for nearly half a month.
Xue Feng, who was finally able to stretch his body and move freely, was filled with excitement and excitement. However, Xue Feng, who was excited and excited, did not forget the instructions given to him by Robb.
It stepped on the front of the carriage with its two front feet, took a deep breath of air, tightened its abdomen, and then raised its head to the sky and let out a long wolf howl that could shake the entire city of King's Landing.
Ouch!!!
This extremely penetrating wolf howl spread rapidly through the air, and in an instant, everyone in King's Landing, as long as they were not deaf, could hear it.
…
King's Landing, in front of the Great Sept of Baelor,
The entire church is decorated with black crowned stag flags and corresponding decorations.
The Archbishop stood on the stone steps in front of the Great Cathedral. The dignitaries and dignitaries in King's Landing stood on the left and right of the dozens of steps according to their status. The middle position was vacant for Joffrey and others.
Cersei wore a long dress as bright as blood today, and was decorated with gorgeous jewelry.
Judging from her expression, it was more like attending a wedding banquet than attending her husband's funeral.
Joffrey was dressed in a decent black noble dress, with a black cloak of a crowned stag on the back, and held a golden lion sword at his waist.
Not to mention anything else, this appearance made the ladies present who were distinguished by nobles all have their eyes shining and they were talking about him quietly.
Joffrey stepped up the stone steps, followed closely by Cersei, Baelish, Varys, Pycelle and other ministers. Barristan, Jaime, Merlin Tran and other Kingsguards protected him.
Ouch!
When the bloody wind and wolf roar reached here, at this moment, everyone seemed to have been cast a restraining spell, all movements stopped, and they all fell into silence.
"Ah! How scary!"
"What is this sound? A monster?"
"It sounds like a wolf howling!"
"Impossible, what kind of wolf can howl so loudly, a wolf with dragon blood?"
When the dignitaries on the stairs reacted, discussions suddenly started one after another, like a noisy vegetable market.
"Uncle James, what is that?"
Joffrey, who was so frightened that his legs were weak, asked James who stood up with a pale face.
James turned his head towards the direction of the Gate of the Gods where the sound came from, and said with certainty: "This is Robb Stark's direwolf."
"Can all direwolves make this sound? Or is it just Robb Stark's?"
Cersei frowned and asked James.
James shook his head and replied with a thoughtful look on his face: "I don't know, but to be able to make such a cry, he must be an unusual wolf. If I guessed correctly, there must be something wrong with the hotel.
The spy once told me that although the direwolf was large, it could be killed. During the Dreadfort War, it was seriously injured when it was shot by ordinary bows and arrows.
If the crossbowmen I arranged cannot do anything to this direwolf..."
After thinking for a moment, Jaime immediately turned to Cersei and said: "You continue to conduct the funeral ceremony in the Cathedral of Baelor. I will bring people to help."
Cersei nodded, pulled Joffrey, who still looked panicked, and stepped onto the stairs. Except for Jaime, the other Kingsguard followed closely behind.
"You guys, follow me!"
James called three teams of golden robes and walked towards the street on the left side of the Cathedral of Baelor.
"Lord James, that is the direction of the Alchemist Guild."
A captain in gold robes following James saw that he was going in the wrong direction and warned him.
"Shut up, you just need to follow me!"
…
Steel Street, Anji Blacksmith Shop.
Gendry, who was wearing a leather waistcoat, was swinging the hammer with all his strength, hitting the red-hot iron in his hand and causing sparks to fly.
Ouch!
A wolf howl shook King's Landing. Gendry was stunned for a moment, then dropped the things in his hands with excitement on his face.
He turned around and picked up a refined horn helmet and a long-armed hammer on the table, and said to himself excitedly:
