The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

In the night, the evening breeze is blowing by the green fork river.

It belongs to the land of the river, and the lord is Duke Horst Tully, the father of Caitlin Tully, the wife of Ed Stark.

On the upper reaches of the Green Fork River, where the water is the strongest and wide, there are three castles connected by wide bridges across the river. There is a castle on each bank of the river and a castle in the middle of the river. This is the famous Twin River City. In the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Green Fork River, there is only one ferry: Twin River City Ferry.

Twin River City is owned by the Frey family. The current patriarch is Marquis Varde Frey. He has married many wives and gave birth to hundreds of children. He made a fortune by collecting river fees.

Duke Tully has always believed that Marquis Varde is the only man who can give birth to an army by himself.

The Green Fork River is parallel to Kings Avenue, and finally the Green Fork River merges into the Trident River.

There is the Blue Fork River to the west of the Green Fork River, and the Red Fork River further away. The three rivers flow into the sea in the east, and finally merge together. This is the famous Trident River.

At that time, the army of Robert and Ed was on the upper reaches of the Trident River and the lower reaches of the Green Fork River. They fought with Rega Targaryen’s army, thus establishing the country. The gods handed over the rule of the Seven Kingdoms to the victor. In the hands of-Robert Baratheon.

Today, almost in the same place as the war, Robert and Ed, the brothers who fought side by side, are now the king and the prime minister invited by the king not far away, with a large group of courtiers and knights. , The guards and his family were surrounded by the bonfire, and countless torches were burning around, illuminating the night brightly.

There is a roaring stove at the feet of Robert and Ed, a waiter who pours wine by their side, and a long counter table in front of them, filled with various game meats, cheese, desserts, and colorful fruits.

Walking from Winterfell City to the upper reaches of the Trident River, it was a hard journey, and it took twelve days to pass through the **** swampy neck area—the place outside the northern border.

And after entering Ed’s father-in-law’s territory, the Riverland, the climate suddenly became much warmer. When the mighty team walked to the upper reaches of the Trident River, the king and queen had almost taken the **** north The cold and hard frozen ground was forgotten.

But tonight, Robert was in high spirits. Seeing the hound striding into the duel with a gloomy face, Robert's laughter resounded over the river.

"Hound, be careful of your dog's life tonight. Just now Ned and I bet on one hundred golden dragons. He bet his dance teacher to win."

"It's eighty golden dragons, your majesty." Ed corrected said. (Science newcomer: Jade is a nickname, only Kaitlin, the old nanny, and King Robert call Ed as such. It is recommended that newcomers read this book from the beginning. It is not suitable for this book.)

"Stop mother-in-law, I said one hundred golden dragons means one hundred golden dragons, Jude, when did you start to care about the twenty golden dragons with me?"

"Eighty golden dragons are already a lot. Your Majesty, my original intention is that fifty golden dragons are enough. Your Majesty, I never gamble."

"This time is different. You have to cheer for your dance teacher. Where's the dance teacher, what about the others, damn, go and call him... Why are you standing here stupidly? Sir Marlin, I can't wait to see the two warriors It's a duel!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Sir Marlin ran away quickly.

"Haha, I think I was here back in the decisive battle with Rega. His marksmanship is invincible in the Seven Kingdoms. He often wins championships in tournaments. But I only like team battles. Dozens of warriors fight in a circle. People are your enemies. That is the real battle. I always stand last. Haha, the teamfight champion is the real champion, so I smashed Rega Targaryen’s chest with one hammer. Armor, that's it, click, and the Rega flew into the Green Fork River... Haha, hahaha!"

"Your Majesty, you were also seriously injured, and Rega Targaryen almost killed you. His marksmanship, I think, is still invincible in the Seven Kingdoms, but the old and new gods are on our side." Ed. Said.

The king and a group of courtiers who were laughing triumphantly suddenly looked embarrassed.

The king put the horn cup on the desk for a while, and the golden wine splashed out: "Jade, you can't let me have a good time? You always make me disappointed. Seven hells, how can I watch? You are my brother!"

"I won't flatter you, Your Majesty." Ed said dumbly. "You are the king, and there are enough people who flatter you, not bad for me."

Happiness! Happiness!

The swordsmanship teacher clapped his palms and walked into the duel, dancing as he walked, singing a very happy rhythm in his mouth: girl/girl/beautiful good girl/since that night/you climbed my chuang in the moonlight/ Ah/I can't forget you so far/——The rhythm of the singing is not available in the Seven Kingdoms, and it comes from a narrow sea and a foreign land. The singing was very nice, and immediately aroused the interest of the vagrant singers sitting on the other side of the campfire, and they immediately echoed with their voices.

So dancers began to dance.

There are relatively few wandering singers and chanting poets in the northern territory. Because it is too cold, singers and poets are reluctant to go to the northern territory. However, places such as the Hejian Land have begun to increase. So, whether it is courtiers or knights, as long as they sing to please them, the rewards are very rich.

When the kings and lords travel, there will be stray singers who follow them, and they compose songs along the way, using what happened at that time as the song elements to sing or ridicule or satirize the king and lords. Some of these classic songs will be sung in the Seven Kingdoms and recorded by the court bachelor.

Arya came with her teacher. She was very proud to put on a fitted armor, her own embroidery needles hung on her waist, her body was straight and her eyes were clear.

The queen stared at her with scrutiny.

Prince Joffrey's eyes were full of anger. He shouted: "Hound, what are you waiting for, let's start."

The hound walked to the king’s long desk, knelt down on one knee to salute, and danced and sang well, the singer-songwriter Silio stopped singing and danced. He also came to the king, kneeled side by side with the hound, and asked for a duel Start.

Robert stood up enthusiastically and pulled away his famous loud voice: "Dear courtiers, knights, freeriders, waiters, singers and poets, the duel begins. Ed and I bet on a hundred golden dragons, and I bet the hound wins. After all, he is a warrior of our seven nations. Master Jude bet his dance teacher wins. Who would bet against me? No matter how much I accept..."

Suddenly, the queen's voice was faint, but it was enough to make everyone in the audience hear: "I accept any bet that the dance teacher wins. One loses fifty. Who dares to come?"

Wow!

The audience was in an uproar!

One pays 50, this is the craziest bet everyone has heard so far.

"I only have ten silver deer. Your Majesty, are you willing to accept your humble people's bet?" a vagrant singer said tremblingly.

"Silver deer and bronze are not accepted, only golden dragons are accepted. Five golden dragons will rise, but the top will not be capped." Queen Cersei said lightly, sweeping the audience with momentum.

Robert slowly sat down and cursed: "Lannister, he is Lannister again." For more than ten years, he has spent more than a decade, eating and drinking piao bet, and the country has already owed the Lannister family millions of golden dragons. . Robert will not be able to pay off this account in his lifetime, but he has not thought about paying it back. What he prefers to think about is how to borrow it next time.

"I bet with you!" said a girl's crisp voice.

In the eyes of everyone, Arya strode to the back of the queen, drew out the embroidery needle from her waist, and gently placed it in front of the queen: "My embroidery needle, the northern weapon master Miken, carefully crafted it, forged day and night. Month, ten golden dragons."

"Okay, I accept." The queen's gaze slowly swept across the audience, her gaze fixed on the northerners, "Anything else? Captain Jory Kelso, are you a knight?"

"I haven't received the canonization of Lord Ed, Your Majesty Queen."

"Oh, don't you represent your warriors in the north to bet a game? If the north is too poor to take out the golden dragon, the silver deer and the bronze I will accept it, and I will lose 50." The queen said lightly, her eyes swept. To Ed Stark, "Master Ed, do you dare to come, give out a hundred golden dragons, fight my five thousand golden dragons, haha, I know you dare not! Your dance teacher, die, do it! "
