336 Die

Just as Lan Li was resolutely preparing to turn around and return, a major change had already begun far away in King's Landing City!

When the war was won, Robert Baratheon, as the king, had no longer had the grimness of the past, and his mood relaxed. But just as he was strolling out of the Red Fort with great enthusiasm and preparing to go to a brothel in the city to relax, he was assassinated on the road!

More than a dozen assassins were hiding in towering buildings on both sides of the street. When the king riding a horse passed by, he was shot from the sky by a large number of crossbow arrows and even stained the streets with blood and died on the spot!

The chaos that followed was very serious. The guards around him were shocked and hurriedly came forward to first aid. Some turned around to report the news. More people immediately dispersed and launched an encirclement and suppression of the assassinators.

They successfully captured more than a dozen assassins hiding around, but they could not hide the fact that the king was dead.

That night, before the chaos was over, the assassins who were locked in the Red Fort waiting for interrogation all died suddenly in the dungeon, and even all the murder clues were interrupted.

At this time, when the former Prime Minister Jon Eiling returned to the valley to deal with the valley rebellion, the Minister of the Navy Stannis Baratheon still intercepted the continuous return enemies in the sea. The Minister of Finance Mess Tyriel also returned to the riverside to finish the finale. Only the Grand Secretary of the Imperial Conference was Stannis Baratheon.

However, he obviously could not control this situation, so Cersei, as the queen, stood up to take charge of the overall situation, and slowly sorted out the matter clearly, sent people to investigate clues, blocked King's Land and searched for assassin accomplices, placed the king's body for burial, wrote a letter to report the death of kings from all over the seven countries, and prepared for the succession of the new king Joffrey...

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

However, who would have thought that this noble and beautiful blonde queen was actually the creator of this incident?

...

In the quiet cathedral, the gloomy candlelight bloomed quietly on the steps of the statue of the Strange God. The seven-pointed star on the top of the statue shone in the dark window, causing the fat corpse to be lying on the stone platform in front of the statue to be in a trance.

Standing in front of the corpse, he quietly looked at the peaceful and rough face, with a slightly curly blonde haired beautiful queen with complex expressions.

"I didn't want to do this either. Who told you that brother is so scary?" The murmur was very weak, but no matter how quiet the hall was, it could be heard by people around me.

"Can we hide it from him?" The blonde James beside him couldn't help but speak.

"I don't have any confidence." Cersei replied in dismay, "That's not an area we can understand. Who knows how much he can do?"

James was silent when he heard this, then pursed his lips, "I hope he can die in the north."

"I don't think he'll die." Cersei shook her head.

"Even if we don't die, staying in the North will delay him for a long time." James said: "We can make a lot of preparations during this period."

"But he will come back in the end."

"...Are you afraid of being like this?"

After being hit several times, James couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, "We have already taken the lead. What if that person's skills are so powerful? His elder brother is still dead at our hands!"

"It was his elder brother who died, not that Renli." Cersei responded sneered.

"If he is so powerful, how could we harm his elder brother?" James said dissatisfiedly: "If he is so powerful, why don't this battle be seen--"

He was about to say why he didn't see Lan Li expel the enemy, but suddenly he thought that this battle seemed to have really decided the outcome because of Lan Li's methods, and he couldn't help but feel silent.

The hall was silent for a while, and finally the blonde queen gritted her teeth and said, "I can only count on my father. I have clearly written down all our plans and actions in the letter. He will lead his army to Junlin. When my father arrives at Junlin, we will crown Xiao Qiao!"

"Are you sure that Renly will go north?"

"Definitely!" the queen sneered: "Ed Stark cannot die, otherwise the North will not be stable. Don't forget that Old Jon's poisoned little wife jumped off the building and committed suicide. If Stark is dead now, his wife Caitlin will control the North and may be close to Baratheon?"

"It depends on what Mrs. Stark thinks."

The blonde James answered this way, but after looking at his sister beside him, the two were silent on the spot.

They are talking about the northern border, but what they are most worried about now is the corpse in front of them.

Assassinating the king was really risky, but they had to do it.

The pressure brought by Lan Li was too great. Not only did he create a so-called Holy Light Warrior Order in King's Landing, he was said to have summoned the Dead Legion on the battlefield!?

If it were ordinary people who heard this, it might be a joke, but those who claim to know Renli feel very stressed.

If they really want to continue to delay, they cannot guarantee whether the secret will be exposed, so they can only take the initiative to take action now.

However, this kind of attack actually has many loopholes. For example, the assassin's ambush and death. A smart person can see that if no one is an insider, it is impossible for the assassin to grasp the route of King Robert in advance, nor can he die suddenly afterwards.

What's more, others don't understand what they did, but those Mills cannot be unclear-

There was not much power on hand, so the siblings contacted the Mills who had just suffered a big defeat in Westeros and reached a cooperation.

However, although this brings powerful helpers, it is also a big hidden danger.

"We'll just disappear, too!"

After a long silence, the handsome blonde knight held the hand of his sister beside him, "Joffrey and the others didn't know their own background. As long as we disappear, no one will know this secret again."

"How did you disappear?"

"Pretend to be assassinated and pretend to be two corpses," James replied. "Then we go to Rees, Mill, and go anywhere. Anyway, I don't want to stay here anymore, it's harder than waiting for trial."

James was a rude person, but the "hits" he suffered made him calmer. His pride as the youngest Royal Guard in history was simply vulnerable to the mysterious power, and no one could imagine how much pressure he had under someone's oppression.

However, Cersei has a different view on this.

"Who do you think you can hide from fake death?" she asked, "What if he chases him?"

"I can't chase him and fight him!"

"Then why don't we stay here and fight him with my father's army?"

"But if my father's army could not do it-"
