Chapter 654: The wrong spring!

King's Landing, spring flowers blooming, flowers clustered, colorful flags fluttering,

As a rare grand event on the Westeros continent, the tournament was definitely crowded with people.

Entering the city in a carriage, Lyanna's face was full of curiosity.

However, compared to Lyanna, Zhang Cheng desperately wanted to die; yes, that was the determination to die by drawing the Dragonslayer at his waist and giving his neck a slash!

Because this place was simply too smelly; if there was any place that could compare to King's Landing, it must be the Ganges that you feared just by hearing about it before seeing it!

Under the blessing of "Berserk," Zhang Cheng had increased his physique three times, so even without turning on the beast characteristics, his sense of smell was about three times that of an ordinary person, so he was currently wearing a mask, stuffed with cotton and aromatherapy inside!

Looking at Zhang Cheng, who only had a pair of eyes, but was shrouded in a black robe, Lyanna asked curiously: "Luo Sai, you seem to be very uncomfortable! Why not take off the mask?"

"If I take off the mask, I will die faster!"

Explaining to Lyanna, Zhang Cheng opened his mouth.

"That is indeed true; after all, your appearance will make the noble ladies of King's Landing boil!"

Teasing Zhang Cheng, Lyanna seemed to have misunderstood something.

However, Zhang Cheng did not refute, because he just wanted to enter the royal city as soon as possible; this place was suffocating him!

He had never thought in his life that he, valiant as he was, would not fall on the battlefield fighting dragons, but almost die upon entering King's Landing for the first time!

Entering the Red Keep, people looked at the appearance of the Stark family and greeted them one after another.

Looking at his father and everyone present, Eddard hurriedly pulled his sister forward.

And just as others discovered Zhang Cheng, they were immediately surprised, because they had never seen a family with a black dragon crest.

However, looking at the other party's upright figure and the full sense of pressure, they started discussing one after another.

"Everyone, I am Luo Sai von Caelingen!"

Opening his mouth with a full smile and removing his face mask, Zhang Cheng's appearance immediately caused exclamations from the noble young ladies all around; even the ladies who were already married couldn't help but cover their mouths.

Because even if they had seen the handsome Prince Rhaegar, it didn't prevent them from appreciating Zhang Cheng.

"See that? I said this guy would cause a sensation!"

Opening his mouth with a full smile, Lyanna teased.

"Enough, Lyanna, a lady, a lady!"

Hearing Lyanna's words, Eddard scolded.

"Apologies!"

Sticking out her tongue, Lyanna opened her mouth: "Luo Sai, you should put on your mask!"

"Apologies, I just feel that greeting people while wearing a mask is too impolite!"

Bowing politely, Zhang Cheng put on the mask and smiled.

Gazing at Zhang Cheng before them, many ladies walked up one after another to greet him.

There were even bold noble young ladies who handed over their handkerchiefs, as if wanting a pleasant midsummer night.

However, regarding this, Zhang Cheng politely refused, because he knew the meme of "the noble circle is truly chaotic" very well!

Being a noble in the Middle Ages, the only problem you need to pay attention to is that you cannot let people green you; of course, it's fine if you want to green others!

Where is the prosperous age of Cao Cao, it's right here!

After all, in the Middle Ages, nobles didn't care about these things at all!

Things like the lady and the guard, the groom, or even the nephew, these were all common occurrences.

There were even cases where people who weren't of the authentic bloodline inherited the original family!

However, such things rarely happened; after all, not everyone was as blind as Robert!

"Hey, pretty boy, we meet again, hahaha! Are you here to seduce little girls?" Running over happily, Robert patted Zhang Cheng's shoulder excitedly.

But facing Robert's words, Zhang Cheng said unhappily: "I am here to compete for the tournament champion this time!"

"You?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng suspiciously, Robert sized him up: "Can you do it?"

"If there weren't so many people here, I would personally strangle you, Robert!"

Looking at Robert seriously, Zhang Cheng could not help but complain.

Because he had only said one sentence to Lyanna, and this kid had remembered it until now; he was truly narrow-minded. No wonder after Prince Rhaegar snatched Lyanna away, he would be smashed to death in the river by a hammer from him!

"Hahaha! I still like you speaking so straightforwardly!"

Patting Zhang Cheng's shoulder, Robert started talking to Eddard.

However, just then, the King appeared.

Looking at the Mad King Aerys before them, everyone offered their salutes one after another.

Facing this scene, Aerys seemed to be in a normal state, and immediately began to speak.

But regarding what the Mad King Aerys said, Zhang Cheng didn't listen much; after all, how brainless must you be to listen to a madman talk!

【Note: Content omitted for brevity.】

Aerys, as the seventeenth heir of the Targaryen family, was originally very brainy, and people even thought he could bring peace to Westeros. However, during the Defiance of Duskendale, Aerys was imprisoned by Lord Darklyn for half a year and became mad, even falling in love with wildfire!

Wildfire was a kind of technology-combined substance that could burn everything until it completely disappeared!

It was precisely because of this that Aerys was called the Mad King!

And he was also the last King of the Targaryen family, because he would make more crazy moves in the future, that is, using wildfire to burn Rickard Stark and Brandon Stark to death, leading to the complete rebellion of the Stark family.

And in front, there was an important premise, that is, Rhaegar abandoned his wife Elia Martell and kidnapped Lyanna Stark!

As for whether Lyanna was kidnapped, Zhang Cheng felt it was unlikely; after all, everyone wasn't a child.

The Baratheon family and the Stark family saying so was definitely to protect everyone's face.

After all, if Rhaegar had handed Lyanna over, it would have been fine, but the problem was that the Mad King Aerys did something even more extreme, directly burning Rickard and Brandon to death, and demanding that the two's foster father, Jon Arryn, hand over Eddard and Robert. Then there was no point in talking; just start fighting!

So, a war that swept through Westeros began!

As for who Elia Martell was? Let's explain it here; this is also the reason why Dorne hated the Lannisters!

Because Elia Martell was a Dornishwoman, and also the only princess of the Martell family at the time.

In the war, the Martell family stood firmly on the side of the Targaryen family, also to protect this princess!

But this princess was cruelly insulted and killed by Gregor Clegane, the Mountain of the Lannister family, and he even smashed her child, Prince Aegon, to death, while Princess Rhaenys was stabbed fifty times by Ser Amory...

This is also the reason why the Martell family wanted to fight Tywin to the death, because in the struggles of nobles, the losing side can be negotiated with conditions, equivalent to punishment not applying to high officials!

But the Lannisters doing this meant they didn't intend to talk at all; everyone just tore their faces off!

And the famous Red Viper Oberyn, after learning of his sister's death, also used Viserys's name to continue launching the war, not intending to surrender at all.

Until Prince Doran stopped all this, the Dornish people hid their hatred in their hearts, always intending to restore the Targaryen dynasty!

If Zhang Cheng had to say, as long as Elia didn't die, the Dornish people wouldn't have meddled, but the problem was that you Lannisters were riding on their faces; if they didn't fight you to the death, did you really think the Dornish people daring to fight the Targaryens head-on back then was a joke?
