Chapter 655: The seeds of war have broken through the soil!

On the boiling tournament grounds, knights were putting on armor.

Standing in a corner in the distance, Zhang Cheng crossed his arms, as if watching a play.

However, just then, the voice in the arena rang out.

"Next, please welcome Earl Luo Sai von Caelingen, fighting against Ser Gregor Clegane!"

Just as the referee's voice rang out, Zhang Cheng immediately rubbed his head: "Wait, this name sounds very familiar!"

However, saying so, Zhang Cheng still rode his horse out.

Accompanied by Zhang Cheng's appearance, the young ladies and noblewomen immediately boiled over.

But just in the next second, the Mountain's huge body appeared, and his body on horseback was like riding a dwarf dog!

"Oh, Gods, it's actually the Mountain!"

"Earl Caelingen is in danger!"

"What should we do?"

Just as everyone looked at each other, the Mountain looked at Zhang Cheng as they passed: "Pretty boy, I'll crush your head in a moment!"

Turning his head, Zhang Cheng looked at the Mountain and revealed a look of disgust: "If I don't beat the shit out of you in a moment, it'll count as you having eaten cleanly last night!"

Widening his eyes, the Mountain looked at Zhang Cheng, never expecting that his trash talk would be so dirty, as if his little mouth were poisoned.

Looking at Zhang Cheng angrily, the Mountain roared immediately: "You stop right there, I'm going to slaughter you!"

"Come, come, come, you crawl over!"

Turning his head to look at the Mountain, Zhang Cheng was also full of playfulness.

"This is a tournament, please return to your positions!"

Standing above and roaring, the referee opened his mouth.

And looking at the Mad King Aerys on the throne, Zhang Cheng glanced at the Mountain, because he would definitely give the Mountain a makeover in a moment!

Riding on warhorses, many nobles shouted one after another and started placing bets.

Looking at Eddard beside her, Lyanna hurriedly said: "Brother, money, quick!"

"You want to bet on Luo Sai?"

Looking at Lyanna in shock, Eddard was surprised.

"No, no, no, I want to bet on the Mountain; Luo Sai will definitely lose, believe me!"

Looking at Eddard seriously, only Lyanna's face showed a cunning gaze.

But hearing Lyanna say this, Robert hurriedly said: "No, Lyanna, believe me, Luo Sai will definitely win; the Mountain is just a piece of trash!"

"Really?"

Looking at Robert in disbelief, Lyanna became suspicious.

Because in terms of height and physique, Zhang Cheng and the Mountain were not on the same level at all.

But looking at Lyanna, Eddard also said: "We all bet on Luo Sai!"

"Why?"

Looking at the two in confusion, Lyanna started to doubt, but in the next second, she still said firmly: "I'll go with the Mountain; I believe he will bring me victory!"

And hearing Lyanna say this, Eddard and Robert were speechless.

Because they had seen with their own eyes last time that Zhang Cheng had executed a giant wild beast with one sword!

"Ready!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng and the Mountain in the arena, the referee roared.

You must know, the people serving as referees here were no ordinary characters; they were the Kingsguard!

With the visor closed, Zhang Cheng stared coldly at the Mountain, then raised his lance.

"I will tear you to shreds, kid!"

Roaring, the Mountain also roared.

And just as both sides charged on horseback, the people above stared at this scene, revealing excited gazes.

"Boom!"

Both sides collided, and each thrust their lances toward the other's weak points.

However, compared to the Mountain, Zhang Cheng was even more ruthless, so he aimed at the joints.

And under the immense force, Zhang Cheng fell sideways along with his horse.

"Ah!"

Amidst the shrill screams, the Mountain was clearly also injured in his left arm, falling to the ground with his horse. Watching both sides fall, the nobles above were all dumbfounded, because such scenes were rare!

However, just in the next second, the Mountain roared, lifted his warhorse, and then smashed through the railing to charge toward Zhang Cheng.

After getting up, Zhang Cheng also headed toward the Mountain; just as both sides ended the lance battle, they turned into a brawl.

"Bastard, I'm going to crush you!"

Roaring in pain, the Mountain didn't expect Zhang Cheng to play dirty; if his armor hadn't been thick enough, he would have been crippled by Zhang Cheng just now.

And Zhang Cheng was in a bad mood, because if he hadn't been wearing Valyrian steel armor, he would have been ambushed by this bastard.

Because the Mountain's lance actually contained hidden weapons!

"Go to hell!"

Dodging the Mountain's fist, Zhang Cheng punched him directly in the face.

And in everyone's sight, the Mountain was actually knocked down by Zhang Cheng with one punch, his body flying horizontally and smashing through the railing.

"Gods, what am I seeing?"

"Strange, did I drink too much milk of the poppy?"

"The Mountain was knocked down?"

Just as the nobles exclaimed, Zhang Cheng ran up, grabbed the Mountain, and smashed him continuously.

Struggling to fight back, the Mountain grabbed Zhang Cheng's leg and then threw him away fiercely.

"Boom!"

The body smashed into the wall, and Zhang Cheng seemed to be embedded in it.

Looking at this scene in astonishment, everyone covered their mouths, because Zhang Cheng should be "gone" now, right!

But unexpectedly, just as the Mountain removed his helmet, full of blood, Zhang Cheng stood up, took a step forward, and punched the Mountain.

"Boom!"

Blood scattered, and the Mountain fell straight down.

【Note: Content omitted for brevity.】

And watching the Mountain fall, Zhang Cheng didn't stop, smashing his face continuously.

"Enough, enough, Ser Caelingen!"

Stepping forward to stop Zhang Cheng, the Kingsguard seemed unable to hold him back at all, until five or six men came, and only then was the Mountain's life saved.

Pushing aside the Kingsguard beside him, Zhang Cheng opened his arms: "What are you waiting for, cheer!"

"Earl Caelingen wins!"

And accompanied by the Kingsguard saying these words, the audience shouted one after another.

Because they had truly witnessed the strength of the Caelingen family.

Even a monster like the Mountain had been beaten to the point of not knowing whether he was dead or alive?

Watching the battle below the stage, Tywin's face was full of gloom.

Because he didn't expect that this piece of trash, the Mountain, would make him lose!

"I lost?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in disbelief, accepting flowers with a full smile, Lyanna was dumbfounded.

Because she had bet three thousand gold dragons, and now it was all lost!

And compared to Lyanna's sadness, Eddard and Robert were almost laughing like pigs.

Because they knew Zhang Cheng's bravery too well; even a giant wild beast more terrifying than the Mountain didn't fall into Zhang Cheng's hands, right?

Removing his helmet, after Zhang Cheng came down, the attendant who walked up smiled: "My Lord Earl, we got rich this time!"

"What were the odds again?"

Inquiring of the attendant, Zhang Cheng opened his mouth.

"One to five, you said it, bet twenty thousand!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng excitedly, the attendant smiled.

And hearing the attendant's words, Zhang Cheng turned his head and looked at Tywin Lannister in the distance, his eyes full of smiles.

Because he knew too well who the person controlling the "betting" of the tournament was!

After all, besides the Lannisters who produced gold, who would dare to be the bookie at the tournament!

Making a polite gesture toward Tywin, Zhang Cheng smiled, appearing exceptionally happy.

After all, nothing made him happier than making money!

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Tywin's face was full of frost: "How is the Mountain?"

"His face is disfigured, he can only wear a mask from now on, Lord Tywin!"

Looking at Tywin, the attendant beside him hurriedly explained.

And hearing this, Tywin gritted his teeth: "Clegane, that piece of trash!"
