Chapter 671

The chaotic continent of Westeros gradually became peaceful following the end of the struggle for royal power.

In King's Landing, a grand wedding was unfolding.

Looking at Princess Elia, who had not yet left and was attending the wedding with Prince Lewyn, Zhang Cheng immediately signaled.

However, facing Zhang Cheng, Princess Elia had not yet walked out of the pain of losing her relatives.

But looking at Zhang Cheng, Prince Lewyn pulled him aside to chat for a moment.

And due to the lack of a fleet, before Stannis could attack Dragonstone, Viserys and Daenerys had already crossed the sea and fled to the continent of Essos.

This was undoubtedly a huge trouble for Baratheon's rule.

Looking at Zhang Cheng beside him, Prince Lewyn said, "Elia's condition has been very wrong lately. I'm very sorry, Count Count Count Celingen!"

"It's alright, I won't mind!"

Looking at Prince Lewyn with a smile, Zhang Cheng explained.

After all, if it weren't for Elia's gentleness back then, Zhang Cheng would have watched the Mountain do things that would make ghosts hate and humans loathe him.

Because this was also a good thing for Zhang Cheng, as the Dornish would become enemies with House Lannister, and deadly enemies at that!

"Your Majesty, the people from House Lannister have arrived!"

Just as Zhang Cheng and Prince Lewyn were talking, a grand carriage was seen slowly driving into the Red Keep in the distance.

Seeing Cersei, dressed in red and green, step down from the carriage, everyone present was stunned.

However, compared to those nobles, Zhang Cheng's expression was very plain; he held his wine glass and took a small sip.

Cersei was indeed worthy of the title of the beauty of the Seven Kingdoms, but this was only for those present; after all, Zhang Cheng didn't like "incest"! Nor did he like women who used their bodies as tools for pleasure!

But honestly, why were medieval nobles so open-minded? It was because they were messy!

Looking at Cersei's appearance, Robert was also stunned for a moment, but clearly, he didn't have any good thoughts about this political marriage either!

At the banquet, Eddard sought out Zhang Cheng, and the two came to a deserted corner.

But just as Eddard was about to say something, Zhang Cheng stopped his movement and then drew his dagger.

Looking at Zhang Cheng, a look of confusion appeared on Eddard's face.

But in the next second, Zhang Cheng stared into the darkness and said, "Varys, if you don't come out, I will go over and cut your throat with my own hands. Believe me, no one here can save your life!"

"I was just here to get some air, Count Count Count Celingen!"

Walking out with an awkward smile, Varys couldn't help but explain.

But looking at Varys, Zhang Cheng said coldly, "Get lost. As the Master of Whisperers, you shouldn't be setting your sights on us!"

Looking at Varys, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but scold him.

"Yes, I'll leave right away!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Varys bowed to Eddard and then turned and left.

Watching Varys leave, Eddard said in surprise, "How did you discover Varys?"

"Intuition!"

Revealing a smile, Zhang Cheng said indifferently, and then continued to ask, "What did you want me for?"

"I want you to do me a favor. Lyanna's child, I..."

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Eddard's face was full of awkwardness.

"What do you mean? You want him to go back to House Count Count Celingen with me?"

Looking at Eddard in disbelief, Zhang Cheng was immediately shocked.

"Yes, that's it. I really don't know how to take care of this child, because I'm not married yet!"

Explaining to Zhang Cheng, Eddard's face was full of helplessness.

Because the death of his older brother Brandon forced him to marry Catelyn.

But how was he supposed to explain this child to Catelyn? Should he pass him off as his own bastard?

"Hey, Eddard, this is your trouble; I won't help you take responsibility for it!"

Hearing Eddard's words, Zhang Cheng refused without even thinking.

Because Jon Snow was Lyanna's child, and Zhang Cheng didn't want to get involved in such a big mess.

After all, he planned to head to Middle-earth next; was he supposed to fight orcs while learning how to take care of a child? That would be simply too terrifying!

Hearing Zhang Cheng refuse him, Eddard said, "Then can you help me tell Catelyn? Just say this child is your bastard!"

"Hmm?"

Looking at Eddard in disbelief, Zhang Cheng immediately said, "Are you crazy? I don't even have a female companion; where would I get a bastard from!"

"Rosai, I really suspect, do you like men?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Eddard was now confused.

Because as a Count of House Count Count Celingen, Zhang Cheng's reputation among the nobles was surprisingly good.

After all, he was handsome and his family was powerful, yet he had no scandals; this made people feel strange!

"If you say one more word of nonsense to me, I'll slaughter you with my own hands!"

Looking at Eddard seriously, Zhang Cheng turned and left, saying, "I don't know about this child's matter, and I don't want to know, so don't come looking for trouble with me!"

Watching Zhang Cheng's back as he left, Eddard couldn't help but frown.

!

Because he knew that once he admitted Jon was his bastard, his future treatment would definitely not be good!

But if he handed him over to Zhang Cheng, it would be different.

As a Count of House Count Count Celingen, even if Jon were a bastard, he could enjoy noble treatment.

After all, Catelyn was not someone to be trifled with!

Returning to the banquet, Robert was now somewhat drunk.

You couldn't tell at all that he was getting married today; instead, he was arm-in-arm with the nobles, laughing and talking together.

Seeing Zhang Cheng appear, Robert immediately laughed loudly, "Hey, look, our great hero has arrived! Back then, it was this kid Rosai who rushed out from behind and executed Rhaegar with one sword stroke; otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to win so quickly!"

And while Robert was drunk, many former followers of Targaryen stared at Zhang Cheng.

Facing everyone's gaze, Zhang Cheng thought to himself that this unlucky Robert would sooner or later die from alcohol.

After all, wasn't this professionally bringing up things that shouldn't be brought up?

Although the war was over, the hatred everyone left behind in the war wouldn't disappear easily!

For example, Elia, who had lost her husband, looked at Zhang Cheng with eyes full of anger.

Pulling Elia, Prince Lewyn Martell told her to calm down.

After all, anyone with a brain knew that Robert's words didn't sound like drunken talk; he should be diverting some attention.

"Is this the start of killing the donkey after the millstone is put away? Truly impatient!"

Looking at Robert, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile and raised his wine glass to signal, as if he hadn't been affected.

House Count Count Celingen's performance in this battle for power was simply too perfect.

First, they defeated the Redwyne fleet on the sea, and finally, they beheaded Rhaegar at the Trident and lifted the siege of Storm's End.

All these performances proved that House Count Count Celingen was rising.

Although they were allies, Zhang Cheng didn't owe loyalty to Robert; he was attached to House Stark.

This kind of verbal reminder, instead, made those who followed House Targaryen stay away from Count Count Celingen, forcing him to stand on the same front as Robert!

Looking at Robert, Zhang Cheng raised his wine glass to signal and drank it with a smile.

But in his heart, ten thousand grass-mud horses were galloping, because this bastard Robert didn't even give him a chance to hide and be a "sixth man"!

Now, once any turmoil occurred on the continent of Westeros, Robert's first thought would definitely be to let Zhang Cheng handle it, using House Count Count Celingen as the sharp blade to rule the royal power!

After all, since you can fight so well, it doesn't matter if you fight a few more!

Zhang Cheng: Listen to me, thank you...

Robert: You're welcome!
