Chapter 701

It had been five days since Robert arrived in Winterfell.

Eddard Stark also intended to follow the other party back to King's Landing to become the new Hand of the King.

However, facing Robert's invitation to go to King's Landing, Zhang Cheng chose to refuse.

Because he simply didn't want to get involved in the game of "power."

Facing them, Zhang Cheng would feel his IQ being infinitely lowered.

Because if Robert had even a little brain, he would be able to notice that Joffrey didn't look like him at all.

After all, the bloodline of the Baratheon family is very pure; black hair, black eyes, these are all undeniable facts.

As for why, it's because the Baratheon family's bloodline possesses Targaryen blood! This is also the reason why they can sit on the Iron Wang Zuo!

And golden hair, who would people think of? Lannister!

Especially since Jaime was still serving as a member of the Kingsguard, did no one notice this point?

Oh, there was one person who discovered it, and that was Jon Arryn.

However, that unlucky guy was poisoned, and it wasn't Cersei who did it herself; it was poisoned by his wife Lysa!

As for who instigated it behind the scenes, that was naturally Petyr Baelish, Littlefinger from the Fingers!

Why did Littlefinger do these operations? That was naturally because he had an unwilling heart.

After all, as a noble from the Fingers, and coming from the poorest Littlefinger, Littlefinger could be said to be nothing.

If he didn't work hard to climb up, he would probably be like this for the rest of his life.

But Littlefinger had a restless heart, and with Lysa's assistance, it eventually led to the death of Jon Arryn, and the War of the Five Kings that followed!

However, regarding these, Zhang Cheng didn't care much, because he was currently contacting his "business partners"!

Although in most cases, business partners are idiots, but when encountering things, business partners can be used as shields!

Count Count Celingen territory, Eagle City.

On the open ground below, tens of thousands of soldiers were forming formations.

Arriving by carriage from afar, as an old rival, Paxter couldn't help but be surprised.

Because over these years, the Count Count Celingen family seemed to have never given up on military preparations, as if ready to go to war at any time, but the problem was, who was the Count Count Celingen family going to fight?

Just when Paxter was full of confusion, the carriage stopped.

Getting off, Paxter immediately revealed a smile, "Very happy to see you, Butler Andrew!"

"I am the same, Earl Redwyne!"

Looking at Paxter before him, Andrew immediately stepped forward.

"Luo Sai? Where is he?"

Asking Andrew, Redwyne couldn't help but speak up.

"The Earl is waiting for you above!"

Revealing a smile, Andrew immediately led Paxter into the castle.

When Redwyne arrived at the balcony on the upper floor, he saw Zhang Cheng, who was supporting the railing with both hands, observing the training!

"Oh, my friend, long time no see!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng happily, Paxter couldn't help but smile.

And hearing Paxter's words, Zhang Cheng turned his head and said, "Over these years, your family's wine has been selling well!"

"Thanks to you, the clippers saved our family a lot of time!"

Explaining with a laugh, Redwyne said, "You asked me to come this time, is there something to discuss?"

"I want to cooperate with the Redwyne family to form a fleet to blockade the entire maritime passage of Westeros!"

Looking at Paxter beside him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile.

"What do you mean by this? Could it be that you also want to be like Balon and declare yourself king?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng suspiciously, Paxter was shocked by his statement.

But in the next second, Zhang Cheng said, "Don't compare me with an idiot like Balon; I just want to make more money! After all, the Redwyne family has wine, and our Count Count Celingen family has ships and soldiers!"

Looking at Paxter before him, Zhang Cheng explained with a smile.

"I don't quite understand your statement. If you just want to cooperate, we can completely give you a part of the sales!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Paxter felt confused in his heart.

Because the current Count Count Celingen family didn't seem to need to sell wine to maintain the family business.

After all, have you ever seen a family that uses slaves as an industry lack money?

The number of slaves sold by the Count Count Celingen family is "notorious" even in Slaver's Bay! "I need a more powerful fleet to prevent what happens next. Winter is coming, Redwyne!"

Looking at Paxter earnestly, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but become serious.

"What are you talking about? Are you joking? Luo Sai, 'Winter is coming' is not the motto of the Stark family?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng suspiciously, Paxter's face revealed a look of astonishment.

But just at this moment, Bard walked out and said, "Lord Earl, everything is ready!"

"Then bring it up, let our friend see if there is truly 'Winter' in this world!"

Speaking to Bard behind him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile.

And just as his voice fell, more than ten soldiers slowly carried an iron cage in.

But the moment the cage opened, Paxter was dumbfounded.

Because inside, there was actually a terrifying "monster" imprisoned.

That's right, saying it's a person no longer fits the traditional impression!

Because this guy is like a corpse from head to toe, but he can still move freely, letting out a roar at everyone!

"Oh, heaven, what is this thing!"

Retreating in shock, Paxter almost fell off the railing, but was supported by Zhang Cheng.

Looking at the wight in shock, Paxter pointed and said, "What is he?"

!

"A wight, a creature that has already died but has been resurrected by the White Walkers!"

Looking at Paxter with a smile, Zhang Cheng turned his head and said, "This kind of thing cannot be killed even if its head is cut off; the real way is to burn it, or sink it into the sea."

"So that's why you wanted to form a fleet?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, Paxter couldn't help but be surprised.

"That's right, what do you think of this idea!"

Looking at Paxter with a smile, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but spread his arms and say, "When winter comes, the power of the entire Westeros will be disrupted!"

"You are crazier than Balon; at least he wouldn't be crazy enough to drag everyone to die!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, Redwyne roared.

And looking at Paxter, Zhang Cheng laughed, "Do you think those nobles will worry about this kind of thing? They will only care about their own power. Robert has already been assassinated, and the war is about to begin!"

"What did you do? Luo Sai! He is the King of the Iron Wang Zuo!"

Roaring angrily, Redwyne rebuked.

"I didn't kill him; it was Cersei. That bitch is with her brother, and they gave birth to three bastards, none of whom are Robert's offspring. Jon Arryn discovered this, but... the war can no longer be stopped!"

Looking at Paxter, Zhang Cheng said solemnly, "Tell me, what do you intend to do? Are you going to participate in the power struggle with the Tyrell family, or form a coalition with me to build hope for Westeros?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng before him, Paxter couldn't help but tremble all over at this moment.

Because how could things become like this? He was going crazy!
