Chapter 414
"Tyrion hated the King, hated the Queen Mother, hated the Hand of the King; he used the Grand Maester's poison to poison the King to death!"
The Imp's heart was dead!
Liu Bei shook his head.
"Heh, women!"
The Imp knew he had lost the trial, so he ultimately chose a trial by combat!
He first thought of Jaime; after all, he was his brother, and Tywin wouldn't want his own son to die.
But Joffrey was Jaime's biological son after all, so Jaime naturally refused.
The Imp thought of Bronn, but was refused again.
Cersei had bribed Bronn, matched him with a noblewoman, and besides, Bronn also knew he was no match for the Mountain.
The Imp cursed loudly; Cersei was trying to drive him to his death!
However, he was clearly lucky again; Prince Oberyn entered the cell and indicated he could help him.
"You Lannisters harmed my sister and her two children; I want them to pay their blood debt, starting with the Mountain."
Oberyn was known as the Red Viper, and his strength was quite good.
Liu Bei, however, also came to the cell.
"Tyrion, I heard you were looking for me?"
The Imp's eyes lit up; Count Cass was a martial arts champion. With him as his champion, this wave was stable!
"I didn't expect Count Cass to be willing to come. Please be my champion."
Liu Bei didn't care.
The Mountain was a stumbling block to his occupation of King's Landing, and Liu Bei had a mind to get rid of him.
The Mountain had been famous for twenty years; killing him could also enhance his own reputation for bravery.
Oberyn frowned.
"Count Cass, it seems I came first."
Liu Bei shrugged.
"I haven't exercised in a long time either."
Oberyn pulled Liu Bei aside.
"Count Cass, leave this opportunity to me; I have a blood feud with the Lannister family."
Liu Bei advised,
"Prince, the Mountain is not easy to deal with. You are very agile, but he is too tanky; if you are not careful, you could be killed by him."
Oberyn didn't care.
"No matter what, I have waited for this day for a long time. I want to personally avenge my sister and her two children!"
Liu Bei sighed.
"Why bother? Let me deal with the Mountain, and everyone will be happy."
Oberyn was very persistent.
"I can introduce Tyene Sand to you; she is the most beautiful pearl of my Dorne. As long as you can handle her and make her your mistress, I have no objections."
Tyene was that big-eyed, short-haired girl; her figure and looks were both top-tier.
Liu Bei??
He really admired the values of the Dornish people!
Since things had reached this point, what else could Liu Bei say? He could only say,
"Fine, Prince, don't be careless. The Mountain has thick skin and flesh; you have to kill him with one blow!"
Oberyn was a master of spear techniques, but Liu Bei knew that spearmen always had the lowest luck value.
The Imp actually wanted Count Cass to be his champion, but since it was already like this, Oberyn would have to do.
At the Blackwater Bay of King's Landing, in a small arena,
today the sun was bright, and the stands were full of people.
The Imp was a bit depressed.
"Prince, you should at least wear a helmet."
"Oh, it's better not to drink before the battle..."
Oberyn laughed.
"I must drink before a battle."
The Imp was in a mess in the wind; what an unreliable guy he had found!
Liu Bei appeared with Margaery.
The Mountain opposite was already training there.
Seeing Liu Bei, his eyes lit up, and he walked toward them, glaring fiercely at Liu Bei.
The Mountain was two meters and six centimeters tall, weighing over two hundred kilograms; he looked very fierce.
Margaery whispered,
"How terrifying!"
The Mountain walked over and looked down at Liu Bei.
"Kid, I heard you can fight well. Can you withstand one of my punches!"
Liu Bei smiled.
"You don't look like much, fatter than the fattest pig!"
The Mountain was furious and swung his fist at Liu Bei!
Liu Bei shouted,
"How bold! You actually dare to attack me!"
He also punched the Mountain!
Cersei and the others had long noticed the movement here.
She naturally hoped the Mountain would kill Liu Bei, and it would be fine if Margaery next to him was also beaten to death!
The onlookers around also pointed and gestured.
"Why did Count Cass provoke that demon, the Mountain..."
"It's over, these two are fighting!"
"What is Count Cass thinking, actually going head-to-head? It would be better if he used swordsmanship to subdue the Mountain!"
"Boom!"
A loud noise,
the Mountain's massive fist collided with Liu Bei's!
The scene everyone expected—Liu Bei being sent flying—did not appear.
Instead, it was the Mountain who flew out like a kite with a broken string!
Everyone gasped!
"Count Cass's strength is actually this terrifying!"
Tywin was also shocked; this Cass's strength was actually much stronger than the Mountain's!
Cersei?! What the hell!
The Imp screamed in his heart; he now regretted not begging Liu Bei to fight!
Several noblewomen became extremely envious.
"Count Cass's strength? Margaery has made a fortune!"
"Damn little Margaery, not a bit of sharing spirit."
Margaery held Liu Bei's arm and whispered,
"I've been framed by you; those noblewomen all have opinions about me."
Liu Bei hugged her waist.
"They are jealous of you."
The Grand Maester coughed and said,
"Count Cass, the Mountain is today's contestant."
Margaery snorted.
"If you weren't blind, you could see that it was the damn Mountain who attacked my Cass!"
The Grand Maester...
Liu Bei shrugged; having a husband-protecting maniac backing him up was different.
The Mountain crawled up in a sorry state, his hand still trembling; he didn't expect Liu Bei's fist to be harder than his!
The Mountain grabbed his longsword and roared as he rushed at Liu Bei!
The Grand Maester screamed and ran to the side; his agility was not at all like an eighty-year-old man!
Liu Bei pulled Margaery behind him, drew Lamentation, and instead of retreating, he advanced, rushing at the Mountain!
"Clang!"
A loud noise,
the Mountain's whole body shook, and he spat out a mouthful of old blood!
The Lamentation in Liu Bei's hand struck swiftly and swung fiercely!
A flash of silver,
the Mountain let out a miserable cry, and his massive head flew off, landing precisely on Cersei's table!
Cersei screamed, clearly scared out of her wits!
The entire stand suddenly became silent; it was just too exciting!
The long-famous Mountain had his head sliced off by Count Cass in less than three moves!
"Bang!"
The Mountain's massive body finally crashed to the ground, scaring everyone again!
Liu Bei shrugged.
"Everyone saw it; this Mountain went crazy and actually attacked me. It wasn't polite at all."
Everyone... You cut off the Mountain's head; was that polite?
Tywin stood up.
"The Mountain is dead; the trial will be held another day!"
Tywin added,
"Count Cass killed the champion; you are forbidden from entering the trial next time, and you are not allowed to be Tyrion's champion!"
Liu Bei shrugged; if he couldn't come, he wouldn't come!
Oberyn walked over.
"Cass, aren't you just adding to the chaos?"
Liu Bei was speechless; if he hadn't wiped out the Mountain, today would have been Oberyn's death anniversary...
"Prince, you might not have been the Mountain's match."
Margaery strongly protected her husband.
Oberyn's wife also walked over with lingering fear.
"This Mountain is too terrifying; I was really worried. It's good that he's dead."
The competition ended before it even began!
Over the next few days,
Liu Bei and Margaery held their wedding and officially married the Rose of Highgarden.
Liu Bei hadn't enjoyed his newlywed life for a few days when
Tywin assigned Liu Bei a task: to go to Dragonstone to conquer Stannis Baratheon!
Clearly, Tywin wanted Liu Bei and Stannis to suffer mutual destruction.
As the commander, Liu Bei, in addition to his own thousand troops, recruited two thousand new soldiers; these new soldiers were rascals from King's Landing and nearby cities.
The fifteen hundred soldiers and three thousand sailors provided by the Tyrell family were commanded by the Knight of Flowers, assisting Liu Bei.
The group boarded ships and sailed majestically toward Dragonstone.
