#250 - Chapter 24: Red Wedding (VIII)

Liu Yuan's guards, with perfect coordination, swiftly cleared the enemies at the main gate. Immediately afterward, they unhesitatingly shut the heavy door from the inside, using the surrounding tables as sturdy supports to prevent the Frey guards outside from entering to reinforce. Helpless, these Frey guards could only squeeze in with difficulty through the narrow and cramped passage in the side hall.

At this moment, the entire hall had become a battlefield of chaos and bloodshed. However, facing such a perilous situation, the northern nobles did not cower and retreat. On the contrary, they aroused the courage and fighting spirit deep within their hearts, fighting bravely. Having regained their weapons, they displayed astonishing combat power, causing the Frey guards, who had initially held the advantage, to gradually fall into a disadvantage and were on the verge of being completely driven out of the hall.

"Ugh! ~ Gak ~ Gak" With the last shrill scream, the last member of the Frey family finally crashed to the ground. This person was Awod Frey—old Walder's grandson. Rickon, holding a short sword, pulled it out from the deceased's neck, gently wiped the blood off the blade, and casually smeared it on the other's clothes. His youthful eyes sparkled with irrepressible excitement, because this was the fourth enemy he had personally killed.

Sansa walked up to him, holding a clean white handkerchief, carefully wiping the blood from his cheeks. From her blood-stained dagger, it could be seen that she had also participated in this fierce battle and achieved some results.

Catelyn searched for Edmure's figure among the corpses scattered all over the ground, praying silently in her heart. Finally, she found the unlucky fellow. At the beginning of the battle, Edmure had been tightly bound by the enemy, unable to fight back. Fortunately, as the battle became more and more intense, both sides had no time to pay attention to him. He could only lie on the ground, allowing countless feet to trample over him. Finally, he was buried under the bodies of those who had died in battle, but other than being a little breathless from being压, he was not seriously injured.

Catelyn anxiously groped his body, fearing that he had suffered some serious injuries. When she confirmed that her brother was safe and sound, the stone in her heart finally fell. She raised her head and shouted loudly, "Can anyone come and help! Edmure is still pressed underneath!"

At this time, the burly Earl Jon strode forward, accompanied by his son, Little Jon. Both father and son had some injuries, but they didn't care. They worked together to rescue Edmure from the piles of corpses. Little Jon used all his strength to raise his axe and smash it hard at the iron pin on the shackles. Only a few crisp sounds were heard, and the iron pin broke in response. Edmure was finally free. He stood up, moved his hands and feet that had been bound for a long time, then glared angrily and cursed old Walder. Seeing this, everyone turned their attention to the platform in front.

At this moment, Liu Yuan was sitting steadily in front of the long table, his right hand gently resting on old Walder's shoulder; his left hand was clutching Lyman Frey's neck, strangling him until his face turned blue and he lost his ability to resist. Around him, many corpses were lying scattered, all of whom were Frey family guards.

Liu Yuan slightly increased the strength of his fingers, and old Walder winced in pain, his face instantly turning pale. However, this old guy still pretended to be calm, gritting his teeth and said, "Don't even think about escaping. What's the use of catching me? My army is launching an attack outside the castle right now. The Stark forces have long been vulnerable. When they return to the castle to support, you still won't survive."

Liu Yuan listened and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. His hand increased its strength again, and old Walder screamed. "I already noticed that something was wrong with you. Your army's little tricks? Do you think I wouldn't be prepared?"

Old Walder's face became even paler, and he began to tremble. "Impossible, don't be smug. Your thousand cavalry can't turn the tide of the battle."

Robb walked over and questioned, "Lord Walder, why did you betray me? I have kept my promise, married your daughter, and even brought in my uncle. I also agreed to cede Harrenhal to the Frey family. Why did you break your oath? Even at the cost of violating guest right."

Liu Yuan also said, "Yes! I'm also very curious, what conditions did Tywin promise? That it's worth you doing this."

Old Walder's face was livid. He had lived for more than eighty years and naturally knew that he had to delay time. He slowly opened his mouth, "Lord Tywin promised that the Frey family will have a large area of land from Riverrun to Harrenhal. I will become the new Governor of the Trident, and after you die, Tommen will marry Roslin. Moreover, Tywin will send his daughter to be my wife."

Everyone looked at each other. Tywin was really willing to invest! Liu Yuan nodded with satisfaction, his eyes falling on Lyman again. He loosened his grip a little, "Now tell me about your plan!"

Lyman gasped for breath, looked at his grandfather and slowly said, "We provided a lot of wine, and launched a sneak attack after your soldiers got drunk. As for your cavalry, because they were camped separately, we put medicine in the fodder for the warhorses, and concentrated all the cavalry to attack you first."

Robb was a little anxious: "Teacher Galon, we have to rush out and join the army to organize a counterattack. You old thing, quickly order to surrender, otherwise I will kill you."

Old Walder closed his eyes: "Boy, do it! I have enough descendants, as long as you are killed, the final victory still belongs to the Frey family."

Liu Yuan flicked his left hand, and Lyman's head turned two circles directly. He didn't know why he was killed until his death. Old Walder didn't have time to grieve, and felt himself flying. He fell into the hall next to a pile of corpses, facing Petyr Frey's unblinking eyes.

Liu Yuan said, "Ridiculous, you have many descendants, right! Kill them slowly, and they will eventually be killed. By the way, let me tell you one thing, my cavalry is not one thousand, but four thousand! Surprise, surprise!"

Old Walder closed his eyes in despair. He knew he had completely failed.

Night fell quietly, like a huge black curtain covering the earth. Not long after the conflict broke out in the castle, most of the soldiers in the Stark army camp were drunk and staggering. At this moment, the Frey family's army was quietly approaching the camp and gradually forming an encirclement. They skillfully used the cover of night to prepare to launch a surprise attack.

In an instant, the battle horn suddenly sounded, piercing the silence of the night. Those drunken Stark soldiers were caught off guard and seemed panicked in the face of the sudden attack.
