From the beginning of the game of power, I became the protagonist

Therefore, even though Chen Hui didn't know where Sansa Stark was imprisoned, and didn't have the time to search all the hundreds of rooms in the Red Castle, as long as he had the golden-haired princess in his hands, he would probably have the capital to negotiate.

As for how to enter the room that was over a hundred meters above the ground, I could only say that the "Gecko Wall Climbing Technique" in the "Nine Yang Magic Art" was incredibly convenient. Even smooth metal walls could be climbed, and the rough stone walls of the Red Fort were naturally no problem at all.

Chapter 18 Be a Hostage, Your Majesty

"Let go of my daughter, you lowly bastard!"

Seeing Myrcella Baratheon's terrified look, Cersei Lannister, who had suffered a series of misfortunes today, finally broke down completely. She flew into a rage and said, "If you dare to harm a hair on my daughter's head, I will..."

"Shh."

A flash of sword light appeared in mid-air, followed by a wisp of golden hair floating down. Chen Hui feigned confusion and asked, "What did you say? Please continue. I'm all ears."

"." The sudden sword strike silenced Cersei's subsequent roars. She stared at Chen Hui with wide eyes, not knowing what to say.

She could only curse this illegitimate child in her heart for being so unsportsmanlike. How could she get away with this?

He quickly took two steps forward and pulled the impotent and furious Cersei to Jaime Lannister's side for protection. Tyrion Lannister, who had quickly recovered from his shock, said casually, "Long time no see, Jon. We didn't expect to meet again in such a situation after we parted at Winterfell."

"It's you, Mr. Little Devil. Long time no see." Completely ignoring the dozens of longswords pointed at him, Chen Hui smiled and nodded. "But I need to remind you that I am 100% human, and I don't need to make others feel inferior to me."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect that Chen Hui had heard all the teasing that the "little devil" had just said in the room. They were all shocked and their fear of this illegitimate child became even more serious.

"Ser Gregor Clegane, so you are here."

Chen Hui ignored the mixed expressions of the crowd and turned to look at the retreating 'Mountain'. He said, "I was looking for you the whole time. I'm so sorry I didn't see your body. I have to admit, you're the first person in the world who could withstand my full-strength attack and survive. I really admire you."

"So I've decided. If we ever have the chance to fight again, I'll definitely strike you with seventeen or eighteen blows in a row. I won't stop until I've chopped this mountain-like body of yours into mud."

Hearing such a provocative teasing, the usually domineering Gregor Clegane did not even have the courage to retort. He just nervously held his sword with his only intact left hand, and was ready to run away immediately if the situation went wrong.

Saving your life is the most important thing in the world. Lord Tywin, please forgive me. It’s not that I don’t want to protect your children, but the enemy is just too stupid.

Although Gregor Clegane's performance was cowardly, strictly speaking, he was actually the best one.

In fact, seeing the nightmare-like evil star reappear, all the remaining golden-robed soldiers in the hall were immediately frightened and trembled all over, wailing incessantly. Some of the most courageous ones were even frightened to faint. It can be seen how much psychological damage the previous scene had caused them.

"Enough! What do you want?" Unable to bear the increasingly tense and noisy atmosphere in the hall any longer, Jaime Lannister protected his sister behind him with a sword in one hand, glared at Chen Hui and shouted angrily.

"Isn't the situation obvious, Lord James?" Chen Hui patted the blonde princess's slightly trembling shoulders, shrugged, and replied, "One for one, the king's princess for the duke's daughter. You won't suffer any loss."

"You wish! This is impossible!" Joffrey finally came to his senses at this moment. As soon as he entered the arena, he roared: "All guards, listen! In the name of the king, I command you to kill this vile bastard immediately!"

"Joffrey, you're crazy! Your sister is still in his hands!" Cersei turned around in disbelief, staring at her son on the Iron Throne and shouted, "Don't you care about Myrcella's life or death?"

Facing the astonished expressions of the crowd and the pale face of the blonde princess, Joffrey Baratheon said proudly, "I am the king. My will is everything. No one can stop me! Not even my sister!"

"All guards, take action immediately. This is the king's order!"

Joffrey spoke with great vigor and determination, but he did not notice that the guards just looked at each other after hearing his words, and at the same time cast their eyes on Cersei and Jaime, with no intention of paying any attention to the king.

It was clear that everyone except Joffrey himself knew who was the real boss here.

Seeing this family's massive ethical farce, Chen Hui shook his head and couldn't help but sigh, "I knew you were a scumbag, but I never thought you could be this bad. Fortunately, I didn't expect it to be so easy. After all, the most valuable hostage has never been this princess."

As he spoke, Chen Hui let go of Myrcella Baratheon and smiled at Joffrey Baratheon sitting on the Iron Throne.

"Protect His Majesty the King!"

Realizing that Chen Hui was planning to attack Joffrey, all the Kingsguards in the house, except for Jaime who needed to protect his sister, immediately took action and quickly surrounded the Iron Throne, leaving Chen Hui no chance to take advantage.

However, how can something that can only be used to defend against ants withstand the attack of an elephant?

In just a flash, Chen Hui, who was originally standing at the door, rushed out of the encirclement of dozens of golden-robed men and arrived at the platform where the Iron Throne was located at lightning speed.

The next moment, several Kingsguards were completely unable to resist and were knocked away by Chen Hui's powerful sweep. They fell to the ground more than ten meters away with a "bang" and could not get up. Among them was the legendary Kingsguard known as the "Fearless" - Barristan Selmy.

Well, this guy hasn’t been kicked away by Emperor Joe yet.

He is an old man in his sixties, and he hopes no one will accuse him of not respecting the elderly and loving the young.

But then again, the equipment of the Kingsguard was much better than that of ordinary golden robes. The long swords in their hands were not cut off by the Zhenwu Sword in the fight, but only a gap was cut.

Otherwise, these Kingsguards would have been killed and would have been cut in two with their swords.

After sighing at the extraordinary forging technology of this world, Chen Hui placed his sword across the neck of the stunned Joffrey Baratheon. He smiled at the suddenly pale face and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty. Your humble bastard, Jon Snow, greets you. Please immediately order my beloved sister Sansa Stark to be brought here in exchange for your life."

"Is it okay?"

Chapter 19 I will kill all the Lannisters

Joffrey Baratheon was just a naughty kid who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Faced with the threat of death, he was so scared that he trembled all over and screamed uncontrollably. Chen Hui was so annoyed that he simply slapped him unconscious to stop him from making endless noise.

Anyway, he is not the one who can make the decision, so he just needs to be a mascot quietly.

"when."

As Joffrey was knocked unconscious on the seat by a slap, an object fell from his body. Chen Hui was slightly stunned when he saw this, and found that it was the dragon bone dagger with great significance in the TV series, which was still on this naughty kid.

That's right, after all, he didn't send anyone to assassinate Bran Stark this time.

Picking up the dagger and putting it in his arms, Chen Hui looked at the bewildered crowd below and said with a smile, "Now that my hostage is a bit more powerful, can we start the transaction?"

Shocked by the lightning-fast attack, everyone finally realized that what the remnant soldiers had said was true and subconsciously took a few steps back. After a long while, Cersei, who loved her son dearly, finally said, "Don't harm my son. I am willing to exchange Sansa for you."

"Wouldn't it have been better if you had said that earlier?" Chen Hui smiled slightly when he heard that, and actually put the sword back into the scabbard and walked down from the platform where the throne was placed.

"Could it be that he is as gullible as Ed?"

Seeing that Chen Hui let Joffrey go so easily, the minds of several conspiracy masters present suddenly became active, and they quickly thought of ways to deal with this illegitimate child.

After all, in their opinion, no matter how high his fighting power is, if Chen Hui is also a person from the northern border who is not good at using his brain, there should be many ways to deal with him.

"Why are you all looking at me like that? Wasn't what I did just now obvious enough?"

Seeing through everyone's thoughts, Chen Hui smiled nonchalantly and said, "I'll just tell you the truth. I don't care whether you keep your promise or not, nor do I care what happens next."

"Because you should know very well that even if you summon all the guards in the city, the most you can do is to prevent me from taking Sansa. But if I want to leave, no one in this city, and no one in the Seven Kingdoms, can stop me."

"So, I can tell you very clearly now. If you break your promise, if I cannot take Sansa away safely today, then all of you here should be prepared to be retaliated and hunted by me for the rest of your lives, especially you, the Lannisters."

Ignoring the sudden change of color on everyone's faces, Chen Hui walked step by step to the huddled Cersei and her brother. He ignored the longsword in Jaime's hand and smiled, "I will kill every Lannister, every one of them, whether they are your brothers, fathers, relatives or friends."

"As long as they are Lannisters, as long as they are from the Lion family, I will kill them all, and not a single one will be left alive."

"I want the Lannister family name to disappear completely from the continent of Westeros, just like the Targaryen family once did."

"Don't doubt my determination, and don't doubt my ability. Don't forget that I'm only a teenager. I still have decades to play with you guys."

"If your Lannister motto is 'A debt must be paid,' then my motto, Jon Snow, is: I will not offend anyone unless they offend me. If they offend me, I will destroy them completely!"

When Chen Hui said this, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grasped the tip of the longsword in front of him, broke it with a sudden force, and threw it backwards with his backhand. With a ding, the sword hit the backrest of the Iron Throne, just a few centimeters away from Joffrey's head. Barristan Selmy, who was about to secretly take him away, was frightened so much that he took several steps back and dared not move forward again.

"Don't try anything sneaky behind me. I have very sharp ears." Chen Hui sneered without turning his head. "If you want His Majesty's body to have more blood holes, you can keep trying, 'Fearless' - Ser Barristan Selmy."

When everyone heard this, they suddenly thought of Chen Hui's previous behavior of being able to hear Tyrion Lannister's words through the gate. They no longer dared to doubt his words and no longer had the intention to make any small moves.

Ignoring the already shaky Cersei siblings in front of him, Chen Hui smiled nonchalantly before suddenly turning his gaze to the anxious Myrcella Baratheon. He softly soothed, "What I just said did not include you, Princess Myrcella Baratheon. I'm sorry to have dragged you into this matter. I offer my sincere apologies."

"...Will you kill my mother?" Myrcella Baratheon asked timidly.

"If she breaks her promise... yes."

Chen Hui walked up to the blonde princess, wiped away the tears that were slowly falling from her eyes, and shrugged nonchalantly, "But I gave her the opportunity to choose, didn't I? Everyone chooses their own path, and everyone must be responsible for their choices to the end."

"After all, as long as it's a path you choose, you have to finish it, even if you have to kneel down."

"Then... then you can kill me too."

"I won't kill you, Princess." Chen Hui said with a leisurely smile: "After all, you are a Baratheon, aren't you?"

"I don't"

"Hush!" He raised his finger and pressed it against the blonde princess's lips. Chen Hui shook his head and said, "You are a Baratheon, Princess. Although I don't know what Joffrey is, you... and your brother Tommen are definitely Baratheons. I firmly believe this."

Cersei, who was almost in despair, couldn't help but brighten up when she heard this. She seemed to have heard something behind the words. Her mind was working rapidly. After a moment, she asked tentatively, "Jon Snow, what do you think of Robert?"

"Use your eyes to see, what else can you do?"

After spouting off a modern joke and looking at the aggrieved expressions on everyone's faces, Chen Hui coughed awkwardly and curled his lips, saying, "I can only say that I have no affection for that fat, drunkard. After all, he hasn't given me anything, not even territory or a title. Why would I risk my life for him? This has nothing to do with me."

"But your father and Robert had a good relationship." Realizing that things might be turning around, Cersei was immediately overjoyed, but her expression remained calm as she tentatively said, "He seems to be brooding over King Robert's death."

"No matter how much you hold a grudge against him, Robert is already dead." Chen Hui shook his head and said, "A dead man can't offer any benefits, nor can he be promoted or given anything like that."

"No matter how much my father cherishes this friendship, if I have to mobilize the entire North to seek justice for a dead person, I'm afraid most lords would not be willing."

"After all, no matter what the outcome of the war is, my father will never be able to sit on the Iron Throne. This means that none of the Stark family's vassals will be able to gain much benefit from the war."

"Not everyone can regard honor as supreme, Your Majesty."

Smart people speak conveniently. Cersei had already fully understood the hidden meaning of Chen Hui's words. After hearing this, she took a deep breath and asked, "One last question. If I return Sansa to the Stark family, will Eddard be willing to withdraw his troops?"

"I don't know. I'm not your father." Chen Hui shrugged and said, "Anyway, I definitely don't want to risk my life for a stranger. After all, there's absolutely no benefit, right?"

If Chen Hui was just an ordinary illegitimate child, then his opinion would naturally not carry any weight, and Cersei would not take it to heart.

But after today's series of events, Cersei is very clear that this illegitimate son will inevitably become an important figure in the entire North, and even in the entire Seven Kingdoms. His status is probably second only to Duke Eddard.

Therefore, his wishes have become very important now, and no matter how arbitrary Duke Ed is, he cannot completely ignore them.

Seeing Cersei Lannister's expression gradually relaxing, Chen Hui smiled and reminded her, "Enough has been said. Now it's your turn, Your Majesty, to make a choice. Will you bring Sansa Stark here, or summon the palace guards? I'll wait and see."

Chapter 20 Successfully Escaped

A moment later, Cersei Lannister brought Sansa Stark, who was like a frightened bird, into the throne room.

The originally amiable man suddenly became hideous, and her father was called a traitor by everyone. Sansa had a day worse than death, and she had no idea what had happened.

Sansa followed Queen Cersei into the hall anxiously. She immediately spotted Chen Hui, who was standing in the middle of the hall, pretending to sleep with his sword in his arms. She could no longer contain her anxiety and rushed forward to demand, "Jon, what happened? Where are father and Arya? Why did this happen..."

"Snapped!"

Chen Hui waved his hand and slapped Sansa, blocking out all the next words. He stared at her incredulous eyes and said in a deep voice, "Are you done? If you are, get ready to leave. It's time to return to Winterfell."

"You bastard! How dare you..."

"Snapped!".

After another backhand slap, Chen Hui smiled coldly and said, "You should be thankful that you are also a Stark. If you were not my father's daughter and Arya's sister, I would not care whether you live or die. Do you understand?"

"Leave King's Landing with me immediately and return to Winterfell immediately. Don't make me say it a third time."

As he spoke, ignoring the girl's expression that was about to burst into tears, Chen Hui smiled apologetically at Cersei who was watching the show from the side and said, "The little girl is ignorant. I am sorry to have embarrassed Her Majesty."

"It's okay. Everyone has their youth and innocence." Cersei, who had completely understood Chen Hui's bottom line, relaxed completely. She regained her graceful smile and said, "Actually, the marriage with the Wolf family can continue."

"If you can put Tommen on the throne, then I have no objection." Chen Hui couldn't help but sigh that it was comfortable to talk to someone who understood the rules of the game. He shrugged and said, "But Joffrey definitely can't do that. He's even crazier than the Mad King. At least Aerys Targaryen only kills outsiders and hasn't even attacked his own brothers and sisters."

Cersei's beautiful face darkened when she heard this, and the graceful demeanor she had just shown collapsed again. After all, no matter how bad Joffrey was, he was still her eldest son and she had high hopes for him. She didn't want to hear an outsider say this about him.

Not only was Cersei in a bad mood, but Jaime Lannister beside her was also extremely embarrassed. After all, he was the real culprit who killed the "Mad King".

Although he always felt that he was doing this for the greater good of the people, but seeing that his son was actually regarded as worse than the 'Mad King', James suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and his handsome face was quickly filled with lingering sadness.

After all, seeing that Joffrey had let his sister die without hesitation, the brother and sister really couldn't say anything to refute.

And this is what hurts the most.

Ignoring the depressed expressions of the siblings, Chen Hui turned his gaze to Petyr Baelish, the "Littlefinger," who had been trying to minimize his presence ever since he entered the hall. He walked towards him and said with a smile, "Lord Petyr Baelish, I have heard of you for a long time. I heard that you have dealt a terrible blow to my father this time."

"Ah?! No, there must be some misunderstanding here, um..."

Chen Hui patted Little Finger's shoulder hard, making the frail man slump down. Then he put his arm around his shoulders affectionately and said, "It's okay, it's okay. It's not your fault. My father never gave me any favors when I asked him to do something, thinking that honor was enough to make a living. It's only natural for you to cheat him. I would do the same if it were you. So I won't kill you this time. You can rest assured."

"only......."

Seeing Littlefinger's relieved expression after hearing this, Chen Hui smiled slightly and suddenly tightened his grip, digging his fingers deeply into Petyr Baelish's shoulder. Looking at his painfully twisted expression, he said leisurely, "But just this once. I hope you will never contact anyone from the Stark family again. Whether it's my father, Robb, Sansa, Arya, Bran, Rickon, or my mother Catelyn Tully, who treats you like a younger brother. Please do not contact them again, not even by words or letters."

"If... I find out you're turning a deaf ear to my words, no matter which side takes the initiative, I will chop off your hands and legs and throw you into the coldest snow in the North, leaving you to wail your life in the blizzard. Do you understand?"

Looking at his 'little finger' who was now in so much pain that he couldn't speak, Chen Hui pretended to be puzzled and waited for a moment before suddenly realizing: "So, sir, you can't speak anymore. Why don't you tell me earlier? How would I know if you don't tell me? How about you just nod to indicate it?"

Upon hearing this, Little Finger, who was practically on the verge of tears, nodded repeatedly. Chen Hui loosened his grip and watched the conspiracy master slump to the ground, wailing. He then smiled faintly and said, "Remember this feeling now. The next time it will be hundreds, thousands of times stronger."

Chen Hui ignored Littlefinger, who was tumbling on the floor. He glanced around at everyone in the room, finally fixing his gaze on Tyrion Lannister. He smiled and said, "If you, Little Imp, ever plan to go to the North again, please let me know. I will definitely give you a warm welcome."

"Let's see what happens." The 'little devil' shrugged and said, "There probably won't be many opportunities recently. I have too many things to worry about."

"Yes, there are still two Crowned Stags that need to be dealt with." Chen Hui said meaningfully, "But there is only one Iron Throne, but there are two Stags. I wonder how the brothers plan to divide it. It's really exciting."

Everyone present, except Sansa, was extremely intelligent. They immediately understood the hidden meaning of Chen Hui's words and looked at each other in great surprise. Then they saw Queen Cersei say, "Jon, you can actually stay in King's Landing. As long as you are willing, I can give you whatever you want, whether it's fiefdoms, titles, gold, or women. You can have as much as you want. I swear in the name of the Queen Mother of the Seven Kingdoms that I will never break my promise!"
