Aerys II Targaryen, the "Mad King" and the "Bloodscab King". He is the seventeenth Targaryen and was crowned on the Iron Throne in 262 Aegon. He married his sister Rhaella Targaryen, and only Rhaegar and Viserys survived their children, while the others died. Liu Yuan has the most say in this. Given the current health conditions in Westeros, the infant mortality rate is quite high. Even someone like him had fallen ill before, and he had to rely on his body to bear it without any medicine. What's more, the Targaryens were close relatives, so it was normal for them to have children with problems.

When he was young, Aerys II had a bad temper and moodiness. He was easily bored with the old and loved new things. He was very quick to change his feelings, both in politics and in women. As he grew older, Aerys became more jealous, suspicious, cruel, and prone to outbursts. Especially after the Rebellion in Duskendale, these characteristics became more and more exposed. In the end, Aerys became obsessed with burning people at the stake. Aerys gradually became cruel and erratic, including his obsession with fire. He loved a mysterious and highly flammable substance - wildfire. He liked to burn people alive in fruit-shaped jars. People said that it was the "Rebellion in Duskendale" that drove King Aerys mad.

The king had not left the Red Keep for five years since the rebellion at Duskendale, and his sudden decision to attend the tourney at Harrenhal was something no one had expected.

Listening to the horns ringing around, Liu Yuan climbed to the top of the Wailing Tower. The walls at the top of the tower were broken in many places, and the wind blew in from the gaps, making a "woooo ...

The royal convoy entered Harrenhal in a mighty procession, and countless people cheered and greeted them on both sides of the road. There were nobles and knights, as well as soldiers, and of course more servants and followers pretending to be ordinary people. The three knights at the head wore heavy rose-gold composite plate armor, and the red three-headed dragon mark on their chests was the emblem of the Targaryen family. They rode tall horses covered with armor. Behind them were the heavy infantry holding high banners. They were in neat formation, and their armor was mainly scale armor and studded armor.

Then a heroic young knight appeared with the king's carriage. He was not wearing a helmet, and his long silver-white hair fluttered in the wind. The young man was very handsome, and his armor was also quite gorgeous. The wide frame of the king's carriage was covered by wooden curtains on all sides, and only a sitting figure could be vaguely seen inside. It should be Elis II, known as the "Mad King". Behind the king's carriage, there were also two knights in rose gold armor.

Liu Yuan was so far away that he couldn't hear what they were saying. What were they talking about? But he could see that everyone, including Lord Adrian and the Stark siblings, knelt down to salute, and the silver-haired young man accepted it without hesitation. It seemed that his identity was very unusual, he should be a prince or something like that.

But the king did not get off the car. Surrounded by a group of nobles, the carriage drove directly to the King's Tower. I really don't know what Earl He An was thinking? Putting a king who loves to set fires and burn people in the King's Tower. Isn't he afraid of breaking taboos? Due to the problem of perspective, he couldn't see the following content. But it doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with a small person like him. What he is really interested in are the five knights in rose gold armor. They should be the Kingsguard! It is said that they are the best warriors selected from the seven kingdoms, and they should represent the strongest fighting force in Westeros.

Liu Yuan thought that the castle would be busy for a while to welcome the king, and at least a dinner party would be held. Anyway, he had nothing to do at the moment, so he simply ran to the east gate to ask the guards about the Kingsguard.

Liu Yuan naturally didn't go to get close to someone empty-handed, he was carrying a can of beer. This brown barley wine is a specialty of the Hejian area, Liu Yuan exchanged roasted fish and pheasant from the wine cellar. He had drunk beer and found that there was a difference between beer and beer. The alcohol content was slightly lower at around 6°, and the taste was slightly different. The beer might taste lighter, sweet and with a unique aroma.

Their production processes are basically the same. Both beer and ale need to be made through fermentation. The fermentation process is the process of yeast converting sugar into alcohol. However, the brewing cost of ale is higher. Its raw materials are generally barley or wheat, which is brewed directly; the raw materials of beer are generally wheat, barley or rye, and some beers may also add other ingredients.

Liu Yuan had become acquainted with the castle guards these days, and he also brought beer and dried fish to go with it. As a blacksmith apprentice, Liu Yuan would also help the guards maintain their weapons and equipment. Everyone liked this sensible child, and even the captain of the guards ignored the rules and let him do what he wanted.

Everyone greeted him with a smile: "Haha, little Jialong, you came to the East Gate to play today!"

"Haha, little Garlon, what good things did you bring?"

Liu Yuan raised the basket in his hand: "It contains dried fish and meatballs that I made myself, as well as wine!"

A sturdy man picked up the wine jar and took a deep sniff. "Tsk, tsk, the wine is good! Little Garlon, where did you get the wine from? Did you steal it?"

Liu Yuan: "Humph, Captain Philip, what are you talking about? I exchanged this from Luo Lin, and even the steward knows about it! I won't give you this wine."

Captain Philip smiled helplessly and said, "Haha, little Garlon is angry. Okay, okay, I was wrong. Here, this is for you as an apology." As he said that, he took out a handful of copper coins and handed them out. Liu Yuan took them and weighed them, there were about fourteen or fifteen pieces, and put them in his pocket without any hesitation.

Everybody gathered around happily, but Philip kicked them on the butt a few times and scolded them with a smile: "Go back and line up, you have no rules at all. Everyone gets a share, and yours won't be left out." As they still had to work, everyone got a small glass of wine, but the snacks were very popular with everyone.

Seeing the harmonious atmosphere, Liu Yuan asked, "Uncles, I just saw the king's motorcade, it's so magnificent! And the armors of those knights are so beautiful, they are the legendary Kingsguard, right? Who are they? Do any of you know them?"

A soldier said, "I do know a few of them. The one in the front is Ser Gerold Hightower, captain of the Kingsguard, nicknamed the "White Bull" Knight. And Ser Oswell Hightower, he is our lord's brother. Ser Jon Darry is also from our Riverlands." He was a guard of the Hightower family and looked very proud.

Another soldier interrupted and said, "And there is Prince Lewyn Martell, the younger brother of our Dornish princess. Especially the pride of our Dorne, Ser Arthur Dayne, nicknamed "Sword of the Dawn". He is the most praised Kingsguard in the world and is widely regarded as one of the best knights in the Seven Kingdoms." This is a soldier from Sunspear City.

Another soldier said, "We also have Ser Barristan Selmy in the Reach, Barristan the Fearless, who has made great achievements in battle."

Captain Fili laughed and said, "You have nothing to brag about. They don't even know you. In fact, there are two more Kingsguards. Ser Galwyn Gort died in the Duskendale Rebellion a few years ago. And the other one, Ser Harlan Granderson, died of illness in King's Landing not long ago."

Liu Yuan asked: "So the Kingsguard are the most powerful warriors in Westeros?"

Captain Fili said: "Maybe! Usually the Kingsguard is composed of the most loyal and noble knights, and others can only join with the recommendation of the Kingsguard. Westeros is so big, maybe in the Seven Kingdoms..."

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves interrupted his words. Five cavalrymen rushed to the door from the castle. Their stunning armor and the golden lion emblem on their chests were very conspicuous. A soldier said, "They are from the Lannister family. They came with the king's convoy this afternoon."

A cavalryman rode up to them and said, "Ser Jaime Lannister, the new Kingsguard, has been ordered by the king to return to King's Landing to protect the queen and the little prince. Open the city gates immediately!"

Captain Philip took the warrant and looked at it carefully, then turned his gaze to the tower and saw the flag of approval. He immediately said to the soldiers behind him, "Open the city gate!" Then he returned the warrant respectfully to the cavalry.

Among the remaining few people, there was a young knight in gorgeous armor. He had green eyes and golden hair, typical Lannister family features. But at this moment, his face was very ugly. He murmured, "Shame! Shame! I'm so stupid, this devil wants to use me to humiliate my father. I'm so stupid!"

It must be because Liu Yuan has good hearing that he could hear his whispers clearly.
