Chapter 448 Riot

Sansa Stark was awakened by a commotion.

She sat up from the bed in a daze, and saw that her younger sister Arya had already run behind the door, and was carefully opening a small slit to look out.

"what happened?"

"I don't know." Arya said, "It's too dark, I can't see anything clearly..."

Sansa climbed out of the bed, walked lightly behind her sister, and looked out through the crack of the door.

The night was deep, and the courtyard was pitch black. Indeed, nothing could be seen, except for the sound of hurried footsteps outside the courtyard, as well as crying and scolding.

Sansa felt uneasy, and was about to speak when she saw the courtyard gate was slammed open, and then a group of soldiers in golden robes rushed in holding torches.

A strong fear gripped Sansa's throat, making it hard for her to breathe.

Arya was also startled, but she reacted quickly, and immediately closed the door tightly, then grabbed her sister who was standing there like a puppet, and ran into the room.

Sansa came back to her senses, with infinite fear in her voice:

"Are they here to get us?"

"I don't know." Arya got under the bed like a swift mouse, and lifted a wooden cover, revealing the dark hole below, "Quick! Don't stand there stupidly, hide!"

Sansa shivered and got under the bed, and hid in the basement with her sister.

In order not to attract attention by emitting light, the two did not dare to light the candles in the basement, and could only embrace each other in the dark, praying silently.

The waiting time seemed extremely long.

It seems that a century has passed, and the two sisters who were frightened did not wait for the soldiers who came to search.

Instead, she heard Mrs. Shataya's cries faintly from above.

The two listened for a while, and then realized that the group of gold-robed guards were not here to arrest the two of them, but to search for food.

"Damn it! We can't let them take away our food!" Arya was furious and wanted to crawl out.

"Don't go! You want to kill us!" Sansa hugged her sister tightly and refused to let her go out.

"Let go! You idiot! All the food shops outside are closed. If the food is also taken away, we will starve to death!"

"That's better than being discovered by Lannister!"

The two sisters stalemate for a while, until the movement outside gradually subsided, Sansa let go.

Arya immediately crawled out.

At this time, the gold-cloaked guards had already left. In the yard, Shataya's mother and daughter hugged each other and wept.

"Did they take all the food?" Arya asked.

"Yes, all of them were taken away. It is said that the food in King's Landing will be distributed uniformly. From now on, we can only go to the porridge shop to get a bowl of porridge every day."

"Damn Lannister! Damn old lion!" Arya kept cursing, "When will Caesar come in!"

Sansa quickly stepped forward and covered her sister's mouth, for fear that she would continue to talk nonsense.

King's Landing tonight is destined to be a sleepless city.

After the return of Duke Tywin, he took over the power as a matter of course, and ordered the seizure of the whole city's grain for unified deployment.

In order to prevent the people from rebelling, the Red Castle not only dispatched gold-cloaked guards, but also mobilized tens of thousands of troops to patrol the streets.

This action naturally caused a lot of dissatisfaction and anger, but in front of the heavily armed army, the people of King's Landing could only choose to endure.

But patience has a limit.

Today's King's Landing has accumulated too much anger, like an extremely unstable volcano, on the verge of erupting.

At dawn the next day, the Stark sisters dressed up in disguise and went out to the nearest soup kitchen.

There was already an endless queue, all the people of King's Landing who came to wait for alms.

It was past noon when the two sisters received their share of porridge.

Tired and hungry, the two quickly finished their share, only to find that not only did they fail to fill their stomachs, but they became even hungrier.

Arya rolled her eyes and immediately suggested:

"Let's go to another soup kitchen and line up again!"

"Is this... okay?" Sansa hesitated.

"Why not, they can't remember everyone anyway. Hurry up!"

Sansa rubbed her flat belly, then nodded in agreement with her sister's plan.

The two passed through the Fisherman's Square and walked along the muddy streets.

It was just that when they passed by Aegon High Hill, they saw that countless dirty and unkempt people had already surrounded the red castle standing on the top of the high hill.

People's eyes are full of undisguised hatred.

This is a sea of hungry people, a gloomy and oppressive rage.

"We want bread!" someone hissed.

"Bread! Bread! Bread!" The people kept shouting, and the voices became louder and louder.

The majestic Red Castle is like an isolated island in the sea at this moment. Even if the iron gates are closed tightly, even if the city walls are tall, it will be difficult to stop this monstrous anger.

"We want bread!" Arya excitedly joined the crowd, "We want justice!"

She yelled more and more joyfully, and then she started to carry out her private affairs: "Chaos; bastard, get off the Iron Throne!"

Sansa was frightened and hurriedly covered her sister's mouth.

Arya ignored her, still shouting: "Long live Your Majesty Caesar!"

This sentence has inexplicably received many responses.

Therefore, a series of long live Caesar resounded through the Red Castle, which sounded extremely shocking.

However, this also touched Lannister's most sensitive nerve.

The guarded troops around got the order, began to show their weapons, and rushed towards the rioting crowd.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Arya immediately dragged Sansa to run outside.

Fortunately, the two stayed at the outermost edge and ran fast, so they were not stopped by soldiers.

Behind him came the sound of dense arrows piercing the air, followed by screams and fighting.

Sansa was so frightened that she trembled all over, she didn't dare to look back.

The shrill horn sounded throughout the city, and the streets were full of panicked and angry people.

For a while, it seemed that the whole King's Landing was boiling.

"Let's go home!" Sansa said hurriedly.

After running for a while, my sister suddenly stopped again. She was about to urge, but she heard Arya pointing ahead and saying:

"I remember it was a granary."

"Don't go!" Sansa held her younger sister's arm tightly.

Arya didn't struggle, because she wasn't stupid after all. At this time, the outside of the granary was crowded with hungry and angry people, desperately rushing in, trying to grab food.

But at the same time, the army is also gathering here, and a **** massacre is about to begin.

Rushing in at this time, even if you can grab food, you may not be able to leave safely.

"Let me go." Sansa only wanted to go back.

Arya was not too reconciled: "Look again."

While speaking, the turbulent crowd in front has been stained with blood, and the crazy people have rushed into the granary, and the army no longer restrains, and begins to kill.

The crowd was easily torn through countless gaps, and the unarmed people had no ability to resist in front of the heavily armed soldiers, and were swept away like dead leaves in a storm.

Blood and screams filled the air, making people chill.

Arya was also frightened, and finally stopped being stubborn, obeyed her sister and started to stay away.

And at this moment, they saw a man carrying a grain bag rushing out of the encirclement, his face full of excitement.

But the next moment, this brilliance froze.

A sharp arrow pierced his neck.

Soldiers arrived later and hacked him to death a few more times.

However, when they were about to carry the food back, they found that the bag had a hole in the fight, and what flowed out of it was not the expected food.

Rather, sand.
