The king on the Great Wall

Iron Emmett, captain of the rangers at Eastwatch and number one of Carter Pike's thugs, hadn't had much to drink.The boss took Jon Royce and his party to Castle Black to participate in the campaign, and he was left to act as the commander of Eastwatch.

He didn't have the prestige to order his brothers not to drink and eat meat or to brag, so he simply didn't stand out and became a villain.But he is clear: the more half of the brothers in this fortress are immersed in partying and feasting, the more someone has to stay awake—to keep an eye on the defenses on the Great Wall, lest the White Walkers or the wild people outside the Great Wall who have not yet surrendered take the opportunity to come Attacked, broke through this key fortress, and caused a catastrophe.

The sentinels on the top of the wall also drank some wine, and at this moment they were gathering together in threes and twos with rosy faces. High fault tolerance rate: As long as the sentinel does not sleep, it is completely impossible for the outrageous situation of "the enemy has climbed up and not noticed".

Instructed to make an inspection, stood on the top of the wall and looked at the ghost forest. Immet went down the stairs and went back to the ground, and then entered the guard tower next to the wall. He also reminded the brothers guarding the ground of the fortress. After there were no major mistakes in the defense, he left with confidence.

As he passed the Great Hall, he came face to face with Maester Harmon of Eastwatch.

The "mouthpiece" of this fortress is not at all what a maester should be: he is fat and drunk all day long, holding a cup in his hand, his face is flushed, and he even staggers when he walks.

"Hamun." Immet was already used to his appearance, and suppressed his disgust and sighed: "Did any ravens fly here today?"

"Hmm..." Harmon opened his eyes in a daze, and shook his head as if trying to get rid of the alcohol in his mind: "It seems that a letter from Castle Black has arrived."

"Then why didn't you report the content?"

"Well... I was unloading the letter from the raven's leg at the time, and as soon as I put it back in the cage, the brothers from Houguan Town arrived. I put the things down and came to help... move the things——Hic -"

"It's moving to the bar!" Immet frowned in disgust, "I know you're an alcoholic, and everyone just doesn't bother to talk about you, but you're a Bachelor of Eastwatch after all, can you finish your job before drinking? From Raven of Castle Black, in case there is an urgent order, can you take responsibility if something goes wrong? Where is the letter?"

"Hi-I got it, pay attention next time." If the critic was Carter Parker, Harmon might still take it seriously, but the acting conductor...is also dictating the maester?He shrugged nonchalantly, and continued walking towards the hall with the cup in his hand: "The letter... is either under the cage of the crow, or on my desk. You... go find it yourself."

Shaking his head annoyed, Immet suppressed the urge to beat the guy up and hurried to the bachelor's cabin.After a lot of tossing around, he found the note that was sent from Castle Black today, still in a roll.Open it and start reading word by word under the dim light of the oil lamp.

Immet's reading ability is very average. It took him a while to read the entire content of the letter. After he understood what happened, he swallowed and knew that something was wrong.

Castle Black was under siege, and Carter Pike was trapped and unable to escape, so he sent this letter to warn Eastwatch: beware of any outsiders—especially the actions of the Night Watch's logistics department.

No one is allowed to enter the fortress without orders!

The bachelor who should have informed everyone of this news in time, but at the moment when the "labor army" team from Houguan Town arrived, he left the crow's nest excitedly to carry meat and wine, and participated in the subsequent dinner. Drunk until drunk, did not convey the news to the brethren!

I performed my duties like walking on eggshells, guarding against the ghosts and wildlings, but I didn't expect that the threat would eventually come from "my own people" in black.Donghaiwatch, which was supposed to raise its alert immediately after getting the news and seal it off to the outside world, did not hesitate to let in dozens of soldiers from the logistics department and mountain clansmen just because of the negligence of a drunkard. If they had malicious intentions, That fortress has already fallen at this moment.

He slapped the letter on the table, grabbed the sword, and rushed out of the bachelor's hut—only a few dozen people got in, and Eastwatch had more than 100 soldiers. Brother, they still have a chance to take back control of the fortress!

But the scene in front of him made him lower his hand: under the background sound of the noisy dinner party, the door of Donghai Watch has been opened.The guard stood by the door and laughed and laughed with the logistics officer of Houguan Town, just watching several empty carts pulled by oxen or horses, and dozens or hundreds of mountain clansmen filed in through the door and squeezed into the building. A defenseless port fortress.

Chapter 304 Ice Scar City and Amber's Daughter

Except for Arya who was extremely dissatisfied because she didn't see the giant heart tree at the bottom of the well, the visit of the northern inspection team to the Long Nightfort was considered complete... However, after resting here for a night, they set off again, and the next step is real challenge.

They were about to inspect villages and strongholds populated by "wildlings," or new land-grants.

Emotionally speaking, Iger can't wait to use all the mountain clan people as extras to fool this test.But the concern that the fire cannot be covered by paper is one aspect, and on the other hand... there are not so many idle mountain people in the land grant, and the current financial situation of the night watchman industry does not allow willful big moves.

Not to mention - in fact, he has spent a lot of thought on remote control of another... a big action that is likely to determine the outcome of this land-grant power struggle.

There are many things, and Iger is not completely inactive. He still takes some measures to ensure that there are no major mistakes in the inspection: the route is carefully planned to ensure that only those who originally lived far from the Great Wall and clashed with the northerners There are few tribes who also use a common language culturally and are more cooperative in the implementation of the land-grant resettlement plan.

Choosing the right route is just a good start. On this basis, Iger also made a series of arrangements to distract and attract the attention of the northern inspection team as much as possible when they arrived, so as to prevent them from looking around and asking, and unconsciously A bunch of issues were found that made them feel bad about the land grant resettlement programme.

***

Icescar City, an abandoned fortress jointly settled by five medium-sized new land-grant tribes.The snow that started a few days ago is getting bigger and bigger, and it has no intention of stopping at all. In the white cold wind, for the first time in thousands of years, the ruler of the northern border has contacted a large-scale non-hostile population. .

It is also at the foot of the Great Wall, and it is also an ancient night watchman castle, but the atmosphere of the team is completely different from visiting the Long Night Fort. Before they really entered it, the guards brought by the northern border families cheered up under the reminder of their respective leaders , checked the equipment, adjusted the position of the weapon, and tensed the string in their minds to be vigilant—they were all afraid that if they were not careful, their lord would end up like Jeor Mormont.

……

"The biggest difference between the new land-grant people's fortress and the mountain clan people is that the stairs leading to the top of the Great Wall were not rebuilt or repaired, and the logistics department did not allocate funds or provide resources for building walls. The former is to ensure that the Great Wall is completely in the Under the control of the Night's Watch itself or a reliable ally, the latter is to ensure that the Legion will definitely have the upper hand militarily in any possible land-grant internal conflict."

Knowing that all the princes in the north didn't trust the people outside the Great Wall, Iger simply gave up on convincing everyone that "the new land-grant people are reliable", but did the opposite: while walking towards Icescar City, he introduced It is necessary to arrange more measures to prevent the newly granted land residents from rebelling.Needless to say in detail, the scene of the settlement in front of me can already explain everything: the low fence made of sticks and branches can only be used to prevent wild animals, it is dilapidated, and no one can exceed five Residential buildings with a height of one meter, as well as deserted and deserted courtyards and corridors between houses with few people...

Covered by the vast expanse of white snow, the Bingscar City, which has been inhabited for several months, still looks like a ruin.

They were all abandoned fortresses of the night watchmen, but there was such a big gap between the residences of the newly granted landmen and the castles of the mountain clansmen.Among them, the poor foundation is one reason. In addition, the former residents outside the Great Wall are used to living in no fixed place, and now they have settled down and have no sense of "home", and half of them are young and middle-aged. To feed oneself... Subjective and objective factors are brought together, and no one has the intention to build. This is the real reason why this settlement is still desolate.

Of course, this place is not as miserable as it looks, but the weather is too cold and there is not much food in abundance. Most residents hide in the house to sleep to save energy, and the white snow only strengthens the visual experience of desolation.

The ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her parents-in-law. Ordinary residents can hide in their houses and do nothing, but the head of the tribe cannot see the master of the northern border. Fur, alone or with three or two entourages, stand sparsely on the edge of the fence of the fortress, and form a team to meet the Lord of the North.

……

It is very strange. For many years, the Seven Kingdoms have been another world beyond the high wall at the end of the world to the people outside the Great Wall. They are imaginary enemies and objects of hatred. Occasionally, they can also become sharpened knives for "heroes" to prove their courage. The source of stone, metal products and new female members, who would have thought that with the passage of time, they would suddenly become citizens of the Seven Kingdoms.

The change of identity is just a matter of surrender, but the change of mentality and inherent concepts cannot be completed in a short period of time. Facing a bunch of high-level nobles among the "people who kneel" that they once despised, a sense of weirdness arises spontaneously.

This sense of weirdness brought about an awkward atmosphere.

If the patriarch of the Flint clan is just a bit stupid, then the leaders of the five newly gifted land tribes are completely speechless...Try to introduce yourself according to Iger's previous guidance, and briefly report the situation of the fortress, the leaders Soon there was a situation of forgetting the words and not knowing how to continue the conversation.

Fortunately, Iger was present, and of course the chief person in charge of the land-grant resettlement plan would not just watch the atmosphere go down like this. Before more than half of the people felt uncomfortable, he answered in time: "There are a lot of young and strong people among the new land-grant residents. They all went to Houguan Town to seek work, so this place looks...well, some people are sparsely populated, but overall, order and law have begun to extend here and start to work. However, let’s put these aside for today. Now, I want to take everyone first to meet someone."

who?All the nobles in the northern border were curious, but out of trust and at least respect for Iger, and because the weather was really fatal, they didn't have too many doubts. Surrounded by the guards, a group of people were led away by him Entered the "gate" of Ice Mark City.Under the uneasy eyes of the new land dwellers who looked into the surrounding low houses and half-buried tents, they walked towards the ruins of the main castle where the night watchmen were originally stationed here, opened the curtain made of thick fur, and entered it.

The core building of the entire fortress should have three floors and a height of more than ten meters when it was intact. Now the upper two floors have been dilapidated and collapsed, and the remaining one is still relatively complete. ...Although it is a bit empty, it is unexpectedly warm and comfortable compared with the ice and snow outside.

This place is usually a gathering place for the five tribal leaders to discuss important matters and exchange daily necessities with each other. Now that the northern delegation is visiting, it has been used as a guest house by Veng Kong.

Right now, a middle-aged woman and two teenage boys were sitting on a stool by the fireplace. Seeing Iger leading someone in, they stood up quickly and looked at the crowd with their hands tied.

Robb looked at the three of them, but didn't see any difference between them. He looked back at Iger suspiciously: "Where is the person we want to meet?"

Iger smiled lightly, but did not directly answer the question: "Lord Morse Amber, I remember that when you visited Last Hearth City last time, you yelled at me angrily and said that the wildlings took your only daughter...you still Remember this?"

This hint was too obvious, and Morse Amber, who was standing in the crowd with a bored expression, was startled and stared closely at the woman standing by the fireplace.

……

The total population of the Northern Territory is only so small, and the few great nobles always unite with each other under the Stark family to advance and retreat together, and news of any family's troubles will spread quickly.Among those present, except for Robb who was not yet born when the incident happened, the rest of the people who were named had heard of the unfortunate accident that happened to Amber's family... They all showed surprise expressions immediately, and they were all in unison. He looked at several representatives of the Amber family.

Greatjon Umber turned his head and stared at Iger, his eyes wide open: "What do you mean? You mean, the person in front of us is my uncle's daughter, my long-lost sister?"

Iger shrugged: "At least that's what she calls herself. Isn't it the most convenient way to identify Mr. Morse here?"

……

The nobles in the northern region lost their composure immediately. While patting the icicles and snowflakes on their bodies, they started discussing in a hurry.Quite a few people present had seen Morse's daughter in those days.But that was 20 years ago. At that time, what they saw was a young and energetic noble lady like Arya standing next to Robb at the moment, but what they saw in front of them now was It is a "middle-aged savage woman" with a sallow, thin face and a weathered face... It is hard to believe that they are the same person.

"My lords, be quiet!" After a few seconds of commotion, Robb suppressed the scene, frowned and asked the person involved: "Morse, is there any way you can recognize your daughter? Or, this What proof do you have, madam, that you are Morse Umber's daughter?"

The woman looked nervously at the group of northern princes, but in fact she could no longer recognize any of them. She pulled two teenagers and turned to the man who should be her father, but actually she didn't even know her very well. The one-eyed man walked a few steps, and she whispered, "Father, the day I was taken away, I had a quarrel with you at breakfast, and the last thing you said to me was--'Go away, brat, don't let me I'll see you again'. I was like, if you don't see me, I'm going to go somewhere you'll never find it, and make you regret it for the rest of your life... Then, I stole my favorite filly and sold it After entering the city and riding northward for a few miles, I was ambushed by a raiding party, who tripped their horses and seized me, plundered several small villages far from the castle, and then forced me to join them on the way to the city. The north crossed the Great Wall and returned to the tribe. After that, I lived with them until Mance Rayder surrendered with all the free folk, and I returned to the south of the Great Wall."

The sentence that Morse regretted for more than 20 years after he said it obviously made him unforgettable all his life. Only one of the northern nobles who hated people in the inspection group was wet in the eye sockets. Beyond the Great Wall has experienced more than 20 years of trials and hardships, and now the daughter who said that her sister is believed by others took two steps, and her voice began to tremble: "I'm sorry, dear..."

"I didn't intend to interrupt this touching reunion." Roose Bolton said abruptly at this moment, "I don't doubt the authenticity of the story, but these may also be Morse's real daughters who were kidnapped Confidential content to other people after the past. Do you have any evidence that is not easy to falsify, such as birthmarks and scars, that can prove your identity?"

"I have a very protruding mole on my lower back, and it hurts when I press it hard...so I always like to sleep on my side or on my stomach." The woman replied without thinking, "If necessary, I will wait for no one I can show you, Father."

Morse had only one daughter, and it was naturally impossible to forget her features.Now without any hesitation, he strode forward, and pulled his daughter into his arms vigorously, regardless of the eyes of the people around him. The movement was so big that one couldn't help but suspect that he would strangle her to death, and put the woman beside her. Both children took half a step back in fright.

He was clearly a hulking man who was half a head taller than Iger. He was a tough guy one moment, but he choked up so quickly that he could hardly speak: "I said angry words that day, my dear, please forgive me... I know... I know nothing can erase the pain you have suffered for so many years, but since fate brought you back to me, I swear, I will never let you be hurt by anyone again!"

The woman also shed tears quickly: "No, it's me, father, who should ask for forgiveness. It's my own waywardness that caused God to punish me...I'm really sorry, sorry..."

So, as Lao Bopi said, a touching reunion began under the watchful eyes of everyone.The father and daughter hugged each other and said words of self-reproach, and they separated after a while. At this moment, Morse Amber noticed the two teenagers standing at a loss: "These two are mine. grandson?"

"Well, one is named Angus and the other is Benny. I came up with the names. Children, they are called Grandpa."

"Where's their goddamn father?"

"Die while attacking the Wall with Mance Rayder."

"Dead?" Morse gritted his teeth at first, but unfortunately there was no one to vent his anger on. In the end, he could only sigh: "Dead is good, even if I don't die, I will kill him today."

After thinking about it, he probably felt that it was inappropriate to say that he wanted to kill their father in front of his grandson, so he shut up, regardless of whether the two children didn't know him at all, and pulled them over to hug him: "Good boys, don't Worry, it's all over. When this tour is over, you'll come back to Last Hearth with me—hey, Jon, are you all right, boy?"

It's impossible for the uncle's two grandsons to grab the Umber family's inheritance, so what should Greatjon worry about?Finally, the Earl of Hearth City spread his hands: "No objection, as long as you are happy."

***

Iger's plan worked, and the rhythm of the inspection of Icescar City was completely disrupted by this reunion. The northern princes completely forgot about the newly gifted land tribes, and gathered around the Morse father and daughter to ask questions. ...After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Roose Bolton was the first to react. First, he let a group of tribal leaders disperse, and then ordered the guards of the inspection team to start arranging the defense of the foothold. Finally, he signaled Iger to make arrangements for the reception. .

It's a good thing Morse's bond with his daughter is stronger than expected.Iger was secretly delighted.He has a little notebook of all the things that need to be done, but are too trivial to forget-finding a daughter for "Crowfood" Morse is one of them, and he ordered this work to start before returning from the North , and soon got good news when they returned to Castle Black with Robb and the others.

It wasn't for nothing that things went so quickly and smoothly—in fact, it wasn't Egger's men who found Morse Umber's daughter at all: long before Mance Rayder surrendered his wildling army to the Night's Watch, Umber When her daughter's tribe was assigned to live in Bingshen City, she revealed her identity to the person in charge of the logistics department stationed at the place of residence.But the result is obvious: the staff Iger brought from the south did not know the members of the nobles in the north, less than ten people had to manage the affairs of the entire fortress, and they were already very busy. At this time, there was a ragged, The savage woman with a face full of signs of time suddenly ran to say that she was the daughter of a great nobleman in the northern border, and asked the logistics department to send someone to take her home. Whose responsibility would this matter...will immediately take it seriously?

The logistics department didn't take her words seriously, she could have rushed back to Last Hearth City by herself... However, the Night Watchmen have very strict management of the newly granted land residents, and leaving the residence without authorization is a very serious violation.So, the daughter of Morse Amber, after returning to Great Wall South after a lapse of 20 years, was still orphaned and widowed for several months, until Iger ordered to search for her within the land-grant area... The logistics officer of Ice Mark City remembered her existence and reported the situation to the headquarters.

For Amber's daughter, the initial neglect of her by the Night Watch's logistics department made her and her two children suffer for several months, but for Iger, the timing was just right to find her.When the northern princes visited Icescar City, they sent it to Morse. Not only did they buy at least one more night of preparation time for the newly gifted land residents, but they also transferred the most hated savage among so many nobles. One's attention... What's more important is that the logistics department has arranged for a reliable person to communicate with Amber's daughter in advance - Iger hopes that through this northern female nobleman who has lived outside the Great Wall for half her life, she will quietly Convey a message that is extremely beneficial to the land-grant resettlement plan: the immigrants from outside the Great Wall, the free people or "savages", and the residents of the Seven Kingdoms are not as different as ordinary people imagine.

Chapter 305 The Poisonous Insect and the Commander

The residences of the newly donated land residents did not hoard resources. Fortunately, the logistics department had already shipped the ingredients and chefs one day in advance.There are no worries about eating and drinking, and the reunion of the Amber family's father and daughter has greatly eased the embarrassment of sharing the same room with the "savages" from outside the Great Wall - Bingshen City's reception banquet for the princes of the northern border is simple but not simple. Enthusiastic but not negligent, at least nothing went wrong at the very beginning.

At night, the members of several families in the northern border allocated rooms in the "guest house" and began to rest, and the accompanying guards also began to take turns to watch the night under the arrangement of their respective leaders.

It can't be seen on the surface, but at this moment, there are thousands of newly gifted land dwellers in Bingshen City, men, women and children.The northern inspection team will spend the night surrounded by this group of newly gifted land dwellers who they are more accustomed to call savages. The soldiers on duty all have their ears pricked up, vigilantly monitoring every plant and plant in their surroundings. Wood.

There was a faint howl of wolves in the distance, other than that there was the howling of the cold wind, and the occasional muffled sound of snow falling from the roof of the building and hitting the ground... The Nighthawks shifted from shift to shift, The worrying mob raids at night did not happen at all, until the cloud-covered sky slowly began to light up, and an unexpected visitor, who was completely unexpected in appearance and identity, came from outside the fortress.

……

"Someone arrived from the west and went directly into the main castle to find the nobles in the north?" No need to know more, just listening to the guard's description, Iger immediately realized that the visitor was not kind: "Have you heard someone call his name? What does it look like, are there any obvious features?"

"I didn't hear what it was called, but it looked like I had trekked a long way, my body was covered in hardened snow, I couldn't even speak because of the cold, I had to negotiate with the guards for a while, and finally was put in."

(Could it be that the messenger sent by the Shadow Tower has arrived? I asked Kent to deliver the letter overnight to prepare for the operation, and now the opponents also responded with an eye for an eye, using the same trick to catch me by surprise?)

Iger frowned: He was mentally prepared for this, but the messenger could come so quickly in this snowy day, which still exceeded his expectations—the disadvantage of not building a wall in Ice Scar City suddenly appeared : Even if I have the ability to reach the sky, I can't completely seal off a huge settlement.When I reported to Robb, I said it was deliberately arranged like this, but the fact is that thousands of new land grantees were resettled in this fortress that only guarded a few hundred night watchmen back then, and the building materials for repairing and living houses were barely enough. There is nothing left to build a wall with.

……

Originally waking up early with a relaxed mind and body, I wanted to confirm that the next five tribes were ready for the inspection and inquiry of the nobles in the northern border. Who would have heard bad news as soon as I went out, and most of my enthusiasm was extinguished immediately. Iger turned and went back. Let's go, I plan to seize the time to gather my confidantes, activate the backup plan, and sort out the speeches I have already prepared by the way.

"Master, morning!" A crisp and energetic voice sounded as they hurried through the yard.

"Arya?" Iger looked around, but he didn't see Miss Stark's guard, and immediately put on a straight face: "Did no one tell you that this place is not safe, don't run around alone."

"I didn't run around, I just wanted to walk around before breakfast and see what the savages look like." Arya originally greeted Iger happily, but it turned out that he came up for a general training and immediately pouted : "Besides, I'm with you now, what's so unsafe!"

"They are not called savages now, they are called new grantees." Iger corrected the girl's mistaken statement, "I have business to do now, so you go back to the main castle to find your brother obediently, and don't come out alone."

"You are so annoying, don't worry about it."

Arya stomped aggrievedly, turned around and walked towards the main castle, but Iger turned his head at this moment, and suddenly recalled the greatest use of this girl's identity: "Hey, come back, let me tell you something."

"Why?" The girl wanted to ignore him in a fit of anger, but it didn't work against Iger with the cold war a few times. After thinking about it, she still reluctantly turned around.

Iger approached and whispered: "Just now someone came from the west and entered the main castle to find your brother. Go and help me find out who it is, and listen to what they talked about. Come and tell me later."

"You don't want to be ashamed, you don't say it's safe when you want me to be a spy for you! I don't, I'll go back to my room now, so as not to be accused of running around again."

"Hey, don't yell!" Egra stopped Arya, who was about to leave, and rubbed her shoulders: "Okay, I just blamed you, can't I apologize? Be good, do me a favor, master I will hurt you later!"

"Fuck you, is it disgusting?" Knowing that the other party was coaxing herself, she lost her temper instantly when he rubbed her. Arya didn't do anything to this thick-skinned master, and made a vomiting expression, her eyes The son turned around: "You can ask me to eavesdrop, if you have a chance, take me to see that tree!"

"Okay, okay, next time you go to the Long Night Fort, I promise to show you enough!"

***

Even in the same family, there is no second person who can eavesdrop on Robb Stark's conversation with others like this: Catelyn Stark is not good at acting too abnormally as an adult; Sansa Notoriously gentle and obedient; Bran Stark, even before his fall, only had a special hobby of climbing walls... and Rickon was still a child, not to mention.

Only Arya, the second young lady who was known by everyone in Winterfell to run around, was favored and often erratic, and she would not arouse suspicion wherever she appeared.

The most wanton spy in history walked carelessly to the door of his brother's room, made a silent gesture to the guards on guard to signal them not to speak, then carefully pushed open a crack in the door and slipped in.

Inside the house, the princes of the northern border had just been summoned by the lord to meet a guest from afar: Jon Royce.

The former Earl of Runestone City finally made the right bet. He set off from Castle Black yesterday and drove along the north wall of the Great Wall for a day. He was completely undetected by the White Walkers or the dead—of course, he might have been discovered It's just that those ghosts are too lazy to get close to the Great Wall in order to attack a mere living person.In short, miraculously, he did not encounter any danger or trouble, crossed several fortresses before dark, and finally climbed up the ice wall with the help of the sentry guards on the top of the wall in Shimenzhai, which Iger hadn't passed through at all.

After a brief rest, he immediately went on the road again, and with his hatred and determination to never let his enemy go his way, he returned east from Shimenzhai overnight, and finally arrived here at dawn.

Although he became the opponent in King Robert's "counter-rebellion" against the Valley, Yon was after all an old friend of Ed Stark, and Robb Stark put on black clothes for the now-convicted man. The boss reserved some respect, received him politely, and listened to what he had to say.

"Lord Royce, you must have been exhausted after driving all night. Why don't you go down and change your clothes and eat something. We will seriously discuss what you said and respond as soon as possible."

This is the process that I don’t want to hear them discussing. Jon was born a nobleman, so he naturally understood Robb’s meaning, nodded in agreement, glanced at a row of northern nobles with different expressions sitting in the chair next to him, and exited. out of the house.

……

This temporary "master bedroom" for the guards of the northern border was originally the arsenal of the night watchmen in Icescar City. It has a large space, and the door is also some distance from the inside. The people of the North did not find Arya hiding behind the curtain of the partition wall.

Robb Stark encountered this situation for the first time, and he frowned and thought for a while before speaking: "Everyone heard what Lord Royce said just now... I don't know what you think about it, my lords view?"

"I've known Yon for quite some time. Although the last time we dealt with each other was on the battlefield, but what happened to Lysa Tully... Everyone knows it well. I don't think he is a liar." Karstark muttered Said, "If what he said is true, then it would be a bit... outrageous for Iger to do these shitty things under your banner."

Roose Bolton glanced at Karstark blankly, then turned to look at Robb: "I want to ask first, did Iger report these situations to you?"
