The king on the Great Wall

Page 192

He fully opened the paper and brought it in front of him, beckoning the guard holding the oil lamp to come closer, and began to look closely at the contents under the orange flame.

[My name is Hugh, and I have been a servant of the late Prime Minister Jon Arryn for many years. When someone sees this note, I must be dead.

...]

After reading the first line, Iger's heart almost stopped suddenly.

No need to read the following content, he can recite it all by heart - there is no other reason, every sentence and every word above is fabricated and written by him himself, which is exactly what he did to protect the nascent night watchman industry back then. , To prevent it from making random moves due to the chaos of the war... By using the power of rumors, it successfully used the props used by the then imperial chancellor of the exchequer to force Littlefinger to escape from Westeros as a small soldier.

Years passed, after many twists and turns, why did Petyr still keep this note in his hand?Today he suddenly took it out for himself to see, did he discover some clues, or did he have other intentions?

Chapter 541 A false alarm

Iger felt that the underwear on his back was slightly damp and sticky, apparently a little cold sweat oozing out.

Guilty, R'hllor's representative is also a human being, so naturally he cannot avoid this psychological instinct that everyone has. As the instigator, seeing this note suddenly again after many years, he felt more than a "click" in his heart. There was a "boom" - because after many years of practice, his heart has become more stable and stronger, and he is also a little nervous.

What he was afraid of was not Littlefinger, but the chaos caused by the truth of the note incident.

Contrary to the fact that King’s Landing was poor at the beginning of the year and urgently needed some strange tricks that could kill the old master with random punches to disrupt the plot, now I have a big business and a strong army-when I have the upper hand in terms of hard power, Iger’s mentality naturally also occurs. subtle changes.The description can be summed up as follows: now he has changed from being barefoot to wearing shoes, and he is no longer as fearless as he was back then. What he is most worried about now, or what he needs least of all, is confusion and accidents.

The queen's camp is already mixed with good and evil people, if there is another problem with the small alliance between him and Petyr at this juncture, then the series of plans for the southern expedition that he has made ambitiously will probably be postponed indefinitely, or even conceived. I'm dead.

After taking a deep breath to suppress his wild thoughts, Iger realized that he was probably worrying too much.

I was very careful when I did this thing back then: the body of the note was made of ordinary parchment that had been popular in the world of ice and fire before I crossed over, and when writing the content, he also carefully changed the handwriting so that no one would use it to lock the suspect... …From the generation of the idea, the completion of the planning to the completion of the implementation, the whole operation was done by myself from the beginning to the end, and no one was allowed to intervene to help—unless there are characters like the Green Prophet who trace back through extraordinary abilities, otherwise the truth will only be known As far as I know, even "you" doesn't exist, Littlefinger has no reason to relate this matter to himself.

What's more, if a character like Petyr suspects that others are using evil tricks against him, how can he not secretly plan and try to fight back with fire, but confront himself face to face?

In his inner world, he experienced a journey from "being frightened" to "calming down", but in the real world... He just stared at the note for a few seconds, then raised his head with a frown—— The solution and questioning eyes looked at Littlefinger.

"My lord, what... do you mean?"

While pretending to be innocent, he has already made up his mind in his stomach: If the Green Prophet is really involved in this matter, or if Littlefinger has the intention to doubt himself—even if there is only a slight sign, he must kill them even if he fights to the death. Killed.A restless Transcendent, a calculating master of power, such two people are watching and making trouble behind the scenes. Iger can't imagine anything more dizzying than this.

……

"With all my efforts, I couldn't find any clues about who wrote this note." The first half of Littlefinger's sentence made Iger's heart ache again, but the second half immediately made him feel relieved, "But , I dare not judge whether the first appearance of this note was written by Varys, but at this moment, it reappeared in Winterfell, my lord, in your land-grant army, it is definitely his work!"

"Appeared in Winterfell?" Iger raised his eyebrows. Didn't Littlefinger collect it himself?

"This trick is really insidious. First, it can disturb my emotions and thoughts with the gossip of people around me. Second, it reminds Caitlin of what I have done to her sister. It will create an immediate gap between me, the 'bad guy', and the Stark family. There is a estrangement, three times, there is still hope to destroy the relationship and cooperation between you and me." Petyr talked without changing his face, as if the protagonist of this scandal is not himself, "The trick is certainly a coup, But he overlooked one point: after being expelled from Westeros and struggling in Slaver's Bay for several years, my psychological quality has long since changed. And your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, you are not a pedantic and rigid person."

Having said that, he stopped and took a deep look at Iger, as if to confirm whether the last sentence he said was correct: "Although this note is undoubtedly a forgery, most of the content on it is true. It is true that I had an affair with Lysa Tully, and I did secretly give her some poison... I have no intention of defending some shameful and stupid things I did for so-called 'love' when I was young. This trick really made me It's embarrassing, but it's definitely not strong enough to make me unable to do anything next, on the contrary—thinking about the good, doesn't this just prove that the opponent is panicking?"

Littlefinger's eyes reflected the flames of the oil lamp in the dim night, and they shone slightly: "Because we risked releasing Robb Stark... the plan of the Guardians of the North to win over the princes of the Northland for us hit Varys His weak point, both accurate and ruthless, disintegrated his offensive, made him attack us suddenly, and the first-hand advantage of being caught off guard was wiped out, so he will not be reconciled, in order to hold us back, he will hold us back. No matter how good or bad cards are thrown out, we don’t want to break us down, just want to make us overwhelmed and expose more flaws!”

Iger nodded again and again, not to mention that this analysis is indeed reasonable, even if the whole article is nonsense, how can he have the heart to argue at this time.

"The best way to deal with it is actually very simple, that is to hold our ground, not be affected, and continue to do what we should do." Petyr finally concluded, "Of course, with Varys' scheming, this note reappears Yu Shi is afraid that this is just the beginning, and he will definitely have follow-up measures to continue to obstruct, interfere, and even try to harm and destroy you and me. Therefore, my suggestion is that in the next period of time, the two of us are eating You have to be more vigilant in all aspects, such as housing, transportation, etc... Besides, someone has to stand up to the front to guard against the eunuch's tricks, so as to ensure that other tasks can go on smoothly."

"My lord, just give orders." Iger expressed his position very simply.

"The current situation is: we want to do something right, but the opponent wants to stop it. 'Bad things' are much easier than 'doing things'. From this point of view, we are at a natural disadvantage, so we now score points to contain the opponent. , to make up for the weakness in this aspect - doesn't he have a lot of time to think about how to deal with us, we will deal with him in the same way, and find something for him to do." Petyr narrowed his eyes Eyes, "I have been a minister of the same dynasty as Varys for nearly ten years, and I have served two kings together. I am definitely more familiar with his tricks than you... So, I will be responsible for standing in the front and fighting back, and you, except In addition to continuing to keep an eye on the responses of the northern princes, it is best to find out who distributed the note this time when you have time, and if you can find out one or two eunuch minions, that would be great."

"No problem... But, this is not..."

"It's not that the burden is all on me, you don't have many tasks?" Littlefinger smiled slightly and shook his head, "No, although your job is clear and single, it is more important. And, in fact, I really need the commander-in-chief A little favor——Although His Majesty has hundreds of Unsullied in Winterfell, they are absolutely loyal to His Majesty. As the Hand of the Queen, I can certainly send them within certain limits, but I cannot order them to serve you. I will keep it secret or help me deal with the queen's chief of intelligence. Therefore, I hope to borrow a small group of reliable and strict people from the commander-in-chief to help me with... things that the queen cannot know about."

It turned out that Varys had stabbed Petyr in the back, and now Petyr was going to pay back.This pair of black-bellied high-ranking players competed with each other, and in the world of scheming, it can definitely be regarded as a fight between gods. If they can witness and even learn a few tricks, they will definitely benefit a lot.

"Okay, I'll go back and pick the right man, and let the leader come to you, my lord, before midnight."

"There's no need to be so anxious, after breakfast tomorrow." Petyr waved his hand, and thought for a while, it seems that there is nothing to discuss for the time being, "Okay, after talking for a long time, my mouth is dry, and I will stand up again." I'm afraid I'm going to be spotted by Varys' little bird, so let's go - Lord Commander, be careful."

"I will, and so will you, Prime Minister."

Chapter 542 Thirst for Talent

After returning to the office separately from Petyr, Iger immediately summoned his subordinates.

After sending a large number of people to various parts of the northern border to act as envoys, there are actually very few senior officers left in Winterfelling... Of course, the advantage of fewer people and fewer people: at least this meeting will start soon.

"I got the news that this thing appeared in my land-grant army." Iger slapped the note that Littlefinger gave him just now on the table, and pulled his face: "When did this start, why did I become a night watchman?" Commander-in-Chief, will you know one step later than outsiders? I have repeatedly emphasized that you should be vigilant and pay attention to all abnormalities happening around you, are you all ignoring it!"

The officers who were being trained inexplicably looked at me and I looked at you. They didn’t know why the commander-in-chief was angry. No one dared to be the first to answer, and the room fell into silence for a while. Fortunately, Iger knew how to deal with this situation—— - roll call.

"Harvey, you're the first to tell! Did you find out about this?"

Harvey stood up bravely: "I found out..."

"When?"

"Yesterday afternoon, while patrolling the camp, I heard some soldiers discussing this matter."

"Then why didn't you report to me?"

"Because...I didn't realize...that this was a serious enough problem to report to you."

"..." Iger was at a loss for words for a while. This kid is quite clever and knows the best way to get rid of the blame: inexperienced, incompetent, not intentional omission-one who doesn't know is not guilty, this is definitely in the face of accountability Now is the best way to evade, how can I punish myself?Removal, relegation?God is pitiful, he already started from the grassroots, and he is taller than the short, and he has tried his best to select the best people from among the soldiers. In this way, the proportion of officers is actually still low.

"Your Excellency is too harsh on them." Maester Qyburn said. As a technical officer of the Land Grant Army, he usually does not speak at meetings, but this time the number of participants was less than usual, and the leaders of the troops were one after another. He dared not speak like a chick, so he had no choice but to muster up his courage. Relying on his meritorious service in weapon research and development, Yilao made a fool of himself, "Most of these children are from civilian backgrounds, and they will probably just join in the fun when encountering this kind of thing for the first time. I find it interesting, the content on this note is not attacking you, my lord, how could they expect to report it to you!"

What the old man said was the truth, and Iger sighed helplessly in his heart-"political sensitivity" is not literacy and arithmetic after all, and it cannot be developed by simply taking classes and training. I have been immersed in this kind of intrigue since I was a child, and I have to think about everything I do, so I can't have the corresponding intuition and vigilance.

But the problem soon came again. There were a certain number of nobles among the land-grant officers: the largest number was the group of princes and princes who supported Renly's conspiracy and were thrown to the Great Wall after Stannis won. Most of them have been dispatched by him as an emissary to various parts of the northern border, but there are at least two in the house.

"Buckwell, Lake, and the others are from humble backgrounds and have no political sensitivity. Then you two who have surnames, can you explain: why are you as unaware and unreported as them?"

The two royal nobles looked at each other, as if they were using eye contact to discuss who should come out and answer.A few seconds later, Warner Bookwell said with a serious expression: "My lord, we were born in the king's land, and we were the first people in the Seven Kingdoms to hear about this mysterious note when it first appeared in King's Landing. In fact, after so many years, Littlefinger's ugliness... Cough, the fact that the Prime Minister has been anonymously smeared has spread throughout the neck, north and south, and the narrow sea, and everyone in the Seven Kingdoms knows about it. It's nothing new at all. ...it was 'old news' to us, so we didn't take it to heart when we found out that the soldiers below were discussing it."

"But we forgot that most of the land-grant army is composed of new land-grant citizens from outside the Great Wall." Lake said helplessly, "For them, the Queen's former first minister, Commander-in-Chief, you have gone so well this time. It is a very shocking scandal that the very recent Prime Minister has such a black history. In this matter, we lack a sense of responsibility and vigilance, there is no excuse, and we are willing to be punished by the commander."

With an explanation and an active admission of mistakes, it is not easy for Iger to pursue it any longer.After all, in the final analysis, "beware of the opponent's tricks" is Iger's extra expectation of the generals in front of him, and it is not within the scope of their duties-the soldier's bounden duty is to obey unconditionally, but political sensitivity requires thinking.In terms of the conditions of the current era, it is indeed difficult for the army to be politically sensitive and capable of fighting the enemy.

What's more, the justification of Bookwell and Lake is not entirely an excuse: the new land granters have never heard of Littlefinger's scandal - it is normal for ordinary people to not notice such small details , but Varys was able to seize this point and successfully turned the waste of the forged note he forged many years ago into treasure, allowing it to play a round of waste heat. This kind of scheming really makes people shudder.

A problem that has been dragging on for a long time has finally been completely exposed because of this incident, and it has reached the point where it has to be resolved as soon as possible.

That is: as the de facto lord of the land grant, the ruler of one party, Iger only has hard power for the time being, but his soft power is still quite lacking.

He only has an army, but lacks staff and think tanks.

***

When he was the commander-in-chief of the Night Watchman, the whole world was so simple to Iger—as long as he could beat the White Walkers on the battlefield, he was qualified as the commander-in-chief of the Great Wall defenders, and everything else was insignificant details. No one will hold it and no one will care.But now, as he breaks the rules and regulations set by the secular world and formally steps onto the political stage of the Seven Kingdoms, the tests he needs to endure are no longer limited to bloodshed and sacrifice, and the enemies he faces can no longer simply use the method of "destroy" In this case, the problem that he has been shelving or ignoring in the past - the insufficient number of capable people around him who can be trusted, who can discuss major issues, and who can remind him at critical moments... suddenly became prominent.

Immediately after a brief sense of powerlessness, a strong impulse surged out of his chest.

He knows what it's like: thirsty for talents!

Iger is very... no, he desperately needs a few subordinates and staff who are as insightful as Petyr and Varys are, politically sensitive, shrewd and able to make suggestions, so as to ensure that he can be at the game of power Play safely and smoothly.But in this world where education is not yet widespread, the people he knows who meet this condition are either enemies like Varys, or allies and half-superiors like Petyr, or people like Tyrion. The heirs of the great nobles... none of them are people he can recruit, which is really a headache.

Oh no, right now there is indeed a pretty qualified little girl, right here in Winterfell, who has no power, power or social status, and desires to protect and change her own destiny, as long as she ticks her fingers, she will not hesitate put into his command.However, the age and gender of Myrcella's 13-year-old girl made it impossible for Iger to keep her in the army, and her former princess status was so sensitive that he couldn't even introduce her to the queen... ...The more I think about it, the more I regret it. For a moment, Iger would rather not know this little princess.

***

After thinking about it for a while, Iger even vented the anger that was originally brewing, and he couldn't remember which one to train after connecting.

However, he didn't intend to lose his temper at first: the paralysis and slowness of his generals this time really made him unhappy, but he pretended to be very angry in order to make everyone aware of the seriousness of the problem and be alert.The top and bottom of the Land-Grant Army have always been very competent in executing orders and completing combat missions. If the commanders and fighters are excessively reprimanded and punished for reasons other than their duties, it is not only incompetent and furious, but also very low in the long run. It will cause people to betray their relatives, and sooner or later they will dig their own graves.

"Forget it, this time I accept the explanation, and this matter is over."

Iger originally wanted to add that I hope everyone can learn from the lesson and increase their vigilance and sensitivity, but before they leave the mouth, they realize that this is simply relying on the rooster to lay eggs. Whether it can be realized or not, forcing the request will inevitably force the officers to transfer the pressure to the military without thinking. The soldiers might even make the land-grant army "endocrine disorders". They are suspicious all day long, and even the originally good and strong army has deteriorated.

Political tasks should be assigned to someone special, soldiers, as long as they obey orders is enough.

Iger didn't want to waste any more time, and skipped directly to the next agenda: "The turmoil caused by the appearance of this note disrupted the public opinion environment in Winterfell, interfered with the life of the Prime Minister, and indirectly affected Her Majesty the Queen's reunification of seven days. The great cause of the country. Now, I need all the ministries to take care of the people under them - order the whole army to stop discussing and spreading this rumor, and those who violate the military law will be dealt with! If this matter is not done well, I will be held accountable! Do you understand?"

"Understood, my lord."

"Harvey, Myron, Bookwell, and Lyon stay, and the others leave the meeting."

Everyone understood that the following content might involve secrecy, and those who were not mentioned left the room neatly.

"Harvey, Myron. You two are in charge of finding out the whole thing--trying to find out how, when, and how the note got into the Land-Grant Army, and hopefully track down the culprit. Of course, find out Don't act rashly after making eyebrows, and report directly to me, understand?"

"Clear, my lord."

"Go down." Iger waved his hand, and when the two also stood up and walked out of the room quickly, he looked at the last two: "You two, go to see the Prime Minister after breakfast tomorrow. He will arrange some tasks , as long as it does not endanger the interests of the Night Watch Corps and the land-grant, and does not harm the Queen's great cause of unifying the Seven Kingdoms, all will follow orders, and any personnel in any unit other than artillery can be mobilized. The scale of less than 20 people does not need to wait for my approval. highest priority."

"Yes, my lord."

"Besides, the reason why the two of you are required to go is that you have to divide the work: after receiving the instruction from the Prime Minister, Bookwell, you are in charge of arranging and implementing it, and your job, Leon, is to come and inform me as soon as possible , and then go back and meet up with Boukwell. But don't make it too obvious, you know what I mean?"

"Bookewell is in charge of handling the affairs, and I am in charge of letting you, my lord, know what we are going to do as soon as possible, without letting anyone know."

Iger nodded, Littlefinger was an ally for the time being, but he had to guard against it.But his main purpose in making such an arrangement was to realize that rather than expecting a group of soldiers to be clear-headed, it would be better to spend some energy on their own.Until an excellent and reliable deputy is recruited, this is the only way to ensure that similar omissions will not occur again.

Chapter 543

It's really a good reincarnation, the heavens spare no one.

Iger never thought that one day he would have to worry about controlling the influence of the rumors he once spread with his own hands.

The "suicide note" he wrote in the name of the late Sir Hugh in King's Landing, although the method is completely fake, the content is [-]% or [-]% authentic... The first night of taking away the Prime Minister's wife is not explosive Gossip and long-term lover relationship can only be regarded as moral flaws, however—instructing a wife to kill her husband with poison is so shocking that even the people outside the Great Wall who once lived north of the Great Wall and practiced the law of the jungle feel horrified.Forcibly prohibiting people from talking about such a bad thing is like blocking a flood instead of diverting it.

The defense of the people is better than that of Fangchuan, but fortunately - the land-grant army is not a "civilian", but a "soldier", a professional army that has long been trained in obedience and execution; Iger's requirements for them It's not that you completely forget or forgive it, it's just that you don't talk about it loudly in public, and go foolishly run up to slap Littlefinger or spit on him.As long as these two points can be achieved, with Petyr's current status and vision as the Hand of the Queen, he probably doesn't care, let alone bother to consider whether ordinary people like him or not.

Relying on the aura of a hero and the authority of the commander-in-chief, his order was quickly conveyed and carried out, and the second wave caused by the same note was silently suppressed—at least on the bright side so it is.

The next step is to trace the source, and the first result of the feedback exceeded Iger’s expectations: Harvey and Myron led their subordinates around the army, and they collected more than a dozen of the same type of "Shufu" last words"—considering that some of them must be hidden as souvenirs, the actual number is definitely greater.It is impossible for so many notes to be true, but Iger looked around with wide eyes and found that the level of workmanship and details was so high that even he, the original author, could hardly tell the truth from the fake.

The authenticity of the notes is not important, Iger only cares about how they flow in - the holders generally report that they are picked up, and Varys is very smart in this matter and also chose this non-contact method of information transmission To ensure safety, but this does not mean that the matter is completely impossible to investigate: with the high position and recognition of the "Queen's Intelligence Chief" of Octopus, it is difficult for him to do it quietly like Iger did back then... If you want to avoid risks, you will inevitably use your subordinates, and as long as there are more people involved in anything, the amount of clues and traces left behind will explode exponentially.After a large number of visits and investigations, in the end, the testimony of the soldiers pointed to an unexpected but reasonable object.

On the day when a large number of notes suddenly appeared in Winterfell, the master of the Dreadfort entered the castle with an excuse. Several of his followers were later witnessed wandering around where the note appeared, and one of them was even recognized by Iger's subordinates: Ke Li Xuenuo, who was instructed by Roose Bolton to go to Houguan Town to "leak" information to Iger that the northern border was preparing to deal with the Night Watchman a month ago, and tried to win him over the informer who overthrew the Stark family.

At that time, in order to prevent the news of the land-grant army's surprise attack on Winterfell from leaking out, Iger sent his subordinates to put the group under house arrest and ordered them to be released three days after the land-grant army officially started marching south.Now that this person reappeared in Winterfell, and the timing was so accurate, it became easy to deduce and restore what happened: Varys, who also had no military power and therefore had insufficient men, wanted to take care of the whole He and Petyr slowed down their pace of winning over the northern princes to prepare for the southern expedition, and they couldn't let the Unsullied take action, so they went to his newly recruited ally, Roose Bolton.As a large landowner in the far north, the Dreadfort probably has fewer people available than the Land Grant Army, so Lao Bopi handed over the task to the illegitimate boy Iger had seen.

This makes sense, but even if the guess is true, Iger can't react to it: After all, this is just a public opinion attack, and the materials used are not even made up. Even if the murderer is caught and sent to the queen, Daenerys Ruth would probably just frown and ask Varys and Roose Bolton to stop attacking her Prime Minister for the greater good.Such an innocuous result was obviously not what he wanted, so Iger told Littlefinger the truth of the investigation results, and then began to look forward to: how the latter will retaliate.

……

Littlefinger moved very quickly. The Land Grant Army, who has efficient communication links and experience in public opinion control, soon began to spread a rumor that was less terrifying, but more eye-catching. The general content is as follows:

[The queen's chief intelligence officer, Varys, was also a lover. When he was young, he had a wife. Although they were not husband and wife, they were miraculously close.It is a pity that love cannot overcome the practical difficulties of the incomplete "important parts" of the body. The couple cannot conceive a child, so they spend a lot of money to seek a child, find the head of the golden group, and "borrow" a baby boy.Unfortunately, his mother died due to dystocia, so this boy who had no mother since he was a child was taken care of by his two fathers "in name" and "biology", and at the right time when he was close to adulthood, he was born as Aegon The identity of Targaryen re-landed in Westeros, trying to pretend to be the king of the Seven Kingdoms. 】

This special code is too easy to edit, right?

Iger was stunned for a few seconds after listening to the story first, and his admiration for Petyr became even greater in his heart: this rumor seems obscene and obscene, but it is actually quite cleverly conceived.Not only did he divert everyone's attention by attacking poison with poison, but he also blacked out his opponents and potential enemies in one breath: Prince Aegon is a fake, Varys is the husband of the boy's mother as an eunuch, and Golden Ball The boss is throwing his head and blood for a son who neither recognizes him nor takes his surname!

This new story contains physical disabilities, psychological distortions and crazy ambitions, and integrates many explosive elements such as ethics, politics, love and hatred. He emphasized Varys' physical defects and made a big fuss about it.

Just like people living outside the Great Wall had never heard of Littlefinger's scandal, people outside the Great Wall also didn't know that Varys, the queen's chief intelligence officer, was a eunuch. There will be repeated dialogues in Winterfell in these two days:

A: "Why can't Varys and his wife have children?"

B: "Because he has no eggs."

A: "Ah? Why."

B: "There are so many reasons, they were cut off."

The mocking and slanderous intentions that are so strong that they are almost overflowing are just side dishes. What is even more terrifying is that if you accept the setting of this story, the real origin of Prince Aegon, the purpose of the eunuch trying to persuade the queen to marry his nephew, and the golden group is willing to take risks. The motivation to support the prince's seizure of the throne... everything suddenly became reasonable-two big men...no, one man and one eunuch are just trying to create good living conditions for their "common son"!

It is true that both Daenerys and young Aegon himself would quickly understand that this news is complete nonsense with a little research.But the power of the rumor is that it has completed its mission the moment it spread, and even if the rumor is refuted afterwards, the impact it has already caused cannot be recovered.

The world is all for exciting stories, but not for clarification and explanation.It is conceivable that once this story spreads from Winterfell, it may be difficult for Prince Aegon to look directly at Varys, the number one hero who silently supported him.

……

Relying on a more explosive and vicious rumor, Littlefinger recovered from the first round of counterattack in the public opinion war.But the reality is not a turn-based game where you hit me, and the Queen's Hand has no intention of waiting to see the opponent's reaction—the discussion in the city about something missing between Varys' legs has not subsided, and Petyr has already commanded With the help of the manpower borrowed from Iger, the second round of retaliatory active attacks began.

This time, the "battlefield" is outside the city, and the target has also changed. In the "quiet and peaceful" winter shelter city, there is sudden explosive news: several soldiers from the Dreadfort forcibly broke into a family of Stark family members. In his home, he tried to rape the wife of the head of the household, but was stopped and captured on the spot by the land-grant army and the patrolling Unsullied, who were tied up and sent to the queen.

The above is the plot of the story from the uninformed third-party perspective, but because it was lent to Petyr, Iger can actually... fully and clearly grasp the ins and outs of the matter from the first-party perspective.

-

Chapter 544

Because Iger preemptively "persuaded" the Stark family to surrender to Daenerys, the Bolton army, which was gearing up to overthrow the mountain above its head, lost its combat target when it arrived at the destination; and the Queen's illusory goal of "ruling the North", The opportunity for this powerful army to go south to spread its anger on the other six countries was also temporarily deprived; in addition, after Winterfell accommodated the Unsullied and the two dragons, it could no longer receive more people, so it was forced to live outside the city. The elite Dreadfort stationed in the deserted farm have endured physical and psychological torments and tests, and have long been in a state of turmoil.

On the day of the incident, a small team left the camp to buy wine and meat from the local residents in the town for winter shelter to improve the food of the military camp. Somewhere in the town, there is news that there is a place where skin and meat are being traded, and you can "have fun"... So, this group of energetic men with nowhere to go followed the instructions and came to a tall house that looked normal from the outside In front of him, there was a knock on the door.
