When Ed and Lan returned to the Prime Minister's Tower, the originally solemn and orderly entrance to the tower had become a mess.
This place is a bit difficult to leave, let alone a horse.
Needless to say, this is the credit of Jory Kelso.
After Eddard returned to the Prime Minister's Tower, he rewarded and praised the guard captain for his efforts and loyalty, and explained the current situation and would take them back to Winterfell in the north. , summoning vassals to prepare for war.
It stands to reason that Robert, as the leader of the Seven Kingdoms, should be more than adequate to the Lannister West.
But war is not simply about showing off the horses and horses.
No one knows how many families Tywin Lannister has befriended and controlled with his own gold mines over the years.
No one knows how many people still secretly miss the days when they were ruled by the Targaryen family.
And one thing everyone knows is that when Robert wants to defeat Lannister, he will definitely not face just a Lannister, the Duke of the West.
That’s why Ed Stark urgently returned to the north to gather troops to prepare for a big war that would probably engulf the entire kingdom.
"Sansa, you and Arya stay in King's Landing. This time is not for fun. We have to march quickly and there is going to be a war."
Ed gave instructions to the panicked eldest daughter. He was sitting there while sorting out the scrolls, documents, and seals on his desk.
The dragon bone dagger was inserted into his waist.
Sansa is not a strong character, and she usually doesn’t refute Ed’s orders.
I was timid and had to agree immediately.
But Ed not only has an obedient daughter, but also an active and bold daughter.
"There's going to be a war"
Arya's face showed worry at first. Unlike the worry on Sansa's face, she was really worried about Lan En. More than bloody and cruel.
She is worried that the world will become a chaotic and violent world.
But at the same time, there was an eagerness to try in the little girl's eyes. She was born with the blood of a wolf who yearns for adventure.
"Can I go with you? I can do a quick march. I can hold on. Please, dad, let me see."
Aliya pulled on Ed's pants and made A pleading gesture.
But Ed had already expected how difficult this little daughter would be.
"Don't even think about it, Alia. I know exactly what hardships you can endure when you grow up so big, whether it's a forced march or the obstacles and dangers you may encounter on the road. I can't possibly take you with you. "Enter."
After finishing speaking, Ed turned around and left. Although his departure was a forced march, he did have too many things that he had to carry with him because of his high position.
As Ed went downstairs from the study room, he felt a little strange. Aria seemed to be particularly easy to kill today.This kind of request will not stop until it takes half an hour.
But after all, the situation was in a hurry, and the Prime Minister had no time to think about his daughter's abnormality, so he could only step up and immerse himself in action.
"Qiao Li, go to the palace cellar and help Lan En pack the keel and take it away. That is the king's reward for him. You have to move quickly, we will set off in an hour"
< p>"Yes, my lord."When Eddard followed Robert from the north to King's Landing, their long caravan could stretch several miles along the way.
Now, traveling lightly and simply, there are about twenty people equipped with two horses, and a large cart is responsible for transporting things. Mainly a giant dragon mandible.
The mandible is so rugged and ferocious that even the edge of it hangs down to the ground when it is placed on the carriage.
Fortunately, the dragon skeleton is relatively light due to flight, otherwise it may affect the forward speed.
The bones of Balerion, the Black Death God, this mandible alone has taken up more than half of the space of the cart.
There is actually Balerion's entire skull in the palace cellar, but the size of a mammoth's head that could be swallowed in one gulp is a bit exaggerated.
In order to ensure the speed of action and Lan En’s estimated carrying capacity, this mandible is the limit.
More than 20 people and more than 40 horses were ready to go in front of the Prime Minister's Tower.
"Sansa, where's Arya?"
Eddie, who was riding a horse, asked his daughter who was seeing him off in front of the Prime Minister's Tower.
"I don't know." The red-haired lady was still immersed in uneasiness, "If you don't let Aria go with you, she will probably be angry and hide."
Ai De shook his head helplessly.
"I'm not in King's Landing, you have to take care of your sister and we're leaving"
With the last instruction, the convoy immediately took action.
The rumble of horse hooves sounded, running towards the outside of the Red Castle.
Ordinary residents of King's Landing were also vaguely aware that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the capital at this time, and word of a fight near the Mud Gate had spread.
The noble adults began to fight each other. No matter they were frightened civilians or somewhat ambitious people, it was impossible for them to not care about the current situation.
At this time in Junlin City, there were eyes in the cracks of every window observing the group of people leaving the city.
Lan En can keenly feel the sight of these observations, and he also knows in his heart that in this way
There is no way to go to the north and return to the rift where the celestial sphere meets. It's not going to be easy.
The King's Road is a high-quality road that runs almost the entire length of Westeros.
This is the road Lan En and the others took when they came to King's Landing.
In ancient times when there were no cement asphalt pavements, regular roads with strong load-carrying capacity were a luxury.
The quality of the road itself largely determines the speed of travel.
Ed also knows that taking the King's Road is equivalent to taking theThey were exposed to the spies, but in order to gain time, they had to go this way.
“We take the King’s Road from King’s Landing back to the North. We will first be in the royal territory, then enter the Riverlands, and then cross the Neck to reach the North.”
< p>Ed explained his plan to Lan En beside him, and hoped that he could check and fill in the gaps for him.“None of these territories are within the Lannister sphere of influence. The North belongs to the Stark family, and the royal territory is directly loyal to Robert. As for the Riverlands, I told you before, it is my wife "My mother's family."
Lan En nodded lightly.
"In other words, we will not encounter large forces belonging to the Lannister. Unless they have begun a full-scale invasion of other territories and declared war on the local lords."
"But you They should be prepared, right? It's impossible for the other side to send out a small force to intercept and kill you."
"Yes." Ed sighed deeply.
“I have been fighting all my life, and I know that this journey will never be easy. But I also know how unruly the lords in the north are. My eldest son is very good, but he is still too young after all. Young. There is a gap between him and you, and I have to admit it, Lan En. I don’t trust him to put the task of summoning the vassals of the north on his shoulders."
"I understand. The place where we first met was near Ningze, and I will send you there. Before that, I will still be your guard, and I will perform my duties as a guard."
Ed looked. He looked at Lan En and murmured a few times, looking a little confused.
"In fact, Lan En, if you don't want a title or a fief, then based on your ability, the best choice is to be alone in this war. This war will be very chaotic."
Lan En looked at Ed for a while as if he was sizing up some kind of precious animal, and then suddenly smiled.
"You are in this situation, and you are still honest with me"
"I must explain to you clearly the risks and benefits of the task, and then let you decide whether to accept it." "This is the basic morality of an employer." Ed looked at Lan En seriously.
"This is also the morality of being a knight. Maybe the knights you see rarely follow this morality anymore, but the Stark family is different."
Lan Endai With a smile that showed something interesting, he nodded slightly. This expression even made Ed a little at a loss.
"I am sure that you are a knight worthy of my appreciation, Lord Stark. So this time"
"Even if it is not for Arya's sake, I will I will help you walk back to the North."
The Duke of the North looked confused after hearing this, "Well, what does this have to do with Aria?"
Lan En smiled but said nothing. .
