Facing Catherine's eager gaze, Li Lingyi shook her head in disappointment, "She's still in the Red Castle." But Madame, you can rest assured that although she is being watched, she is still safe. ”

"Is it?" Catherine nodded, and then she said hurriedly, "Your Excellency and all the loyal knights, thank you for bringing my daughter back, and please go into the fortress to rest!"

Everyone entered the fortress one after another, but Li Lingyi entered a separate small room with Catherine and Robb.

“…… That's it. Li Lingyi told the two of them what happened, after all, compared to the news delivered by the raven, he must have a more comprehensive understanding as a person who has experienced it firsthand.

Cersei had insisted that Lord Ed confess to treason and join the Night's Watch in black, but when the sentence was pronounced at Baylor Cathedral, Joffrey suddenly changed his mind and ordered his men to cut off the Duke's head. ”

"Damn Joffrey!" Robb slammed his fist on the table, gritting his teeth, "I'm going to kill him! and Cersei!

"I'm ashamed to say that I had a chance to rescue Duke Stark. Li Lingyi sighed, "It's just that adults are unwilling to cooperate with me for the sake of their daughter's life, and the result is ......"

"You've done enough, Lord Crane. Catherine said gratefully, "I'm so grateful to have sent Arya back. ”

"I don't know what to do next?" Robb looked at Li Lingyi and said seriously: "You rescued Arya, you are a friend of the Stark family, as the king of the north, I can give you the status second only to me!

Although Robb is only a teenager this year, he has grown up quickly and has become quite old when he speaks. At this time, he also wanted to pull Li Lingyi into the army.

After he finished speaking, Catherine also looked at Li Lingyi expectantly, compared to Robb, she could better understand the difficulty of bringing Arya out of King's Landing and successfully running to Riverrun, if she had changed to another person, it was estimated that she would have died in the hands of the pursuing golden robe, or directly handed Arya to King's Landing in exchange for a large number of golden dragons.

"I'm sorry. Li Lingyi smiled apologetically, "I have promised the others that I will go to them after sending Arya to Riverrun." ”

“……”

The two looked at each other with some disappointment, and Robb asked even more curiously, "Who are they?"

This was somewhat rude, and Catherine also glared at him, but Li Ling didn't care about it and said, "Brotherhood without flags." ”

"Brotherhood without Flags?" Robb frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he said uncertainly, "I seem to have heard of it, is it some kind of mercenary organization?"

Mercenary organizations?

Li Ling laughed heartily, but he didn't refute it, and nodded, "Almost, there are a lot of mercenaries in it." With that, he didn't say anything more, gestured and left the room.

"Ivy Crane. Robb was a little puzzled, "With his strength, I can make him a duke and have his own fief after the victory in the future!"

"Robb!" Catherine scolded softly, "you must be grateful that he saved your sister." ”

"Mother, of course I'm grateful to him, but I don't understand why he didn't join us, after all, he is now also condemned as a traitor in King's Landing, and our enemies should be the same!"

"Well, don't talk about it again. Catherine stopped Robb's words, thought for a moment and said, "Let's think about how to go south......

Leaving the fortress, Li Ling didn't want to stay longer, so he immediately began to hire a few soldiers to transport his sixty thousand gold dragons. After all, after coming to Riverrun, those previous northern soldiers would definitely not go with him again.

But that's okay, the most dangerous road has passed, and the territory from Riverrun to the Brotherhood Without Flags is still very close, and it basically doesn't take even half a day's journey to get there.

Soon, several freelance mercenaries accepted the hire, and they all knew Li Lingyi and all had a worship mentality. After all, the latter, like them, is also a free mercenary. And this identity won the championship of the tournament for the first time. So now many free mercenaries on the mainland are proud of him, and they are naturally willing to do things for him.

Li Lingyi himself knows this, in fact, he also has a certain idea in his heart, just like the king unites the nobles as the strength, and the dragon mother unites the slaves as the strength, then he can also unite a group, and this group is the mercenaries!

Although the reputation of mercenaries is not very good, there are still some poor and good people, if he can get their support, Li Lingyi is confident that he can tear a piece of his own sky in this era of heroes. Of course, this is not a simple matter, and it needs to be planned slowly.

And he can't do it alone, he also needs some capable people to help, which is why he wants to contact the Brotherhood of No Flags, there are also a few people with leadership skills in it, and they have an honest personality, which is an excellent candidate for his subordinates.

It took an afternoon, all the preparations were in place, and the next day Li Lingyi was ready to leave, and knowing that he was leaving tomorrow, Robb also specially organized a small party, of course, everything was simple during the war, and there was no luxury to eat and drink.

"Teacher Ivey, are you really leaving?" At the party, Arya ran to Li Lingyi's seat and asked in a whisper, seeing the latter nodding, she immediately said, "Actually, I want to go with you too, but my mother won't let me leave." ”

"Well, it's safer to stay here. Li Lingyi said softly, "Listen to your mother, she is still worried about your sister now, so don't let her be sad anymore, you know?"

"En..."Arya nodded, her expression was a little depressed, Li Ling touched her head when she saw this, took a short sword from her waist and gave it to her, "Sometimes it is not possible to use only a sewing needle, and after that, you have to practice what you were taught before every day, okay?"

"Don't worry!" Arya smiled and took the dagger and played with it with love, "I'll practice diligently, and one day I'll kill all those villains!"

"Well... And also. As soon as Li Ling thought of something, he whispered to Arya: "After I leave, tell your brother and mother to let them be careful of the Frey family." ”

"The Frey family?" Arya wondered, "Teacher Ivey, why didn't you tell them personally?"

"There are so many whys. Li Lingyi knocked on her little head, "You just remember, do you know?"

"Oh, don't knock me, it hurts!" said Arya, touching her head and flattening her mouth in dissatisfaction.
