Whether Count Luce hates himself or not, Li Nan doesn't care, anyway, as long as there is the Stark family in the north, their Bolton family can only lie on their stomachs honestly. Ｘ

The theme of today's military meeting was the division of the army, and after Robb and the lords had decided on the specific matters, they announced the dissolution of the meeting.

Everyone was leaving, and Rob suddenly stopped Lady Caitlyn and Li Nan.

"Theon discussed something with me yesterday, so I'd like to hear your opinions."

Li Nan had shown enough in the meeting just now, and after hearing Rob's words, he sat at the table without speaking, and Lady Caitlyn asked, "Theon?" What are you discussing? ”

"If we want to get Sansa out, we're going to attack King's Landing, so Theon wants to go back to the Iron Islands and convince his father to send a ship to help us."

After Rob said this, Li Nan couldn't help frowning.

Put Theon, the heir and hostage of the Iron Isles, back in the hope that he will bring the pirates who make a living from raiding to help you, Rob. Stark's idea was a little too simplistic.

Fortunately, this time there was no need for Li Nan to speak and persuade herself, and Mrs. Caitlyn objected slightly angrily: "No! The damned Iron Folk bandits in the Iron Islands can't help us, and don't forget that it was your father who defeated Theon's father, and his two brothers died as well! ”

Since Rob would say this, it was that he had already agreed with Theon's suggestion in his heart, so after seeing his mother's objection, he defended himself: "Theon and I grew up together, and my father raised him to be a man of honor, so I believe in him. Besides, Baron of the Iron Islands has more than two hundred warships, and we need to form an alliance with him. ”

"There are countless rats in the sewers of King's Landing, should we ally with them too?"

Lady Caitlyn said unhappily, "Baron is a traitor, and their Greyjoy family has too much hatred with our Stark family, you can't trust him. ”

"I'm also a traitor in the eyes of the Seven Kingdoms now, and we need to take risks in order to capture King's Landing sooner!"

"I don't agree with this anyway, Theon grew up in Winterfell, but he's just a hostage after all."

Listening to the fierce quarrel between the mother and son, Li Nan was silent, after all, he was just an outsider, although he had a lot of credit, but it was difficult to be in the hearts of the members of the Stark family, maybe his status was really inferior to Theon's adopted son.

After arguing for a long time, the two became more and more angry, and Lady Caitlyn said angrily: "You have grown up, and you don't need my opinion, anyway, it is useless for me to stay in the army, tomorrow I will take Arya back to Winterfell!" ”

Madame Caitlin's anger caused a brief silence in the room, and after a few seconds Rob suddenly turned to Lenan and asked, "Sir Leo, what is your opinion?" ”

"Uh......" Li Nan couldn't help but hesitate in the face of Robb's question.

There is no doubt that following Robb's wishes will be more likely to gain his favor, but Leenan thinks the same as Lady Caitlin, he does not trust Theon and Greyjoy, a pirate family.

"I agree with Lady Caitlyn." Li Nan explained: "There is an old saying in my hometown that abandoned dogs are not well raised. Even though Theon grew up with you in Winterfell, he was nine years old when he arrived, and he knew where his home was. ”

The two people around him who could be trusted were against this matter, and Rob couldn't help but be a little discouraged, and reluctantly said after half a sound: "Since you don't agree with this matter, then forget it." ”

Rob was able to follow the advice, which made Li Nan feel very relieved, and he was really worried that this young wolf lord was as stubborn as Duke Ed.

When Lady Catelyn saw her son's change of heart, the anger in her heart dissipated, and she said softly to Robb, "I really should go back, Winterfell still has your two younger brothers, Rickon is still young, and Bran's leg is still disabled. ”

"You can't go back yet, I need you to go to Kuqiao."

"To the Bitter Bridge?" Caitlin looked at her son suspiciously.

"Yes, I'm going to make an alliance with Lan Li. He now has an army of 100,000 in his hands, and as long as the two of us work together, it will not be a problem to defeat the Lannisters completely, and then we can rescue Sansa, and we can also kill Cersei and Joffrey and others. ”

Staring into her son's eyes, Lady Caitlyn nodded slowly and replied, "Okay, then I'll go tomorrow." ”

Rob turned to Li Nan: "Sir Leo, you are loyal to our Stark family, I am afraid that this time I will trouble you, I hope you can escort my mother to the Bitter Bridge." ”

Li Nan immediately got up and said, "Don't worry, as long as I am here, I will be able to ensure the safety of Mrs. Caitlin!" ”

------------------

A few days later, Li Nan, who had only returned from the south not long ago, escorted Mrs. Caitlin to Kuqiao with Lin Chong and others.

There is a saying that there are a thousand people, and the earth is up to the sky. There are 10,000 people, and there is no boundary.

The Bitter Bridge now houses more than 80,000 troops from the Baratheon and Tyrell families, and it is even more overwhelming.

Looking from a distance, I saw that the messy camp was full of tents of various colors and styles, and countless soldiers were drinking and laughing and scolding in the camp, seeing all this, Li Nan couldn't help but shake his head slightly, such an undisciplined army, it is estimated that the combat ability will not be too strong.

Although Lan Li didn't know anything about marching and fighting, he still had many lords under his command who could fight well, and soon several patrolling cavalry teams discovered Li Nan and his party.

Li Nanzong immediately stepped forward and introduced these patrol cavalry: "This is the king of the northern realm and the young wolf lord Rob. Stark's mother, Lady Catelyn, we are negotiating on behalf of the North. ”

Hearing that the other party was a messenger sent from the north, the cavalry captain did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered someone to return to the camp to report, and soon led the group to the camp.

The Bitter Bridge is the territory and family fort of the Casway family in the River Bend, and is the key point of the Rose Avenue across the Mandeb River. An ancient stone arch bridge was erected over the Bab el-Mandeb River, hence the name of the Bitter Bridge.

The castle was not very large, so Lan Li set up camp on the surrounding flat and open field, where a jousting tournament was taking place in a clearing surrounded by a wooden fence.

Seeing that Lady Caitlyn, Li Nan and the others had arrived, Lan Li, who was wearing a gold crown of antlers, smiled and said, "I'm choosing my own rainbow guard, you guys take a rest first, how about talking about something later?" ”

Negotiation is not something that can be done overnight, and Lady Caitlyn politely replied, "It is important to choose your own personal bodyguard, please go ahead." ”

Looking at the hundreds of knights fighting desperately in the fence clearing, Li Nan couldn't help but think of his experience when he participated in the martial arts competition.

Listening carefully to the words of the nearby lords and soldiers, Li Nan figured out that after Lan Li claimed to be the king of the High Court, he also began to form a personal guard organization similar to the Royal Forest Iron Guard, called the Rainbow Guard, and today's martial arts tournament was to select qualified candidates.

The team competition is a scuffle, and now there are two people who stand out in the field.

One was a knight dressed in silver carvings with intricate patterns, just looking at his unique shape and expensive armor, Li Nan recognized this person, he was the knight of the hundred flowers who once gave himself the championship of the knight's spear competition.

There is also a tall knight in blue armor, this person is different from other knights, other knights participate in group martial arts competitions, they have their own small groups, and he has no companions around him at all, it belongs to the complete independent battle,
