"Hello Count Luce, I'm Leo from the Stark family. ”

"I've seen you." Luce. As he spoke, Bolton jumped off his horse, and when he came to Li Nan, he reached into his arms.

This suspicious action made Lin Chong and the others a little nervous, and Li Nan's hand behind his back quickly shook it, signaling everyone not to be impulsive.

Count Luce took out a scroll of paper from his bosom and handed it to Li Nandao: "This is a letter from the raven, Lord Eddard has agreed to King Robert's invitation, and is about to go to King's Landing with the king, and he urgently summons you back." ”

Li Nan stepped forward to take the scroll of paper, the letter was written by Master Lu Wen himself, it seemed that although everyone persuaded him, but Ed. Stark still can't let go of his oath and honor, and insists on going south, which is really bad news.

After putting away the letter, Li Nan pointed to Rams and his men, who had lost their heads on the stake, and said, "Lord Count Luce, these thieves are burning and killing here, so I have no choice but to take action, I hope you don't mind." ”

Count Luce still said expressionlessly: "You are right, according to the laws of the Seven Kingdoms, they deserve death if they commit such evil acts, even if you don't kill them, I will do it." ”

Li Nan had studied the history of the Bolton family and knew about Luce. Bolton's son fell ill and died a year ago, and his only son is Rams. Snow, killing his illegitimate son himself, is equivalent to cutting off the bloodline of the Bolton family.

When encountering this kind of thing, it is estimated that ordinary people will definitely fight hard with Li Nan, but this Earl of Luce is calm as if it is none of his business, and there must be a demon when things go wrong, Li Nan can't help but be a little more vigilant about the patriarch of the Bolton family.

After instructing Ashur to bring a leather bag and handing it to Count Luce, he said, "This is the head of the assassin who attacked King Robert in the neck, they have the coat of arms of the Burton family on their bodies, and Duke Ed wants to ask what is going on." ”

Count Luce did not care about the stench emitted by the rotten head, opened the bag and carefully identified it for a while, then nodded and said: "They are indeed the knights I recruited, but I swear to the gods and goddesses, old and new, that what they did was not instructed by me, and I hope that Sir Leo can convey it to Lord Ed on my behalf." ”

The purpose of Li Nan's trip was only to warn the Bolton family, and since the matter had been done, he had no intention of going to the Horror Castle as a guest.

"I will convey your words truthfully, and since Lord Ed has summoned us, then I will take my leave."

"No."

After watching Li Nan and the others leave their field of vision, Count Luce slowly walked to the stake of the survivor stink, and raised his hand to slap him heavily.

"Idiot! How many times have I told you, don't kill so many people when hunting, you kill all the people in the territory, then who will farm for us? To whom do we collect taxes? ”

Although the stinky guy was beaten, he honestly and respectfully said, "Father, I know it's wrong. ”

Duke Luce was cold even when he was angry, and he said to the stink, "Don't call me father, you are just a sinister seed born of a cheap woman in a mill, and you are not worthy of the great and noble surname of Bolton." If it weren't for the death of my own son, Domilik, and the only thing left of you, a bastard, I wouldn't be here today. ”

Signaling his men to come forward and save him, Duke Luce asked, "Rams, Leo doesn't seem to be a simple character, why didn't he kill you?" ”

The boy picked up the head of Rams that was cut off by Li Nan on the ground, and said proudly: "After I killed a family of three in that house, let the stinky guy go **, after Leo rushed in and saw it, I had an idea and lied to him that I was the stinky guy, and the stinky guy was me." ”

After slapping him again, Count Luce said coldly, "Put away your little cleverness, if I had been a few minutes late, your head would have fallen to the ground like a stink." ”

Little boy Rams. Snow said respectfully, "Thank you, Lord Luce. ”

Looking at his only bloodline, Count Luce softened his tone a little: "You were born an illegitimate child, but this matter can be changed, as long as you can play less cruel little games and get enough benefits for the Bolton family, then I will give you this great surname." ”

"Yes, I'll behave well." Young Rams. Snow, excitedly responded.

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

Li Nan and his entourage hurried back to Winterfell, and sure enough, they saw that everyone was busy packing up.

After meeting Duke Ed at the main castle, Li Nan gave a detailed account of what had happened on the road.

After hearing this, Duke Ed approvingly, "Well, Leo, you did a good job. Although you have only recently joined the Stark family, your loyalty and ability have been proven, so I am going to take you with you on this trip to King's Landing. ”

Li Nan was about to speak, but Ed stopped: "You don't need to persuade anymore, I have made up my mind!" ”

Ed. Stark is the leader of his own faction, and Li Nan only has the right to suggest, so he can only accept this decision.

Li Nan explained everything clearly, and was about to leave, when he suddenly noticed Duke Ed's sad face, and immediately asked suspiciously: "What else happened in Winterfell during the days I left?" ”

Duke Ed sighed, "On the day you left, I went out hunting with Robert, but I didn't expect Bran to fall from the abandoned watchtower and still be unconscious. ”

"What? Bran fell and got hurt? Li Nan said in surprise: "He likes to climb the wall and trees, I know, but since I knew him, he has never missed a fall." ”

"Children, it's inevitable to make mistakes. Alas, it's all because I'm usually too indulgent with him. ”

Although Bran is usually a little naughty, he is definitely not the kind of bad boy of the aristocratic family, and the relationship between the two is also good during this time, so Li Nan said: "Lord Duke, if you don't have any orders, then I'll go and see Bran first." ”

"Go ahead, and help me persuade Caitlyn, she's been by Bran's bedside since his accident."

"I will."

After leaving Eddard's bedroom, Li Nanjing went to Bran's room, and when he opened the door, he saw the little guy lying unconscious on the bed and Mrs. Caitlyn sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Ma'am, is Bran alright?"

Mrs. Caitlin's face was pale and haggard, her eyes were red and swollen and black, and she looked like she hadn't rested for a long time, she raised her head and looked at Li Nan with dull eyes, and only after half a ring did she recognize who it was.

"Bran promised me that he wouldn't climb that watchtower again, it's all my fault, woo......"

Li Nan persuaded softly: "Madam, since Bran is still alive, then everything will take a turn, you must also take care of your body, otherwise Bran will be distressed when he wakes up and sees you like this." ”

Caitlin turned a deaf ear to Li Nan's words, she held Bran's hand, and suddenly said, "Bran has never fallen, Leo, they all say that you are reliable, can you help me to check?" ”

Li Nan himself was also suspicious of this matter, and after hearing Caitlin's instructions, he hurriedly responded: "It's my honor to serve you, then I'll go and see." ”

Leaving this room full of sorrow, Li Nan went straight to the Shenmu Forest in the backyard.

Li Nan had seen Bran's climbing buildings many times, so he knew his route, so he planned to search along the original path to see if he could find anything.

After coming to the Sacred Wood Forest, Li Nan climbed the Sentinel Tree, then went up to the roof of the arsenal, and then jumped to the roof of the guard room, and then successfully reached the first fort, the empty platform on the top of the first fort was surrounded by gargoyles, Li Nan used the gargoyle to climb to the north end of the tower, and finally jumped forward to reach the bulge on the wall of the sentry tower.

The remnant tower was once the tallest watchtower in Winterfell, but it was struck by lightning more than 140 years ago and caused a fire that caused the top to collapse inward, and it was never restored.

Li Nan stood inside the dilapidated tower, looking at this long-abandoned place.

"Hattori Hanzo, you also check around and see if there are any clues here."

In a shadow, Hattori Hanzo appeared, carefully inspecting every inch of the tower with Li Nan.

Suddenly, Li Nan felt a light in his eyes, and he found that on the stone floor covered with dust and fallen leaves, there was a place that seemed slightly cleaner.

Squatting down to search near this place, Li Nan carefully plucked a long strand of golden hair from the broken spider web.

"Master, I've made a discovery." Hattori Hanzo walked over and handed two strands of hair of the same length and color to Li Nan.
