Jon Arryn isn't really an old otaku, but believe me, anyone who lives in a place like Eagle's Nest where everyone dies will be daunted by the long mountain road, and the slightest hint of desire to go out will be stifled in the cradle.

Early in the morning, the servants prepared their luggage, which of course they had to help carry down.

Duke Arryn's spirited "mule" was the first, followed by Robert and Eddard, and Robert's "mule" head was more than Ed's mule, I don't know if it was unintentional, or to show that his status was higher than Ed's.

Han Xing and Roy followed closely behind the two, and there was a group of servants carrying the luggage with mules, which somewhat alleviated Han Xing's fear of going down the mountain in view of being "crowded" in the middle.

Don't look at Arryn looking old, he is also considered an old man in Westeros, who would have thought that his old man would be strong for more than ten years, until the beginning of Game of Thrones, Ed's now unborn son Robb was already fifteen years old before he was poisoned and died.

Even after 60, he also gave birth to a son with Lysa Tully, who was the black-haired kid who wanted the "little devil" Tyrion Lannister to fly, and the old man should be strong and strong!

Along the way, Robert asks Ed about his sister Lyanna Stark, "Ed, how do you think your sister feels about me?" Did she ask you about me? Robert asked in a whisper as he leaned into Ed's ear on his mule.

He couldn't help but be unfazed, because he was engaged to Ed's sister Lyanna, and they would be married in two years.

Robert was a hundred satisfied with Lyanna, and was amazed to see her at the time of their engagement, and was furious at the thought of marrying the woman of his dreams.

"What do you mean by this ••••••? She didn't talk to me much about what she thought of you, and I hadn't seen her in over a year, you know, a little girl's mind is always easy to change, but if you look heroic, like a woman's dream lover, she'll definitely like you. "Who says Ed Stark can't lie? At least in the case of Lyanna, he lied a lot.

Robert thought it was true when he heard it, after all, the current Robert is indeed very suitable for the aesthetics of European women, and belongs to the existence of a man who can eat with his face, but he also takes away the male route, and he laughs and fascinates people.

Only Han Xing and Roy know that Robert is destined not to get the lover of his dreams.

The reason is in Ed, just like Robert, Lyanna is also full of curiosity about her fiancé, and even heard some bad "rumors", so she pestered Ed to ask him about Robert. As a result, Ed's old problem of not being able to lie was committed again, and Lyanna made a little trick, so she came to "pour beans from a bamboo tube" and told Robert all the things about the old sesame seeds and rotten grain.

Of course, Robert gave birth to an illegitimate daughter when he was fifteen, that is, Mia Shidong, who later led Catherine Stark to Eagle's Nest.

As a result, Lyanna's good impression of Robert's handsome face and good-looking smile made Ed's stinky mouth completely ruined, although Ed tried his best to make up for it by saying that what Robert did before marriage was not important, and he would definitely be good to her after marriage, but Robert's "premarital cheating" behavior had caused him to be negatively scored by Lyanna.

This is why Ed is ambiguous about Robert's questioning, and it can be said that Ed is truly a key player in the world of Ice and Fire, and he lit the fuse for almost all of the broken things.

After the "Giant's Spear", there are already a large number of Vale nobles waiting for Lord Jon Arryn. It was not only the "big nobles" like Erin who went to Harrenhal to participate in the tournament, but many small and medium-sized nobles were also invited. Of course, the youngest nobleman among them is also a "count", and compared to Han Xing, a penniless knight, he is also a big-legged existence.

For Count Walter Haan, who is committed to holding jousting tournaments beyond the size of the Lannisters, the more the merrier, the more the merrier, and he is the man who wants to show off his wealth to the Lannisters.

If you want to say that the only nobleman who came to meet is worth mentioning, it must be Count Ian Hunt of the Longbow Hall, why? Because he looked older than Jon Arryn.

Indeed, this guy is a legendary little man, because he is older than Jon, but he has outlived Jon, and after Jon Arryn died, he still can't hold back his restless heart and wants to marry Lysa Tully as his wife! When the duke of Vale's stepfather had a good time. Of course, he didn't get what he wanted, and Lyza Tully just enjoyed the feeling of being sought after.

The distance from the valley to Harrenhal is not too far, it is only a day and a half away, in fact, it may only take tomorrow morning or evening for everyone to reach Harrenhal.

If it weren't for the large group of men and horses slowing down the pace of progress, and just a few light horses, perhaps they would have set out during the day and arrived in the afternoon.

(This is based on the two-week report that Eddard had brought Tywin from Castle Rock to King's Landing, and Eddard's personality would never try to trouble Tywin in a harsh amount of time, and it might even be more than enough, which means that Westeros would not be more than 10 to 12 days lateral.) ）

However, the biggest threat to the team is probably those mountain clans, these guys are like hungry wolves in the forest, of course they will hide quietly when they see powerful prey, but once they encounter weak ones, they will naturally spring up like mushrooms after a rain, or mushrooms will come out with teeth and claws.

Of course, in the face of this "nest attack" in the Arryn Valley, they didn't even dare to make a shadow.

By nightfall, the group had reached the other side of the Trident, and had to wait for the next day to cross the river to Harrenhal.

The benefits of a large army are evident here, and the countless nobles of the valley with their families and a large number of servants, knights, and the like will never be bored, at least after camping at night.

A feast was held in this way, and for these relatively closed nobles, they might not have the opportunity to get together to hold such a banquet all year round.

On the banks of the Trident River under the moonlight, bonfires cook all kinds of food, some of which Han Xing has never eaten even in the Western restaurant (after all, the food in the Western restaurant is also adapted to the taste of the Chinese people, and the British have always had some unexpected ideas in terms of food). For example, the stargazing pie and the live pigeon pie that appear in the play).

There was the sound of clinking glasses everywhere, the singing of bards and the sound of various musical instruments, so lively, and the greetings of the lords, "Long time no see, this is Ling Qianjin?" "What a sign!" "Are you married? Look at it's my son, yes, it's the one in white armor over there. "How about it, do you want to get married?" And the silver bell-like laughter of those school-age girls, or the shy coquettishness.

This kind of atmosphere Robert can be said to be like a fish in water, he smiles frequently, a sunny gentleman, personable appearance, if it were not for the fact that he and Lyanna are already well known, he, the Duke of Storm's Rest, is afraid that he will become a "rare resource" that the nobles and lords are vying for.

Obviously, after learning that Robert was engaged, Ed became the target of the siege of the "three uncles and six masters" (sorry, the three aunts and six mothers didn't have a chance to appear, this is a man's society), although he is only the second son, but after all, he is the son of a duke and the adopted son of Jon Arryn.

Perhaps because he had experienced too many such noisy occasions in the past, Han Xing instinctively hated this kind of noisy social occasions, and he and Roy were lying on their backs by the river to exchange their understanding of this Harrenhal tournament.

Soon Ed ran out of the tent as if he had escaped, gasping desperately, as if staying inside would suffocate him.

"Damn, if I had survived if I had been torn into pieces, they might have cut me up like a fat sheep and sold it at a price." Ed sweated profusely.

Obviously, even the nobles are not ambiguous about the marriage of their children, and they are vigorously "selling" their daughters.

After a while, Robert chased after him with a wine glass: "Ned! What are you running, that daughter of the Earl of Tustin is very good! He has a very good figure and silky hair, which suits you very well, and he has a very good offer, he has no sons, and you will be able to inherit his territory and become an earl when the time comes. As he spoke, he was still making a colorful gesture.

"She has more pockmarks on her face than sesame seeds on her pancakes, are you serious?" Ed retched as if he had said something disgusting.

"But she... She... Robert wanted to say something, but perhaps even he felt that he was deceiving himself, and gradually his voice became quieter.

When Han Xing saw the appearance of these two people, he probably knew what kind of "best blind date" Ed had encountered, no wonder he was disgusted like this.

"Okay, why don't you consider the girl from the Sid family, with snow-white skin and tall figure, and she will be as good as you when the time comes." Robert also gestured with his fingers to two small figures, and danced a pas de deux with the index and ring fingers of both hands.

"Spare me, why don't you describe her 'cherry mouth' with me? And the 'lovely snow-white' teeth inside? Ed suddenly laughed weirdly.

Robert was speechless for a while, and finally had to say stupidly: "Okay, I'm just saying, if you don't like it, forget it." He took a sip of wine.

The next day, everyone arrived at their destination, Harrenhal, which was built by the king of the Iron Islands, "Blackheart" Heron, at that time the Iron Islands could be described as the largest force in the Westeros continent, not only the broken lands of the Iron Islands today, but also the Riverlands of the current Tully family, in fact, the original Tully was only a subordinate of "Blackheart" Heron, and he was able to become the master of the Riverlands because he was the first to "abandon the darkness and turn to the light" and took refuge in the "Conqueror" Aegon (the first king of the House of Targaryen in Westeros, Establishment of the Unified Regime of Westeros).

Relying on the support of the Riverlands and the Iron Islands, as well as "hunting wild food" everywhere in Westeros, he scavenged enough materials to build Harrenhal, which can be called the first castle in Westeros.

On the day of the completion of Harrenhal, Aegon the Conqueror landed at the Blackwater River (where King's Landing would later become King's Landing) not far away and began to conquer.

The Riverlands bore the brunt of Aegon's first target, and Harrenhal became the biggest obstacle to Aegon's conquest of the Riverlands, and Aegon the "Conqueror" was also known as the "Dragon King", which was not a metaphor, it was true, he had three real dragons (European dragons), the kind that could fly and breathe fire.

Heron was confident in his castle, but he chose the wrong opponent, and the end result was that himself, including his descendants, was "toasted" in the oven, and it was the turn of the Greyjoy family to come to power.

This also caused the magnificent Harrenhal to become a pile of ruins, most of which were in a state of ruins, and it was rumored that Harrenhal had ominous curses and ghosts, until it came into the hands of the Hean family, and even then the magnificent Harrenhal was used no more than 70%.

In fact, it was not called Harrenhal, but with the transformation of Herron and his descendants into "toast", the true name of Harrenhal was lost to history, and it was named "Harrenhal" after its builder.
