When Lan Li headed north, Riverland was still in the tail stage of sweeping after the end of the war, clearing out the fragments of the remnants of the enemy army, and at the same time restoring the original order by the way.

The war between the two continents was confined to the river, and the destructive power caused was very serious, not to mention, the crops that originally grew densely in the riverland were basically destroyed and plundered, the rich manor villages in the wild were all destroyed, and some poorly built castles with insufficient defense were mostly breached by foreign enemies.

The plebeian population was greatly reduced, and many of the nobles died, even the Duke of Riverlands, Horst. Tully also died in this not long but extremely cruel war.

At this time, the Duke of Riverlands was succeeded by Edmure, the son of Duke Horst, and now he is leading the army of Riverland and the royal army to encircle and suppress the traitors who have betrayed -

The enemy retreated, but the betrayers of the river did not leave.

When Lan Li left Twin Rivers, several traitorous nobles were negotiating with the Tully family and the Iron Throne. In order to atone for his sins by paying reparations for land cession, rather than giving up the status and power of Westeros, he was expelled.

Lan Li did not pay attention to the specific situation, because no matter what the outcome of the negotiation is, there will be no surprises.

Before leaving, he always thought about the two things at hand.

The placement of werewolves is very simple, you only need to choose a piece of no-man's land and report to the Iron Throne. Westeros is large and not populated enough to cover the Seven Kingdoms, and there is no shortage of such no-man's lands, and the werewolves finally choose an island in the river.

The issue of "reward" in the Iron Islands is at a stalemate, mainly because if they want to pass the Sancha River, they must obtain the consent of the Tuli family in the River Place.

Therefore, before leaving, Lan Li wrote a letter to the current Duke of River, Edmure. Tully hesitated.

"Ally with the Iron Islands to deter the Quad Lords...... This approach is somewhat interesting. Inside the tent in the camp, he said to the head of the family.

"The Iron People are greedy and murderous, and they are not trustworthy." The manager felt that this proposal was very unreliable.

"I don't trust Tiemin either, but if there is a guarantee from that Lan Li-sama......" Holding the letter, the red-haired new duke was really a little hesitant.

The Tully family's rule over the Riverlands has always been unstable, and it can be seen from the situation of this war that several nobles have betrayed the Tully family and even Baratheon, and if they did not betray, the army under their command was not so smooth.

If it weren't for the fact that this war involved the entire Seven Kingdoms, and simply using the army of the Riverland to defend against the enemy, it is estimated that it would not be able to withstand the enemy for even a day.

Now that his father has died in this war, how should he, the new duke, manage his lords?

If you can make an alliance with the Iron People of the Iron Islands......

Edmure was a little moved by this.

Although it is a feudal lord of the river, the feudal lord refers to the status, not that all the territories of the riverland belong to the Tully family, in fact, the fief of the Tully family is limited to a strip around the family castle Riverrun, and the other territories between the rivers have their own lords.

Therefore, even if the iron people of the Iron Islands are allowed to enter the Sancha River, there is no loss of profit for the Tully family, and if the iron people are really as sincere in developing business as the letter says, then the Tully family can collect an extra part of the tax.

It's just that......

Will Iron Man be so honest?

On the one hand, the perennial stereotype made the young duke hesitate, and on the other hand, rumors about how the Iron Folk fanatically followed that Baratheon have not been heard for a long time.

The impulse of his personality made Edmure want to resolutely agree to this, but the risk of the future was repeated and pressed back to the bottom of his heart, and after thinking for a while, he finally made up his mind.

"Let's see what the Iron Throne side decides." Edmu. Tully said to the head of the family.

However, after deciding on this idea, he felt a little unsure, so after thinking about it, he simply ran to the study, preparing to write a letter to his sister who was far away in the north to ask for advice.

……

Lan Li naturally didn't know what was behind him, and he was busy rushing to the north at this time.

He couldn't force the resettlement of the Iron People, if he only talked about King's Landing, he could be sure that even if he made some "unreasonable" demands, he might be accepted, but this matter was not only a matter of King's Land, but also the Riverlands.

The kingship of Westeros was not as good as that in previous lives, and if you wanted to issue a decree in a territory outside the royal realm, you had to have the consent of the local feudal lord.

Lan Li's reputation in the Riverland is not as strong as in King's Landing, and even the lords of some remote areas in the Riverland may not have heard of him, the current world is not the information age after all, the flow of information is very slow, and most of the truth is difficult to distinguish.

At the same time, Lan Li also heard that the new Duke of Riverlands, Edmu, was an indecisive man, and he really didn't have much hope that he would be able to accept the views of his letter.

……

"How long do you have to go?"

As she rode along the forest road on horseback, there was a crisp voice beside her, it was Rhaenys the fart, and now she was straddled a docile red horse, looking boredly at the green sky above her on the left side of Lan Li.

"It's still early, if you don't want to hurry, you can go back first." Lan Li glanced at her as he spoke.

Braavos's letter didn't let him go, as if the girl with whom he had a deep bond had planned to stay, and Lan Li didn't force it, or couldn't—it wouldn't be sent back to her.

In fact, Lan Li actually enjoys the days with girls, not to mention anything else, there is finally someone to talk to, otherwise no one else can communicate with him normally.

"You think that Green Prophet really knows that kind of thing?" Rhaenys instinctively ignored the second half of Lan Li's words, and looked curious when she thought of something.

"You'll have to ask about it." Lan Li replied.

The other party asked about the connection between history and the present, because they were also ancient people, so Lan Li did not hide his purpose of going to find the three-eyed crow, and at the same time claimed to want to figure out this question.

"Can you really find him?" The girl asked again.

"You'll have to look for it to find out."

"We're not going to run for nothing, are we?"

"If you're afraid of this, then you can go back first."

“…… You wear this armor all day, aren't you tired? ”

"The war has just ended, and I don't have time to wear it in case of danger, so I can't-"

Speaking of this, Lan Li suddenly frowned, and then raised his hand to signal, so the group of Western Knights and Iron People soldiers who followed behind him immediately stopped.

"My lord, what's going on?" asked a brown-haired knight on horseback.

His name is Moore, a knight from the West, who admired Lan Li very much because of the dispersal of the enemy army in Haijiang City that day, and later heard that Lan Li was going to the north, so he volunteered to escort his family's army and knights all the way.

"There's an ambush ahead." Lan Li replied with a serious face, "There are a lot of them, prepare to break through!" ”

Unlike being in the middle of an army, he is always vigilant when he rushes to the north at this time, and even uses his psychic moment ability to connect with a flying bird, so that some things cannot escape his eyes.

Hearing this, Moore's face was stunned, and then he turned around without hesitation to give an order, so the formation of the team, which was originally a little scattered, immediately changed.

The contact time was not long, but he was very convinced of Lan Li, and now that Lan Li said so, then the matter must be true - sure enough, it was not long before they encountered thousands of ambushes in the forest!
