Lynn saw the burly female knight in the crowd and raised her hand for the guards to let her up.

"Why are you still here? Didn't I see you went south before?" Lynn looked at her in surprise.

Brienne approached Lynn and gave her a standard chivalric salute.

"I haven't found Lady Caitlin's body, I'm here to avenge her," she said, looking lonely. ”

"Revenge?" Lynn looked at this sturdy, not at all like a girl's woman in surprise, "I cut down the whole family of Frey, you were there at the time, what revenge do you have?"

"The Iron Islanders have attacked Winterfell, and I promised Lady Catelyn in Riverrun to slay the traitors of House Greyjoy on her behalf. ”

Lynn blinked, and when it came to Riverrun, he wanted to come alone.

"Anyway, whoever kills this guy will be killed, if you think that you can feel happy by killing him with your own hands, I will take it as a favor, but there is one thing I want to ask you, you have seen Jaime the King Killer in Riverrun?"

Brienne nodded and said, "Yes, he was captured by Robb and locked up in the prison of Riverrun, and at that time, Lady Caitlyn was planning for me to take him to King's Landing in exchange for two Stark Misses, but Robb's frontline army was suddenly defeated, and the matter was put on hold for the time being, why do you ask this person?"

Lynn continued to ask, noncommittal, "So, that Lannister is still locked up in Riverrun?"

"I think so, if the Tully hadn't taken the initiative to return the man to Tywin. ”

The crowd of onlookers in the center of the square was getting louder and louder, and many residents of Twin Cities were shouting for the execution to come faster.

The crowd was excited.

Lynn came to her senses.

Ordered one of the soldiers in charge of the hanger to get out of the way, and said to Brienne, "You can start, the audience is impatient. ”

Thanking her again, Brienne drew the knight's sword from her waist and held it in both hands in a top-down slash to execute Castarion tied to the gallows.

For the original hanging, it turned into a beheading.

The Twin Cities in the audience were not dissatisfied, on the contrary, they watched Victalion's head be cut off by the beauty with a sword, and the cheers that erupted in the crowd were even more exciting.

The smell of blood is far more intense than watching a hanged man struggle to die.

The beauty Brienne killed with a blank face, and put the knight's sword back into the scabbard with a blank face.

Lynn was secretly speechless, looking at the tall female knight and suddenly said, "Female knight, do you accept the hir?"

Brienne paused. "What?"

"I mean, you don't serve anyone right now, so can you accept my employment?"

......

In the evening, a big man who arrived later than Lynn expected came to the city lord's mansion.

Twin River City, the high platform of the banquet hall of the city lord's mansion.

Lynn put down a notebook of the Seven Kingdoms in his hand and looked at the short, gray-green eyes in front of him, a small mustache on his chin, and a little gray and gray middle-aged man in a fancy dress.

This man with a false smile on his face is from King's Landing.

His nickname, Little Finger, is well known in the noble circles of the Seven Kingdoms.

This distinguished guest, who had an innate talent for intrigue and intrigue and had more ambitions than his ingenuity, handed over the letter of meeting as soon as Lynn returned home.

His name was Petyr Berish.

Born into a small family with no influence, he is now the Imperial Minister of King's Landing.

Lynn can assure you.

This guy has actually infiltrated Twin River City a long time ago, and there is not a trace of dust on his line.

However, Lynn didn't care when he arrived in the Twin Cities, he showed up at the right time.

Petyr was slightly stunned when he saw young Lynn, but he always had a confident smile on his face.

After a brief greeting, he came up with the purpose of his visit.

Lynn didn't have to guess, she knew he was coming for Twin Rivers.

However, his arrogant proposal upset Lynn.

What does it mean to let yourself withdraw from the Twin Cities with the army and return the castle to King's Landing, otherwise, King's Landing will be deprived of its fief on the charge of being a usurper?

Lynn was silent on the surface when he heard this, but he couldn't help but slander in his heart, he wanted to empty the gloves of the white wolf, could he be more shameless?

Lynn ignored his threat and sat up straight.

Get straight to the point: "Lord Petyr, let's talk about your price." ”

As a veteran careerist trapped in King's Landing, Berish's dream was to obtain a formal fief.

In Game of Thrones history, though.

This troublesome careerist, although he had been tirelessly seeking a formal fief through power and intrigue, until his death, was only rewarded with the false title of Duke of Harrenhal by Tywin Lannister, the Hand of the King.

Power is important, but the army and territory are the most important things.

And the prey that the old fox Littlefinger covets now is the Twin Cities in Lynn's hands, which is equivalent to the Borderlands.

Because Lynn, who is not even an earl, has no right to manage Twin River City at all, which is illegal.

The name is very important to a lord.

This represents the legitimacy of domination in Westeros.

For example, Robb, as the Duke of Winterfell, declared the independence of the North, or directly challenged King's Landing, which in the eyes of the general public on the continent is a power struggle between the big people, and Stark is qualified to do so.

But if a knight with a title who is not even a nobleman suddenly captures a city, even if he has thousands of troops and horses, he will not be able to make the inhabitants under his rule submit.

This deep-rooted class ideology has penetrated into the marrow of every ordinary person on the mainland.

If you think that repression by force can bring people to their knees, then you are very wrong.

The consequence of this is only to make the people in your territory flee your territory, nothing more.

Petyr Berish thought he had taken advantage of Lynn's weakness, so he scoffed at Lynn's attempt to trade Twin Cities for his benefits.

"The price?" said with a smile as he bared his white and yellow teeth, "not to pursue Your Excellency's unauthorized murder of the Marquis of Walder, this is already the greatest sincerity." ”

Petyr Berliss laughed like an old fox, ugly, and Lynn thought she was much more handsome when she laughed.

"Hey, Lord Petyr, the Freys killed Lord Robb and the nobles of the North, as a nobleman of the North, I avenged Stark, and even the gods were on my side. ”

Petyr Berish restrained his smile and said displeasedly: "The Stark family is a traitor, and the dead Stark vassals are also traitors. ”

Lynn looked at this high-end player in the-stirring world, and felt a little unhappy in his heart.

This guy has made up his mind to empty the gloves of the white wolf.

In that case, Lynn doesn't have a good temper.

"In any case, the Frey family violated guest etiquette and killed a king of the Northern Kingdom as a marquis, which is intolerable to all the people of the North, and if I execute the Frey, all the people of the North will be on my side.

He yawned, stood up, and said with a tired face, "There are still remnants of the Frey family hidden in Twin River City, when did I catch these fish that slipped through the net and execute them?" Naturally, the Twin Rivers City will be returned to the kings of the Seven Kingdoms. By the way, Lord Petyr, I can't go without the Northern Alliance, and don't try to call me a rebel. ”

Petyr Berish's face was gloomy when he heard this.

Marquis Wade killed a king of the Northern Kingdoms, which was sealed by the Starks themselves, not recognized by King's Landing, nor by the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms.

There was no recognized king, and Robb was still only the Duke of Winterfell.

Besides, you say that Valder is good at killing Robb, so what do you say about a little northern viscount who went to the riverland to kill the marquis?

Also, what do you mean, when will you catch the Frey family's fish that slipped through the net, and then return the Twin Rivers City to the kings of the Seven Kingdoms.

This is obviously a scoundrel, if you can't catch it for the rest of your life, won't you never hand over the Twin River Cities for the rest of your life?

However, Lynn didn't intend to chew her tongue with the chancellor of the exchequer.

His principles are clear, and he doesn't have enough interests to take Twin River City from his hands.

It's really difficult to be a lord, not only to lead troops to fight, but also to make a fortune with the inhabitants of your own territory, if you face these bullying guys, you really want your own life.

I thought that the guy in front of me who knew the rules would be able to get on the road.

Do you want Twin River Cities, what you lack is money and fame, and how good is it to take the best of both worlds?

Since, people don't treat themselves as dishes at all.

Lynn, who was depressed, put down his words, and went into the inner hall behind the high platform without any delay.

The pimping duke, who runs a brothel, was hanging in the hall at the moment, and he was a little dumbfounded for a while.

The original look of confidence on his face was extremely gloomy at the moment.

A little viscount actually neglected his dignified former minister.

Is this still the Westeros nobility you are familiar with?

If it weren't for the presence of a few armor-clad guards in the hall, Petyr would have even had the idea of pulling a dagger out of his sleeve and rushing up to give Lynn a stab.

Much of his life's work was to elevate his humble ranks, thirst for power and status, and aspire to be a great man, and now he has easily become an influential minister in King's Landing.

Now that he was so humiliated at the hands of a young nobleman, Petyr's depression at the moment can be imagined.

Lynn was tired for a day, so she carried the futon to the silver deer in the underground secret room, and fell asleep.

Tired sleep is easy to produce dreams, Lynn dreamed last night, the treasure chest full of silver deer around him, in the middle of the night suddenly emitted a shining golden light, that is the golden dragon can flash the dazzling light, he slowly stood up in the dream, was about to open the treasure chest, suddenly the dream was interrupted.

When I opened my eyes, it was already noon the next day.

Lynn opened the box for the first time to verify her dream.

It turned out to be just a dream.

The three boxes of silver deer are still just silver deer, and the other box of pearl jewelry looks more polished and translucent than before.

Disillusioned, Lynn came out of the basement and heard the guards report that Littlefinger had been outside the mansion for a long time.

The silver deer didn't turn into a golden dragon, so Lynn was not in the mood to deal with the guy, and he ordered the guards to let the guy who pretend to come back in the afternoon.

After lunch at noon and a nap, he wanted to see in his dream whether there was a golden dragon in the golden box.

Lynn was too full to eat, and he couldn't sleep, so he sat up with a wheel, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly stood up and scolded Hanniu Guftava, who was sitting and snoring on the stone steps of the basement: "Call you Hanniu, but I don't want you to snore as loud as a cow, go and invite my distinguished guest to the mansion." ”

Han Niu was startled by Lynn's voice, he suddenly stood up straight, heard Lynn's angry scolding, just sulked oh, and hurriedly walked out.

Lynn was almost startled when she saw Duke Petyr Littlefinger again.

I didn't see each other at night, and the other party's eye sockets seemed to have been beaten twice, and they were as black as a nest.

"Earldom, plus ten beauties. ”

The two met again, this time with Littlefinger straight to the point.

Lynn was shocked when she heard this, why did this shrewd careerist suddenly lose his breath?

Lynn stared at Littlefinger's face, trying to see a flaw in the other party's face, and observed him for a long time and said suspiciously: "Can you call the shots of the earl?"

Titles cannot be increased or stripped away at will, as Lynn knows.

Severe class solidification made it almost impossible for the petty aristocracy to achieve class promotion through their own efforts. The reason why the Middle Ages was brighter than later societies was that the aristocracy was always the aristocracy, the peasants were always the peasants, the class of each person was very fixed, and the whole society was full of rationalism.

Even if it is the conspirator of Littlefinger, who has worked hard all his life to obtain the title of duke, but the great nobles who are in the process are full of superiority to him, what is the use of a courtier and a duke without a territory?

Lynn could gain a steady stream of territory through her own army, and what was missing was a legitimate title.

Littlefinger, on the contrary, is in constant search for a territory of his own and an army of his own.

Lynn's question was the right one, and Littlefinger smiled confidently and mysteriously.

Petyr Berish's great-grandfather was a mercenary swordsman from Braavos who worked for the Kobray family, and his father was the smallest of the many minor lords, with only the smallest of the Five Fingers Peninsula owning some rocky lands. During the Battle of the Nine Bronze Kings, his father formed a friendship with the Tully family, so Petyr was sent to Riverrun as an adopted son.

Reaching the pinnacle of knighthood as an adopted son, God knows what he went through.

After many years in King's Landing, he has greatly improved his political power, and he is confident that he can handle the title of earl.

He looked at Lynn, his eyes burning.

"Your Excellency defended the Twin Rivers from the Iron Islanders, and presented the castle to the king, and the Earl's reward is justified. ”

Lynn was stunned, what else could it be?

"The ...... of the Death of the Folles"

Petyr Berish said with a blank expression: "Frey Vad Frey conspired to kill Robb Stark, violating the rights of the guests blessed by the gods, and violating the sacred laws that the Seven Kingdoms abide by, such a sin, even a knight is worthy to obey the will of the gods, judge and execute them. ”

God knows how much Lynn wants to kill the person in front of him now, in front of the black and white power person, even if this matter is benefiting himself, it will make people feel creepy.

A gentleman does not harm the public with his own selfishness, and Littlefinger's despicable means of such a bold and unashamed statement, because his own selfishness harms justice, is really hateful in Lynn's eyes.

Lynn sighed and muttered, "It's good that I'm not a gentleman,"

Lynn said solemnly to Littlefinger, "Robb is dead, Winterfell has been taken by the Iron Islanders, and a Stark has been imprisoned in King's Landing, as a nobleman from the North, thinking of the past kindness of the Stark family, in addition to the title, I am willing to pay ten beauties in exchange for Miss Sansa Stark's freedom." ”

Petyr Berish had been an official in King's Landing for many years, and it was the first time he had heard such brazen words as a courtier.

He clenched his fists and took a deep breath in an effort to contain the anger in his heart.

"Miss Sansa is the one who Queen Cersei is holding in the Red Keep, and I'm afraid I can't do anything about it. ”

Lynn looked pity.

"Lord Petyr, I think I've seen the whole process of Viktarion's execution before, right?"

"You're threatening me?"

"No, of course not," Lynn shook her head, "I just wanted to say that the female knight in charge of the execution was on her way to Riverrun, and it was only fair that Jaime Lannister would soon be greeted here, one Stark for another." ”
