[Add 1 more for the reward for [Ailubao] children's school, thank you!]
Late at night.
The Hound arrives at Sansa's hut.
This is a small wooden house in the village where the village stays, next to the vegetable garden, where the vegetable farmers work and rest.
Surrounded by marching tents, hundreds of handymen living with the army.
The woods were quiet, and the occasional chirping of night birds made the silence even more profound.
He reached out and pushed the door, but it didn't move.
Sansa was cautious.
This is a good thing, no matter how disciplined the Magic Mountain is, the number of beasts in the army continues unabated, which leads to the growing prostitution career in the Klegane army.
The Hound sword was unsheathed, the tip of the sword piercing through the crack in the door, sliding from top to bottom, and finding the position of the latch. The tip of the sword rests against the latch and moves to the left and the latch does not move, and to the right moves the latch.
Once, twice, three times, the tip of the sword opened the latch of the door, and with a push of his hand, the door opened silently.
The hound entered the cabin, which was darker than the outside, but the hound's eyes had adapted to the darkness, and he walked over, stretched out his hand and wrapped the man on the plank with the quilt, and stuffed the rotten cloth that had been prepared long ago into Sansa's whining mouth, rolled the man and the quilt into a tube, carried it on his shoulder, and went out.
The voice of a patrol soldier was heard, and the hounds hurried back into the house, hiding the door.
"Hey. "Have you heard of it, a new maid from among the horsemen who kept horses was a maid who was a young maid, with red hair and blue eyes, and a very beautiful person, who looked like a noble lady." ”
"Yes, Queen Cersei. A soldier smiled.
"No kidding, today the Boswell Eli Centurion had a conflict with the Hound for the sake of the woman. ”
"What do you mean?" said the other soldier.
The logistics corps has several hundred-man teams, and when necessary, the logistic corps is responsible for escorting grain and grass, which requires the establishment of a professional corps. Duty patrols during the day and duty patrols at night are two different centurion soldiers.
"I've also heard that Boswell Eli forced the hounds to release them, and was later pulled off his horse by the hounds and knocked unconscious. The woman was washing clothes by the brook, and was favored by a passing hound, which immediately could not stand it, and the beast could not bear it, and wanted to take her back to be a maid...... Hey, you get the ......," said another soldier.
"Just take her away like this? Didn't find a counselor? The hound is so stupid that Lord Magic Mountain will kill him if he finds out. The team leader said.
"How beautiful that woman is, among the women of the Seven Kingdoms, I only want to be Queen Mother Cersei. ”
"Hey, I know the new washerwoman lives in this cabin. Why don't we light the torches and lift the quilt to see, hehe!"
"There's no gold under her, and besides, my head wants to grow on my neck for two more years. ”
"Go ahead, so I can report to the commissioner and receive the bounty. “
"Forget it, you, it's just a joke. ”
Patrol soldiers walked past the door of the hounds.
The Hound learns that Sansa has not always been a laundress, and that she had worked as a horse breeder before that.
The Magic Mountain is also a bull's nose, throwing Sansa Stark into the logistics handyman team, if some bastard takes away his virginity, the ransom he wants the Stark family to hand over will be greatly reduced, not only will it not improve the friendship between the Clegane family and the Stark family, but it will also become an enemy.
The hound opened the door, dodged out, and closed the door again. He walked through the dark shadows, avoiding tents and patrolling soldiers, and sneaked all the way northeast. Although he carried a quilt rolled into a cylinder on his shoulder, and a man was wrapped in the quilt, the hound jumped high and low, avoiding the night watch, and was at ease, like walking in the woods.
He finally walked out of the logistics management area and into a denser wood, and not far from it was a small stream, and on a tree beside the stream was tethered a tall war horse, and the tail of the horse was tied to the tail of the hunting dog's marching bag, which contained a change of clothes and small tents and other miscellaneous items.
The hound threw Sansa to the ground and said, "Don't shout, little bird, and I'll take the thing out of your mouth." ”
Sansa sat up from the loose covers and nodded vigorously.
But the hound noticed that something was wrong, he lit the flint, lit the torch, in front of him was a young woman, with a normal appearance, slightly dark skin, he knew this woman, the maid who oiled, sharpened the sword, and repaired the armor of the magic mountain, her name was Anna, and her husband was the personal attendant of the magic mountain, called Norris, and Anna and Norris had a little daughter, named Belle.
"you!" scolded the hound.
He stood up, back and forth, a dozen torches were lit, and the Magic Mountain stood in the woods, as if it had been waiting for him here.
"I should have thought that you would send someone to keep an eye on Sansa's every move. The Hound cursed viciously.
"Sansa, no one can move, and no one can take it away. The magic mountain came over, holding a bag of golden dragons in his hand, and as soon as he raised his hand, the golden dragon flew over, and the hound reached out and grabbed it, and it was estimated that there were fifty, "If it were anyone else, I would have slaughtered him." ”
"Why didn't you slaughter me?"
"You are my brother, the only blood relative. ”
The hound stared at the magic mountain, and wanted to pull out a short knife and stab it into the mouth of the magic mountain, this guy is a brute, he said coldly: "What about the father and the little sister?"
The magic mountain was silent, and the two brothers looked at each other: "I know I can't explain it, I can only say that I was sick at that time, and that is not who I am now." “
The hound stared at the magic mountain: "Then who are you now? Don't think that you have money, if you have someone, you will become more cunning, and you will be able to wash away your sins, you will always be a family killer, more sinful than killing kings, betrayal, slaughter and **." The hound glanced at the guards of the Demon Mountain who had angry faces and pressed their hands to the hilts of their swords, and said contemptuously, "What, you want these sissies under your command to slaughter me?"
Magic Mountain waved his hand.
The guards glared angrily and got out of the way.
The hound shook the golden dragon in his hand, raised his hand, and with a bang, the golden dragon fell into the stream: "I won't take your money!"
"It's not for you. ”
"Oh, what do you want me to do?"
"If you're going to the north, just tell Stark that Sansa Stark is safe with me. ”
"Oh?!, do you want to tell Stark Sansa that she worked as a horseman and then as a laundryman?"
"Actually, Sansa first learned to cook. Moshan said, "My army does not raise nobles or idlers, and if she wants to eat, she has to work." She needs to learn the most basic skills in life, and I'm helping her. ”
"If I go north and tell Stark about Sansa, the bag of golden dragons will be mine?"
"Yes, it's fair to pay you for the letter. ”
The hound sneered: "Magic Mountain, I won't do anything for you anymore, and I won't bring you a letter, let alone a bag of golden dragons, even if it's two, three, or ten, I'm sorry, I'm not available!"
"That's good!" Moshan looked at Anna, who was already standing up, "Are you alright?!"
"It's all right, sir. ”
"Let's go!" exclaimed Magic Mountain.
ComWarner brought the Red Smoke Beast, Norris brought a war horse for his wife, the guards mounted one after another, and the Magic Mountain took the lead.
Anna said, "My lord, that bag of golden dragon ......"
That's fifty golden dragons, a lot of money, very ladylike sinking to the shallow bottom of the water, not moving.
"No, Anna!" said the Magic Mountain.
"Yes, sir!"
The group roared away, and in an instant, they were all clean, and the quilt was taken away by Anna.
The hound turned over and got on his horse, where should he go? Since the magic mountain is going in the northwest direction, then he will go in the northeast direction. The hoofs sounded, and the hound disappeared into the forest.
After a while, the sound of horses' hooves sounded again in the dense forest, from far to near, the sound of hooves came from the northeast direction, the man turned over and dismounted, dropped the reins, made a noise, stepped into the stream, he had the location of the golden dragon in his mind, stretched out his hand in the water and touched it, the bag of golden dragon was still there, pick it up, heavy.
"People are guilty, but the golden dragon is not guilty. The person muttered, "If Lao Tzu goes to the north, it is not considered that he took his money for nothing." ”
After a while, the horse's hooves sounded, and it headed northeast, never turning back......
In the tent of the Chinese army in the Magic Mountain, the big red candles lit brightly, and the attendants Comwarner and Norris hurried back.
Comwarner said, "Lord Magic Mountain, Sandor Cregan really went and returned, taking the bag of golden dragons. ”
Moshan nodded and did not speak.
Sansa sat beside the Magic Mountain, and the captain of the Magic Mountain's guard, Erin, the former Northern Guard, Marwyn, and others were in the big tent. The people of the North knew Sansa, and no one called her Miss, and no guards came up to recognize her.
Sansa was very reserved, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, with messy hair and dirty clothes, and already had the temperament of the dirty wild boy Arya that she remembered.
"Erin, send Sansa back. Magic Mountain said.
"Yes, sir. ”
Sansa said, "Lord Magic Mountain, I can go back by myself. ”
Sansa was reluctant to let the traitor send her back, she didn't want to talk to Erin, she didn't want to see Harwyn and the others. Harwin's father was the stable master of Winterfell for decades. Killed in the massacre of the Prime Minister's Tower, Sansa believes that Harwyn is not half as brave as his father Hulun.
That night, the little devil secretly sent her on the boat, the boat arrived at the mouth of the Blackwater River, encountered the patrol fleet of the Magic Mountain, she was captured, became the prisoner of the Magic Mountain, at the beginning she was so nervous to death, I don't know what her fate will be next? After the Magic Mountain handed her back, she didn't dare to imagine how she would be viciously tortured by Joffrey, Tywin, Cersei and others, who knew that the Magic Mountain directly threw her into his servant team as a female worker, and she has been confused until today.
Although she worked very hard here, and there were often vulgar soldiers who teased her with unspeakable words, she felt many, many times better here than in the palace than in the cruel, cold-blooded and arrogant Joffrey, compared to the Maigar House and the Virgin House, and compared to the sinister scheming and vicious language of Queen Cersei.
"Anna, Norris, go back with Sansa. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
Sansa stood up, as long as it wasn't for Erin, Marwyne and other northern guards to send her, she would.
The three of them walked to the door of the big tent together, and Sansa saw the war horses coming and going outside the big tent, all of them were thoroughbred horses from the Crab Claw Peninsula, and although there were not many cavalry coming, the atmosphere was ominous, as if a battle was about to be fought.
How could there be a war in the western border with the king's domain?
Magic Mountain went to the west this time, for the sake of speed, only cavalry and logistics baggage. Cavalry includes heavy cavalry, light cavalry, and archers. Tens of thousands of infantrymen and Lady Jeanne and Lady Dortikuntina will remain in King's Landing, and when the navy is completed, Lady Jenny will return to Dragonstone with her troops.
After the Demon Mountain King's Landing Breaking City War, the military power is stronger and more famous, on the edge of the king's territory, in front of it is the western territory that has been crippled, who dares to fight him?!
Sansa wondered, she saw this unusual scene in the middle of the night, but she knew not to ask, being a person who didn't ask questions, she had a better chance of survival.
"Sansa!" Magic Mountain called out to her, "maybe you'll want to know a piece of news. ”
"Yes, sir. Sansa responds submissively, mechanical and dull. This is the absolute obedience she develops when dealing with Joffrey and Cersei.
Magic Mountain looked at Sansa: "Well, I have good news for you, your father appeared in the Twin River City, together with your brother Rob Stark, they thwarted the 'wedding betrayal' designed by Frey and Luce Burton, and they are currently gathering the forces of the Frey family, the forces of Bolton's once rebels, and the forces of the North, and are trying to find a way to attack the Kalin Bay controlled by the Iron Folk to retake the North. ”
Sansa immediately listened attentively: "Thank you, sir, thank you, I am grateful, may I ask Lord Duke, what is 'wedding betrayal'?!"
"It's already late at night, let's go back first. The Demon Mountain stood up, and in the darkness outside, the red smoke beast's eyes glowed red, which was terrifying.
"I can wait a while...... My lord...... I'm not in a hurry...... Have you heard from my sister Arya? and my mother...... Is she okay?"
"Well, I have very important business to attend to, and I don't have time to go into detail for the time being, but you can rest assured that Arya and your mother are fine, and they are fine. “
"Really?" Sansa moved, surprised and delighted, "That's great, is Arya back in Winterfell?" ”
"She didn't return to Winterfell. The Magic Mountain stood up, Captain Erin and several guards began to put on the plate armor for the Demon Mountain, very heavy and thick plate armor, this is about to go to war, but here, Sansa knows that there are no enemies, but she cares more about her relatives, so she looks at the Demon Mountain intently and listens to him.
"Winterfell has been overrun by someone else, Rams, the bastard son of Luthporton, and when I'm done, I'll be willing to tell you what I want to know. ”
"Yes, sir. I am truly grateful to you and cannot thank you enough. Sansa said, a little incoherent, the first time she heard so much news about her family, she couldn't hold back her excitement, she was very eager to stay by the side of the Magic Mountain, so that she could know the news of her family as soon as possible, "I beg you to let me be your maid-in-waiting, honorable duke, please let me serve you, I will learn to cook, laundry, oil armor, sharpen swords, mend cloaks, and make arrows." I won't disappoint you, my lord, I promise you!"
Magic Mountain glanced at Anna, "Okay, Anna, you arrange for Sansa." “
"Yes, sir. ”
Sansa was overjoyed: "Dear Duke, please let me serve you now, is your lord going on a campaign?" Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked. Excuse me, my lord, do I need to prepare dry food, wine and water for you?"
"It's all ready, Sansa. Magic Mountain said.
Sansa wanted to continue asking about her family, but the mountain had already put on a huge flat-topped helmet, and the guards had already dressed his plate armor and were tying the armor on his legs.
Outside, there are guards putting on soft armor for the Red Smoke Beast.
The atmosphere was tense, and the leaders and cavalry of the Crab Claw Peninsula looked at people like an awl!
Sansa had to resist the urge to ask. Her heart was beating so badly, her father was in the Twin Rivers, and she was fine, and Arya was fine, and her mother was fine, and oh my God, how lucky, the gods forbid.
Sansa felt like she was fainting with excitement.
Magic Mountain dressed everything and strode out of the huge Chinese army tent.
Sansa finally couldn't help it: "Dear Duke, can I ask you, when will you be back......?"
The magic mountain suddenly turned around and stared at Sansa, Sansa was startled, knowing that she had lost her words and lost her temper, she hurriedly lowered her head, almost humbly to kneel: "Honorable Duke, please forgive me, I was too excited to hear the news of my family, I was wrong, please ......"
Outside, the sound of horses' hooves exploded, and the Magic Mountain had already walked away with dozens of cavalry from the Crab Claw Peninsula!
It is not an abnormal purebred war horse of the Crab Claw Peninsula, and in the middle of the night, it can't keep up with the speed of the Red Smoke Beast.
Sansa was shocked to find that Erin, Malwyn, Norris, ComWarner, Langengal, Polivier, Dunson, Sweetmouth Raff, Arrow, Angel, Julie, and other famous generals and elite guards of the Klegane Army were all in place and did not go with the Magic Mountain.
