The Red Wasteland is a barren land on the continent of Essos, its land is red, dry and lifeless, there are few trees, the few that are also many and twisted, there is not much to survive, there is little forage, and the water in the shallow pond is bitter and smelly.

And in this endless, wind-damaged field, Daenerys staggered along with the Dothraki who were willing to follow her, surrounded by hunger and thirst, without food, without water, without direction, without even a destination.

Most of them are gone, and only a few women remain, and even fewer men are combat-ready.

As she walked, a white horse suddenly fell to the ground, and Daenerys hurriedly put the young dragon on her shoulder into the box and hurried over.

Gently stroking the white horse's head, Daenerys looked at Sir Jorah pleadingly, only to see Jorah shake her head silently.

"She was Drogo's first gift to me. Daenerys looked sadly at the white horse on the ground.

"I remember. Jorah nodded.

"I swore to protect them, I promised to let their enemies die a painful death, but how can I end hunger. Daenerys muttered to herself, as if asking Jorah, and then to herself, "When will it end?" ”

It's been two days of walking, and there is still no hope, who can survive here except for the low hills and the dry riverbed, Daenerys looked up into the distance, there was no trace of human population there.

"This is the east I've never been to, and there is an end to everything, even the red moors. Jorah answered Daenerys' question in the affirmative, but in fact, he didn't know if they would make it to that end, and maybe they would be a pile of dry bones before they did.

"Are you sure there is no other way?"

"If we enter Lazarin from the south, the sheep people will kill us and take away the dragon. Pointing to the south, Chorah said, then only to the west, "If we pass through the Dothrak Sea to the west, and if we meet Karatha, they will kill us and take the dragon." ”

"No one can take my dragon!" Daenerys trembled with anger.

"Young dragons are too fragile to fight, and so are your people, and you have to be their pillar. Jorah patiently comforted.

Yes, I can't give up, I'm their pillar, Jorah's comfort inspired Daenerys, the strength of this strong woman's heart, I saw Daenerys stand up firmly, and called the three strongest Dothraki men in the group: "Lacarlo, Ogun and Gonzaro, take our only remaining horses, and choose one direction each." ”

"What are we looking for?" said Lacarlo, confused.

"Cities, whether uninhabited, caravans, tribes, waters, lakes, or seas, look at how big the Red Heath is, what is next to it. ”

"Yes, blood of my blood" The three of them looked at each other and hammered their chests hard.

Drink, drink, drink, three horses, three men went in three different directions, with everyone's hopes.

Pull back to Ma Shen, since leaving King's Landing, there has been no encirclement and interception along the way, follow the path, and arrive at Harrenhal very smoothly, how can there be so many accidents in the world, you have to go through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties to send Ed back, unless there are still gods and Buddhas on your head deliberately to find fault with you.

"Harrenhal, I'm in charge of Harrenhal, Lord Eddard, let's spend the night here tonight. Ma Shen pointed to the tall Harrenhal walls in front of him and turned his head.

"Ahh Yes.. There was a strange look on Ed's vicissitudes of life, wasn't this Harrenhal the territory of Lady He'an before.

"That's right, Lord Eddard, since Duke Tywin led an army of 10,000 to break through into the Riverlands, Lady He'an went outside to find reinforcements first, and asked me to help her manage Harrenhal for the time being. In response to Ed's question, Ma Shen explained.

"Ahh Ed has no doubts, there are many cases of entrusting trusted people to manage castles, such as Duke Lanli's castle is entrusted to trusted people.

Standing in the car and looking down at the city gate, Ma Shen noticed that the soldiers surrounding the city outside Harrenhal were gone, the city gate was wide open, the residents came and went, and several guards wearing red armor and holding spears were guarding the city gate.

This armor is quite familiar, it seems that Jeffs put on those captured Lannister armor for the soldiers, Ma Shen laughed secretly, he didn't do this kind of thing himself.

Don't worry that Harrenhal has been taken over by the Lannisters, and the flags of the nine black bats representing the Hean family are flying at the head of the city.

Driving the carriage around to the city gate, a vigilant guard instantly looked over: "Where are you from, stranger?" ”

The dutiful gatekeeper is really young and energetic, which is like those old fritters in King's Landing, if he can't move much, he won't move much.

"Omar, it's me, go and inform Jeffs, and I'm back. Ma Shen said with a smile, this young guard has an impression of himself, and he has personally recruited it.

"The voice. . . Omar looked at Ma Shen in surprise, "You are Lord Ma Shen, why are you like a different person." ”

"I just put a few patches of beard and drew something on my face, so let's hurry up. Ma Shen commanded.

"Yes, sir," Omar said in a hurry, informing Jeffs.

When Ma Shen slowly drove the carriage to the inner fort, Jeffs was already waiting at the door, and he was greeted with a big hug: "Sir, I really sweated for you when I heard that timid Loger say that you went to King's Landing." ”

After a pleasant greeting, Jeffs noticed Ed in the carriage, "This is... Your father?"

"I want to say yes, but unfortunately not," Ma Shen pouted, "this is Eddard Stark, Lord Eddard. ”

"Eddard Stark!" Jeffs was stunned for a moment, but after taking a closer look at Ed in the carriage, he suddenly frowned, "I met Duke Ed more than ten years ago, how does he look different from before, did you recognize the wrong person, sir"

"Quietly, I've put on Eddard's makeup, I'll talk about it later. Ma Shen didn't want to say anything, so he turned to Ed in the carriage with a smile and said, "Lord Eddard, I'll take you to rest." ”

After setting Ed up, Ma Shen finally had time to sit down with Jeffs and asked the question he was most concerned about at the moment: "Where is Robb, the young wolf master, now?"

Jeffs poured a glass of red wine into Ma Shen's glass: "It should still be on the other side of the Red Fork River." ”

"Why is it still there. "Ma Shen is a little strange, it stands to reason that after a few days, he should be almost in Harrenhal.

"It's angry to say that Duke Tywin sent someone to set fire to the river between the Lake of God's Eye and the Red Fork River before retreating, and you can see the tragedy there a little bit later, the flames held back the pursuit of Robb's army, and burned down the forests, crops, and houses. Jeffs clenched his fists in anger, how many people would starve to death if these Lannister bitches burned everything to buy them time to retreat.

"They're dogs jumping off the wall. Ma Shen said lightly, "How many soldiers are there in the city at present?"

"About 400 of them, about the same as when you left a few days ago, and haven't disbanded them yet. ”

"Send back the men who don't want to continue to be soldiers, we don't have so much food to feed so many soldiers, and tomorrow I'll take 20 soldiers with me to take Lord Ed home. Ma Shen pondered for a moment, since Tywin set the fire, which meant that there would be less food in the future, he would definitely have to reduce the number of establishments.

"Yes, sir," Jeffs replied respectfully.

"Then you're busy. Ma Shen was leaving, and suddenly remembered Zhou Shijie who he brought back from the Giant World, "By the way, how is Zhou Shijie?"

"Axis envoy, he's recovering well, and he should be able to recover soon. Jeffs read Zhou Shijie's name with an awkward face.

"I'm going to see him. ”

Early the next morning, Ma Shen and twenty soldiers protected Eddard all the way to Robb's army in the north.
