Chapter 17: Ran away

Winterfell

Bran doesn't remember his fall, he lost it, but his crippled legs proved it.

He almost died, and every time he saw the gargoyles on the top of the Shoubao Tower, which had been beaten by wind and rain, he felt a strange tightness in his abdomen.

Now he can't climb, walk, run, or practice swords, and even his former dream of being a knight has been shattered.

Ever since Robb Stark went on his expedition, Bran has been Lord of Winterfell.

A vassal asks Bran for money to repair the castle in the council chamber, and he complains a little bit about Robb going to war with his own men.

Bran, who was originally careless, immediately replied to him.

"Robb is your king. ”

The vassals were speechless, and the atmosphere began to stiffen a little.

Maester Luwen came to the rescue and lent him a group of masons to go back and repair the wall.

Bran didn't quite understand Ruwen and Muddy's attitude.

Lu Wen patiently taught, "Compassion is also one of the duties of the Lord of Winterfell, besides, if he is in front of you for a day, don't you think it's an eyesore?"

Bran prefers the hard stone chairs by the window to the warm and cozy feather bed blankets. Lying on the bed, the walls pressed against him, the heavy ceiling hanging overhead, the bedroom was his cell, Winterfell was his prison. Yet, outside the window, the world still calls to him.

Although he could not walk, climb, hunt, or practice with a wooden sword as before, he could see with his eyes.

He loved to sit in front of the window and watch the candles and fires in the diamond-shaped glass lattices in the distance light up the towers and halls of Winterfell, and he loved to listen to the ice wolves singing to the stars.

Lately, he has often dreamed of wolves.

This time, he dreamed that he had turned into a wolf and ran to the edge of the pond.

The next day, he told Addo to carry him on his back to the pond.

On the way, he looked up, saw a red trail in the sky, and said, "Everyone says that a comet in the sky means that Robb's army will return in triumph. “

The savage maid Osa also saw the comet, but disagreed, saying, "The comet only represents one thing. ”

Dragon!

Lynn writes a letter for Raven to pass on to Rodat in the Three Sisters Islands.

Watching the raven fly away from the window, Lynn clenched his fists.

However, before Lynn could fully launch the ambush business, a bad news instantly shattered his confidence.

Hood, the leader of the guards, came to the lord's mansion with an anxious look on his face.

"Sir, your housekeeper didn't come to work today. ”

It's only been a few days on the job to be a miner.

Lynn was a little surprised, was she ashamed that she didn't want the craftsmen to bury those nails while they were repairing the docks, and this was planning to work in protest?

However, looking at the somber expression of the guard Hood, Lynn quickly overturned his thoughts.

He said to Hood, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Hood first gave a salute, "It's the fault of the subordinates, the guards sent by the subordinates to follow Miss Dany, failed to recover her, Miss Dani secretly rode a horse in the stable, and left the fishing village harbor early in the morning!"

Lynn frowned and said in disbelief, "You mean she ran away?"

"For now, that's the case," Hood said cautiously.

Then he took a sip again, "My lord, you said that we trust her so much, and she actually did such a treacherous thing, do you want me to personally lead someone to chase her and catch her so that he can understand the fate of the betrayer?"

"You go and arrange for a few guards to ride after you," Lynn thought for a moment with her hands behind her back, and then said, "She must be going in the direction of Riverrun, and let your men sneak into the city with you." ”

Hood hurriedly said, "I'll have someone arrest that girl right away, she won't be able to run away from Riverrun." ”

Lynn was stunned when she heard this, watched Hood stride around, and was about to walk out of the house, so she hurriedly waved and shouted: "You come back, I asked you to send someone to secretly protect my housekeeper, who let me arrest someone?"

"Huh?"

Hood was stunned at the door, a little dumbfounded, not understanding which one the lord was singing.

Lynn didn't have time to explain to him, "You do as I tell you, and if Miss Danny is in any danger, make sure your men escort him back, by the way, she's a few people left." ”

Hood nodded in agreement, and hurriedly replied, "One, one man and one horse didn't bring anything, it seems that he is in a hurry." ”

Lynn nodded, that's it, how could she, such a smart little girl, put herself in danger outside in order to steal a horse or protest against her work schedule. For her to leave in such a hurry, she must have received some amazing news, combined with her identity, Lynn guessed that something must have happened in Riverrun.

"Hood, go and inform your guards first, and when you're done, go to Dany's quarters, see if her former maid is there, and bring them over. ”

Hearing this, Hood bowed down in agreement and trotted away.

The housekeeper who was easy to recruit by herself picked a child and ran away, and Lynn had no choice but to go and take care of the renovation of the dock herself.

He stood up and said to the guards guarding the door, "Go to the Cavalry Regiment and inform Commander Harry Kane and ask him to bring someone to the Lord's Mansion to find me." ”

There was a group of craftsmen who had recently been recruited by the Lord's Mansion living in the workshop, and the courtyard was extremely quiet at the moment, and the archers of the cavalry regiment were standing quietly around the courtyard.

This once abandoned manor, once uninhabited, silent and gloomy, is now solemn all around, only the boulders and the silent crowd are silently pouring out the situation of the past owner.

Watching the craftsmen arrive one after another, crowding the garden in the courtyard.

Lynn stood in a flower bed by a dry pool.

Look down at the craftsman who doesn't dare to look directly at him, or look up at the fisherman who looks up curiously.

After a pause, he spoke: "Today, I announce your first work - to renovate the wharf of the port of the fishing village. ”

Lynn's voice was not loud,

But in the quiet courtyard, everyone heard very clearly,

Everyone didn't feel much about getting their first official job, and everyone was still looking at the stage blankly.

If you take the lord's reward, then you should do things for your lord, and it is right.

It's just that when they looked at the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Regiment and appeared carrying heavy boxes, everyone couldn't help but look over.

Lynn asks the box to be opened.

Revealing the long iron nails inside, piled full.

Lynn glanced at the people who were full of doubts, and said in a long tone, "However, this renovation of the dock may be slightly different from the past......
