In the fireplace, red flames flickered, and shadows writhed on the gray walls.

The wooden floor was covered with a carpet of incense, the blue and red of Tully's house.

Jones, who had just taken a hot bath, was lying lazily on a white pine chair and eating grilled sausages.

He only had a cuirass on his body, which was much better than the time he had slept in the armor during the time he had retreated to Riverrun.

On the right arm of the chair rested a huge black heavy sword, allowing him to swing it as fast as he could.

Attached to the hall was a bedroom and a shower, with a huge feather bed, carved with trout jumping on all four legs of mahogany, and the floor and bathtub of the bathhouse covered with glazed porcelain from across the narrow sea, with scenes of young boys and girls in love, delicate to the point of luxury.

Even the top-notch rooms of the inn that Jones encountered were not as luxurious as here, and there were at least hundreds of such rooms in the fort of Riverrun......

......

The clanging sound of hoops was heard.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

There was a knock on the heavy wooden door.

"Is it Maester Weyman?"

"It's me," an old voice said.

Jones hurriedly put down the roasted sausage, wiped his wet hair, opened the heavy oak door, and invited the old bachelor who had come to Riverrun when Duke Tully was young.

"Xuecheng's reply to you, cough cough, seal wax, you confirm some. The hunchbacked old bachelor raised the rolled-up letter in his hand and coughed.

After Jones got his hands on it, he looked closely and saw that the sealing wax was still working, and Dr. Malween's personal seal on the wax was intact.

"There is no need to doubt the quality of Bachelor Weyman," Jones said with a smile.

The old bachelor ignored Jones's compliment, and muttered as he walked out, "Ahem, it's hard to talk to you and look up." ”

The atmosphere became a little awkward, and Jones casually said, "I brought you an old acquaintance, have you seen Cobain?"

"Ahem, he's been deprived of his bachelor's necklace, what qualifications does he have to talk to me...... But he and people like you, who were expelled by the school city and the family, should be able to talk. The old guy coughed and said, and at last he flashed out of Jones's room.

"Read a few more books, and see what you can do," Jones grumbled to himself, but he also understood that Bachelor Weiman was the norm, and those who didn't care about it like Lady Lewyn were the minority.

In the entire Westeros continent, most of the books are locked in the school city, where the bookshelves are one after another, and many can make people get lost, and most civilians will never touch a book in their lifetime, so the bachelors who come out of the school city are naturally arrogant in their hearts.

......

Taking the letter apart, Jones read it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more solemn his face became.

"Noble Heart, the fire in the Summer Hall, the witch, the son of the forest, well, you want me to go to the school city, whatever time you want...... How did Dr. Marween get the mystery of the gods? ”

Malwyn's reply was half-concealed, and he was a little sorry for the advanced mathematics and basic physics that Jones had given him.

Jones sighed helplessly, and after making sure he hadn't missed anything, he threw the letter into the fire in the fireplace.

White paper, twisted and reduced to ashes.

......

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The knock sounded again, but this time it was very powerful.

"Who?"

There was no response from behind the door.

"Assassins don't knock on doors," Jones thought to himself, and since Jon didn't stop him from setting up a family, he probably wouldn't use his sword in the inner fort of the Tullys, but he was a little wary of opening the door.

......

I saw Robb standing outside the door with a stern face, holding a huge roll of yellowed parchment in his hand.

He had the same blue eyes and reddish-brown hair as Mrs. Caitlin, and the edges and corners of his face were becoming more and more distinct like Jones's, and now his face was tense, and Duke Ed was more like him.

"Your Excellency!"

"There are no adults here, only good brother Robb," Robb said, pretending to be serious, "If you call me an adult again, I can turn around and leave." ”

"Haha," Jones laughed, he didn't want to call someone else an adult, "Robb. ”

"It's been a long time since we've talked like friends," Robb said, hugging Jones hard and patting him on the back.

"You have your pressure, I can understand that. Jones said, inviting him into the room.

"I am always grateful for your help. Robb said sincerely, "But you're so strong now, I can't believe you're the guy who always rides the slowest." ”

"Haha, Snow is very disgusted by this. ”

"He's a hard worker, and of course he hates you for being slow at what you do. ”

"Snow...... He's been a night watchman, and I haven't heard anything back from him," Jones muttered, telling a white lie, "and on the other hand, I've received word from the school town that the Wraiths may be real and are heading south. ”

Robb was obviously taken aback, and said with some uneasiness, "My father originally planned to gather the vassals of the northern realm to completely solve the savage king Mance, but at that time, King Robert went north and interrupted his plan, why did the legendary ghost appear now?"

"But...... The Great Wall of Desperation has been standing for more than 8,000 years, and he is not in a hurry at this time, so he still waits to rescue his father and let him decide. ”

"At least we can do something to strengthen our defenses?" Jones asked tentatively.

"There are indeed some, and they are also the original plans of my father, and I will have to discuss them with the other Earls of the North when I go back. "The most important thing is the war at hand, such as the defeat at the Battle of the Green Fork. ”

"I have listened to the reports of Bolton and Severn respectively, and Count Severn is very guilty that he has not defeated Von Kai's heavy cavalry, and Bolton has also been wounded, and he has a lot of complaints about sending him to fight a decisive battle without knowing the details of Tywin's army. But I've heard them all mention you, so I'd like to ask you about the process. ”

Jones nodded and said, "I chased the Demon Mountain all the way to the battlefield, and then dealt with him first, and then united with Earl Severn to kill Kaivon's heavy cavalry, and almost captured Kaivon at that time, but at that time, Tywin led a large army and a crossbow to appear, and finally had to retreat." ”

"That's what Burton said, after Tywin appeared, the casualties were too great, and he sounded the horn of retreat in advance in order to save the soldiers in the north," Robb frowned deeply.

Jones hesitated for a moment, thinking that Robb was not a man who could not keep his word, and said solemnly, "But Daisy Mormont is suspicious of Bolton's command. ”

"Daisy?she?" Robb looked puzzled, wasn't Daisy in Twin Cities, and what did it have to do with Jones?

"I saved her, and she told me that Bolton had made her the vanguard, but the follow-up forces came back very late, almost annihilating them, and the archers of the Frey family were scattered almost instantaneously as soon as they encountered obstacles. ”

Robb snorted lightly, "The Riverlands are different from our northern borders, and their combat power ...... However, this time the logistics of our infantry army are all in charge of the Twin Rivers, and the descendants of the Marquis of Wade have also died eight, and I really can't condemn him again. ”

As for Daisy's accusation, a benevolent man cannot be a commander, and a commander and a striker naturally see things differently. Robb shook his head.

"Why did you choose Bolton as the commander, I always felt that he was a little ...... Somewhat unreliable. Jones whispered, this sentence can be said to be very bold, and a bit like a villain's slander, if Bolton knows, the two will really have a feud.

"Instead of Bolton, will you choose the grumpy Jon and Karstark?" Robb's voice raised a lot, and then he sighed, "Actually, I'm also a little afraid of Bolton, his gray eyes are always like dead people, and they don't fluctuate, so I want the enemy to be afraid of him too." ”

"It didn't work very well, and the lion obviously didn't care. Jones also said helplessly.

"But I see someone's secret," Robb said suddenly, looking him up and down.

"What's the secret?"

"You and Daisy, you're the famous hedgehog of the North," Robb quipped with a laugh.

"Hey," Jones just smiled and didn't speak.

"It looks like my mother's plan is about to fall through once again," said Robb, with some pity.

Seeing Jones's puzzled look, he continued, "My sister Sansa will dissolve her marriage with Joffrey and return to Stark, which is one of the basic conditions of the negotiations. Mother would not let Sansa marry away again, so he was interested in choosing you at the time, after all, it was you who caught the kingkiller, but later Count Karstark found out, and he said that Arry was already on her way south, so Mother had to give up. ”

"Sansa, the image is so vague that I have forgotten what it looks like, but no one can affect me now. Jones thought to himself, shook his head with a smile and said, "It seems that I can't be your brother-in-law." ”

"But you are right, it is you who guarded Riverrun, captured the monarch killer, killed the Demon Mountain, and brought back the cold ice, and I discussed with my mother and Uncle Brinndon that the merit cannot be buried, and the brave must also be rewarded. ”

As he spoke, Robb spread out the yellowed parchment in his hand and said,

"Pick a territory, Earl Jones. ”
