If you can run, the monk can't run the temple, and as the owner of the night watchman's business, it is undoubtedly irresponsible to Nina and other subordinates and followers to leave. To avoid it, you must also have the right excuse and timing. Luckily, Lan Li didn't rush to recruit Egger as Lord of the Seven Kingdoms as soon as he took King's Landing, which gave Egg time to prepare.

The new owner of the Iron Throne first drew a scoop with a gourd, and the same amnesty decree pardoned the golden robes who assisted Stannis in defending the city on the day of the break, and then while rewarding the heroes, he quickly swept away the already weak foundations and forces of Eddard Stark and Stannis in the city, and quickly began to mobilize resources as a king, strengthening the formation of a new royal fleet on the basis of the Storm's End fleet, so as to quickly "pacify" Dragonstone, get rid of the brother, and completely end this battle for the throne.

The good news is that, in order to legitimize his rule, Lance presented himself as Robert's designated heir, and fully recognized all of Robert's previous decrees, including the "Night Watch Tax Exemption Act".

＊＊＊

Before crossing over, Iger was also fooled by the old blacksmith Donald Noe's comment that "Robert is real steel, Stannis is pure iron, and Blue Rite is bright copper", and he despised Blue Rite because of this...... But if you think about it carefully, what is the difference between this sentence and "the northerners can fight against ten with one"? Both are biased evaluations with strong subjective colors.

Compared to the two brothers, Lan Li is just too young to prove himself. Didn't Tywin despise the young wolf lord because of Robb's age, but after the war, he was not sure to lose every battle, and even his own son Jaime was arrested?

In terms of what he has seen and heard since coming to the world of Ice and Fire, to be honest, Iger feels that Lan Li is more suitable to be a king than Stannis. Indeed, Lan Li has no commendable ability except for his good popularity and personal charm, and he can act, but Liu Bang has also admitted that he is "not as good as Zhang Liang in strategy, not as good as Xiao He in governing the country, and not as good as Han Xin in war", these shortcomings have affected him to become one of the most famous kings in the ages?

A ruler, especially a ruler in the era of feudal lords, is not the key to his own personal ability, but he is a qualified king if he can win over the nobles under his command, balance the forces of all parties, and govern the country with the right talents. Not to mention anything else, just by virtue of "befriending the princes and princes" and "being willing to listen to Margaery's advice and take the initiative to recruit talents", Lan Li will be a qualified king.

With Lan Li's personal charm and Margaery's scheming, and backed by the resources of Riverlands, as long as Eddard Stark is used as a hostage, a truce with the three northern regions can be resolved, and Stannis will be resolved...... As long as the Tyrells are not discouraged as a relative, Lan Li's throne will sit as firmly as his brother Robert.

However, if you say a thousand ways and ten thousand, even if Lan Li is really a rare Mingjun in the ages...... Iger would never risk his life to join a king who could be killed by magic at any moment.

......

The wedding of the new king and queen is being prepared intensely, but the world will not stop when the Blue Rite takes King's Landing. News continued to come from all over the world: on the battlefield in the west, the northern army suddenly moved south and attacked the Riverlands army, but the latter held his ground under the steady command of the veteran Randolph Tully, and voluntarily withdrew from the battlefield to stop further losses before he was seriously injured.

Subsequently, the remaining Four-Nation forces without Riverbend and Storm swept across the entire western frontier except for the heavily garrisoned cities of Castle Rock and Lannisport...... As the armies of the North, Riverlands, and Vales reaped the benefits of exiting the Westside to rescue Eddard Stark in King's Landing, the lone army of Dorn was forced to abandon their desire to avenge the Lannisters by striking a truce with the Westside after receiving the head of Gregor Clegane, the Magic Mountain...... With the guarantee of "not participating in the dispute between the two deer", Oberon Martell exchanged for the right of way to return to Dorne through the river bend, and under the attention of all forces, the seven countries and one major power hid back to their hometown to recuperate.

In addition to the dog-eat-dog among the princes of the Seven Kingdoms, the pirates, bandits and other outlaws who landed on the east coast of Westeros have also taken advantage of the war to become more and more rampant, and there has even been news that someone has captured small villages and castles along the coast.

......

While Lan Li and Margaery, the elf couple, were too anxious to cope with the mess and had no time to take care of themselves, Egg arranged everything for the Night's Watch property after he left in just a few days, and was ready to get out of this grand chaos.

He spent half a day writing an otherworldly version of "Chen Qing Table": first thanked Lan Li for his courtesy and attention, and then praised and praised the new king, and then changed the conversation, mentioning that the desperate Great Wall is facing the dual threat of savages and strange ghosts - at a time when the northern frontier of the Seven Kingdoms is facing an unprecedented and huge crisis, he really can't throw away the oath of life and death brothers, and enjoy a comfortable life in the south. In the prime of life, he has more opportunities to serve the Seven Kingdoms, but the threat to the Night's Watch and all of Westeros is a once-in-a-millennium threat...... After a lot of rumbling in Rory's bar, he corrected his attitude: to solve the crisis outside the country, he will take the initiative to return to the south, and do his best for His Majesty Lan Li.

Whether the new king believes his assurances or not is not the key, what Iger wants is to use the righteousness of his family and country so that the other party cannot openly attack and take the initiative to deal with himself and the Night's Watch industry...... Of course, for the sake of insurance, Iger also prepared a gift for Lan Li and Margaery's wedding: a chandelier made of various crystals and gemstones, reflecting the daylight during the day and lighting the oil lamp at the heart at night, to keep the room colorful, like the lights in a modern ballroom.

If the rumor that Lan Li likes color is true, then he will definitely like this gift...... And his own "love form" will also be handed over to the blue gift at the same time as this wedding gift. It is said that if Lan Li still has to retaliate against the night watchman in this case, Iger can only honestly wait for Melisandre to make a move.

......

In order to avoid accidents, Iger decided to cut first and then play. As soon as martial law was lifted in King's Landing, he left with his men and horses without stopping. Due to Stannis' retreat to Dragonstone, Blue Lane blocked the route to Blackwater Bay. The port outside King's Landing was devastatedly destroyed and demolished in the war, and Iger had to travel overland on his way back to the Wall.

With the prestige of surviving the two crises of the Night's Watch industry, double pay and a series of benefits, Egger managed to recruit fifty soldiers of the Night's Watch Logistics Security Team before leaving, and these people voluntarily changed from the status of "Night's Watch Industrial Security" to the "Armed Forces of the Night's Watch Logistics Department", following the Chief Logistics Officer north and only following his instructions. Coupled with some personnel transporting grain and grass materials, the entire northbound team has a scale of nearly 100 people...... Arya took the form of a boy, and mixed in the disguise of Egger's personal attendant, which was not at all conspicuous.

With such a large contingent and sensitive war materials, and even more so moving north to the enemy's sphere of influence, it stands to reason that it is impossible to pass through the interrogation and interrogation of the garrison...... But Egger was now a little bit of a man, and with a little operation, he was able to get out of the city with ease, and soon left the walls of King's Landing behind.

Nearly a year later, Iger is once again heading to the place where he had done everything he could to leave, where the story had begun. With a cartload of supplies and energetic and high-morale directly subordinate troops, it actually tasted like returning home.

......

The first two days of their journey back north had not been troubled, and with the intent of avoiding trouble as quickly as possible, the procession was moving so fast that in a day's time they would leave the royal realm and enter the confines of the Riverlands. Once in the territory of the Tullian princes, Arya was safe.

But the more they feared something, the more something came, and at noon on the third day, a small group of golden-robed men caught up with them.
