Chapter 121: Returning with a full load

Suppressing the knot in her chest, Margaery pulled the corners of her mouth again and smiled: "Don't talk about these inconsistencies, Lord Egger, the princes of the Alliance of the Righteous have all been arrested. Since Your Majesty has ordered you to accompany the army, I don't think there is any killing intent, I don't know what will happen to them?"

How could the Night's Watch be able to control such a thing? Margaery seemed to be asking Egger, but in fact she was asking Barristan. She was not very interested in this information, but she had just answered a question from the old guard, and she was driven by the instinct not to suffer, and she unconsciously wanted to ask a question as well—information that seemed useless could sometimes come in handy, as Grandmother said.

"Needless to say, the main culprit, except for a few counts who took the lead in the rebellion, among the accomplices, about a dozen knights who commanded soldiers to guard the blood gate and block the counterinsurgency army, would be sentenced to wear black clothes. The Captain of the Kingsguard said that these were secrets, but there was no need to keep their mouths shut in the face of the Night's Watch officers and the young lady of the Tyrells who would know the news sooner or later: "As for the castles that have been captured, as long as the original owners are willing to admit the rebellion of the owners and offer hostages, they will basically be returned to them—of course, the size of the fiefs will be greatly reduced, and the land that is given to Blackfish and other heroes today is all from the rebels." ”

......

Rebellion can also be forgiven, which is simply unimaginable under the ancient centralized dynasty of the Celestial Empire, but in the Westeros continent of the Ice and Fire World, this plan is the most "appropriate" way to deal with it after discussion and everyone agrees! This kind of strange situation in politics can also be regarded as extremely cold and fire.

In fact, the result of a lenient punishment is influenced by a combination of many factors. The first is Littlefinger's escape, and his run is tantamount to admitting that the rumors are true, and the alliance of the righteous who rebelled and created "justified evidence" naturally won sympathy and solidarity from many quarters.

Secondly, the punishment of the whole family and the nine clans of Zhulian...... In this era of feudal lords, it is not easy to do it at all. It has been decades since the Antle Wolf and Osprey Alliance was first formed, and now it is today, during which these important families in the Vale have been more or less married to the Starks, Tully, and Baratheons, and they must continue to be connected without limit...... Tsk, I'm afraid that after the bloodbath, there will be no nobles left in Westeros.

The above is the explanation that Egger thinks for Robert, but the deepest and most important reason is probably that the Vale families shed blood for Robert in the battle to destroy the dragon, and the king himself did not want to kill them all.

There was a sound of broken cups and plates in the big tent where the "wedding" was being held, and I don't know if it was too much trouble or an accident...... Although Robert had two other Kingsguard by his side, Barristan couldn't rest his mind. Raising the jug and drinking the remaining liquid from it, the old man, who had completed the king's "task", said goodbye to Iger and Margaery, and returned to the tent with the hilt of his sword.

There were only lonely men and widows left on the bench, but there was no charming atmosphere.

As the flower of the High Court, Margaery naturally didn't have the reason to put a hot face on Egg's cold ass, and she was disheartened at the moment, and she didn't have the idea of continuing to talk about clichés, so she glanced at the night watchman and decided to go back to the tent to sleep: "The chief logistics officer, the little woman doesn't bother much, she will stay in King's Landing for a few days before returning to the high court, and then she will visit the office, so that she can see the legendary night watchman industry." ”

Egg breathed a sigh of relief: "Waiting for Miss to come." ”

Leaving with her head held high, turning around, and leaving without looking back, her movements seemed elegant and chic, but Margaery's heart was in a mess: she originally wanted to be a queen, but now she saw that even the duke's wife was about to be unable to keep it. Jaime Lannister was forbidden to marry as a Kingsguard, Duke Arryn was young and ill and did not live long, and Ranley Baratheon had a close relationship with Loras, and since a Knight of the Hundred Flowers was enough to entrap the Duke of Stormlands, it was obviously a huge waste to send himself together as a brother and sister...... Could it be that apart from going to Edmure Tully's bed, it would be difficult for him to make any other contribution to the family?

"Drilling under the covers" was the ultimate trick that her grandmother taught her, and it was extremely lethal, and it was with this trick that the Queen of Thorns became the daughter-in-law of the Tyrells family in the first place...... But there is a huge risk for Edmure to use this trick - if people hold a grudge against their previous coldness and rejection and drive themselves out, it will lose the last bit of dignity as the flower of the high court!

As the most favored youngest daughter of the Tyrells, how could Margaery ever experience the embarrassment of running into a wall at every turn, wanting to send herself out and having no one to take it? In the dim light of the fire and the night, tears of reluctance and humiliation flickered in the corners of the girl's eyes, and she quickened her pace, and soon disappeared from the vision of the night watchman.

***

The farce caused by this unbridled rumor has finally subsided after nearly two months of ravaging the valley. A note leads to a war, and Egger's understanding of "human words are terrible" can be regarded as reaching a new level.

However, with the end of the counterinsurgency in the Vale and the absconding of Littlefinger, the power of Egger's story has finally been unleashed - the most powerful moment of rumor is when it continues to spread and ferment, but once it becomes a fact, it quickly softens and disappears from people's sight like a deflated ball.

After all, no matter how terrible the rumors are, they can only be regarded as fierce beasts at best, and standing with a man-eating beast like War, they immediately seem so harmless to humans and animals.

On the second day after the feast, the 80,000 troops dispersed, each going back to his house to find his own mother—those who did not die were content to go home to farm, leaving only more than a thousand royal lords and valley elites to continue to stay at the foot of the Eagle's Nest Mountain, waiting for Lysa to figure it out, or run out of food and grass to go down the mountain.

The king has summoned the army of the six kingdoms for you to settle the troublesome vassals, and even if you have no problem, you must at least say thank you and show your loyalty...... What's more, there is really a problem now? Jon Arryn has been the prime minister for more than ten years, how many people's interests are involved? You, who is a wife, poisoned him to death for stealing a man, even if Robert does not pursue this account, it is impossible for the other families to let it be settled like this.

Among the founders and backbones of the League of the Righteous and the leaders of the rebels in Robert's mouth, except for Countess Anya Weywood, who was imprisoned inside and outside the Red Keep cell by Robert because she was a woman, the remaining twenty people were sentenced to be unable to redeem themselves, and they had to wear black clothes. With so many nobles filling the garrison of the Great Wall, Mormont's dilemma of running out of available men must have been greatly alleviated...... Iger left the matter entirely in the hands of Yoren, and with Robert appointing a team of soldiers to "escort" them to Castle Black, Raven would be able to handle the matter.

This farce is big enough, and there are many other chores to end up with, but none of this has anything to do with the night watch. One day after the celebration dinner, Iger took his little attendant and set out of the Arryn Valley with the soldiers of the Six Nations who had been sent home through the dilapidated Blood Gate that was being repaired.

After a few days of traveling, Iger returned to the lively and "life-like" capital of the Seven Kingdoms, and walked along the familiar and unfamiliar road to the door of the "Night Watch Office" that he had created.
