is obviously a leader of a party with a heavy burden on his shoulders, but he has a romantic line in his mouth, and as soon as the chicken soup words of "silently protect her for the rest of his life" came out, Egger suddenly felt that everything he ate at noon was churning in his stomach.

Even I feel disgusting, but the funny thing is: the more bloody, fleshy and idealistic things are, the more honest people like Jon who have never seen the world...... No, for an upright and selfless gentleman, the more effective it is. After listening to Egger's comprehensive analysis from two perspectives, Jon sat there for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded, determined to start a sad watchman.

Iger put the trouble down—for now. But it is conceivable that if the Green Prophet really has other intentions, he will inevitably try to get Jon to change his mind through subconscious hints, or simply use the power of the people around him to spread the news and continue to interfere from the side through the mouths of Catelyn Stark and others!

It's not over yet, but how to solve it in the end, Egger has no idea for the time being - just in case, he adds one last thing before Jon leaves, telling him to "if he changes his mind, come back to him, and he will introduce him to the queen".

Seeing off the Castle Black Commander, Egg let out a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair, only to find that his back was slightly drenched with sweat - he had thought that he would only need to convince Jon to follow the arrangement and serve as the vanguard of the "expedition", but suddenly he ran into such a large moth. Unprepared and playing on the spot, Rao is really a big test for an old man like him.

Putting away the papers spread out on the table and stacking them aside, Egg was about to relax. He stood up, pushed the door open, waved his hand under the watchful eye of the guards to signal that he wasn't going anywhere, and then stood on the second-floor balcony of the office building, leaning against the railing and blowing the cold air, breathing in the cold fresh air, as he began to reorganize his thoughts.

He had thought about going to the two red-robed priests for a consultation, but when he really got outside, his brain was cooled down, and he changed his mind again.

As the High Priests of the Red Temple, Melisandre and Machiro are quite reliable spellcasters and cult organizers, both in battle and in their daily lives...... But their fanatical belief in dualistic worldview, and their habit of "seeing the message in the flames and interpreting it for themselves, and believing in the results" doomed them to be unreliable accomplices and trustworthy advisors, which is not only a personal judgment, but also a testament to the original plot.

If I ran over to these two guys now, "I think this green prophet is doing ghosts, what should I do?" The two gods didn't think about it for a moment, and they would directly suggest that they eradicate heresy and convert to the faith of the Lord of Light to protect themselves from evil spirits.

First of all, it's Bran Stark after all.

Whether it was him, the Green Prophet, or both controlling his actions now did not change the fact that he was a Stark, and he must not act rashly unless he was determined to get rid of him and was prepared for the consequences.

In addition, even if you don't think about it, there is a considerable question mark over whether the two red-robed priests can deal with the Green Prophet.

I can't say why, but Egger has a vague intuition based on his own personal experience and experience: Melisandre and Machello and the like are nothing more than magical people, while the Green Prophet has truly transcended the mortal level...... If the ordinary people are 1, then the Red God Priests are at most 1.5, but the Green Prophet starts with 2, and Bran, who is half a level higher than the two Red Robe Priests, is half a level higher at the basic level! Can the two-to-one numerical advantage erase the gap at this level?

In the end, although he didn't believe it, Iger couldn't rule it out: maybe it wasn't that complicated, and that Bran and Caitlyn really just wanted Jon to live a clear life before telling him the truth, but ...... The heart is dark, and everything looks like it has ulterior motives.

Why don't you just go to Bran and talk to him openly and honestly?

The question is, this is not the same as discussing the way to deal with the strangers, even if Bran says, "That's right, you think too much", will you believe it?

I'm afraid not.

With a wry smile, Iger realized that he had fallen into the trap of suspicion: even if the person he suspected said that he had no malice, or even really no malice, he could not rest assured.

This is probably the helplessness of the superiors.

Just as he was sighing with emotion, a herald suddenly ran up from the bottom of the stairs out of breath, and began to report the situation before he could stand still: "Your Excellency, the Unsullied troops that have landed in the East Sea have arrived outside Houguan Town, and the guards have temporarily closed the gate and are waiting for your instructions!"

......

"Oh, so fast!"

Egger was a little surprised, he had indeed received the report of the landing of the Unsullied from Donghai Wang last night, but he didn't expect to see people today...... In terms of time, this army almost only rested for one night, and then immediately rushed here without stopping, marching faster than the best troops under his command, worthy of the elite that can make any land force in the world of ice and fire smell the color.

"Since you're here, call someone and come with me to meet you. ”

Egger's mood improved slightly, and at the moment when everything was in chaos, it was finally not all news.

To ensure the safety of Daenerys and the Wounded Dragon, and to ensure that no cat or dog could come to the queen and talk nonsense, the defenders he left behind in the last Hearthcity were his most trusted members of the Night's Watch Industrial Guard, who were trained and well-versed in the art of war, most of whom were literate, and could be used as soldiers as well as mid- and lower-ranking officers...... The essence of the force that is enough to support the framework of the entire land-grant army is now half contained in this one-man escort mission, which is overkill.

However, neither the hill clans, nor the new land-grantees, nor the night watchmen in the land grant can take on this simple but careless task in their place.

A small detachment of the Unsullied would certainly not bring a decisive boost to the land-granting army of the Southern Expedition, but it could take over the important but mostly wasted work of protecting the Queen, freeing up hundreds of Industrial Guard soldiers and leaving Igger's available men much more abundant.

In the good mood of receiving reinforcements, Egger rushed to the north wall of Houguan Town with his guards a moment later, and ordered the guards to open the gate and welcome them out.

Even after just a moment's wait, the Unsullied were still lined up in a perfect phalanx in the field outside Houguan Town, which made it much easier for outsiders to calculate their number: Egg counted at least four hundred with a cursory glance. Knowing that the weather in the north was cold, they changed into thickened winter combat uniforms when they set out from the south, but they still underestimated the temperature of the Great Wall, and after landing in the East China Sea, they had to borrow the night watchman's coat from Carter Pike.

At a glance, Egger saw the petite figure standing in front of the Unsullied Army, a little girl, who could appear in front of the Unsullied Army, and there was no other possibility than the Queen's personal attendant and most trusted follower, Missandei. Daenerys rode north with her entourage, and although Iger managed to pick two reliable women from among the female workers of the industry to take care of her diet and daily life, she would not have her own people to use in the end, which was the person he suggested the queen must summon - not one of them.

A few steps closer, he saw the man beside Missandei wearing a warm hood, "one size" wider than anyone else, and obviously could not be an Unsullied officer.

Although I can't see if it's bald, the fat man ...... How many of Daenerys' men did the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch have a relaxed expression on his face that he had been moments ago......

A eunuch was bad enough, but when Egger turned his gaze back to the man standing between Missandei and the fat man in the hood, who was in between not only his position, but also his height and size, was an inconspicuous man, and found that this was actually a person he knew, he really had to do his best to keep his mood from writing on his face.

The biggest pair of shit-stirring sticks in the entire world of ice and fire and Game of Thrones plots, Varys and Littlefinger, actually "teamed up" to come to the land giveaway?

The fire was half a second, and after a few words of roaring in his heart, Iger realized that he had taken it for granted. Commander Donghaiwang was not a time-traveler who knew the plot well, and he had never left the Great Wall after putting on his black clothes, so it was normal for him to not know these two guys at all, or even if he had heard of them, he didn't know them at all. Expecting this thick line to be sensitive enough to recognize the anomaly and remind yourself of it in the letter is simply to blame the rooster for not laying eggs.

And now, no matter how shocked and distraught he was, he had to bite the bullet and greet the visitor.

"Lord Egger, it's a pleasure to see you again. Missandei looked at him again with a little curiosity in her large, bright, black-and-white eyes, and said in a crisp, high-pitched voice, "We have all heard the news of your pledge of allegiance to Your Majesty, and this is a wise and far-sighted decision—welcome to the Queen's Imperial Palace." ”

Egger smiled heartily and nodded at the little clerk, "Houguan Town also welcomes everyone's arrival, Miss Missandei, Varys, and Lord Petyr, please bring the Unsullied into the city." I have prepared a camp and a meal of wine and meat to comfort you all from afar. ”

"Thank you for your hospitality and generosity, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief. "But to-day, we may have to refuse your kindness." ”

"Every time we delayed, we arrived at the queen a little later, and she had to spend a day or a night surrounded by strangers, and the more she risked accidents. Missandei didn't sell it, and quickly explained, "Therefore, we will continue on our way at once and not enter the city." ”

"Please also send a reliable guide who knows the way and will take us to the last fireplace. Varys also shrugged his shoulders and interjected in reluctantly silence, "As far as I know, Amber's castle is not built right next to King's Road, and if you want to find it in this ice and snow with your sense and map, you have to take a lot of detours. ”

Iger could prevent Burton's whistleblowers from meeting the Queen, but it was impossible to stop the "old employees" who were originally subordinates of the former from returning to the boss. As a newcomer, not only did he have no excuse for refusing legitimate help, but he even ...... Under the watchful eye of most of the Queen, he had to behave positively and efficiently, lest he leave a presence for his future colleagues.

After some formal attempts to retain him, Iger picked out a young man who was familiar with the route to the south from among one of the guards who had gone out of the city with him, and ordered him to join the opposite party and lead the guests to the queen's temporary residence.

The Unsullied cut back into marching mode with impressive efficiency and neatness, and continued south with a carriage with a guide and three leaders around Houguan Town in light snow, disappearing from view as quickly as they came.

The two-stirring sticks were far away, taking away the almost faint smell of...... But Iger was not happy at all.

While it was a relief that the Evil Star was gone, there was no need to stay with the feared and disgusted people, but Egger knew better why they were in such a hurry to get to the last Hearth: the worst thing for the courtiers was to stay away from the monarch and lose their presence and influence. Daenerys, who rode the dragon to participate in the war between humans and ghosts, was completely out of touch with her royal front, and had been completely under Egg's control for a while, and what she could hear, see, and even think was all determined by the latter—the eunuch and Littlefinger came to give away the land in person, and they were in such a hurry, if nothing else, that they were in a hurry to take back the influence and control of the queen from the hands of themselves, the new entrants!

After enjoying the thrill of being able to "fool Daenerys Targaryen alone", the comfortable days are finally over. And what's bad is that at the most critical moment when Houguan Town is almost about to complete the dual preparation of physics and public opinion, he can't leave here at all, and go to the last Hearthplace City with those two bastards to "compete for favor".

This means that what he has to face now is not only the two-stirring sticks mixed between himself and the queen, but the two-stirring sticks that carry the queen away......! can only be in Houguan Town, a hundred miles away, helplessly watching the situation develop!

No matter how loyal a retainer can stand up to the slander of his opponent, let alone a loyal vassal at all? It is conceivable that if I let the queen wait a few more days, she will join up with Varys and Petyr, and under the side of the former, she will begin to doubt her own plans for the southern expedition, the plan of the Great King's Lordship, and even the determination to take off her black clothes and her own loyalty! What's more, once these two-stirring sticks also learn about Jon's true origins, or "learn" about the attitude and plans of the North from Old Skinner......

Damn, the situation that was originally under control suddenly got out of control with the occurrence of two accidents and the arrival of two troublesome characters!

No, we can't wait any longer, we have to start acting as soon as possible and use facts to eliminate possible troubles and suspicions!

With a sense of tension that he hadn't experienced for several days, Egger led the people to walk back to Houguan Town, intending to make targeted adjustments to the plan and forcibly march south in advance, and at this time, the departing queen and her party were left in place...... One of the East Sea Nightwatchmen in charge of bringing the Unsullied to Houguan Town shouted loudly, "My lord, please wait!"

The soldier who shouted was a tall young man who was quite handsome, and he trotted over, and was only a few meters away when he was stopped by Egger's guards: "In the Lower East Sea, the chief ranger Ein Immet, under the instructions of the commander Master Carter Pike, has come to report some special circumstances to you in person!"
