The full moon and the blood-colored comet hung side by side in the eastern sky, making the night in King's Landing not dark. With the guard squad, Iger set out from the east of the city, picked a small path in the night, walked down the gentle slope of the Rhaenys Hills from the upscale neighborhood along Flour Street, and plunged headlong into a flea nest.

Sandwiched between the Rhaenys Hills and the Visennian Hills, this is the lowest slum in the city in terms of elevation, living environment, social status and economic power, compared to the shacks and tents outside the city walls. Under normal circumstances, it is dangerous for a young girl like Nina to traverse this labyrinthine area of hooligans after dark...... But if you are accompanied by your brother and twelve heavily armed soldiers dressed in black, it will be a different story. Residents, passers-by, and prostitutes on both sides of the road were busy avoiding Egger and his party, all of them fearing that they would be slashed inexplicably in the way of the hurried procession.

......

"My lord, there are people who have been following us, and we can't run away like this. Jaqun competently played the role of a Night's Watch office employee, following in Egger's footsteps as he kept looking backwards and quickly concluded, "Someone has to stay behind to stop or kill these tails." ”

"Harvey, Myron, Pedy, Leon, stay behind and block this intersection and stop all those who are following us and walking along this road from north to south!"

"But sir, what if it's really just a passerby?" asked one soldier hesitantly.

"I'll say all! Draw your weapons and don't let go of any of them until dawn!"

"Yes, sir!"

The four steel swords were unsheathed in the night, and the sound was so crisp and pleasant. According to the training methods of the new army, naturally a new type of professional army was finally obtained, and the combat effectiveness of the "guard squad" still needs to be investigated, but the excellence of execution and obedience has begun to be reflected, and no one has any doubts, and the four soldiers who have broken off the sword remain in place, standing in the middle of the road, blocking the stalkers behind them.

In the distance, on the top of the Visennian hills, the Basilica of Baylor, with its lights lit day and night, and the soft glow from the windows, came into view, and the remaining ten people continued to walk along the muddy streets in the alleys of the people's houses, avoiding the pedestrians and golden-robed patrols on the main road, and after running breathlessly for an hour or two, the black southern wall of King's Landing finally came into view, and the outline of the riverside gate with torches was clearly visible in the night. They left the alley and came to the main road, quickened their pace, and finally entered the garrison of the Linhe Gate.

＊＊＊

"Slint did something to you?" The evacuation team entered the garrison of the Rivergate garrison, the guards and the Nirnina siblings were settled, and Egger was invited into the captain's office, and after listening to the Night's Watchman's account, Jacelyn Baiva raised his eyebrows deliberately: "How are you sure it's his?"

"A dozen men chased me through the streets, two of them even had crossbows, do you want to tell me that these people are robbers trying to rob me?"

"There's a crossbow? huh...... There is no doubt that this is really Slint, most of the garrison is armed with longbows, and only the Dongying armory has a dozen crossbows from Mill's tribute. ”

"Now is not the time to discuss how many crossbows there are in King's Landing, and if the adults want to equip them with this weapon, the Night's Watch industry can fund a few in a few days. But for now, please open the gates of the city at once, and let me out of the city, and let me go for a moment longer in the city, and it will be more dangerous!"

"The seven gates of King's Landing are not to be opened after dark, except by order of the king, the prime minister, or the commander-in-chief of the garrison, and it is a felony to be complicity in treason. ”

But what the other party said was reasonable, and Iger didn't dare to show his annoyance, so he could only change his words: "Then please ask the lord to hang me from the city wall with a hanging basket." ”

"It's the same thing, it's against the law. Baivat put on his iron hand and yawned: "Panic, stay here, I guarantee your safety." ”

If it weren't for the fact that Sir Iron Hand was by no means Sharpt's person, Iger almost thought that he had thrown himself into the net: "What do you use to ensure my safety? Since Slint has already done it, he will not think about the consequences, and if I fall into his hands, I will definitely die violently for no reason' or 'commit suicide in fear of crime'!"

"Will I let you fall into his hands?" Baivat glanced at him and snorted: "The Linhe Gate garrison is not only responsible for guarding the city gate, but also has the responsibility of maintaining the security of Blackwater Harbor outside the gate, in order to take care of these two tasks, we have always been the largest number of people in the Seven Gates of King's Landing, including all the sub-camps in the city, even compared to the East Camp directly under the jurisdiction of Slint, it is only a lot more, I have nearly two hundred brothers under my command to ensure your safety, are you satisfied?"

"But Slint is your commander, if he brings troops over and orders you to hand over people, do you dare not hand them over?"

Sir Iron Hand glanced up at the Night's Watch and asked, "Why don't you dare?"

......

Well, with an unexpected answer, Iger was a little confused. Where did the previous Jeslyn Biowatt, who "for safety reasons, never come out first until he saw signs of a big shot", and suddenly changed sex?

"Have you forgotten what I said, or do you think I'm a coward?" Byvat stretched his body, the tired look on his face suddenly faded, and his pride suddenly faded, "I said, 'As soon as I see those of your allies move, I will not hesitate to cooperate with my all'. Now that I see what you're talking about your allies doing, I'm going to do everything in my power to help you and your allies, of course, and I'm a little scared of Slint if he doesn't keep quiet. But the more anxious he is to kill you, the more trouble he faces, and the more I dare to fight him, understand?"

＊＊＊

Iger understood that Byvat was ready for a showdown with the commander of the garrison. Although Slint still nominally holds command of the King's Landing garrison, he is no longer powerless in the city!

He hadn't been too wary of Slint's dog jumping off the wall because he believed that under the swift political offensive arranged by Tyrion, his opponent would be taken down before he had time to react. Who would have thought that by what means, Slint, the mad dog, got the news only the day after the battle began and began to fight back...... His assassination was indeed taken by surprise, but the general trend was the general trend, with Tyrion and a group of princes taking the lead in the charge, coupled with Prime Minister Eddard Stark's strict attitude of "getting to the bottom of the matter...... At the juncture when Slint was about to fall, those who had long had a grudge against him no longer waited and watched, but dared to stand up against him, and this struggle had reached the moment when the final showdown was decided!

As long as you stay safe in the camp of the Linhe Gate garrison until tomorrow morning, the Red Fort will open, and when Ed gets the news to intervene, the dust will settle on this power struggle!

"Understood, thank you Sir Baiwatt for your help...... But is it necessary to take this risk, as long as I get out of the city, I will be basically safe. And stay here, in case Slint has a hot head and orders to rush in and forcibly take people, the capital garrison will cause an infighting and cause casualties...... That's bad. "Not causing trouble to the king is the most important thing in this operation to bring down Slint, and now is a sensitive time, especially beware: "I appreciate your kindness, but your lord should send me out of the city, I don't want to cause trouble to my brothers in the garrison at the river gate." ”

"Slint will soon know that you came to me......"

"My men have stopped the person who was following them. ”

"I'm not the one who was assassinated, but please don't panic, listen to my explanation. Lord Iron Hand shook his head, "You came in through the gate, how many people have seen you?" Surely someone will go and report to Sharp, and he will know that I will open the door or get you out of the city with a hanging basket at this time. Even if Slint falls afterwards, I can't escape accountability and punishment, and I can't even escape you. Moreover, if you leave the city and flee back to your own territory, Slint will definitely lead his troops out of the city, and do you still plan to order the security team and the garrison to fight?"

Of course not, no matter what the personal qualities of the commander of the garrison are, but the golden robe represents the king, and confronting it head-on is a rebellion, and no amount of reason can be washed away.

"But how many of the nearly two hundred brothers in Linhemen you said are willing to listen to you and fight against Slint?"

"I don't dare to say more, there are always one hundred and fifty. Baivat confidently explained, "Indeed, he is still nominally the supreme commander of the two thousand brothers in King's Landing, but how many of the two thousand, except for the two hundred of the two hundred who have been opened, will be ordered to come and surround you tonight and arrest you?

"I'll tell you, not a single one. Sir Iron Hand stretched out a finger and revealed the answer directly, "Unless this soft egg dares to go into battle in person, otherwise, tonight's Linhe Gate is destined to be very lively, but it will definitely not be able to fight, and before dawn, the Prime Minister and the King will know the situation here, and when the people in the Red Keep come, whether I hand you over to Lord Eddard or His Majesty Robert, you don't have to worry about Slynt threatening you anymore." ”

"If I send you out of the city without permission, I will make a mistake, and I will lose my job at least and lose my head at the most, but I have left a 'garrison commander whistleblower' in the camp to protect you, but I have not broken any laws, so why sacrifice me when we have already won?"

After all, Egger had never worked in the King's Landing garrison, and it was impossible for him to analyze and speculate on what Baivat said and judged the development of the situation, but now that the other party had explained it as it was, it was not difficult for him to understand. After thinking carefully in his mind, the Chief Logistics Officer quieted down and decided to trust Sir Iron Hand for a while: "Since Sir Baiwatt said so, then I will believe you for once, and my net worth and life will be handed over to you tonight." ”
