"It's not...... Stomach aches!" Arya sat there wiping her tears, sniffed a few times, and then opened her mouth with red eyes: "My father...... Died in King's Landing. ”

Eddard Stark is dead?How could he have died at such a time when Stannis had no accident when he attacked the King?Egg's doubts were at the same time, and a wave of regret immediately welled up in his heart: not to mention personal qualities or personal relationships, if the head of the Stark family was alive, whether he stayed in King's Landing and continued to be Prime Minister, or returned to Winterfell to sit in the north, the Wall would definitely be able to help when it was in trouble, and it was undoubtedly one of the most powerful backstage for the Night's Watch...... Even the Greyjoy family probably didn't dare to do it until they heard about his death.

That's what he said, but Egger was actually full of complaints: I'm your swordsmanship teacher, not a confidant big sister, it's really worth being sad that your father is dead, but what's the matter with running to find yourself, asking for comfort?

"It's a pity, but people can't be resurrected after death......" The little girl lost her family after all, Egg's anger dissipated, sighed and touched Arya's head, and comforted her: "No matter how sad you are, you have to live well, it's too dangerous for you to run around like this!"

"I'm sorry...... I know I shouldn't. Arya muffled, "But...... I was so sad that I was dying, and Sansa was whispering in my ear all day long - I killed my father, I killed my father. I couldn't get angry, so I ran out. ”

The two sisters were stunned, and then the younger sister ran away from home and came here by herself? What is this called? Iger wondered, "You killed your father?" Why do you say that?

"Father seems to be ...... He died of poisoning. Arya wiped away her tears again: "They all said that his father was poisoned while in the custody of the Ranley and Tyrell families, and Margaery transferred the person who had taken care of him and replaced it with hers...... My father didn't come that day because he was looking for me...... Escape King's Landing with King Stannis. I thought Margaery was my friend...... She-why did she kill my father?"

Egger was still wondering: how could the head of Ed's powerful side, from the guard to the cook, be so easy to be killed-it turned out to be poisoned while in prison, and this explanation makes sense. The bloody facts in front of him warn Egger not to fall into any ...... Even if you don't seem to be in the hands of someone who doesn't seem to harm you, you never know what will happen when you're under control.

(However, in this case, isn't it Arya who killed her father?)

Iger almost blurted out: I got into trouble last time I ran around, why do I still make the same mistake this time!

......

If he hadn't heard that Sheen hadn't been released back to the Iron Islands this time, he almost doubted: according to the urine nature of "Arya will have an accident if she runs around", when he sends her home, will he see Winterfell with a changed flag at the head of the city?

"I don't think Margaery hurt your father, think about it...... What good did the murder of Duke Stark do for the Tyrells...... In addition to keeping the two families alive from now on?" Will Lan Li and the Tyrell family poison and murder Eddard Stark?I'm afraid it's not out of their minds, Littlefinger is not in Westeros now, then this must be the ghost of Varys, Egger only took a second to identify the real murderer: "Since you think Margaery is a friend, you should give her a chance to explain." By the way, you rode all the way to the land to catch up with Melisandre, and Winterfell didn't send anyone after you?"

Arya pondered what Egger had just said and shook her head: "I sneaked away after lunch, and even if they find out, it will be night." I was lightweight, I rode fast, and no one could keep up with me. ”

"Oh...... Okay, okay. You won, Egger rubbed his head with a headache: "You just stay here first, I'll find someone to send you back tomorrow morning." ”

"No, I'm not going back, I'm ...... I'm going to Castle Black, and I miss Jon. ”

"Castle Black is now crowded with all kinds of people, and you can go to your little girl's house?" Egg glared at her, "I can't tolerate you being willful this time, and be honest...... I'll tell Jon you're here when I get back to Castle Black tomorrow, and he'll come over if he wants to see you. ”

"Hmm...... All right. "Arya in a sad state is not noisy or noisy, and surprisingly obedient.

"Alright, come with me to dinner, I'll meet with Lady Melisandre later, remember to thank her for escorting you to Houguan Town, hear me?"

"It's uncomfortable, I don't want to eat. ”

"You have to eat if you don't want to, and now that you're on the Night's Watch's territory, you'll have to listen to the Night's Watch. Egger glared at her: "Who was so painful that he drilled into my bed before, saying that he would listen to me in the future?"

Arya, apparently hadn't forgotten about it, pouted, snorted sadly, and nodded.

＊＊＊

Despite the food crisis, Houguan Town has not yet reached the point of exhaustion. The kitchen was prepared as much as possible for the incoming reinforcements, and Melisandre not only came by herself, but also brought with her many devotees of the Red God embroidered on the chest of the Lord of Light's flaming crest to show their loyalty to Rahlo, including many of Stannis's royal princes, such as Ser Acel Florent......

At the juncture when his lord ascended the Iron Throne and led his army south to quell the rebellion, he gave up the opportunity to make a career and accompanied Melisandre to the northernmost part to fight the wildlings and strangers...... The character and personality of these guys known as the "post-party" are not to be mentioned, but their belief in the Lord of Light is truly unquestionable.

In addition to the Believers, Melisandre's trip also brought with her a number of "new recruits" of the Night's Watch of decent quality: Eddard Stark's Westlanders captured during the Lannisters' destruction of King's Landing, including some of Egger's cellmates during his brief imprisonment experience, and some of the old royal nobles arrested after Stannis regained the Iron Throne - including important members of the original behind-the-scenes support family of the Night's Watch industry.

Political prisoners, a nuisance that avoids everywhere in the world, are a welcome newcomer here at the Wall: these somewhat well-born, educated fellows, who don't know where to go, in terms of quality or ability, compared to all sorts of God knows what the origin of the murderers, robbers, and rapists is. Seven new fortresses were opened along the Great Wall, and a new Houguan town was built...... There is an urgent shortage of commanders and managers, and the arrival of these personnel will greatly ease the pressure on personnel.

Among them, there are many familiar faces of Egger, who know the roots and are trustworthy. Turning around and asking Mormont how many he wanted, Yam managed Houguan Town alone and had to do things for himself, so he couldn't be busy.

......

Political prisoners were not eligible for personal hospitality from the Chief Logistics Officer, so they did not appear in the restaurant. After having dinner with Melisandre and a few of the Crooks of some status, Egg briefed the Red-robed Lady and her followers about the food plight the Wall was facing, and asked for help.

Sir Florent shrugged his shoulders regretfully: "The food situation in King's Landing is not optimistic, and the king has made a lot of efforts to curb the soaring food prices, and even cut off the heads of two grain merchants...... I'm afraid it really won't help you. ”

Iger nodded at the other to acknowledge that he had heard, but turned his face to the other person, "Lady Melisandre, do you have any good ideas?"

"I'm just a little priest, but I don't have the skills to make food. The red-robed woman didn't touch the food on the table from beginning to end, and only drank a few sips of soup. She gracefully wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin and paused before continuing: "But I can't solve the food shortage...... It does not mean that our Lord is powerless. Your Excellency the Chief Logistics Officer has worked hard to guard the Great Wall, and we, as servants of the Lord of Light, will not turn a blind eye. I would like to see once for your lordship to see if Rahlo has prepared a way out for the Night's Watch. ”

With that, Melisandre rose from the table, walked slowly to the fireplace of the dining room, gathered up the hem of her robe, crouched down slightly, and stared intently into the crackling and burning pyre.

What the hell, could it be that Rahlo can still conjure food out of the fire? Egger was full of black lines, and Arya looked curious...... But the post-party members sitting around the table stopped all movements, and looked reverently at the priestess who was "communicating" with Rahlo by the fireplace, and some even closed their eyes and whispered prayers, and the dining room fell silent.

After a few minutes, the red-robed woman stood up again and sat back at the table, with a confident smile on her lips: "The Lord of Light has responded to my request and given guidance, would the Chief Logistics Officer want to hear it?"
