With black cloth hanging on the front and back doors, Iger sat in the hall of the Night's Watch's house, sorting through the night's Watchman's accounts with Nina and planning for the future.

Most of these things could have been handed over directly to Nina, but there was a big war going on outside the city, and all commercial production activities in the city had been suspended at the moment.

Iger doesn't know much about the situation in Westeros after it has left its original trajectory, and his sources of information are nothing more than rumors in the city, such as brothels and shops, some of the soldiers of the garrison who have taken refuge in him, and an Arya in the Red Keep...... With the last source of information cut off for the time being, and the garrison all in combat, he was now almost "deaf and blind" - unable to inquire about the current situation of the war in the West, nor to know the situation of the siege of King's Landing, and even to find out whether Melisandre, who was crucial to the victory, was in the city at the moment, and could only stay in the house and wait for the war to end, like most of the residents and nobles of King's Landing.

......

"We have too few sources of information, and if we are able to survive this crisis, we need to invest more in this area - to make friends who live in the Red Keep or who can enter and leave the Red Keep, from the nobles to the servants and servants, and if we can't have direct contact, investigate family and relationships, and start with the people around us - such as recruiting wives and children, brothers, and friends into the Night's Watch property and office work...... When the time comes, under the pretext of 'businessmen need to be well-informed', they will pry open the mouths of these Red Fort insiders little by little. ”

Littlefinger was able to rely on the information of several brothels to get into King's Landing because he himself lived in the Red Keep as Chancellor of the Exchequer, and he was well-informed inside and outside the Red Wall, so it was naturally convenient to do things. And the Night's Watch industry ...... Now there is a lot of power outside the Red Castle, but due to the rapid development of the foundation and the unstable foundation, the tentacles did not have time to reach into the royal castle, and the disadvantage of relying on Arya's help in the early stage was not exposed, but with the passage of time, this defect gradually appeared.

Iger realized this and set out to solve the problem.

"Actually, my lord—even if you don't say it, the families of King's Landing are already trying their best to stuff people into the Night's Watch property. Nina pursed her lips, "While Lord Tyrion was still around, some of our investors and clients had already begun to ask for positions and jobs for their family's descendants and followers, but Lord Tyrion kept the bottom line and only offered limited and inconsequential positions. ”

"Very well, keep doing this, but you can relax a little bit, there is no perfect thing in this world...... In order to take advantage of the power of these nobles, it is okay to raise a little idler, as long as they don't eat dry food and don't cause us trouble. But it must be well controlled—important and critical positions must be occupied by people who have a clear history and are competent enough to do it. Egg nodded, "Also, do a good job with the prostitutes that Littlefinger left behind and the prostitutes he trained, and see if they have a way to get in touch with Littlefinger's original informant in the Red Keep." This is a ready-made intelligence network, and it would be great if it could be inherited. ”

"Well, I see, I'll start working on it as soon as possible. ”

......

Two novices have no experience in setting up the Night's Watch industry's own intelligence agency, but the nine-story platform is out of the ground...... As long as you work steadily, you will be able to achieve some results sooner or later. While discussing the details of the plan with great interest, a soldier from the guard squad suddenly knocked on the door and reported: "Lord Egger, there is a little girl outside the door, knocking on the door and shouting that she wants to come to the master, how to deal with it?"

"Arya, what is she doing here!" Egg raised his eyebrows, and quickly stood up nervously: "To die, at this juncture, how dare she leave the Red Fort and run around!"

Immediately putting down what he was discussing, Egg pushed the door open and ran to the gate, opened the door, and saw his little apprentice who seemed to have come out of the mud.

Arya's body was dirty, as if she had run a long way, she held her knees and opened her mouth to pant for breath, and only when she saw Iger open the door did she look up, and smiled at him: "Master, I just went to the office to find you, why didn't you open the door today." ”

Open the door to do errands?Doing a ghost thing in this chaotic day, Egger pulled the girl in the door: "I'm going to kill you, and you came out of that 'secret passage'?"

"Yes. The girl looked smug.

"Why did you come to me?"

"My sword is with you, I'm going to take it back!"

"Sword, what sword?" Egger had forgotten about it completely, and it took him a moment to figure out what Arya was talking about, "I'm ...... When are you going to get it, you have to do it today!"

"But there's a war going on today. Arya was a little overwhelmed by the man's anxious and angry look, "If a bad guy wants to hurt me and my sister, I can also use something to defend myself." ”

"Nonsense...... It's nonsense......" Egger trembled with anger, he hung a black cloth in the door and shrank in the house to avoid any involvement in this war?

He was far from trouble, but his little apprentice had brought the war to his side!

What to do with the hot potato? Of course, he hurriedly threw it back to its original owner, and after a moment's thought, Egger turned to his guards and said loudly, "Go and lead the horses, two! Also, no one has come to me today, understand!"

"Yes, sir!"

Arya looked at Egg as if she was facing a great enemy, looking at him with wide eyes and an innocent face, which made the man angry and had nowhere to go: "Nina, go get a small black coat and put it on her." ”

Ten minutes later, the saddled horse was led to the door, and Arya was also dressed in black, the smallest of which looked like a large blouse on her, and Nina had to tighten her belt and tie a strip of cloth on her chest so that her clothes would not slip.

"Keep the door shut, and don't open it if anyone knocks except me!"

＊＊＊

Egger rode out of the gate of the house, the street was empty and there were no pedestrians, and occasionally a few guys who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to steal and rob quickly retreated into the alley when they saw Egger wearing a black horse and sword. Packing up his mood and taking Arya with him, he set out on his way to the Red Keep.

Arya seemed to be quite fresh about wearing black, and not only did she not feel any trouble for anyone, but she even asked the girl with great interest if she could join the night watch. Egger was in a hot stomach, how could he be in the mood to ignore her, just ride the horse without saying a word.

The girl soon realized that something was wrong: "Master, this is not the way to the office." ”

"Don't go to the office, I'll send you back to the Red Fort now, and stay in it honestly. Sword, I'll send someone to you when the time comes. ”

"Don't bother, go to the office and get the sword, and I'll go back myself. ”

"Go back by yourself?" Egg glared at the girl in annoyance: "Did the hooligan ruffian who just poked his head out on the side of the road see it, you have no one to escort into their hands, do you know what the fate is!"

"What's there to be afraid of, just one wanted to chase me, but he didn't run as fast as me. ”

"Do you still feel very proud?" Egger was almost angry with the bear child: a noble lady who has not yet reached adulthood, if she falls into the hands of villains in this mess, she can think of what can happen with her ass: "You still have me in your eyes, if you still have me in your eyes, just shut your mouth and follow me obediently!"

"Oh-" Arya had never seen Egger so fierce before, and knowing that she was wrong, she craned her neck and rode obediently behind the man.

......

Miss Stark was a good rider, and the house was no more than a mile from the high hills of Aegon, and it took a while to walk on her legs, but she was there in an instant on horseback. Before he could reach his destination, Iger sensed that something was wrong: the Red Keep, which should have been closed and heavily guarded on such a day, was now wide open, and the gate was strangely unguarded.

"It's a bit ...... Something is wrong, Arya, if you meet someone you don't know, don't say anything, don't do anything, let me deal with it. ”

"Good master. ”

The two slowed down their horses and cautiously entered the Red Keep gate.

The great castle seemed empty, but it was impossible, his instinct told Egg to turn back and retreat, but if he left now, would he let Arya's big trouble live with him? The two guards Stark had assigned to him as helpers wore these cloaks!

Arya also recognized the identity of the fallen dead at a glance, and was instantly so frightened that she couldn't bear anymore - this was the person she tricked into going to the kitchen to get a snack an hour ago!

Egger felt a chill on his back: the worst happened, he was originally out of the way, but he was pulled into trouble by his own evil apprentice, he lowered his voice and ordered Arya: "Go, go back the way you are, something happened here." ”

"But Sansa ......"

"No, let's go!"

It was easy to get in and hard to get out, but in a few minutes, when I arrived at the bronze gate of the Red Keep again, there were suddenly people at the originally empty door—a dozen or so heavily armed, wearing chain mail and full armor in golden robes, stood by the door, and immediately saw two men in black on horseback, and their spears were aimed at Egger and Arya.

"Someone, don't move!"
