A shelter that should have been comfortable and peaceful becomes thrilling with the addition of a small "supernumerary" member. Before the Blue Rites could enter the city, the Red Keep had been taken by the renegade garrison, and Stannis's chances of victory were slim. When Lan Li enters the city, he finds that Miss Stark is hiding......

It's like a wolf head coat of arms on the forehead to indicate the position, and when the time comes, let alone consider whether to accept the blue gift solicitation, thank God for being able to save your life.

In the room of the mansion, Nina used her old business to cut and sew a well-fitting black dress for Arya, and cut the girl's hair to a fraction of the length. Egger has long demanded that girls be well-behaved, well-dressed, and ladylike, but in the end he has to personally order her to be completely disguised as a tomboy, and there are always so many unpleasant things that must be done in the world.

After personally participating in the transformation of Arya's image, and fabricating the origin and identity of "him", the waiting search did not come for a long time, and after two days and two nights of martial law in the city, the streets and alleys were reopened, and the battle for King's Landing was over.

The Night's Watch office reopened, and thanks to his large network of friends and the rapid gathering of information about the battle from various sources, Iger had a general idea of the city.

......

The day before yesterday afternoon, at the same time that Egger had brought Arya home from under the noses of the rebels, Stannis had also led his cavalry back to fight for the Red Keep. While the battle was still going on in the castle, Stannis' loyal soldiers still controlled some of the castle's buildings, including the Meggor Tower, and Stannis quickly recaptured the south gate of the Red Keep and most of the area within the Red Wall.

However, the battle soon fell into a stalemate, and as the Blue Rites who entered the city from the north of King's Landing broke through the interception of the city's defense reserves and arrived at the Red Keep, the two sides engaged in a fierce tug-of-war and battle around the buildings and side gates of the Red Keep.

Stannis's troops outperformed the rebel reserves and the Blue Rites in terms of the quality of their men and the ability of their commanders, but the enemy continued to enter the Aegon Hills from outside the city, and the former fell into a one-sided disadvantage: if they wanted to hold the Red Keep, they had to recapture all the side doors and buildings, but the enemy only had to hold any of them and wait for reinforcements to arrive...... The battle continued until the sun sank into the horizon, and after several attempts, the Red Keep could not be recaptured completely, and even people could not escape if it dragged on...... Stannis eventually gritted his teeth and abandoned the Red Keep, retreated south from King's Landing, and took advantage of the fact that the enemy forces had not yet completed the siege, and broke through the city through the riverside gate still under the control of the Narrow Sea Princes, and after defeating the enemy forces on the banks of the Blackwater, he sent a signal to the Dragonstone fleet to dock, send soldiers, supporters, and family members aboard, and retreat to Dragonstone.

Compared with many well-known city offensive and defensive battles in the ancient Celestial Empire, this battle for King's Landing can really be regarded as a rookie pecking at each other, but the last side of the rookie won by luck with good popularity and many soldiers. But for Egger, the battle had the most troublesome of all: if Stannis had killed Blue Rite, the civil strife in Westeros would have ended, and the Night's Watch would have to go about the rest of the business as usual if they had closed the brothel and stopped the little yellow business...... And if Lan Li killed Stannis on the other hand, he could also sit back and relax and take off his black clothes and turn to the new king, enter the Imperial Council in one fell swoop, and instantly become an influential figure in the Seven Kingdoms.

However, neither of Baratheons died.

The pattern of the two kings fighting each other has not been broken, and Iger is suddenly in an embarrassment, and he is now facing several problems at the same time:

The first and most pressing problem is how to settle Arya in the courtyard.

Handed over to Lan Li and Margaery, the drama spirit couple will not hurt Arya, but this move will not only lose a fan and apprentice, but also offend the entire northern forces and Stannis...... If you don't hand it over, it's not an option to keep the dignified Miss Stark at home, let alone have her own guard squad in the house. Their overall loyalty to themselves is not low, but humanity is the thing that stands the test......

The second question is: should Lan Li once again recruit himself as Lord of the Iron Throne, should he refuse to offend him again, or should he stand in opposition to Melisandre and serve a king who is likely to die soon?

Compared to the first two, the last problem was a fatal one, but it was a severe blow to the Night's Watch industry: Stannis's escape back to his lair meant that the war was not over, and the supply of raw materials for the city's dragon crystal business was also disrupted when Dragonstone and King's Landing were on opposing sides and could not communicate ships smoothly...... Although there are still tons of inventory in the industrial park, even if it is only supplied to King's Landing, it can only last for half a month, not to mention Egger's original plan to sell Dragon Crystal to the whole country.

In addition, there is another piece of news that has not yet been confirmed, and the former Prime Minister Eddard Stark failed to escape when the city was breached, and was captured by the Blue Rites in the Red Keep.

......

"Let you run away, your sister Sansa and King Stannis can run away without any problems, but your father ran back from the river gate and was caught, guess it was to go back to you?"

"I'm ......," Arya stammered, crying and mourning, and finally tasted the painful lesson of death: "What should I do, will they bully my father......?" I know it's wrong, please save him!"

"The Night's Watch does not interfere in the internal affairs of the Seven Kingdoms!" Egger took the signboard to block Arya's request, and replied angrily: "Besides, how can I save it? Your father, Duke Stark, must have eaten and drunk well in the cell of the Red Keep, and there will be no, but I'm trying to save myself now!"

Stark, as the leading family of the Northern Clan, caught its parents to take the life of the Three Kingdoms of the North, the River, and the Valley, and the nobles like Lan Li and Margaery would be brain-dead enough to kill him?

What Iger is worried about now is that if Lan Li and Margaery learn about Arya's disappearance, and think that they are close to her, they come to the door to investigate......

"My lord, I don't understand why you are reluctant to join Lan Li's Imperial Council...... But there is actually a way to solve both problems at the same time. Nina looked worriedly at Arya, who was sitting behind the table, a girl who had contributed a lot to the Night's Watch industry, but now threatened Egger's life at any time: "In the name of being ordered by the Night's Watch Legion, you have traveled north to quietly return Miss Stark to her family and relatives, and you have been avoiding the limelight for a while...... When Lan Li's Imperial Council is full and then comes back, he can't drive others away and give way to you, right?"

How could Egger himself not think of this method, but Lan Li is not a fool, he will not be fair sooner or later, but he will leave when he enters the king's landing? Isn't this a clear refusal to serve him and run away...... The story of celebrities and gentlemen who lived in seclusion and refused to go out in order to avoid the recruitment of the ruler, Egger heard the legends of Boyi, Shuqi, Tao Yuanming, Guiguzi and others since he was a child, and his ears were cocooned. Once upon a time, he also felt that these so-called "celebrities" secluded jokes were just made up by people with intentions, the purpose was to wait for the price and sell, to put it bluntly, it was pretending to be forced, who would have thought that one day, he would actually face this choice?

Only after experiencing it first-hand can we realize that sometimes the reluctance to go out into seclusion is not necessarily a "reluctance to go along with the world", but it may also be due to other more realistic, complex, and inhumane reasons.

He has a huge family business in King's Landing, and "running away" is not a priority in any way on weekdays, but now with the additional task of sending Arya to escape from King's Landing, it has become a good choice. Egg stared at Arya for a moment, then relentlessly, "That's it, just leave King's Landing for a while...... To be honest, in this capital of the Seven Kingdoms, which is crowded with big people, I have to think about this time and that for a while, and I am really tired. As the chief logistics officer of the night watch, I really should go back to the Great Wall once to consolidate my presence, and by the way, see how far I have planned to build Houguan Town!"
