In stark contrast to the last time the King's dinner was enjoyed in this room, the crowded and cramped hall of the night seemed so spacious after the removal of many long tables and benches. By the time Iger arrived with the guards leading the way, there were already many people in the house.

A row of guards stood by the wall, Robb Stark sat in the high seat that belonged to his father, Master Lewyn and his mother sat on either side, and the young wolf lord was sandwiched in the middle, and his young and immature face was already assuming the style of a city lord.

The bunch of words that stopped the maid before breakfast were all wasted saliva, and now Mrs. Stark was sitting in front of her, and compared to the last time she appeared, the mother seemed to be twenty years older, and she was much haggard at the moment, and she was a little closer to the old appearance in the TV series, and she looked a little younger than the old bachelor next to her—but it was clear that she was indeed herself.

Catelyn didn't go to King's Landing, she didn't see Littlefinger, and she wasn't deceived about the dagger...... This meant that Egg didn't have to think about how to help Tyrion avoid encounters and conflicts with her on his way south.

Standing in the middle of the hall were the other Night's Watch who had arrived before Egg, as well as Tyrion and his guards. When Iger walked to Yulun and the other men in black and stood still, the young man in the master's seat spoke.

"Welcome, I was busy with miscellaneous items in the city last night, and I couldn't come forward to greet you in person, so please forgive me for being inconsiderate. ”

Robb said in the voice of a master, the first time he greeted a guest as a city lord, and this set of lines was not very skillful and natural, and it was obviously learned improvised. But Egger was more concerned that he didn't unsheath his weapon, and he didn't greet Tyrion with a menacing tone...... It's not a big change, but it's inseparable from what Iger has done - he is no longer out of the plot, and it is difficult for him to withdraw from it.

"You're welcome. Tyrion sighed, "So, when will your brother arrive?"

......

The sound of heavy footsteps came at the right time, and a huge figure entered the hall through the doorway, it was Addo holding Bran.

"Oh, the kid really survived. The dwarf turned and looked up at Bran, who was taller than himself in Ado's arms. "I can't believe it, you Stark's life is so hard. ”

"Northerners have to fight hard to survive. Robb said, although he didn't bring any good anger, but obviously lost the strong hostility in the original plot: "Ado, bring my brother here." ”

"Addo. The giant man smiled and trotted forward, placing Bran next to the Stark lord's high position. The rulers of House Stark sat on these large chairs, and the boy sat down with his crippled legs in the air, and the large chairs made him look so weak.

"Lord Tyrion, you want to see my brother, and he is here right now. ”

"Bran, I've heard you're pretty good at climbing up and down," Tyrion stared at the boy for a moment, before finally speaking, "Tell me, how did you fall that day?"

The hairs on Egger's back stood on end, and he had lied about what had happened under James's threats, and it would have been a big hassle if Bran had said that I had been frightened by Jaime Lannister or had been thrown down by the pesky night watchman named Egger.

Bran breathed a sigh of relief at the answer: "I don't know, there's no way I'm going to fall." ”

The boy had no memory of the fall or how he had climbed. Master Lu Wen said softly.

"That's amazing. Tyrion Lannister.

"My lord, Bran's body is still very weak, and he needs to rest. Mrs. Stark spoke weakly, and she was so exhausted that she had some difficulty even maintaining her politeness: "If there is nothing important, let him go back." ”

"I have a gift for him," the gnome nodded at the hostess of Winterfell and turned to Bran, "Boy, do you like horseback riding?"

Master Lu Wen sighed: "My lord, this child's legs are no longer usable, and he can't ride a horse." ”

"Hell," said Lannister, "with the right horses and saddles, you can ride even if you are crippled." ”

"I'm not a cripple!"

"Then I'm not a dwarf. The dwarf pouted, "Dad was so happy to hear it." ”

Robb and Caitlyn looked disgruntled, Theon Greyjoy laughed, and only Master Lewyn asked patiently, "What kind of horses and saddles are you talking about?"

"A clever horse, this boy can't command his mount with his legs, so you have to get the horse used to him, teach him what it means to command the reins, and know the voice of his master. I recommend choosing an untrained one-year-old pony so that you don't have to scrap the previous practice and start all over again. Tyrion pulled a rolled piece of paper from his belt. "Give this to your saddle master, and just do it. ”

Master Luwen took the piece of paper from the dwarf's hand like a curious little gray squirrel and began to read it.

"I see. Your Excellency, you have drawn very clearly. That's right...... This should work, I should have thought of it a long time ago. ”

＊＊＊

Egger stood in the middle of a crowd of night watchmen, quietly watching the rather familiar but changed plot, hoping that everything would end as soon as possible. He wanted nothing more than to wait until he reached his destination, and no more moths would happen until he reached his destination.

"Can I really ride a horse?"

"No problem. The dwarf told him in an affirmative tone, "And I assure you, boy, on horseback, you are as tall as the others." ”

"Thank you for your help, my lord. Seeing Bran smile, Caitlyn also pulled herself together and squeezed out a smile: "If you don't dislike it, lunch and dinner, we ......"

"You're welcome, Mrs. Stark. Tyrion bowed, "But I've had enough of the big fish and meat in the north a while ago, and I'd rather experience the local customs in the inns of the winter towns outside the city than in the castle." He turned to the night watchmen standing aside, "Egger, Yoron, go south tomorrow at dawn, and you will find me on the road." ”

Tyrion turned and walked out the door, his men following closely behind.

With twelve Night's Watch stayed, and a dozen Night's Watch Rangers accompanied the Lannisters, Tyrion's return to Winterfell was nothing of a thrill. Thanks to so many night watchmen, it was enough to keep the hall in the air. Robb hesitated to turn to them. "Brothers in Black, you will always be welcome in Winterfell, and if you need anything, just tell the people, and we'll do our best to accommodate it. In addition, I sincerely hope that I will have the pleasure of having dinner with you tonight. ”

His words were even more unnatural, but the Night's Watch was unimpressed, and after thanking him for his kindness, they were led out of the hall by a Ranger leader.

......

"Egg?" a guard stopped the traverser who was following Yoren and his party out of the gate, "The city lord has something to say to you, please come with me." ”

I have something to say to myself! Egger thought to himself, what did he say, did he lie about Bran falling from the building and was discovered, or did he make up the revelation that Joffrey was going to assassinate Bran?

Being a thief is weak, and Iger gets nervous. He did both of these things without malice, but he couldn't reason with these big nobles, and if anything was discovered, the plan would be completely disrupted!

But now in Winterfell, he can't do anything. A sense of powerlessness returned, and Egger followed the guard back to a small room north of the hall, uneasily. There was only one table and two chairs in the room, and Robb Stark alone.
