"Hmm. Ed still nodded steadily, even if he had said hello, he sat on the saddle with the reins and did not dismount, and observed the night watchman's office, which was beginning to take shape, and showed a rather interesting smile: "It's quite decent, when will the conscription begin?"

"In two or three days, I'll be as soon as possible. Egger replied: "This office will not only serve the function of recruiting soldiers, but also the food, grass, equipment and funds donated by the nobles and commoners of the Seven Kingdoms for the Night's Watch will also be counted and recorded here before being sent to the Great Wall in the future." ”

"Hmm-" Ed muttered for a moment, "where did you get the money to buy these things?"

"Mistress Tyrion Lannister's patronage, and he sent me an acolyte to help. Iger replied without hesitation, and introduced to the Prime Minister: "This is Jack." ”

Unable to hide, the young squire hurried over to say hello to the Prime Minister, and contrary to Egger's calmness, he was quite nervous - no wonder, as everyone knows, the Starks and the Lannisters don't have a good relationship.

Ed just wondered why there was a red robe here, and at this moment, he was puzzled, and naturally it was impossible for him to surrender his identity to a squire, he glanced at Jack, and also nodded in response to the other party's greeting, and then turned his head to look at a short man behind him: "The Wild Man is very non-stop, the Night Watch is facing a dilemma, even if the treasury is tight, you have to provide symbolic support, you go and raise funds to allocate to the Night Watch, which is counted in the defense spending." ”

"My lord?" the short man didn't expect to be suddenly put on a table here, and suddenly made a face full of innocence, "The kingdom's financial ......"

"There is no room for negotiation, this is the serious matter of defending the kingdom, you can even raise the prize money for the tournament, and you are still short of these? Ed didn't let up. "I don't embarrass you, dozens or hundreds of golden dragons are enough, help the night watchman gain a foothold here, and the rest depends on his own ability. ”

"Well, since this is the Prime Minister's order, I can only think of another way. ”

Eddard ignored the other party's teasing and turned to the other side: "Jory, you take Arya here to wait for us, and I and Lord Baerichi will go and do something." ”

"Yes!"

"What, I obviously said that I would take me out shopping, how can I say that there is something to do! I will go wherever you go!"

A crisp protest sounded, and Egg noticed that there was a little girl in the group who could be guessed without careful identification, and it was Arya Stark, the second daughter of Duke Stark. And the short man Eddard ordered to raise a sum of money for the Night's Watch before, if he guessed correctly, is Petyr Berish, the biggest-stirring stick in Game of Thrones, who uses chaos as a ladder!

Due to some discrepancies with the image in the TV series, Egg didn't recognize this guy until Ed called Littlefinger's name, and when he learned his identity, he couldn't help but take a few more glances - first understood the reason why the other party got this nickname, and then it was as terrifying as waking up from a big dream: in the past two days, I have been thinking about Melisandre's words and busy with my own business, and I almost forgot that the original story plot is still rolling forward like a wheel on a slope!

......

"The place I'm going to go with the Prime Minister right now is not suitable for children. The short man smiled wickedly at Arya, winking, "Especially girls." ”

"I'm not a child!"

"Obedient, I'll take you back later. And Egger, do a good job, don't get into trouble. ”

Ed smiled and soothed his daughter, then gave the Night's Watch a meaningful order, and then took Littlefinger and the remaining guards and rode down the street to leave the Night's Watch office.

＊＊＊

The big leader has every opportunity, comes and goes quickly, and a team of people will leave as soon as they say, and soon disappear at the end of the street. Arya grunted and complained about her father's backshit, while the captain of the Prime Minister's Guard, who remained behind, tried to comfort her grumpy young lady...... Only Egger looked in the direction of Duke Stark's departure and fell into deep thought.

Doesn't he imply that he shouldn't talk nonsense about Joffrey's "assassination" of Bran?

No, this mess doesn't matter, with Eddard Stark's gentlemanly temper, let alone saying that he "saved" Bran, even if he knew that Joffrey's assassination of Bran was made up by himself, there was no fear that he would kill himself without saying a word. The important thing is, what is Littlefinger doing with him now?

Based on the conversation he just heard, Egg tried to reconstruct what happened: Arya couldn't stand the boredom and was clamoring to go out, Eddard Stark couldn't resist his daughter and finally agreed to take her shopping, and when he was about to go out, he met Littlefinger who came to visit, and after some exchange, he changed his mind and decided to go with him first.

......

There was no plot in the original plot where Ed took his daughter out shopping, but now the story has changed. The Starks didn't blame the Lannisters for Bran's fall and assassination, and Catelyn didn't sneak to King's Landing and catch Tyrion on the way back, causing a conflict between the two lions...... So Jaime didn't go to Eddard to duel, and all the fifty guards of the Stark family were alive and well. Ed may have quarreled with Robert about the assassination of Daenerys Targaryen, but this did not affect the deep relationship between the two, so he remained here as Prime Minister.

Under this peaceful appearance, as a father, while investigating the cause of the death of the former prime minister, he was in the mood to take his suffocated little daughter to go shopping...... It's also understandable. And what can make a father throw down his agreement with his daughter and temporarily decide to follow along, must be the right thing, what "business" can Littlefinger do with Ed?

＊＊＊

"They seemed to be going in the direction of the hotel where we were staying. ”

As he was thinking about it, Jack's words reminded Egger, and with a little finger smile to Arya......

What is not suitable for children, especially girls?, he remembered the reason why Tyrion insisted on staying at the Albatross Inn on the day he first arrived in King's Landing—"The Red Fort is too far from my favorite brothel"!

It took him a few seconds to come to the conclusion: "They should be going to Silk Street!"

"Huh?" As Tyrion's squire, Jack certainly knew what Silk Street was all about, and he even spent money there with his master. But suddenly, he hesitated a little: "But...... Master Stark doesn't look like a brothel person. ”

"Going to a brothel doesn't have to be prostitution. Egger's pupils dilated, and suddenly more details of the plot flooded into his mind, and he remembered what was going on.

......

Littlefinger's ultimate goal is to profit from the unrest of the Seven Kingdoms, and the top player of the Game of Thrones can find opportunities in any unexpected circumstances and accidents, and he will not put aside his ambitions and big plans just because Catelyn did not come to King's Landing, and even without the silly woman of the Tully family, he still managed to get in touch with Eddard.

Without Caitlin's false guarantee, Eddard's initial trust in Littlefinger would have been greatly reduced, but for a full-level Game of Thrones player: if you dare to talk to me, I can fool you!

Now, the biggest-stirring stick in King's Landing is taking Eddard to Silk Street, taking him to one of Robert's bastard sons, who, by pretending to help him track down the death of the former prime minister, eventually allows Eddard Stark to "discover" the true origins of Cersei's children.

Then, the upright Ed kills his brother Robert and himself, Lan Li escapes King's Landing with her boyfriend and returns to the fiefdom to fight for the throne, Stannis is determined to defend his "legitimate" power, Robb, who is still a child, is hurriedly pushed to the front to become the king of the North, and has a stupid brain to let go of Theon, the hostage of the Greyjoy family...... The War of the Five Kings began.

Egger was confident in the success of the Night's Watch Bonds, both because of Tyrion and because of the greedy nature of humanity that was not influenced by culture and time...... But war, but can completely destroy the survival of finance, including financial scams, imagine that in the case of war, no matter how high the rate of return you offer, who will have the heart and courage to hand over the money to others?

In King's Landing, whether it's the faint Robert, the stupid Joffrey, or even the vicious Cersei, he can't afford to hide even if he can't afford to be provoked by a night watchman...... But only Petyr Berish, who wanted to create chaos and war, and his own conflicts of interest were irreconcilable and unstoppable.

His plans must be ruined!
