At the signal of the Lord of Winterfell, the guard turned away and closed the door, leaving only the two inside. Such a one-on-one situation relaxed Egger's nervousness a little - it didn't seem to be against him.

Robb motioned for Iger to sit down, "Friend, you found out that my brother had fallen from the stairs that day?"

This friend completely reassured Egger that the Stark family was not good at or disdainful of hiding their likes and dislikes for others. He nodded: "I'm ashamed, I could have stopped Young Master Bran's dangerous move, but unfortunately I didn't succeed. ”

"What kind of temper Bran is, I know better than you as a brother. On the wall, no one should try to persuade him to come down, this is also to blame us, he spoils him too much. Robb said with an old-fashioned sigh and shook his head.

......

He was indeed too spoiled by him, and from the chat with the guards, Iger learned that at first, the adults of the Stark family also thought of various ways to help Bran get rid of his hobby of climbing high, but unfortunately after a few times, the child should climb or climb, and Eddard Stark finally acquiesced to this situation.

Bran's fall is inseparable from Jaime's fright and his own interference, but is the parent completely irresponsible? From a modern person's point of view, isn't this neither good education nor good guardianship - to put it mildly, if you don't fall for a lifetime, you deserve it, and for an ignorant child, when the reason is really unclear, you should be beaten!

Egger also came from childhood, and was also beaten by his parents, some for going to the river alone to play and fish, some for stealing family money to buy snacks, and some for skipping class to go to the game room...... When I grew up, I felt a little grateful to my parents not only for not resentment. As long as you control your degree and make sense while fighting, the stick is not an unacceptable beast of prey.

People with flexible brains think about a lot of things as soon as they are distracted...... Of course, Egger was not qualified to preach to Duke Stark's eldest son, and he waited quietly for Robb's next words.

"Don't mention these things that have already passed, but it is your letter that will let him escape again. ”

"My letter?" Egger's expression became solemn, "Assassin...... Shot!?"

"One night shortly after you left, the library tower suddenly caught fire, and most of the people in Winterfell were fighting the fire, except for the guards my father arranged for Bran to and outside Bran's room......"

"The man did it with the guards?"

"No, he just looked down and saw someone at the door and left. Robb explained, "The guards didn't chase after him, but Winterfell was so big after all, and everyone knew each other...... After mobilizing everyone to search, we found him. ”

The assassin was caught. Iger really didn't know what to make, and during the two weeks he lived in Winterfell he tried to change the plot, only to be slapped in the face by both adults and children and turned the plan into a joke, but finally took advantage of the night to whisper a few words to Bunyan Stark, which allowed him to achieve his goal and clear the threat of Tyrion and himself on his way south.

Busy work is not as effective as a lie, is this a sarcasm for him, or is the reality so absurd?

......

"Interrogated?"

He refused to give in and was killed in the process of resisting arrest. Robb shook his head: "Actually, I ordered him not to leave his mouth alive - since we know who sent him, then he can only die." ”

"Yes. Egg nodded, but he was a little glad in his heart, if the assassin was caught and confessed but it wasn't Joffrey, then this oolong would be big.

"Uncle Bunyan said that you are a smart man, then you must understand that this assassin must disappear, and the matter must not be publicized. Robb said solemnly, "Most of the people in Winterfell don't know what's going on, but since you provided the news, I have decided not to hide it from you out of respect, but I hope you can keep it a secret for us." ”

"Understand ......"

Iger nodded, there was no concept of "the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people" in this world, even if the assassin was really sent by Joffrey, it would be difficult for the Stark family to pursue it. Unless the two families go to war, even if there is a fight, in the end, Robert can only teach his son a lesson.

If it is in peacetime, it can make a fuss, and with the relationship between Ed and Robert, the Stark family will definitely not suffer. However, at the point where Eddard had just received the news that the Lannisters had murdered Jon Arryn and the head of the family had set off for King's Landing, Stark did not want to and could not fall out with his most important allies, the Baratheons.

The Starks could only swallow it in their stomachs.

"You can take this. Robb took a leather bag from behind the table and handed it to him.

Egger took the bag, it was heavy, and there was a crunch sound of metal colliding, it was easy to guess what was inside, and he made an uneasy expression: "This?"

"What we found in the place where the Assassin was hiding was a reward from his small employer. Robb showed an angry expression, "My brother is only worth so much money. ”

"It's probably just a deposit...... There will be a balance payment or something after the deed is completed, but give it to me?"

"You're going to King's Landing to run errands for the Night's Watch Legion, and the cost is bound to be quite large, and I've added a golden dragon to the commission for my brother's assassination, and I hope you'll be able to use it. ”

Iger held the bag of coins, which was not light, and almost resolutely refused as he had when he received the red envelope before the crossing, but soon realized that the customs of this world were very different from those of the modern Celestial Empire—it was a reward from a great nobleman, and he really needed money.

Egger's departure from the Wall was not sent by the Night's Watch Legion, and Commander Mormont certainly couldn't have allocated funds for himself to send a Ranger who was supposed to be fighting on the front lines to take refuge in the south, and the days when he was penniless and had to pay for his room and food had to be paid for by Tyrion were too difficult.

"Master Xie. ”

"Put it away. Robb nodded: "Thank you again for your help to my brother, remember what I just told, there is nothing else, see you at dinner." ”

＊＊＊

"The North honors the Night's Watch. ”

Egg had heard this phrase from the black-clad brothers countless times, but it wasn't until Robert left that he visited Winterfell one more time that he realized it wasn't just a statement as he thought it was.

The young lord of Winterfell actually had dinner at the same table with the twelve night watchmen who had visited this time.

According to Egger from Yuren, Robb's move was not a precedent or a special treatment for "saving" Bran, but a rule set by his father, Eddard Stark: before King's Landing became Prime Minister, every time a Night's Watch arrived in Winterfell, Eddard would greet him personally—deserters and oath-breakers would personally serve with swords and guillotines, and Night's Watch soldiers with missions and tasks would not only serve good food and wine, but also dine at the same table and ask about the current situation of the Great Wall face-to-face.

......

Strictly speaking, the last time Egger and Bunjan Stark arrived in Winterfell was because of the King's visit, which was a rare "snub".

However, such treatment could only be left in the north, and the ten-man Ranger convoy returned north to the Wall after a day's stay, while Egger, Yuren, and Tyrion set out on their way south unhurriedly and leisurely.

[Alas, the world is really unpredictable.

I changed into a new vest and threw down the readership I had built up, wanting to experience what it was like to start from scratch. Therefore, the book was not notified to the original regular readers, nor did it ask the editor to sign it.

As a result, every book in the past was signed by SMS in the background of 20,000 or 30,000 words, but there was no news from the book.

This made me a little strange, but I didn't take it to heart - because I knew, or thought I knew, how well a book would end up, and it all depended on the quality of the book, the number of recommendations, the location, and when I signed it.

With this kind of self-confidence, I averaged about 3,000 words a day, and slowly increased to 100,000...... Still didn't come to sign the SMS.

Rub, it turns out that newcomers are not confused...... It's something I haven't experienced before. I've imagined countless situations, but I didn't expect to be stopped at the first step, pretending to be slapped in the face, it's really embarrassing. I admit defeat, for the first time in my life, I found the button to apply for a contract in the background, and clicked it (the new book can only take the initiative to apply for a contract with 100,000 words, and under normal circumstances, 100,000 words are recommended twice).

The news came quickly: Hello, your novel has been reviewed and has not yet reached the signing criteria, please continue to work hard, we will follow up with your work, thank you for your support of TX Literature.

100,000 words, the review is really fast, if this is really a newcomer's new book, wouldn't it be too premature, and it was too J?

Fortunately, I'm not.,For the first time in my life, I opened the QQ friend bar.,Find the editor.,Tell him about it.,Well,The editor said to help me mention it this week...... Okay, wait slowly, maintain normal updates during this period, of course, if there is still no letter within two weeks, I absolutely do not have the patience to write 200,000 words to apply again, and then I can only change the vest and reissue the book, or change places. 】
