(Happy Dragon Boat Festival)

*

The blood gate in the valley is steep on both sides, and there is a narrow mountain road in the middle, which is only enough for two or three horses to walk in parallel. Halfway up the mountain on either side, overhanging military arteries were built, covered with archers.

The Blood Gate, except for being conquered by griffons and dragons, cannot be breached by any attack from the ground.

One husband is a pass, and ten thousand people are not open.

The Bloodgate Castle is located in the middle of the mountain path, and there are winged forts on the walls on both sides that connect it to the main castle.

Prior to the Battle of the West, the Bloodgate Knight was Blackfish Brindon Tully. After the Battle of the West, Brindon Tully became the Scout Captain of the Vanguard. After the battle, Brindon Tully reconciled with his brother Duke Horst Tully and returned to Riverrun as commander of the Riverrun garrison.

The Bloodgate was the gateway to the Valley, the most important military-strategic place in the Valley, and Lady Lysa Tully would never send a general she didn't know anything about guarding the Bloodgate. A strange general calms the blood gate, which makes Mia Shidong feel uneasy.

She told Eddard Stark about her uneasiness.

Eddard Stark looked up overhead, flanked by unclimbable cliffs, the Blood Gate had closed behind him, and the defenders would not be able to break through the Blood Gate if they had any other intentions.

He looked at the overhanging military arteries on the cliffs, and every other distance there was a small stone fort where arrows and soldiers rested.

The danger of the blood gate is closed by one husband, and ten thousand people cannot be opened.

At this time, as long as the archers on the cliffs on both sides attacked them, most of them would have to die here.

Eddard Stark had no defense against Lysa Tully in his heart, Rysa Tully killed Jon Arryn and committed a capital crime, but he and Catelyn spared Lysa Tully in the blood relationship of their relatives, and Rysa Tully really wanted revenge?

But apparently that's not possible.

Because Lysa Tully was in fact a weak and unassertive person, she did not have the courage to do such a rebellious thing as long as she did not touch her son Robert Arryn. She also doesn't have the ability to clean up the mess after the incident. If she lays an ambush here, she will bring about her own destruction.

The wrath of the Northlanders and the Riverlanders will burn down the Eagle's Nest, and the truth about Lysa Tully's poisoning of Jon Arryn will be revealed by Catelyn and Lord Will, ruining her reputation.

The whole team walked past Eddard Stark in high spirits.

Except for Mia Shidong, who was a little uneasy next to him, Eddard Stark couldn't see any dangerous aura.

Eddard Stark looked at the line ahead, and although he couldn't see the person in front, he knew that his two children were walking at the front of the group: Arya with her Namelia, and Bran with his Summer.

Fearless Barristan Selmy, a dozen royal courtiers, Commander Carter Pike of the Wall, Jon Snow and his savage woman Yorkrite, the wildling leader Clankle Outside the Wall, the bravest warrior knight of the nobles of the North, Brienne of Tarth, Ser Hale Hunt of Riverlands, Sir Ronald Clinton of Eagle's Nest...... Shireen Baratheon, the first queen of the legitimate continent of Westeros...... Lysa Tully would never have had the guts to kill so many of them.

If she did, she would have nothing to gain except to kill herself. What did she get in the end? She couldn't get anything but destruction.

"Mia Shidong, you're thinking too much. Eddard Stark muttered.

Lysa Tully had gathered the army of the Vale and was waiting to hand it over to Eddard Stark. She is, after all, Caitlin's own sister, and Arya and Bran's aunt.

Their blood is connected, blood is thicker than water, and they are a real family.

Mia Shidong's face was still faintly uneasy.

"It's okay, kid, let's go together. ”

"Yes, sir. "Mia Shidong is a very resolute girl, and she has inherited the virtues of her father Robert: he is more bold than a boy.

"Do you want to tell her the secret that Robert Baratheon is her real father?" Eddard Stark mused, looking at Mia Stone's muscular body and wheat-colored face.

The boy fell in love with Sir Lynn Cobray's squire, Michelle Redford. Michelle Redford is an aristocratic teenager with first-class swordsmanship, handsome and charming, and as the illegitimate son of Mia Shidong, she is not worthy of Michelle Redford. Even if Michelle Redford was willing to marry her, Redford's family would not agree. When Will learned of this, he suggested that Eddard Stark take Mia Shidong as an acolyte, so that she could get rid of her lowly status as an illegitimate child, and after following Duke Eddard, he could change Mia Shidong's identity and give her a surname if Duke Ed wanted to, or simply adopt her as an adopted son.

Eddard Stark accepted Will's suggestion, and his plan was to adopt her as an adopted son at the right time, giving her the status of a nobleman.

After Melisandre burned Robert's bastard, there are only three bastards of Robert Baratheon that Ed knows: Podrick Storm of Storm's End, Gendry, the blacksmith's apprentice in Steel Street, and Mia Stonedon in the Vale.

"Mia!" Ed said suddenly.

Mia Shidong reined in his horse.

"In the name of the gods, old and new, will you be my adopted son?"

Mia Shidong looked at Eddard Stark in disbelief.

It's ...... Incredible!

In this environment, during the march, without any adoption ceremony and without any warning, Master Eddard Stark suddenly offered to adopt her as an adopted son.

Mia Stone didn't know that her father was Robert Baratheon, and the only memory she had of his father was when she was very young, when he played with her and lifted her above her head. The father was a tall man with a voice like a bell, and a very thick black beard. But the father's face, Mia Shidong has been blurred. She was too young at the time.

"Would you like to?" said Eddard Stark, solemnly.

He's serious!

Eddard Stark is not a casual joker, and Mia Shidong, who has been by Eddard's side since the beginning of the Westverse Campaign, knows this very well.

“...... My lord...... Of course I'm willing to ......" Mia Shidong was a little stunned by the honor and happiness.

"Well, don't kneel yet. Eddard Stark said.

“...... Yes, my lord......" Mia Shidong turned over and fell off his horse, kneeling on the ground.

Eddard Stark took the prayer of the Northerners and gave Mia Shidong his surname, and adopted her as his adopted daughter, and after the prayer was finished, Mia Shidong took an oath in the name of the old and new gods, and she stood up and became a member of the Stark family.

The news soon spread throughout the army.

Eddard Stark suddenly accepted Mia Shidong as his adopted daughter in the Valley of the Blood Gate and gave her the name Mia Stark, this matter is too special, special because it seems too hasty.

The fearless Barristan, Jon Snow, Ronald Clinton and others all felt that something had happened suddenly, and their hearts were inexplicably uneasy.

Jon Snow looked up at the archers of the overhanging military artery on the cliff face, and suddenly he heard a loud shout in the air: Ready!

The archers on the suspended military arteries on both sides drew their bows one after another, and aimed their arrows at the men and horses moving below.

Jon Snow's face changed suddenly.

A shout in mid-air was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day: Release!

Whoosh!

Countless arrows rained down from the cliffs on both sides.
