"Who are you?" Tyrion, who was pleasing each other with Shae lying in thick fur, lifted his ugly head with a bulging forehead.

Shae was not shy, but raised her head and looked at the teenager who broke into the tent with a charming sweet smile.

The teenager is shy, or he is not a teenager, but a boy. With brown hair and blue eyes, he looked more timid than a rabbit and shy than a girl, he didn't dare to look at Tyrion and Shae, and when he came in, he stared down at his toes to hide his shyness and embarrassment.

"Who's the boy?" asked Tyrion again.

The boy's hands twisted, and he was uneasy.

Shae kissed Tyrion's stubble-covered face with a small cherry bite and said softly, "Don't scare him, my lord, he's still a child." ”

"Alright!" Tyrion sat up, his tone slower, "Boy, open your mouth for me to see." ”

The boy finally mustered up the courage to look at Tyrion, and then, confused, opened his mouth little by little.

"You have a tongue, he's it, so why don't you speak?"

"I ...... I...... Me?"

"What's your name?"

“...... Podrick Pine. ”

"Oh, the Pyne family. "Tyrion is in the mood. The Pyne family is a great nobleman in the West, and this time there is also an army involved in the Battle of the Green Fork.

"Podrick, how old are you? ”

"Twelve years old, sir. The boy's wrenched hands slowly loosened, and the shy flush on his face slowly faded.

"What do you do in the military?"

"Take care of the horses and cattle that pull the baggage. ”

"Oh, which of the knight's squires are you?"

"Sir Cedric Pine. ”

"Cedric? I know him, but what about the others? Did he tell you to come to me?"

"No, sir. Sir Cedric was killed in battle. ”

"Oh, that's not lucky. You're in charge of logistics, why did Sir Cedric die in battle?"

"He led us into battle. ”

"Oh, what a brave fellow. ”

Tyrion scolded Cedric for being stupid. During the war, Tyrion only hated that he was not far enough away from the battlefield, and Cedric was obviously far away, but he just ran up, and finally stupidly succeeded in sending him to his death.

"And did you also participate in the battle?"

"Yes, sir. ”

"You've killed someone?"

"Yes, sir. ”

Tyrion looked back at Shae, both of them a little surprised.

This little boy blushed with shyness at the sight of someone, and killed someone.

"How many?"

"One, my lord, is nothing more than a wounded enemy. I was ridiculed by my comrades. ”

"No, no, boy, you're already brave, at least braver than me. So, what are you doing here?"

"The Duke ordered me to come. ”

"My father?"

"Yes. ”

"What did he order you to do with me?"

"Be an attendant of an adult. ”

Tyrion's eyes rolled, this kid looks honest, but he is my father's spy, and my father is still not at ease with me, so he wants to send a spy to me so that he can report my every move.

"Podrick, I already have a guard, a three-hundred-strong Raven, Shaga and Conn are the warriors of the Raven Clan, and the two captains of my guard. Go back, go and be my father's guard, I don't need you here. ”

"Not a guard, my lord, I'm here to be a squire. After Sir Cedric's death in battle, it was Lord Kevon who took me in, and he recommended me to the Duke, who called me to serve you. ”

Tyrion felt a headache. He could see that this kid was a dead eye, and he wouldn't leave anymore when he looked at him, so he had to find a way to convince this kid to leave automatically.

"Podrick Pine, where's your father?" Pyne is a big family, and this kid's father must be a knight, so letting him come home is the best way to touch the little guy's heart.

"My father had died, and I was three years old at the time. ”

"Oh, how did you die?"

"Nine years ago the Greyjoy Rebellion in the Iron Islands, my father fought in the counterinsurgency led by King Robert, and he was killed in Pike City. ”

Tyrion closed his eyes, "That's unfortunate, son, but what about your mother? ”

"No, she won't. "My mother is the daughter of a grocer in the city of Lannisport who abandoned me when I was four years old and left Westeros on a ship with a merchant from across the Narrow Sea, and I never saw her again. I have been with Sir Cedric ever since. Until...... Until Sir Cedric died in battle this morning. ”

Tyrion suddenly felt thirsty.

Whether to accept this kid or not, that's a question. If he doesn't accept it, this kid will be homeless! Moreover, he is timid and shy, and he will be bullied by others.

"Your Excellency!" Shae's two snow-white arms wrapped around Tyrion's neck, "this boy is so cute, why don't you want him? ”

Tyrion looked at Podrick Pine, "Podrick Pine, were you sent by my father to spy on me?"

"No, sir. ”

"Well, let me put it another way, did my father ask you to report to him everything about me, like how many drinks I had today, which brothel I went to tomorrow, and so on. ”

"My lord, I can read and write, but I don't have a raven. I am your attendant, and I will be loyal to you alone. ”

"Very smart kid, and very good at talking, then okay, I want you. Now I want you to do something for me. ”

"What's the matter?"

"You go find two wagons, and we'll set off for King's Landing. One for me, one for you and Shae, are you a virgin?"

Podrick Pine's face flushed.

Shae squirmed, Podrick's hands twisted together, and Tyrion smirked evilly.

*

In front of the mountains of loot were rows of northern captives sitting on the ground.

Syllable!

A loud slap in the face.

Sir Stephen Swever, the chief in charge of logistics, was knocked to the ground by a slap from the Magic Mountain.

The knights of the Hundred Regiment behind him pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords and glared angrily at the Demon Mountain, but no one dared to move.

The two bowstrings of Ange and Julie had already set their arrows on them.

The captain Erin and the vice-captain Gra Lantern beside the Magic Mountain also pressed the hilt of their swords with their hands. Behind them, there were the guards and warriors of the Magic Mountain, a team of hundreds.

The leader of the mountain people, the one-eyed charm, the little beauty Zira, and the thin man Gonthor had already shown their weapons, and behind them were more than a thousand mountain barbarians.

"Magic Mountain, the Duke only promised to reward you with a thousand sets of weapons, armor and helmets, and I can only distribute them according to orders. Stephen said with his face covered on the ground.

Ti Mei strode forward, holding a mace in his hand, and pressed Stephen's chest with the other, "Fuck you!" Before the war began, the old lion promised us 3,000 sets of armor, and now that the war is over, we have paid for half of our lives, but you don't give us armor weapons, what the old lion said is a fart?"

The mace in his hand slammed down, and the mace grazed Sir Stephen Swiver's helmet and fell, causing a flash of fire. The mace smashed into the dirt, and the dirt flew up.

Stephen was stupid!

Boom!

The knights of the Swiffer family flashed their swords one after another, and shouted one after another, "Stop, barbarians!" "Lord Magic Mountain, are you going to kill us all?" "Go report to Lord Duke, go quickly!" "Demon Mountain, we are ordered to act, let the barbarians stop." ”

The magic mountain waved his hand: "Zira, Timei, Gonsor." Each of you will take a team of 100 men, and surround me with these fellows, and whoever dares to do anything will kill him. ”

"Yes, my lord!"

Zira, Time, and Gontsor immediately led three centurions to surround the Swivel family's centurions.

Boom!

Both sides showed their weapons and went toe-to-toe!

It's just that Swift's knights began to sweat profusely on their foreheads, and some of the warriors' eyes flashed.

"Stephen, go and report to Duke Tywin, I led the mountain brothers to move the three thousand sets of armor weapons and helmets that the Duke promised me, and they deserve it. This is not only a reward for their combat merits, but also a ransom for the little devils. Go on, you damn bastard. Demon Mountain scolded sharply.

Stephen Schwiffer got to his feet, and Tiem flew up and kicked him in the. Amid the laughter of the crowd, Stephen stumbled on his horse and walked away.

Magic Mountain said: "Brothers, let's do it, and carry the three thousand sets of weapons, armor, and helmets belonging to the mountain brothers into the wagon and transport them to Harrenhal. ”

The Demon Mountain must get these three thousand sets of things, otherwise, he will lose his supreme prestige over the mountain people. Even if the Duke has repentance, the Magic Mountain will never give in. With Duke Tywin's old spiciness, he would naturally understand the importance of this matter to the Magic Mountain. In fact, the Duke promised that after the war, he would give more rewards to the mountain people, not just three thousand sets of armor.

According to the duke's plan to lure the enemy beforehand, the duke thought that in this battle, the mountain people who were cannon fodder would be wiped out.

It's just that the duke, who has always looked down on the 'lowly' barbarians, is wrong again!

When the Magic Mountain announced the move, the mountain people and the Klegane soldiers cheered, everyone did it, the ants moved, and soon, the mountains of weapons, armor, and helmets collapsed.

The knights and soldiers of the Swevifer family dared not speak out.

Although Earl Schwiffer's sister is the wife of Kavon Lannister, the Magic Mountain is very difficult to mess with, and everyone knows it. No one dared to test the determination of the Magic Mountain with their lives.

The generals of the western realm gathered together and crowded into the Cross Inn on the west bank of the Green Fork River.

The hall was noisy, and Duke Tywin didn't say a word, listening to the generals.

Duke Tywin would hardly open his mouth unless he had to. Everything he needed to say, Kaivon Lannister said for him. When everyone was arguing, Tywin watched every general's words and actions. This is also a habit for him to know his vassals.

He knows at a glance who is stupid and who is cunning, who is resourceful and who is loyal.

There weren't two people in the room: the Magic Mountain and the Little Devil.

Earl Swift of Corn City suggested that the westward army should be led by the Magic Mountain and the mountain people, and at present, the scattered princes of the Three Rivers Valley have returned to Riverrun, and the forces of the North and the Riverlands are concentrated together, and the number of troops has exceeded that of the West. Along the way, a real warrior is needed, and Magic Mountain is the most suitable person.

Many generals agreed with Schwiever. Only Adam Malbran did not think so, and he was invited to be the vanguard, willing to lead his men westward first. Adam Malbran had a feud with the Magic Mountain, and his father, Count Malbran, had his right hand cut off by the Magic Mountain.

Another part of the generals believed that peace should be negotiated, and the two sides exchanged hostages.

Many of the knights and family heirs of the West, including Jaime Lannister, were captured alive by the main cavalry of the Northerners, and many of the Earls and Knights of the North were captured by the Westside Army on the east bank of the Green Fork River.

And once the Western Army retreats westward, Luce Bolton will inevitably cover up from the rear, and if the little wolf leads the army to meet the battle, it will form a two-sided flank attack, which will be greatly disadvantageous to the Western Army.

At the same time, it is necessary to guard against the army of the Vale coming out to reinforce the Riverlands and the North, after all, the mother of Duke Robert of the Vale is Lysa Tully, and she is the daughter of the Duke of Khorst in Riverrun.

Earl Gavin Westerling of Crag Rock City believes that the best option for the Westlanders at the moment is to negotiate peace, which can win back Jaime Lannister first, and the two daughters of the Stark of the North, as well as Eddard Stark, are detained in the Red Keep, and the lives of these three people can force the Northerners to cease the war.

Duke Tywin remained silent, he knew very well that Gavin's youngest daughter Elenia was still in Riverrun, that Elenia and Edmure had been engaged, and that Gavin had tried his best to negotiate peace, and that it was likely that he would have his own selfish intentions.

However, Tywin does want to negotiate peace, as long as he can exchange Jaime back first, Tywin is willing to negotiate peace - but unfortunately, Earl Gavin said that Arya Stark and Eddard Stark are not in Cersei's hands. Arya has disappeared and has not been found, and Eddard has also disappeared from the dungeons of the Red Keep, although the news is tightly sealed, but it cannot be hidden for long.

Gavin still doesn't know that Eddard Stark has escaped or that Arya is missing, which shows that the Mountain is tight-lipped about King's Landing, and he hasn't said anything important to his father-in-law, Gavin. The loyalty of the Magic Mountain has never failed Tywin.

Kevon said: "The Magic Mountain is in charge of breaking off the rear and garrisoning Harrenhal this time, so we don't have to worry about Luce Burton's subsequent cover-up when we retreat west." There is only one way for the Vale Army to get out, and before they can catch up with us, they must first take the Magic Mountain in Harrenhal, or they will suffer. Therefore, when we retreat westward and the Magic Mountain is broken, we don't have to worry about our backs at all. The forward of the retreat to the west, with the brave Sir Adam Malbran, I think fits. War or peace, let's rush to Riverrun City first and then discuss. ”

Dressed in dirt, Stephen hurried into the hall.

The nobles of the Western Realm who were in the meeting looked at him palely.

Earl Schweffer was even more worried about his son, he saw the shocking slap mark on the left side of his son's face, purple and bloody, he resisted it and did not speak first.

Stephen knelt down on one knee and faced Tywin: "Lord Duke, the Magic Mountain led the mountain people and the Cregan guards to forcibly loot three thousand sets of armor, weapons and helmets on the east coast, please send a law enforcement officer to arrest the Magic Mountain, and punish him severely according to military law." ”
