Chapter 273 Emergency Orders and EpisodesIgor doesn't know anything about the military, and the plan for Robb is To a large extent, it is also taken for granted. It seems that rigorous schemes and deep foresight are convincing. Whether it is the best choice...in fact, it remains to be verified.
He doesn't know if North's benefits outweigh the downsides, but one thing's for sure: oneself and Night's Watch Legion are the big winners in this conversation.
First of all, Robb asked oneself, the theoretically neutral Night's Watch, for advice. Between the two not only had a shared secret in their personal relationship, but he also owed oneself a favor. . With such a relationship, Robb can't really conduct inspections in an integral and incorruptible way - as long as there is no big setback in this tour of the land donation inspection, he will probably not cast aside all considerations for face to stop the land donation placement. Plan
Secondly, the new North guard originally went to the land grant inspection to see the progress of the resettlement plan. In the raison d'être - when the intention to do something is no longer pure, the concentration cannot be fully focused, and the result is likely to change.
Finally, the North's main army, which will never leave again, is itself the natural and powerful "reserve" of Night's Watch. This means that Wall's defensive fault tolerance rate against Others will be greatly improved - even if there is a mistake, Night's Watch will have time to issue a warning, and there is still room for recovery.
＊＊＊
This conversation took a lot longer than expected, but Igor was considered Perfection to have achieved the goal oneself set in his heart when he set off south. The serious talk nonsense ended, and the new owner of North was successfully bluffed. Igor's fourth farewell finally did not have any more moths, and he left the study of the owner of Winterfell.
Several guards who never leave the house are still waiting outside the house. Igor nodded to them and said goodbye to the two guards who belonged to House Stark.
As the Chief Logistics Officer of Night's Watch and one of the important contributors to the expulsion of the Ironmen in this battle, Igor still has a presence in Winterfell even when the army has not been completely disbanded and people are still everywhere in and out of the castle. A separate room is available for rest. He took a few subordinates and walked towards the residence for a few minutes. As soon as he left the sight of the guards and subordinates in Winterfell, the relaxed expression on his face disappeared immediately, the complexion changed, and he beckoned that the most reliable and capable of the guards approached oneself. Take emergency orders.
"You go out of the city right now, bring a dozen people with you, ride back to Queenscrown, and tell Yam: The North Guardian will set off to inspect the land grant in two days, and get ready." Igor spoke quickly. Said: "What to do, I have explained to him in detail before leaving, you don't need to say more, he understands what I mean. But the plan is a little unexpected, and the coping strategy I originally taught him should also be adapted accordingly. Change, you must memorize the following content exactly, and convey it clearly to the mayor and logistics officer of Queenscrown."
The young guard nodded solemnly: "Yes, sir, you Tell me."
"The first is the scale and method of reception. The number of nobles visiting the north has changed from one family to five families..."
Igor thought while walking. To explain, for a while, I felt that oneself had the style of Cao Zhi's poems in seven steps, but he was not creating after all. It was a short 100-meter journey from the study to the guest room. He racked his brains to list a few additions as soon as possible... It was impossible to consider everything in such a short period of time, but there was no way, the time was urgent, he had to get it today Send someone back to report.
As the leader of one of the forces, he also decided to let the following people deal with some of the minutiae.
…
"That's all for now, tell Yam and Humfrey, if they feel there's anything missing, feel free to fill it in for me. Go now, just go as normal, don't have to. Expedited, be careful on the road."
"Yes."
Yam and Humfrey, one family used to manage the gold mine for House Lannister, and the other was the Westerlands formerly at King's Landing Chamber of Commerce's accountants, no matter how bad they are in dealing with people.
The young man turned to leave, Igor turned around, and after thinking about it carefully, he really didn't find anything to add, so he shook his head and planned to push the door into the room.
"Igor...sir?" A clear child's voice came, making him stop.
He turned around and saw a little girl coming out of the corner around the corner of the corridor.
The girl looks younger than Arya, and Igor quickly decides that oneself doesn't know her. The first reaction was that Varys sent his little bird to send a secret letter to oneself... But then he realized that oneself should have no sense of existence in the eyes of the eunuch. The second reaction was that this girl was really pretty, her little face carved in pink and jade was a little red from the cold, and her thick and beautiful blond hair couldn't even cover her leather hat, and a few strands leaking out were enough to attract people's attention.
"It's me." The girl looked like she'd been waiting for a while, and Igor gave up guessing: "Miss you are—"
"I'm Maeve, Maeve. Snow."
Who is this special? Igor is still confused, an illegitimate daughter? But this girl looks pampered and behaves quite elegantly, she said oneself is Arya's younger sister, House Stark Third Young Lady are believed... But Night's Watch is sure: House Stark does not have such a member.
"Hello, Miss Maeve, what can I do for you?" Igor smiled at the girl nodded, and showed the courtesy to the noble lady.
"No...sir, you are serious." The girl's eyes were a little flustered, but she quickly regained her composure: "I heard news that my big brother and younger brother are about to follow you to the Wall. , put on black clothed, and join Night's Watch."
If you can't guess who the girl is, your brain will grow in vain.
Myrcella Baratheon, the original Princess of the Seven Kingdoms!
The way out for this girl that Eddard Stark arranged for this girl during his lifetime seems to be on the right track... However, if you change your name and surname, you can change it, why did you get her the illegitimate child surname of North? What would James think if he knew that oneself's only daughter now bears the name Maeve Snow and is pitifully under the wing of Winterfell?
After thinking about it for a few seconds, Igor realized that the subconsciously idea of oneself had wronged Ed.
When Eddard Stark made this arrangement, he could not have guessed that James would be wearing black clothed by accident. This series of actions is not intended to humiliate anyone - as the whole country knows The product of the chaos, if you want to protect Myrcella, you can only make her original identity disappear from the world. And to do a good job of keeping secrets, this step must not allow any outsiders to intervene... Borrowing a surname for this "bad breed" will be regarded as an insult by even the most dilapidated small family, so the best way is to be like Jon Put on the same disguise as illegal child.
Let Myrcella grow up as a descendant of an unidentified nobleman, the adopted daughter of Winterfell, then marry a minor nobleman or a newly-appointed Knight, have children, husband and children, and live through this peacefully. A lifetime...probably has been the best ending Eddard Stark can imagine for his enemy's daughter.
(James is oneself's oath brother now, so in a sense, isn't Myrcella also oneself's "oath niece"?)
Igor doesn't know why With such a strange idea, he shook his head slightly and threw it away from his mind, he sighed: "The news you got is true, miss."
"Is it true..." Myrcella struggled I came to find him after inquiring about Igor's residence, of course, not to confirm the authenticity of this news. She didn't show any surprise, she lowered her head, sighed in disappointment... She stared at oneself's toes for a while, and then lifted the head again, as if she mustered up her courage to speak: "My big brother, he is a bad guy , to tell you the truth, I have long felt that someone should teach him a lesson and make him suffer a little. But Tommen, he...he is really a kind child, and he is not willing to step on an ant. ... He doesn't know anything about my mother and uncle..." As she spoke, Myrcella's eyes gradually flashed with tears, and she choked up when she spoke, but she held back her tears. I came out, but I couldn't finish what I wanted to say anyway.
Although the girl said nothing on the phone, and even suspected of saying bad things about Joffrey, Igor could probably guess the true intention of the other party - this Little Princess, who was nine or ten years old, was unknown. , even if oneself fell from Heaven to Hell, he did not forget to protect oneself's two brothers, so he specifically asked oneself the address of the Night's Watch officer, and came to beg oneself not to abuse Joffrey and Tommen.
It's really... sensible enough to make people feel distressed.
Igor softened his heart and patted the girl's shoulder lightly: "Miss, I don't know what the Night's Watch Legion looks like in your eyes, but I promise that no one will hurt your brother. , they will be treated fairly."
It is obviously the product of parents who can't control their lower bodies, but they want children to be punished together. From a modern point of view... it is indeed a bit of a sin. From a personal point of view, Igor hates Joffrey very much, and he is also a bear child. He and Arya's naughty are completely two kinds of nature - but, he has a lot of things to do now, and he is never bored enough to deal with falling into it. This little villain in the hands of oneself.
He's going to give Joffrey and Tommen fair treatment, that's true, but let's be honest - it's certainly not for nothing that Wall would be a place of exile for political prisoners. That kind of ghost place, even if no one is deliberately bullying, how can it be comfortable.
"Thanks... for your reassurance... lord." Myrcella wiped the tears from her eyes and seemed to insist on finishing her words: "But I have an unreasonable request... I hope... ...can you take care of them a little bit on the basis of being fair... can you? I know--I know it might be a bit too much, but I'm willing...willing to take anything, do anything..."
Speaking of this, I probably think that oneself has nothing to do, and can't be in a high position, manage thousands of people, and won the trust of House Stark, and can go in and out of Winterfell at will The adult man in the main study did anything, Myrcella didn't continue talking - oneself changed her name to hide her identity, but for the political stability of Seven Kingdoms, her two brothers had to officially announce their participation in Night's Watch with their original identities , the thought that they would spend their lives under the contemptuous eyes of monsters around her made her heart ache.
The girl finally couldn't hold back her tears, so she covered her face and cried.
Igor looked helplessly at the guards who were watching the show, but all of them just shrugged helplessly, no one knew how to comfort the crying little in front of him girl.
"Okay, Miss Maeve, I promise you." Igor resignedly succumbed to the tears of his oneself sworn niece: "I'll do my best to make sure your brother is safe and feeling well in the Wall— - Whether it is physical or psychological. If necessary, you can also apply to the Winterfell City Lord to visit them at the right time and in the right way. Is this answer satisfactory, Miss?"
"Thank you, my lord...Thank you..."
Igor didn't know if Myrcella was really broken, or if she was acting like this on purpose to gain sympathy and promise, but he was a little afraid of letting The girl continued to talk, and some bloody things like "devote one's life to" and "work extremely hard to repay" would also appear, and quickly winked at a guard beside her: "Send Miss Maeve back to her residence. , take care of her!"
......
Cersei, such a wonderful woman, can actually give birth to such a smart and kind daughter, if Arya is half as sensible as her, she should give How much worry does her parents and oneself save?
But on second thought, this kind of "sensible" itself is a very sad thing - moving from the lively, prosperous and warm Red Keep to the cold fortress of Winterfell, surviving by hostile benevolence, watching other people's If you want to help protect oneself's biological brother, you have to rack your brains to inquire about news, and even use the ultimate weapon of tears.
This is what happens to losers.
Although I was annoyed to death every time I met, Igor was sure: if oneself also has a daughter in the future, oneself would rather she be a bear child like Arya, who will pester oneself when oneself is busy oneself, will get into trouble to get oneself out of the way...you can spend your childhood carefree, always innocent, happy, and love of life.
Of course, don't kill oneself.
I sighed inexplicably for a while, and Igor, who watched oneself's guards send Myrcella away, relaxed for a long time, and immediately remembered something important.
"Do you know who she is?"
"Probably..."
"The daughter of our green hat king."
"No, the correct answer is, I don't know." Igor stared solemnly at the self-conscious subordinate, then looked around at everyone present: "She is just an ordinary girl adopted by Winterfell, you don't know her I don't know the origin, and I haven't heard of today's conversation, so I've kept my mouth under control, can I understand?"
Looking at the officer's expression, several people have been following him since King's Landing. Knowing that he wasn't joking, Igor's soldiers responded with awe, "Yes, my lord."
Eddard Stark's arrangement was not perfect, but it was quite thoughtful. Whether it's out of homage to the late great character, or for simply protecting an innocent girl, Igor doesn't want to let the concealment of Myrcella's identity fall into the hands of oneself.
Well...it's nice to be a pure and noble good guy once in a while.
