  Chapter 221 The Wolf by the Trident River

  After the meeting, Tyrion walked out of the chamber and saw Bronn saluting Cersei respectfully.

   Waiting for Cersei to go away, Tyrion came to Bronn in a bad mood, and sarcastically said:

   "Mercenary, when did you become a knight?"

   Bronn held his head high and held his chest high: "Although I'm not a knight yet, I think I'm considered a gentleman now."

  Tyrion curled his lips: "But I still prefer you when you were an inferior person."

   "Fuck you, dwarf!" Bronn germinated.

  Tyrion was not only not angry, but smiled and whistled:

   "Haha, that's Shae's job."

  The two bickered all the way and returned to their residence. Tyrion was about to make out with Shae again, but just as he unbuttoned his pants, he heard another knock on the door.

  Tyrion opened the door angrily, saw Varys standing outside, and cursed:

   "Damn spider! You better have something important, or..."

   "An extremely important matter." Varys said seriously, "I just received news that Margaery Tyrell has been officially engaged to Samwell Caesar in High Court."

  Tyrion's eyes widened: "Are you kidding me?"

   "It is absolutely true, my good lord. And your brother, Sir Jaime, was forcibly taken to the Great Wall by the Tyrell family."

  Tyrion leaned weakly against the door frame, his eyes glazed over.

  The next second, he jumped up suddenly and shouted:

   "Bron! Bronn! Get the horses! Let's go to Harrenhal!"

  Harrenhal is located in the Riverlands, on the north shore of God's Eye Lake, and is the largest castle in the Seven Kingdoms.

  Back then, the king of the Iron Islands and the land between the rivers, "Black Heart" Heron Hall devoted all his manpower and material resources from the two lands, and it took forty years to finally build this magnificent castle.

  The day it was completed, Harren proudly declared that the castle would never be taken.

   I don’t know if the gods heard this mortal’s wild words and decided to teach him a lesson. On the same day that Harrenhal was built, Aegon Targaryen the Conqueror landed at the mouth of the Blackwater.

   Yes, the most magnificent castle in the Seven Kingdoms is indeed beyond human power, but the "conqueror" has a dragon.

  According to historical records, Aegon the Conqueror descended from the sky riding Balerion the Black Death, and the roaring dragon flames turned the giant tower of Harrenhal into a candle lit in the night.

  Molten stone flowed down the tower like a stream, and Harun the Blackheart, his sons, vassals, and soldiers were all burned alive in the tower.

   This tall tower still stands like a scorched finger, and it is called the "Fenwang Tower".

   "Little Devil" Tyrion found his father, Duke Tywin, in this tower.

   "This is a terrible tomb." Tyrion complained, "My lord, I heard that the ghosts of the Hall family are still wandering here. Did you hear anything when you slept at night?"

  Duke Tywin stared at his youngest son with those shining golden eyes:

   "What are you doing here?"

  Tyrion poured himself a glass of wine, gulped it down, took a breath, and said:

   "I have very bad news for you."

   "Samwell Caesar's engagement to Margaery Tyrell?"

   "You have already received the news? But hasn't Harrenhal been deserted for many years, without bachelors and crows?"

  Duke Tywin shook his head expressionlessly: "Guess. Apart from this, I can't think of any worse news."

   "Then what should we do now?" Tyrion was anxious, "Once Riverbend joins Stannis' side, we have no chance of winning!"

   "Who told you that Riverbend would join Stannis' side?" Duke Tywin asked indifferently.

  Tyrion froze for a moment, then calmed down, thought about it carefully, and finally realized:

   "Do you think Hewan will learn from us during the Snatcher War and wait until the last moment to end!"

  He paused for a moment, then frowned and said, "Then let's fight the northerners to the death, and then let Hewan come out to clean up the mess and become the final winner?"

   "Of course we can't let Hewan sit quietly and watch the show." Duke Tywin said, "So I have thrown a bait."

   "What bait?"

   "The Stormlands."

"The Stormlands?" Tyrion was stunned for a moment before he realized, "So that's your plan to let the king legalize the illegitimate son of the Baratheon family! I thought you just wanted to divide the nobles of the Stormlands... But, Father, aren't you worried that Hewan really took this opportunity to swallow the bait? I'm afraid we will face a bigger threat then."

  Duke Tywin remained calm and calm: "That is a poisonous bait, and the people of Hewan will definitely pay the price for their ambition."

   Tyrion stared into his father's eyes: "Poisonous? How are you going to make the people of the Reach pay?"

   Duke Tywin did not answer this question.

Tyrion shrugged and relaxed a lot: "Well, I, the Minister of Finance, really have no right to ask about military matters. In addition, I have some bad news to tell you. My good brother James was arrested by the Tyrell family. The people escorted to guard the Great Wall."

  The temperature in the room seemed to drop suddenly.

  Tyrion felt that his father was not so angry even when he heard that the Reach rejected his own olive branch just now.

   "I see." Duke Tywin squeezed out a few words through his teeth.

"Actually, the night watchman is not bad." Tyrion seemed to be trying to comfort his father, "Although the Great Wall is colder, but there is no need to worry about food and clothing. Although you can't marry a wife and have children, but my brother is the Kingsguard, so he can't do it either." Marrying a wife, having children and receiving a title, so he is actually just working in another place..."

  Tyrion felt that Duke Tywin's eyes were getting colder and colder, and finally closed his mouth wisely.

   "Okay, father, I won't stay here overnight." Tyrion turned around quickly, "I don't want to be found by the ghosts of the Hall family."

   After speaking, he ran away as if to escape.

  ————

  The Stack of the Knees is said to be the place where the King of the North knelt and surrendered to Aegon the Conqueror three hundred years ago.

   This famous inn, located on the south bank of the Trident River, between Riverrun and Harrenhal, had become a huge military camp at this time.

  The original signboard of the inn showed a kneeling king, but it was torn down by the northerners and replaced with a direwolf flag.

  After retreating from Sky and City, Duke Ed Stark thought that the Lannister family would be captured without a fight—because in his opinion, the West had no chance of winning at all.

  The four major families of fish, wolf, deer and eagle are united, and the lion can only submit.

   What's more, they are still on the right side, and Hewan and Dorne will definitely express their support. Under such circumstances, the Lannister family can only voluntarily hand over the Iron Throne and seek a decent exit.

  But the development of the matter left the Duke of Winterfell dumbfounded.

  The lion not only did not give in, but instead ruthlessly attacked. He joined forces with the Martell family to trap the armies of the riverlands, valleys, and stormlands in Dorne.

   Before the fight started, three players in the Fish, Wolf, Deer and Eagle Alliance were seriously injured.

  In anger, Duke Eddard did not continue to retreat to the northern border, but stopped on the south bank of the Trident River. While confronting Harrenhal's western border army at a distance, he summoned the nobles from the riverlands and valleys to come to support him.

  Under the call of Duke Hoster Tully, the nobles of the Riverland sent out the last of their troops, of course, except for "Late Frey". But Duke Ed is willing to wait for the Marquis of Luanhe City. After all, both the strength of the opponent and the location of the castle are extremely important to him.

  It's the valley...

   "The nobles of the valley besieged the Eyrie?" Duke Ed asked in disbelief.

   "Yes, my lord." The messenger said affirmatively, "The city of Eagle's Nest is currently under siege, and I haven't been able to see Duke Robert and Lady Lysa at all."

   "Who are the people who besieged the city? Why did they do this?"

   "It was the call initiated by Countess Anya Waywood, and almost all the nobles in the valley responded. They condemned the Duke of Eyrie City's silence when he conquered Dorne before, and his inaction after the army in the valley is trapped..."

   "Damn it!" Duke Ed cursed, "The Duke of Eagle's Nest City is only seven years old now! What do you want him to do?"

   "So the nobles of the Valley are actually pointing their fingers at Lady Lysa, believing that she is not qualified to take over the authority of the Valley, nor is she capable of raising the young Duke. Countess Anya asked Lady Lysa to hand over the Duke to Iron Oak to raise him."

"You go to the valley again." Duke Eddard ordered, "tell Lady Anya that Robert Arryn is the only heir of my adoptive father, and I will raise him personally. But you can appoint her as the guardian of the valley, and the Duke of the Eagle's Nest Before becoming an adult, the Waywood family will be in charge of the valley. The only condition is that she must lead an army to the Kneeling Inn, and join forces with me to fight against the false king who has stolen the Iron Throne."

   "Yes." The messenger took the order and left.

  Duke Ed was about to continue his meal when he saw the door open, and his eldest son Robb Stark and adopted son Theon Greyjoy walked in.

   "Father," Robb yelled excitedly as he entered, "I've brought three thousand more from the North! When are we going to attack the Lions?"

   Duke Ed frowned suddenly: "Who asked you to come?"

  Seeing that his father's expression was not right, Robb suddenly lost his excitement at the beginning, and replied cautiously: "I think you will need support, so I called some people to help on my own initiative."

   "Go back." Duke Eddard said angrily, "As the eldest son of the Stark family, you must sit in Winterfell."

  Robb was not happy: "Father, there is mother in Winterfell, and nothing will happen. It is impossible for lions to cross us and enter the north."

   "Go back!" Duke Eddard said firmly, "You are not needed here, but Winterfell needs it. Our enemies are never just in the south."

  Rob muttered a few times, but he didn’t dare to refute his father after all, and said in a muffled voice:

"good."

  At this time, Theon Greyjoy, the adopted son of the Duke, said:

   "Lord Ed, I can travel to the Iron Islands for you and convince my father to send troops to help you deal with the Lannister family."

   "No need." Duke Eddard refused again, "I have already sent the raven to the Iron Islands, I believe your father will make the right choice."

  Xion was a little lost, hesitated for a moment, and said again:

   "Then can I stay and fight for you?"

   "No. You and Robb go back to Winterfell."

   "Yes..." Theon lowered his head and clenched his cheeks.
