The king on the Great Wall

"I'm afraid this won't work. Even if it's just a temporary forbearance and retreat, it will collapse the queen's "shackle breaker" after it spreads. She may lose the Unsullied and the free militia she relied on in an instant. ——The support of these two slave-born armies. Tariffs, trade regulations, and even minor bleeding on cash and property can be suppressed as long as they are not so large as to cause immediate impact, but these problems of principle... must not Hastily let go, abandoning justice and stability."

"The queen's loss of the loyalty of the slaves may not necessarily be a bad thing for you, it just depends on whether you have that plan." Tyrion gave him a meaningful look, shaking his head as if to shake off something ——He came to do great things and leave a name in history, not to persuade his friends to be traitors and thieves. It takes several weeks to transmit, which means that whatever news comes from the trading city-state, it is unlikely to affect the morale of the army you lead before the victory is decided in the west-as long as you can do it as quickly as you boast. Quick decision."

"As for the subsequent news that the queen intends to compromise with the slave owners, it will have a negative impact on your majesty's character design. In fact, there are ways to save it. I will skillfully control the scale so that the slave owners have illusions about the queen giving up the abolition of slavery. , and did not sign any treaties and documents with legal significance that may be slapped in the face in the future. When the time comes, the royal government just categorically denies the authenticity of this rumor and announces that my diplomatic strategy has violated the instructions of the Queen and the Prime Minister. However, using this as an excuse to take me down as the Minister of Finance, and then recall and replace a group of diplomats... As for the decline in international reputation that will result from doing so, it will definitely be better than fighting on both sides anyway."

This is really an expedient measure to delay the time. If the final strategy of pacifying the Seven Kingdoms goes wrong, it will be a dilemma.But fortunately, with weapons having the advantage of crushing, the war on the river bend can definitely be ended quickly, so that he can get back to the Eastern Front in time and clean up the mess on both sides of the Narrow Sea.

Iger pondered for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth: The current situation is that I have been killed by Illyrio, and I need the help of my friends to deal with the aftermath. Wishful thinking, rather than directing blindly when you are about to leave, it is better to delegate power to capable people.

The little devil never let him down.

"Since I have entrusted you with the matter, I trust your judgment and ability. I will only tell you the general direction, the possible timetable and follow-up plan of the Western Expedition. How you will coordinate in the east, just boldly according to the situation. Adapt to the situation and decide together with the Queen!"

……

After a lengthy conversation and discussion, the carriage just arrived at the Prime Minister's temporary residence, and was greeted by the guards and slowly drove into the main entrance. Iger stepped off the carriage first.

He wanted to ask someone to call Myrcella, but when he saw the girl waiting for him in the courtyard, he waved to her: "Maeve, come into the hall with me, and entertain the guests!"

Tyrion carefully jumped off the side of the carriage, and was about to complain about the dilapidated and shabby prime minister's temporary residence, when he raised his eyes and saw the blond girl who was approaching him but widened her eyes and slowed down when she saw him, suddenly Both were stunned on the spot.

Chapter 652 The So-called Destiny

The two Lannisters, one big and one small, looked at each other. After three or two seconds, they both realized that they could not recognize each other in public, so they pretended nothing happened, looked around and looked at the scene in the courtyard, and the other ran to Iger to report to him and start rearranging. Good schedule... walked and talked into the room, until the latter turned around and no one was around, Tyrion grabbed Myrcella's hand, and his voice trembled: "Gods of the Seven, how could you it's here?"

Myrcella was held by her uncle who had always been close but had been away for several years. She felt the strength and warmth from his palm, and felt the surprise and concern he expressed beyond words. She was both excited and frightened. She glanced at Iger timidly, seeing him With a smile on his face, there was no abnormality on his face, so he was relieved.After taking a sniff, she opened her mouth slowly, telling briefly but clearly how she experienced the upheaval in King's Landing City during the "Battle of the Father", to being under house arrest under the control of the then Prime Minister Ed Stark, and then being arrested by Sent to Winterfell to change her name and change her surname to become "Maeve Snow", the adopted daughter of the wolf family, and then meet and get acquainted with Iger by "coincidental coincidence", and finally catch the night watchman Nanzheng's ride and return to King's Landing The whole process.

Among the three famous "Lions of the Lions", the whereabouts of the two boys, Joffrey and Tommen, were announced to the seven kingdoms—the only girl named Myrcella who lost the right to claim the throne forever in black After leaving the Red Castle, he completely disappeared from everyone's field of vision, as if he had evaporated from the world.Although I know in my heart that this is most likely the result of Ed hiding her identity and wanting to protect her, but as a Lannister, my niece and niece still need to rely on the kindness of the enemy family to protect her, which is really uncomfortable. feel good.

Although Cersei is not a good sister, her daughter Myrcella has been one of Tyrion's favorite family members since she was a child. This girl can be said to be the most "relative" to him among all the Lannister descendants in the world For that one, it is not an exaggeration to describe this kind of intimacy with "seeing yourself as yourself".Although she omitted the unpleasant part of being homeless and cold-eyed in the description to avoid arousing her uncle's self-blame and worry, how could Tyrion, who had also been in distress, not imagine that... a girl in her early ten years raised her eyes. The sadness and misery of living alone under the fence for several years without relatives?

How prosperous and powerful the Lannister family was once, but it was once reduced to such a precarious situation that even the personal freedom of the younger generation could not be protected. Thinking of this, Tyrion felt his heart being clenched by a big hand, his eyes closed. They all suddenly felt sour, and it took a lot of effort to hold back the tears.Rao Yi, with his usual eloquence, also stuttered and incoherent for a while: "It's good... you, it's good that you're fine, God... look, it feels like I haven't seen you in the blink of an eye, you're even taller than me It's even higher...that's great, great!"

"I received her who came to see my younger brother during the land-grant period, and I got some interesting suggestions from this girl. I owe her a favor. Later, when I followed the queen to the south and temporarily settled in Winterfell for a rest, Myrcella found me , Said that she was not happy at Stark's house, and hoped that I could take her out of the North. During this journey, she has been doing some clerical and assistant work by my side." Iger smiled and watched the young and old couple Weeping reunion, she explained, "But she is a girl after all, and her identity is sensitive, so it is not appropriate to be by my side all the time. I was thinking... You are her uncle, and you have always been more reliable than her parents. A qualified guardian, it's perfect for you to arrange her way out and future."

***

It wasn't Igger's negligent or impulsive decision to meet Tyrion with Myrcella: the former was his assistant and secretary, the latter was the Targaryen Chancellor of the Exchequer and his elder brother of Igger West. Friends and good helpers, it is an impossible task to make these two people avoid each other all the time without looking up and down. Instead of acting guilty, it is better to find an opportunity to be generous in a controllable situation Arrange a reunion for everyone's benefit.

He had been waiting for the right moment, but who would have thought that this moment would suddenly hit him in the face.

Iger did take Myrcella away from Winterfell, but the reason was not because of the good intentions just mentioned, but because she accidentally broke the scene of getting up and moving while he was pretending to be sick, so he had to decisively detain her. Take it with you.

At that time, the accident really scared the two of them enough, but after nearly a hundred days, the uneasiness and fear of both parties have gradually faded and dissipated with the passage of time.After getting along with each other day and night these days, Myrcella was able to further feel Iger's personal charm and the vigorous vitality exuded by the innovative faction he represented. Iger was also able to get a more in-depth and detailed understanding from the superficial and alienated perspectives of readers, audiences and "uncle acquaintances". The intelligence, bravery and calmness of this little princess...

The two groups of Illyrio and Little Aegon and Jon Connington are the only two groups in the world who might try to get to the bottom of it to find the murderer for Varys and avenge the murderer, and the former of the two had been in public at the gate of Linhe half a day ago They were killed, and the latter group was about to lead their troops to annihilate them... At this moment, Iger suddenly no longer worried that Myrcella would leak what he heard and saw.

In addition to the emotional impression of her being reliable, trustworthy, and "tight-mouthed", I also believe that she has a rational mind that can judge that "it will not be of any benefit to myself or the Lannister family" .Myrcella will not do stupid things that hurt others or herself out of nervousness or panic. Even if one day she decides to tell the whole story to Tyrion, it must be because of some unforeseen changes that lead to He had a rift with Tyrion, so that the Lannister family headed by the latter was determined to deal with him by any means.

If things really come to the point where Myrcella is required to appear as a witness to accuse herself of murdering the Queen's servants—if she doesn't confess her identity, her testimony will be useless, and if she confesses her identity, she is first and foremost a kingslayer, the queen's murderer of her father and enemy Descendants, followed by witnesses, and this is almost the same method of injuring one thousand enemies and eight hundred at the same time.

Not to mention, with his own principles of handling things, if the contradictions and confrontations really come to that point, it is absolutely impossible for him to let his opponent take the lead.

When his status and power were not as good as others, he dared to strike first and show his sword. Now that one person is under ten thousand people, is he afraid of trouble?

***

"Hmm..." Tyrion naturally couldn't guess what thrilling story happened between his friend and niece, and he just took it for granted when he heard that Iger wanted to give it to him, nodded and looked at Myrcella again, "Good boy, I'm not a stubborn and pedantic person. I'll let you decide on this matter. Where do you want to go and how do you live? Just tell uncle, as long as I can do it, I will satisfy you at all costs!"

This question came too suddenly, and she was completely stunned without any mental preparations. She stood there for a while before turning her head, and looked at Iger with tears in her eyes: "My lord, it's because my work has not met your expectations and expectations. request, so you want to drive me away?"

Iger put away his smile, and shook his head solemnly at her: "No, you are a smart and clever girl, whether you are an administrative assistant, life secretary or a small staff, you are all very competent, I even doubt whether I can still do it after leaving you." Find an assistant who is equally qualified as you, but this should not be your fate, I can't decide the future for you because of my own selfishness. You will briefly hand over the work later, have dinner, and leave with your uncle today."

He answered firmly, without any room for discussion, because if the matter was brought up in the form of asking for opinions, with this girl's cautiousness, she would only feel that this was another test and temptation for her, and I was afraid that she would be afraid of being wronged .And if she refuses to leave under nervousness and still stays by his side, it will make Tyrion suspect that he is taking Myrcella as a hostage... This will completely violate his original intention of bringing Tyrion today.

He wanted Tyrion to put his energy and effort into containing the crisis on the Eastern Front out of gratitude, not feel compelled to do his ass job.

The fact is that Iger has completely trusted Myrcella's reliability, but he couldn't pass his own test after all: he was timid and suspicious, and wanted to balance the power and influence of the military faction and the old aristocratic faction, he really couldn't stand it—— The arrangements were all well understood by a little Lannister, and gradually began to shift to the feeling that she was making them directly.

Myrcella, who received a clear reply, felt Iger's kindness and determination, and realized that he really wanted to leave Tyrion and herself. She turned her head thoughtfully, stared at the air without focus for a moment, and thought for a while, then When he looked up at Tyrion, his eyes had become firm and clear again.

Chapter 653 The So-called Destiny

"Uncle, I am grateful to my parents for bringing me into this wonderful world, and thank you for your love and care over the years... But I have my own ideas about where I want to go and how I want to live." She straightened and slender The waist, the rounded and delicate jaw line raised high, suddenly changed from a cute and soft girl to sharp edges and corners, "I will go with you, there are only a few ways out: either go back to Casterly Rock City to reunite with my mother, or stay by your side together Either find a well-to-do middle-class family, commit yourself to marry as an illegitimate daughter, and spend this life incognito.”

Myrcella's uncharacteristic tone and expression caught the attention of two men, one big and one small, in the room. They didn't interrupt, but turned their eyes to listen to the girl's speech.

"The first two options are called 'choices', but they are not realistic at all: a blonde girl of the exact age, who suddenly returns to Casterly Rock or appears next to you, Lord Lannister, even if everyone who recognizes me loves me I don’t know how to spread rumors... But those who don’t know and love me, as long as they have eyes, how many of them will not be able to guess what’s going on? In the western region, on the territory of the Lannister family, Maybe no one dares to bully me, but—for reasons you must understand, uncle, I don’t want to stay with my mother; I live with you...I know that my uncle will take care of me and love me, but the eyes and eyes of the people around me Gossip, and how the queen who has heard the news will think of you and me, who can tell and bear it? I can't accept my weakness of becoming an uncle, a threat to the family!" She sniffled, afraid of being interrupted , the speed of speech could not help speeding up, "As for the last choice, if I am willing to accept it, why did I beg Lord Iger to take me away from the northern border three months ago, instead of staying there as 'Mrs. Maeve Horwood'? At least The 'fiancé' Lawrence arranged for me by Mrs. Caitlin, I have heard a little about his character and appearance, so it is not unacceptable."

Without pausing to wait for Tyrion to speak to persuade, Myrcella immediately turned her face to Egger again.

"My lord, you said this shouldn't be my fate." She choked up a bit, and suddenly two tears welled up from the corners of her eyes, her words were almost difficult to continue coherently, and she almost struggled to speak with all her strength. "I thank you for thinking about... me, but the fact is, what is the difference between saying this and not saying...?" The door of emotional catharsis slowly opened, and countless grievances poured out, "My fate shouldn't be So, isn’t it already like this? You drove me away on the grounds that my fate shouldn’t be like this, don’t you realize that you’re taking it for granted—you’re controlling me in a self-righteous and good way fate? If you and uncle really cared about my feelings, you should even discuss with me about whether to stay or not, and let me decide! Instead of just showing up suddenly without saying hello like today Come, plan to hand me over again!"

***

Myrcella knew very well in her heart why Iger didn't discuss it with her, and she also knew that her accusation was not only unreasonable but also too straightforward, but she had to do so.

As a girl, she really doesn't have much capital to fight against fate in this cold and cruel patriarchal world.

Lord Iger and Uncle Tyrion, one is the commander-in-chief of the Night Watch and the Hand of the Queen, the other is the lord of Casterly Rock and the Chancellor of the Exchequer... Considering that the Queen's army commander and garrison commander-in-chief "Grey Worm" is an Unsullied , are not counted as able-bodied people—these two in front of them are the most powerful and the second most powerful men in the Seven Kingdoms at this moment.They all have the status and status of being able to ignore their own thoughts and wishes without blinking an eye, and all of them have the energy and means to arbitrarily manipulate their own destiny based on their personal preferences and narrow views.

The only thing to be thankful for is probably these two people: one is a blood relative who has been reunited for a long time and loves him deeply, and the other is an acquaintance who has a good impression of him and a boss who has served-and they are not pedantic and rigid traditional people.

If in front of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, she can't bravely stand up and confess her heart, and try her best to fight for the life she wants, then her fate will really be...

That's all!

***

He had never seen Myrcella look so menacing and aggressive. Tyrion raised his brows, realizing that the trauma and influence that the past few years had brought to the child was beyond expectations.

"So, kid... you mean, you plan to choose the fourth way: stay here instead of following me?" He didn't pretend to be stupid, but was really confused, "I don't really understand, what's the point of this?" Is there a difference?"

Uncle Tyrion is not a stubborn, paranoid, self-willed grandfather, nor is he a mother with extreme thinking and will go to the dark at every turn—as long as he can give reasons, he may be persuaded, but the premise is that these reasons must be very It should be solid and irrefutable.

"Bang", "Bang", "Bang"...

She's contradicting the first and second most powerful men in Westeros at the same time!

Myrcella felt her little heart beating in her chest as if it was about to pop out, streams of hot blood were violently pumped to the head, face and limbs, the whole mind and body seemed to be activated in hidden mode at this moment, for Another soul in the depths of the mind grabs control.

She realized that what she was going to say next... Although the convincing power would be incredible, but at the same time, from a secular point of view, it was also extremely rebellious, and full of offensive and thought-provoking dangerous tendencies that might lead to suspicion and defense, She will tear off the "innocence and simplicity" coat she used to protect herself, exposing the not pure and innocent truth underneath.

However, in order to no longer be like a piece of duckweed drifting with the rivers and rivers, and make a small change in the direction of fate that is difficult to decide independently, this adventure will be completely worth it!

"A sense of control and security, Uncle."

Myrcella only felt her consciousness come out of her body, floating in the air and looking down at that strange self—speaking the truth that she would never dare to say in normal times.

"After Uncle James fought a duel with his father and broke out of King's Landing, I experienced house arrest in Maigor's Mansion in the Red Castle, reversed cars, changed boats, hurried on the road, and raised a daughter in Winterfell under strict surveillance. The feeling of being tightly locked in a room, in a cabin of a car and a boat... Not only is it hard to see the sun, but also completely unaware of what is happening in the outside world, and even the feeling of not knowing whether what is waiting for you is life or death, it really left me A painful memory that goes deep into the bone marrow."

"When I lived in Winterfell, Mrs. Stark, Arya, Sansa and others were very friendly and gentle to me. I could also go in and out of the room at will. I could look at the sky when I wanted to, and bask in the sun when I wanted to. I can’t say with conscience that I don’t see the light of day. But regarding the changes that are taking place in the world and the control over the contents of these changes that may be relevant to me, I am still no different from knowing nothing. Although the human body seems to be free, in the The residence is located in the heart of the northern border, surrounded by wilderness in all directions, but in fact, it is just imprisoned in a huge natural cage called the North of the Neck, with the Benlang flag hanging - like a domesticated pet , have no control and certainty about their own destiny, so they can only try their best to wag their tails called 'behaved' and 'sensible', and win the favor of every soldier and servant from Catelyn Stark to the servants in the Northern Territory. Convenience and benefits!"

Don't say that outsiders will think she has no conscience after hearing these words, even she herself has tasted a taste of heartlessness.

However, once the words in the heart are spoken out bravely, the world suddenly becomes enlightened.

Tears had already flowed down the corners of her eyes and her face, and she was speaking so fast that she seemed unable to stop the car, but mentally, she seemed to have broken through a bottleneck. Not only was she no longer nervous and afraid, but even her stuttering and choking disappeared. trace.

"But all of this has been completely reversed in the past two months. Following Lord Iger, not only do I no longer have to worry about being scorned and bullied, but I can also learn about what is happening in the Seven Kingdoms and even the entire known world every day. important news and events, and even participate in the formulation and discussion of the queen's strategies and strategies! Although I understand that all of this is just borrowing Lord Iger's power and influence, it is not my own thing, but this kind of Being close to the core of power, being able to know everything and influence the illusion of grasping everything really gave me a great sense of control and security!"

This is not "taking control of her own destiny", she actually knows it very well in her heart, but in any other place, she needs to please everyone around her and even the whole world indiscriminately to be at ease. Only by Iger's side, she is the "queen" As an assistant and confidant of the Hand of the Hand", apart from trying hard to win his favor and trust, she no longer has to worry about any kind of harm from the outside world and others... because she knows: as long as she hides under the wings of this man, he will be huge and powerful The wings will be like a steel plate, firmly blocking all malice and harm.

Myrcella wiped away the teardrops on her cheeks, and tried her best to appear firm and confident: "And this sense of security, uncle, please forgive my directness—my biological parents failed to give it to me. Neither did my grandpa, who is so powerful in the government and the opposition, nor Mrs. Stark, who took good care of me and protected me... And you, even if you are the Lord of Casterly Rock and the Minister of Finance, you can't give it to me! Even if this feeling is just Void phantom, a dream, I am also willing to stay with Lord Iger to pursue it!"

She took a deep breath and said the last sentence: "If you really love me, please act as if Myrcella Lannister is dead, and from then on there is only one girl named Maeve Snow in the world who pleases you deeply and makes you I am willing to visit the Queen's Hand from time to time... This way I am also happy, and you are not threatened. It is a good choice for everyone, why not do it?!"

……

My own niece, who disliked that she was not powerful enough, said that she could not gain a sense of security from herself, and instead wanted to live with another man who had no relationship with her and could not possibly marry her?

For any man, this would probably be a blow to his self-esteem. If he was an irritable and unreasonable bastard, he might have a powerless rage and forcefully drag the girl away and send her back to the family fief.Fortunately, Tyrion, as a little devil, is a born dwarf, without such a strong self-awareness and bad habits that cannot be suppressed.

He stared deeply at Myrcella for a moment, convinced that it was her true thoughts and not what he said under coercion, then suppressed his unwillingness and sadness, held the girl's hand, and under her expectant and nervous eyes, He looked at his friend with apologetic eyes.

"Iger, I know this is an excessive and embarrassing request for you. If you refuse, I will not blame or hold grudges against you at all."

Before she had time to cheer in her heart, Myrcella turned to Iger, staring at him with pleading eyes.

She understands her uncle's temper, and she is not surprised by Tyrion's pampering love, but she has only stayed with Iger for dozens of days, and she dare not say that she understands this unpredictable man who is both like a knight and a devil. Savior.What's worse: if my uncle doesn't agree to her request, I can at least complain about him in the later years, and if Iger shakes his head, I can't do anything except do some self-destructive stupid things to disgust him But what a half.

Being stared at by such an angelic little girl will undoubtedly cause discomfort, Iger can only look away and pretend not to see.

Not at all blaming or holding a grudge against yourself?

Iger believed that Tyrion could do it, but unhappiness and a drop in enthusiasm for work were absolutely unavoidable.

Things were a little bit different from what he had expected. He had thought that Myrcella would pretend to be reluctant to escape from this terrible murderer and return to her family happily. Who would have thought that this cute little bird... would actually make a generous speech. Finally, said that staying by your side feels safe?

Did Myrcella fall into Stockholm Syndrome due to her unconscious PUA, and she became dependent on him, or was she really traumatized so badly that she had to cling to the concept of "power"? Only an illusory thing can obtain distorted peace of mind?

Iger can't figure it out for the time being, but he will have time to figure it out slowly in the future.

But at this moment, what he knew clearly was that the idea of ​​making Tyrion owe him a favor had succeeded by coincidence.

"Since you say that, can I really not give face?" Iger shrugged with a slight reluctance in half-truth, "Then let her stay by my side for a while, whenever she wants If you want to leave after clearing it, I will give you blessings and return it to you."

Tyrion opened his mouth, and was about to thank him politely, but the girl rushed forward and hugged him tightly. The strength of a little girl was so strong that he was a little out of breath.

"Thank you uncle!"

Myrcella's move was not only out of gratitude and excitement, but more because: the words just now almost exhausted all the courage and guts accumulated in the 15 years since her breathing and heartbeat began, and now she only feels that her soul has returned to her. In the torso, the body seems to be drained and hollowed out, and there is no strength to lift it up. He has to rely on his uncle to stabilize his body with his support, so as not to collapse and sit on the ground.

Chapter 654 Familiar Recipes

A drizzle of rain passed through the border, and the sun shone on the earth through the dark clouds, quickly dispelling the fog covering the distant horizon.The breeze blew the new shoots on the treetops, and the birds began to sing again. A slim girl approached the window, but she didn't stop to admire the spring outside the window. Close it, shutting out the chirping and rustling of the recovery of all things from the room.

Margaery Ti—no, it should be said that Queen Margaery Targaryen's personal maid closed the window, turned back to stand behind her master, and continued to attend the meeting.

This is the largest hall in Highgarden, and it is crowded with nobles from all directions at the moment: golden trees, vines, bow hunters, apples of various colors, and honeycombs...everything that is a little famous and recognizable, a normal river bend Almost all the coats of arms that people can name can be seen in this room.

So many lords came together for a reason: After a month of struggle and hard work, all efforts by the Riverbend Group to "end the war"—or to put it bluntly, "to make peace with the Dragon Queen" ended in failure. Our favorite partner, the current Hand of the Queen, and the famous commander-in-chief of the Night Watch Corps in the Seven Kingdoms, Igger West, has led the army from the camp on the outskirts of King's Landing a few days ago, and marched westward along the Rose Avenue Advance, at this moment has crossed the border and officially stepped into the river bend, and came straight to everyone present.

If the atmosphere in the room is substantively dignified, apart from the practical reason of "facing the most powerful and malicious enemy since Aegon's conquest", there is another thing that intensifies everyone's tension: the rich man in the river bend, The lord of Old Town—it is said that the amount of property is not lower than that of the Lannister family, and he protects the Academy and the Holy See. The actual influence hides that the Hightower family, who is at the head of the lord, was absent for no reason. Not only did they not send follow-up troops to participate in the assembly of High Court, Even the small symbolic cavalry sent to surround King's Landing were called back, and they publicly disliked the war against the Queen!

If you don't like it, don't look at it, the river bend is full of powerful people, except for the Hightower family, everyone who should come, the most important thing at the moment is soldiers and food, the absence of this mere family who is not good at fighting will have a huge impact on the overall military strength It can be said that it has nothing to do with the overall situation. However, Meng En IX, the last head of the gardener family and the king of the river 300 years ago, said that it was a coincidence. No one in the Seven Kingdoms knew or felt the pain of the outcome of the war better than the people of the River Bend.

This time, the enemy is still Targaryen with dragons, and the Hightower family refuses to participate in the battle on our side... The familiar formula, the familiar smell, this omen is so bad that everyone feels their scalps go numb and their backs feel chills. up.

Regarding this, Margaery, like everyone else present, could only secretly clenched their fists in the audience: No matter how fierce the enemy is, at the moment of life and death, they can't turn around and go back to teach the arrogant Hai a lesson. Tal's house.But, looking at the good side, while being slapped and betrayed, an excellent opportunity to rejuvenate and expand the power of the family is also before them: the Hightower family has a long history and deep-rooted power in the river bend, and has always been The Tyrell family is in serious trouble, but this time they don't have the sense of kinship and the unity that the descendants of green hands should have. Thunderfury did not encounter resistance and opposition, and successfully added its tentacles and influence to the Mead River and Whispering Bay area where Old Town is located.

A cough gathered everyone's attention. On the wooden platform at the front, under the green field golden rose and the three red dragons hanging high on the wall, the leader of the younger generation of the Tyrell family: Margaery's brother Luo Lars Tyrell, began to introduce the latest situation and battle situation to the assembled nobles.

"From the information sent back by spies and informants, Iger's Western Expeditionary Army obviously carried enough gunpowder weapons for large-scale decisive battles. With this kind of subversive and weird equipment to support the field, any hasty battle with insufficient preparation will be death. The front-line troops were ordered, and most of them took the initiative to retreat to avoid their sharp edge. At the same time, they sent cavalry scouts to continuously approach and investigate and harass... Try to achieve two goals: to seduce the Western Expeditionary Army to send limited cavalry to expel our scouts, and then rely on local land rights and the number of cavalry Set up an ambush with superiority, constantly cut off small groups of enemy troops, frustrate their determination and hurt their vitality; at the same time, find out the route and law of the opponent's logistics supply, and try to cut off their supply line after they penetrate into our river bend, so that they can fight without fighting after they run out of food. defeat--"

"It's a beautiful idea. So far, has this plan worked?"

A yin and yang voice came from the front row. The speaker was Harry Strickland, the head of the Golden Regiment. He was "bombed" by the queen riding a dragon in the Battle of the Blackwater River that day. Although he was not directly hit by the bomb, he was swept away. The double damage from air waves and fragments, his head was bleeding and he fell into a coma on the spot, making the soldiers below mistakenly think he was dead, which turned an evenly matched confrontation into a big rout.

In the process of covering the retreat of the Hewan army with their luggage, the Golden Regiment at the rear suffered huge casualties and wasted. Negotiating peace with Daenerys caused the treatment of the Golden Group as an elite guest army to be so bad that they even had to ask their grandparents to ask their grandma to raise food... until King's Landing rejected Hewan's overtures with harsh conditions. Strickland, who had been left out in the cold, was invited back to become a guest of honor. If it was cold and hot, it would be strange for him to be angry because his injuries had not yet healed.

"Unfortunately, not yet." Loras Tyrell pretended not to hear the sarcasm in Strickland's words, and shook his head calmly, "So far, the Queen's Western Expeditionary Army has not penetrated far enough into the river bend, and the supply line is stretched. Still not long enough to take advantage of; on the other hand, the army itself, although numbering about [-], was tightly packed, and the distance between each department was never more than an hour away. Even the scouts and forward scouts scattered, The number of frequencies is only maintained at the level that can ensure that there will be no sneak attack... neither to expel our investigators desperately, nor to chase after the bait released by our side, the marching rhythm is stable, and we must stop before sunset every day And get on the defensive. If I had to describe it, it would be—"

"A hedgehog with delusions of persecution may seem ridiculous, but it is impossible to say anything. It is the most difficult opponent to deal with. This battle is not easy to fight." The prime minister who also sat in the front row and accompanied King Aegon Jon Clinton interjected and added, "The disgusting thing is that the food, grass and armaments used by this army for maintenance and deployment are likely to come from the captures left by the Riverbend Army when they retreated in a hurry on the south bank of the Blackwater River that day. Listen to my words and resolutely destroy the luggage and retreat lightly, the enemy will never be able to reorganize the crusade against the river bend so quickly!"

It was not Clinton's original intention to smash the field, but his words still immediately aroused echoes and commotions. A month ago, the wedding of Margaery and Aegon on the Blackwater River was bombarded and had to be suspended. The question of "going away" has caused disputes, but in the end, the nobles of the River Bend, who were reluctant to part with their possessions, overwhelmed the generals of the Golden Army and Prince Aegon's staff who only cared about eating but not paying... Who would have thought that it would cause a series of disputes in the future? Bad consequences.Today, Clinton brought up the old story again. How can those who consciously take it for granted after the fact let go of this topic?

Seeing that the elder brother on the stage couldn't control the scene, and a boring argument was about to intensify, Margery, feeling tense, quickly reached out her hand quietly, and gently scraped her husband's leg beside her.

Chapter 655 "Curse"

Margaery felt that she had been cursed, and the name of the curse was: everything that has anything to do with marriage must not go well.

Initially, the family struggled to fight for his marriage with Joffrey Baratheon, and it could be explained that King Robert was determined not to let the Tyrell family become foreign relatives, which is understandable;

Later, the King's Landing note incident triggered the Alliance of the Righteous in the Valley rebellion. She took advantage of the fact that the princes of the six countries gathered at the Blood Gate to recommend herself to the Snatcher as a lover. She was persuaded to go to the Stark family, but she never thought of Robb. It was an accident that she fell in love with Roslin Foyle first;

Immediately afterwards, the scandal of the Lannister family's golden siblings led to drastic changes in King's Landing. After Robert's death, Riverbend plucked up the courage to elect Renly as king, and Margaery was successfully promoted to queen and entered the Red Keep... everything It was so beautiful that it seemed like a dream, but who would have thought that the dream would turn into a nightmare in the next second—before consummating the marriage and leaving an heir, the husband died under the poison of black magic, which made her bear the notoriety of being a widow and Kefu for no reason. It also caused the entire river bend to become rebellious, and the situation was embarrassing;

Finally, the Tyrell family, who had gone through all kinds of hardships, seized the life-saving straw that appeared out of nowhere, little Aegon. After twists and turns of negotiations, compromises, and unexpected surprises such as the breakup of the two dragons, they regained their qualifications for the next position, and even thought about the good— ——The husband's surname that can be crowned this time is more ancient and noble, and even the legal system is more upright than Baratheon.

The results of it?
