Chapter 115 Recognizing the Northern Nobles

Arya flashed in cleverly, then closed the door gently and crossed the deadbolt.

By the dim light of the candle in her hand, Sansa recognized Arthur Bracken covering her mouth.

How could this person appear here?

Sansa was puzzled.

Arya whispered, "It's me, sister, do you recognize me?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Sansa suddenly realized that the "little boy" who came in behind was actually her sister.

Because Arthur covered her mouth, she couldn't make a sound, so she could only nod to show recognition.

Bracken warned in a low voice: "Your sister and I are here to rescue you, after I let go, you must not scream, understand?"

Sansa nodded, and Arthur let go.

"Arya, why are you..."

Before Sansa could finish her words of concern in her reproach, Arya had already jumped on her.

The two sisters, one tall and one short, embraced tightly, expressing their missing in the past few months with their movements.

Arthur noticed that there were two lines of tears in the corners of Sansa's eyes.

Although he couldn't see the face of Arya who was being hugged, he thought that his younger sister was the same as his older sister.

In the past few months, the two of them fell from the prime minister's daughter to the quagmire. One lived in the Red Castle in fear, enduring Joffrey's insults and the ridicule of the royal nobles every day; the other pretended to be a boy and followed a group of adults The lords left King's Landing to go north, and then Yoren, the night watchman who protected her, was also killed by the gold robe. Since then, one meal has no next meal, and life is tense.

After a long time, the two sisters separated and whispered about their experiences.

Arthur felt that now was not the time to engage in these things, so he reminded him aloud:
"Miss Stark, should we leave?"

Right now is the middle of the night, a good time to escape.

If I waited a little longer and let the servants who got up early to wait for the gold robes and the knights to get up, wash and dress, they would not be able to get away.

Sansa nodded. "I need to pack my things."

This is acceptable.

After Sansa changed into the long skirt she wears every day, the two sisters worked together and began to help clean up Sansa's clothes, hair ties, accessories and other sundries.

Of course, there is also the puppet doll that Duke Ed made for Sansa.

Packed a lot of stuff, and finally wrapped it up with a sheet.

Arya let Arthur carry her without any surprise, and the three of them were ready to set off.

Dengdengdeng.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the room, which made them nervous.

"Sansa, what the hell are you doing? Are you changing the sheets, open the door quickly." The person outside the door shouted.

As Sansa was old enough to be a great aunt, the old maid who watched over her was very careful about it, and this person checked the sheets two or three times a day.

Arthur put the package on the ground silently, walked to the door lightly, drew out the one-and-a-half sword on his waist, and motioned for Sansa to open the door normally.

Shanshan understood, and pretended to complain: "I just got thirsty and drank some water, you interrupted my rest."

Then she walked slowly to the door and drew the deadbolt.

The old maid was very rude to the ex-prime minister's daughter because she relied on the Queen Mother's power.She pushed open the door and was about to reprimand her, but she felt a chill on her neck.

To make matters worse, a big, powerful hand blocked her mouth about to scream.

Arthur looked at Sansa and asked, "Will you kill me or not?"

The old maid just ran into them, and there was nothing extremely evil, so she would not kill if she could.

Sansa looked at this maid who was usually very unfriendly to her. Although she wanted Arthur to kill her to vent her anger, she still couldn't harden her heart.

Shaking her head, the young lady of the Stark family whispered, "Just don't let her affect our actions."

The old maid also calmed down and nodded desperately, indicating that she would be obedient.

Arthur was straightforward, knocked her on the head with the hilt of his sword, knocked the person unconscious, then tied her hands behind the back with the handkerchief hanging around her waist, and stuffed her mouth with the old maid's stinky socks and dragged her under the bed.

After carrying the big package, the three left quickly.

There were no surprises along the way.

Under the cover of night, after avoiding a round of golden robes, they re-entered the ground from near the throne room, and then walked to the sewer after reaching the black well.

After passing through layers of stone corridors, wooden spiral staircases, and natural stone caves again, they finally smelled the stench of smoky nose.

"Is this the toilet?" Sansa, whose eyes were darkened, was holding one hand by her younger sister and pinching her nose with the other hand.

Although the smell of King's Landing City can be smelled in the Red Castle, it is acceptable and does not affect life.

But the smell in front of the nose is afraid that it can suffocate people to death.

If it weren't for her sister and outsiders, Sansa thought she would faint under the smell.

"Almost, a certain sewer in the Red Castle is connected to the Blackwater River." Arya replied.

Sansa was a little worried: "Doesn't that mean my skirt will be dirty, I only have one or two skirts that I can wear."

It was getting cooler, and no one cared if she had thicker dresses since her father died.

So she can only worry about these things by herself.

Arya, who was at the front, began to dislike her sister again, "What time is it, you still care about a dress, and after you escape and go home, you can sew as many dresses as you want."

They've reached the point where they have to wade through stinking water to move forward.

Sansa was a little silent. Septa Mordane, who had taught her to sew, had been killed by the red robes of the House of Lions.

After flexibly tying the backpack into a firm knot, Arthur first went down the stinky ditch, and then said: "It's okay, if you don't mind, I can carry you through this stinky ditch."

Arya turned her head and rolled her eyes at Arthur, "You will be courteous."

Sansa recalled her father's previous judgment that this person was "worthy of dating" and agreed to the proposal.

So Arthur, who was carrying the package, wrapped his right hand around his leg, and his left hand went around his shoulder blade, reaching to Sansa's left armpit, and hugged her.

Miss Stark, who was considerate of Arthur's weight, wrapped his arms around his neck to make it easier for him to walk.

The three began to advance again, only this time Arya was last.

If the light was brighter, the two people in front would definitely be able to see the contempt in her eyes.

Just a little smelly water, as for that?

After walking for a long time, the three of them finally reached the confluence of the Heishui River and the Smelly Ditch.

It was almost dawn, and the three of them hurried to the beach beside them.

After Arthur put Sansa down, he discussed with the two Starks.

"You must go to the coalition camp first, and then you can arrange the next step. Now there is a question, are you willing to disclose your identity? There are [-] Stark infantry in the coalition army, and a large number of Stark soldiers who are loyal to Stark The family’s northern nobles and knights should have no problem with safety.”

Sansa glanced at her younger sister, "I heard that the Marquis of Bolton is in command of the coalition forces, so let's disclose our identities."

If the former king Robert hadn't gone north, Sansa's marriage partner would be Roose Bolton's legitimate son Domeric, so she still has a good impression of the Marquess of Bolton.

"I can't trust Lord Leech." Arya not only loves adventure, but also likes to inquire about the anecdotes of those powerful warriors, and she even knows the house governors of some big families very well.

Regardless of the act of sucking one's own blood with leeches, the long-standing saying of the Bolton family, "A man with a naked body has few secrets, but a man with a skinned body has no secrets" is enough to make people scared.

The two sisters discussed for a while, and decided to let Sansa reveal her identity, and Arya continued to hide under the name "Ally".

That's okay, it's like putting your eggs in two baskets.

Among the four major families in the north, the Dustin family only sent a small amount of troops to the south, and Mandalay in White Harbor only sent [-] infantry and [-] cavalry to join.

The other two, the Stark and Bolton families, basically went south with their entire army.

But considering that there are a large number of second-tier northern nobles loyal to the wolf family in the coalition army, once the identity is revealed, Lord Leech will serve Sansa well instead.

Because Stark's appeal is much stronger than that of a Bolton, it is not impossible for Sansa to abolish Bolton's commander-in-chief even if she joins the northern nobles.

While the two were discussing, Arthur also explained to them that Roose Bolton would send Stark soldiers and loyal wolf families to take the lead in every battle.

Because the land is vast and sparsely populated, there are not many opportunities for people in the northern border to communicate with each other, so they are basically very honest.

The northern nobles and soldiers did not discount what the commander asked them to do.

This is why in the original plot, Roose Bolton was able to send away the soldiers of the pro-wolf family, but his family retained most of their troops.

"I will tell the Marquis Bolton about this matter. When the city of King's Landing is attacked, let the Bolton family take the first credit."

Although Sansa is a little innocent now, she is not stupid.

Let Stark soldiers take the lead all the time, isn't this draining her family's strength?
After deciding on the big and small things, Arthur gave Sansa his black robe and hood.

Just in case, until Robert Glover, Earl Meggie Seven, Earl Herman Tallhart and other nobles or heirs of the Northern Earls have not met Sansa, her identity must be kept secret.

While the sky was still not completely bright, the three of them walked towards the camp on the west side of King's Landing City at high speed. On the way, they naturally encountered Stark soldiers blocking the Mud Gate. Arthur ordered them to cheer up and leave.

Anyway, this morning, Sansa will be able to recognize the northern nobles, so there is no need to hide her whereabouts.

Walking quickly all the way to his own camp, Arthur asked Arya to hide behind the tent area of ​​the Qohor mercenaries, and asked his servant Medan to call Patrick and Raymond who were still sleeping.

Among the nobles in the river land, more than a dozen of the Frey family were looked down upon by the northerners, and only these two were able to get along well with the northern nobles.

It's just right for them to call the nobles of the North to meet Sansa.

It's impossible to go to Bolton's big tent, maybe the old boy is doing something wrong.

A yawning Patrick asked, "Why are you up so early?"

He didn't even notice the man in black robe standing behind Arthur.

The mature Raymond noticed it, but didn't ask aloud.

"Be sober, I need your help. You go to the camp of the northerners and call..." Arthur assigned the task to them.

After hearing it clearly, although the two were puzzled why Arthur did this, they still went out to call for someone.

Sansa took the opportunity to take off her black robe and hood, and tidied her hair and skirt.

Not long after, Robert Glover's voice sounded outside the tent, "Arthur, what are you doing? I'm very busy today. The trees along the Blackwater River are almost cut down. I have to take people farther. place to chop wood.”

He came in with Earl Mitch next to him, and then found the red-haired woman in the tent.

"Who is this?" Robert felt that this hair color was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

Since the castle was very close to Winterfell, Mitch Seven immediately recognized the red-haired woman as the sister of their King of the North, Sansa Stark.

"My lady, I can't even imagine how you came here during this time. More than 2 of us went south to rescue you and your sister. Now that you return to the people of the northern border, you will never suffer any more." grievance."

Earl Mitch was known for his kind words. When he saw Sansa who was still wearing a summer dress, he had already guessed her living conditions in the Red Castle, so he hurriedly began to comfort her.

Sansa also has a good impression of this person. Meggie Seven always wants to marry her daughter to her brother Robb, so she often runs to Winterfell.

"I am very grateful to Lord Seven for everything he has done for me and for the Stark family..."

During this period of time in the Red Castle, Sansa learned most of all kinds of clichés. Although she was also very moved, she still used clichés to respond habitually.

Robert also understood Sansa's identity, so he also began to comfort Miss Stark.

Next, a large number of northern nobles came one after another, such as Harion of the Karstark family, Harris, Earl of Hornwood, Willis, the eldest son of the Manderly family, and so on.

Of course, it was impossible for Roose Bolton to come. As the commander-in-chief of the first army, Patrick and Raymond couldn't call him.

After everyone in the northern border recognized Sansa, they embraced her and headed to the central army camp.

With Stark, the northerners can be said to have a backbone, and their morale has become high.

……

"My lord, it is said that Miss Sansa Stark has escaped from the Red Keep, and is now surrounded by your lords, walking towards here."

It was still the Bolton agent who was so ordinary in appearance that he couldn't be found in the crowd.

He ran to his lord's tent and reported in advance.

Master Leech was washing up, and upon hearing this, he spat out all the salt water in his mouth.

"How did she escape? In the Stark camp first?"

The spy replied: "It's Arthur Bracken's camp. She appeared there first. After Arthur called the northern nobles, they moved forward here."

This bit of information was enough for Lord Leech to react.

Sansa didn't come to meet the commander-in-chief of the coalition army first, obviously because she couldn't trust herself.

Although the northern nobles were slow to turn their brains, they could always react and figure it out.

This is a bit detrimental to his position in the coalition army.

The Marquis of Bolton settled down, isn't she just a little girl, I don't believe I can't play with her.

"Call the guards, and I will meet Miss Sansa myself."

He gave instructions to the soldiers standing in the tent.

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket and ask for a monthly ticket.
