Chapter 141 The Horn
Crunch, crunch!
Bloodwind carried Robb on his back and stepped lightly into the Winterfell school grounds. Behind them, Gendry and the Winterfell light cavalry escorted four prison wagons covered in furs.

"His Majesty!"

Sam, the intelligence chief of the North, was waiting quietly wearing a red mask.As soon as he saw Robb approaching, he immediately knelt down on one knee to salute with a respectful expression.

Snapped!
Robb jumped off Bloodwind, stepped forward to help Sam up, gave him a big bear hug, and said, "Sam, long time no see! When did you return to Winterfell? By the way , your intelligence system has done a very good job, and the southward war went so smoothly, a large part of it is your credit!"

"Your Majesty, long time no see, and we have just returned to Winterfell. It is my honor to be recognized by you!"

Hearing Robb's praise, Sam replied very modestly in his hoarse voice.

Robb let go of Sam in his arms, looked at the red mask on his face, and asked softly: "During the time I went back to the north, I always heard people mention the blood-faced Lord of the Dreadfort. Sam, the wound on your face ..."

Hearing this, Sam raised his hand to take off his red mask, and replied to Robb: "Thank you for your concern, a few months ago, when my injury was just showing signs of infection, the bachelor of Dreadfort helped me cut off the flesh.

Now fully recovered, wearing a mask because I was afraid to scare other people. "

Sam, who took off the mask, had flesh-red distorted scars all over his face.These scars are all raised and thickened, like strips of fat loach.

On both sides of the raised scar, there are also very obvious red spots, making Sam's whole face look not human at all, but like a terrifying mutant in a previous life movie.

To be honest, looking at Sam's current appearance, Robb only remembered his original appearance in his mind.This boy of the same age as him has indeed experienced too much in the past six months or so.

From the very beginning, all his relatives were robbed and killed, and because of the tasks he had arranged for him, he had turned into this terrifying appearance.Robb couldn't help feeling a little guilty in his heart.

"Your Majesty, ever since Osha sent me a letter, I took the soldiers of the Dreadfort and followed them quietly.

On their way to the Great Wall, they met two siblings of the Li De family.After that, no one else came into contact with them.

I saw that they had already arrived at the Great Wall, so I brought people to show up, trying to bring them back to Winterfell by force.

Hmm... your brother's direwolf attacked while we were at it.After losing several soldiers, we had to shoot the direwolf in the hind legs.

On the way back, Master Brandon was in a strange mood.Lady Caitlin was with him now. "

Seeing the guilty expression on Robb's face, Sam immediately put on the red mask again, and began to change the topic to the business.

"Well, there is nothing wrong with Ni's handling, and the soldiers will be given pensions as if they died in battle.

Sam, I will keep your credit in my heart. Think about what you want and tell me when the time comes. I will try my best to satisfy you. "

"No... obey, Your Majesty."

Sam wanted to shake his head and refuse, but seeing Robb's guilty expression just now, he immediately changed his mind and agreed.Then, he seemed to think of something, and then said,
"By the way, Your Majesty. Ramsay Bolton did not return to the Dreadfort, but followed King Theon to the Iron Islands."

"Hey, all the recruits he managed to gather were killed this time. The Dreadfort is under your firm control again. He wants to open up a new situation in the Iron Islands!

I'll write to Theon later to tell him to keep a close eye on Ramsay. "

Robb chuckled, and immediately explained the intention of Ramsay's move.

"Your Majesty, there is a letter from Riverrun just received!"

While Robb was talking to Sam, Maester Luwin hurried into the school grounds, saying loudly when he saw Robb.

"Thank you!"

Robb thanked him, took the letter from Maester Luwin, and read it directly.

Seeing Robb's frown gradually, Sam asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, has something happened to Riverrun?"

"Riverrun City is fine. The strategic plan I arranged before has been successfully realized. It is King's Landing City, and Stannis has lost!"

Robb shook his head, put away the letter and replied.

"Huh? I heard that Tywin's army has been in Harrenhal. Stannis led an army of nearly [-], and lost to King's Landing, which only had a few thousand troops?"

"This is where Tywin is so powerful. He has long understood that his actions are the focus, so he has attracted everyone's attention to Harrenhal.

In addition to the thousands of guards in Junlin City.He also mobilized tens of thousands of cavalry who had returned to aid the western region for Casterly Rock City.Of course, relying on these forces alone, Tywin is not [-]% sure.

Therefore, he should have secretly made a deal with House Tyrell of Highgarden.

Let [-] Highgarden cavalry raid from the Rose Road at a critical moment and directly defeat Stannis. "

Hearing Sam's question, Robb showed a look of appreciation on his face, and praised Tywin.

"Secret deal? Highgarden cavalry?"

"Your Majesty, the transaction between the Lannister family and the Tyrell family should have been completed.

I also have a letter from King's Landing. The false king Joffrey sent a letter from King's Landing to all the lords, agreeing with the Kingdom of the Reach, the independence of Renly II, and now he has called himself the King of the Six Kingdoms. "

Master Luwin, standing aside, interjected at the right time, and took out another letter from his sleeve.

"Tsk tsk, resolutely give up a little nominal interest in order to obtain more actual benefits.

The letter stated that Stannis had left behind nearly [-] Stormland troops in King's Landing.If nothing else, the entire Stormlands will fall to the Lannister family. "

"Your Majesty, if the Lannisters really form an alliance with the Tyrells, they will form an overwhelming force."

Sam heard this, and said to Robb with some concern.

Robb shook his head after hearing his words, and replied very firmly: "From the time the Tyrell family supported Renly II, it was impossible for the two of them to form an alliance.

The Tyrell family sits in the fertile Reach, with fifty to sixty thousand Highgarden cavalry alone, and the famous Redwyne fleet in Westeros.

After supporting Renly II, they only resolved the internal conflicts in the Reach.It's just waiting for us and Tywin to consume each other's strength, and finally win the Iron Throne in one fell swoop.

This time, they obtained the name of the independence of the Riverbend Kingdom, and they could get rid of the Tyrell family's always-criticized title of gardener family steward.

Oh, none of these ancient nobles who like to play politics is simple! "

"Your Majesty, are you planning to recruit recruits to go south again when you return to the north this time? I can screen recruits in advance."

Sam, who is the head of intelligence, understood the current situation in the northern border after listening to Robb's explanation.So, he asked directly.

"You're right. I'm going to try out the new Northern Territory military promotion system and recruit recruits. However, there is no rush.

Sam, I want you to help me select thirteen loyal and happy family candidates from the Light Cavalry of Winterfell as soon as possible.I'm going to start building the Wolfguard again. "

Robb nodded to confirm Sam's thoughts, and then ordered him to do what he needed to do.

"Follow your orders, Your Majesty. This is a simple matter. I will sort out the list today and send it to you in the evening."

"Well, Sam, send the next four prisoners to Innerburg and take good care of them!
Well, I don't mean looking after the kind you learned in the Dreadfort.

Master Luwin, please get me some Myrish ointment. "

"Yes!"

Sam and Maester Luwin agreed, and went to do what Robb told them.Robb led Gendry into the inner castle and went to Brandon's room.

Brandon's room was on the third floor of the inner castle. When Robb pushed the door open, he found that Caitlin, Sansa, Daisy, Osha, Hodor and the two siblings of the Reed family were all there.

"His Majesty!"

"elder brother!"

"Robb! You're back!"

Robb nodded in response to the people who greeted him, and his eyes fell on Brandon on the bed.

I saw him staring blankly at the ceiling, with a stiff expression like a wooden man.He was muttering something in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, please let us go to the north of the Great Wall. A great disaster is brewing, and time is running out. We must know how to save the North, how to save Westeros!"

Jojen Reed, who was short and thin, with a handsome face, begged Robb eagerly with a voice like a magic stick.

"Well, I see. The last time you dreamed, what kind of scene did you dream about?"

"You know my dream? I've been dreaming recently about a man with a red mask coming to arrest us.

So, we kept on detours.But there were too many of them, plus she kept leaving marks. "

Hearing Robb's inquiry, Jojen told the truth about his dream with some doubts, and at the end, he pointed to Osha beside him.

"Didn't you dream of a crow with three eyes?"

When Robb heard his words, he nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask.

"Three-eyed crow!"

Before Jojen could answer, Brandon on the bed seemed to hear Robb's words.He who had been muttering in a low voice, yelled out loudly.

"Bran, calm down. Did you see it? What did it say to you?"

Hearing the sound, Robb rushed to Brandon's side and hugged him in a few steps. He patted Brandon's back and asked softly.

"I've got to go north...I've got to go north. Otherwise, everybody dies, everybody dies!"

Brandon's state today is completely different from the rational and indifferent state before. He was hugged by Robb, repeating these words endlessly.

"Okay, everyone get out! Let Brandon have a good rest. Daisy, you have brought Hodor with you recently, and no one can let him go without my order."

Robb slowly quieted Brandon and put him on the bed.Looking at Caitlin with tears in her eyes, she ordered.

"Yes!"

Robb knew that as long as Hodor had to be watched, it was impossible for the two Reed siblings to take Brandon away from Winterfell easily.

Since there were other matters, Robb didn't stay too long, and turned around and walked out of the room.Seeing this, Osha followed closely and followed him out of the room.

"Your Majesty, I have completed the transaction with you. Now, can I restore my freedom?"

Seeing Robb turn around, Osha quickly asked.

"Of course, from now on, you will be free. Whether you want to stay in Winterfell, or go back outside the Great Wall, it's up to you."

When Robb heard this, he nodded and fulfilled his promise to Osha.

"Hey, who wants to go back beyond the Great Wall? A good life like Winterfell is something I dream of."

"Well, I'll ask someone to arrange a job for you in Winterfell."

When Robb heard Osha's choice, he answered and turned around to leave.

But Osha behind him said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, your younger brother has some magical abilities. There are also savages outside the Great Wall. I think you can try to trust him.

After all, you have no idea what lies beyond the Great Wall. "

"Thank you for the advice. Believe me, there is something beyond the Great Wall. I definitely know better than anyone!"

……

Frostfang is a mountain beyond the Great Wall.Located in the northwest of the Shadow Tower and the Fist of the First Men, the jagged peaks are covered with snow all the year round, even though they are far away, they are still so huge, cold, lonely and desolate.

On a low peak covered with snow, a figure dressed in animal fur was running forward, as if being chased by something terrifying.

Ouch!
A black shadow quickly slid down the nearby mountain, directly hitting the running figure.The two immediately twisted into a ball.

Zheng!
The black shadow pulled out a sharp dagger from the back, and pressed it against the throat of the running figure.The two stopped immediately.

At this time, the running figure could be seen clearly, and she had a fair and delicate face, and fiery red fluffy hair.

"Jon Snow, the sun is going down. Don't find a safe place to spend the night.

We either freeze to death or join the ranks of the living dead. "

Ygritte smiled and said to Jon who was on top of him, completely ignoring the dagger at his throat.

"If you dare to escape again, I will let you join those dead people now."

Jon grinned and growled at the smiling Ygritte with a ferocious expression on his face.

"Hey, we both know you can't do it. So don't scare me like that."

"Humph!"

Jon didn't continue to answer, he took off a bundle of ropes around his waist, and after retying Ygritte, he took her to find a place to spend the night.

Before the sun went down completely, the two of Jon only found a low cave in the leeward wind. They had no choice but to spend the night here.

For fear of being too eye-catching, Jon didn't light a fire, and the two of them just lay quietly on the cold ground of this cave.

"Hey, Jon Snow, stay close to keep warm. Otherwise, you'll freeze to death before I do."

Ygritte suddenly broke the silence in the cave, and said to Jon who was far away from her.

Jon pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and silently approached Ygritte, hugging her tightly.

"Have you ever had a woman?"

Ygritte deliberately twisted her lower body a few times before asking.

"..."

Jon, who was already reticent, didn't want to answer her questions at all.

"You answer one of my questions, and I'll answer one of yours. How about it?"

"No, what are you doing in this snow mountain?"

Hearing Ygritte's proposal, Jon, who wanted to get information, thought about it and chose to answer.

"Hey, you won't believe it! We're looking for a horn, which is said to awaken giants from the ground. Unfortunately, we didn't find it after digging dozens of graves."
