Chapter 193 The Grace of the King
"Lord Chief Logistics Officer, I don't know if you agree or disagree. ." Renly Baratheon stared at Igor with a warm smile: "I have always believed that talent is the key to running a country. With the right people, running a country is as easy as eating. Unfortunately, my brother Robert seems to never realize this truth. , in his royal council, either a flattery, a rice bucket, or a conspirator with evil intentions, the only Guard Captain who can be regarded as loyal and wise, and he is also called 'the Barristan'... When I come to power, the imperial council and the Kingsguard, There must be a complete exchange of blood." As he said, he glanced tenderly at the Flower of Highgarden beside him, "My dear Queen Margaery, I have no doubt that you have a talent for running a country. Rainbow Seven The Guard is not yet full, and there will be a seat in the Royal Council when I sit on Iron Throne King's Landing Seven Kingdoms. When the time comes, I can order to remove you from your Night's Watch status - as long as your Excellency is willing to serve me , the three positions of Kingsguard, Master of Coin and Master of Laws, you can choose as you like, I don't know what your Excellency Chief Logistics Officer, what do you think?"

......

What the hell? Obviously oneself is this time Come to ask to be magnanimous, why did the topic suddenly develop in a strange direction? Igor opened his mouth and quickly reacted - the reputation of oneself is probably not limited to spread among the garrison and the common people. Now it seems that even the great nobles such as Renly and Margaery have been affected!

＊＊＊

The position of Kingsguard is obviously aimed at the name of oneself "Others Killer". Due to Robert's indulgence, the quality of this session of Kingsguard has declined. Descending, except for Barristan and James, the other five of the seven don't even have a well-known nickname... King Warrior is completely unaware: as the king's honor guard, sometimes deterrence is as important as strength.

Renly is obviously aware of this, and will hold a contest to select guards and take the initiative to recruit the famous Warrior.

Since Vale's counter-rebellion Oberyn gave oneself some face in front of a group of soldiers, the amazing rumors about oneself martial skill began to spread, and when oneself reported Slynt with real name, he was bought by the murderer and silenced. Killing several people without dying, and the ghoul entering the city at just the right time confirms the truth of the legend of beyond the wall... His impression of the "unpredictable" high-level officer of Night's Watch was almost solidified by the well-informed aristocrats. heart.

As for putting the Master of Coin position in the option, it is understandable - Renly and Margaery must think: since oneself can start a huge Night's Watch industry from scratch, then It's definitely not a problem to manage the larger industry of "Seven Kingdoms", anyway, they are responsible for finding money, who is not looking for it?
But...how on earth did Renly think that oneself is suitable to be the Master of Laws? Igor lifts the head, looked at the handsome man wearing a slender golden crown on the stage, a guess gradually emerged in my mind: Pfft - this guy, didn't he realize that he was fooled by oneself until now? .

oneself made some sophistry in the court that day with the phrase "permit if the law does not prohibit it", did the former Master of Laws, the self-proclaimed king of Stag Family's Old Third, think that oneself Have the ability to manage legal affairs?
In a backward world, the cost of acting cool is really low!
It is undeniable that the conditions given by Renly are quite tempting. If the proposer is changed to Stannis Baratheon, Igor may really consider it carefully.

Oneself has no experience as an official, and doing business is not the same as managing finances... But just choose the option of "Master of Laws", familiarize yourself with the work, and rely on the influence on the garrison. Strength, learning ability beyond ordinary people, and the word "serious" - nothing can be worse than an arm-flinging shopkeeper like Renly... If you can unsatisfiedly strive to take off the black clothed while still retaining the Night's The control power of the Watch industry is even more elated, so there is no reason to hesitate.

Unfortunately, even the little child understands: if he is determined to get rid of his neutrality and fall to one side, he must choose the side with greater hope of victory... And Igor, who has seen Melisandre's means, even if the king's When the throne is placed in front of him, he will never rashly oppose the existence of "Red God Priest" that oneself does not understand and does have powerful power.

Under the whispers of the two princes whispering in the tent all around Storm Reach, Igor, after considering his words, responded to Renly's olive branch: "Mr. Agreed. However... the overraised of 'the talent of governing the country' is really unreasonable. Managing logistics for the trifling Night's Watch Legion is quite handy, and as for the management of the Seven Kingdoms at the Imperial Council, I am afraid that I don't have the ability... Besides, even wearing Black clothed, you can still serve the adults. After all, no matter who sits on the Iron Throne, he needs Night's Watch to guard the northern border for him and resist the threat of the ghosts beyond the wall for the kingdom, right?"

......

"It's too impossible to tell good from bad."

"Your Majesty personally solicited, this bullshit Night's Watch, and it's still putting on airs?"

"People have this qualification, how is it like you, who only drink and eat meat and chop people!" Night's Watch only surprised everyone a little, that the target of the solicitation actually refused, which is really surprising. Renly just announced her coronation as king a few days ago, and she has just completed her status change. It is the time when she attaches the most importance to dignity and face. At this juncture, someone dares to don't give face in public... I really don't know what to say about this Night's Watch is bold or courageous.

Renly's expression didn't change at all, and he couldn't see the mental activity after the offer was rejected... Maybe he wasn't happy, but at least Igor couldn't tell from his face. That's the scary part of the smiling tiger: no matter how much Robert growls or smashes things, Igor won't really be scared, but Renly is clearly smiling, and his scalp is tingling.

"It's too early to discuss the governance of the Seven Kingdoms. It won't be too late to talk about the governance of the Seven Kingdoms. It won't be too late to talk about it after entering the capital." After all, the logistics officer still has such big family business in King's Landing. If everyone agrees to it, I'm afraid he will be gone when he returns to King's Landing home... Your Majesty might as well give him some time to think about it, maybe when you win King's Landing , he'll change his mind."

Igor raised his eyes to meet Margaery's, not knowing what to expect for a moment. Such a charming Little Rose can look up to oneself, and is willing to speak out at the most critical moment, oneself certainly has face. It's a pity that what she said was a hidden sword in a smile. She was obviously helping oneself, but in fact she didn't give any retreat...

Fame is really a double-edged sword, in addition to bringing convenience and influence , and trouble ensues.

"The Queen's words are reasonable." Renly regained his friendly enthusiasm in the blink of an eye, "I haven't won King's Landing yet, it's normal for the Chief Logistics Officer to have concerns, it's good to go back and think about it...you I have already agreed to the request. If there is nothing else, I will leave and return. My army will continue to King's Landing after breakfast. It is estimated that I will arrive at the city in three days and wait for me to sit on the Iron Throne. I hope you have already thought of the answer. ."

"Thank you, Lord Renly." Igor bowed to give a salute, and gave Margaery one last look: "I'm going to retire."

＊＊＊

Leaving Renly's barracks, Igor hurried back without stopping. Can Eddard Stark defend King's Landing under Renly's attack? Where is Stannis now? Will Melisandre use Shadowbind to kill Renly again as in the original plot? These questions were not answered, so he began to think in advance "how to deal with Renly's second solicitation". It was a waste of his brain. What he has to do now is to return to the oneself industry quickly and make it ready for war.

After another day's drive, Igor arrived at the industrial park on the morning of the third day after leaving King's Landing and quickly called middle management for a brief meeting.

"Building a wall around the industrial park?" Enoch scratched his hair: "How can I get enough time in two days, such a large area."

"It's not for use. A high wall to resist the attack, as long as it is taller than me, so that people can't easily climb over it." Unless it is built as high and as thick as The Wall, how can it be strong enough to withstand the attack of thousands of armies? Igor can only count on Renly's words right now: "After the completion, paint the outside with black paint, and if conditions permit, put some flags with black cloth, in short, let people see at a glance that this is the site of Night's Watch! "

"Understood, there should be no problem."

"Security team, stop training these two days and help build the wall together! Also, when Renly's army arrives, if there is any Scattered soldiers come to imitate the dog and steal chicken and even loot, those who don't wear a family crest will be chased away...but if they come with a banner... give up their resistance and keep their lives as the first priority!"

Gerold was hesitant to say anything, but in the end he held out his chest: "Yes, sir!"

It is said that soldiers are used for thousands of days, and the Night's Watch logistics security team has more than a hundred of them. It's too late, but unfortunately one encounters a challenge from the garrison, and one encounters Renly's army. They can only be ordered to be cowards... This feels really helpless and humiliating.

"There should be enough food and grass in the warehouse. If there are people from the surrounding area who ask for refuge in the garden, they will be admitted." With Renly's feather-loving temperament, she should not let the army under broad daylight harm civilians... …"Okay, what else is there, I will send someone to inform me when I think of it, but King's Landing is expected to be closed soon, everyone, take care." Strict, but as a big boss in the eyes of the soldiers of the garrison, he is naturally unlimited in and out. He rushed back to the office and told Nina about the harvest and experience of oneself from this trip, and he quickly learned from the other party. Get the latest news from King's Landing.

"What, the Red Keep announced the news of Robert's death last night, and this morning Stannis has been crowned ceremony in the Throne Room?"
