Chapter 199 Returning to the North and Avoiding Officials
the monk can run away, but the temple won't run With him, as the boss of the Night's Watch industry, walking away is undoubtedly irresponsible to Nina and other subordinates and followers. There must be suitable excuses and timing for avoiding official positions. Fortunately, Renly didn't rush to recruit Igor as Lord of the Seven Kingdoms as soon as he took King's Landing, which gave Igor time to prepare.

Iron Throne's new owner first relied on the bottle gourd to draw a scoop. The same amnesty order pardoned the golden robe sons who assisted Stannis in defending the city on the day of the broken city. Then, while rewarding the heroes, he quickly removed Eddard Stark and the city's robbers. Stannis swept away his weak foundation and power, and quickly began to mobilize resources as a king to strengthen the formation of a new Royal Fleet on the basis of Storm's End fleet, to quickly "pacify" Dragonstone, get his brother, and completely end the throne. fight.

The good news is that, in order to legitimize her rule, Renly declared herself as Robert's designated legal heir, fully acknowledging all of Robert's previous statutes, including the "Night's Watch Tax Exemption Act".

＊＊＊

Before crossing over, Igor was also fooled by the old Smith Donal Noye's comment "Robert is real steel, Stannis is pure iron, and Renly is bright copper". And because of this, I despised Renly... But think about it, what is the difference between this sentence and "Northerners can defeat ten with one"? It's all a biased evaluation with a strong subjective tinge.

Compared to the two older brothers, Renly is just too young to prove oneself. Didn't Tywin despise this Young Wolf because of Robb's age, but after the war, he was still defeated, and even his own son James was arrested? To put it 10,000 steps back, even if Renly is really bright copper, who can say that bright copper is not suitable for being a king?
As far as what I have seen and heard after coming to the world of Ice and Fire, to be honest - Igor thinks Renly is more suitable for king than Stannis. It is true that Renly has no ability to be praised except for his popularity, personal charm, and acting skills, but Liu Bang has not also admitted that oneself is "not as good as Zhang Liang in strategy, not as good as Xiao He in governing the country, not as good as Han Xin in fighting", these deficiencies—— Did it make it one of the most famous kings of all time?

A ruler, especially a ruler in the era of a feudal lord, his own personal ability is not the key. He is a qualified king who can win over his nobles, balance the forces of all parties, and use his talents to govern the country. . Not to mention, Renly will be a qualified ruler by virtue of "being on good terms with the princes of the Crownlands" and "willing to listen to Margaery's words and take the initiative to recruit talents".

With Renly's charisma, Margaery's cleverness, and the resources of the Reach, as long as Eddard Stark is taken as a hostage, a truce with the three northern lands and a solution to the instability of Stannis...

As long as the Tyrell family does not hold back as relatives, Renly's throne will be as secure as that of her brother Robert.

However, even if Renly is really a monarch who will never meet again... Igor will never take the life of oneself to take refuge in this king who will be killed by Magic at any time.

 …

The new king and queen's wedding is in full swing, but the world won't stop when Renly takes King's Landing. News from all over the place is still coming: on the Westernlands battlefield, the northern army suddenly went south and attacked the Reach army, but the latter stabilized their position under the steady command of the veteran Randyll Tarly, and took the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield before the strength great injury Stop further losses.

Then, the remaining four-nation coalition forces without Reach and Storm swept the entire Westerlands except for the heavily garrisoned Casterly Rock and Lanisport... As the North, Riverlands and Vale armies made good profits and prepared to withdraw from the Westerlands Going to King's Landing to rescue Eddard Stark, the lonely Dorne army was also forced to give up the idea of blood revenge for killing the Lannister - reaching an armistice with the Westerlands after receiving the head of Gregor Clegane... As a guarantee, Oberyn Martell exchanged for the right of way to return to Dorne through Reach. Under the attention of all parties, a major force in the Seven Kingdoms, so they hid safely back to their hometown to recuperate.

Apart from the dog-eat-dog among the princes of the Seven Kingdoms, pirates, bandits and other outlaws who landed on the Westeros Eastern Sea are also taking advantage of the war to become more and more rampant, and there has even been news that some people have captured small coastal villages and castles. Among them, Renly oneself's feudal country, Stormlands, suffers the most - if it can't be solved quickly, the Stormlands army will inevitably be flustered and have no intention of fighting the coming northern army. Even if they take Iron Throne, they will still be uneasy.

 …

While Renly and Margaery, the actor couple, were struggling to deal with the mess and had no time to take care of oneself, Igor arranged for oneself to leave in just a few days. Night's Watch Everything in the industry is ready to escape from this grand chaos.

He spent half a day writing a different world version of "Chen Emoji": first thank Renly for his courtesy and attention, and then he praised Fiercely for taking a flattery of the new king, Then the conversation changed, and it was mentioned that The Wall was facing the dual threat of wildling and Others - at this moment when the Seven Kingdoms northern frontier was facing an unprecedented crisis, oneself really couldn't throw down the oath of Life and Death Together, brothers and enjoy the peace in the south. Easy life. The oneself who is in his prime has more opportunities to serve the Seven Kingdoms, but the threat to the entire human race in the Night's Watch Legion and Westeros is rare in a thousand years... After a lot of talk about Rory, he corrected his attitude: to be solved Beyond the crisis of the wall, oneself will take the initiative to return to the south, and die for Renly Your Majesty striving to the utmost.

It doesn't matter whether the new king believes in oneself's guarantee or not. What Igor wants is to make the other party unable to openly attack, and take the initiative to deal with oneself and the Night's Watch industry... Of course, for insurance, Igor also prepared a gift for Renly and Margaery's wedding: a chandelier adorned with assorted crystal gemstones, reflecting sunlight during the day and lighting the oil lamp at the core at night, keeping the room as colourful as it is in a modern ballroom Turned on the lantern-like effect.

If the rumor that Renly likes colors is true, then he will definitely like this gift...and the oneself's "expression" will also be given to Renly at the same time as this wedding gift. . It is said that reaching out and not hitting the smiling face, if Renly still has to retaliate against the Night's Watch industry in this case, Igor can only be honest, waiting for Melisandre to take action.

 …

To avoid accidents, Igor decided to kill first and then play. As soon as the martial law was lifted in King's Landing, he left without stopping. Renly blocked the route to Blackwater Bay as Stannis returned to Dragonstone. The port outside King's Landing was again devastated and demolished during the war - and Igor had to travel overland on this trip back to the Wall.

With the prestige that allowed the Night's Watch industry to survive the crisis twice, supplemented by double military pay and a series of welfare benefits, Igor successfully recruited the Night's Watch logistics security team before leaving. Fifty soldiers, who voluntarily transformed from "Night's Watch Industrial Security" to "Night's Watch Logistics Department Direct Armed Forces," followed the Chief Logistics Officer northward, and only at his urging. Coupled with some personnel transporting food and grass materials, the entire northbound team has a size of nearly a hundred people... Arya, in the shape of a boy, wandered in the camouflage of Igor's personal squire, and was unremarkable at all.

Such a large team, and with sensitive war materials, is moving northward to the enemy's sphere of influence. It stands to reason that it is impossible to pass the interrogation and interrogation of the garrison... But who is Igor now? Also, with a little operation, it was easy to get through all the joints and get out of the city, quickly leaving the high walls of King's Landing behind.

After a lapse of nearly a year, Igor is once again heading to the place where he did his best to leave and where it all started. With a truckload of supplies and full of energy, the morale of the directly affiliated armed forces is quite the taste of returning home.

 …

I didn’t encounter any trouble in the first two days of the trip back to the north. With the idea of avoiding trouble as soon as possible, the team moved very fast. On the day, they will leave the Crownlands and enter the territory of the Riverlands. Once in territory loyal to the Tullys, Arya is safe.

But the more they were afraid of what they were, at noon on the third day, a squash golden robe caught up with them.
