#243 - Chapter 17: Red Wedding (Part 3)
Speaking of which, Robb turned the conversation, a look of admiration on his face: "By the way, Master Galon, I've also heard about your battle on the Kingsroad. The scene was incredible, absolutely brilliant!"
Just then, Edmure interjected, "Indeed, Lord Galon, if you could join our ranks, we would be invincible. With your help, I believe we can quickly conquer King's Landing and achieve final victory!"
However, Liu Yuan shook his head, his tone firm, "Do you have enough troops to attack King's Landing? You must know, Highgarden is only half a day's journey from King's Landing, and my troops cannot be easily moved from here."
Robb frowned, lost in thought. After a moment, he said slowly, "We are planning a surprise attack on Casterly Rock, so we must secure the support of Lord Walder. Once the wedding is over, we will gather all our forces here. Master Galon, please join us!"
Facing Robb's invitation, Liu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head, earnestly advising, "In my opinion, the current situation is precarious, you should lead your army back to the North. After all, winter is coming, the Ironborn are still rampant in the North, and the Night's Watch on the Wall is sending out warnings to all sides - the wildlings are marching south in large numbers. Can the families of these soldiers who have fought alongside you survive this winter safely? These are all things you need to think about carefully."
Robb sighed deeply after hearing this, "Actually, I have thought about withdrawing my troops back to the North, but if I retreat so easily, how can I face my father who died tragically?" His eyes revealed endless pain and unwillingness.
Liu Yuan patiently advised, "Robb, relying solely on blind revenge will not truly solve the problem. What you sought in the past was nothing more than ensuring the North gained independent status. It was a series of victories that clouded your mind. The North is your foundation, and a King in the North without the North is worthless. Currently, Storm's End in the south has fallen into the hands of the restored Targaryen family. Dorne has openly declared allegiance to Viserys and sent troops to garrison the border areas. The main force of Highgarden's army has just suffered heavy losses, defeated by me. And Stannis is also eyeing the Iron Throne, licking his wounds on Dragonstone. In this situation, if you and Tywin propose a truce, the Red Keep will be more than happy, eager to reach a reconciliation with you! Even if you propose some excessive conditions, they will probably agree without hesitation."
Edmure nodded repeatedly, agreeing, "Lord Galon is right, we can completely make peace with Tywin first. This way, we can have more time to accumulate strength and recuperate. At the same time, we can sit back and watch them fight each other. When they are exhausted, we can launch a fatal blow and take the victory in one fell swoop." In fact, deep down he was already tired of this endless war. His sister's impulsive revenge had brought the fierce attack of the Westerlands army. Then his nephew led the Northern army to support, but the Riverlands, as the main battlefield, suffered greatly in the fierce battle between the two sides. Not only did countless innocent people die tragically, but even the lords and nobles could not withstand such enormous pressure. Decades of painstaking efforts were instantly reduced to nothing, and now what they need most is peace.
However, Roose Bolton remained silent, seemingly pondering something important.
Liu Yuan didn't care about that traitor at all. He calmly followed the Frey family to the residence they had prepared for him. The Frey family soldiers behaved normally, with no unusual signs. Perhaps they had not yet received the relevant notification.
However, as Liu Yuan carefully observed the layout of the castle, he could not have imagined that old Walder harbored other ulterior motives. After all, before this, everyone who entered the city had received salt and bread from the Frey family, as a sign of welcome. Moreover, in Westeros, people generally respect guest rights, and few people would easily violate this tradition. Those famous historical cases of trampling on guest rights all ended tragically, even being spurned by the world for thousands of years.
At dinner, Liu Yuan saw Catelyn. This woman kept thanking him for protecting her children in this chaotic situation.
As a mother, she had done many irrational things for the safety of her children. Her willfulness caused the war between the Lannisters and the Tullys, intensified the conflict, and brought the civil war to the kingdom ahead of schedule. It could be said that Eddard died because of her, and she even ignored the interests of many lords and secretly released Jaime. This caused her reputation among the Northern lords to plummet. Now that four of her five children have been confirmed safe, the big stone in her heart has finally been lifted.
Late at night, Liu Yuan had already changed and gone to bed. There was a knock on the door, and the guard outside walked in with a strange expression. He said, "Sir, someone is visiting. She insists on coming in now."
"She?" Liu Yuan noticed the word, the visitor was a woman. "Let her in." He was also curious which woman would come so late?
A woman in a black cloak entered the room, and the guard showed a knowing smile and closed the door from the outside.
The woman lifted her hood, it was actually Catelyn Tully. Liu Yuan was puzzled as to why she was here? Before he could speak, Catelyn untied the straps, the black cloak slipped off, revealing her naked body inside.
How to say it? Catelyn is 35 years old this year, just the ripe age, although she is the mother of five children, but her figure is maintained quite well. And this world's Catelyn is much more beautiful than the original drama, with 70% similarity to Emma Watson.
"Madam, please come up! Ahem ~ is sister-in-law, please respect yourself. ... Forget it, do what you want!" The widow is proactive, Liu Yuan hadn't spoken yet, she had already started. The night is long, he had to accept this erotic reward.
————————
Late at night, all was quiet, and the lord's study was dimly lit. A hooded figure, led by Lyman Frey and Petyr Frey, quietly walked in. This person was shrouded in a black robe, making it difficult to see his face.
Old Walder, with his wrinkled face, sat at his desk and slowly raised his hand, saying, "I have been waiting for a long time, please sit down! You two go out and guard the door, do not allow anyone to approach."
"Yes, grandfather." Lyman and Petyr agreed in unison, then turned and left, and closed the door.
