#178 - Chapter 24 Subsequent Fermentation

In the city of Thorns, Liu Yuan was teaching Rickon how to draw. A warhorse galloped up the hill, and Case tossed aside the reins, approaching him. "My lord, news has just arrived from King's Landing."

Liu Yuan: "What happened?" Case glanced at Rickon, hesitating to speak. Liu Yuan immediately understood, "Let's go, we'll talk over there."

After walking a distance, Case said, "According to the Embroidered Uniform Guard stationed in the Red Keep, yesterday evening, Eddard Stark and Jaime Lannister had a conflict. Stark's captain of the guard, Jory Cassel, and two others were killed. Duke Eddard suffered a leg injury and fell unconscious, only waking up this morning."

Liu Yuan: "What measures has the King taken?"

Case: "The King and Queen personally went to visit him. A fierce argument broke out during the visit, and the King slapped the Queen. However, Eddard accepted the King's reconciliation proposal and wrote a letter to Winterfell, requesting Lady Catelyn to release Tyrion."

Liu Yuan: "I remember Catelyn and them went to the Eyrie, right?"

Case: "Yes, my lord. Intelligence says Catelyn, escorting Tyrion, arrived at the Eyrie two days ago. Currently, Tyrion is imprisoned, awaiting trial."

Liu Yuan: "Alright, continue monitoring."

Case: "My lord, do we not need to do anything?"

Liu Yuan: "No, this matter is not related to us. How are the industries in King's Landing being handled?"

Case: "Ordinary personnel have all been evacuated, our cargo transportation channels have been transferred to Duskendale port, and the Cetiga family's industries are also being gradually withdrawn. Do the brothers in the tax police team need to be evacuated?"

Liu Yuan: "Let them wait a while longer! They might still be useful. After Tyrion was captured, what was the Lannister family's reaction?"

Case: "After the incident, Jaime left King's Landing. News says he has arrived at the Golden Tooth, possibly returning to the Lannister family's territory. The old lion has not reacted yet."

Liu Yuan: "Things won't end like this. Both the Starks and the Lannisters will retaliate. Notify the patrol teams along the river to monitor closely. If there are any roaming bandits, kill them on sight."

"Yes!"

Winterfell, Robb was teaching Bran to ride a horse in the forest outside the city. Tyrion's special saddle worked well, with straps and metal supports holding Bran's body securely. He hadn't been this happy in a long time.

But Robb's mood wasn't as good as it seemed on the surface, because he had also received news from King's Landing. Theon quietly asked him, "Did you tell him about the things in King's Landing?"

Robb: "No, I don't want him to know about these things yet."

Theon: "Then Jory and the others died in vain? You should seek justice for them."

Robb: "Are you talking about war?"

Theon: "No! I'm talking about justice."

Robb: "Only the Duke of Winterfell has the right to summon vassals to assemble an army. I'm just a acting castellan."

Theon sneered, "The Lannisters pierced your father's leg with a spear and slaughtered your father's guards. Jaime has already fled to Casterly Rock, and no one is doing anything about it?"

Robb said impatiently, "What do you want me to do, send troops to Casterly Rock?"

Theon showed no weakness, "They dared to attack the Duke, they have already provoked the situation. Are you just going to sit idly by? When your father is not here, you should stand up, it is your responsibility!"

Robb was speechless for a moment, he felt offended. He blurted out, "What does this have to do with you? You are not a Stark, and this is not your home." These words were a bit too much. Jon came to Winterfell at the age of eight, and the person he respected most was Eddard Stark. He had always wanted to prove himself and integrate into this family.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Robb suddenly stood up, because he found Bran was missing. He quickly looked around, "Bran, where did you go?"

Theon also got up and looked around, "How would I know? This isn't my home." Despite being stubborn, he still ran to find him.

Bran had indeed had an accident. A group of escaped wildlings had captured him. The wildlings had a disagreement on how to deal with the little guy. The female wildling said, "He's worthless if he's dead. This is a blood relative of Benjen Stark. If we can take him back beyond the Wall, Mance Rayder will definitely reward us handsomely."

The wildling leader said, "Screw going beyond the Wall! To hell with Mance Rayder! We finally made it here, and I don't want to face the White Walkers and shadow creatures again. I want to go south, as far south as I can go."

"None of you are going anywhere, drop your weapons! If you surrender, I can spare you." Robb and Theon appeared. Although there were eleven wildlings, they were not afraid.

A wildling rushed forward with an axe, and Theon raised his hand and shot an arrow, piercing his throat. "Swish~ swish" Two more arrows, taking down two people.

Robb had already drawn his sword and stood in front, because Liu Yuan had taught him sword skills that were more agile, easily wiping out the necks of two people. The female wildling and the others scattered, with four rushing towards Theon. The threat of the archer was too great. The others surrounded Robb.

The leading wildling directly cut the straps on the saddle with a dagger, pulling Bran down. In his haste, he also scratched him.

When the wildling leader turned back, most of his subordinates were already dead. He just happened to see Theon strangling the last guy with a bowstring, leaving only the female wildling, who was being held down by Robb, who was stepping on her head.

He shouted sternly, "Stop! Damn it, drop your weapons! Otherwise, I'll kill this kid."

Theon aimed an arrow at him. The wildling was clever, wrapping his left arm around Bran, using his body to shield himself, and pointing the boning knife in his right hand at his neck.

Bran: "Don't worry about me, do it!"

Wildling: "Shut up! You two put down your weapons."

"Okay, you release my brother, and I swear by the Stark family's honor, I'll let you leave!" Robb hesitated and threw the sword on the ground.

Theon had just put it down, but raised the bow again, "I don't trust wildlings!"

Robb: "Theon, put it down, don't hurt Bran!"

"Poof!" A sharp dagger pierced in from the wildling's jaw. Bran took advantage of his attention being diverted, and secretly took out the dagger hidden in his sleeve, dealing a fatal blow. The wildling's body fell backward, and Bran was also thrown to the ground. Robb quickly ran over and hugged him in his arms. "Bran, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, it doesn't hurt at all!"

Theon smiled, "Hehe~ Well done, strong child! On our Iron Islands, you are considered an adult only after you have killed an enemy!"

Robb: "Why didn't you listen to me just now?"

Theon: "Just a wildling, I was confident that I could take him down before he acted! What about this woman?" He pointed the bow and arrow at the female wildling.

The female wildling was very sensible, and quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowing non-stop, "My lord, please spare my life! My people are yours."

Robb thought for a moment, "Spare her life for now, take her back to Winterfell."
