"Robb, although the little devil is disliked by the Lannister family, they are of the same blood after all.
If you recruit him, isn't it the same as inviting a hungry lion into the sheepfold?"
Seeing Tyrion and others leaving, Theon couldn't bear it at first.
"Hehe, didn't he agree? Please let people spread this matter."
"It turns out that you are not soliciting sincerely. I understand, and I will do it now."
I am sincerely soliciting, and I hope he will agree, but what a pity!
Looking at Theon who looked much more relaxed, Robb sighed in his heart.
Outside the meeting hall, Yoren walked up quickly and said to Tyrion, who was bowing his head in thought: "Lord Eddard's son is not simple! I can feel that he was serious about recruiting you just now!
You have always been looked down upon by others, but now someone values your talent, shouldn't you be happy?"
"Well, I can also feel that he is sincerely recruiting me. Because of this, I can't be happy!
I always feel that this matter is not that simple. He seems to know me very well, and just now he said with certainty that he will be my best choice when the end comes.
The Northern Territory will definitely get better and better under his control, but for the other six countries, I don’t know if it’s good or bad!”
Tyrion, who was deep in thought and whispering, suddenly scratched his head, which was troubled by the lack of information, and said to Yoren,
"Hey, why are we thinking so much here? Let these lords play their own power games, and let us play the adult games we like.
Hehe, I said I would treat you well in Castle Black, let’s go! Lord Yoren!”
Today in Winterfell, dozens of ravens are flying to various places carrying letters, the prostitutes in the red light district have received a large number of silver deer rewards, and the civilians in the winter market are living as usual.
…
In King's Landing, Sir Rodrik rode his war horse and slowly merged into the crowd, passing through the ancient, mottled, narrow and crowded old city gate.
Walking into the long-lost King's Landing, looking at the bustling crowd, Sir Rodrik stood on horseback in the center of the street, thinking in his mind how to find Lord Eddard to quietly report the situation.
"Sir Rodrik, Lord Eddard asked me to inform you to meet with me!"
A soldier, wearing a thick woolen robe dyed golden, and black armor on the outside, rode up to him on a horse and whispered.
Um?
Looking at the Capital Guard soldier (commonly known as the Golden Robe), Rodrik asked softly and doubtfully: "The King's Hand, Lord Ed?"
After the soldier nodded to confirm, he turned around on his horse and led the way. Rodrik thought for a moment, then drove his horse to follow.
Not far from the old city gate to the left, the two of them turned into the famous red light district, Silk Street.
This street is home to various high-end and low-end prostitutes. At this moment, both sides of the street are filled with young prostitutes wearing gauze and showing off their graceful figures without hesitation.
Sir Rodrik has never seen anything like this in so many years. He followed the leading soldier with an expressionless face.
After a while, the two of them arrived in front of a two-story, high-end stone building.
After the two people entered through the main entrance openly, the soldiers leading them stopped at a door on the second floor.
Rodrik pushed the door open and found that in this exotic and luxurious room, Ed and a middle-aged man with a handsome appearance and elegant temperament were waiting for him.
"Lord Eddard, Lord Baelish, Lady Catelyn asked me..."
Rodrik greeted the two of them when they met. He knew the middle-aged man next to Ed, who was the Finance Minister Petyr Baelish.
"Kate asks for Lord Baelish's help so that we can meet here."
Eddard glanced sideways at Baelish beside him and said a simple word.
Rodrik, who has been following Eddard for a long time, certainly knows that Lord Eddard dislikes Baelish very much.
"Lady Catelyn made no mention of it when I set out."
Rodrik nodded when he heard this, but said with some doubts.
"Ravens are always faster than humans. I just received Kate's letter a few days ago. I can't refuse her request at all!"
Baelish didn't care about Ed's expression at all and said with a smile.
"Okay, what does Kate want you to do?"
Ed didn't want to stay in the same room with Baelish at all, so he asked directly.
"Lord Eddard, someone was stabbing Brandon with a dagger made of Valyrian steel.
Therefore, Mrs. Caitlin feels that Brandon's fall from the broken tower was not an accident."
Rodrik heard the inquiry and spoke directly.
"Assassination of Brandon?... The dagger is made of Valyrian steel. It is very rare. It should be easier to trace."
After listening to Rodrik's story, Ed thought about the clue about the dagger and said softly.
"Ed, there is no need to pursue it. Among the seven kingdoms, I am the only one who owns a Valyrian steel dagger."
"you?"
"Yes, but on Prince Joffrey's name day, I lost the dagger to Tyrion Lannister."
"Tyrion Lannister?"
Hearing the clues provided by Baelish beside him, Ed thought about Tyrion's name.
"By the way, how is Winterfell? What's Robb's attitude on this matter?"
When Rodrik left Winterfell, the war had not yet begun. When he heard Eddard's question, he replied: "Winterfell is well managed by Robb. He told Lady Catelyn that this matter is not that simple.
Don’t jump to conclusions easily.”
"Very well, let's not jump to conclusions so quickly and continue investigating this matter.
Rodrik, thank you for your hard work, help me take this letter back to Winterfell and give it to Kate."
"As you command, Lord Ed!"
After Ed handed the letter in his arms to Rodrik, the two of them left his advanced technical academy with Baelish's smiling farewell.
Seeing that both of them had disappeared around the corner of the street, Baelish's face instantly darkened, biting his lips and thinking about how to deal with what was going to happen next.
After thinking for a long time, Baelish felt that the plan in his mind was completely feasible. He nodded secretly and turned to go upstairs.
He wrote a secret letter to his lover in the Eyrie, Lysa Tully.
The four Tyrions stayed in Winterfell for two days. After presenting Robb with a design for a special riding equipment, they set off directly to King's Landing.
When he saw the design drawings, Robb secretly nodded at Tyrion's ability to invent and create.
In order to avoid any surprises when Tyrion returned to King's Landing, he proposed to send a team of Winterfell cavalry to escort them.
But I don’t know if Tyrion didn’t want to get too involved with Robb and decisively rejected his kindness.
Robb thought that Catelyn was still in Winterfell, and he repeatedly emphasized to Sir Rodrik that he should not draw conclusions easily before there were enough clues to identify the murderer.
Therefore, there should be no accidents when Tyrion is at the Crossroads Inn.
At noon that day, the four Tyrions set off from Winterfell and returned to King's Landing.
