Near Riverlands, Mountains of the Moon.
Arya and Sandor wandered aimlessly for a long time, slowly heading south.
She was carrying a long wooden stick and riding on the back of a docile white mare. "Where are we going?"
Arya's Ice spear was lost in King's Landing. Now she has no weapon at hand and can only use a wooden stick instead.
"Needle" in the original work no longer exists because of the Ice spear.
After the fall of Winterfell and Red Wedding, Arya has become homeless, and she is forced to wander around with the Hound Sandor.
Sandor was riding in front. Hearing Arya's question, he turned around and said, "I want you to take the Eyrie and ask your aunt Lysa for ransom."
Arya had no objection and followed Sandor silently.
The Eyrie is built in the valley of Mountains of the Moon. If they want to get there, they must first go around half of the mountain range before they can get there.
Sandor and Arya walked up to Kingsroad. They were not in a hurry and moved very slowly.
Nowadays, the northern part of Westeros is in troubled times, and overturned carriages and the bodies of ordinary people often appear on the roadside of Kingsroad.
Their horses, money, and food were all looted, and their wives and children also died in the humiliation.
Arya felt distressed and sad when she first saw such a scene. Later, she gradually became numb after seeing it more often.
"Wait a minute, follow me."
Sandor, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned around to give instructions to Arya.
Arya looked forward curiously, and it turned out that there were more than a dozen Mercenary walking towards them.
The group of Mercenary all rode horses with swords, escorted several carriages, and slowly marched towards the north of Kingsroad.
Sandor and Arya stopped where they were, waiting for the convoy to pass.
The owner of the motorcade was sitting in the carriage and happened to see Sandor on the roadside, "Stop! Stop everyone!"
He stopped the motorcade, opened the door of the carriage, and greeted Sandor, "Isn't this Master the Hound? I heard that House Lannister is offering a reward for your head. Why is Master the Hound still going south? Are you planning to go back to King's Landing and throw yourself into a trap?"
Sandor didn't recognize him, so he held the hilt of the sword warily, "Who the hell are you? What does it have to do with you where I go? Do you also want to take my head back to receive the reward?"
The owner of the team couldn't help but laugh and said, "One hundred Silver Stag? I am not short of this little money. Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Roose lan Cook, and I am a businessman."
He pointed to his caravan, "We are transporting goods to Winterfell, but you also know that there is no peace in the north. So I want to hire you to come with me to Winterfell."
Sandor spat on the ground, "I am not Kingsguard now, don't fucking call me an adult. Also, are you out of your mind? Moat Cailin was raped by Ironborn ZGuan Shou, how the hell are you going to the North? Besides, Winterfell has been burned down by Ironborn a long time ago. Who are you going to sell these goods to? Get out of here, don't waste my time here."
Roose Lan Cook shook his finger, "No, no, no, your news is too late. Winterfell has been recaptured by House Stark. They defeated House Bolton. The new king the North. Ironborn stationed at Moat Cailin was also frightened and fled, and now it is controlled by House Reed from Greywater Watch."
Arya was stunned, what? Stark took back Winterfell?
Sandor obviously didn't believe it, "Which Stark? Robb's two younger brothers are still little brats, they have the ability to take back Winterfell? Less TND farts."
Roose Lan Cook shook his finger again, "No, it's not Robb·Stark's younger brother, but his older brother, White Wolf Luke·Stark. He came back from Essos, and he also owns a Dragon!"
"WTF? Dragon?" Sandor became more and more outrageous as he listened, and couldn't help but said angrily, "If you continue to talk nonsense, I will shove my Dragon into your wife's eyes!"
Arya's eyes turned red, he sniffed and asked, "Luke is he really back? He also took back Winterfell?"
Roose lan Cook glanced at Arya in surprise, "Who are you?"
Sandor turned around and glared at Arya, "Do you believe his nonsense? A man who has been dead for several years suddenly returns and rides a Dragon?"
Arya said very seriously, "Luke owns a Dragon! I have seen it!"
"Nonsense, if you Stark really had a Dragon, this war would not be lost." Sandor pulled at the scar on his face and smiled ugly.
Roose Lan Cook corrected. "Sandor is big... that's not right. The North Although the coalition forces suffered heavy losses, King in the North is still there and the war is not over yet. How can it be considered a loss?"
Sandor's temper got worse, "If you don't shut up your damn mouth, I'll sew it up for you."
Arya wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "I want to go back Winterfell! Don't you want a ransom? Send me back. Luke will give you whatever you want. He loves me more than Aunt Lysa, and will never let you run away in vain."
Sandor sighed helplessly, "Do you really believe a businessman's lies? Your dead brother came back riding Dragon?"
Arya sniffed and said stubbornly, "Luke is not dead, his Magic is always there."
Sandor was silent for a moment, then turned back and glanced at Roose lan Cook, "We can go with you, but if you panic, I will kill you without hesitation."
Roose Lan Cook stared at Arya, his eyes shining, "Is this King in the North's sister? Is this the North's princess Prince? Quick, get in the carriage, I'll go ride a horse."
Oh my god, what a blessing! If I escort the princess of the North back to Winterfell, what kind of reward will King in the North who owns Dragon give me? It's really exciting.
Outside King's Landing, near Kingswood, the Reach coalition camp.
Garlan·Tyrell sitting in the military tent is reading the latest information about the North, "Dragon? House Bolton's entire army was wiped out... This Stark is a bit interesting."
He put down the secret message in his hand and suddenly thought of his sister, he couldn't help but look worried, "Margaery should be Winterfell soon. I wonder how the new King in the North will respond?"
At this moment, a cavalryman hurriedly entered the tent and said, "Sir Earl, according to your instructions, we stopped Lady Olenna's convoy and did not let them enter the city."
Queen of Thorns Olenna·Redwyne, started from Highgarden a month ago and came to King's Landing.
On the surface, she came to King's Landing to attend the wedding of her granddaughter "Margaery".
In fact, it was because Margaery ran away from Highgarden, and she was here to arrest her.
"Grandma is here? Please invite her in quickly."
Garlan·Tyrell has sent people to keep an eye on Roseroad since they entered the military camp, trying to stop Queen of Thorns halfway.
He had some small friction with Hand of the King Tywin, so he didn't want Olenna to enter the city and put himself at risk.
The cavalryman smiled bitterly, "Lady Olenna is already here..."
Before she finished speaking, Lady Olenna, dressed in rich clothes, walked into the military tent angrily. She came to Garlan·Tyrell and slapped him.
"Pah!"
Garlan·Tyrell caught the slap with his face in order to prevent his grandmother from falling.
Olenna was so angry that her veins popped out, and she yelled, "Where is Margaery?!"
