The two brotherhood members dragged the seriously injured Brienne in front of Lady Stoneheart, "Madam, Kingslayer's cousin is here."
Another brotherhood member handed the Oath Keeper Sword to Lady Stoneheart, "This sword can prove that she is Lannister's person."
Lady Stoneheart took the Oath Keeper Sword and carefully looked at the gold hilt and the ruby decoration on it. She covered her neck with one hand and screamed unpleasantly, "What is the name of this sword?"
"Oath Keeping Sword." Brienne answered truthfully.
Lady Stoneheart placed the Oathkeeper Sword in the dirty muddy water, "No, it should be called the Oathbreaker Sword. It is used for betrayal and murder, just like you."
Brienne endured the pain and explained loudly, "Madam, I have never betrayed you. I swear in the name of Seven."
Lady Stoneheart said without any emotion in his tone, "You should fulfill your oath."
Brienne knelt on the ground, crawled forward for a distance, and said with difficulty, "Madam, I have been looking for the whereabouts of Miss Sansa and Miss Arya. Miss Sansa escaped from King's Landing not long ago. I suspect she will go all the way north..."
Lady Stoneheart interrupted her coldly, "That's not important anymore. I need you to prove your oath with your sword."
"What?"
Brienne fell into a sluggish state, how could it not be important? That was the whereabouts of Miss Sansa. The Mrs. Catelyn in front of her made her feel so strange. Not only had her appearance changed, but her love for her children had also disappeared?
Lady Stoneheart roared, "Go kill Jaime·Lannister, the instigator of Red Wedding, to prove that you have not betrayed."
Brienne defended in a panic. "Madam, Jaime... saved me. He has always abided by his agreement with you and wanted to rescue Miss Sansa from King's Landing. He is not such a person and cannot dominate Red Wedding."
Lady Stoneheart ignored Brienne's excuse and said word for word, "Pick up your sword and kill Jaime·Lannister, or be hanged as a traitor."
Brienne looked at the Oath Keeper Sword at Lady Stoneheart's feet. She was silent for a while and said, "I can't do this."
Lady Stoneheart's smile turned ferocious, "Execution of hanging!"
"Yes."
Several fraternity members dragged Brienne and Podrick to a crooked-neck tree. They put rope loops around their necks, and then threw the long rope over the branches.
Brienne saw that they wanted to execute Podrick together, and immediately panicked. "Podrick is innocent, please let him go! My father will pay the ransom, and you will return my body and Podrick to Tarth..."
"He is the squire of the Imp! He is also the lackey of Lannister!" shouted a member of the Brotherhood.
Another brotherhood member also mocked. "Kingslayer's cousin, we don't need your gold, can you resurrect my wife and children? What we want is revenge!"
"Hang this cousin quickly!" shouted the surrounding brotherhood members.
The two brotherhood members pulled the rope at the same time, and the rope around the necks of Brienne and Podrick began to tighten, lifting them up slowly.
Brienne is tall, and at his current height, he can still reach the ground on tiptoes.
But the short Podrick was already hanging in the air, his feet kept kicking, and he was about to suffocate to death.
Brienne couldn't bear to see Podrick die because of her, so he shouted with all his strength, "Sword, I choose the sword."
Lady Stoneheart made a gesture, and the brotherhood members immediately put Brienne down.
The brotherhood member who pulled the rope spat thick phlegm at Brienne, his face full of contempt.
Brienne didn't pay attention to the rope around her neck. She hurriedly helped Podrick loosen the rope. The two of them collapsed in the mud, coughing violently.
Lady Stoneheart asked someone to throw the oath-keeping sword in front of Brienne, "I changed my mind. Before you go to King's Landing, go to Winterfell first and kill Luke·Snow who usurped the throne."
Brienne's eyes widened with disbelief on his face. The lady is really crazy, Luke·Stark is reviving the North, which is House Stark's last hope.
She heard Jaime mention that Luke·Stark is reorganizing the North's forces and has great momentum to counterattack Iron Throne. If she kills him, the North and Riverlands will instantly fall into the hands of Lannister.
Mrs. Catelyn seems to have abandoned her family ties and family, leaving nothing but revenge.
But no matter what Mrs. Catelyn becomes, she is the one Brienne swears allegiance to. Brienne must also use the sword to guard the oath and obey her orders unconditionally.
"As commanded."
Brienne picked up the Oath Keeper Sword on the ground and knelt down on one knee.
A few days later.
Riverrun's House Tully launched a feint attack on a rainy night, attracting the attention of the besieging army.
Then, taking advantage of the chaos, a group of men and a carriage broke out from the other direction of Riverrun. They followed the path and headed north.
The North's throat, Moat Cailin.
According to the previous order of Gary, House Manderly of White Harbor was responsible for the repairs, House Dustin of Barrowton and House Reed of Greywater Watch sent troops to garrison respectively.
To this day, nearly a thousand the North coalition troops are stationed in the restored Moat Cailin castle.
Sandor led the people to attack non-stop for several days before they got rid of Lannister's pursuers and arrived at the boundary of Moat Cailin.
The Lannister defenders surrounding Riverrun also knew that the North troops were stationed at Moat Cailin. They did not dare to approach, so they had no choice but to turn back.
Sandor and others stayed near Kingsroad to rest. If they continue running like this, their horses will be exhausted.
Jenny stepped out of the carriage and asked softly, "Your Excellency Sandor, have you gotten rid of the pursuers?"
Sandor came to the carriage carrying dry food and water, "Madam, don't worry, Moat Cailin is in front of you. Those losers don't dare to come over. We are safe."
Janey looked at the Moat Cailin castle in the distance longingly. She was once the queen of the North, but she had never set foot on the land of the North. It was really ironic when she thought about it.
Mrs. Xibel snatched the cloth bag from Sandor's hand and opened it. There were only dry jerky and crumbled bread inside. She said with disgust, "Is that the only thing?"
Sandor has no good impression of this old woman, but he is now the guard of Princess Arya. In order not to embarrass the North Royal House, he changed his habit of "talking dirty".
"Ma'am, just let it go. When Winterfell comes, His Majesty will hold a wedding banquet for Lady Jane."
Mrs. Xibel threw the bag on the ground and said angrily, "There are children in the carriage, how can they eat these things? Are you all dead? Go hunt some hares and come back!"
Jenny picked up the bag and said, "Mother, they escorted us all the way and are already very tired. Let's just..."
Sandor looked at Mrs. Xibel coldly, almost unable to restrain his urge to say dirty words.
At this time, an accompanying soldier came over and reported, "Master Sandor, there are two sneaky people following us."
