Is anyone following them?
Sandor turned around and asked, "Are you the scout of Lannister?"
The soldier recalled the clothes of the two men and said, "It doesn't look like... they are in the woods to the south. Sir, are we going to drive them away?"
Sandor patted the soldier on the shoulder and ordered, "Ask four people to go and have a look with me... Oh, by the way, separate two people to go hunting and hunt back two hares for Mrs. Xibei Er and let her roast and eat them by herself."
After saying that, without waiting for Mrs. Xibeier's rebuttal, Sandor had already led the soldiers away.
Among the woods near Moat Cailin.
Brienne and Podrick are hiding here to rest. They have no way to pass through the heavily guarded Moat Cailin and cannot enter the hinterland of the North.
The appearance of Sandor's group rekindled her hope. She was planning to go out to discuss with them and help take her and Podrick into the North.
Unexpectedly, the other party came over first, and Brienne looked at the other party's posture, and it seemed that the comer was evil.
Sandor and four the North soldiers rode into the woods and surrounded Brienne and Podrick.
A the North soldier shouted loudly and asked, "Who are you?"
Brienne and Podrick had tied their horses to a tree before. They could not escape on horseback for a while and could only watch helplessly as they were surrounded.
Before Brienne could answer, Sandor had already noticed her sword, "Ah, Lannister's gold. These two are Lannister's scouts, kill them."
The four the North soldiers obeyed the order, showed their weapons, and were about to attack the two Brienne.
Brienne also pulled out the Oathkeeper Sword from her waist. She recognized the other person's physical features, "Sandor·Clegane? I am Brienne·Tas who is loyal to Catelyn·Tully. Where did you get Arya·Stark?"
Sandor raised his hand to stop the soldiers' attack. He dismounted himself and came to Brienne, "You hold Lannister's sword and say that you are loyal to the deceased Duchess Winterfell? Do you think we are fools?"
Brienne raised the oath-keeping sword high, "Hand over Arya·Stark."
Sandor pulled out his sword, "Give it to you? Do you want you to take her back to King's Landing to receive the reward? My stinking cousin."
The two of them soon started fighting after saying nothing.
Podrick wanted to help, but as soon as he took a step, he was knocked to the ground by the North soldiers.
Brienne was already injured, and after just a few moves with Sandor, the wound opened. Her movements became more and more inconsistent, and she gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Sandor also noticed something strange about Brienne, but he was not a person who followed the knight's code. Based on the central idea of "killing you while you are sick", his moves became more and more fierce.
"Huh? Valyrian steel sword? I want one in my dreams!"
Brienne's armor oozed blood, and she struggled to withstand Sandor's fierce attack. However, Podrick's shout distracted her, and by accident, she was kicked to the ground by Sandor.
The North The soldiers swarmed up and tied up this woman who was taller than a man.
Sandor picked up the Oath Keeper Sword, "The fact that you can hold the Valyrian steel sword of Lannister proves that your relationship with Jaime·Lannister is not simple. You still have some value, I will not kill you."
Brienne struggled, "Where are you taking me?"
Sandor snatched the scabbard from Brienne's waist, sheathed the Oath-Keeping Sword, and inserted it into his waist, "Go see Princess Arya and King in the North, whom you miss so much, you stupid cousin."
Only then did Brienne realize that the person "The Hound" Sandor was loyal to was actually King in the North Luke·Stark, and judging from his tone, Arya·Stark had also returned to Winterfell.
For a moment, she gave up struggling, and her whole body seemed to be deflated and fell into a coma.
Podrick shouted, "Sir! Master Sandor! Miss Miss Brienne has injuries on her body. If you don't help her take care of it, she will die!"
Sandor asked the soldiers to tie Brienne and Podrick to the horse, "Stop screaming, this man is stronger than you and will not die."
They rode back to the temporary camp and found Mrs. Xibel roasting the hare in a funny way. No one wanted to help her.
Later, at Jenny's request, the the North soldiers helped them roast the hare. Jenny's younger brother and sister also had a relatively sumptuous dinner.
The next day.
Due to Brienne's injury, Sandor's group who arrived at Moat Cailin were forced to stay for a while.
Winterfell.
The return of Drogon made Gary feel relieved a lot. He personally measured Drogon's body shape to make chain armor.
After that, he never paid attention to Dragon anymore, but spent all day beside the underground forging furnace, continuing to build Valyrian steel.
When Daenerys and Margaery take a break from their busy schedules, they will go to Godswood's topless tower to see Dragon.
Especially Daenerys, she was very concerned about Drogon, who had been missing for almost two months. She checked every inch of Drogon's skin, worried that Drogon had been hurt.
Margaery would accompany Daenerys every time, and I don't know if it was because he came more often, but Dragon became closer and closer to her.
But it doesn't seem like she comes here often, because Drogon, who just came back, is no longer so repulsive to her.
Could it be because she smells like Gary?
Margaery blushed pretty and shook his head. No matter what, it was a good thing for Dragon to be close to her.
The two girls got along very well with Dragon. The only regret that Margaery felt was that Rhaegal and Viserion were not of the same size to carry her flying.
Drogon, which can carry people on board, has lost its hostility towards her, but its attitude is still very indifferent and he is unwilling to let her ride on his back.
Margaery watched Daenerys riding on the back of Drogon, flying together with Rhaegal and Viserion in the sky above Winterfell. His envy was beyond words.
Gary used a wooden carriage to pull three pieces of Dragon's finished chain mail and entered Godswood. He looked at the three Dragon in the air and sat on the wooden carriage to wait patiently.
It just so happened that he could take this opportunity to rest for a while.
Gary lay on top of Dragon's chainmail, closed his eyes and rested, and soon fell asleep.
Margaery, who was standing on the edge of Dragonpit, saw the carriage below. She went downstairs to find Gary, climbed onto the wooden carriage, lay beside him, and took a nap with her lover.
The two's nap did not last long. An ignorant the North soldier came to disturb them, "Your Majesty, Miss Tyrell, a group of people came from outside the city. They claim to be His Majesty's old friends in King's Landing, and they came here to pay a visit."
Gary took out the arm that was suppressed by Margaery and sat up, "King's Landing's old friend? What kind of friend can I have in that big cesspit... Well, I do have one. Who does he look like?"
Margaery stretched and asked more specifically for Gary, "Are there any dwarfs in that group?"
The soldier shook his head, "No."
