Chapter 475 The Whistleblower

Every soldier under the Night Watchman and every resident in the territory are working hard to prepare for the post-war reconstruction and the upcoming expedition beyond the Great Wall. To make a ranking of the "busyness" of the city, that removes a small group of special people in the inner castle of Houguan Town who are secretly planning to conquer the Seven Kingdoms... At least on the bright side, Carter Parker thinks he is second, and no one dares to admit that First.

There is no other reason—Eastwatch is just too special.

As one of the only three remaining strongholds before the expansion of the Night Watchmen, it retains the tunnel leading to the outside of the Great Wall.Although the White Walkers were ordered by the High Command to fill up debris and fill them with water to seal them up, after all, the time is not long, and it is much easier to dig through than to open a new hole in the ice wall...

Therefore, unlike most strongholds that only need to prepare food and weapons and arrange drills for the next large-scale military operation, Carter Pike also has an extra task of digging tunnels.

If that's all, then at least there are Castle Black and the Shadow Tower as brothers and sisters. Unfortunately... People who think this way must have forgotten: Eastwatch is the only fortress along the Great Wall that was besieged by the White Walkers, but was defended after paying huge casualties.

Castle Black is in the middle of the Great Wall, luckily not able to see the Sea of ​​Ghouls, so of course I don’t mention it; the Shadow Tower was captured by the White Walkers within an hour, not to mention the wounded, even the dead were resurrected by cold magic and attacked Houguan Town —inadvertently throwing most of the aftermath work to the land-grant capitals.The "filler settlers" digging tunnels there these days just do the work and don't have a lot of shit to worry about.

Only Donghai Watch, the fortress that managed to defend the eastern end of the Great Wall during the two-line attack of the aliens, not only had to burn the bodies of the dead, but also treat and take care of the wounded who survived the war, and it was necessary to appease the emotions of the families of the victims... Even with the arrival of a large number of backup, the plight of insufficient personnel has not been completely alleviated.

In addition to this, there is another problem, which is impossible for any other fortress to encounter.

During the frightening night when the White Walkers attacked from the east and west at the same time, the swift and violent ice storm that blew from the Land of Eternal Winter froze a large area of ​​the seawater in Seal Bay, which had already been cold to below freezing point.Although these ices were frozen under the influence of supernatural means, there is nothing supernatural in themselves: they are solid substances formed by the heat release of liquid water, with a slightly lower density, but abnormally hard.Although the White Walker invasion has been thwarted, the frozen sea that stretches for more than ten miles outside the East Sea Watch Port will not disintegrate and dissipate before summer comes, which has led to a very embarrassing and extremely insecure state : If the White Walkers who fled back beyond the Great Wall gather a group of dead people to make a comeback, as long as they walk eastward along the Great Wall to the sea, they can still cross the Great Wall on ice without hindrance and make a comeback.

This is of course unacceptable to anyone.

Therefore, although the war has shifted from defense to counter-offensive, the "Seal Bay De-icing Team" that has been almost destroyed has to be rebuilt and expanded to meet the needs.

And under such circumstances, Carter Pike actually had to follow Iger's order, despite the soldiers' questioning and pleading, and tried and executed a deicing man who attacked the chief on the night the war broke out and became a deserter. team members.

Although that guy really deserves to be damned, doing such a thing at such a time is really unpleasant.

……

Carter Pike inspected the burial of the ashes of the dead in the morning, and then checked the preparations for the expedition beyond the Great Wall. Let’s take a look at what the soldiers in the fortress think about the hanging of the deserter Chett... Just as I was exhausted physically and mentally, I was planning to rest for a while, and another ship from White Harbor docked at the pier—to be precise, it was freezing outside the port. On the solid ice surface, a small group of people descended from above. The leader introduced himself as a messenger loyal to the Mandalay family, claiming to have brought secret news from the northern border.

While ordering the requisition of the ship and sailors from White Harbor to join in the de-icing, Carter received the visitors with great energy.This meeting didn't matter, but what he heard immediately shocked him: Robb Stark, the lord of the North, decided to overthrow the current commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, and end Iger's attempt to lead the land-grant forces to serve the Queen and help her fight for the Iron Throne. Plan—and ask myself, the commander of the East Watch, to act as the internal response of the Night Watch, contact personnel within the legion, organize operations, and prepare to respond to the strong intervention of the North on the Great Wall.

This shocking news woke up Carter Pike, who was already half dead from exhaustion. He put down a lot of business at hand and had a long talk with the northerners from White Harbor. It just came to an end.

The envoys of the Mandalay family were invited to rest in the guest room in the fortress, while the commander of East Sea Watch and his confidants were eating the dinner delivered to the office room, while reflecting on the heavy news they had just received, as if they were in the in a dream.

"My lord, what is there to hesitate about? The Night Watch has nearly a thousand commanders-in-chief, but since ancient times, when they put on black and wanted to lead troops south to rebel, when did it succeed? In turn, the Stark family decided to Which one to choose as the commander-in-chief, which one failed?" Iron Emmett couldn't understand Carter Pike's hesitation at all, he didn't have the heart to eat the dinner in front of him at all: "Rob Stark chose to contact the Lord You, once things are done, you will be the next commander-in-chief!"

"If it weren't for the death of the old fox Dennis Mallister, Bowen Marsh and Othel Yawick of Castle Black would not be able to handle the task, and the young wolf lord's own illegitimate brother, Jon Snow, would be dead set on Iger again. , the Stark family can see me as a big boss who comes from the Ironborn?" Carter Pike was not polite, he pulled his share of food in front of him, gave the speaker a displeased look, and then started It started, "Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking, it's done, I will be the commander-in-chief of the Night Watch, and you can be promoted to be the commander of East Sea Watch, right?!"

Ern pursed his lips, but didn't speak.

Relying on the feat of shooting and killing two White Walkers under the guidance of the red-robed monk, his position and prestige in the fortress as the chief ranger of Eastwatch have skyrocketed, from the original "top ranking" to suddenly becoming The hero of "one person under a hundred people".Coupled with the fact that he is the commander's confidant, it can be said that if there is no accident, he will be the next East Seawatch commander.

However, Carter Pike is in his prime, and he is as healthy as a cow. He wants to wait for him to die before he succeeds. There is obviously only one solution: expect the former to be transferred due to job changes.

This was indeed his first impetus in persuading Carter to agree to the Stark family's plan, but what's wrong with thinking so?I didn't intend to harm Carter Pike's interests, I just hoped that he could strive to become the commander-in-chief and promote myself!

"Do things, use your brain!" Carter Pike stuffed a piece of bacon into his mouth, then pointed his head with the fork that had just been forked, and reprimanded him inarticulately, "Mr. Secretary... That guy Iger, after he went south to chase and eliminate the aliens, he ordered everyone in the fortresses along the Great Wall to leave the station without a transfer order when he returned to Houguan Town. Who was he guarding against? He didn't care about others' evaluation of him and insisted Regulations: Anyone who asks to see him is not allowed to carry a weapon. Who is he guarding against? He has to be on duty when he sleeps, and he wants to bring a dozen people with him when he goes to the toilet. Who are he guarding against?"

"Defend against us! Protect against his 'Night Watchmen' brothers! He has long expected that the Stark family may come to this move, and now it is true, so that the opponent's every move can be judged in advance... Do you really think, I Nod in agreement, and then you can wait for the Stark family to send me to the position of commander-in-chief of the Night Watch?"

……

Isn't it just cowardly, what reason are you looking for!

Ian almost couldn't help rolling his eyes: he was actually taught by Carter Pike, this well-known warrior commander with strong limbs and simple mind, to "use your brain when doing things"? !This is the most mysterious thing he has ever encountered in his life, except for the invasion of ghosts.

However, he didn't dare to confront his boss face to face: "But, if the Northern Territory is determined to replace him as the commander, how can he resist? With one order from the Stark family, they can summon more people than the entire land-grant population." More troops!"

"Shit, you forgot just a few days after the war ended? The White Walkers brought 10,000+ dead people across the Great Wall, how many are left now? Every move is counted as death, and more people are useless!" Carter Then he stuffed a mushroom into his mouth, aggrieved: "Is the position of commander-in-chief handed over to my door? But what kind of stupid idea did the Stark family come up with? What are you talking about—the mad queen's dragon has them To find a way to deal with it, I just need to win the available power inside the Night Watchman, launch an incident while Iger is out of the wall to lead the expedition, control the passages in and out of the Great Wall, and then shut him out when he returns, forcing him to resign and Self-imposed exile will do. 'That's enough'? Pooh!"

"This plan sounds very feasible, is there any problem?"

"It's a big problem!" Carter chewed the food in his mouth fiercely, as if it was its enemy, "Let's not mention that I have only operated in Eastwatch for so many years, and I don't have many internal contacts within the Night Watch— That's something that old fox Dennis is good at. Not to mention that there are now more than 1000 people in East China Sea who can move, of which only [-] are "my people". On the way to Houguan Town. Let’s just mention the simplest step here: lock Iger outside the fortress so that he can’t come back? I have received orders to lead all the rangers of Donghaiwatch out of the fortress when the expedition begins. As the vanguard of the Eastern Expeditionary Army! The time when the Starks want me to launch an incident to seize power, I should be with you—in the ghost forest that is farther away from the Great Wall than Iger! Come, come, teach me Me, how can I keep him outside the Great Wall so that he can't come in?"

"Huh?" Iron Immet was really dumbfounded, "We are going to be the vanguard of the Eastern Route Army? How come I don't know."

"You will know that there is a ghost. This is a direct order from the Commander-in-Chief of the Night Watch to Commander Eastwatch the day before yesterday. It is not public!" Carter Pike picked up another piece of potato and put it in his mouth. He took a piece of paper out of a pile of papers on the table and threw it to the chief ranger: "Look, this guy, he speaks beautifully, but he really doesn't hide it at all. He just wants to tell you clearly that you He is on guard against everything he can do, don't try to mess around!"

"Now, do you still think that he will foolishly not prevent the northerners from killing the dragon of the mad king's daughter? Don't he prevent the Starks from making trouble?" Wiping the oil from his mouth, Commander Eastwatch said helplessly Sighing: "I can't beat him, Bowen Marsh and Oser Yawick can't beat him, even Dennis Mallister has to honestly admit that he is not as good as him... How old are you? You, just eat honestly, and then pretend that you haven’t heard anything, what should you do. There is no one in this world who can cure him... Maybe he has been born, but it will never be me , and it won’t be that little doll from the Stark family with no hair, let alone you!”

……

An opportunity to unseat the enemy and replace him by himself is in front of him. It would be a lie to say that he is not moved.But Carter Pike was born in the Iron Islands, and the culture of the Ironmen...is somewhat different from that of the seven continental countries.

There, there are no oaths, honors, and natural nobility to prove yourself better than others in order to be the leader and respected.

On a ship, the most powerful person is always the captain; on an island, the most powerful person is always the island owner; even the fact that the Greyjoy family is the master of the Iron Islands, which seems to be a matter of course, was not always the same from the beginning. This is so, but it was accepted by everyone because a more powerful person-Aegon I Targaryen wiped out the original king of the Iron Islands and then asked the Ironmen to choose a leader and obey the management.

On the Iron Islands, the cult of the strong is ingrained in the culture.The weak should worship and submit to those who are stronger than him, and the defeated should admit to the winner and be obedient... Hold grudges, hold back, and wait for the opportunity to retaliate?There is no such statement!

And this kind of thinking inertia that has been engraved into the subconscious by cultural customs since childhood will not be completely wiped out just because he has been a night watchman for many years.

Carter Pike went to Castle Black to compete with other players because he didn't think other candidates were better than himself.But later, Iger proved with facts that he was better than himself, and that he could deal with the threat of aliens... No matter how much I hate him, I should just continue to be the commander of the fortress honestly in Donghai Watch, and then No second heart... of course!

He explained so much to Iron Emmett today, and he insisted on convincing his confidant that "it is right for me not to cooperate with the Starks". The reason for this may not even be realized by Carter Parker himself: subconsciously, he has already determined that it is impossible for him to defeat Iger.

Carter Parker, who is not afraid of anything, is scared.

……

Quickly finished reading the commander-in-chief's letter of appointment to Commander Eastwatch, Ian Emmett slowly put down the letter in his hand, and finally began to admit: This person has never masked himself... he can write the letter he is familiar with. That Commander-in-Chief, who Carter Pike can force to say "use his brain," does seem to have something.

Is it true that you just forget everything that the fat man said just now, and then pretend that nothing happened, so what should you do? further?

"Don't think about it, eat it while it's hot, everything is cold!" At the moment when the chief ranger was in a daze, Carter had already wiped out his dinner, and now he picked up a knife and started He picked his teeth slowly.

No, there must be something I have overlooked!Gritting his teeth while staring at the commander's tooth-picking knife in front of him, and thinking about it, when Carter was about to be stared at by his eyes, Ian finally grasped the flashing and fleeting thought in his mind.

If he wants to go further in his position, Carter Parker must be promoted or down.And if Carter Pike wants to be promoted again, the commander-in-chief has to give up his position.I previously thought that the only way to bring Iger down was because I subconsciously felt that the "commander-in-chief" had come to an end-this was true in most cases, but for a person who had already pledged allegiance to the queen, it was not true. not applicable!

"My lord, you are right, you have to use your brains to do things!" The young chief ranger became excited: "Since you judge that the northern border is no match for the commander-in-chief-I believe this a little bit now-so you decide not to Participating in the conspiracy against him, how can you not express your loyalty quickly, but decide to pretend that nothing happened?"

"The Commander-in-Chief has decided to support the Queen's claim to the Iron Throne. If he succeeds in putting the Queen on the throne in the future, will he and his confidantes continue to be night watchmen in this crappy land-grant? Of course not, they will Go to King's Landing to be an important minister in the court! At that time, even if Lord Iger does not step down as the commander-in-chief, he will have to find someone to act as his deputy, right? Guess, he will choose one from the Night Watch Legion at random, or just choose the one who will face him. When the decision was critical, did you choose the person who stood on his side and exposed the conspiracy in the North?"

Um?Carter Parker became a little interested, put down his teeth-picking knife and raised his legs, and leaned closer: "What do you mean?"

"Arrest that man from the Mandalay family, tie him up and send him to the commander-in-chief!" Ein slashed with one hand, made a fierce gesture, then felt that something was wrong, thought for a few seconds before shaking his head I changed my mind: "No, no, no. If I were the commander-in-chief, I would definitely hope that you, my lord, will...pretend to agree to the conditions of the northern border, and at the same time secretly report the situation to him, so that he can be even more caught off guard! "

Carter Parker's eyes lit up, that's right, this is the way to win without losing and maximize profits!

Zhengqiang suppressed his excitement, and was about to discuss the details of who would send the whistleblower, when there was a knock on the door, and a Donghaiwatch veteran outside the door shouted at the top of his voice.

"Master Pike! Several large ships approached the ice outside the port, flying the red dragon flag, and a large group of eunuchs and soldiers came down...a fat man with a bald head and a thin man who looked wretched, who said they were the Queen's? Commander and intelligence officer, how do you deal with this?"

Chapter 476 Little Brother's Confusion

The team that drove hundreds of miles from the northern border to Houguan Town, the team of businessmen who were actually informers quietly disappeared from people's sight.At this chaotic moment when land-grant people come and go, all kinds of unreliable rumors and news are flying, a large number of residents are suppressing an unknown fire, and an epic expedition is about to begin, no one cares about these gangs at all. The whereabouts, whereabouts, and life and death of outsiders.

And the famous Commander of Castle Black, Jon Snow, who was sent by Iger to Winterfell to carry out the task of collecting materials after the Battle of Long Lake, had to escort a convoy full of saltpeter and dragonglass weapons, dragging a large amount of materials, They obviously took a step ahead, but ended up slowing down the whistleblowers by dozens of hours... Fortunately, the journey was smooth, and finally arrived at Houguan Town, which was about to become the source of the storm, and completed the task assigned by the commander-in-chief.

After handing over the materials to the warehouse management officer in the inner castle, Jon went to the core of the castle, ignoring the reminder and persuasion of the guard that "the commander-in-chief is very busy", and insisted on seeing Iger immediately.

To be honest, Iger should have no intention of meeting a "serious night watchman" like Jon at this time: Although everyone wears black clothes, wears the same label, and is each other's sworn brothers in name, he and many night watchmen are actually brothers. It's a two-way person through and through.Those "noble people" who only want to keep their oaths and have no other ideas except to guard the Great Wall, not only cannot contribute to the cause they are fighting for, but on the contrary, they have motives and reasons to hate, betray and even assassinate themselves... …

Under such circumstances, dealing with them too much has become a thing with almost zero expected benefits, a lot of time-consuming and risky things, and no reasonable person will be willing to do it.

But Jon is different, Iger has no reason to refuse to see him: firstly, the former did not leave his post along the Great Wall in disobedience, but went to the south to execute his own order and returned successfully; secondly, the personal relationship between the two is quite Closely, before the Southern Expedition really started, Jon might have come to persuade him to give up, but he definitely could not have come to kill him; the third and most direct reason——as the informer sent by the old skinner The person who "participated in the half-time northern lord meeting", Iger just wanted to learn more directly from the person involved what happened in Winterfell that day, so as to try to restore the real situation.

Soon, the Commander of Castle Black, who surrendered his weapons without exception, was brought to the Commander-in-Chief's office, and was received as he wished.

……

After a long questioning and narration, Iger roughly grasped the situation of the meeting from his little brother, and began to repeatedly ask questions about the details in a targeted manner to ensure that there was no error in the transmission of information between each other.

"That is to say, Robb invited you to this meeting at the beginning because he hoped that you could serve as a spokesperson, provide them with internal information about the Night Watchman, and even take the lead in dealing with me...Is that so?"

"True, but I expressed my opinion bluntly and managed to impress Robb..."

Iger waved his hand to show that he didn't care about the following subjective content, but went straight to his inquiry: "Then, in the middle of the meeting, Roose Bolton expelled you with the excuse that you are an outsider... right? ?”

"It wasn't Roose Bolton who drove me away, I decided to leave." Jon shook his head, "After all, I am a night watchman now, after expressing my views, the adults in the northern border will discuss the final decision by themselves. It's very reasonable. Moreover, after the meeting, a guard I've known since I was a child also came to tell me the result, and after discussion, the northern nobles decided to accept your terms and remain neutral."

What a young man!

Saying that you are an outsider, do you really agree that you are an outsider?Using tricks to force you to leave voluntarily if you can't stay any longer, what's the difference between this and driving you away directly?You're still speaking for Roose Bolton, which makes sense?

Jon has grown a lot in the years since he became the Night's Watch, but there are some things he may not be destined to learn.Iger shook his head helplessly, feeling amused, but he couldn't laugh. He knew Jon too well—unless it was for an absolutely noble and correct goal in his mind, this guy had almost no ability to lie.I haven't done any "bad things" yet, and I can't become the villain and villain who needs to be deceived in his eyes. Obviously, I can believe that the story he narrated is the truth, and if so...

Jon did bring back the news that "the North agreed to be neutral", and the emissary sent by the old skinner was right.But other than that, there are quite a lot of "seemingly consistent but far apart" between the rhetoric of the two sides.

When Robb Stark asked Jon to participate in the meeting, he didn't even know that his bastard brothers would stand firmly behind him and defend his policies, so "Rob Stark instructed the princes to speak before Jon "acting" does not hold true.

If this alone is not a big deal, Roose Bolton blatantly declared that Jon was an outsider and implied that he should not continue to participate in the meeting, but then sent someone to inform him afterwards, which can not help but make people suspicious: Maybe it's this old guy... On the one hand, he urged Robb to formulate a good strategy to deal with him, and on the other hand, he sold the former immediately to inform him, so as to provoke both ends, not only to provoke the war between the land grant and the northern border, He also switched camps by jumping in a car, trying to maximize the benefits all at once!

If he is not familiar with the plot, even with Iger's paranoia, he would not dare to make such an astonishing guess.But now, this kind of...isn't it Roose Bolton's style that he will be a loyal minister if he doesn't make a move, and vows to do everything right once he makes a move?

A long time ago, the Bolton family of the Dreadfort, which was also called king, tried to overthrow the wolf family mountain that was pressing on them, and became the masters of the house again. This motive...how does Iger, who is trying to get rid of the black clothes and change his destiny, understand and even empathize with him?If Roose Bolton came to him to discuss frankly in order to have a place in front of the queen, he might agree to accept and negotiate a suitable price, but the other party did not in the end—not only that, but he also committed two big taboos:

The first is, try to hurt your friend.I am about to be an enemy of the Stark family, but it is not so incredible to be an enemy and a friend at the same time. The two sides stand on opposite sides because of different beliefs and interests. This is fate, but I have never had the intention to hurt them. Let alone extermination?

The second is, trying to fool, trick or control yourself.Everyone has some peculiar quirks and sensitivities. Bolton underestimated Iger's mind and pride, and wanted to use his long-running land grant and night watchman... His proud career and hole cards as guns, which is actually more important than Iger's. The previous one is more serious.

Of these two taboos, committing one is enough to make Iger fly into a rage and turn his face away, but now the old skinner commits both, which completely makes him murderous.

The outrageous anger climbed to the peak in an instant and went straight to the clouds, but fell into the abyss called rationality in an instant.After adjusting his breathing rhythm and taking a long breath to relieve his emotions, Iger smiled and nodded to Jon: "Okay, I understand the general situation of the meeting in Winterfell. Let's not discuss this shit anymore. You have completed the task of going south very well. You have collected so many dragon crystals and saltpeter in such a short period of time and arranged to transport them back to the gift land. I can imagine how hard it is. Rest in Houguan Town for a day, and then go back Castle Black, continue to perform your duties as a commander... By the way, since you are all here, it saves me from sending another order to Castle Black: In this upcoming expedition, I hope you can lead all the troops in Castle Black. Night watchman, go out first and serve as the vanguard of the central army. If there is no doubt, get ready when you go back."

The so-called "vanguard of the expeditionary force" is of course a cover. The real purpose of this arrangement is to temporarily exile those night watchmen who have the motivation and ability to initiate incidents to shake their own rule, so that the grant land can safely pass through their "rate of war". The most dangerous and unstable window period is the first short period before the army leaves Houguan Town" and "settled the northern border and officially started the southern expedition".And to make this seem real, there is no better way than letting the supreme commanders of the fortresses be the leaders—even though Jon didn't think Jon would betray him, Iger still made such an arrangement.

He was ready to face doubts and questions, and he had thought about the thinking and rhetoric of fooling Jon to persuade him to accept the order, but the other party's performance was a bit different from what he expected.

Facing this sudden appointment, Jon didn't say anything, just simply said "um", and then sat in his seat with a frown furrowed without saying a word, with a hesitant expression written on his face, as if Is strongly troubled by some big problem.

"Is there any other question?" Iger asked gently, but he was a little vigilant because of the abnormality of the other party, and couldn't help but glance at the direction of the sword handle under the table.

Because he believed that Jon would not harm him, Iger did not bring anyone to accompany him during this meeting, but if he made a mistake in his judgment, this kid was actually...

"No..." Jon blurted out, but quickly shook his head as if he had made up his mind, "No, actually!"

He took a deep breath: "My lord, you know, I am the illegitimate son born of my father Ed Stark who crossed the line with an unknown woman in the south when he went south to participate in the Snatcher War. The product of hope and sin. Everyone, myself included, has believed this for years...but not long ago, someone I respect very much told me that it is not so."

This passage was thoughtless and without any substantive content, but Iger instantly realized what happened... His pupils dilated and he cursed secretly.

I am sloppy!

Chapter 477 Little Brother's Confusion

Green Prophet Bran's feigning death in lowering his sense of existence was so successful that Iger would have almost forgotten about him if it wasn't for Jon Snow's sudden visit and confession today.

But now, Iger, the faithful little brother, told him the whole story of Catelyn Stark's coming to Castle Black and telling him the truth about her life experience, and sincerely expressed his trust to his trusted big brother and commander-in-chief. Ask for advice.

"Mrs. Caitlin said that it was Bran who said it, and everyone knows that my younger brother, since returning to the land-grant after his trip outside the Wall, has become weird at the same time, but he has things like seeing the past and the distance. The ability to find out what happened." After opening the chatterbox, Jon stopped coddling, and poured out all the things that were stuffed in his heart, "If this story is true, then Queen Daenerys...is me My dear aunt, my last relative in this world. But now I don’t know: whether I should recognize her, how, when and where!”

……

Of course Iger knew all about Jon's life experience, but he didn't expect that he already knew it himself.The latter sincerely asked the former for help, but did not realize that what he said was actually seriously threatening the cause Iger was fighting for!

After the initial surprise, Iger pretended to listen carefully to Jon's story he already knew, while coordinating with a shocking expression - at the same time, he was thinking about how to deal with this unexpected situation so as to influence him. and minimize possible hazards.

How much adverse effect "Son of Rhaegar Targaryen" has on Daenerys Targaryen's line of succession and the legitimacy of her rule is something that anyone can figure out, so I don't need to go into details.But apart from this core reason, there are actually more reasons that are not humane, which makes Iger actually hope that the mystery of Jon's life experience can be buried forever.

Daenerys has an inexplicable deterrent force and attractiveness that can induce men's impulses, and these two temperaments are not transformed from the title of "queen" and the appearance of "the most beautiful in the world", but actually exist and It radiated directly from her... Iger asked many people around him and confirmed this, excluding the possibility of his personal illusion.

Since the women of the Targaryen family have a special attraction to men, Iger obviously has reason to worry: Jon, who also has Targaryen blood, will have the same effect on women... and even stronger effects on each other, so that As for the fact that the plot has changed beyond recognition, he and Daenerys can still look at each other as soon as they meet!

Jon, who came to Iger for help, probably didn't realize that his commander-in-chief was careful to avoid giving him the opportunity to contact Daenerys from the beginning to the end.

Not only because there is no "king" in Iger's blueprint for Westeros, but also because of a male instinct to possess and control-he doesn't want the pair of Jon and Daenerys in the original plot The ice and fire partners met and fell in love with each other at first sight, and quickly hooked up with each other, which caused major changes in their plans, and at the same time lost the chance to get the queen!

So far, it's been working fairly well.But right now, the bastard Green Prophet, for some unknown reason or purpose, told him about Jon's life experience through the mouth of Catelyn Tully!

Fortunately, he has a close relationship with Jon, and he chose to come to him for help instead of talking to himself... Otherwise, it would lead to a complete and multiple disaster, which was out of control.

Fortunately, fortunately, the real problem is in front of him: as the commander-in-chief, he naturally has the right to transfer the commander of Castle Black to this place, to drive there... Ingeniously but indistinctly, Jon has never had a relationship with the queen. Face to face; but as a friend and trusted big brother, what reason does he have to prevent a nephew from recognizing his long-lost aunt?

After being silent and thinking for a while without any pretense, Iger roughly had an idea.

……

"Jon, let me ask you a question first." Iger stared at the other person's eyes and said: "In the far south, there is obviously a brother with the same name and father as you, who is fighting with history with the support of the Golden Group." King Tanis, why do you say 'Daenerys is your last kin'?"

"But isn't that Aegon fake?" Jon replied without hesitation, obviously thinking about this question a long time ago: "The Golden Group was kicked out of Westeros by the Targaryen family, and they have persisted in resisting for so many years. How could he kindly come to support a Targaryen to regain the throne? It's clear that he wants to take advantage of the chaos!"

"That's right, he's a fake, everyone thinks so. Because his words are baseless and he can't produce any evidence." This answer hit Iger's heart, he agreed loudly, and followed the young man's words Continue to ask: "Then here comes the question, Jon... No, Aegon——Is there any other difference between you and the other Aegon in the south, except for the witness of a Green Seer?"

"What reason does Bran have to lie about this?"

"Bran has no reason to lie, but how many people in the Seven Kingdoms know him and recognize him as the Green Prophet?" Iger asked back, "You didn't understand me at all, I'm not doubting you, but pointing out a fact : You are like that little Aegon in the south, you have no evidence to prove your identity except witnesses! Madam Stark believes it is true, and you and I believe it is true, because we have all seen it Your brother Bran's skills... But the fact is: ninety-nine out of ten people in the Seven Kingdoms have never heard of the existence of the Green Seer. If you suddenly stand up now and claim that you are the son of Rhaegar Targaryen, She is the queen's nephew, and I assure you: she will never have the slightest joy of being reunited with her loved ones, she will only feel 'hmph, another liar who covets my throne and wants to fish in troubled waters has appeared'."
