The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

Hejiandi. Rushing City.

One of the Seven Kingdoms, the land of the river, the land of Lannister to the west, the valley of the Aylin family and the towering Eagle’s Nest city to the east, the north of the Stark family to the north, and the king’s land to the south, Junlin City .

The lord of the riverland is Duke Horst Tuli, and the city where he lives is the home fort of the Tuli family for thousands of years. It was established by Lord Yasser Tuli during the Andal invasion. Panliu City is located on the delta where Tengshi River and Hongcha River intersect. Rushing City is a triangular castle built according to the topography of the delta.

Lord Horst Tully, Lord of Rushing City, is the king of the river.

He is the father-in-law of Ed Stark, the lord of the North, the grandfather of Robb Stark, and the father of Caitlin Stark; he is also the father-in-law of Jon Ailin, the hand of the former king of the East, The biological father of the current lord of Ailin Valley and Eagle's Nest, Lysa Tuli.

Lysa Tully is the second daughter of Duke Horst Tully and the younger sister of Caitlin.

The Tuli family has been in charge of Hejiandi for more than a thousand years and is an ancient family with deep roots.

The castle faces two rivers, the Tengshi River to the north and the Hongcha River tributaries to the south. The Tengshi River and the Hongcha River tributaries flow through the city on both sides and meet at the Hongcha River in front of the triangle tip of the city. The Red Fork River flows eastward and eventually converges with the Blue Fork River and the Green Fork River. This is the origin of the famous Trident River. Finally, the three rivers merge into one, flow into Crab Bay through Yantang Town, and return to the sea.

There is a large man-made trench to the west of Benliu City. When it is attacked, the sluices on the north and the south are opened to release the water. In a short while, the river fills the entire trench, turning the castle into a small island surrounded by water and indestructible.

The castle has a sandstone wall rising from the water, the battlements are castellated and arrow holes, and the tower fire covers the opposite bank of the North River. There is a fortress in the city, and supplies can sustain people and horses for up to two years. Usually, guards with more than two hundred people seem superfluous.

The main fort of Rushing City, like Rushing City itself, is also triangular. Duke Horst Tully’s room is also triangular, with a balcony protruding eastward outside the room. This balcony is also triangular, just like the bow of a huge triangular battleship. The balcony is reached by a spiral indoor staircase, standing on the balcony, overlooking the scenery of the Shuanghe Valley and the river, overlooking the castle and the guards on the city wall.

At this time, Catelyn’s younger brother, Sir Edmund Tully, the in-line heir of Runaway City, was standing on the balcony, in front of his father, Duke Horst Tully.

The Duke was half lying and half sitting on the bed. He was tall and big. He was a strong old man. When he was young, he was militant and martial artist. He participated in many famous battles and participated in many times, but now he was pale. There were old age spots on his face and hands, his red hair had turned grayish white, and his blue eyes were dull.

The Duke has been ill for more than a year. He suffered a stroke and was unable to get up. Half of his body was paralyzed in the bed, but he liked to bask in the sun, watch the ships on the river come and go, and watch the soldiers walking around on the walls.

"Father, Lord Will, the leader of the night watchman, wants to come up and see you." Edmund whispered.

"Master Will?" The Duke's lips barely moved.

"Yes, father. He is a friend of Robb Stark and the leader of the Night Watch on the Great Wall of Impasse. He said he is proficient in medicine and he hopes to come up and help you see your illness."

Night watchman? see a doctor?

"Is he a student of Bachelor Yimon?"

"No, father."

The Duke stopped speaking, his eyes turned to the river in the distance, and a small boat went down the river, bypassing the boulders in the river, and flowed down like an arrow.

"Yes, father. You have a good rest." Edmund understood what his father meant, and he didn't want to see the night watchman Will.

Father has a Bachelor of Wayman special care.

The bachelor was sent from the Old Town School in Dorn. He is proficient in many kinds of knowledge and is also a doctor.

The Duke closed his eyes and felt tired.

Today he saw Robb Stark, Kate’s eldest child, and he was very happy and excited. Back then, when Caitlin left with the child, the child was still a babbling little guy. Now, he has grown into a very powerful young master, a real warrior.

Robb Stark inherited the red hair and blue eyes of the Tuley family, which made the Duke very pleased.

The Duke’s eyes were poisonous, and he knew Robb Stark had grown up, not physically, but mentally. He talked with Robb for a long time, which also made him consume a lot of energy. When he calmed down, his fatigue was drowned like a river.

I don't know how long it took, the Duke felt that someone was moving his hand, and someone was whispering in his ear. I must be dreaming again, he thought, Lysa, can you forgive me? He was confused.

For a long time, he needed to rely on the dream wine and poppy flower milk prepared by Master Weiman to dream, but today this good sleep did not rely on the dream wine and poppy flower milk. He was happy to talk to Robb Stark and was overdrawn. Physical strength, so I slept deeply.

It's been a long time since he relied on his body's autonomy to fall asleep. He used Master Weiman's poppy milk or dream wine.

This surprised the Duke slightly, and then he opened his eyes.

He saw a stranger with a good temperament, black eyes and black hair, his eyes were like bright stars. Then the Duke saw him in black.

Beside this good-natured man in black, there stood Robb Stark, Edmund Tully, and Master Weiman.

Master Wyman came up and patted the Duke's hand lightly: "Master Horst, awake. This is Master Will, the chosen one among the night watchmen." Master Wyman's tone was particularly aggravated. Those who choose, the language contains a little irony.

The Old Town School is the largest religious association in the Seven Kingdoms, and they are contemptuous of the other so-called Chosen people. The school used to have armed forces, the theological power of the seven countries is the first, and the military strength is also very strong.

The Duke's eyes rounded Edmund, and Robb Stark said hurriedly: "Grandpa, I asked Uncle Will to bring Lord Will to see you."

The Duke smiled, he always loved Robb Stark generously. And for Edmund Tully, this mighty man with reddish brown hair and a red beard (not mighty or beard in the TV series) is not satisfied. Edmund Tully was not young, but he acted immaturely. He acted rashly and greedily. He had fun with a group of aristocratic dudes and was not doing business. The Duke was not satisfied with his son.

Will smiled, the night watchman didn't look unpleasant, his calm temperament faintly surpassed Robb Stark.

"Master Horst, when you were asleep, I had seen your bed sores and I also gave you the context. From the mouths of Master Edmund and Master Weiman, I already know your condition. I already know There are two causes of your disease, one is heart disease: Tansy, and the other is irregular diet: meat and alcohol, especially because your drinking is the most violent. Believe it or not, I can cure your disease."

The Duke was shocked! No one told him what he was up to, he was ashamed and angry, and he was hard to tell. How did the man in black know Will?

However, Master Weiman's face changed slightly. Due to Robb Stark and Edmund's insistence on inviting Will to come to see the doctor earlier, his mouth opened and finally closed.

Master Weiman knew that Lord Duke’s disease could not be cured by currently known medical techniques. He could only fall asleep through dream wine and relieve his pain and numbness through poppy flower milk.
