Sorry for the long wait for the good update. Since I have promised to finish the series, I recently sorted out my thoughts carefully and decided not to write in the order of each book. Since I named this series Panoramic Dialysis a long time ago, I should analyze the whole story of "Ice and Fire" from a broader perspective. On the one hand, we can stop repeating the plots that have been played in those TV series, and on the other hand, we can avoid unnecessary spoilers. In the end, all I can do is to start from the original point of view, and let Ice and Fire fans see the larger structure outside the series, as well as the hidden connections behind the many characters, families, histories, and battles. The theme of this issue is history—that is, what happened before the opening point of Ice and Fire. (Some of the content in the second part is repeated, because I didn't have the current thinking when I wrote the second part, please forgive me) These background stories are gradually revealed in the book, and the episodes are due to the length of the episode. The relationship has been omitted a lot, so that many fans of the show are more and more confused about the direction. I hope my analysis of "Before the Beginning" can answer some of your doubts. Now, let's take a look at what happened in the various areas and families before the opening - Robert Baratheon took his wife and children to Winterfell. in King's Landing s Landing) As we said in the last issue, the Targaryens are descended from nobles from Valyria. Since the Dragon King Aegon I and his two sisters and wives set off from Dragonstone on a dragon, they gradually relied on the power of dragons to conquer all of Westeros (except Dorne) and established a unified Targaryen Dynasty . Aegon I was also called "Aegon the Conqueror". In order to maintain a pure bloodline, the dragon family has long insisted on consanguineous marriage (usually immediate relatives, such as the union of brothers and sisters), so many of the family's descendants carry "crazy" genes. He is extremely paranoid, cruel and capricious, and has a morbid fascination with fire and dragons. King Aerion, known as "Bright Flame", drank a whole pot of "Wildfire" in order to turn himself into a dragon (the Wildfire is the one that burned Stannis' entire fleet to ashes at the end of season two. an inextinguishable fire). Controlled by this genetic gene, the last dragon king on the Iron Throne, Aerys II Targaryen, had the "Mad King" (Mad King) King), who likes to burn the living the most. Aerys was arranged by his father Jaehaerys II Targaryen to marry his own sister, Leyla, and soon their first child, Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, was born. On the day of Prince Rhaegar's birth, the Dragon Clan's Summer Palace was on fire, killing Aegon V Targaryen V (grandfather of Aerys) and his eldest son, Prince Duncan. After the tragedy, Jaehaerys II Targaryen came to the throne, but he died of illness after only three years on the throne, and Aerys succeeded his father's throne. The mad king was not crazy at the beginning of his accession, but a monarch who strived for innovation and made great achievements. It was also at this stage that he befriended Tywin Lannister and appointed young Tywin as his "Hand of the King". At this stage, the two jointly maintained the prosperity of Westeros. As Aerys grew older, he gradually became suspicious. On the one hand, he became more and more afraid of Lord Tywin, and on the other hand, he also began to suspect that Prince Rhaegar had the intention of rebelling. At the same time, his marriage to Queen Leyla was unhappy because Leyla never gave birth to a new member of the royal family after Prince Rhaegar. He has always coveted the beauty of Tywin's wife, Joanna Lannister, and often offended Joanna in public and humiliated Tywin. Until Joanna died after giving birth to Tyrion, the friendship between Aerys and Tywin was dead in name only. When Aerys was 34 years old, Queen Leyla gave birth to his second prince, Viserys Targaryen, who was alive and healthy. At the Tournament to celebrate the birth of the prince, Tywin proposed to Aerys that his daughter Cersei be betrothed to Prince Rhaegar as queen, and his son Jaime to be Rhaegar's squire. But Aerys, fearful of Tywin's growing prestige and power, declined the request. Two years later, Aerys married Princess Ilya Martell of Dorne for Prince Rhaegar, further escalating his conflict with Tywin. in Duskdale (Duskendale) Duskendale is a large town directly under the Crown. Towards the end of the year of Prince Viserys' birth, Lord Dennis Darklin, then Lord of Duskdale, stopped taxing the Iron Throne and requested an interview with the King to resolve the dispute. Originally, the rational decision should have been a tough refusal, but in order to contradict Tywin, Aerys brought a small team of guards and went to Duskvale City to shout at Earl Dennis. Earl Dennis was in chaos, and had to capture Aerys and imprisoned him in Duskdale. Aerys was imprisoned in Duskvale for half a year, until Kingsguard Barristan Selmy sneaked into Duskvale at night to rescue him, and the "Twilight Rebellion" ended. Half a year of captivity has completely awakened the crazy genes in Ailes. Since then, he has begun to doubt everyone, including his wife and son, and like his ancestors, he is obsessed with "wildfire". It was also at this stage that he heard about Varys' intelligence talents and summoned him from the Free Cities to King's Landing to gather intelligence on everyone else for himself.

Located in the Riverlands, Harrenhal is the largest castle in the Seven Kingdoms, built before the Targaryen Conquest. When the Mad King was 39 years old, the He'an family held a grand competition in Harrenhal, and the prominent families of the seven kingdoms came one after another. Originally from the Rebellion in Duskdale, Aerys was determined not to take a step out of the Red Keep, but Invaris reported to him that Prince Rhaegar would use the Tournament to incite the rebellion of the great lords, and the Mad King went to Heron for the first time. Fort to watch the tournament. There were two major events at the tournament. The first was Aerys' inauguration at Harrenhal, conferring Jaime Lannister as the Kingsguard. The Kingsguard is a supreme honor for knights, but anyone who joins the Kingsguard will not be allowed to marry and have children for life. This move will undoubtedly deprive the Lannister family of heirs. In a fit of rage, Tywin resigned from Hand of the King, left King's Landing, and returned to Casterly Rock. Another thing is the fuse of the "Usurper War" later. Before the Tournament, Lyanna Stark (Sister of Eddard Stark) wept as Prince Rhaegar played, Rhaegar also fell in love with Lyanna Stark. In the contest, Prince Rhaegar won the final victory. According to custom, the victor can present "the blue rose wreath of the queen of love and beauty" to a lady, while Prince Rhaegar, who had a son and a daughter at this time, did not present the wreath to Queen Elia, but He carried the wreath with a spear and placed it on Lyanna Stark's lap. Lyanna, who is already Robert Baratheon's fiancée, is in the spotlight.

Landing) Tournament at the end of the same year, Prince Rhaegar and Lyanna met again in Harrenhal and took her away. Rumors have it that Lyanna was kidnapped by Prince Rhaegar. Upon hearing the news, Brandon Stark, the eldest son and heir of the Stark family, immediately diverted to King's Landing (he was on his way to get married in Riverrun) and rushed into the Red Keep to demand Rhaegar's release. However, Rhaegar was not in King's Landing at this time, and Brandon was immediately arrested by the Mad King for treason, and Rickard Stark, Duke of Winterfell, who was later summoned to the palace, was also arrested. Duke Rickard's request for a trial by combat was granted. But then he was hanged by Aerys in armor and burned at the stake. The Mad King forced Brandon to watch the burning, and at the same time wrapped Brandon around his neck with a leather rope, and placed a long sword slightly beyond the range of his arms. Brandon struggled to take the sword to save his father, and finally Also strangled with ropes. Jon Arryn, Duke of the Eyrie, who guarded the east in Eyrie, adopted Ned Stark and Robert Baratheon as his adopted sons at an early age. Ned and Robert, who grew up together in the Eagle's Nest, see each other as brothers, and Jon Arryn, who has never had children, sees them as sons. Not content with killing Duke Rickard and his heir Brandon, the Mad King, who thought everyone was a rebel, demanded that Jon hand over Duke Rickard's second son, Ned Stark. Jon, who realized that the Mad King had lost his mind, refused Aerys's request and, as the leader, joined the four major families of Stark, Baratheon, Arryn and Tully to raise a plan to overthrow the Targaryen family. flag of treason. In the Riverlands (Riverlands) Lord Horst Tully, Lord of the Riverlands, participated in the "Battle of the Nine Bronze Kings" when he was young, and met the father of "Littlefinger" Petyr Baelish during the war. Adopt Littlefinger as his adopted son and bring him back to Riverrun to raise him. Growing up with Duke Tully's three children, Catelyn, Lysa and Edmure, Petyr adores Catelyn as much as Lysa adores him. This love triangle continued until Duke Tully betrothed Catelyn to Winterfell's heir, Brandon Stark. After learning of the news, Petyr challenged Brandon to a joust and was wounded. Just when he was so depressed and drunk, Lysa Tully volunteered, and Petyr mistook Lysa for Caitlin and had a relationship with her. Lysa lost her virginity and became pregnant. Duke Tully found out that he expelled Petyr from Riverrun and forced Lysa to have an abortion. Although Littlefinger has never returned to Riverrun, he has always kept in touch with Ryza, and eventually used Ryza to become a big boss who can stir up the political situation in the Seven Kingdoms. Brandon Stark by the Mad King After the execution, in order to obtain the support of the Tully family, Jon Arryn mediated through it, and finally reached an agreement that Ned would replace Brandon to marry Catelyn (anyway, Ned was already the heir of Winterfell at this time), and he himself Two political marriages to marry Lysa, who has lost her virginity. As a result, the Tully family also joined the ranks of the rebels. The "Usurper War" has officially started. In the early days of The Trident War, the king's army and the rebel army had their own winners and losers, and the situation was stalemate. When the king's army was defeated at the Holy Stone Hall, Prince Rhaegar returned from Dorne and began to rectify the king's military affairs. Due to Queen Elia's relationship, Dorne also sent 10,000 troops to assist the king's army. At the same time, Rhaegar finally persuaded the Mad King to seek help from Duke Tywin in Casterly Rock. Soon after, the Wang army and the rebel army assembled at the Trident River. The Trident River has important military significance, and once the rebels cross the Trident River, they will directly threaten King's Landing. The two sides fought bloody battles here, and in the end, because Robert killed Rhaegar with a heavy hammer in a one-on-one duel with Prince Rhaegar, the king's army without a coach scattered and fled. in Storm's End s End) The "Battle of the Trident River" completely turned the tide of the battle. Wang Jun could no longer have a chance to prevent the insurgent army from heading south. The only remaining troops were used to besiege Robert's hometown, the Storm of the Storm. The capital city "Storm's End". At this time, Robert's second brother, Stannis, was sitting in Storm's End. He was serious and ruthless since he was a child, and he regarded rules above all else. He was also an experienced military commander. Within a year of Duke Tyrell's army besieging Storm's End in the Reach, Stannis refused to surrender. In order to satisfy his hunger, the defenders killed all the animals that could be eaten in the city, and even ate the dead bodies of fallen soldiers. . During this period, the crisis in Storm's End was temporarily relieved thanks to the successful smuggling of onions and salted fish into the city by smuggler Davos Seaworth. That's why Davos Seaworth was called "The Onion Knight" after being knighted. Many people think that Stannis' refusal to surrender is because of his "death-reasoning" character. In fact, "Storm's End Siege" not only reflects his extraordinary tenacity, but also proves that he is an excellent wartime commander. . Stannis knew very well that once Storm's End was captured, Robert's family and the family and relatives of the great lords of the Stormlands would be captured by the king's army, and the Mad King would use them as hostages to force Robert to surrender. In the end, not only the entire rebel army will be subject to the king's army, but the Baratheon family will repeat the mistakes of Duke Rickard and Brandon. At that time, the Tyrell family, who belonged to the king's army, came up with this idea, but they didn't expect the young Stannis to be so determined. "Up Robert killed Rhaegar. Although Stannis did not participate in the "Usurper War" on the frontal battlefield, his decision to defend Storm's End was also the key reason why the rebels could win the final victory. Therefore, when Robert took the Iron Throne and only gave Dragonstone to Stannis, and gave Storm's End, the hereditary domain of the Baratheon family to his third brother Renly, Stannis's heart was Outrage and dissatisfaction are understandable. in Casterly After his beloved wife Joanna died in childbirth, Duke Tywin never smiled again, and his friendship with Aerys came to an end. However, he still kept a clear head and did not turn against the Mad King, in order to bring more stable power to the Lannister family through marriage. Tywin's original plan was to betroth Cersei to Prince Rhaegar and to have Jaime marry Lysa, Duke Tully's second daughter. Unexpectedly, not only did the Mad King refuse his marriage proposal, but Cersei and Jaime also thwarted his plans. The dragon and the phoenix have been intimate since childhood, and there are signs of incest very early. After learning that his father wanted him to marry Lysa, James was reluctant because he loved his own sister. Cersei does love Prince Rhaegar, but she doesn't want to let Jaime go. So Cersei seduces Jaime into having sex with her, and convinces Jaime to ask to join the Kingsguard so that Jaime doesn't have to marry another wife and can live in King's Landing with her now-queen self. In the end, none of the Lannisters could do so, and Aerys married Princess Elia from Dorne for Rhaegar, and made Jaime one of the Seven Kingsguards. Duke Tywin resigned from the King's Hand in a rage and took Cersei back to Casterly Rock, while Jaime, who wanted to be with his sister, stayed in King's Landing alone. After the "Usurper's War" began, although Tywin received repeated letters of help from King's Landing, he never responded. Until Rhaegar died in the Trident River, the situation gradually became clear. Duke Tywin personally led a western army of 12,000 people to King's Landing. . in King's Landing Landing, the Mad King, who did not heed Varys' objection, opened the gates to meet Duke Tywin. However, what he ushered in was not the long-awaited reinforcements, but a division of tigers and wolves after assessing the situation. After the Lannister army entered the city, they immediately bloodshed King's Landing. Aerys, who was in complete madness, intended to let the whole King's Landing be buried with him. He ordered the alchemists to light a large number of wildfires that had been buried under King's Landing, and at the same time summoned Jaime to perform the duties of the Iron Guard to kill his father, Duke Tywin. . Of course it was impossible for Jaime to fulfill such an order. He intercepted and killed the Earl of Rossart, who was going to send orders to light the wildfire, and then made the most important decision in his life-breaking the oath of the Kingsguard and killing Aerys II with his own hands. . From then on, no one knew that it was because James intercepted the herald and saved thousands of soldiers and civilians up and down King's Landing. In everyone's eyes, he will always be the treacherous "Kingslayer" (Kingslayer). After Aerys died, the bloodbath continued. On the orders of Duke Tywin, "The Magic Mountain" Gregor Clegane raped and murdered Queen Elia Martell, the widow of Prince Rhaegar in the Red Keep, and brutally killed Rhaegar's son who was still an infant. Aegon; at the same time, Ser Amory Lodge murdered Rhaegar's daughter, Princess Rhaenys, who was only four years old. After the fall of King's Landing, Ned Stark and Jon Arryn made Robert king, with Jon serving as "Hand of the King". In order to stabilize the situation that had just settled down, Jon once again intervened, brokering the marriage of Robert and Cersei, and pardoning Jaime for the crime of killing the king, allowing him to remain as the Kingsguard, in exchange for the support of Duke Tywin . After that, Jon started peace talks with Dorne. In Dorne The Martells of Dorne speak their language - "indomitable". In the history of the dragon family's Westeros campaign, Dorne has never been conquered by force. It was not until Daeron II Targaryen's reign that the Dragon House and the Martell House were married twice, and Dorne was finally included in the territory of the Seven Kingdoms. The Martell family was thus given the privilege of claiming the Iron Throne, but retaining the title of "Prince" used by their ancestors in the city-state of Loina. According to the tradition of the city-state of Loina, the Martell family implements the eldest son and eldest queen succession system regardless of gender. In the early days of the Mad King's reign, Dorne was ruled by the then Queen of Dorne. The Queen of Dorne has three children - the eldest son Doran Martell, the second son Oberon Martell and the youngest daughter Elia Martell. When Queen Dorne was young, she was close friends with the Duke of Tywin's wife, Joanna, and the two had planned to become in-laws, with Oberon marrying Cersei and Elia marrying Jaime. After Joanna's death in childbirth, Queen Dorne takes her With Oberon and Elia coming to Casterly Rock City, they proposed to Duke Tywin, but Tywin refused. Tywin was planning to marry Cersei to Rhaegar in order to strengthen the Lannister family. Later, by accident, Duke Tywin's wishful thinking came to nothing, and Princess Elia became Rhaegar's queen. Therefore, Tywin always had a grudge against Dorn, and condoned his men to brutally kill Princess Elia. After the fall of King's Landing, Princess Elia and her children died tragically in the Red Keep, along with Ser Lewyn Martell (Queen of Dorne), one of the Kingsguards who had previously died resisting the rebels in the "Usurper's War". 's younger brother), Dorne's side was furious. "Red Viper" Oberon Martell did not want to submit to the new dynasty, but hoped to raise the army to establish Viserys Targaryen, the second son of the Mad King, as king. However, Prince Doran, who had already inherited the throne of Dorne at this time, finally agreed to reconcile with the mediation of Jon Arryn and swore allegiance to Robert. Compared with his younger brother Oberon, who is highly skilled in martial arts, Prince Doran suffered from severe gout in middle age and could only travel in a wheelchair. But the seemingly helpless and emotionless ruler of Dorne has never forgotten the tragic sacrifice of the Martell family. After Prince Rhaegar died at the Battle of the Trident on Dragonstone, Aerys hurriedly sent his second son Viserys and pregnant Queen Leyla to Dragonstone. Daenerys Targaryen was born on Dragonstone in a rare storm shortly before the fall of King's Landing, and her mother, Queen Layla, died in childbirth. That same year, when Robert became king in King's Landing, the garrison at Dragonstone planned to surrender to the Iron Throne and hand over the siblings. Fortunately, Ser William Darry, a loyal servant of the Targaryen family, took Dany and the two to escape to the free city of Braavos in advance. Witnessed by Aquaman Braavos in the Free Trade City, Sir William made a secret covenant with Oberon Martell, who was instructed by Prince Doran to come to the Free City in secret - promising that Viserys would marry Prince Doran when he came of age. Arianne Martell, the eldest daughter, and Dorne would then make Viserys king and fight together to retake the Iron Throne. When the aged Sir William died in Braavos a few years later, the Danys were left without support, and had to travel to the nine Free Cities, lobbying for support that would help them return to Westeros. This life continued for several years, until the wealthy governor of Pentos, Illyrio Morpatis, took the Dany brothers and sisters into a mansion, promising to help them regain the Iron Throne. Illyrio and Varys, who were once assassins, became friends when they first met and became rich together, one became the governor of Pantos, and the other went to Westeros to become the intelligence chief of the Iron Throne. The two have bigger ambitions Towards—a new king in Westeros. To accomplish this, they married Dany to Khal Drogo. The plan is to wait for Viserys to marry Princess Arianne, on the one hand, Varys in King's Landing leaking Cersei and Jaime incest and provoking a civil war between the House and Lannister, on the other hand, by Khal Drogo. , the Golden Company, and Dorne joined forces to march on Westeros during the chaos of the Civil War. It was a good plan, but it was stranded by the deaths of Viserys and Khal Drogo. But it turns out that Varys and Illyrio also have a Plan B. As for the Golden Group, this is the largest and most expensive free mercenary group in the free trade city-state. The reason they joined the Westeros war for power was because of one man - Prince Rhaegar's close friend Jon Clinton. The lord of House Clinton was the Earl of Gryphon's Nest, who briefly served as the Hand of the King during the "Usurper's War". After being dismissed and exiled by Aerys, he fled to Essos and joined the Golden Company under the pseudonym Griffin. At the same time, he secretly raises Rhaegar's son Aegon (a surprising reversal, I know). It is said that Varys unwrapped the baby Aegon with an ordinary boy during the fall of King's Landing, and the one killed by the Mountain was actually the fake Aegon. (The thing that Varys said was not recognized by the majority of readers, and there were clues in the follow-up that this child raised by Clinton was not Aegon) In the Tower of Joy, after Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar ran away , and Rhaegar came to the Tower of Bliss in Dorne. After the outbreak of the Usurper's War, Rhaegar returned to King's Landing as head coach, and he assigned three highly skilled Kingsguards, Ser Arthur Dayne, Ser Oswell Riveran and Ser Geral Hightower, to be in Elysium. Tower guards Lyanna. After the war was won, Ned Stark and six other knights found the Tower of Bliss. In this seven-on-three battle, only Ned and Holland Reed (the lord of the North Marsh and father of Jiujian and Mera) survived. Ned met Lyanna dying in the Tower of Elysium, and Lyanna asked Ned to keep a secret before she died. Although this secret has not been released, in fact, it has long been recognized that the so-called secret is Jon Snow's true identity. in the North North) The overall situation finally settled down, and Ned returned to the North with Lyanna's body and his "illegitimate son" Jon Snow. Even though having an illegitimate child was painful for his wife, Caitlin, Ned did not deny the fact that he had sullied his own reputation. When Ned was imprisoned by Cersei in the Red Keep, he kept dreaming about Lyanna, and he regretted not speaking to Jon when he had the chance. in King's Landing s Landing) After Robert sat on the Iron Throne, he handed over the governance of the country to Jon Arryn, the hand of the king. His marriage life with Cersei was not happy, and Robert spent years looking for flowers and willows. Cersei maintained an incestuous relationship with Jaime and gave birth to three of her and Jaime's children - Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen. After five miscarriages, Lysa finally gave birth to Jon Arryn's heir, Robert Arryn. Meanwhile, she has been having an affair with Littlefinger. Lysa persuades Jon Arryn to promote Petyr as tax collector in Seagull Town, and Petyr's talents in money and trade have resulted in a tenfold increase in local tax revenue in a short period of time. After that, Littlefinger was appreciated by Jon and was promoted step by step to become Chancellor of the Iron Throne. Petyr opened brothels in King's Landing to gain information, and used his financial resources to buy off a huge network of connections, secretly cultivating his own political power. A few years after Robert became King of Westeros in the Iron Islands, the Ironborn in the Iron Islands revolted under Lord Balon Greyjoy. The Greyjoys hope to be independent from the notice of the Seven Kingdoms and restore the "Old Path" lost by the Ironborn in the War of Conquest three hundred years ago. The rebellion was quickly suppressed, and Balon had to claim the Iron Throne again. His two sons died in battle, and the only remaining son, Theon Greyjoy, was taken as a hostage by Ned Stark as his adopted son and brought back to Midwinter. City upbringing. at the Great Wall Wall) The Night's Watch on the Wall kept their oath and did not take part in the Usurper Wars. The reason why the Great Wall is mentioned is mainly to talk about Maester Aemon and the Green Prophet Brynden River. Aemon Targaryen was the third son of King Maekar I and the third brother of Aegon V who was burned to death in "The Tragedy of Summerhall". He was Uncle Zeng of Rhaegar and Daenerys. . Because there were already too many adult Targaryen men in the family, Aemon was sent to the Citadel as a young man to become a maester in order to prevent usurpation. Years later, due to the successive deaths of the heirs to the throne in the rebellion, "Duke Bloodraven" Brynden River, then the hand of the king, convened a great council to elect a new king. The Great Council secretly handed the throne to Aemon, but Aemon categorically refused, believing that he was already a maester and that the throne should be succeeded by his younger brother Aegon V. After Aegon V came to the throne, Maester Aemon feared that he would one day be used to usurp his brother's throne, and decided to join the Night's Watch. Before the election of the Great Council, Duke Bloodraven lured a Targaryen bastard who also had the right to the throne to go to King's Landing in order to maintain the peace of the kingdom, and executed him for breaking his promise to protect the bastard. After the new king took office, Aegon V had to arrest Brynden in order to maintain the credibility of the Iron Throne. Brynden chose the latter between being executed and wearing black. As a result, Duke Bloodraven came to the Great Wall of Desperation with Maester Aemon as one of the guards to perform the duties of the Night's Watch. Afterwards, Brynden was elected commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, but he disappeared during a Ranger patrol outside the Siege. Maester Aemon, who has been serving in the Night's Watch, knew the prophecies of the "Son of Prophecy" early on, and maintained correspondence with Rhaegar while he was alive. in King's Landing s Landing) Stannis gradually became suspicious about the origins of Cersei's three children, and he told Jon Arryn of this suspicion, and the two began to investigate together, finally confirming that Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen It's the product of Cersei's incestuous union with Jaime. Jon decides to take action, and intends to send his son Robert Arryn to Dragonstone as an adopted son for Stannis. Unable to accept the separation from her son Robert, Lysa, who sees her as a child, reveals Jon's plan to Littlefinger, who uses Lysa's psychological instructing to poison and murder Jon. After Stannis learns of Jon's death, he suspects that Cersei is worried that the matter will be exposed, and flees from King's Landing back to Dragonstone overnight. The above are the stories of the main families of Westeros before the opening of "Ice and Fire". Knowing these histories, the inexplicable entanglements in those episodes are not so inexplicable. In the next issue, we will talk about some long-formed "conventions" and "traditions" in Westeros, so as to analyze the future fate of some main characters. As usual, I will promote my WeChat public account "Guo Daxia's Jianghu", this series will be updated on the public account, and everyone is welcome to pay attention. The QR code is as follows:
