Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 176 Negotiations
The wind was so strong that it blew the flags into a crackling sound.

The iceland wolves seem to be running hard, one, two
The arrival of Stark caused cheers on the Great Wall.

"Jon." Pip patted Jon who was stunned.

When Jon reacted, he couldn't help crying.

Father finally came, how much he missed him these days, Jon wanted to talk to him and listen to his teachings to himself.

He quickly came to the iron cage, his mood fluctuating, and he thought in his heart as the iron cage descended: Will Robb come with him?I heard that my brother once led the army in the south and defeated Tywin.

He wanted to look like a grown-up, but the closer he got, the more impatient his heart became.

Yes, he saw that figure.

Duke Eddard was riding on a northern warhorse, and the first thing that caught his eye was the graying hair and beard. He looked much thinner than Jon remembered, and the serious and melancholy face in his memory was also old. Too bad, if Jon remembered correctly, his father was under forty.

He looked at his father in pain, and he found that his father's face was full of vicissitudes and emaciation.At this moment, he suddenly realized that Master Ed was not as tall and mighty as he had imagined.

Several northern soldiers stopped him. These people made Jon feel strange. Besides Sir Rodrik, they were all new faces beside his father. No matter where he went, his father always took Jory Cassel with him. , but this time Jory was nowhere to be seen.

There are also many knights he is familiar with, but Jon has not seen them.

"Father!" He shouted, attracting Lord Ed's attention.

"Jon?" Ed was about to dismount when a servant came to help him.

Only then did Jon realize that his father's leg was actually limp, and he wondered in his heart, "Who hurt him?"

The guard who held him back let him go, and his father walked towards Jon, half dragging his leg.

There was a thick hug between father and son. He saw the smile on Duke Ed's face. His father grabbed his shoulders, looked him up and down, and said, "That's right, I've grown up."

He's so thin, Jon thought.Father is much thinner than he looks.

"Father, your leg?" Jon asked him.They are now a crippled father and son, but the father's injury looks much worse than his.

Ed just shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine, and he was always reluctant to bring his worries to the children.

But Maester Luwin told him that the leg was not fit for battle on horseback.

In the decisive battle with Lando Tarly's army in the riverlands, he was dragged down by this leg and missed the best opportunity. He fell from his horse, and when the soldiers saw their leader had fallen At that time, he had no intention of charging forward at all.

Ed's father once told him that if you want people to fight for you, you can't hide in a castle.

Kate persuaded him to let Rodrik lead the army to support the Night's Watch, but Ed still insisted on coming.

"Tell me about the Night's Watch," his father asked him, as they walked side by side.

Ed also discovered Jon's leg injury, so he asked eagerly, "How did you get hurt?"

"Father, Maester Aemon has healed me."

They heard the sound of horns on the Great Wall, and it was obviously not the time for father and son to talk.

Jon told his father everything he knew.

Ed only brought 1000 men, but with the thousand soldiers from the north and the [-]-foot Great Wall, it was enough to resist the wildlings.

Mance Rayder's army retreated, and when the gray wolf banner was planted on the Wall, he knew he had no chance.

But the wildling army seemed unwilling to go back. Mance Rayder looked at the towering ice wall. Once upon a time, he was also a member standing on the wall. He grew up among the night watchmen and knew every stone and stone there. wood.

The ghost forest is covered with ice and snow, he knows what will be the result of their return, those dead people are coming.

8000 years ago, those monsters came to the world for the first time. In the stories passed down by the ancestors outside the Great Wall, there are far more details about the strange ghosts than the records in the Seven Kingdoms.

They have been passed down orally from generation to generation, as figures of this monster appear from time to time.

He once looked for the magical object "Horn of Winter" owned by Joman, the King Beyond the Wall 1000 years ago.The King in the North and the King Beyond the Wall defeated the Night King 1000 years ago.

Legend has it that the Horn of Winter can summon the savages sleeping underground.

Mance had had high hopes for this Horn of Winter, hoping to use it to defeat these dead men, but no matter how many graves he dug under the Frostfang Glacier, he couldn't find any trace of it.

----

After the army of wildlings retreated, Snow came down the Great Wall, and he was going to meet his father.

Lord Eddard lives in the King's Tower, Lord Commander Mormont's chambers.

When he got here, they told him that his father was at the crow's nest, and Jon had to go to the crow's nest, and the pain in his leg was still painful when he pulled it.

He went into the nest and heard his father talking to Maester Aemon.

"Father, Maester Aemon." He came over to the fire.

"Come here, child. Your father is very concerned about your injury," Maester Aemon told him.

"Sit down, I know you have a lot of questions to ask, and I'll tell you the truth," he heard his father say.

Jon's heart trembled for a moment. In fact, he always wanted to ask his father, who is his mother?where is she

"Father, Robb and Arya they" he didn't ask himself first.

Ed sighed, Robb was now leading the army to confront Lando Tarly's army in the Neck, and Arya had disappeared now, and he was worried that his little daughter would fall into the hands of the enemy.

Sansa, Bran, Rickon, and Jon's brothers and sisters disappeared one by one, which made his heart feel extremely heavy.

"Lord Ed." A knight pushed open the door of the crow's nest and hurried in.

He disrupted the conversation between father and son, and the knight said to the three: "Mance Rayder, the king of the wildlings, has sent a message. He hopes to negotiate with you."

"negotiation?"

"Yes, the rumorers say, they have news of Benjen Stark," said the knight.

Jon saw his father frown.Uncle Bunyan has not returned since leaving the Great Wall. One of the purposes of Xiong Lao's ranger expedition is to find out where his uncle disappeared.

"Where is the negotiation venue?" Sir Ed asked.

"Outside the Wall," said the knight.

Ed was lost in thought, and he asked the bachelor, "Is there any news about Bunyan?"

"My lord, after Benjen Stark left the Great Wall, he never returned to the Great Wall. Commander Mormont sent people to look for him, but the people he sent never returned."
