Chapter 267

The night was deep.

The cold wind howled in the wilderness.

Winter season.

The weather temperature on the east coast of Westeros is much warmer than Winterfell even if it is warmer than that in the north.

But winter nights are still bitterly cold.

In the dim yellow light of the fire.

Morgan looked at the back of Gondor Kerrigan, the hound, leaving. After thinking for a while, his eyes were distracted.

Then he got up and simply cleaned up the grill.

It was late at night.

Except for soldiers patrolling outside the temporary rest camp.

Most of the others have fallen asleep.

Morgan cleaned up and moved the bonfire in front of him. After adding some dry firewood, he leaned his back against the root of the lonely tree behind him. He simply covered himself with a thick blanket and began to sleep.

I just didn't sleep long this time.

When the first dull thunder suddenly sounded in the sky at night.

Morgan opened his eyes from his sleep.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

The muffled thunder came from a distance in the dark sky.

With the dull thunder.

There were one or two dazzling flashes of lightning across the dark night sky.

Such thunder and lightning weather is not common in winter.

It used to appear in other seasons.

This is a sign before the heavy rain comes.

But in winter, that's the sign before the wind and snow.

It's not like ordinary wind and snow.

"Hoo Hoo..."

The cold wind howled across the huge temporary camp.

At this moment, it was not just Morgan who woke up.

There are also a large number of vigilant team members and a small number of team members who don't sleep well.

"Your Excellency Morgan..."

"Lord Morgan..."

At this time, Joe Li, the vice captain of the South guard, and several guard soldiers came quickly to Morgan.

"Where's Kelsen?"

Morgan got up, looked at the leading middle-aged guard coming up and asked.

"The Kelsen team is on the Duke's side."

Vice captain Jory answered immediately.

"Well, Joey, you walk with me..."

"Bolen, you guys go to the back and find me a tent."

"It looks like it's going to snow in this weather..."

Morgan nodded, greeted the soldiers in front of him, raised his feet and walked to the rest carriage of Sansa stark and Elia stark.

Such weather is somewhat unusual.

It's safer to see.

Morgan thought to himself that he promised ed stark to look after their two daughters. Of course, he must protect each other.

Morgan strode away.

Vice captain Joe quickly followed.

Several other soldiers immediately followed Morgan's orders and walked quickly to the material carriage behind the convoy.

There are many guards in this huge temporary team.

But the king's guard accounted for the vast majority.

Moreover, the guards have been patrolled by a large number of King's guards.

However, the team is very large and the distance is not short.

Although the king's guard will protect the whole team, the king, Queen and a group of important nobles in King's landing city are their key protection objects.

In contrast, the people in Lindong city are naturally much worse.

And these days.

Cersei Lannister, the queen of the Lannister family, seems to be dissatisfied with ED stark, Duke of Winterfell.

Along with many people born in Kaiyan City, the guards under the king have a general attitude towards the personnel of Winterfell city.

There is King Robert baratheon.

No one dares to do anything.

However, personal likes and dislikes can not be avoided.

Morgan tasted these details early.

Just a little more concerned about the safety of the two Starks.

But this time it was just a sudden change of weather.

Morgan couldn't find any hidden dangers.

When I returned to my house under the tree.

Several guards have set up Morgan's personal tent.

Morgan didn't say anything. That's what these soldiers should do.

He was just in trouble.

But now it can't be snowy at night.

Although his body can carry it, he doesn't want to suffer that crime.

Nodded to the soldiers. Morgan gave orders to vice captain Jory. Jory took the soldiers away.

At this time.

In the howling cold wind.

Snowflakes have begun to fall in the sky.

Morgan stirred up the bonfire again.

Then he got into the tent.

Morgan slept soundly.

When I woke up again, it was already light.

Just the moment you open the tent.

He knew that the team would not reach Junlin city today.

"Hoo Hoo..."

Outside the tent, the campfire had already been extinguished, the sky was gloomy, the wind and snow roared, and it was difficult to see the road a few meters away.

In such a snowstorm.

It's impossible for the team to move on.

"I can have a good rest all day..."

Morgan suddenly thought and walked out of the tent.

In half an hour.

A spacious tent surrounded by several tents.

The bonfire is warm.

Ed stark sat on the main seat, surrounded by Sansa, Elia, two stark family ladies, Morgan, guard captain Kelsen, vice captain Joey, a female officer who followed, and several named managers.

Duke ed finished the last lamb chop on the plate, put down the tableware, picked up the tablecloth to wipe his mouth, looked up at the people in front of the table and said, "today, we must not be in Junlin city. When will the storm stop and when will we start again..."

"You go back and perform your duties..."

"Sansa, Elia, you can go back and stay here if you feel bored..."

"Morgan, Kelsen..."

After some orders.

After breakfast, Morgan returned to his tent again.

Months of journey down.

Although there is no danger, food, accommodation and rest are in the wild, and physical and mental fatigue is inevitable.

It snowed all day and night.

It didn't stop until the next afternoon.

Morgan thought he could arrive at King's landing safely as in the past three months.

In the afternoon.

A sudden event immediately broke the seemingly calm atmosphere of the whole huge team.

......

"Lord Morgan..."

“......”

"What are you talking about?"

"Say what you just said again?"

At dusk, Morgan, who was personally feeding hay for the orange "Radish" behind the huge team, looked at the panting soldiers and asked in a deep voice.

"Miss Elia is missing..."

"The lannisters are looking for miss..."

The soldier said quickly again.

Morgan heard clearly this time, his face changed slightly, his hand holding the forage stopped immediately, and asked again, "have you informed Lord stark?"

"Already notifying..."

The soldier spoke again.

He stuffed the materials in his hand into his brain bag and rubbed his "Radish" mouth. Morgan immediately untied the reins of the radish.

"Tell me carefully, what's going on?"

"Why are the lannisters in such a hurry to find Miss Elia?"

Morgan took the horse and walked out quickly. The soldier quickly followed and replied, "I don't know the specific situation, but it seems to have something to do with his Highness Prince Geoffrey..."

"Prince Geoffrey..."

Hearing the name, Morgan narrowed his eyes slightly.

The accident two days ago fell behind Prince Geoffrey baratheon's face in public.

After Sandor, the hound, knew each other's plans.

Morgan has been waiting for news from each other.

I just didn't expect that the other party had something to do with aria stark.

"It can't be because of what happened that day. The bear child is angry with Elia..."

"However, with the" culprit "himself, he feels that this possibility may exist, but it should not be large."

"After all, it was his king's father Robert baratheon who said that Sansa stark was going to marry him..."

"Elia Stark is Geoffrey's future sister-in-law..."

Thoughts flashed through my mind.

Morgan, who came to the tent, immediately turned on his horse, looked at the soldiers beside him and said, "where did miss Elia disappear?"

The soldier quickly returned and pointed in one direction: "the forest in the south, which disappeared in the forest near the river..."

The voice just fell.

Morgan, who knew the location, immediately ran out with a strange cry of "Radish".

He ran wildly in the snow half a meter deep.

At the same time.

Dark weeds and dense forests.

Aliya stark was lying in a thorny bush, looking at the cry from the distance ahead, carefully turned her head, looked at the ice wolf beside her and said nervously, "namelia, you must go. You bit Geoffrey. They will not let you go. They will kill you..."

"Go..."

"Let's go!"

Looking at the ice wolf turning back three steps, aliya stark shouted eagerly.

Just didn't go far.

The ice wolf seemed to realize that the owner's situation was wrong, stood in place again and turned to look at the owner.

"Go!"

"Go!"

Hearing the sound coming from the distance getting closer and closer, Elia stark looked eagerly at the ice wolf and roared. She even picked up a stone beside her and threw it at the ice wolf Na Melia.

Aware of the owner's anger, the ice wolf turned uneasily and hesitantly.

Until the master threw the stone again and really felt the master's anger, bingyuanlangna Melia turned and ran towards the deep forest.

But I don't know if it's intentional.

The fleeing figure of Icefield wolf Na Melia runs to the place where there are no bushes and dense forests.

Soon, a cry of surprise came from a distance.

"Look, ice wolf..."

"That's an ice wolf..."

"There is no ice wolf here. It must be the child of the stark family. I know that every child of the stark family has one..."

"The child must be over there. Hurry up..."

"Come on... Run over there, catch up and encircle..."

“......”

Elia stark hid in the forest and watched her love wolf being chased by a group of heavily armed soldiers. She could only look at him with a nervous face and tears in her eyes.

She didn't think about it.

She released the ice wolf that bit Prince Geoffrey baratheon, but what should she do if she hurt Geoffrey herself.

Although his Highness Prince Geoffrey bullied her friend and abused Morgan, he deserved to be beaten.

But after all, the other party is the prince, the eldest son of the king and queen, and the heir to the kingdom.

Time passed slowly.

It's getting darker and darker.

Elia stark hid in the cold grass and dared not move.

But there are more and more soldiers with torches in the distance, and with the other party's carpet search, I'm afraid it won't be long before they can find them here.

Elia Stark's face grew more worried and depressed.

At this moment, she thought of her father, her mother in Winterfell, her illegitimate brother Jon Snow, the swordsman Morgan, and even her sister Sansa stark, who had gone to the Great Wall.

She regretted something.

But he didn't regret hurting Prince Geoffrey.

"No... not here..."

"Look hard, the child can't run..."

"We're after Duke Stark's daughter. Will it be all right?"

"What can I do? Don't you see the blood on his Highness Prince Geoffrey's body and hands?"

"Duke ED is a big man, but there are His Majesty the king and Her Majesty the queen..."

"We execute the order is..."

“......”

In the distance, with the flickering fire approaching, there were bursts of noise.

Elia stark, hiding in the bushes, was even more afraid and nervous.

Elia doesn't want to run, but there are no fewer soldiers around. Once she runs, she will be easily noticed.

Moreover, Elia was only in her teens when she was rebellious and active again.

A child of this age.

How can you not be afraid of such a big event.

It's hard for her to hide for so long.

Just then.

A little farther away, in the team with flashing fire, suddenly a loud noise began.

"Who?

"Who's that guy?"

"Morgan... The champion of the hunting contest, marksman, bear hunter Morgan..."

"What is he doing here?"

"He's loyal to the stark family. He must have come to look for the child..."

"Do you want to stop him..."

"You can go up and try..."

"He seems to be carrying a bow and arrow. I dare not..."

"Leave him alone. Her Majesty has an order to bring the stark family child to her..."

"We have many people, he is not as fast as us..."

"What if we find him and he wants someone?"

"What are the swords on your waist for?"

"What are you afraid of? There are queens and kings behind us..."

"Stop talking nonsense, search..."

“......”

Looking at a large group of soldiers holding torches in front who almost lit up the whole forest, Morgan clamped his horse's belly, "Radish" immediately trotted forward and rushed into the front team.

"Your Excellency Morgan..."

At this time, a smart, heavily armed and tall young soldier came out and stood in front of Morgan's horse.

"Go away..."

Morgan immediately interrupted the soldier in front of him and said coldly, "I don't know how important the daughter of Lord ed stark, the guardian of the north, the Duke of Winterfell and the former prime minister, is."

"In case of a mistake, it's not enough to kill all of you..."

"Get out of here!"

In the face of Morgan, who is condescending, powerful, cold and fierce in his eyes, ordinary people can't bear it at all.

Morgan finished drinking, regardless of whether the soldiers in front of him stepped aside or not, clamped his horse's back and immediately ran out with his horse. There was a posture that the other party wouldn't let him and directly ran over the other party.

The tall soldier in front of him looked frightened and hurriedly dodged aside.

A group of elite soldiers guarding the city can only watch Morgan ride through their defense line and quickly go away.

"Elia..."

A little away from the soldiers behind.

Morgan immediately shouted on horseback.

The deep but penetrating sound immediately spread in all directions.

Paying close attention to Morgan around, he didn't notice the movement and was preparing to move on.

Suddenly, a voice came from a thick bush.

"Mr. Morgan..."

Morgan suddenly turned to look.

I saw a little figure with broken clothes and dirty clothes crawling out of the dark grass.

"Elia..."

As soon as Morgan was happy, he immediately clapped his horse forward, met the short figure walking quickly, quickly bent down and stopped, and stopped Elia in his arms and in front of him.

The moment Morgan stopped Elia.

Behind them, a group of soldiers paying close attention to Morgan also saw the short figure suddenly emerging.

"The child was found by Morgan!"

"We chase!"

For a moment, shouts broke out from the rear King's guard team near the city.

"Chase..."
