Start with Lord of the Rings

Chapter 267 Get out of here!

The night was dark.

The cold wind howled in the wilderness.

Winter season.

Even though the weather on the east coast of Westeros is much warmer than that in the north, it is much warmer than Winterfell.

But winter nights are still bitterly cold.

In the dim light of the fire.

Morgan looked at the back of the hound Gondor Clegane leaving, and thought for a while.

Only then did he get up and simply clean up the grill.

It was almost late at night.

Except for the soldiers patrolling outside the temporary rest camp.

Most of the others have already fallen asleep and entered dreamland.

After Morgan cleaned up, he stirred the bonfire in front of him and added some dry wood. Then he leaned against the root of the lone tree behind him, covered his body with a thick blanket, and began to fall asleep.

It's just that I didn't sleep for long this time.

When the first dull thunderclap suddenly sounded in the night sky.

Morgan opened his eyes from sleep.

"Boom."

"Boom"

The muffled thunder came from far away in the dark sky.

Accompanied by the sound of muffled thunder.

There were also one or two blinding lightning flashes across the dark night sky.

Such thunder and lightning weather is not common in winter.

Appeared in other seasons in the past.

This is the sign before the heavy rain.

But if it appears in winter, it is a sign before the snowstorm.

It's not like an ordinary snowstorm.

"Hoohoo."

The icy cold wind howled and blew through the entire huge temporary camp.

At this moment, it wasn't just Morgan who woke up.

There are also a large number of vigilant team members, and a small number of team members who do not sleep well.

"Mr. Morgan."

"Master Morgan."

At this time, Qiao Li, the vice-captain of the Southward Guard, walked towards Morgan with a few guard soldiers.

"Where's Kelsen?"

Morgan got up, looked at the leading middle-aged guard who was walking towards him and asked.

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

The vice-captain Jory immediately responded.

"Well, Jory, you walk with me."

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

"This kind of weather looks like it's going to snow"

Morgan nodded, greeted the soldiers in front of him, and walked towards the carriage where Sansa Stark and Arya Stark were resting.

Such weather is somewhat unusual.

Still look more secure.

Morgan thought to himself, promised Ed Stark to take care of their two daughters, of course he must protect each other's safety.

Morgan strode away.

Vice captain Jory hurriedly followed.

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

There are many guards in this huge temporary team.

But the King's Guard made up the vast majority.

Moreover, the guards have always been basically patrolled by a large number of king's guards.

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

Although the king's guard will protect the entire team, the king and queen, as well as the important nobles in King's Landing City, are their key protection targets.

In comparison, the people in Winterfell City are naturally much worse.

And these days.

Queen Cersei Lannister, who was born in the Lannister family, seems to be somewhat dissatisfied with Eddard Stark, the Duke of Winterfell.

Many of the guards who were born in Casterly Rock and served under the King's command had a mediocre attitude towards the personnel of Winterfell.

There was King Robert Baratheon.

No one dares to do anything.

But personal likes and dislikes are unavoidable.

Morgan tasted these details early on.

Only then did he pay more attention to the safety of the two Miss Stark family.

But this time it was really just a sudden situation.

Morgan failed to spot any hidden dangers.

When returning to his residence under the tree.

Several guard soldiers have set up arrows in Morgan's personal tent.

Morgan didn't say anything. This kind of thing is what these soldiers should do.

He was just a nuisance before.

But it's not okay to have a snowstorm at night.

Although his body could bear it, he didn't want to suffer that.

Nodding to several soldiers, Morgan gave orders to the vice-captain Jory, and Jory led the soldiers away.

At this time.

In the howling cold wind.

The sky has already started to snow.

Morgan fiddled with the bonfire again.

Then got into the tent.

This time, Morgan slept peacefully.

When I woke up again, it was already daylight.

Just in the moment of opening the tent.

He knew that the team would definitely not be able to reach King's Landing City today.

"huhuhuhu"

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

In such blizzard weather.

There was no way the team could have moved on.

“It's a good day to rest”

Morgan suddenly thought and walked out of the tent.

After half an hour.

Inside a spacious tent surrounded by several tents.

The campfire is warm.

Ed Stark sat in the main seat, surrounded by Sansa, Arya, the two Stark family ladies, and Morgan, the guard captain Kelson, the vice-captain Jory, and a follower The female officer, and several managers who can be named.

Duke Ed finished eating the last piece of lamb chops on the dinner plate, put down the tableware in his hand, picked up the tablecloth to wipe his mouth, looked up at the people at the table and said: "I will definitely not be able to reach King's Landing City today. When will the blizzard stop, when will we start again"

"You go back and perform your duties."

"Sansa, Arya, you can go back and stay, and you can 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, eating, lodging and rest are all in the wild, so physical and mental exhaustion is inevitable.

This blizzard lasted a day and a night.

It didn't come to a complete stop until the next afternoon.

Originally, Morgan thought that this time he would be able to arrive at King's Landing City as safely as in the past three months.

afternoon.

A sudden incident immediately broke the seemingly peaceful atmosphere of the entire huge team.

"Master Morgan."

"."

"What did you say?"

"Repeat what you just said?"

At dusk, behind the huge team, Morgan, who was feeding the orange "radish" with hay, looked at the panting soldiers in front of him and asked in a deep voice.

"Miss Arya is missing."

"The Lannisters are all looking for the lady."

The soldier spoke quickly again.

Morgan heard clearly this time, his complexion changed slightly, the hand holding the forage immediately stopped, and asked again: "Have you notified Lord Stark?"

"Already notifying."

The soldier spoke again.

Stuffing the materials in his hands into the mouth of the "radish" that was shaking its head and rubbing against him, Morgan immediately untied the rein of the carrot.

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

"Why are the Lannister family in such a hurry to find Miss Arya?"

Morgan led the horse and walked out quickly, and the soldier quickly followed up and replied: "I don't know the specifics, but I heard that it seems to be related to His Royal Highness Prince Joffrey."

"Prince Joffrey"

Hearing this name, Morgan narrowed his eyes slightly.

The accident two days ago fell behind the face of Prince Geoffrey Baratheon in public.

After Sandor knew the opponent's plan through the hunting dog.

Morgan has been waiting for news from the other party.

It's just that I didn't expect that the other party was related to Arya Stark.

"It can't be because of what happened that day, that brat got angry with Arya, right?"

"But there is the "culprit" himself. He feels that there may be such a possibility, but it should not be great."

"After all, Sansa Stark's marriage to him was already said by his king's father, Robert Baratheon."

"Arya Stark is Joffrey's future sister-in-law"

Various thoughts quickly flashed through his mind.

Morgan, who came outside the tent, immediately got on his horse, looked at the soldiers beside him and said, "Where did Miss Arya go missing?"

The soldier hurriedly replied, and stretched out his hand to point in one direction: "The woods in the south disappeared in the woods near the river."

The voice just fell.

Knowing the location, Morgan clamped his horse's belly, "Carrot" let out a strange cry, and rushed out immediately.

He ran wildly in the half-meter-deep snow.

at the same time.

In the dark weed forest.

Arya Stark was lying in a thorn bush, looking at the shouting sound coming from a distance ahead, turned her head cautiously, looked at the direwolf beside her and said nervously: "Nymeria, You must go, you bit Joffrey, they will not let you go, they will kill you"

"Let's go."

"Let's go!"

Looking at the direwolf who turned back three times, Arya Stark shouted eagerly.

It just didn't get very far.

The direwolf seemed to realize that something was wrong with its master, and stood where it was again, turning to look at its master.

"go!"

"Come on!"

Hearing the sound coming from a distance getting closer, Arya Stark watched the direwolf growl eagerly, even picked up a stone beside him, and threw it at the direwolf Nymeria .

Realizing the master's anger, the direwolf turned around hesitantly with an uneasy expression.

It wasn't until the master threw the stone again and truly felt the master's anger that the direwolf Nymeria turned and ran deep into the dense forest.

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

The escaping figure of the direwolf Nymeria sprinted towards a place not covered by bushes and dense forests.

Soon, exclamations came from afar.

"Look, direwolf"

"That's a direwolf"

"There are no direwolves here. It must belong to the child of the Stark family. I know that each of the children of the Stark family has one."

"That kid must be over there, hurry up and chase after him."

"Hurry up. Run over there, catch up quickly, outflank."

"."

Arya Stark hid in the dense forest, watching her beloved wolf being hunted down by a group of heavily armed soldiers, she could only look nervously, with tears in her eyes.

She didn't think about it.

She let go of the direwolf that bit Prince Joffrey Baratheon, but what should she do if she injured Joffrey.

Although His Royal Highness Prince Joffrey bullied her friend and insulted Morgan, he deserved to be beaten.

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

Time passed slowly.

It was getting darker.

Arya Stark hid in the cold grass and did not dare to move.

However, there are more and more soldiers holding torches in the distance, and with the opponent's carpet-like search method, it may not take long to find them here.

Arya Stark's expression became more and more worried and frustrated.

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

She regrets some things.

But only did not feel regret for hurting Prince Joffrey.

"No. Not here"

"Look hard, the kid can't escape"

"We're hunting Duke Stark's daughter, will it be all right?"

"What's the matter? Didn't you see the blood on His Royal Highness Prince Joffrey's hands?"

"Duke Ed is a big man, but there are His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Queen."

"We're following orders."

"."

In the distance, accompanied by the approaching flickering flames, there were also bursts of noisy sounds.

Arya Stark, who was hiding in the bushes, became even more frightened and nervous.

It's not that Arya doesn't want to run, but there are always soldiers in the distance around her, and once she runs, she will be noticed easily.

And no matter how rebellious and active Arya is, she is only in her teens at this time.

Such a young child.

When encountering such a big event, how can you not feel afraid.

It's rare for her to be able to hide for so long.

at this time.

A little far away, within the flickering team, there was a sudden loud noise.

"Who?

"Who is that guy?"

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

"What is he doing here?"

"He is loyal to the Stark family and must have come to find the child."

"Do you want to stop him?"

"You can go up and try"

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

"Leave him alone, Her Majesty has an order to take the child of the Stark family to see her"

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

"What if we find it and he comes to ask for someone?"

"Then what are the swords on your waists used for?"

"What are you afraid of? Behind us is the queen and the king."

"Stop talking nonsense, search quickly"

"."

Looking at a large group of soldiers holding torches that almost illuminated the entire forest in front of them, Morgan clamped his horse's belly, and "Carrot" immediately trotted forward and rushed into the front team.

"Mr. Morgan."

At this time, a tall young soldier who pretended to be smart and fully armed came out, stood in front of Morgan's horse and just opened his mouth.

"go away"

Morgan immediately interrupted the soldiers standing in front of him, and said in a cold voice: "Guardian of the North, Duke of Winterfell, Lord Eddard Stark's daughter, the former Prime Minister, I don't need to tell you how important the daughter is."

"If there is a mistake, killing all of you is far from enough compensation"

"Get the hell out of here!"

Facing the condescending, powerful, cold complexion, and extremely sharp eyes of Morgan's stern shouts, ordinary people simply cannot bear it.

After Morgan finished drinking, he didn't care whether the soldier in front of him stepped aside, clamped his horse's back, and immediately galloped out, as if the opponent would not let him go, and he would directly crush the opponent to death.

The tall warrior standing in front of him looked shocked, and hurriedly dodged aside in embarrassment.

The elite guards of King's Landing could only watch as Morgan rode across their line of defense and went away quickly.

"Arya"

Slightly away from the group of soldiers behind him.

Morgan immediately shouted from his horseback.

The low, but extremely penetrating sound immediately spread in all directions.

Paying close attention to his surroundings, Morgan didn't notice any movement and was about to move on.

Suddenly, a voice suddenly came from a dense bush.

"Mr. Morgan"

Morgan turned his head abruptly.

I saw a small figure with torn clothes and dirty clothes crawling out of the dark grass.

"Arya"

Morgan was overjoyed, and immediately patted his horse forward, and quickly bent over to stop the short figure who was walking quickly, and stopped Arya in his arms, and put it in front of him.

That's when Morgan stopped Arya.

The soldiers behind him who were paying close attention to Morgan also saw the short figure that suddenly appeared.

"The child was found by Morgan!"

"Let's chase!"

In an instant, shouts erupted from the guards of King's Landing City behind.

"Hurry up."
