The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

night.

The stars are in the sky.

However, the woods are very dark, and the stars above are almost invisible.

"Jon, where are we going?" Ygritte asked Jon Snow next to him quietly.

"Don't ask." Jon Snow said.

"We are marching northward quietly, what are we going to do?"

"Pay attention to the surroundings. If there are Scouts from the Frey family, grab them." Jon said very vigilantly.

Bai Ling, his ice wolf, ran ahead.

The team marched quietly in the dense forest on the side of King's Road.

The sound of the Green Fork River on the other side of the King's Road was faintly heard in the silence of the night.

The woods are far from King's Road.

Jon and Ygritte led thirty scouts from the legion to the forefront. All the bells, metal pieces and ringing ornaments that the cavalry usually hung on their horses had been removed.

"Didn't the forces of the Frey family have gone with the lord of the river?" Ygritte said. A few days ago, she and Jon Snow visited Luanhe City under the name of the Northern Legion. The Frei family of Luanhe City responded to the call of the lord of Hejian Land. The army had left Luanhe City and the guards on the walls were very scarce.

However, Luanhe City is strong, the moat and the Green Fork River are connected, and the water flows deep and urgent. In peacetime, there are no enemies around, and only a few soldiers are required to watch the city gate.

"Don't you see the temple sparrow that was hanged in the woods the other day?"

"I saw it."

"That means the Frey family still has a certain amount of troops in the city."

"A nobleman, of course there will be some soldiers."

Jon waved his hand and motioned to Ygritte to stop talking. Ygritte had no choice but to hold back.

The journey went smoothly, and none of the Frey's scouts entered the woods east of King's Road at night to patrol. Except for the birds and beasts in the entire forest, there was no one who encountered the temple sparrow. The northern army was stationed in the Green Fork River for two days. Under the pressure, the church sparrows in the woods and mountains on the east side of King's Road fled this area one after another.

The most elite mixed army in the north came out of the woods and came to the neck, ahead of the endless swamp. There is only a very narrow causeway in the middle. This is the only causeway. Other places are water, grass, vines, flat ground, bushes, and very low reed forests, endless. The toads inside, the numbing lion lizards, the poisonous snakes, the leeches thicker than the fingers, all kinds of strange and deadly creatures occupy this swamp, which is daunting.

And the grass that looks flat, if you dare to go over, it will dare to eat you even the horse and the people clean. It only takes one day and one night. Even the traces of cloth and paper floating on the shallow grass will be caused by the swamp. The natural rhythm of the earth rolled and disappeared without a shadow.

A young man with a bright figure and a vigorous girl with a bow and arrow stood on the embankment, blocking the team's way forward.

"Jiujian Li De?!" Jon jumped off his horse. Asked in a low voice.

"Jon Snow!" The young man was sure that he had seen Jon Snow and his Bai Ling in his dream, as well as Ygritte by his side. He has a delicate face, with the gentleness of a woman in his handsomeness. Those bright eyes are like stars in the starry sky.

Both Jon and Ygritte were surprised by the boy's bright and strange eyes.

Jon looked carefully at the pair of teenagers in front of him. The boy is the prophet of the green vision that Mr. Will said? Can you foresee the future and the past through dreaming? Is it such a boy with a slight childishness on his face?

But Jon remembered that he could also see another scene in this world through Bai Ling's eyes, experiencing the bloodthirsty of the ice wolf and the sharpness of the claws. Jon put away his doubts about the aliens of Jiu Jian's "Green Vision".

Yergret pays more attention to women after the exercise. The woman had a bow and arrow on her back, her eyes full of vigilance and alertness, like a cat with a tensed back, just like Ygritte himself.

"Jiujian, this is...your sister Mela Leide?"

"Yes, I'm Mela." Mela still looked at Jon's eyes as sharp as a falcon.

The first time Bai Ling faced Jiujian and Mela, he didn't even show his fangs to threaten him, which made Jon's heart move slightly. Facing strangers, Bai Ling was always full of strong hostility.

Yergret found out that she liked Mela, and of course she also liked Jiujian Leide. It's just that she was not as surprised as Jon in her heart for the child with the "Green Vision". The free people outside the Great Wall are accustomed to the vision of Green, aliens, children of the forest, ghosts and ghouls, giants, etc., and do not care. They have seen too many strange people and wonders since they were young in the Seren Mountains. Miraculous miracles and ancient legends have been with them for a long time.

"Mella, you have worked hard!" Jon said. Although Mela's face was no longer childish, she was still a big child in her eyes.

Mela said coldly: "Master Jon, let's go quickly. Master Will once told us to guard against leaks. This is the edge of Frey's house."

"Okay, let's go!"

Jiu Jian said, "The cavalry will follow me, and the infantry will follow Mera."

"I lead the infantry." Ygritte said.

"Good!" Jon agreed.

So, amidst everyone’s stunned mouth, Jiujian Li De jumped into the shining surface of the water under the embankment. Amidst the suppressed exclamations of everyone, the water had just flooded the back of his feet. His people were not as good as everyone else. What I thought was sunk into the swamp and was swallowed in an instant.

"Follow me, Lord Jon, you can get on the horse."

"Horse?" Jon was very suspicious and worried, but Will ordered him to listen to Jiujian's arrangements.

This marshland belongs to the territory of Stark in the north. The frog-eaters and clay figurines are the aboriginal people of this marshland. Their lord is called Holland Lid, the father of Jiujian and Mela.

Holland Reid is one of Ed Stark’s best friends. In the War of the Usurpers, Robert and Ed’s best friends were almost killed, and Holland Reid was Ed’s only surviving close friend from that war.

The Horan Reid family has been loyal to the Stark family in the north for three thousand years. Their ancestors have been blessed by the Stark family many times, and have been saved by the help of the Stark family several times in the crisis of extermination. Although the two families were not married in modern times, they were more loyal and close than the married families.

If Ed Stark can trust a person unconditionally in this world, then this person is Holland Reid. On the contrary, Holland Reid also trusts Ed Stark in the same way, and is willing to go through fire and water for him without hesitation.

More than two hundred cavalrymen led by Jon followed Jiu Jian. They walked out a way where there was absolutely no way. They walked safely in a place that was obviously a quagmire. Soon, this cavalry team disappeared. The vast marshland.

"Let's go too!" Mela said.

"it is good!"

Mela led the infantry team along the embankment for about two miles, and also deviated from the embankment, leading everyone into this cannibal swamp.
