This time, the night watchmen found something amazing on the north side of the Great Wall of Desperation: three completely frozen corpses. It is common to say that frozen to death in the snow and ice, but this time it is very different.

No frostbite can turn the blood in the blood vessels into black powder, no cold can make the pupils turn blue in the sky, and no frostbite can make the muscles as crisp as glass.

The three people who were found were all Rangers of the Night Watch. They had followed Banyang Stark into the ice field and disappeared together. Now they reappear, but it is certainly not a good thing. The situation of the Chief Ranger is worrying. What is hidden in the vast snowfield that can make the strongest man in the Night Watcher still unknown.

Moreover, how did these three corpses arrive near the Great Wall? I found that there was no blood near their place and no trace of fighting, which means that they were not dead here, but were moved here. Who did this for why? Countless questions hovered in Mr. Xiong's head. He needed to find the answer, and the first thing he thought of Bachelor Yimeng.

"Open the door and take them back and let Master Yimon see." Mr. Xiong touched his beard, turned his head to see Samwell, who was almost scared to pee his pants by the corpse, and praised him with a rare plea: "Sam, these suspicious points you found are very important, and you performed well. Even if you are fat, you are not stupid. And Snow, you are doing well."

Sam's face turned red immediately and hurriedly wanted to thank him, but his tongue was out of control. Jon couldn't help laughing, and squatted down and rubbed Bai Ling's head. It was the one who discovered the abnormality and took everyone to find the corpse. It was also the only animal that was not afraid of the smell of the corpse. The other horses and dogs were frightened by the corpse and did not dare to approach it at all, and they didn't even dare to smell it.

"Okay, let's go back!" After Mr. Xiong finished speaking, he rode on his horse to ponder. The weather outside the Great Wall became more and more harsh, and it was followed by a heavy snowfall. The ice and snow that had just fallen quickly melted, and the branches kept falling into the water, as if it was raining again. In the record, this strange weather is called "Ghost Summer", which will only appear before the extremely dangerous cold winter comes.

Mr. Xiong knew that the future would be difficult. There would inevitably be heavy snowfall in a few months, and then it would be a winter that lasted for many years. He was not worried about winter because the Great Wall could block the wind and snow in the north, and the Black Castle was also warm enough. However, the hidden enemies worried him. In previous years, savages would sneak over the Great Wall and go to the south to rob and rape. What about this year? The huge cold winter is coming. Will they become more severe?

The power of the Night Watcher is not as powerful as before. If he does not take the initiative to explore dangers and does not respond to them in advance, wouldn’t it be a dead end? Mormon was thinking along the way, and he didn’t want to become the commander of the last Night Watcher.

The group of people who were out for reconnaissance slowly returned to the Great Wall. The horn sounded from Black Castle (the half at the top of the city wall) and the long and powerful "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

Jon and Samwell looked at each other. Although they were both affairs officers, this horn means that they had been Rangers for at least one day! "You are Rangers too, Sam." Jon punched his friend on the shoulder.

"Really? So are you!" The fat Sam raised his eyebrows, looking very proud. However, he also saw three corpses dragged on the wooden board behind him, and his nausea came back again. He probably couldn't eat today...

After hearing the signal, the gate of the frozen tunnel opened. General Affairs Chief Powen Malsi was standing in the first gate, running up quickly, holding a letter in his hand. "Sir, there is a bird sending a message, you will definitely want to see it as soon as possible."

"Hmm?" Mormon was deeply surprised and pulled the letter over, carefully one by one, everyone was curious about the content above, and Jon noticed that the General Manager had been staring at him with indescribable eyes.

After reading the letter, Mr. Xiong didn't say anything for half a minute. "Bowen, please arrange it and find a place to put the things you brought back. It seems that Master Yimeng can't get out of his hands for the time being, so I'll go find him now." Then, he turned his head and looked at Jon, his lips trembled, and said, "Snow, when you finish your work, go to Master Yimeng to find me. I guess... it will be in two hours."

After saying that, he rode his horse first and galloped through the frozen tunnel to Black Castle.

Three corpses were carried into a storage room at the foot of the Great Wall. It was one of the countless cold rooms chiseled out of the ice wall, specially used to store meat, grains and other things, and sometimes ale. Bowen thought he had found a good place, so he chose an empty one and threw the corpse in. "Let's go, you all need warmth." They closed the door casually and did not need to lock it. The low temperature would affect the work of the lock, and the dead were not prisoners, so why lock the door if they didn't move.

They walked out of the tunnel and saw Zhao Mai standing in front of the door, protruding his head and looking inside. The magic of the Great Wall of Desperation is still powerful. Zhao Mai tried it and could walk ten meters in the frozen tunnel. Then it would start to hang frost and the blood slowly solidified. He estimated that even if he transformed into a "white ball" and used his elementalized body to avoid freezing, he would insist on walking halfway through the road, and then he would exhaust his strength and freeze into ice.

This is why he could only stand at the entrance of the tunnel. When Zhao Mai saw Jon, he immediately went forward and reached out to hold his hand: "Welcome back."

"Uh, thank you... Thank you." Jon was a little surprised. Then Zhao Mai went to hold Samwell's hand again, "Welcome back."

Maybe this is a kind of passionate custom that he didn't know. Jon thought so. After estimating the time, he could still go to the cafeteria to get a steaming cup of hot stuff, no matter what it was, as long as it was wine was good. Then, he could bring two such things to Master Yimeng and give Mr. Xiong a cup each. This idea is good!

He planned this way, and he did it an hour later, but he didn't expect that Mr. Xiong asked him to drink one of the glasses first. "You need to sit down and listen to a message."

Jon had a bad feeling, tried to calm himself down, and then acted as he said.

"The king is dead." said Mr. Xiong.

Jon was shocked. He met the king half a year ago. He was a fat but healthy person. He had never heard of any disease he had. Why did he die suddenly?

Then who is the new king? It should be that annoying Joffrey? He certainly won't let his father continue to serve as the king's hand, which means that his father and may have to return to Winterfell. Maybe he can ask Mr. Xiong for leave and go back to see it, just like Uncle Ban Yang. The father promised him last time he told him about his mother when he met again. Even if she was a prostitute, he didn't care. He had grown up, a man who was a night watchman, a Ranger, could know everything.

"Be mentally prepared, there is bad news," Mormon said. "Mr. Ed is currently in prison, and he is charged with treason, and the letter says that he and Robert's two younger brothers conspired to seize the throne of Joffrey."

"Impossible!" Jon said immediately: "Absolutely impossible! Father would not betray the king no matter what he said!"

"No matter whether it is true or false, it's not my turn to say anything. Of course, it's not your turn to say something." Mr. Xiong said.

"But that's a lie!" Jon insisted. He knew his father too well. He was a man who regarded honor as higher than life, and had no stains in his life. But... maybe there was another stain, that was an illegitimate child.

"Sir, what will happen to him? Will he be executed?"

"I don't know." said Mr. Xiong. "I will write to the important officials of the kingdom, such as Sir Balistan, the chief steward of the imperial guards. I have a good relationship with him. No matter whether your father has done this or not, he is an amazing lord. Therefore, even in the worst case, he must give him the opportunity to join us in black. Although he will no longer be the Duke of Winterfell, you also know how much we need people as talented as Lord Ed."

Jon had a fire of hope in his heart. There was indeed a precedent for those accused of treason to go to the Great Wall to atone for sins. Why can't Lord Ed? If you can see your father here, it might be a good thing, because it means that his father belongs only to him and the night watchman.

"The only problem is the queen." Xiong Lao said: "Joffrey is young and must have listened to his mother's words. His uncle may be fine. Unfortunately, the dwarf is not by their side. He has seen the dilemma of our night watchmen and witnessed our urgent need for help with us. He will be willing to persuade us! Alas, it is inappropriate for your mother to arrest him like that..."

"Mrs. Stark is not my mother." Jon said sharply. Tyrion treats him like a friend, but Caitlyn Stark is not like a mother. If her father is killed, she and the queen will bear the same responsibility. Jon suddenly remembered something and became worried immediately, and asked quickly: "Sir, where are my sisters? They are all in the king's land with my father, do you know..."

"I don't know, the letter didn't say it, I will ask you for your questions." Mr. Xiong said, "Damn it, when is it bad, but at this time. I have already smelled the most terrible winter coming, and the king is in need of a powerful ruler. Robert is a real warrior, and Joffrey? This name makes me worried! Why is it at this time when I need all my help!" Mr. Xiong looked at Jon meaningfully: "Boy, I hope you don't do stupid things! Now your duty is here. From the moment you put on black, you have died in the past. No matter what happened in King's Landing, it has nothing to do with you, and nothing to do with us."

Jon nodded blankly and took another sip of wine. It was his father and sister, how could it be irrelevant?

"You can leave now, I don't need you even today. Have a good rest and come and write me a letter tomorrow!"

So the owner of the dire wolf stood up and left as if in a dream, bowed mechanically and left. If Bai Ling hadn't been pulling his clothes, he might have fallen down the stairs.

"Hey, Jon, I think what you need now is not a direwolf, but a guide dog." Zhao Mai didn't know which corner came out, or was he waiting here? By the way, I heard that he was arranged to be with Bachelor Emon like Sam, so he must have known the content of the letter long ago!
