Night.

Winterfell, Inner Fort.

Around the campfire, in addition to roasted whole sheep and huge roasted whole beef coated with honey, other dishes were also served, such as thick barley venison soup, greasy and fragrant mutton soup, stewed whale seal meat, skewers grilled sausage cured meat, nutty wheat bread and so on.

Of course, there are also barrels of rye beer, which can be celebrated without eating, but without drinking.

"Let's toast to the first place in the tournament, Jones Amber!"

"Cheers!"

The dinner began with the shouts of "Cheers".

"Let's toast to the brave Amber family!" was Big Jon's shout, but not many people responded to him.

"Cheers to our young wolf lord!"

However, Big Jon's face was thick enough, and he quickly changed his sentence, and the black and suppressed warriors in the audience immediately responded in unison.

"Cheers!"

I have to say, he's really a good guy to liven up the atmosphere.

......

At this point,

Jones had already summoned his Scorching Men and Joaquin.

When Timei heard that his followers had won the first place in the competition, he did not hesitate to change the title of Jones to "master", advocating force as a common characteristic of primitive tribes.

Joaquin had a look of his father who had just died, no, it should be said that the whole family had just died.

Jones asked curiously what was going on, and the people of the Scorching Department were now twisting and jumping, and as his own men, why didn't they feel a trace of his excitement.

Eventually, Joaquin squirmed back, "I used all my savings to bet on Jon Jon Jr. and Harris to win." In the end, it was like a young deer wailing and crying silently.

"You...... You!" Jones didn't know what to say now, scolding a man who had just lost all his possessions, he couldn't do it, and kind words to comfort a man who didn't buy his own win, he wasn't so generous.

"You should work hard for me in the future. Eventually, he told the truth.

In a few moments, the two second sons of Karstark took him to drink, and the sons of the counts, whom he could not name, gathered together.

Jones fixed his eyes, and the people here were basically either the second sons who had no inheritance rights, or they were from small families.

"Losers!" Jones muttered.

"What did you say, Lord Jones?" asked Eddard Karstark next to him, concerned.

"Nothing, I mean your name is interesting, just like Lord Eddard, Duke of Winterfell. Jones casually changed the subject.

"Haha, my name is a reflection of the high respect that our Karstark family has for Lord Eddard, and our Karstark family is a branch of the Stark family. ”

"That was a thousand years ago, and we are all descendants of our ancestors. The Severn family retorted that they couldn't get used to the way he looked like the Stark family.

"Of course, we are all descendants of our ancestors, but the fact that the descendants of the Anda people dared to capture and imprison our duke is an insult to our northern border, an insult to our ancestors and the old gods. Eddard Karstark said loudly with red eyes, and his young face was full of hideousness.

Almost all the sons of the Count were infected by his words, ignited like dynamite, and began to shout loudly to kill the Southerners.

"Their loyalty to the Stark family needs no questions. "Maester Ruwin, not far away, walked towards Jones and them with Bran.

"Maybe they can really save my father. Bran said happily, and with his legs crippled, he could only sit in the willow basket behind his servant Addo.

"Are you really going to see Jones? maybe you should be with your brother and the Earl. Maester Luwen continued.

"No, I don't want to be with those counts anymore, their eyes always look at my legs as if they were always mocking, and it's not my fault that I'm disabled. Bran screamed sadly.

"Well, let's go to Jones, maybe he can bring us something different. Master Luwen hurriedly comforted.

"I hope so. ”

......

"Master Stark!"

Seeing Bran's arrival, everyone respectfully shouted, although Bran was only an eight-year-old boy, although he was disabled, there was still room for respect, and after Robb went south, this little boy would also become the heir of Winterfell.

Jones looked at the boy in front of him with big watery eyes, fair skin, and more beautiful than a girl, and searched hard for memories of the past.

Bran was too young when he came to study in Winterfell, about the same age as Rickon now, and apparently he had too little to do with him, and he suspected that the other party would not remember him.

"Master Lewyn!" Jones stood up and said respectfully, although Lewyn was not allowed to call him teacher, Jones still respected the old master who had taught him.

"I didn't expect you to become a bachelor, but a warrior. Lu Wen sighed.

Jones smiled awkwardly, not knowing whether Maester Luwen was criticizing or complimenting.

Seeing his restraint, Master Lu Wen smiled and waved his hand, "It's all your own choice, I don't mind." Bran heard that you had brought news of King's Landing, so he wanted to talk to you alone. ”

"Lord Jones, I'd like to hear you myself, if you don't mind?" said Bran politely.

"My pleasure. Then Jones told him what he had learned in Lindong City, especially when he heard that he had met his sister Arya, and little Bran confirmed that he was not injured many times, and that he was safe now.

"You're going to save my father and sisters, aren't you?" said Bran at last, looking at Jones with a look of hope.

"Yes, that's what we're going to do!" Jones said earnestly.

"The Starks will remember your efforts. Before leaving, Little Bran also promised with a serious face.

"When I was unconscious, it was as if I saw Brother Jon huddled in a world of ice and snow. I heard that you are good friends with him, and your home is very close to him, I hope you can spend more time with him, he may need you. ”

"I will!" if he had time, of course he didn't say it. Jon was dressed in black, which he only knew from Robb today.

I don't know how lonely a person is, so he will take the initiative to wear black.

......

It wasn't long before Jones, Jon Jon, Daisy Mormont, the three Carstark brothers, and the sons of the Earls who had participated in the jousting were summoned by Robb.

"Your martial arts, we have seen for all to be, worthy of being the most elite warriors in the North," Robb paused and turned his gaze to the Jones brothers, "I wonder what kind of duties you are willing to take on in the army?"

Jones could only meditate when he saw Robb on the high platform staring at him, because he didn't think too clearly about the next plan.

"I will be like my father, the most reliable of the adults. At this time, little Jon took the initiative.

"We in the Kastark family are the staunchest supporters of the Young Wolf Lord, and it is our honor to be your guard. The eldest son of the Kastark family also said on behalf of the three brothers.

Daisy Mormont, the female warrior of Bear Island, was also going to be a glorious squire, but looking at the pensive Jones, she decided to hear what this guy had to say first.

In fact, this kind of thing does not need to be thought about, and becoming the bodyguard of the lord can almost be said to be the highest honor for a knight. For example, the King's Kingsguard was sung by the bards, and their stories were compiled into books.

And what makes Jones hesitate is that he is not used to taking another person's life more than his own, he can fight for his friends, but to die for him, he can't do it.

In that case, he would not have taken on the role of a guard.

But looking at everyone's questioning eyes, he has been trying to find a convincing reason.

"My lord, I want to be a commando captain who can always be at the forefront of killing enemies. Jones replied earnestly, there was one thing he didn't say, he still wanted to rescue his childhood friend, the little girl who was alone.

Robb is still very disappointed that Jones did not be his own bodyguard, but thinking about it, being a commando captain with his first combat power in the competition is indeed a good person.

At this time, another crisp female voice also sounded, "Young wolf master, I also want to lead the troops, the female warriors of Bear Island are not afraid of any enemy." ”

It was Daisy Mormont, who glanced at Jones slightly defiantly after she finished speaking.

"Your choices are reasonable. Robb affirmed, "Jones, you will lead five hundred cavalry and trample our enemies under the hooves of your horses." Daisy, you will have a thousand infantry to cut off the heads of anyone who dares to stand in our way. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Jon Jon and the others, "And you will be my most reliable bodyguard, guarding the honor of the North together." ”

"Defend the North!"

"Defend the North!"

Amid the shouting, the atmosphere of the dinner reached its climax.

......

"I said I would reward you, but while I can remember, you listened to me. On the way back to the guest room, Jon slurred that he had drunk too much.

"The Amber family's territory near Seal Bay will be handed over to you, and you can toss as much as you want. ”

After saying that, he didn't care what Jones wanted to say, and left crookedly.

When Jon Jon heard this, he was surprisingly calm, which made Jones a little confused, shouldn't he be glaring angrily at himself, a person fighting for the family property?

Is there a pit waiting for him?
