A black raven flew through the white world, its wings wet by a blizzard, but it did not stop flying, but continued to soar in the sword-like north wind. x

Eventually, it stood on the branch of a dead tree that had long since withered, tilting its head to observe a long black snake in front of it, and making a piercing noise.

The serpent moved slowly, passing through the trees, a coalition of troops from Tanis, outnumbered for miles, but demoralized and trailing through knee-deep snow.

In the snowstorm, Stannis could also be seen faintly, leading his horse to follow the crowd slowly and slowly.

At first, when it first snowed, Stannis, who had a horse on it, was still sitting on it, and he was very proud, but when the ice crystals cut his face like a blade, he had to honestly dismount and walk forward like the others, and the snow burrowed into his boots and turned into ice water and stuck to his shoes and socks, not to mention how sour.

Having endured this hardship from a traveler who grew up in the south, he felt that it was better to die just as he walked.

"This march is a head! Is this the road to hell!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Blizzard scrambled to get into his mouth.

"I don't know!" Robert, who looked like Santa Claus was covered in snow, replied with difficulty.

Stannis shook his head and took another sip of wine from his skin to warm himself up, at least he hoped that hell would not be so cold after he froze to death.

After this long march, the thousands of people who were about to freeze to death finally found a village on the border between the Wofs and Clauss, but it was closer to the Klaus side and therefore outside the jurisdiction of the Wolfs.

The frozen soldiers rushed into the villagers' dwellings, and began to roast the fire without the consent of their masters, and when the gang warmed up, they began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find the villagers' own brewed wine and began to ** the villager's daughter......

Stannis, of course, was not going to be part of the gang, and he had his men go outside and light a few bonfires with black oil to keep warm, and then go into the village chief's house in the hope of finding a place to spend the night.

When he entered the chief's house, he found that Enrique and his middle-aged and elderly man were already standing in front of the chief, and the poor chief was standing there with his hands down and listening to Enrique's lecture.

"What did you do! Didn't you get the news that our investigation army was going to pass through here! We didn't even prepare in advance where we lived!"

"But...... My lord, I didn't even get any news that you would come!"

"Dare to refute, slap your mouth!"

Enrique frightened the old village chief, but when the man next to him saw Stannis walking in, he tugged at the lord's sleeve and signaled him to stop.

The young marquis also noticed Stannis, and he immediately relented, and shouted a few more words, "In short, I will report your dereliction of duty to the lord here!

Then the young man walked around Stannis, and Sir Seaworth bowed politely to Stennis before leaving.

The remaining old village chief shook his head helplessly and said to himself, "Report my dereliction of duty? Now that Master Klaus's family is all dead, who are you going to report to?"

At the same time he spotted Stannis, "What's the matter with you? ”

Stannis coughed dryly, "Old man, my people want to find a place to sleep in shelter from the wind and snow, I don't know if there is any place in the village." ”

But the village chief said unkindly: "My lord, as soon as you came, you have taken possession of our poor people's huts, and where is there any place for you to live! ”

This guy is really arrogant enough in the face of an earl, but after thinking about it, if the other village chiefs saw a group of robber-like troops unceremoniously occupying the magpie's nest, their attitude would not be much better than the old man in front of them.

So Stannis said in a more plain tone: "Old man, don't confuse us with those vulgar fellows, we are disciplined people's soldiers!

The old man's eyes lit up when he heard the money, and he touched his beard and said with interest, "Rich...... That's easy, there's an empty warehouse at the back of our village, but it's only half collapsed, and you can stay there for the night if you want. ”

"Thank you!" Stannis was overjoyed, and now he just wanted to find a place to shelter from the wind, take off his jacket and pants, which had turned into ice shells, and sit down next to the nuclear flame ignited by black oil to keep warm.

The village chief waved his hand and sent him away, "That warehouse is just behind the village, it's easy to find, and I won't lead the way with such a big snowstorm." ”

Stannis didn't care, he put his hand on the handle, ready to push the door out.

Suddenly, there was a strange noise from the bottom of the ** against the wall of the room.

"Who!" Stannis jumped to his feet, and at once his hand reached for his waist, but it was empty, and then he remembered that his sword was tied to his horse.

The village chief hurriedly stopped him in a panic, his face frightened, "My lord, please don't be rude, it's my daughter hiding in the cabinet!"

Well, what's going on? It reminded him of the plot in Seven Samurai.

For the sake of insurance, Stannis decided to let the woman at the bottom of the ** show up, "Let her come out and I'll see if it's too frustrating to scare others before she hides." ”

The village chief called out to his daughter helplessly, and soon, a young girl appeared from the cabinet.

I didn't expect that there are such a radiant beauty in this wilderness, although she is a village girl, but she also has a different style, just like eating big fish and meat, and occasionally changing seasonal fresh vegetables is also a very pleasant thing.

Looking at this beautiful girl, Stannis couldn't help but rub his hands and laugh.

"Oh fellow, it turns out that you also have a daughter!"

The village chief took a step back in fright, "My daughter is very innocent, what do you want to do!"

Innocence?Stennis clearly saw that the beautiful woman was throwing winks at him affectionately, like a nymphomaniac.

"Why is she hiding in there!" Stannis wondered.

The village chief scratched his head and smiled: "You also know that your reputation is not very good, I am afraid that when you see my daughter, you will be drunk for a while, and you will not be able to control ......."

Stannis pouted, what does a village girl look up to, this hillbilly thinks too highly of herself!

"Father, let me spread the quilt for this lord, you will get sick if you sleep on the floor on such a cold day" The woman looked at Stannis eagerly, which made the lord wonder when he was so popular with women.

"Shut up, Deborah, get me a good night's sleep! don't embarrass me here!" shouted the village chief, who seemed to not want his daughter to show up.

Determined not to get involved in this kind of family chore, Stannis puts his hand on the doorknob and pushes the door into the white world.
