Chapter 245: It's not that it's difficult, it's lazy

The horse was startled by Zhao Mai's sudden appearance, but this time it was a druid warrior who stood in its way, not the chubby and clumsy Samwell. The front hooves of the pen &www.biquge.info amp; fun & pavilion kicked over, Zhao Mai slapped his hand twice, and then hit the hooves down, and then pressed the horse's chest with one palm, but he himself did not move. "You can't even pick a war horse, let alone fight!"

"I'm going to fight for my brother!" Jon said stubbornly, swaying from his horse, finally regaining his balance.

"I'll tell you what to expect. You leave the Night's Watch, and if Elder Xiong doesn't want the Night's Watch to fall apart, he will issue a wanted warrant for you. He can't tolerate deserters, let alone deserters going unpunished, you know?"

"Yes, I'm ready to be despised and scolded. ”

"Too young!" Zhao Mai shook his head: "This wanted notice will also be sent to the lords of the northern realm, so everyone knows that Duke Ned Stark has a son who has broken his oath! Yes, you are an illegitimate child, but you are Ned's illegitimate son." People will think, where did you get this oath-breaking bloodline? Did it come from his traitorous father?"

"My father was not a traitor. Jon's eyes were red with anger, just like the white spirit.

"You're thinking too simply. Zhao Mai still stopped him: "What do you think will happen to your brother? If he shelters you, it is to allow a broken oath to live well." So what will the nobles who are loyal to him, or to your father to be precise, think? Anyway, they will live a good life, why are they still going to war? The army of the north, ha, your brother still had a bullshit army back then!"

Jon was speechless, and he looked at Sam, who was sitting on the ground. This was the second time he had fallen to the ground from a horse, and Jon was so sorry.

"If your brother beheads you or hands you over to the night watchman, the nobles will not say anything, but they will also look down on him, thinking that he can't protect his family and brothers, how can he protect the vassals in the north in the future? Especially when everyone raises the flag together to attack King's Landing and attack the king?" Zhao Mai continued to tell him the bloody facts, "I guess you have the idea of incognito, just join the army and kill the enemy, isn't it? It's too naïve, if you can't be caught, it means that your brother's ability to rule the Northland is not enough!" The Starks' rule in the North is based on justice, honor, duty, and ability, and are you ready to uproot them all by yourself?"

"Could it be that serious?" asked Pie, tilting his head with his mouth wide open. Piper knocked his teeth on each other a few times, "I don't know, but it sounds like something makes sense, and it's quite sensational." ”

"And, no matter what, the Night's Watch will create an irreparable rift with the Stark family of the North because of your want. Tell me, do you want your brothers and friends to lose supplies and fight monsters that move without a body?"

Jon was stunned, and the sword fell from his hand. "What should I do?" he muttered, "I'm back at Castle Black, and I can't help anything." ”

"It was a difficult decision. But one thing you have to remember is that even at that time, when your father confessed to treason, there was still a glimmer of life, and that was to come to the Night's Watch to atone for his sins. King Joffrey is a bastard and decapitated your father without giving him a chance. But if you're in Castle Black, your enemies will think, I don't dare go to Castle Black, because Stark's son Jon is there. Your family and friends also know that you are here, and if they are unfortunate enough to reach the most difficult moment, they will also think, Jon is at Castle Black, I can go to him and seek refuge. ”

Sam nodded, and hurriedly said, "Mike has a point. Like me, if it weren't for being a night watchman, my father wouldn't have known what to do with me, and maybe I'd be killed...... And Piper, Glenn, and Eddie, didn't all of us survive because of the Night's Watch?"

Jon glanced south, where it was still pitch black, like the shadow of the abyss. He got off his horse, bowed his head and said to the crowd, "I'm sorry. ”

"We understand your feelings. Piper reached for the reins and made sure the horse didn't get any more moths. "You're not alone, we're all your brothers. ”

Everyone went up and patted Jon on the shoulder as a sign of comfort. Add said, "We need to hurry back so that no one will find out that Jon has left." Remember, if anyone asked, it would be said that Jon was walking his horse and getting lost. We found him in the Mole Village, and we didn't know anything else. ”

"Okay, I remember. Gülen said with his tongue grinned.

"You'd better remember it, and we're going to have to get on our way. Eddie said, "If we don't go back by dawn, Elder Xiong might behead us." ”

"I won't. Zhao Mai shrugged: "I'm not a night watchman. ”

The crowd didn't know what to say, so they had to bury their heads and hurry. When you get close enough to the Great Wall of Desperation, you will see a spectacular sight: the light of the full moon shines on the entire snowy wall, and the Great Wall of Desperation reflects a halo of light like crystal, an indescribable light between blue and pale yellow.

"I never knew the Great Wall of Desperation was so beautiful. Todd's eyes widened, "I think I'm going to love this big ice cube, second only to my stove." ”

"It's magnificent, but why haven't we noticed it before?" Gülen always wondered.

"None of us have ever been out in the middle of the night before. Eddie said: "When you come out in the middle of the night to pee, you all bow your head and draw on the ground, isn't it, who will look up!"

Zhao Mai wanted to say that he had seen it, but it was estimated that he would be complained about by Eddie again, so it was better to keep his mouth shut. In the moonlight, the runes of the Great Wall of Desperation will be more obvious, and ordinary people can also feel it, which is the origin of that halo. At this time, he will feel the discomfort of being excluded, and often cannot sleep and has to get up. If he was really sleepy, he went to the car to take a nap. "the・che" will help him block out this effect.

However, the others did see this wonder for the first time, and they couldn't help but be shocked. "I think I'll enjoy working the night shift in the future. Eddie said with a sad face. But he quickly added: "But don't spread the word about it, I don't really have to work night shifts." ”

Jon had been silent until he suddenly spoke, "Mike, I figured out what you said. You're right. But...... But why is there no good one of the two options?"

"You mean go or stay, they're not good. Zhao Mai said: "But in fact, you have always had a choice, and everyone has it." But that choice seems too stupid for everyone to ignore. ”

"What is it?"

"Hard, hard work. Zhao Mai said: "You see, when you want to break the stereotype, such as leaving the night watchman, you will be met with endless resistance, you want to stay, but you can't avoid the worries in your heart." These are facts, and facts can no longer be changed, only the future. You say you're a good swordsman, can you compare to Dawn Excalibur? You say you're good at horsemanship, are you as good as Rhaegar the Dragon Prince? You say you know how to command battle, so are you as good as your father? If you have any of these qualities, things will be different. You are at different levels, and the choices will be different. So if you want to change your choice, it's better to change yourself. ”

"People always want to save effort, and they will think that saving effort is right and smart. But in many cases, silly effort is really smart. I met your mother, Lady Catelyn Stark, and Tyrion while I was in Riverlands. She believes that Tyrion was the one who plotted to assassinate your brother Bran, so she arrested him and sent him to the nearest city of Eagle's Nest for trial. ”

"This ...... I don't know. ”

She chose what she thought was the most direct and trouble-free way, looking for the nearest helper, thinking that she would be able to avenge her son. Zhao Mai shrugged: "If she catches Tyrion, and then, against all risks, chooses the stupidest and most laborious way, and goes to King's Landing with great fanfare, and asks the king for a trial, that would be the most correct move." She has hostages in her hands and enough attention, but she still acts within the rules, and if the Lannisters try to snatch Tyrion, they will be seen as working against the king. Your father is the Prime Minister, and he has such a good relationship with the king that he can crusade against the Lannisters in the name of it. ”

"Tyrion isn't Duke Tywin's favorite son, and Tywin doesn't think Tyrion is a murderer, and he wants to see Stark jokes, so it's likely that this trial will take place. When all the evidence is on the table, when everyone has to testify in front of everyone, everything will fall into place. Jon, do you know why there are rules? That's because there are so many flaws in people's personalities, and there are so many changes. Although the rules are rigid, they are at least a standard. Isn't it tragic that Mrs. Caitlin Stark's character flaws have been exploited, and that she is not prepared enough to challenge the rules? ”

"There's some truth to what you're saying. Jon said, "But who is taking advantage of her character flaws?"

"There's no point, the facts are already facts, and the possibility of revealing the ** conspiracy was lost when Caitlyn broke the rules. Zhao Mai said: "The most regrettable thing is that she doesn't really have the power to break the rules." She didn't have soldiers at hand to protect herself, nor did she have enough resourceful people to assist, and she didn't have enough overall vision, so she went all the way to a dead end. Since she didn't follow the rules, Jaime Lannister would have feared that she would go any further, and had Tyrion executed in private. So this swordsman brother who cares about his brother is ready to take your father hostage, or maybe even your sister. You see, that's how it all started. The lack of strength, coupled with lazy choices, has led to the development step by step to the present. ”

"You can see things so clearly. Jon seemed to know Zhao Mai for the first time, "You're not a night watchman, can you go and help my brother?" I'll write to you to recommend you, and you'll be able to help him." ”

"You see, it's another lazy choice. Zhao Mai said: "Jon, I'm not idle, I also have my own things to do, and I have to work hard. I also have my own younger siblings and family members who are in another world and I want to work hard for them. ”

"They...... Dead?"

"No, just in another world, living well. Zhao Mai knew that they would definitely misunderstand, but he could only say this: "I am afraid that one day I will encounter a choice like yours, so I have to improve myself so that I can have a better perspective to change everything." Time is a strange thing, you know?"

Everyone shook their heads together, indicating that they didn't understand—oh, "stupid" Gülen nodded, and he seemed to understand. (To be continued.) )
