Chapter 174 173. The Law of the Unexpected
"You two, bandage him first."
Lan took back Arondette and gave instructions to the two intact cavalry.
The solid record made these two warriors who had a good relationship with Lan En now obey his orders. To a certain extent, this can be regarded as a reflection of personality charm.
"I'll give you the dagger. The shooter's trachea was cut by the blade and he choked to death on his own blood. How are you?"
After Lan En found the shooter's body from the woods, he walked to Ed. While handing Ed the gorgeous dragon bone dagger, he asked about his injury.
The Duke of the North gasped and waved his hand.
"The dagger was given away to you. Without you, all of us would have had our heads removed now. My injury is not bad, the bone in my arm was not injured, just bandage it."
Lan En nodded slightly and inserted the dragon bone dagger into the scabbard of his hunting knife.
"I see you look relieved." The demon hunter raised his eyes and looked at Ed, "It seems that [Magic Mountain] died here, which made you very relieved?"
< br>
Ed sat down on the body, pulled out the gauze and wrapped it around himself, while putting on a smile on his face that was covered in cold sweat.
"The reputation of [The Magic Mountain] resounds throughout the Seven Kingdoms. Even he died here this time. It is unlikely that Tywin will send a stronger team to stop us. Even if he wanted to, he would have to Only if someone dares to take over. Who dares to say that his small group can be stronger than the [Magic Mountain]?" "As for taking turns to harass? What if Tywin Lannister can send troops into the Riverlands one after another? With Wang Ling, I don’t think we need to fight him anymore, so we might as well give up.”
“You’ve been a big help, Lan En. After this, our journey back to the north will definitely be smoother. . I want to give you the reward you deserve, Lan En. Stark will satisfy his friend."
Lan En smiled and patted the keel knife handle on his waist.
"You paid the bill, Eddard."
"That's not enough." The Duke of the North said seriously, "That's far from enough to repay your help, whether in King's Landing or here. You deserve more Much better stuff."
Lan En curled his lips helplessly.
When it comes to gold coins, he is actually not very good at holding them.
The 10,000 golden dragons in the tournament are already quite heavy, plus I have to take the dragon bones. If I ask for gold coins again, I have to worry about whether I can get home.
Moreover, as a demon hunter wandering the world alone, it seems that there is not much use in asking for too many gold coins to go back.
But looking at Ed like this, he must have wanted to repay himself.
The old-fashioned knight is not easily convinced.
"Okay, if you really want to give it"
So as a joke, Lan En said something in a very nonchalant tone.
"After you go back, give me the first thing you see that you already own but don't know about."
According to Lan En's estimation, it is very likely that Qiao Li set this thing on the fire. A roast rabbit on the table, or a venison steak or something.
But as soon as he finished speaking, an inexplicable breeze blew through the forest, making the leaves rustle.
Ed was obviously stunned when he heard this request.
“Is this a custom from your hometown? It’s a bit too strange.”
If the Duke of the North had not received a good education, he would not even be able to understand the grammar in the sentence just now.
Lan En nodded naturally.
This sentence once turned him into a de facto slave, but at the moment Bordon died, Lan En personally said to him, "Be clear about everything."
So at the moment, Lan En had no grudge against this sentence in his heart.
"Yes, a custom. When we are not too attached to reward, we tend to let the gods decide what to give us."
It’s a custom! What a shame!
How come you can reveal your secrets?
Seeing Lan En's casual look, Ed nodded and agreed to the reward.
"Sir! We found the horses they brought here in the woods. There were too many dead people to ride them all away, so they are just for you."
Two cavalrymen who were completely intact After cleaning up the battlefield, he shouted happily towards Lan En and Ed.
So the two looked at each other, nodded to each other, and prepared to get up and leave.
——
In the simple camp set up by Qiao Li, they were setting up a pot to boil water, and then prepared to put wheat and dried meat in it. The things on the cart were piled together and covered with tarps.
Jory Kelso looked at the water line in the pot and frowned.
"This firewood is not enough, I will get some more."
A subordinate who was cutting dried meat raised his head and replied.
"I know, you go ahead."
After that, Qiao Li took out the hatchet from the pile of debris and prepared to chop some.
Contrary to the common sense of many people, the xylem of plants does great damage to the blade. Therefore, a sword that is used to chop people will not double as a hatchet unless there is no substitute.
Qiao Li walked toward the woods behind the camp with his hatchet in hand, but when he passed by the pile of boxes on the car, he suddenly slowed down his steps.
Because there was actually a "clattering" sound coming from the box that was supposed to be just a pile of dead things.
Qiao Li bent down slightly, put down the hatchet in his hand, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and moved towards the pile of boxes.
At the same time, the experienced guard captain was also guessing what was going on.
Beast? Rat? spy? assassin? .
In any case, under the current situation, whoever hinders the return of the Northern Duke to mobilize troops will have a huge impact on the war situation.
Then Jory Kelso is naturally ready to kill all the enemies he encounters on the road.
The guard captain moved slowly.
The scene behind the box is about to come into view.
No matter who is behind the box, he can't leave today.
"Alia?!!!"
Qiao Li, who had looked "fight to the death" just now, now opened his eyes wide, with a look of madness on his face and shouted uncontrollably.
Behind a pile of boxes, I saw a thin and small shadow, followed by a pair of gleaming wolf eyes, standing on the edge of the box and taking out dried meat.
In this dark night, Jory could recognize this young lady of the Stark family without even using a torch!
The little girl who was taking out dried meat from the box froze, then slowly turned back tentatively and showed a flattering smile to Qiao Li.
By the way, her mouth and Nymeria's mouth both had a piece of dried meat stuffed bulgingly.
"Ah, aha! Uncle Qory!"
Aaliyah greeted awkwardly. At this time, Jory had already started to cover his head and had a headache.
He knew what was going on without even thinking!
Thankfully, he also said that the box was abnormally heavy! It contains a direwolf and a child!
Qiao Li knew very well what would happen to Aria next. She would definitely find a bunch of reasons to make people laugh, intending to show that her coming here was a complete accident.
And seeing as you have been running away for so long, you probably don’t have time to send him back, so you might as well just keep him with you.
“Uncle Qory, this was just an accident.”
Qiao Li's face turned dull after hearing the beginning.
Sure enough!
"Alia, shut up!"
"Oh." The little girl nodded obediently and shut her mouth.
“Wait until your father comes back.” Qiao Li covered his face frantically, “You can tell your father yourself.”
So, when Ed and Lan En came back with their bodies full It was blood when the three surviving soldiers came back. The first thing I saw was the little girl and the direwolf sitting by the fire.
The Duke of the North first called out "Alia" in surprise, and then he seemed to remember something. He opened his mouth and turned to look at the witcher behind him.
Then he discovered that the witcher's expression was very different from his.
