Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

The second difficulty is drinking water. Lan Zuo polluted the water source above them, and people will get sick if they drink the water.The mad king took out the wine for everyone to drink, and passed the emergency first.Then he discussed the countermeasures with the people, and someone suggested to boil the water before citing it, because the flame can purify everything.Others suggested digging a well, because the land in Eagle Head City is wet, there must be groundwater.

The Mad King took these "poor man's advice" and surprisingly, it worked.

The third difficulty is hunger. The Mad King has already prepared for this matter. According to his three stages, people survived.

With their help, Eagle Head City persisted and survived the winter like this.

But now, here comes the problem.

The granary is almost empty, and there are few other edible substitutes left.People starve to death every day, people are too hungry to work, and soldiers are too hungry to stand guard.Nothing, not even bark and grass roots, mice and cockroaches.

The fourth phase of the plan must be implemented.

In the fourth stage, human flesh is the last food.

However, in the eyes of the people in the northern border, cannibalism is a great sin. People who cannibalize will become devils and will fall into hell after death.The mad king can't let everyone change their sons and eat them by raising his arms.

He has to lead by example.

He had to cook his closest relatives in front of everyone.

He came to the sleeping palace of Tianhu Lake, where the princesses organized women to work and produce things needed for war.Moreover, the dormitory has also been transformed into a hospital, where injuries and illnesses are recuperated.

But he still played a trick, he reserved the second floor of the bedroom for his concubines to live in.This is the only place where he can relax.

He came to the second floor.

"My girls." He said hoarsely, "I've come to see you."

The door opened immediately.

It was Celisna who opened the door, her blond hair falling like straw over her shoulders, her deep-set eye sockets filled with dark circles.

Yet her smile was the same as before.

"Your Majesty, you are here." She hugged the Mad King.She smelled sour, but the Mad King didn't mind, he liked it.

Not only is the mad king getting old, but the princesses are also getting old.

The concubines ate and lived with him, climbed the city wall together, and worked like slaves.Some people cry, no one complains, the mad king loves them, and they love the mad king.

There was so little food that even the princess would get nothing, and the Mad King wanted them to set an example, and they had to live a hard life.

This kind of life caused the concubines to change their appearance.

Their hands and feet became rough and their skin gradually became dull.Sethe's sister was strong and thick like a rich peasant woman, but her sister was thin like a slave girl who couldn't get enough to eat; Hannah's full breasts drooped like shriveled pears; "Black Pearl" His skin is no longer smooth, and if he closes his eyes and touches it, he is just like an old farmer.

Koreya is blind in one eye and crippled; Lisa loses six nails and her hands are forever covered in dirty bandages; Vivienne's belly is distended, but not from pregnancy; Sheena suffers from chronic insomnia , the bloodshot eyes are like cobwebs in the basement...

They were ugly, they were old, but the Mad King loved them more than ever.

He said nothing, kissed Celisna quietly, and then he kissed each girl.

"Girls, today..." He choked up, "Today..." He wanted to talk, but his voice became more and more funny.Koreya hugged him, Hannah came and put her arms around him, and the girls came and surrounded him.Everyone seemed to have a feeling that something was going to happen.

So the Mad King didn't say a word, only cried.

He cried for a long time until he couldn't breathe.He knew that this was not going to work, so he coughed a few times and said, "Girls, I...I need you..." He swallowed, "I know it's difficult, but I want you to draw lots and choose one... ...just one person."

The girls only wanted what he meant, because the Mad King had hinted at them before.

Hannah said to him: "Your Majesty, there is no need to draw lots, let me do it." Then sister Yafei grabbed him and said, "No, I am the fattest now, let me do it." Ya also said: "Your Majesty, please use me." Then the girls petitioned one after another, asking for that spot.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no! I said draw lots!" The Mad King scratched his hair.How can I have the heart to choose one of you?How can I bear to eat you!

So they began to draw lots, 24 princesses, 24 lots.They lined up and started taking them one by one. Hannah shook her head and said, "White." Then Coria took it and said, "It's white, too."

The Mad King was trembling aside, the more the girls drew lots, the more he trembled... No, no!Don't be Yafei, don't be Selena, don't be Yafei and don't be Black Pearl!

The lottery continues, and there are fewer and fewer people left...

"White." "White." "I am white too."

Harleen, Eno, don't you two, I love the way you both dance, and I want to hear you sing!

"White." "Well, it's white."

Fanny, Jennifer, and Flora, you can't do it either!No, stop smoking!Enough, maybe there is no red in there, by the way, I may have misplaced, there is no red in there.The mad king's teeth were chattering, and cold sweat dripped down his neck.

"White." "White." "White."

That leaves Sethe, Elena, Vivienne, and Amika... no no no no no no no no!None of them can do, no, no...

"No way!" He rushed up and overturned the lottery.

"No, no, no, no, no, no..." The Mad King trampled on the sticks. He found the red one, broke it, chewed it up, ate it, and then he sobbed.

"No one wants to die, no one can!"

"Your Majesty!" The princesses knelt in front of him.

The Mad King shook his head and said: "Forget it, forget it, I won't play anymore, I won't play anymore! Let the city break down, let's all go to hell!" He shouted hoarsely.

"Your Majesty!" The concubines made a petition again, and every girl said that she was willing to be that sacrifice, imploring the mad king to show mercy.

The mad king also knelt in front of them. The mad king slapped himself hard, and then said: "I defend the city for you! If you are dead, I have nothing to defend! Enough, girls, Do me a favor too, I'm going to end this."

The princesses all cried together.

"Listen to me!" cried the Mad King to them. "I have made a pact with Camtrane Lastor! When I..." When I die, "When I surrender, when I The moment you are not the king, he will come to rescue you and take you away! You must listen to him and follow him!"

The princesses shouted: "We only follow you!"

"You must obey my orders! I may not die!" He lied to the girls for the first time, "You are safe first, then I can be saved easily. As long as you are alive, we will meet each other eventually."

The palace fell silent, and then the mad king threw himself into the arms of the princess, crying like a child.

After weeping, the mad king walked out of the bedroom, rode on the only good horse left, put on the most beautiful clothes, and carried the heaviest crown, and walked to the city gate.

After coming out of the bedroom, everyone in the castle followed behind him.Soldiers followed him, knights followed him, nobles and officials, commoners and slaves, old people and children, whores and beggars... People poured out of castles, houses, streets... The people followed Behind the mad king, he came to the gate of the city like a flock of sheep following the head sheep.

The Mad King knew what to say.

He turned his head, with a serious face like a real king.

"I... am ashamed of you." The Mad King said.

"It was my stupidity and cowardice that caused what happened today, and it was my stubbornness that caused this year's disaster."

"I don't deserve to be king, but even today, I have no way out. Let me take it all."

"I'll take it all."

"I'm here to end this war."

"My people, you..."

He settled down and said what Ling had always wanted to say.

"He is my most loyal warrior."

"And I am not worthy of your loyalty."

People were quiet as if they were attending a funeral, looking at the mad king with sad eyes. Then, the woman began to sob, the soldiers began to sigh, and the children became confused.

At this time, an old man knelt down quietly.

It is none other than his king that he kneels.

Then beggars, militiamen, and slaves all knelt down, and the men knelt, and so did the women.The children also knelt down.

Then the soldiers knelt down, the generals knelt down, and the nobles took off their helmets and gloves and knelt down too.

The knights knelt, the commoners knelt, and the people knelt together and worshiped their king.

The leader of the paladins was the last man standing, and he fought alongside the Mad King for an entire year.

"It's not your fault, Your Majesty," he said.

After saying this, he also knelt down.

The people of Eaglehead fell to their knees, to their king.

The mad king—little king, he finally knows what it feels like to be human.Finally he doesn't have to worry when he sleeps, finally he is not afraid of someone being poisoned, finally he can wander in the garden at night...

Finally, he is like a king.

But all this came too late.

"What the hell is the use of this!"

He growled.

"If you could say that ten years ago, I would have unified the whole world!"

No one answered him, people just bowed their heads.

"If ten years ago..." he choked up, "...and someone treated me like this, I would be the real king!"

Immediately, the city was crying loudly, more tears were shed in Yingtou City this day than this year.

"Enough is enough, my people, you have failed me, and I have failed you even more. Now, let the suffering end."

Alone, the king walked to the gate's gate, and when the gate was pulled, the guards dropped their chains, and the gate opened.

He touched the rusty handle and his hands trembled.

He looked back to Eagle Head City.

The castle stands here, stone bricks, towers, walls... as if everything has never changed.But there are not many soldiers here, and the arrogance of the past has disappeared from the faces of the people. There is no traffic, no laughter, no red dust, no human habitation.There are only a bunch of haggard "old people" left.

Eaglehead, it's old too.

The year took away the lifespan of the entire city.

Time to end.

He shouted: "O Buggar Kahn! Come and take your king's life!"

The king opened his door.

The iron chain slides between the gears, and the gears rotate rapidly, and the sound is as sweet as the sounds of nature.Dust and mud fell down the cracks, making people cough.However, at this time, a ray of sunlight pierced through the dust and entered the city.

The king stood at the gate, and he was the first to greet the air outside the city.

The spring of March is coming, the sun is like a girl's sweet breasts, and the warm wind carries the fragrance of flower buds.The dust cleared, and his land was breathing on him.

Cade Heworth, he laughed excitedly, he closed his eyes and felt the spring.Once again he heard laughter, saw the busy traffic, saw the once glorious northern border, saw his princess again, and saw the comfortable nest of Tianhu Lake...

He was hard again.

People grow old, heroes grow old, and cities grow old.

Only the spring breeze will not grow old.

Only the spring breeze is eternal.

Chapter 29: The Day of King's Landing, One

Chapter 29: The Day of King's Landing

Bowle Kahn finally got Eaglehead City.

He didn't feel the joy and excitement that he expected, but felt a lot more relaxed.

This year has also been difficult for him.The army was short of food and clothing, and the scorching heat, disease, and severe cold were tormenting them.But in the end he won, the overlord made history, and he will ascend the throne in the imperial capital in the north.

Now, he is not only the King of Sands Castle and the King of the Bayland, but also the King of Eaglehead City, the King of the North and the World.

Ba Gu sat on the throne of Eagle Head City, he was not used to that small chair, he wanted to change it to a bigger one.

The old King in the North was tied up by him and knelt before him.
