Chapter 409: Solicitation
Looking at Arya's cunning expression, Li Lingyi felt a little funny, the current little wolf girl is still relatively simple and naughty, and she is still far from the decisive cold-faced killer in the future.
"What kind of swordsmanship are yours, it looks so cool!" Arya said, imitating Li Lingyi's sword before and waving her arm twice, her expression couldn't contain her excitement, "I've never seen such a strange swordsmanship!" Can you teach me?"
"Why should I teach you?" Li Lingyi clasped his hands to his chest, looked at the little wolf girl, and said with a smile, "I don't know you." ”
"I can give you tuition!" said Arya suddenly, "I can pay you a lot of tuition if you are willing to teach me!"
"Well...," Li Ling thought for a moment, "Well, if we have a chance to encounter it in the future, I'll teach you." After saying that, he turned to leave, and a trace of loss flashed on Arya's little face, and then she waved her fist and smiled proudly, "As long as you are still in winter, then it is very easy for me to find you!"
Back at the inn, he still has a good impression of Arya, who is almost his favorite person in the Stark family. After going through all kinds of hardships, taking on the heavy responsibility of avenging the family with the arm of a little girl and implementing it step by step, this is not something ordinary people can do.
It's just that according to the plot, she and her sister and Eddard are going to King's Landing next, so it doesn't make sense to take in apprentices at this time, as for the future, he already has a little idea, and before that, he has to make a try.
At night, there is a knock on the door of the room, and Li Ling opens the door together, and it is none other than the two Lannister siblings, Cersei and Jaime.
"Hello, young mercenary. Cersei said with her chin raised, her delicate face tinged with imperceptible arrogance, and the pale yellow dress and mink coat she wore didn't match the humble room.
"Your Majesty. Li Lingyi nodded slightly, and his heart turned to understand the meaning of the two. There is no doubt that the battle between him and Robb must have been seen by them, so I am afraid that the arrival at this time is also meant to solicit.
Sure enough, Cersei got straight to the point: "I saw your battle with Robb Stark, and I appreciate your strength. As she spoke, she smiled with the perfect smile that nobles excel at, "If you're willing to be loyal to me and the Lannisters, you'll get whatever you want." Titles, money, women, whatever. ”
Li Ling smiled when he heard this, he really wanted to say a word about everything, including you, but it was estimated that Jaime was going to fight with himself at the moment he finished speaking, and it was not yet the time to go to war, so he just said softly: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, allow me to refuse your kindness." ”
"......" Cersei was slightly stunned when she heard this, as if she didn't expect the young man in front of her to refuse her proposal, her face was slightly lowered, and her eyes were a little sharp, "Yes, can you give me a reason?"
"The mercenary is used to life, but he is also used to this freedom. Li Lingyi said casually, "So it's really boring to be loyal or something." ”
It's boring to be loyal to me, to the Lannisters?
Cersei narrowed her eyes, already very angry, but her upbringing prevented her from showing it, she looked away, walked a few steps in the cramped room, let out a soft disdainful laugh, glanced at Jaime, and then walked softly to the door.
"Boy, has your dark-skinned head been frozen by the cold winds of the North?" Cersei came out of the room, and Jaime said with a smile, "Do you know how many knights are willing to pay anything for their allegiance to the Lannisters?
The current Jaime is not as mature as after the severed hand in the future, and now he is a monarch killer, with a handsome appearance and strong strength, and he is also quite frivolous, so at this time he speaks simply and directly, without the appearance of a nobleman.
"Money, woman, you have everything you want. Jaime casually said, "Even if you show enough loyalty, we can make you a precedent." Isn't it better to have a knighthood and a territorial army than to be a little mercenary?"
Jaime said with a look of certainty, and indeed if the two were compared, almost no one would choose to give up a lucrative knightly life and choose to become a precarious mercenary.
"Please go back. Contrary to Jaime's expectations, Li Lingyi still refused without hesitation: "What you said is indeed very good, but I don't want to gain it through allegiance." ”
"......" Jaime was stunned for a moment, his face a little gloomy, "Don't you want to gain allegiance? ”
"Then are you going to arrest me, Monarch Killer?" Li Lingyi said casually, although he was unwilling to clash with the Lannister family now, he was just unwilling and not daring. If it really annoys him, then he doesn't mind trying to see if he can reverse the plot.
"Very well, I hope you remember that. Jaime didn't move, he looked at Li Ling for a while and left the room, while Cersei, who was waiting at the door, looked at him and shook his head.
The two left the inn, and Cersei asked, "What's going on?"
"I'm afraid it's from some big family, and the mercenary is just a disguise. Jaime said with an unkind face, "He called me the Kingkiller, and this is not a name that ordinary mercenaries dare to say in front of me." ”
“…… This is an insult to the Lannisters. Cersei stared at Jaime, "I want him to pay." ”
"This is the North, after all. Jaime was not so impulsive, and calmly persuaded Cersei, "It's not our family's territory, and besides, we're going to leave in the next two days, so there's no need to cause new trouble." ”
"Let the next man do it. Cersei reluctantly said, "Didn't the Magic Mountain come along?" ”
"That young man is very flexible, and it is likely that he will escape if he makes a move. "Besides, we don't know what family he's from, so it's not good if there's any strife." You should understand Cersei, some people are still dissatisfied with the royal family, calling us kingstealers. If that kid is really the young master of some big family, in case... Our fleet is only 100 people. ”
Cersei listened to Jaime's words, thought about it for a moment, and seemed to calm down a little, and then the two returned to the city. At this time, Li Lingyi also walked out of the shadows, looked at the backs of the two of them leaving, and sneered.
In fact, he wanted Cersei to stick to his opinion, send the guy from the magic mountain, and then he just took the opportunity to kill him alone, after all, it is not so easy to kill him if he is mixed in the crowd, it is estimated that in the game of thrones world, the magic mountain wears the most layers of armor and the thickest, and Li Lingyi is naturally not sure that he will kill him with one blow through the armor.
