Li Lingyi didn't have any purpose in teaching Arya swordsmanship, he just did it casually, after all, he really liked this girl very much, and he hoped that she would suffer less in the future.

followed Arya to the place where Stark and his party lived, and when the two came to the door, they were just in time for Eddard Stark to come back from the Red Keep, and he was also slightly surprised to see Li Lingyi, after all, he had also seen the battle between the latter and his son Robb all the way.

"You..."

"Father, I want him to be my swordsmanship teacher!" Arya said happily, "His swordsmanship is amazing! Brother Robb is no match for him!"

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister. Li Ling nodded at Eddard, who looked at him a few times, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked down at his daughter, "Arya, I have already found you a swordsman, he is Syrio Vriel, the famous chief swordsman. ”

"I don't want it!" Arya pursed her lips and refused, "I want him to be my teacher!

“……”

Ed was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then looked at Li Lingyi again. Indeed, at that time, he also watched the whole battle, and admitted that the young man in front of him had a very high level of swordsmanship, and his swordsmanship was quite weird, unlike the more popular swordsmanship in the mainland, but very fast, accurate and ruthless, but it was also quite suitable for girls to learn.

"I heard your name is Ivy Crane and you're a freelance mercenary. Ed asked.

"Yes. ”

The reason why Ed knew these things was also mentioned by Catherine when she chatted with him, and everyone was naturally a little interested in this new young swordsman.

"Father, don't ask so much!" Arya was a little anxious, unwilling to let Ed keep asking, she wanted to learn swordsmanship as soon as possible now, and then defeat her brother when she went back to anger him.

"But I've already hired a good teacher for you. Ed looked at Arya a little helplessly and said.

"Then I can take two classes at the same time!" Arya's deft eyes blinked, "Isn't that okay?"

"Two people in class at the same time?" Ed laughed, "Are you sure you have the determination?"

"Of course!"

"Oh well. Ed nodded, "In that case, I'll agree." He looked at Li Lingyi, "I'll pay you for what you won." ”

"No, Lord Duke. Li Ling smiled and said, "I volunteered to teach Miss Arya. As for the reward, I'll take it from the tournament that is going to start soon. ”

"You want to participate in the martial arts competition?" Ed and Arya both looked at Li Lingyi in surprise, after all, the latter was really not very old, he looked like he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was only four or five years older than Arya. It's a bit dangerous to participate in a jousting tournament at this age. After all, most of the participants were quite old soldiers who had been through a lot of battles, and this was not a competition, and it was completely unusual for them to die in the competition.

"Yes. Li Lingyi nodded in the face of inquiry, "I will participate and win the championship back." ”

"Oh!" Arya suddenly looked at Li Lingyi with some anticipation when she heard this, and Ed frowned, saying in her heart that she was really a boy who didn't know the height of the sky. Although he admits this kid's ability, it is not so simple to win the championship in the martial arts competition.

But now that he has promised Arya, Ed can't regret it, so he can only bring the two into the fortress and arrange a room for Li Lingyi, and then Arya can't wait to find Li Lingyi and want to learn swordsmanship.

The two came to a clearing and took each other a wooden sword, Li Ling thought about it, if he wanted to teach, he would teach the most practical thing, not the art of sparring, but the art of killing. In this world, learning swordsmanship with sparring is basically a dead end, such as Arya's other teacher, Celio, whose strength is also very strong, but he died in the hands of Marin Tran.

If he had chosen not to defeat Marin's men one by one with a wooden sword, but to directly grab an iron sword and fight to the death, he would definitely not have ended up dead. Therefore, what Li Lingyi wants to teach is not honor fighting, but the real killing technique of life and death.

"As a girl, your natural weakness is a lack of strength. Li Lingyi lightly held the sword in one hand and looked at Arya, "What about your advantages, can you tell me?"

"Well," Arya thought for a moment and said loudly, "I'm running fast!"

“…… That's right. Li Ling nodded, "Your stature is more petite, your movement is more flexible, and the area that can be attacked is even smaller." And what we have to do is to build on our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. I'm not going to train you in strength, I think your other teacher will teach you that, I'll teach you, how to get faster, and all the key positions in the human body. ”

"Yes!" Arya nodded excitedly, "I just want to learn your very fast swordsmanship!" she said with a puzzled look on her face, "But if it's important, isn't it the heart, neck, face, and the like?"

"Nope. Li Lingyi shook his head, "Everyone knows what you said, so others will pay more attention to the defense there, and you are not easy to attack." What I'm going to teach you is that there are some imperceptible key points in people, many people don't care, but once they are attacked, they are very deadly!"

After speaking, Li Lingyi's wrist moved suddenly, and Arya only felt the light yellow light of the wooden sword in front of her flash, and she felt a pain in her right leg without seeing anything, and her whole body fell to the ground involuntarily.

"Ahh

"I didn't hit your knee, I hit your knee socket. Li Lingyi said, "This is a part that few people will care about, but even with this kind of wooden sword, a slight impact can make a person fall to the ground, and all you need is a light sword to make its head fall to the ground." ”

"But!" Arya stood up a little unconvinced, "but why not just hit the head!"

"Because there's a helmet on the head. Li Lingyi rubbed Arya's head and said, "There is armor on the body, and some people will put some golden dragons in the armor at the heart of the chest, if you attack, it is very likely that you will be bounced to the ground directly, and then someone will make up for it casually." ”

"So, what you have to do is attack where the enemy is unguarded, and that's your advantage because you're quick. If you're strong, you're going to be able to add to it, because you're strong enough to swing your sword and smash the opponent's armored head, understand?"

“…… I see. Arya scratched her cheek, giving a thoughtful look.
