Chapter 239: Duke Stark is assassinated
Whether the goods are good or not must be seen, and the current Li Nan is the person who waits for the price to sell. When he shows his worth, the Duke and Duchess of Stark decide whether to solicit or not, and offer the corresponding price.
After understanding this, Li Nan did not refuse, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, put down his knife and fork, picked up his spear and stood in the empty space of the hall.
The captain of the guard, Jori's weapon was a one-handed light sword, but it was heavier than the sword of the southerners, about four or five kilograms, he came to Li Nan and said, "My lord, please advise!" ”
"Please!" After Li Nan answered, he danced the spear with one hand and fought with Jory.
After coming to this world, Li Nan had not fought against the local natives, so he also planned to learn about it, so he took a defensive position at the beginning.
There was no deep hatred on both sides, just a simple exchange, although the scene was fierce but not dangerous, a few minutes later, Li Nan was also roughly familiar with the other party's swordsmanship routine.
The world is similar in many ways to medieval Europe, and Jory's wide-open swordsmanship has also appeared in history.
Whether it's Jory's one-handed sword, or Eddard. Stark's two-handed greatsword is suitable for slashing rather than stabbing.
Jory kept swinging his sword to attack, but in reality he only had three moves, which were the upward slash, the downward slash, and the horizontal slash. However, this captain of the guard does have some real kung fu, not only is his pace steady and his moves consistent, but he is also good at colliding with Li Nan's spear with a strong sword body close to the hilt.
Western swordsmanship refers to the upper part of the blade close to the hand as the strong sword body, and the lower half as the weak sword body.
According to the principle of leverage, the strong sword body is large and the weak sword body is fast, when intersecting with the opponent's blade, try to collide with the opponent's weak sword body with the strong sword body, so as to make the opponent's attack deviate from the track, when the blades are entangled, by turning the wrist, raising the sword to press the sword, the opponent's weak sword body slides to his own strong sword body, or is held by the sword handle gauntlet, and finally the force has nowhere to use, falling into passivity. This kind of swordsmanship pays attention to fighting strength, but it is not fighting brute force, but using skills and body skills to move a thousand pounds.
Li Nan saw that the time was almost up, and that was all there was to Jory's moves, so he added a little more strength to the spear in his hand and began to fight back.
Jory's swordsmanship is not bad in the eyes of most people, otherwise he would not have become the captain of the duke's guard, but when the strength of the two sides is too different, then many fighting skills will be useless, not to mention comparing skills with the Orientals, it is really beyond his strength.
Li Nan's deadly throat gun was already extremely heavy, and later after adding a layer of black iron shell to the gun, it was even heavier, and when Li Nan's iron gun was infused with strength, no matter how Qiao Li unloaded, he could only be smashed and retreated.
The Stark family is a force drawn by Li Nan from the system, and he will have to live here and accumulate points in the future, so things can't be done absolutely, after three consecutive shots smashed Jory to the edge of the black and gray stone wall, Li Nan put the spear behind him in style.
Li Nan smiled and said to Ed, "Lord Stark, I think today's competition will end here. ”
Ed. Stark himself is a master of swordsmanship, and when he saw Li Nan only holding a gun with his right hand against Jori, he already knew who won and who lost.
Ed smiled and said, "Okay! Jory's swordsmanship is superb, and Leo's marksmanship is also superb, thank you two for the wonderful duel for us! ”
In the applause of everyone, Li Nan sat down and continued to eat, although the captain of the guard, Qiao Li, was defeated, but the northerner was straightforward, and he did not have any ill feelings towards Li Nan.
Li Nan showed enough strength to be able to do so. Stark and his wife Catherine also agreed to the solicitation, but Li Nan had just come to Winterfell, and they didn't want to be too urgent.
As time passed, Li Nan not only became a guest in Winterfell, but also built good relationships with the rest of the Stark family, because he found that as long as he helped any member of the Stark family, he would have a corresponding point income.
Now Li Nan's Dreadnought team has risen in the rankings and has reached fifth place. The sixth-place Sengoku Musou team seems to have joined King Robert's forces, and the worst team is the Universe Owner team of the Han people, who still don't seem to have found the descendants of the Targaryens, so they still have zero points.
Li Nan has not officially sworn allegiance to the Stark family, so he is not eligible to participate in military matters, and his main points are obtained by coaxing children.
Li Nan once said that he was wandering around, so several children of the Stark family always asked him to listen to stories, although Li Nan had not been in this world for a long time, but he could directly take the stories on the earth to tell, and he also knew a lot about these children.
Six-year-old Rickon. Stark and ten-year-old Bran. Stark likes to listen to the myths and legends of twelve-year-old Arya. Stark loves all kinds of exciting adventure stories, and fourteen-year-old Sansa. Stark loved fairy tales about princes and princesses, and seventeen-year-old Rob. Stark loves all kinds of war stories.
Ed. In addition to these five biological flesh and blood, Duke Stark's family also has a seventeen-year-old illegitimate son, Jon. Snow and Theon, a hostage from the Iron Islands' Greyjoy family.
The world is very chaotic, the seven kingdoms seem to be harmonious, and they are constantly fighting each other in secret, in addition to other scattered forces and many robbers, so boys from aristocratic families have to learn martial arts from an early age.
The one who trained the children was Baron Roderick, the head of Winterfell, who is also said to be the uncle of Jory, the captain of the guard, and when he followed Duke Ed to handle military affairs, Li Nan also instructed them to earn some points.
"Rob, it's training now, so you don't need to stay. You have to slash out every sword with all your strength in order to achieve the purpose of the exercise, you know? ”
Seeing that Li Nan in the school field had a whip in his hand, instructing Rob and Jon and others to chop the wooden stakes, and Lady Catherine, who was standing on the wooden bridge of the main fort, said with some distress: "Is Leo too harsh? ”
Duke Ed held his wife's hand, smiled and said, "No, he did a good job, and he can only survive on the battlefield if he works hard while training." ”
Looking at Li Nan's serious appearance, Duke Ed asked, "Leo has been living with us for a while, what do you think of him?" ”
Catherine looked at Li Nan and said, "Leo is a very good person, but he has a bit of a cleanliness habit, he has to take a bath every day, and he never makes love to the prostitutes I send. But he likes to read books very much, and when he has nothing to do, he likes to go to the library to read, and he should be regarded as a person who is both civil and military. ”
"Will he be loyal to us House Stark?"
Catherine smiled at her husband and said, "You have a vast territory in the north, and what these children of declining families hope most is to restore the glory of their ancestors, I believe that as long as you show a little sweetness, you can make him bow down." ”
While the couple were discussing the strategy of subduing Li Nan, the important person in the north, who was equivalent to the Duke's exclusive advisor, doctor and teacher, came to the school grounds, held up the paper scroll in his hand, and shouted anxiously: "Lord Duke, I have an important letter here!" ”
All the scholars on this continent come from the neutral Old Town Academy, and each of them is a talented person, and after graduation, they will be hired by the major lords and nobles to become retainers.
This Maester Ruwen has made great contributions to the Stark family, not to mention that even all the children of Catherine and Duke Eddard were delivered by him.
Ed. Stark and Catherine had never seen Maester Ruwin so anxious, so they hurried down from the castle.
Just as Duke Ed was about to take the letter, Li Nan, who was standing on the side, suddenly grabbed a wooden spear for training, conjured two spear shadows, and smashed it into the hand of Master Lewyn, who was dressed in a woolen robe and looked old, holding the letter and his head.
Everyone was stunned by this change, and when Duke Ed saw that Li Nan actually dared to attack his important minister, he immediately shouted angrily: "Come on, catch Leo ......"
His roar was not over, and even more surprising changes appeared, even the usually slow walking Master Lu Wen abandoned the letter in his hand, and quickly stepped back, dodging Li Nan's two wooden spear smashes.
A thin blue thorn fell out of the letter rolled into a cylinder, and Master Lu Wen, who took a few steps back, looked at Li Nan viciously, and asked unconvinced: "I think I am well disguised, where is it exposed?" ”
"Huh." Li Nan smiled, waved his hand and motioned for Rob and Jon to go to Eddard's side, and then said, "You're a woman, aren't you?" ”
When everyone thought that Master Lu Wen would object, they saw him nodding and asked suspiciously, "How do you know?" ”
Li Nan rubbed his nose and said, "Because only a stupid woman like you will have a fragrance on her body when she pretends to be an old man to assassinate." ”
