Chapter 92

Oh, that's the sound of Theon's sword unsheathed.

"Father, it's not time to teach him a lesson. I will fight to preserve my dignity. ”

Ned nodded slightly. He also felt that the samurai in front of him was a little arrogant. You know, Theon is better at bows and arrows. But swordsmanship is also excellent among the younger generation. An unknown wandering samurai, he didn't pay much attention to it.

It is only natural that the world thinks this way. The world of nobility has better swords, stronger armor, abundant meat, and perfect training. The vast majority of wandering samurai have a hard time fighting against regular knights.

"I'll start by saying okay, you're a nobleman. And I'm just a civilian. If I hurt you, I won't be in trouble, will I? Su Yuan seemed to say this to Theon, but it was actually said to Ned. Sure enough, Ned listened to this, frowned, and then said.

"I swear in the name of the Old Gods that this will be a fair matchup. If you can defeat Theon, we can let you come back to Winterfell with us. ”

"That's fine."

Theon couldn't wait to rush up. Although he was angry, his pace was not chaotic, and he could see that the foundation was still good. However, what he met was Su Yuan. An open-minded traverser.

Seeing Theon's sword coming, Su Yuan's body suddenly moved. Theon only felt a flower in front of his eyes, and his scalp was cold. Then the two staggered. Theon knew he hadn't hit anything. And Su Yuan turned around unhurriedly, with a strand of black hair hanging from his one-handed sword.

Only then did Theon realize that the coldness of his scalp just now was not an illusion. There is no doubt that as long as the other party wants to, the sword just now can easily cut his throat.

There was silence. Winning or losing swordsmanship competitions is a common thing. But the scene just now is really a bit beyond everyone's imagination. That kind of swordsmanship that is extremely fast has never appeared in this world. Everyone, including Ned Stark, swallowed a mouthful of saliva in unison. That's a sign of being shocked by Qi Qi.

Several knights had even instinctively drawn their swords. It wasn't that he wanted to violate the rules of the duel, but he was frightened by Su Yuan's swordsmanship that he showed in an instant. Rob and the others also reacted, and drew their swords one after another to block in front of Ned. If the person in front of them was really an assassin, these people were even ready to fight to the death.

"Uh...... Is this a dueling tradition in the North? After hitting one, and then fighting a group? Su Yuan stared at Ned's face and mocked. However, Ned is still relatively reliable in this regard. He withdrew his men and signaled them not to be nervous. As a lord of the North, he still has the courage to do so.

It's not that they will besiege Su Yuan for this matter. What's more, he vaguely felt that even if he besieged it, it was estimated that it would not be beneficial. When he was young, he once fought with the number one swordsman in the world at that time, the Sword God, no, it was the Dawn Sword God. But he had never seen such terrifying speed in the other party. I feel that Sir Dane, the sword god of dawn back then, if he had this speed, there would be no him today. He scattered the crowd and said.

"No, you won. As agreed, you can go back with us. Give him a horse. ”

"Look, that's why he's a lord and you're just a vassal. Well, in return, I have a gift for you, honorable lord. ”

As he spoke, Su Yuan brought out the cubs of the six ice wolves from the grass behind him.

"Icewolf, it matches the Stark family crest. I think it's fitting for the Stark children to raise these six ice wolves. I see, you have a lot of children. ”

Ned was a little moved by this. The other party did not show any malice, and what he said, as well as the ice wolf in his hand, were also very in line with his family's inheritance. In return, of course, I have to be the first to express myself. Although the political acumen is average, these basic sensitivities are still there. He nodded, motioning for a few of the children to come forward and take the little wolf cubs.

Soon the group rode back to Winterfell.

For Su Yuan, he was still a little excited to come to the legendary place he had dreamed of. It's just that when he arrives in Winterfell, he's disappointed.

It is not unreasonable that the feudal system in this world has not broken through for 8,000 years. Bad habits are deeply ingrained. Although it will not be all over the floor. But chaos is still affordable. This kind of urban planning makes Su Yuan, a person who is used to seeing a modern city, unacceptable at all.

All kinds of small vendors set up stalls on the street, and when they saw a group of knights passing by, they hurriedly gave way, but continued to make a living after that. There is no maintenance or hardening of the road surface, and countless civilians walk on the muddy and dirty road. But looking at them, it seems that they have become accustomed to it.

Ned, who had been silently observing Su Yuan, noticed the lightening change on Su Yuan's face. Obviously, the other party was not impressed by his 'Xiongcheng', but showed a look that was nothing more than that. Winterfell is the oldest city in the world. The Stark family's castle is also one of the oldest, strongest and grandest castles in the world. But in Su Yuan's eyes, these all turned into a pile of rags.

When he arrived at the castle, of course, Su Yuan was not qualified to enter. Ned didn't talk to him either. But as soon as Su Yuan left, he immediately arranged the guards around him.

"Keep up with the samurai, but don't anger him. Tell him that I will have a small banquet in the castle tonight and invite him to it. ”

Ned isn't a fool either. On his trip to the wolf forest, he met a top samurai comparable to the Dawn Sword God. Anyway, I'm going to try to win it over. Moreover, as the lord of the northern realm, one of the most powerful people in the Seven Kingdoms, he can promise more conditions. For a wandering samurai, it should be impossible to refuse.

Then he ordered a group of people to go down and let them collect information about Su Yuan. Where he's from, where he's been there, whatever. This is also a regular operation. But in the eyes of a few children, it is a bit unusual. Rarely did they see their father so attentive to an outsider.

"Father, do you think highly of him? Why not just give him the title of knight, as a wandering samurai, he will surely be happy. Rob didn't understand why his father had made it so complicated.

"No, you don't understand. Do you think you can beat Theon in a single move? ”

"Uh...... No, at least twenty moves. Theon's swordsmanship is still good. ”

Ned turned around and asked his family's swordsmanship leader, Rodric.

"What about you? How long do you think it will take you to defeat Theon? ”

"About twenty moves, the young master's swordsmanship is no longer under me."

"yes. Rob's swordsmanship is already good in the North. Even if it is ranked, it is at least in the top 20. So how much do you think it can be lined up for Grant? ”

Ned's question silenced everyone around him. They had to admit the fact that judging from his stunning performance. The entire northern territory, or even the entire Seven Kingdoms, may not be able to be taken over. So, how much can he rank?
