Chapter 19: Gendry
The further north you go, the more travelers you encounter, until an important point, the crowd suddenly decreases.
In this regard, Yulun can only raise the vigilance of the team.
He understood what this meant - the convoy was getting closer and closer to the battlefield.
Lin Yi took Arya and walked at the back of the team.
Gendry was surprised by this, he asked Arya once, only to get the answer that the weirdo was teaching her how to learn swords.
After getting this answer, Gendry was even more strange.
Why teach her to learn swords? Why Ali?
Every time she heard such a question, Arya didn't answer it and couldn't answer it.
Her identity is still a secret in the team, and even her current best friend, Gendry, can't tell her.
But soon it will be.
Arya easily slumped behind the convoy, her breath long and strange, with her feet at mystical steps.
Since Lin Yi taught her this set of breathing methods for traveling, Arya felt that her body was getting lighter and lighter, and she didn't feel it difficult to walk for a day.
She even had the illusion that she could fly off the ground with a single tiptoe — and she did, but reality told her that an illusion was an illusion.
Under Lin Yi's teaching, Arya practiced Bagua Steps and Swordsmanship every morning, and had a matching set of breathing techniques when she walked and slept, and her life was quite full and pleasant.
But Lin Yi didn't think so, he just felt weird.
There is nothing difficult to understand, if you can see a little white girl muttering "Qianyuan Henry Zhen, Duize Heroic Soldier" in her mouth every day, stepping on gossip steps, and using "Qinglong Probe Claw" and "Immortal Guidance" in her hand, you will also feel very weird.
But one thing I have to say is that this girl does have some talent in Chinese kung fu, or the foundation of a water dancer is really good.
Lin Yi was already thinking about whether to kidnap a few more water dancer children and establish a path in this world.
While Lin Yi was thinking wildly, the convoy stopped.
It's a fairly populated village, and there's an old inn in the village.
Yu Lun glanced at the supplies he was carrying, counted the copper coins on his body, and turned around and said.
"It's still the old rule, we live outside, but there is a bathhouse here, and if you want to take a bath, you can do it yourself."
Arya's eyes lit up when she heard this, but then they dimmed again.
Although her whole body is sour now, she doesn't dare to go to the bath with everyone, there is no way, the night watchman doesn't want girls.
So she could only watch as Repai and Gendry joined the line for a shower.
Of course, there were many people who didn't plan to take a bath like Arya, and Lin Yi was one of them, and he walked into the front of the hotel counter with Yulun and ordered a few beers.
Lin Yi also paid for three glasses of beer and asked Yu Lun to take them to the three people in the prison car.
Although they were released from the cage, they were still shackled to their feet and chained to the side of the prisoner cart.
Arya leaned against the wall, her sharpening eyes glancing at the three people on the other side.
If they wanted to run, they could have gotten in the carriage and run in the carriage at this moment, but neither the handsome red-and-white-haired prisoner nor the two beast-like villains had any intention of escaping.
Those two beastly guys seemed to know how powerful the teacher was, and every time Lin Yi approached, they were as docile as kittens cowering in the corner.
At the thought of this, Arya couldn't help but envy her master.
Although Lin Yi hadn't taken a bath on the way, he didn't have the sour smell of other people on his body at all.
It's magical for Arya.
She also asked Lin Yi how she did this, but the answer she got made her both disappointed and hopeful.
Lin Yi said that when she turns her strength from light to dark and refined, she can also make the dust fall and mosquitoes and flies will not get on her body.
After the guys finished their showers, everyone gathered in the hotel to eat pie and baked apples.
"I have a younger brother who also wears black, but that was many years ago."
The innkeeper sat next to Yuren and sighed.
"He was a cousin, but one day he was seen stealing pepper from an adult's table. Alas, he liked the smell and stole a handful, but Sir Malko was a stern man. Do you have pepper at the Great Wall? ”
Yoren shook his head.
"That's a pity, he's just got that bite."
The innkeeper shook his head, and then took a look at the convoy of people.
"Are you still going north?"
Yuren took a beer: "Of course ......"
"You can't go north." The boss shook his head, "Now the fighting in the north is in full swing, and even half of the farmland has been burned to the red-eyed, everyone has run away, and those who haven't run have stayed in the manor and dare not come out." ”
"Cut, it doesn't matter if he's in vain or Lannister, he doesn't care about the Night's Watch." Yulun said nonchalantly.
"It's not just these two, there are also the barbarians from the Mingyue Mountain Range, you should go and talk to them to see if they give the night watchman face." The innkeeper said disdainfully.
"And the Stark family, I heard that the young wolf lord also rode the wolf over."
The yellow-haired man next to him, who was also a traveler, said.
Young wolf master?
Is it Robb?
Arya pricked up her ears, but then felt a pain in her ears.
Arya hurriedly turned her head, and then saw Lin Yi's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Want to take a bath?"
Before she could speak, Arya heard these words that touched her heart.
"The last few days have been doing well and that's a bonus. Yoron, I'll take this kid to take a bath. ”
Lin Yi turned his head and said casually, and then dragged Arya towards the bathhouse.
At this time, there were very few people in the bathhouse.
As long as Lin Yi blocked her in the corner, with the shriveled body of a nine-year-old girl, outsiders couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.
Arya had long treated Lin Yi as a teacher, and the bones of her body had already been pinched by Lin Yi when she recognized the bones, so she would not feel shy in front of Lin Yi.
In other words, the desire to take a bath has long surpassed the extreme shyness.
Lin Yi's expression was even more calm, he had a black towel around his waist that he didn't know where to get, and he was humming a soothing little song in his mouth.
Arya listened as she washed, knowing that it was the kind of mysterious language that her teacher had taught her, but she hadn't learned the lyrics.
Sooner or later, you'll learn!
Arya thought so, her calloused little hands rubbing her skin.
After leaving the Red Keep, her skin finally came into contact with the outside air again, which made Arya's heart feel a burst of joy.
……
……
Just when Lin Yi took Arya to take a bath in the bathhouse, a group of uninvited guests came from outside the hotel.
Looking at the six horses parked outside the hotel, Yulun frowned.
"Golden robes?"
It was six guards of the capital in black armor and a cloak of golden wool, one of whom was an officer with four gold plates on his shoulders.
"There's trouble."
Yuren took a deep breath and casually pulled the "green hand" Romi to the side.
"Go to the bathhouse and call the guy with the mask out."
Romy nodded, glanced at the golden robe at the door with some fear, and then turned to leave.
"Hey! Guy dressed in black. ”
The officer at the head entered the hotel, and the others dismounted and followed him.
"I got an order to find a boy."
"Oh?"
Yuren picked up his sword and walked over with a nonchalant expression.
"What kind of boy are you looking for? It's all the Night's Watch brothers, and there's no boy you want. ”
"Old fellow, the person who wants him is the Queen Mother, you'd better not meddle in your affairs."
The officer snorted coldly, and then pulled a ribbon from his waist.
"Take a good look, this is the Queen Mother's imperial seal."
Yoren pursed his lips, took the ribbon, and touched the golden beeswax imprint on it.
"Well, it's pretty good." Yolun threw it back, "But, now that the kid joined the Night's Watch, whatever he did before, it's all gone. ”
"Do you think the Queen Mother cares about this?" The golden-robed officer laughed, "I just informed you, without asking for your consent, I must take this child away today." ”
"Don't even think of taking any of them with you." Yoren scoffed.
The golden-robed guard suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist and sneered.
"It's not up to you."
"Isn't it just a sword?" Yu Lun looked at the golden-robed officer, the corners of his mouth curled, and patted the hilt of the sword on his waist, "It just so happens that I also have one." ”
"Old fellow, there are six of us."
"Hey!" Yuren laughed, "We have thirty. ”
"Hahaha!"
The golden-robed men looked at each other, then laughed at the tattered clothes that filled the hotel.
"That's it?"
The golden-robed men laughed.
But what they didn't expect was that these people who were holding knives, sticks, hammers, and even stones actually surrounded them one by one, and even the fat hot faction did not flinch.
But the golden robes still didn't take them seriously.
"It's terrible~ Put those stone sticks down, I'm about to be scared to death!"
A golden-robed man laughed.
"You should be afraid."
A childish voice came, drawing the eyes of the golden-robed people to the past.
The officer looked Arya up and down with a sewing needle and said with a smile.
"Put down your sword, little sister, we won't kill women and children."
"I'm not a girl!" Arya shouted.
She obviously didn't realize that after taking a shower, her face had become beautiful again.
The golden-robed men were still smiling, and Arya took a deep breath and took the sewing needle in her hand.
"Come on, if you want to take me, it's up to you to do it."
"Take you?" The golden-robed officer shook his head, raised the sword in his hand and pointed at Gendry, "Whoever wants to take you away, I want him to be the one I want!" ”
