Chapter 22: Bastards

Inside the hotel, Yoren calmed the trembling boss and then punched him in the stomach.

The innkeeper fainted with a relieved expression.

Yoren walked past him, walked to the back of the counter, picked up two bottles of beer and walked over.

"Steal without telling you."

Lin Yi clasped his hands to his chest and said with a smile.

"If he can save a small life, he should be secretly happy, will he care about two bottles of beer?"

Yuren said nonchalantly, putting the two bottles of beer in his carriage.

Lin Yi shook his head with a smile, and then looked at the boys who were picking up the corpses of the golden robes over there.

After the initial nervousness, the boys quickly adapted and are now looting the golden-robed things one by one.

Chain mail, copper plates, ropes, knives, linings...... They didn't even let go of the socks.

The poor golden robe, who came to this world naked, is now leaving naked.

After putting down his beer, Yuren walked towards the long and short swords piled up on the hotel table.

Playing with the steel swords of these golden robes, Yu Lun casually picked up a short sword and shouted at the group of children who were only thirteen years old.

"Speed up, stinky boys! Only the fastest ones can have this. ”

Gendry and Arya were not among them, and the two of them volunteered to dig a pit outside the hotel for the six golden robes.

Seeing the short sword in Yulun's hand, Romi and Repai's eyes suddenly lit up, and they quickly sped up their movements.

They had coveted Arya's sword for a long time.

Arya already has a sewing needle, which Jon commissioned from the blacksmiths of Winterfell, and is important in terms of quality and meaning.

"Why are they arresting you?"

Arya asked as she shoveled dirt on the side of the road.

"How do I know?" Gendry replied with a sullen head, and then asked rhetorically, "Then why do you think they're going to arrest you?" ”

"......" Arya did not answer.

Gendry glanced up at her, then lowered his head and continued to work: "Is it because you killed someone, or because you are a girl?" ”

"I'm not a girl!"

"You think I'm as stupid as they are?" Gendry smiled.

“…… I'm not. ”

Arya forcibly excused herself, and then changed the subject - with power, Arya was less concerned about hiding her identity.

"I saw from the teacher the letter of grant brought by the golden robe, which says that you are an illegitimate child."

"Well, maybe."

Gendry said perfunctorily.

Arya frowned, "What's your name?" ”

"Gendry." He still said so.

"Smack-"

A large hand slapped on Gendry's head, and when the two of them looked up, they saw Yuren's bearded face.

"I don't know why they want to arrest you, and I don't care, but they don't succeed, I, Yolun, have been recruiting for the Night's Watch for thirty years, and I haven't experienced this humiliation...... If there is any gossip on the road, I will talk about it on the road, and now I will do a good job, and the sooner I finish it, the sooner I will get on the road. ”

With that, Yulun took out a steel sword from behind him and handed it to Gendry with the scabbard attached.

"I see you're tall and strong enough to use this, right?"

Gendry was slightly stunned, and then took it in surprise.

"Yes, yes...... I was an apprentice to the blacksmith Mott, and I often touched my sword in the blacksmith shop. ”

Arya is also happy for Gendry - since she knew that Gendry was the queen mother's person, the orphans of the Hot faction began to alienate Gendry, which made Arya very disliked.

Yoren turned around and ignored the two little ones.

Walking to Lin Yi's side, Yu Lun squatted down and checked the wheels.

"Aren't you going to see your little apprentice? Getting along with big men day and night is not a good thing for a noble lady. ”

"Arya is different." Lin Yi shook his head.

Yoren pursed his lips and stood up.

"Indeed, this little guy doesn't look like a young lady at all, like a leather monkey all day long."

Lin Yi smiled when he heard this, and Yu Lun also smiled.

"I don't know who the other kid is."

Looking at Arya and Gendry, Yulun suddenly spoke up.

"All I know is that before leaving, the blacksmith Mott came to the camp with this kid and gave me a bag of copper plates, and asked me to take this kid to the Great Wall, and stop for two more days by the way, and carry Lord Eddard."

Yu Lun seemed to be explaining to Lin Yi.

"It's just that I didn't expect that this kid is no less troublesome than Arya."

"I know who he is."

Lin Yi said with a smile.

“…… Well? ”

Yu Lun was slightly stunned.

Lin Yi looked at Gendry and said softly, "He is the illegitimate son of Robert Baratheon. ”

“…… Robert? Former kings? ”

Yuren was a little shocked.

"Now the former king."

Lin Yi kindly reminded.

"Well, former king."

You Lun glanced at Lin Yi, who had a calm face, speechlessly, and then calmed down his heart.

What about the bastard son of the king, who still has a king-killer standing beside him!

But it also explains why the Queen Mother wanted Gendry's life.

Tomman is only eight years old now, a little younger than Arya.

Cersei must clear all obstacles in her son's path to the throne.

"Why do you know?" Yulun asked suspiciously.

"I'm a wizard." Lin Yi smiled, "Do you remember what I said when I joined the team?" ”

"Trouble?" Yoren frowned, and he remembered.

"There's more trouble on your team than just Arya Stark." Lin Yi sighed pointedly.

"......" The corners of Yu Lun's mouth twitched, and then he sighed

"I really never expected that in my small team, there are two wanted nobles at the same time, the prime minister's daughter and the king's illegitimate son."

There is also a monarchicide.

Yuren added in his heart.

Lin Yi's face was strange when he heard this, but he still couldn't hold back a smile.

"If it weren't for the inside story, I would have thought the Night's Watch would have returned to its original glory days." He teased with a laugh.

"I've been recruiting for the Great Wall for almost 30 years." Yoren complained, "Only three people have died in thirty years. ”

Yuren held out three fingers.

"There's an old man who died of illness, a city imp who bites a snake while he poops, and a fool who wants to kill me while I'm sleeping......" Yuren spat to the side, "Of course I cut his neck......"

"It's the first time in thirty years that you've been in so much trouble." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Who's to say it's not." Yuren angrily unscrewed the flask and took a sip, "You're also a big problem. ”

"No trouble." Lin Yi gently stroked the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and said with a smile, "There is no trouble willing to find me, I will personally deal with them." ”

Yuren ignored the remark.

"At the time, I was just thinking about recruiting more people...... Alas, I would have known that I would have found a boat. It's safer to take a boat than it is now. ”

As he spoke, Yu Lun poured a sip of wine, then screwed the flask and said resolutely.

"Let's go tonight! I know of a relatively remote trail that should delay a lot of time. ”
