Chapter Twenty-Seven: Jon? Arryn's adopted sons

Not far away, from the side door of the hall came two young people who were chatting enthusiastically, their relationship seemed to be very good, looking at their bright smiles, as if they were talking about something interesting.

The person on the left has black hair and black beard, neatly trimmed, the whole person looks very clean, a pair of blue eyes, clear eyes, revealing fortitude and determination, looking radiant, at this time is smiling, patting the shoulder of the person next to him kindly, as if he is "like" for his speech just now.

A person on the right, with shoulder-length black and brown hair, a smooth chin, a long face, not handsome, but very manly, gray eyes reveal a persistence, not squinting, as if a picture of integrity and seriousness, which does not match his age at all, and looks unusually old. At this time, he also bowed his head and smiled, as if to cater to the praise of his friends.

The two of them look the same.

In the face of Jon Arryn's serious gaze, the expressions on the faces of the two suddenly froze, and one on the left put his hand down from the shoulder of the one on the right, and smiled at Jon Arryn in embarrassment, while the other on the right held his head high, like a soldier being reviewed.

Jon Arryn then withdrew his serious gaze and pointed at the black-haired and black-bearded man and said, "This is Robert of House Baratheon, Duke of Storm's End, and my adopted son. Han Xing could vaguely see that Robert's body tensed for a while with these words, and he only relaxed when the Duke of Eagle's Nest City's gaze moved away from him.

Then he pointed to the straight, long-haired man standing on his right, and said with a little pride: "This is the second son of Duke Ricard of Lindong City, Ed of the Stark family. The same is my adopted son. ”

Jon Arryn then turned to the two and said, "This is Roy, Lord Horsttuli of Riverrun, who was sent to be my adopted son. ”

The extroverted Robert stepped forward and touched Roy's head and said to Jon Arryn, "Don't worry, I will treat him like my own brother." As he spoke, he bumped his shoulder against Ed, who was beside him, and squeezed his eyebrows and said, "That's right! ”

Ed let him bump him, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "That's right, don't worry, Lord Arryn. ”

"This is Sir • from Riverrun, may I ask what is your name?" Jon Arryn was about to introduce Han Xing, but suddenly realized that he hadn't asked his name at all, and asked with an embarrassed face and a little apology.

"I am loyal to the Tully family, Sir Hanschel Segard. My lord! Han Xing knelt down on one knee and said.

"Oh, Segaard, I remember, no wonder I think your coat of arms is familiar, I know your grandfather, Sir Dain, a very nice man, quite chivalrous, but unfortunately he is not the eldest son in the family, how is he lately?" Jon Arryn suddenly realized.

"This ••••••" Han Xing was suddenly asked, where did he find out what happened to his "grandfather" Sir Dane.

"Ah, I'm sorry, kid, I'm getting old, my memory has deteriorated, and I accidentally poked your sad place, he died of lung disease 5 years ago. I should remember! Jon Arryn sighed heavily, apologetically, as if still murmuring about Sir Dain's death.

"Damn, when will we be able to have dinner!" Robert grunted as he stroked his rumbling belly. Ed glared at him quietly, and he immediately shut his mouth.

But his muttering pulled Jon Arryn out of his nostalgia for Han Yu's cheap "grandfather" Sir Dane Segard.

Realizing that he had lost some of his temper, Duke Arin immediately asked his subordinates to prepare dinner, and kindly led a few people to the restaurant for dinner.

Because of the relationship between the cheap "grandfather" Sir Dane, Han Xing was able to accompany the last seat.

Robert's eating appearance is completely inconsistent with the cultivation of a nobleman, it is quite ugly, not only all kinds of nonsense seafood, but also large pieces of meat directly grasped by hand. And it makes a lot of noise, and it pours wine violently. No wonder he got so fat later!

So Jon Arryn scolded him, saying that he didn't look like a duke at all, and that it was unseemly.

So he had no choice but to pick up the knife and fork, pretend to be a gentleman, cut off the meat with a knife piece by piece, and then stuffed it into his mouth, like Zhang Fei embroidering.

Looking at the dissatisfaction on his face, it was clear that the thin slice of meat was completely unable to satisfy his desire to feast, and he seemed to be muttering quietly, using words to resist Jon Arryn's "tyranny".

"Seven layers of hell, even have to eat, if I become a king one day, I will definitely let everyone in the seven kingdoms eat like me. That's what makes it enjoyable! With his extraordinary hearing, Han Xing still heard what he muttered, and when he thought that he would really become a king later, he immediately snickered.

Ed and Jon seem to eat in the same way, and it is clear that Ed has been heavily influenced by Jon Arryn. Han Xing fortunately has been a lord for a few days, and he knows the essentials of the nobles' dining methods, plus he has also eaten Western food in later generations, so he will not be ugly, but because of his snickering, he was accidentally choked by a mouthful of soup, but fortunately, he accompanied the last seat, and there was no one around.

On the contrary, it was Roy, unexpectedly, Roy's way of eating was like a cloud of peers, every movement seemed personable, full of aristocratic demeanor, stunned Robert and Ed and others, was greatly praised by Erin, and clearly instructed Robert to learn from him.

Robert didn't have a problem with that, although he didn't like to be bound by those rules, but out of the psychology of showing off and looking good, he was quite interested in Roy's pleasing but extremely efficient way of eating.

After dinner, Duke Arryn sent two servants to take Roy and Han Xing to their rooms.

Following the servant who led the way, Han Xing walked through Jon Arryn's garden called the "Sacred Wood Forest", which was actually only a few flowers and plants, and came to a tall tower on the west side.

Maybe it's because of Han Xing's basic favorability for the title of "Native Chief", or because of fear that Roy won't be able to adapt to the new environment, or maybe it's because of Han Xing's cheap "grandfather", or a combination of the three. In short, Duke Arin did not drive Han Xing away, but also assigned him a room so that he could stay with Roy.

Han Xing's room was on the third floor of this tower, and the servant led him to the door, opened the door and turned to leave.

Han Xing pushed the door into the room and said with emotion: "This is where I will live for at least half a year in the future!" ”

It is not as cramped as imagined, this room is about 40 square meters, and there are two windows, you can overlook the perfect scenery of the Arryn Valley when you open the window, because it is higher than the sea of clouds, there is no cloud block, the bright moon is extraordinarily bright, giving people a sense of freedom and refreshing. And because the clouds are located at the feet, it gives the illusion of being in heaven.

The whole room was semi-circular, the white stone walls were lit by a roaring fire, the floor was covered with the skins of unknown animals, and in front of the fire there was a square table large enough to seat four people, and there were some fruits and a few sets of utensils on the table.

Maybe it's because of the height, as if to verify the phrase "the high place is not cold", the night in Ailin Valley is extremely cold, with this raging fire, Han Xing felt a little better, his clothes are really thin.

After warming up by the fire for a while, Han Xing came to his bedroom, which was not so much a bedroom as a partition separated from the hall by a half-wall.

Thanks to the half-wall, the heat of the fireplace was transmitted to Han Xing's bedroom, driving away the slightest chill for Han Xing, and the half-wall could also shield Han Xing from the fireplace fireplace, and Han Xing slept soundly on a bed covered with animal skins and linen wrapped in a woolen blanket.

The next day, Roy officially accepted the teachings of Duke Arryn, but the well-informed Duke Arryn could not keep an eye on them all the time. Therefore, Robert and Ed took on the responsibility of instructing and leading Roy in swordsmanship, archery, and fighting. And Han Xing was also able to watch from the sidelines as Roy's personal bodyguard.

"Seven layers of hell, this kid's archery skills are too good!" Robert watched in surprise as Roy held his bow and arrow, and once again accurately hit the bullseye at 50 meters, and the bullseye seemed to have been shot densely, as if a forest had grown.

Even Ed deeply admired Roy's archery skills, patted Roy on the shoulder and said, "It's really not easy to have such archery skills at your age. ”

"It's really not easy? As if you shoot better than him, he's better than you and me. Robert grinned, and even Ed couldn't help but blush in the face of his friend's demolition.

"Hey, Roy Kid, how old are you? Your name is Roy, right? Robert said with a grin, adding as if with some uncertainty.

"I'm Roy of House Tully, and I'm 17 years old." Roy said with a serious face.

"Well, young master Roy Tully, I'm Robert of House Baratheon, Duke of Stormlands, and as you can see, I'm nineteen years old, two years older than you, so please salute my brother and duke!" Robert first pretended to be serious, as if he was reciting the opening words before the duel, but suddenly the words changed, revealing his true nature, it turned out that he wanted to fix Roy, a serious boy.

As he spoke, he bumped Ed beside him with his shoulder, squeezing his eyes at him, but seeing that Ed still had a "cold face" that had not changed for thousands of years, and seeing that he couldn't get his sense of humor, he had to mumble stupidly: "Jon Arryn II." ”

Unexpectedly, Roy really made a proper courtesy and said, "I, Roy Tully, meet Brother Robert Baratheon, Duke of Stormrest. He stuck out his tongue as he spoke.

Robert immediately rubbed his head and laughed: "I didn't expect you to be much more interesting than my brother, damn it, why don't I have a brother like you." Han Xing knew that most of what he said was a stiff, cold, and unpleasant Stannis like "pig iron".

"Alright, little Roy, you can call me Brother Robert from now on." Saying that, Robert pulled Ed Stark next to him and said, "This guy is the second son of Duke Rickard Stark of Winterfell, named Eddard, one year younger than me, eighteen this year, don't look at his 'cold' look, in fact, he's just shy, right, Ned?" Suddenly pulled into the topic by Robert, Ed couldn't help but be caught off guard.

"Well, little Roy, do you want to go to a nice place with Brother Robert next time! You like it guaranteed! Robert put his arm around Roy's shoulder and smiled wickedly. It's like a big bad wolf kidnapping a white rabbit.

Seeing that Robert wanted to take Roy to some kind of self-evident place and learn from him, Ed stepped forward and pulled Roy from Robert's side, glared at Robert fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "He's still a kid!" ”

"Damn, you incomprehensible and old-fashioned guy, you yourself are a hundred unwilling to go with me, and you are not allowed to take others with you? Really, kids? Come on, he's 17, and I'm two years old at his age. It's not like you haven't seen it! Robert was furious that Ed had disturbed his playmates.

However, Ed turned into an eagle and protected Roy behind him, playing eagle and chick with him, and resolutely refused to let him, the bad guy, take Roy to the Fengyue Place, Robert had to sigh stupidly.

Suddenly, when he saw Han Xing not far away, his eyes lit up, with a smile on his face, obviously planning to develop Han Xing as his playmate instead.

"Sir Hanschel Seyder?" Apparently he didn't pay attention to Jon Arryn's introduction.

"I am Sir Enschel Segard, allegiance to the Tully. Lord Robert! Han Xing had no choice but to repeat it again.

"Ah, yes, yes, Sir Segard, the Duke of Arryn has mentioned. Look at my memory! As he spoke, he pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and patted his head.

"What do you think of Eagle's Nest? Do you feel like something is missing? Do you want to go to a nice place with me, you are guaranteed to be happy! ”

Han Xing Khan! If I hadn't known that this guy liked to fight and kill women and pour red wine, and later had illegitimate children all over the world, I might have thought he had some special habits!

Although Han Xing is also loyal to love, he and his wife have not seen each other for nearly three months, thinking about staying in this world for 5 years, plus getting close to Robert was originally one of his tasks, Han Xing finally let go, and replied to Robert with a "I understand!" Smile.

Seeing Han Xing on the road like this, knowing that he had met a fellow practitioner, Robert suddenly smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "We will meet at the gate tomorrow morning." As he spoke, he touched Han Xing's shoulders with his eyebrows, and walked towards Ed, who was teaching Roy to use a sword.
