Chapter 31: The Captive

After a sleepless night, after dawn, Ma Shen had already planned the next steps, first of all, after he left, the base of Harrenhal should be protected, otherwise he would find that his Harrenhal had been canonized to others after returning from the other side of the Narrow Sea, so he would not be dumb and eat coptis.

However, even if you want to hold the base area, you can't go against the Tully family, you have to find a thick-skinned person of your own to drag them all the time, anyway, no one will have this time to deal with it during the war.

If you want to be cheeky, Scar Man is a good choice, the problem is that every time he is left alone, he always panics, and I don't know if he will directly auction Harrenhal at a high price after he leaves, or no longer give him a promise (Scar Man: My lord, where are the gold dragon coins you are talking about?).

Forget it, just believe him, if he really betrays him, then he will not let him go when he returns with the Legion of the Unsullied.

As for how to find an excuse to leave here, Ma Shen smiled mysteriously, lifted the tent, and the soldiers from the north were already moving outside.

For them, they don't know what it means to sleep lazy, most of them used to work hard to survive, especially in such a harsh environment in the north, oh, of course, they don't get up early in the morning for training, but are waiting for breakfast, it's better to be a soldier, don't exaggerate, it's okay to eat a little more.

"Good morning, my lord," said a young knight with two crossed tridents and an eagle's head painted on his chest coat of arms, opening the tent beside him, "Introduce myself, my name is Keller Conton, and I'm from Severn City. ”

"Good morning, Sir Keller," said Masan nodding politely, the knight should have lived in the tent next to him.

"Thank you so much for saving Lord Eddard from that hellish place in King's Landing. Keller Knight said with emotion, and then changed the topic, "I heard that today's breakfast is Sti mushroom soup, which is a specialty here, and it is extremely delicious, and you can't eat it anywhere else, why don't you go to breakfast together, my lord?"

"I'm afraid I'll have to go to Robb's first, and you can eat first, Sir. Ma Shen smiled and declined Keller's invitation.

"Okay. Keller Knight could only turn away in disappointment.

Looking at the back of Keller's departure, Ma Shen has long been mentally prepared for this, after his status is improved, many people will take the initiative to approach, even in the rough and wild place of the north, it is not exempt from vulgarity, as long as it is a person, there will be a relationship of interest, which is normal.

Smiling slightly, Ma Shen turned his head to discern the direction and walked towards Robb's tent.

At this moment, Ed is due to physical reasons, and everything belongs to Robb, so after Ma Shen opened the tent, he saw Robb sitting in his seat and looking at a piece of letter paper seriously.

"How was your rest last night, Lord Earl" Seeing Ma Shen come in, Robb naturally put the letter in his hand on the table, got up and greeted Ma Shen.

"I slept pretty well, I haven't had a good night's sleep for days. Ma Shen said and secretly glanced at the note on the table, although Robb's movements just now were very hidden, but Ma Shen knew about the information on this note Robb definitely didn't want others to know, "Good morning, Lord Robb, I came this time because I want to discuss something with you." “

"What made you come here so early? Robb politely pulled out the chair for Ma Shen.

"Thank you," Ma Shen thanked and sat down, "That's right, I'm going to leave for a while." ”

"Are you going to see your territory in the Ancestral Mounds?" Robb seemed to think of something, "Of course, it just so happens that my father is going back to Winterfell to recuperate, so you can go to the North together." “

"You're mistaken, Lord Robb," Ma Shen shook his head, "I'm planning to leave Westeros for a while and return to my hometown. “

"What's wrong?" asked Robb.

"You know, I'm from a country across the Narrow Sea called Huaxia, and although my country is relatively small and not known to most people, it has 2,000 brave warriors. Ma Shen said indifferently, "I heard that last night's meeting decided to continue fighting those Lannisters, so if I can, I want to bring them back here to help you." “

Ma Shen's approach was the same as Theon Greyjoy's, in which he persuaded his own father, Baron, the ruler of the Iron Islands, to ally himself with the North, and this worked well for Robb, who felt that his forces were overstretched.

"2,000 warriors?" Robb sighed in surprise, "It would be great if that was the case." “

"I'll be back soon. Ma Shen smiled and stood up and saluted.

"Thank you very much. Robb pondered, "Oh, by the way, Harrenhal heard that you are in charge?"

"Yes, entrusted by Mrs. Ha An. Ma Shen emphasized this statement that has been said countless times, Mrs. He'an has no news so far, I don't know if she is dead or alive, but anyway, Mrs. He'an must not live long, so now Harrenhal belongs to her own (Mrs. He'an, who was lying on the hospital bed and couldn't move, looked confused).

"That's good. Robb nodded, "We've decided that Harrenhal will attack the belly of the West through the Great Road or march directly into King's Landing, so we may need to stay in Harrenhal for a while. ”

"No problem, I'll have someone arrange it. For this kind of trivial matter, Ma Shen directly agreed.

Leaving Robb's tent, Ma Shen closed his eyes and took a deep breath of air, rubbed his Red Slaughter Sword, and gathered the Harrenhal soldiers to prepare to go.

"My lord, everyone is together. Oba bowed and said.

"Well, let's get ready to go. Ma Shen said.

"But my lord. Oba reminded, "We still have a captive. “

"I almost forgot!" Ma Shen patted his head, he had forgotten about the captive yesterday in his busy schedule, and the others had no one paying attention to the creep in their own team because of Ed's return.

Following Oba in the corner, Ma Shen saw the prisoner who was quietly waiting.

"It's not bad, a captive should look like a captive. Ma Shen said with interest, "I almost forgot about you, come with me to see Robb." “

"Hahaha" The captive laughed a few times, and forgot to do it directly, why did he remember it again, "For the sake of me not resisting, you will go around me, my lord." ”

"You're a smart guy. Ma Shen's smile gradually faded, "Then you should know that I will not forgive you for the crime of raping and killing women."

"I just... But I didn't kill them!"

"Sorry, I don't believe it. Ma Shen said that a whirlpool appeared in his pupils, and there was nothing to do next, and it was also a good way to concentrate on upgrading his skills.

"They tried to hang the women, but I refused, so I went to pee in the woods, and the women were killed by Gray. The black-haired captive argued diligently.

"If you say so pleadingly, then I believe you. Ma Shen nodded, since the truth skill was successful, then what he said was the truth.

What the hell, just now he had a look of disbelief on his face, how could he believe it all of a sudden, and the curly-haired captive felt that he had encountered a mental illness.

"But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, so you will be my sparring partner in the future. ”
