Chapter 33: Conspiracy
"I'm like you, I'm just thinking of mice, rice. ”
"It's good to sing. Ma Shen clapped his hands and praised Xiao Nasha, and didn't care that the pronunciation was not standard, time gradually diluted the sadness, maybe because the murderer was dead, and Xiao Nasha gradually came out of the sadness, maybe this is what Uncle Carl wanted.
Music knows no borders, since Ma Shen sang and was heard by Xiao Nasha, Xiao Nasha fell in love with this strange melody directly, although she didn't understand what it meant, but she thought it was very good.
At that time, when he saw Xiao Nasha who was listening blankly, Ma Shen suddenly had an idea in his heart, teach her to sing, and then sing to herself when she was fine, and experience the feeling of hometown.
Am I a model of singing from a young age, listening to Xiao Nasha's clumsy but very crisp voice, not to mention, although the pronunciation is not standard, but inexplicably there is a unique feeling, Ma Shen thought a little beautifully.
While listening to Xiao Nasha's singing, Ma Shen's thoughts began to radiate.
I seem to spend half of my time in a hurry, Ma Shen silently calculated the time in his heart, and sighed with some surprise.
It seems that I was born to work hard, but fortunately, the Great Wall and Winterfell have been there, and I have lived strong until now, so what's wrong with not being able to participate in the Seven Kingdoms Knights Tournament. Ma Shen could only comfort himself like this in his heart.
Since a month ago, after Ma Shen spent a day burying the dozens of villagers, he took Will's ashes and dragged away the emaciated little Nasha who refused to leave.
Then he took little Nasha and Dori, who still hadn't woken up, to Winterfell, and informed Robb Stark, who was tentatively identified as the lord of Winterfell, that the village had been attacked by a group of robbers, and only little Nasha and Dori escaped, and Dori didn't wake up after being knocked unconscious, but fortunately he had just returned from the Great Wall, so he was lucky to repel the robbers and save the two girls.
When Robb heard this, he was furious, and as soon as his father left the north, some robbers dared to slaughter the villages under his rule, and he was really impatient, and immediately summoned Sir Rodric and asked him to gather 50 cavalry with him to investigate the clues.
Ma Shen didn't stop him, if he wasn't too careless, they would definitely be able to find clues in the village, such as the coat of arms of the Overton family that Ma Shen deliberately left, and he also deliberately burned a small half of it, but it could make people guess his whole picture and enhance the authenticity, as for where the eldest son of the Overton family ran away, there is no doubt that he felt that the matter had been discovered, and he fled in fear of crime, and everyone knew it.
At that time, I'm afraid that even the Overton family itself is a little puzzled, although they will solemnly refuse on the surface, saying that someone is framing them, but they are also muttering in their hearts, is it really the stupid and cowardly, but also lustful young master Huahua did it.
Ma Shen, who stayed in Winterfell, was not idle, and brought in Master Luwen and asked him to check Dori's body, but he didn't find any problems, except for the back of his head that was a little swollen, which was very in line with Xiao Nasha's statement, that day because Dori was constantly struggling on the horse, the mercenary with Dori was a little impatient, and directly hit Dori on the back of the head, so although the body was not harmed, when to wake up may be something decided by the seven gods, and Ma Shen could only silently bless in his heart.
After staying for about two days, when Robb Stark returned exhausted, he brought back only half of the Orverton family coat of arms, and immediately prepared to summon the Marquis of Overton to Winterfell and question him what was going on.
But Ma Shen did not have the time to wait for the Marquis of Overton's explanation, and if he delayed a little longer, he was afraid that the jousting meeting in King's Landing would have to say goodbye to him.
And those two little girls can let Robb take care of it for the time being, Winterfell is still very safe at present, as long as you take them away before Theon and the Iron People sneak attack Winterfell, Robb also enthusiastically agreed, after all, Robb also knew in his heart that if he only relied on the half-burned emblem, as long as the Marquis of Overton firmly denied it, it would not be enough to convict the Overton family, so he felt a little guilty.
I felt that the matter was almost solved, so Ma Shen patiently sorted out the clothes, and folded the clothes neatly one by one, as for where this clothing came from, of course it was bought, and more than 40 golden dragons were looted from the noble young master alone, and he was not too panicked.
Later, when he was in a hurry, Ma Shen didn't plan to wear a piece of clothing a month, there was no condition before, after having money, of course, he had to be kind to himself, not to mention changing it every day, but at least changing it every week.
Then I bought a horse to carry things, and the black rabbit could carry me, Ma Shenzheng thought happily, suddenly his clothes tightened, and he lowered his head to find that it was a short little Nasha, and he was barefoot, so he couldn't help but smile and put down the clothes in his hand: "What's the matter? Little Nasha, I didn't wear shoes." ”
"I'm going with you. After Xiao Nasha said this, she stopped talking, but looked up at Ma Shen with tears in her eyes.
"I promise I'll be back to pick you up right away. Ma Shen swore solemnly.
The little girl still looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"This is a knight's oath. Ma Shen emphasized that little Nasha should admire herself, so she will definitely listen to me.
The little girl still looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"There are a lot of dangers with me, and I'm often on the road, it's very hard, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing here. ”
The little girl was in tears.
Ma Shen touched his nose helplessly, how could he hurry with the little girl.
"Do you know how to ride a horse?"
The little girl shook her head
"So you can't go on the road with me. Ma Shen changed his approach and tried to convince her with reason.
Of course, the result was that the little girl didn't pay attention to him at all, Ma Shen looked at the tearful little girl speechlessly, and couldn't bear to pull her hand away.
Then the two of them looked at each other in silence for a long time, and even the maid who passed by looked at these two strange people with some curiosity through the door.
In the end, Ma Shen couldn't hold on, so he could only make one last effort in despair, and threatened: "Okay, you can go with me, but you have to be mentally prepared, the road is very hard, maybe after a long time with me, you will immediately become a middle-aged woman, just like Aunt Mary in your village." ”
When Xiao Nasha heard this, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, but she still firmly pulled the corner of Ma Shen's clothes, maybe in her mind, Ma Shen was her last relative.
"Okay. Ma Shen sighed, and could only choose to take little Nasha on the road.
Of course, because of the reason for taking little Nasha, Ma Shen didn't think about speed, and in order to take care of little Nasha's body, he had to stop and rest from time to time.
I don't know if it's too late, Ma Shen looks in the direction of King's Landing.
In King's Landing, a garden near the east side of King's Landing, where Ma Shen had been talking all the time, Ed and Baerich were talking as they walked.
Berry, nicknamed Littlefinger, looked particularly enthusiastic, but Prime Minister Ed had a serious expression, his hair was scattered, and his appearance had aged a lot in just over 1 month, and it seemed that it was not easy to be prime minister, of course, if people who were familiar with him saw it, they would know that although he was now serious, he was not averse to communicating with Littlefinger.
I saw Littlefinger holding a book in his hand, and said to Ed meaningfully, "I heard that you are reading a long and boring book?"
"Pischel talks too much. Ed paused, and said with a frown.
"He never stopped. Little Thumb nodded in agreement.
After hesitating for a moment, Littlefinger guessed that Ed should have discovered that Joffrey was not the biological son of His Majesty Robert, even if he didn't have it for the time being, then he would help him, only the chaotic Seven Kingdoms would be the most beneficial to him, because everything would change at that time, you must know that King Robert was not a king many years ago, so he hinted intentionally: "You know Sir Schof of Arrynval, a few days ago, he was still an acolyte, and the former Prime Minister Jon Jon was still a squire. Arryn's squire, and immediately after the untimely death of his master, he was made a knight. ”
"Why was it sealed, and why did you tell me this?" Ed wasn't stupid either, knowing that no one would tell him these secrets for no reason.
"Because I am the adopted son of Duke Horst Tully of Riverrun, the father of your wife, who adopted me. Little Finger stopped and said with a serious expression.
Ed was a little noncommittal and continued to ask, "Where is Sir Xiu, I'll talk to him." “
"Extremely stupid trick, can you see the two children under the tree, the little bird of Varys, the "Octopus Spider" is very concerned about your every move. Littlefinger directly dismissed Ed's idea, and said that Littlefinger pointed to several gardeners who were repairing the flower beds: "Look over there." “
Seeing Ed look at the gardeners, Littlefinger smiled mysteriously, "Guess who they are?" “
Before Ed could feel that there were so many eyes and ears around him, he found that Little Finger pointed at the nun who was reading on the bench and said, "See the nun who pretended to be reading?"
"Is this the Queen's servant too?" Ed asked subconsciously.
"No, it's mine. Littlefinger said with a little ostentation, anything, only by showing a little strength, can others convince themselves, Littlefinger himself knows this, since he has shown his intelligence power, then you can continue the next topic: "Do you have subordinates who can be fully trusted?"
"Yes. Ed thought for a moment and replied.
"My lord, the wiser answer is no," Littlefinger rejected, "inform your loyal men and tell him to go to Sir Xiu and be careful, and then you will send him to visit one of the city's weapons masters, who lives in the compound at the top of Steel Street, and perhaps you will gain something." “
Ed was a little dazed by Littlefinger's series of actions to show his strength, and was completely taken into rhythm, and asked again, "Why?"
One of the manifestations of weak political thinking is to be rhythmized when talking to others when it shouldn't be, and Ed fully meets this condition, because Ed has completely believed in Littlefinger's intelligence ability, so when he finds out that Littlefinger knows a lot of things, he will no longer suspect anything.
"As I said, I have my own eyeliner, and I have been seen visiting the weaponsmith several times in the weeks leading up to Lord Arryn's death. Littlefinger said with a spring breeze smile on his face.
"Lord Barichy, it may be my fault for not trusting you. Ed sincerely apologized to Little Thumb.
"Distrusting me is the wisest decision you've ever made. Little Thumb deliberately said in a way that advanced and retreated, can I tell you that I am just taking you to think in the direction you hope and what I hope to do.
Prime Minister Ed, who is in the north, does not care about power schemes, and has not been educated as a duke heir since he was a child, has completely believed the words of Little Thumb, maybe Ma Shen will blurt out when he sees it, this is called being sold and helping to count the money.
