"Brother Ma Shen, do you know where Prime Minister Ed lives?" Xiao Nasha looked up at Ma Shen who was pulling her head around and leaving.

"Of course ... I don't know.. Ma Shen pretended to be calm and said, "But the place where the prime minister lives must be the Prime Minister's Tower in the Red Fort, so it's useless to ask now, and I'll ask someone else when it's almost there." “

Seeing that Xiao Nasha wanted to ask again, Ma Shen raised his finger and gave Xiao Nasha a chestnut, "How is it the same as 100,000 whys, how did I tell you on the road." Ma Shen said and leaned close to little Nasha's ear, threatening, "Don't be too curious, because knowing too many people will not end well,"

"Giggles" may have been blown to the ears by the air flow when Ma Shen spoke, and little Nasha couldn't help laughing.

Ahem, after seeing that he didn't scare Xiao Nasha, but amused her, Ma Shen felt a little helpless, "Let's go, otherwise it's too late to eat, how do I feel as if I've been eating, and I'm going to have lunch again after breakfast." “

While complaining, Ma Shen took little Nasha all the way towards the Red Fort, and as he got closer and closer to the Red Fort, Ma Shen also recalled the information about the Red Keep in his mind.

Built of light red stone, the Red Fort has seven massive iron-topped drum towers, and a thick wall surrounds the castle with countless bunkers and moats for archers to shoot. Thick stone balustrades, some four feet high, protected the edges of the walls, and the heads of traitors were usually stuck in iron spears in the battlements of the walls between the gatehouses. The walls have large bronze gates and iron sluices, as well as some narrow side doors, and a cobblestone plaza in front of the huge outer fort.

This must be the entrance to the Red Keep, Ma Shen thought as he stood in the cobblestone square and looked at the gate in front of him, and was about to continue his way into the Red Keep.

"Stop, this is a royal castle, and idlers are forbidden to enter. Four soldiers in fine armor guarding the gate shouted at Ma Shen with their spears in their hands.

The steel spear shimmered sharply in the sunlight, and little Nasha hid behind Ma Shen a little timidly.

"I am a knight canonized by His Majesty in Winterfell, and I have an old relationship with Prime Minister Eddard, so I came to visit Prime Minister Eddard. Ma Shen explained.

"What's the proof?" asked a soldier at the front with a helmet on his head and a face he couldn't see clearly.

Ma Shen frowned and thought about it, what kind of credentials did he have on him that could prove his identity, by the way, didn't he get the certificate of participation just now, and there was his name on it, so maybe he could prove his identity.

Ma Shen fumbled around his body, pulled out the proof of participation in the tournament from his pocket, and shook it in front of the guard's eyes.

"Excuse me, Sir. After seeing the proof of participation in the first martial arts competition in Ma Shen's hand, the soldiers neatly withdrew the spears in their hands.

A slight surprise flashed in Ma Shen's eyes, such a neat movement, and even in the bright sun, he was still wearing sealed full-body armor, standing motionless and straight, elite people, Ma Shen judged in his heart, he originally saw the exquisite armor on their bodies, he thought it was just a showcase, and it seemed that he had lost his eyes.

In fact, being able to guard the door of a royal castle is not an easy task in itself, and it is not something that anyone can do.

Took Xiao Nasha through these silent guards, so what should the Prime Minister Tower do next, Ma Shen thought in his heart, just now I wanted to ask those guards, but I felt that it was not good to disturb them, in case it was like the People's Liberation Army in Ma Shen's world, when standing guard, you can't move or wipe your sweat, there are discipline restrictions, there is iron discipline in the army, and if you violate it, you will be criticized.

Fortunately, there were many people in the Red Fort, and Ma Shen casually asked the nuns who passed by and found the Prime Minister's Tower where the Hand of the King lived, of course, it was the Prime Minister's Tower, but it was actually not a tall tower, but a courtyard with a large area.

The Prime Minister's Tower, which served as the King's Hand of the King's bedchamber, was a long, narrow room with a high vaulted roof and benches large enough to seat 200 people. Its private meeting rooms are no larger than the King's, but they have Mill carpets, tapestries, and gold-framed round windows, giving it an intimate feel. In addition to this, the Prime Minister's Tower has an attic, private rooms and high windows.

At this time, the door of the Prime Minister's Tower opened, and at a glance, it was clear that two guards from Winterfell were standing in front of the door, not wearing metal armor like the soldiers of King's Landing, but only wearing a gray cloth armor, a small round shield in his left hand, and a spear in his right hand.

The two guards also noticed Ma Shen who was leading little Nasha as he walked, "This seems to be Sir Ma Shen." One of the guards immediately recognized Ma Shen's identity, Ma Shen was very popular in Winterfell, although he was a knight, he was still very polite to his subordinates, and even if he didn't know Ma Shen, he could recognize Ma Shen's unique appearance as soon as he saw it.

"Hello. Ma Shen smiled and greeted the guards.

"Sir, are you here for a jousting tournament? The guard asked enthusiastically.

"That's right, I'm going to draw lots in the afternoon, so I'm going to pay a visit to Lord Eddard by the way. Ma Shen nodded and replied.

"Lord Eddard hasn't gone out today, the innermost room on the second floor is Lord Eddard's office, you can go there to find Lord Eddard. The guard said, pointing to the gate of a building.

"Okay. Ma Shen was about to enter the door, but suddenly heard the guard next to him tauntingly say: "But don't tell Lord Ed that you are here to participate in the first martial arts competition, you better tell Lord Ed that you are here to participate in the king's martial arts competition." “

"I'm going to take that to heart. Ma Shen also knew the reason, and pretended to be cautious and replied.

was joking, but saw that the guard's expression suddenly became serious, and he greeted behind him seriously: "Lord Eddard." ”

Ma Shen turned his head to see Prime Minister Ed walking briskly out of the room.

"Long time no see, Lord Eddard. Ma Shen hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Long time no see, Sir Massin, you've grown stronger in the last few months. Ed was also a little surprised to suddenly see Ma Shen, who he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Where are you going?" asked Ma Shen.

"There were 3 dead people in an inn called Safi, and I heard eyewitnesses say that the murderer might have been a knight, so I'm going to check on the situation now. Ed said with a solemn expression.

"What an eventful time. Ma Shen sighed.

"Yes, sir, when there are more people, things will increase. Ed sighed, and then seemed to remember something, "You must have come to the jousting tournament, Sir, I don't know if there is any good armor, if not, I'll have you get a better armor later." ”

"No, Lord Eddard, for some other reasons, I'll take care of the armor later. Ma Shen hurriedly refused, his armor should be solved by himself.

Ed didn't insist, either: "In that case, I'll introduce you to the best weapons shop in King's Landing, where you might have the right armor, and you can live here, sir, we have a lot of rooms here, and we don't have to go to the inn to give money to those bosses." ”

"Thank you very much. "This time Ma Shen did not refuse, because this is the purpose of coming here.

"Feel free to do so, I'll miss the meeting first, Sir. Ed nodded, didn't bother to chat with Ma Shen, and after riding the horse brought by the guards, he hurried outside with a few guards.
