Chapter Seventy-Five: Snatching Someone's Head
The frenzied atmosphere was brewing, making the man who wanted to escape feel a little uneasy.
A chaser has 5 gold dragon coins for the first time, Ma Shen's voice echoed in everyone's ears, what does the 5 gold dragon coins represent, everyone knows what he means, otherwise they would not accept Ma Shen's employment for 3 gold dragon coins.
Swallowing his parched throat, the scar man shouted, "Fuck, fuck it!"
"Fuck it!" "Fuck it!" "Fuck it!" shouted the mercenaries who were there, all picking up their weapons in their hands.
Fucking it's really an international common word, although the language is different, the meaning is still the same, Ma Shen sat on the horse and looked down at these excited subordinates, it looked very imposing, but there was no discipline, a sense of honor, just fighting for money, generally can only fight a tailwind battle, once you encounter a hard battle, your side will definitely be defeated first.
But what does it matter, they are consumables in their own eyes, as long as they can withstand a few waves of pursuers sent by Cersei, and let the Stark family members reach a safe and convenient place.
What to do about this discordant place, Ma Shen turned his head to look at the mercenary who was trembling under the frenzied crowd, and wondered in his heart what to do with this guy, whether he should kill someone and see blood when he went out according to tradition.
After thinking about it carefully, Ma Shen still gave up this idea and let him be a coolie, there are nearly 400 people here, there are always some miscellaneous things to bring, and it is easy to have a coolie.
So a small team of less than 50 people swelled into a team of nearly 400 people, with everyone, Ma Shen walked all the way north, where it was remote, where there were few people, where it was small, whether it was to enter the riverland where the Tully family is located or the Arryn Valley, which is ruled by the Arryn family, it can almost be said to be safe, because it is no longer a territory that the Lannisters can contaminate, in addition to this, they have a close relationship with the Stark family in the north, for example, the current ruler of Arryn Valley is Lady Catherine's sister, not to mention the Tully family, which is Lady Catherine's maiden family。
"Let's all take a break. Feeling that the time was almost up, Ma Shen commanded to the side.
Because it took too long, some tired people breathed a sigh of relief and found a place to rest.
Whew, Ma Shen turned over and dismounted, picked up the kettle hanging on the black rabbit and poured a mouthful of water, and then called a mercenary who claimed to be a local: "Where are we now?"
"My lord, there is the Lake of God's Eye ahead, and then you will reach Harrenhal, that is, you will reach the Riverlands. There was a faint sense of loss in the mercenary's tone, didn't he say that he was going to resist the Lannister pursuers sent by Queen Cersei, why didn't he even have a fart.
I don't know how I didn't even have a fart, but it should be a good thing, Cersei must have sent a lot of pursuers, there's no doubt about it, the two young ladies of House Stark are on their team.
But apparently the idea of leaving the main road and taking the small path caught Cersei's pursuers off guard, and they didn't know that they knew they were coming.
In addition, although there are few people on the path, you can still meet a few occasionally, so along the way, I also kidnapped all the passers-by, and let them go when it is safe to do so, and did not follow the scar man's advice, kill everyone who saw the whereabouts of the team, can you not kill people or try not to kill, you are not a magic mountain.
"You go and rest. "Since there is no Cersei's pursuers, it means that after these more than 300 mercenaries complete the task, each of them will have to pay the balance of 20 gold dragon coins, which is really desperate, Ma Shen is even more lost, so much money is gone.
Anyway, happy and desperate, after driving the mercenary away, Ma Shen slowly walked to the side of one of the carriages in the team, there were two carriages in the team, one for Sister Mordan and the two Miss Stark, and the other for other women, such as maids, this may be the advantage of women.
"Bang bang" Ma Shen patted the carriage lightly, "You hold on a little longer, there is a river in front of you, and it will be safe to get there." “
Hearing Ma Shen's voice, the small door on the carriage slammed open, revealing Arya's face: "Teacher, I want to save my father." ”
The news that Ed was captured alive by Cersei and convicted of being a traitor has spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms, and the passers-by who were held hostage by Ma Shen have already told the whole team the news, and Ma Shen can't help it.
"You will harm Lord Eddard when you go back, and at present, Cersei has Lord Eddard as a hostage, and she will definitely not dare to hurt Lord Ed at will, but will be entertained with delicious food and drink. Ma Shen was reluctant to tell his students the cruel truth, if Joffrey, who had just ascended the throne, was a king with a slight IQ, he would indeed worship Ed well, but unfortunately he was on the same level as the Mad King.
"What then?" Ellie was a little disappointed, worried about her father's comfort.
"That's why I'm going to get you to safety as soon as possible, so I can save Lord Eddard. ”
"Sir, I want to go back to King's Landing, Joffrey must love me, and if I beg him, he will surely let my father go. Sansa pulled Arya away from the carriage and pleaded with tears in her eyes.
Forehead.. Ma Shen didn't know what to say anymore, how could he not meet such a simple girl before, where did Sansa see that Joffrey loved him, Ma Shen was about to reply, but he felt a slight vibration in the carriage, it was a horse, and it was not one or two.
"All the people have entered the forest, ready to meet the enemy!!" Ma Shen immediately roared, and the mercenaries who were originally resting on the ground quickly picked up their weapons and ran into the woods, I really don't know whether to say that they are well-trained or cowardly.
"Arya, Sansa, get out of the car!" Ma Shen picked everyone in the car down one by one, and led everyone to run towards the forest as fast as possible, and in such a short time, the Lannister's pursuers were already in front of him.
The path in the woods is much narrower than that of the King's Road, and the nearly 400 of them are stretched on this path for a long time, and they cannot give full play to the advantage of numbers, but they have another advantage, that is, they can run into the woods at any time and place, and the pursuers cannot always rush into the woods on horseback.
Well, Ma Shen still miscalculated, and many cavalry rushed into the forest directly after Ma Shen's ass, perhaps looking down on his own rabble.
However, thank you for sending me so many horses, Ma Shen yelled at his subordinates who followed him towards the forest: "What a fart, they all rode into the woods, don't forget the 5 gold dragon coins for the head of a person." After shouting, Ma Shen left the stunned Arya and Sansa to stop and charge towards the pursuing cavalry.
That's right, there are 5 gold dragon coins for a person's head, and the people who ran were stunned, and then quickly turned around: "Grab people's heads!!"
