Chapter 67: Solicitation
After the squire Luo left with Salas, Ma Shen looked at the sky and prepared to go out to meet Jace, the owner of the blacksmith shop again, but he didn't expect that not long after he went out, he saw Queen Cersei walking across from him with graceful steps, and there were no guards or servants behind him.
Since he saw that he couldn't help but take care of him, Ma Shen stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty the Queen"
"Long time no see, Sir," Queen Cersei replied with a smile, and stopped in front of Ma Shen.
It didn't look like he was passing by, but he came to look for me, and Ma Shen's eyes narrowed: "Yes, the last time we met was when we were in Winterfell." ”
"At that time, I didn't know that Sir could actually win the first place in the first martial arts competition. Cersei smiled and said to Masten.
"I didn't expect that either. Ma Shen said perfunctorily.
"Hahaha, I don't know Sir if you're willing to be loyal to our Lannisters?" After a few casual conversations, Queen Cersei got straight to the point and directly greeted Ma Shen.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but I don't owe allegiance to any family. Ma Shen refused without hesitation, if it was someone else who recruited him, he might still be humiliated, but it was clear that the Lannisters were not among them.
Ed has been looking for the cause of the former prime minister's death, and then it is obvious that he will find out the secret that Prince Joffrey is not King Robert's biological son, which will lead to Stark and Lannister's death, so Ma Shen has to make it clear that he is on the side of the Stark family.
"You don't live long without allegiance to any family. Seeing that Ma Shen refused without thinking about it, Queen Cersei was not interested in pretending any longer, and bared her fangs.
"Then you have to ask the contemptible sword first. Ma Shen replied without paying any attention.
"It seems that winning the so-called jousting tournament has greatly increased your self-confidence, sir" Since Ma Shen has rejected his own wooing, it means that he is not his own person, and Queen Cersei didn't say anything more, turned around and planned to leave.
"Your Majesty, may you say a word to me?" said Ma Shen suddenly to Queen Cersei's back.
"What?" asked Queen Cersei, pausing and turning her head.
"Beauty is not all lovely, some are only pleasing to the eye but not intoxicating, the beauty of a regular woman is like a flame in the distance, and it is like a sharp sword; if you don't get close, the fire can't burn the body, and the sword won't hurt people, chastity and dignity are the beauty of the heart, without this beauty, no matter how beautiful the flesh is, it is not beautiful. Ma Shen suddenly said something very poetic.
"I don't quite understand what you're saying, Sir," Cersei said with a stiff face, ignoring Ma Shen and about to continue leaving, but her steps suddenly paused, and Cersei turned her head to Ma Shen as if admonishing, "Be careful, danger is everywhere, Sir"
"I will take it to heart, Your Majesty" Ma Shen is not afraid of the threat of Queen Cersei, is he still less threatened, but then again, it is really cool to pretend to be an intellectual, and this passage was written down when I read some famous book in college.
With a sigh of emotion, Ma Shen looked at the back of Queen Cersei leaving, and suddenly seemed to understand something, the magic mountain is a person loyal to the Lannister family, that is, a person who belongs to the Lannister camp.
It is clear that someone is trying to stir up a conflict between himself and the Lannisters, whether it is the blacksmith owner Jace's belief that he can deal with the Magic Mountain, or his own battle with the Magic Mountain during the draw in the first place.
In fact, I should have thought about why there was such a long lottery line, but the magic mountain only came in when it was my turn, is there such a coincidence, I am afraid that even if I am not defeated by the magic mountain at that time, someone will come out to stop it, as for what the conspirators behind it are for, if I guess correctly, it is to let myself say what Winterfell saw for himself.
It's really far-sighted, but what about the reason why his black rabbit was stolen, it seems that he still has to "ask" the old fox of Varys.
Of course, no matter what, Ma Shen has already identified the mastermind behind it, and it must be one of Littlefinger and Varys, because according to the plot, the two of them are capable and cautious, and they are the only two of them who take great pains to provoke conflicts between the Stark family and the Lannister family, and both of them are trying to guide Ed to know the truth that Joffrey is not King Robert's biological son.
In short, there is certainly no problem in finding the stubble of these two conspirators.
"Teacher, I finally found you. Just thinking about it, Arya ran over with a shout, and then said to Ma Shen crisply, "It's a sword class later, and my father recently helped me invite Teacher Cyrio to meet you." ”
"Okay, let's go" Ma Shen smiled and gave Arya a chestnut, and at a glance he knew that this little girl was plotting against her.
Inside the delicate Red Keep, Queen Cersei walked briskly, looking trying to maintain an elegant posture, but in fact anyone could see the uneasiness in her heart.
After walking briskly for a while, Cersei finally found what she was looking for, "Jaime, what are you still doing here?"
"What else can you do, watch the door for His Majesty the Great King. Jaime sat down on the steps, wiping the sword from his hand, and laughed to himself.
"You know, that damn wolf slayer won the first martial arts tournament. Cersei said hurriedly.
"I've heard about it for a long time, and I've also heard that when this wolf slayer won the championship, the magic mountain that was defeated by him in the final wanted to sneak attack him, but he was killed by this wolf slayer instead. Jaime said in a light tone, saying that he didn't care about this at all.
"And what are you doing here?" Cersei grumbled in a bad mood.
"Kill him to avenge the Magic Mountain?" Jaime didn't lift his head, and continued to bow his head and wipe the sword in his hand.
"Huh" Queen Cersei turned her head and let out an angry sound from her mouth, then turned to Jaime with a serious expression and said, "Don't play dumb with me, you know, what he saw in Winterfell!"
Hearing Cersei's impatient tone, Jaime finally stopped what he was doing, looked up and said to Cersei, "Did he see something, did he see me and you dressed in disarray? ”
"The wise man can also be hurt by rumors, he was a trivial knight before, but now he has made a name for himself in the Seven Kingdoms through this damn premier martial arts competition! Cersei said in a hurried tone.
"Your Excellency!" a servant shouted and ran over, "I've just heard from the ravens who flew over to Castle Rock about your brother, Lord Tyrion. ”
Hearing this, Jaime frowned and asked, "What's the news?"
"Tyrion was kidnapped from Winterfell to King's Landing by Prime Minister Eddard's wife, Lady Stark. The servant said cautiously.
"What! Where's that Eddard guy?" Jaime stood up at once, clearly caring about his brother.
"I don't know," the servant shook his head.
"Have Eddard follow him, and when he leaves the Red Keep, inform me that I will bring all the Lannister guards in King's Landing and settle accounts with Eddard. Jaime hatefully commanded that although his brother was a dwarf, he was also his own brother.
"Didn't you hear me clearly? Cersei next to her grabbed Jaime's hand and emphasized what she had just said.
"My brother was kidnapped by Stark, and now that's the most important thing for me. Jaime shook Cersei's hand away and left without looking back.
"Damn!!" Cersei screamed, slamming the jade bracelet on her hand to the ground, and the jade bracelet worth a hundred gold dragon coins suddenly fell apart.
