"Your Excellency is Sir Ma Shen, known as the Wolf Slayer, who won the first martial arts championship, and the contemptible Silio, the former chief swordsman of Braavos. A short and thin man with a wooden sword in his hand said in a rather unique tone.

"It's been famous for a long time. This sentence was not a polite remark, Ma Shen had long been known to this legendary great swordsman.

According to the plot, when Cersei Lannister ordered the arrest of the Stark family who lived in the Red Keep, Syrio dragged the Lannister soldiers and allowed Arya to escape, and Celio defeated five guards and attacked Marin Tran with only the wooden sword he used to practice.

"Well, Sir is welcome. Silio didn't care whether Ma Shen was polite or not, raised his eyebrows, and responded directly.

"Teacher Silio, Teacher Ma Shen said that I want to fight with you. Seeing the two people standing opposite each other, Arya shouted excitedly on the side, looking like she was about to take a bag of melon seeds.

When did I say that I was going to fight with Silio, hearing Arya's shout, Ma Shen thought helplessly, and then looked up and looked at Silio tacitly: "You first or me first." ”

"Sir, come first. Silio said politely.

"I'm sorry about that. Ma Shen said this, but the man quickly came to Arya.

"What's wrong with the teacher?" Arya asked innocently when she saw that Ma Shen had not fought with Celio as she had imagined, but had come to her.

"It's fine, just wanted to give you a chestnut. "It seems that this little guy can't tell the difference, and he and Silio are not such easy people to fool.

Chestnut, hearing this familiar word, Arya's face changed suddenly, and she hurriedly wanted to hold her head, but unfortunately it was too late, Ma Shen had already flicked her finger on Arya's head quickly.

"Oops" Arya covered her head and snorted, but before she could look at Ma Shen with big teary eyes, Celio also came to Arya's side, and said to Arya with a smile: "Ouch, little boy, I'm going to cry out like this, that's not good, as a swordsman, you have to adapt to pain, I discussed it with Sir just now, this lesson will teach you how to adapt to pain." ”

When did you discuss it, Arya said that she had just seen Teacher Ma Shen and Teacher Celeo standing facing each other, and they didn't discuss it at all.

But the two teachers apparently ignored Arya's protests, so Arya's pleasant swordsmanship class was spent in the double "fight" between Ma Shen and Celio.

Standing with Celio and watching Arya limp but a little reluctant to leave, Ma Shen suddenly stroked the giant sword on his waist and said: "Actually, Arya is more suitable to learn your sword than mine, Lord Eddard really hired a good teacher." ”

"Sir, your swordsmanship is not to be underestimated. Silio clasped his hands on his chest and glanced at the scabbard on Ma Shen's body.

"It has nothing to do with my swordsmanship, our swordsmanship has its own strengths and weaknesses, but Arya's physical condition makes her more suitable to follow you as a water dancer. Ma Shen patted the hard but heavy armor on his body, since he felt more handsome in armor, Ma Shen suddenly decided to put on the armor first thing he did when he got up every day.

"Indeed, Arya has a lot of potential to become a water dancer. Celio didn't deny it either.

"Then I don't know if Your Excellency minds taking in another apprentice?" Ma Shen suddenly revealed his little intentions, his little Nasha also wanted to learn swords, so he would help him find a better teacher, anyway, one is a handover, and two are also handed, Silio should not refuse.

"I don't mind, what you value must be a good seedling, I heard that Sir you participated in the martial arts competition and won a prize of 20,000 gold dragon coins. The first sentence is okay, but the latter sentence directly made the corners of Ma Shen's eyes twitch, this guy actually stared at the bonus he was fortunate to win, didn't it mean that the teacher generally didn't charge money when he saw good seedlings, and even some would post money upside down.

But there was no way, looking at Silio's deliberately elongated face, Ma Shen could only endure the pain and said: "The salary is the same as teaching Arya." ”

"Tut-tut" Silio shook his head, and then raised two fingers, there are not many opportunities for this kind of big dog slaughterer, "Twice." ”

Ma Shen's heart trembled, and finally he gritted his teeth and agreed, twice as much, anyway, I have 20,000 gold dragon coins, Ma Shen secretly comforted himself.

After the two reached a consensus, the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious, Ma Shen glanced at Celio, and found that he was just like the original play, when he was teaching Arya swordsmanship, he was holding a wooden sword in his hand: "Your Excellency Celio, I don't know where your matching sword is?"

"Because I'm going to have a sword class, I've left it in my room. Silio's momentum suddenly weakened, could it be because his lion opened his mouth widely, so this local tyrant wanted to take the opportunity to beat himself.

"Then I don't know if Your Excellency can listen to me?" Ma Shen said seriously, staring at Sirio's eyes tightly.

"Please. Looking at Ma Shen's serious expression, Silio couldn't help but put away his cynical smile.

"Although I am not a water dancer, I also know one thing, that is, the sword of a swordsman must be carried with him, otherwise... Ma Shen held the scabbard at his waist, and a momentum suddenly rose from his body, "Otherwise, if I want to kill you now, I can do it easily." ”

There is murderous aura but no killing intent, Silio, as a strong swordsman, immediately judged that the murderous aura on Ma Shen's body was just to warn himself, but this Sir Ma Shen was right, the sword of a swordsman really needs to be carried with him.

"Thanks for the reminder. After grinding for a moment where he usually placed his sword, Silio also realized his mistake.

"That's good. Looking at Silio's cautious expression, Ma Shen knew that he should have listened, although he didn't know if he would die like he had done then, but at least he wouldn't have been cut off by Marin with a sharp steel sword after beating down five Lannister soldiers with a wooden sword, and the swordsman should not have died defenseless.

The next day, Ma Shen opened his eyes from the bed in a daze, today is another good weather, the sun outside is quite big, it looks like the sun at noon, Ma Shen slowly walked to the window and stretched his waist and sighed, Okay, it seems that I slept until noon today.

From the window of this room, you can clearly see the whole view of the garden outside the Prime Minister's Tower, the beautiful garden is full of flowers, birds linger in this garden from time to time, and occasionally there are one or two fountains that are spraying water, a harmonious and quiet appearance.

Now that the tournament is over, is it time for him to say goodbye and go to the river to send Will's ashes back to his hometown, Ma Shen thought to himself. (Will: I'm so happy that my lord finally remembered me.) ）

However, whether he should leave King's Landing or not, the situation in King's Landing will be very dangerous in the near future, and I am afraid that I will not be able to leave it alone.

Eddard soon discovers the truth that Joffrey is not the king's biological son, and also informs Queen Cersei, causing Queen Cersei to prepare, and finally the king dies, and Cersei himself is captured alive, and the family is killed by Lannister soldiers except for two daughters.

In fact, at the beginning, Ma Shen planned to let the plot develop, which was the best for himself, and the troubled times were the best time to change the dynasty, so when he accidentally heard the news that Mrs. Stark kidnapped the little demon Tyrion, he deliberately didn't tell Eddard.

But at this time, he hesitated, the Stark family was not thin on themselves, did they just sit back and let it go, the stern monk Mordan, the young guard who can quickly change his face, the lively and lovely Arya, the simple Sansa, faces flashed in front of Ma Shen's eyes.

What to do, Ma Shen muttered, the sun shining on his face, warm, as if it was the end of the wolf plague.
