"Who is it?" asked Robb, curiously.

"The most unimaginable people. Ma Shen replied mysteriously, and walked towards the old man in the carriage.

Hearing this, Robb glanced strangely at the old man who had been staring at the carriage, who was this? Although it looked very unfamiliar, it had a familiar feeling.

"Lord Eddard, you're home. Before Robb could figure it out, Ma Shen, who walked to the old man's side, had gently unveiled the mask on Ed's face, and this revelation also meant that the mask of the Faceless was useless, because the mask of the Faceless was a disposable, the same concept as the Assassin who left with one blow.

"It looks like Eddard-sama. "It's really Lord Eddard!" The old man instantly turned into the familiar Ed, and everyone was in an uproar.

In the midst of the uproar, Robb looked at Ed blankly, "Father. . . Father. ”

"I rescued Lord Eddard from King's Landing. Ma Shen explained.

"Master Karstark, send someone to inform Mother and Sansa, and say that Father is back. Robb reacted, and after shouting excitedly at Earl Karstark, who had just been arguing with him, he strode towards Eddard.

"Hahahaha, okay, Robb" came from behind Karstark's beaming reply.

Robb, who ran in front of Ed, knelt on one knee and was out in the limelight, but now Robb looked like a son who would only rely on his father: "Father, are you okay, each of us is so worried about you, I also led the troops south to save you." ”

"Ahh Yes.. Never expecting to see his son again, Ed couldn't help but shed tears and tried to touch Robb's head, but unfortunately he couldn't.

"Father, what's wrong with you?" Robb also noticed the abnormality and asked anxiously, but Ed, who had no tongue, obviously couldn't answer, so Robb turned to Ma Shen and asked, "Sir, what's wrong with him, father?"

"Eddard's tongue and the tendons of both hands are covered... Ma Shen was a little hard to say.

"They!!, they dare!" Robb roared angrily, "The Starks will fight them to the death, and I will attack King's Landing and behead that King and Queen Joffrey." ”

"Ahh Yes.. Ed's anxious shouts could be heard.

"Don't worry, father, I won't be reckless. Robb took a deep breath, barely hiding the murderous intent that flashed in the corner of his eye, and carefully helped Ed down.

"Ed, Ed!" Lady Caitlyn received the news in the distance, and rushed as fast as she could.

"You're back, Ed," Lady Caitlyn hugged Eddard tightly, ignoring the others, "I thought I'd never see you again." ”

"Mother, father's hands and tongue. Robb stopped talking next to him.

Hand and tongue, Caitlin was startled, glanced at Ed in her arms, and found that Ed, who was supposed to comfort herself, could only make some inexplicable screams.

Holding back the tears that were about to erupt, Lady Caitlyn smiled and said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”

"Let's go, Master Karstark, and don't disturb them. Seeing this, Ma Shen sighed and greeted Earl Karstark to the side.

"Get out of the way, what are you doing here, people want to reminisce about the past!"

Count Karstark nodded, and stepped forward to disperse everyone who surrounded Eddard.

After everyone had left, Count Karstark returned to Massin's side, "Anyway, Lord Eddard is back, tell us how our wolf slayer saved Lord Eddard from Joffrey's kid." ”

"Okay, Master Karstark"

And just like that, the afternoon ended with the Stark family's warmth and the exchange between Ma Shen and the nobles of the North.

As night fell, all the knight vassals packed up their moods and gathered in the main camp to celebrate the return of Duke Eddard, in addition, many people also received notices that after the banquet was over, they would also discuss the next step after the ultimate goal of rescuing Lord Ed to the south was achieved, whether to continue to march to the Lannisters or return to the north, everyone had a budget in mind.

"Lord Eddard, after hearing that you were imprisoned, I brought everyone in the territory here without saying a word!"

"Old man who is not shy, isn't it possible that you are the only one, I immediately put down my work and brought everyone over. ”

The two vassals argued in front of Eddard, while Lady Catelyn and Eddard smiled at the two arguing vassals.

After a while, Robb, who was sitting on the side, clapped his hands and stood up, "Everyone, please be quiet!"

The noise in the tent gradually quieted down, "Father is back today, I am very happy, do it first as a respect." Robb said as he took the first sip of the liquor in his glass.

"Hahahaha" Everyone at the banquet followed Robb to drink the liquor in the cup in one gulp.

"And, of course, thank you to Sir Marchim, for resisting the Lannisters in Harrenhal, and even more so for saving my two sisters and my father from the perilous odds. Robb filled his glass with wine, then turned it toward Ma Shen, who was sitting in the crowd, and drank it down.

"That's what I'm supposed to do. Ma Shen hurriedly stood up and drank all the liquor in the cup, and the people around him clapped their hands and cheered.

"Sir, don't be modest, I am so grateful that you saved my father and sister in King's Landing. Putting down the glass, Robb came to Ma Shen under everyone's gaze, "I don't know what Sir wants." ”

"It's what I'm supposed to do, and I don't deserve to be rewarded for it. Ma Shen shook his head and refused.

"You are a noble person, but we can't weaken our gratitude to you because of your noble qualities, for me, family is everything. Robb said sincerely, picking up a delicate longsword handed by his squire, "This is the weapon I captured in the Battle of the Whispering Forest, a Valyrian steel sword from Earl Gavin Westerling, who has been in the Westerling family for three hundred years, and now he belongs to you." ”

Valyrian steel sword, the hardest metal in the world of ice and fire, since Robb asks so strongly, then accept it yourself, Ma Shen took the long sword with an obsessive look in his eyes, and pulled out a little blade.

The body of the sword glows with a ghostly light, reflecting the candlelight in the banquet, and there are two red grooves on the blade of the sword, and the smell of blood has left deep traces in these two grooves, from birth to the present, I don't know how much blood my father and mother have drunk this sword.

"Does it have a name?"

"Yes, but it's not the same, it's your sword from now on, and you can give it a new name. Robb smiled and shook his head.

"Let's call him the Red Slaughter Sword. Ma Shen slowly brushed the two grooves with his hand, as if he heard a large number of weapons colliding and screaming.

After Ma Shen put the Red Slaughter Sword into the scabbard, Robb then asked, "Sir Ma Shen, I have not known your full name, may I ask what your full name is?"

"Lord Robb, my full name is in my hometown of Ma Shen. ”

"This is difficult, is it possible to call your family the Ma Shen family in the future, hahahaha!" Rob laughed a few times, and his face turned straight, "I wonder if Sir is willing to swear in front of the gods and the world to defend the weak, protect women and children, no matter how difficult, humble, or dangerous the future, you will always fight bravely and bravely to live up to your mission?"

"I do. This seemed to be a declaration of canonization of nobles, and Ma Shen's eyes lit up and he fell to one knee.

"Then, Sir Synand, in return for you, I will canonize you as Earl of Synthion in the name of my father, Eddard Stark, Duke of Winterfell and Guardian of the North, in the presence of the Old Gods and the knights. ”

All the knights and vassals present drew their swords from their waists with solemn faces and raised it high: "We are here to witness!"
