Chapter 19: Saving Bran
In people's hearts, knights are always heroic, honor-oriented, faithful to their promises, loyal to their lords, and faithful. They should be loyal to the feudal lords and fight for their faith. In fact, most knights were not so noble, and many knights did not even think of practicing chivalry, and the knighthood was only a means of speculation and ascension.

The King decided to set out at dawn to go hunting, completely ignoring the two days of hangover brains, which, in the words of King Robert, was the only thing I could do now.
And Ma Shen, in order to avoid not finding Bran on this day, just in case, waited in front of Bran's door early, and the excuse for dealing with others was that the plan of the day was in the morning, and the early birds had worms to eat, and in order to entertain the king, Bran's swordsmanship had been abandoned a lot, so he had to take Bran to practice swords in the morning today.
After the servant washed the face of the confused Bran, Ma Shen went out with Bran directly, and decided not to let Bran out of his sight all day today.
Of course, it is inevitable to ask King Robert for a leave, after all, Ma Shen was just canonized as a knight by the king, when the king went hunting, but did not set off with the king, it will inevitably be said that he is carried away and arrogant, so there must be a suitable reason, and the reason for teaching Bran swordsmanship is very good, and King Robert is very tolerant of his friend's children.
Holding Bran, who was a little confused, Ma Shen walked slowly on the road, passing by the knights who were already ready to go.
"Teacher, where are we going?" asked Bran, wiping his eyes in confusion.
"I'm going to take you to sword training, we're going to have a day of lessons today, but before that, we're going to ask the king for a leave of absence. Ma Shen replied.
It didn't take long for Ma Shen to see King Robert from a distance, who was chatting with Eddard.
When I got closer, I heard King Robert provocatively asking Duke Eddard, "Is your strength comparable to that of the past?"
Not to be outdone, Duke Ed replied, "No, but I can still win you." ”
"Hahahaha, look, our wolf slayer is here with little Bran. King Robert laughed, and suddenly he saw Masan and Bran approaching.
Ma Shen stood in place and saluted King Robert and Duke Eddard, and then said: "Your Majesty, I want to take a leave of absence from you, please allow me not to accompany you to hunt today, you know, I am the swordsmanship teacher of Lord Ed's child, and I will start my swordsmanship today, after all, swordsmanship is a thing, if you don't practice it for a day, it will regress a lot, please allow me." ”
"Sir Synon, you are a good teacher, and if it weren't for the fact that my child is past this age, I would have given him to you, hahaha. King Robert joked vulgarly.
This joke is not funny at all, I don't think I have the ability to teach your "fake" son well, and when I think about the scene of being Joffrey's teacher, Ma Shen feels that he will definitely collapse.
"Well, if our Lord Ed doesn't have a problem, then I'll allow you not to hunt, you don't know the joy of hunting right now, boy. King Robert graciously granted Ma Shen's leave.
"Then Bran will trouble you today. Duke Ed sat on his horse and nodded at Ma Shen.
"Okay, Lord Ed," Ma Shen agreed earnestly.
"Then let's go. King Robert was already eager to go hunting, and when Ed had finished explaining, he shouted to the people around him, "Come, boys, let's go hunt some wild boars and come back for dinner." ”
"Well, don't worry, Your Majesty. ”
"Your Majesty, how can a few wild boars be enough. ”
The knights around heard the king's cry and responded in response.
"Hahahaha," laughed King Robert and led Ed to gallop outside.
Ma Shen smiled at the back of King Robert riding away, then turned his head to look, and was immediately dumbfounded, Bran who had been standing beside him was gone, and the little wolf that had been glued to Bran all day was gone.
It's really a dog, what about people, who was still next to him just now, why is it all of a sudden gone, Ma Shen looked around anxiously.
Bran should be climbing the wall now, so what is he climbing the wall for, it must be to see the knights who are out hunting outside the city, then it must be on the side near the wall, but the question is the wall on the left or the wall on the right?
At this time, Ma Shen suddenly faintly heard the cry of the little wolf, and was startled, and hurriedly ran to the place where the cry sounded.
Unfortunately, most of the time their owners didn't pay attention, such as just before the Red Wedding, Robb's Ice Wolf Grey Wind sensed that the Freys were plotting a betrayal, so when Robb arrived in the Twin Cities, he yelled madly at Rosso Frey. Caitlin convinces Robb of Grey Wind's instincts, but Robb disagrees, and when the wedding takes place, Robb chains the inexplicably irascible Grey Wind to the stable, which eventually leads to the appearance of the Scarlet Wedding.
"Where, where. Ma Shen muttered in his mouth as he ran to find it, and as Ma Shen ran, the wolf's howl became closer and closer.
The sound seemed to be nearby, and Ma Shen turned his head to see a small figure climbing nimbly on a stone tower, and very close to the window of a room that had fallen into disrepair, and a little wolf was howling in a circle below.
Ma Shen hurriedly ran over and yelled at Bran, who was slowly approaching the window, "What are you doing!
Hearing a familiar voice from below, Bran turned his head to look down, only to see an anxious little man looking up at him uneasily.
"It's the teacher, don't worry about me, climbing this is completely trivial to me, my father also said that I must be a squirrel, and now I was about to climb up to see my father's back as they set off, but just now I seem to hear some strange noise, so I plan to go over and take a look." Bran shouted at Ma Shen.
"Don't go over, come down, I'm going to be angry!" Ma Shen tried to climb up like Bran, but he couldn't climb at all, so he had to wait below.
"Oh, come down right now. Bran didn't know why the teacher was so angry, maybe it was because he was afraid of falling down, Bran thought to himself, but the teacher didn't expect that climbing this would be easy for me, but Bran, who had always thought he was a good child, still planned to listen to the teacher's words and go down first, so he immediately agreed.
Bran was about to go down, but before leaving, he suddenly glanced at it, there was a strange sound just now, but now it was a silent window, Bran only felt that he couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart, he had crawled here so many times, and he had never heard a sound from the room that had been abandoned for a long time.
"Just take a look, and then go down right away. Bran said silently to himself.
Ma Shen, who was underground, saw that Bran did not listen to his words, but gradually approached the window.
"Damn, when he comes down, I'm going to have to beat him up. Ma Shen scolded angrily, no longer waiting, and opened the data page to exchange for climbing skills.
"Exchange for basic climbing, cost 10 energy"
After exchanging skills, Ma Shen immediately climbed towards it a little awkwardly, but he didn't climb a few steps, and when he swept under his feet, he only felt dizzy.
Ma Shen suddenly realized that he might be a little afraid of heights, but he just glanced at Bran above, he had no choice but to try not to look down, silently encouraged himself, overcame the fear in his heart, and crawled in the direction of Bran at full speed.
And by this time Bran had already reached the window, let out an exclamation, as if he had seen something, and then was vaguely caught by someone with his hands, and Bran could only struggle in vain.
