Chapter 553 Qingjun's side! (Part 1)

Varys and Petyr have traveled south and north in this life. They are both people who have experienced wind and rain. They have encountered dangers and crises that are much more exciting than this, but when it comes to eating such a meal, there are ups and downs. , it's the first time. Based on their knowledge and experience, Rao also secretly sighed in his heart - "See you soon".

After experiencing a roller coaster-like emotional up and down, the two nemesis decided to appease the irritable third party by giving in and pretending to be cowardly. After some effort, the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch was successfully calmed down.

Igor, who seemed content to overwhelm the king and take control of the situation, finally stopped making any scary scenes, and enjoyed a big meal while chatting and laughing, chatting with Varys and Petyr like old friends. From the meeting of the lords to be held in midwinter, and his plans for the coalition southward expedition that will follow...

It is said to be "chat", but in fact the two conspirators just talked about it. Frightened enough, now I just want to quickly coax this reckless man to eat and drink enough so that he can get out of the house completely, how can he have the heart and interest to really argue or discuss with him? So, under their conscious control, the conversation is all about following Igor's mind in a subtle, subtle way that's invisible and imperceptible - led by one person, what he says is what. At most...that is, the first two deliberately get involved in order to avoid looking too perfunctory, inserting a question from time to time, and occasionally giving two innocuous little suggestions.

I didn't sleep well all night, and I had another meal of threats with a real sword. I didn't feel sleepy when I was pointed at it by the sword. Now, after drinking and sitting for a while, I pretended to eat something. , as soon as people relax, the tiredness of hiding the sky and covering the earth suddenly surges. After a few more words from Igor, Varys suddenly felt exhausted, and everything was boring. Not only did he not want to talk for a while, he even felt a little lazy to move his fingers.

He probably felt tired as well, or maybe he had finished saying what he had to say, and suddenly there was a brief silence at the dining table for no reason. After about half a minute, he chewed and swallowed the food stuffed in his mouth. Igor, who was belly, put down the cutlery in his hand and lifted the head.

......

"Cough—I thought about it." He cleared his throat, smashed his mouth again, and cleaned up the food residue in the crevice of his mouth. Put it on the napkin, "The plan discussed just now is actually a little flawed."

The two audience members just got up and prepared to deal with it, but Igor only said half a sentence but stopped abruptly— —He raised the napkin and, under the gaze of his four eyes, remained calm and composed while handling pressing affairs...

Wipe his mouth.

Three laps to the left, three laps to the right, three laps to the top, three laps to the bottom... It seems to be taking an oath of authority, but also like playing a petty temper. Do it again... twice, until the mouth was wiped clean, Petyr and Varys also waited for secret fire, and Night's Watch opened the mouth and said the second half of the sentence.

"I believe that both of them are loyal to Queen, and I am very happy to reach an agreement on matters related to North and South Expeditions... However, our origins, growth and vision experience are so different, Even if we can barely reach a consensus here today, how can we guarantee that every time there is a disagreement and disagreement in ideas in the future, the conflict will eventually be resolved, and Perfection will handle the conflict?"

Returning?

What a nerve!
Petyr and Varys' heads are all over the place: what to play, what to pretend... They have already made all the concessions they can make within a reasonable range, and the atmosphere in the room just now has been quite harmonious and harmonious Now, Igor has only been normal for a while, and now there is such a sentence mystifying, what kind of trouble is he trying to make, and there is no end to it?
Littlefinger suppressed his emotions and said with a smile: "Lord Commander what is this? There are dissent and disagreements, isn't it normal, everyone put their own ideas on the table, brainstormed, perfectly clear Let's take a look and debate, which one is better and which is worse, which Queen wants to choose, it's not natural to know?"

"Braining ideas?" Igor chuckled, "Indeed, most of the time it is A good way, but what about the premise? It must be that everyone has common interests, ideals and goals, and is willing to work hard in one place." He shrugged and changed his tone, "The two adults are very smart, I don't want to deny it, but Due to your own aristocratic class attributes and the resulting fixed mindset, it is doomed: you will never be able to understand what the Queen thinks and deeply understand what the Queen thinks like me. In this case, the two At some point, not only are the talents and abilities not advantages and strengths, but instead become troubles and constraints, leading to meaningless internal friction.”

(Isn’t this saying that oneself and Petyr is superfluous?)

Varys breathes deeply, the heartbeat that has just recovered to a steady level begins to speed up again, and regains its vigilance: "What do you say? Aren't we all loyal to Your Majesty, trying to make Queen Sending Iron Throne? Isn't that a common interest, ideal, and goal?"

"No, at best, it can only be regarded as serving the same master and cramming into the same boat...no disrespect , but among the three of us, the only one who can truly understand Queen's aspirations and ideals, and are willing to fight for them, is the next person." Igor face doesn't change, gentle, calm, but let people dare not pay attention Si's rhetoric, "To this end, I have developed a set of detailed and specific strategic guidelines, and Your Majesty only needs to execute step by step, and then you can sit back on the Iron Throne with ease and joy, and break the 'wheel of history' that she has always wanted to break..." ."

"And it is precisely this plan that the two adults will definitely not agree with. After thinking about it, there is only one way to eliminate the potential conflict and prevent the inevitable future conflict. The contradictions and arguments that have occurred. That is, um..."

He paused, with an unpredictable and weird smile, slowly said: "Thank you two for helping and supporting Dany all the way to get here, but then Come down, if you can leave the Queen and let me accompany Your Majesty to walk the rest of the way, that would be great."

Dany?

Is this kind of intimate and arrogant name also worthy of a newcomer you have just joined for a few months?

And, what does it mean to leave Queen? is it possible that oneself and Varys resign?

It's a joke, even if the two agree, will Queen agree to let them go?

If Petyr could barely think that he was trying to scare Varys into giving this eunuch some color when Igor's "forced drinking" came out, then this time he made more arrogant and arrogant remarks. , but it really made him lose his mind at all. When he sensed something was wrong, his heart started beating like a drum, and his eloquent teeth suddenly disappeared, and his mouth was dry, and his "Dignified Hand of the Queen" actually connected to what to say. Figured it out: "Lord Commander, you don't even say your plan...how can you be sure that we won't accept it?"

Littlefinger's plan was to use questions to induce Igor to answer, delaying Time is slowing down, trying to figure out its purpose so that it can take a targeted countermeasure... But on the opposite side of him, Varys noticed the same abnormality, but for the first time after entering this room, the completely opposite idea came to him.

He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find the wrong spot for a while, which was very unusual - with his keen intuition and old-fashioned vision with which he has been rolling all the way from the bottom to where he is today. , usually can find out the problem immediately when the sense of crisis appears, but today...

During the horror, the heartbeat speed is getting faster and faster, after thinking hard for a while, he suddenly There is an answer.

The problem is oneself! To be precise, he "couldn't find the problem", the problem itself! His physical strength is slowly dissipating, and the speed of thinking is also slowing down unconsciously, which leads to unresponsiveness and difficulty in thinking!

A moment ago, he thought it was the result of being startled again after he didn't get a good night's rest last night, but when Igor appeared out of nowhere, it seemed like nonsense and obviously meant something. The bizarre remarks he pointed to, after he raised his vigilance again, the imperceptible anomaly became prominent!
He didn't know how many important nights he had stayed up all night in his life, but the fatigue and weakness he felt this time was far beyond the normal level!

He pursed his lips, almost exhausted the strength of his upper body, and clenched his fist again, but was surprised to find that even his fingers began to feel numb.

Poison? Anesthetic? Or... simply scared away by Igor's bizarre speech and behavior?

He no longer has the strength to guess, but his sobriety still tells Varys: No matter what, it can't be wrong to get out of this house as soon as possible!
"Lord Commander, I'm feeling a little sick in my lower body, so I'll tell you first..." Varys stood up laboriously with his hands on the edge of the dining table, trying to maintain clarity - unfortunately, he didn't finish his farewell after all. Igor's suspicious gaze and Littlefinger's surprised gaze froze in place.

After a second, eunuch fell to the side of the chair with a thud as if his Soul was taken away in an instant.

"Lord Varys?" Petyr was stunned, and stood up subconsciously in surprise, not knowing that the violent emotional changes and physical movements would consume the last bit of dissolved oxygen that his blood circulation system was still trying to carry. If he continued to sit, he might have a few more minutes to live, and a chance to make futile calls for help... But as soon as he got up and stood up, his eyes darkened under the lack of oxygen in his brain, and he even ended up pinching like in a work of art. Oneself neck, pointing at the poisoner furiously shouted "I will never let you go" opportunity was completely lost... Following in the footsteps of the old enemy, he fell to the ground silently, and died abruptly.

God.

Is there really anything in the world that works so quickly and violently?
Although Qyburn Maester has repeatedly assured him that the poison qualifies as "rapid", "painless" and "certain death without cure", even stating exactly how long it takes and describing the poisoning All the performances of sudden death... But when I really watched the two shit sticks fall down one after another like a movie in a few seconds, Igor still couldn't help but admire the wonder of biochemistry... and how oneself accidentally picked up such a talent of luck.

After waiting enough time, I also followed Qyburn's suggestion to use words to confuse and intimidate the two to speed up their heartbeat to ensure the ending of sudden death, but in fact, Igor still arranged for the movement in the house in the plan. Alternative to being heard by Unsullied outside the door. Fortunately, in the end, the poison in the wine not only did not disappoint, but also greatly exceeded expectations, giving him a surprise.

Such a magical, perfect poison that not only meets his needs and even suits his style of behavior is of course not developed overnight, but Qyburn Maester has long been prepared for Yara Grejoy's assassination of pro Uncle Euron at Igor's request. Some of them survived as a result of academic research and professional habits. No one expected that the star who was supposed to play in the Kraken family's internal murder kin drama would be useful in Winterfell.

It was too late to sigh how wonderful the poison is and how Impermanence it is, Igor was in a hurry and couldn't wait to tear off his collar, revealing an item that was hidden under his clothes to the air.

If there are other conscious people in the room who can see Igor at this moment, they will be amused by his funny appearance: a gold chain inlaid with rubies hangs in the untied neckline, and the golden light shines faintly. Glittering red light, luxurious, dazzling, and enchanting, it is extraordinary at first glance, but unfortunately it does not match his male identity and the black clothed of the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.
