Chapter 125 Big Fish Eats Small Fish (End)
Green was silent for a while, and said: "After that night, she also disappeared, including the guards I gave her."
His brown eyes moved, and he said again: "I hope my men can protect the safety of His Highness."
Varys looked at Green, and the smile on his face had long disappeared: "It seems that who the murderer is is obvious."
Green shrugged: "She is a kind girl, something incredible must have happened... Could it be her brother?"
Varys's face showed a faint smile: "The dead are gone, and the living are gone."
Green's eyebrows were slightly raised, Varys was implicitly indicating that he would not pursue Illyrio's death.
Varys' smile deepened: "I also want to congratulate you on your successful trip to Pentos, which is really enviable."
In Varys' eyes, Targaryen Viserys and Daenerys have become political bargaining chips in Green's hands.
Daenerys created an accident, and perhaps this sudden surprise forced Varys to adjust his careful planning for many years.
Green sighed in his heart, it seems that Cersei and Dany are both good at giving people "surprises".
Green was very frank: "Lord Varys, it's too coincidental... I even suspected that it might be a conspiracy by someone, but then I thought... it might be a moment of good luck."
Varys held his hands together, and his tone was relaxed: "The result is gratifying. In the future, Crab will be able to move forward and backward freely."
Green rubbed his hair: "It was an unintentional move arranged out of concern for the safety of the princess. Your words sound wonderful?"
Varys nodded slightly: "Lord Green, the fight for the Iron Throne is not over, and Baratheon has not yet firmly sat in the Seven Kingdoms. My little bird told me that there has been an undercurrent."
Without Illyrio, Varys has lost control of Viserys.
Because the situation in Westeros has not been disrupted, Varys's little Aegon still needs to continue to lurk.
Now, Varys, who is hiding behind the scenes, can only go into battle himself.
…………
Green's eyes trembled slightly, and his tone was heavy: "Lord Varys, this is difficult."
Varys said sincerely: "Earl Green, you are not alone, I will lend you a helping hand."
Green stared at Varys: "I am very grateful for your kindness, but I still want to persuade you, because I can only see the danger, King Robert will never forgive those who help Targaryen."
Varys advised: "King Baratheon will never trust Crab like Targaryen, we know this very well."
Green's face changed, he hesitated for a while, and shook his head: "Lord Varys, I am satisfied that I can protect the princess's safety in secret."
Varys reached out and patted Green: "Your original intention sounds simple, but it is difficult to do, because no one can stop Targaryen's determination to regain the Iron Throne."
With a sigh, he said again: "How can we avoid being involved... Don't forget, big fish eat small fish."
Green looked at Myrcella and Tommen chasing and playing, the children's laughter was crisp and tender.
Varys also looked over, and his question seemed casual: "What kind of king do you think is a good king?"
Green's tone was a little sarcastic: "I have never thought about that kind of thing, but after I came to the Red Castle, I knew what a good king should be like in the minds of the nobles."
"Oh?"
"He does whatever he is told to do, and that's what a good king should be like to them."
Varys smiled and shook his head: "It really surprised me, your answer is really... to the point."
Green shrugged: "You seem to have found the answer?"
Varys' tone was serious: "A good king should understand that ruling is his responsibility, and his people are the first priority. His rule and survival are for his "
Green was stunned for a moment, then said: "Lord Varys, everyone will look forward to such a king, but please forgive me for being frank, can we welcome such a king?"
Varys' eyes lit up a little: "In order to avoid Baratheon's pursuit, Prince Viserys has been wandering around with his young sister since he was a child.
He has witnessed the suffering of the lower-class people with his own eyes. He has long understood the feeling of hunger, the feeling of being hunted, and the feeling of fear.
Because of these hardships, when the prince becomes king, he will understand his own responsibilities. He will do everything he can to stop the people from starving and stop letting them live in fear. "
Green's eyes moved slightly. Did the bald eunuch want to kill him?
Varys knew very well that the process of re-establishing a trusting relationship was time-consuming and laborious.
If he approached through Green, who seemed to have temporarily gained Daenerys' trust, it would make it easier for Varys to gain Targaryen's trust.
Get a direct ticket, plus a heavy gift?
For example... a dragon egg?
It seems that Varys has successfully received Illyrio's legacy.
If everything goes well, Varys will soon regain control of the Targaryens in the open, and his plan will continue to move forward as planned.
Viserys will return to Westeros with enough troops, and Varys will hide in the dark, causing war in the Seven Kingdoms.
The great nobles will be weakened, and Viserys will die at the right time... In the end, little Aegon will wave his flag, win the hearts of the people of the Seven Kingdoms, and can sit on the Iron Throne legitimately.
It's a pity that the time traveler Green Tianke Octopus Spider Varys.
…………
Green trusted Varys very much. He said with regret: "It's a pity that I couldn't meet His Highness Viserys in Pentos."
Varys smiled and said: "It's only a matter of time. I think His Highness Viserys will trust you."
Why did Green think Varys wanted to kill him?
Although it was Illyrio who approached Viserys before, Varys must know Viserys as well as Illyrio.
What kind of character does Viserys have?
He only has the Iron Throne in his eyes, so he doesn't care about the suffering of the people. Moreover, Viserys can't play the role of a kind prince like Varys said.
Varys was sure that Green couldn't meet Viserys, so he made up this lie that would be exposed as soon as they met.
Although the two of them talked lightly on the surface, the content of the discussion was no different from rebellion. Afterwards, it couldn't be regarded as a painless thing, because it was a deception.
Deception and conspiracy go hand in hand in the game of thrones.
Green's slender fingers touched the hilt of the long sword at his waist.
As the self-proclaimed guardian of the Crab Claw Peninsula, Green was inevitably influenced by the simple folk customs of the Crab Claw Peninsula.
Varys insulted Myrcella and Tommen, and the loyal Green couldn't help but stab the rude minister on the spot.
Let the two children testify... Forget it, don't lead the children astray. Lord Green is an upright knight. At most, he will be tried by combat! !
…………
Green's eyes were a little hot, which well concealed his murderous intention.
"Lord Varys, you care about the kingdom, I am willing to introduce you to Princess Daenerys. However, please give me some time to consider other things."
The chaos of the Seven Kingdoms cannot be separated from Petyr and Varys for the time being.
Although these two like-minded people are hidden behind the scenes, from Green's perspective, they are in the front stage, and he is behind the scenes.
He can't be indifferent. King Green is going to go back and plan how to control little Aegon first.
Also, we need to contact Daenerys in advance. The kind-hearted Dragonstone princess can be easily deceived by people with ulterior motives.
Yes, Green doesn't believe that Varys will only rely on him to contact the real dragons on the southward journey. Don't forget that Varys has eight claws.
This is the game of power. Those who believe in Green or Varys' words have already lost half of the game before it even starts.
Varys smiled gently, his eyes flickered: "It should be so, Lord Green."
…………
Shortly after Varys left, Myrcella and Tommen, who were tired of playing, came to the shade of the tree where Green was.
The well-trained Maegtar maids quickly took care of the prince and princess.
Myrcella's green eyes were bright, flashing with curiosity and innocence: "Lord Green, I heard that you defeated the Knight of Flowers in Highgarden?"
Although he is the child of Cersei's boss, Green is in a rare relaxed mood when he stays with them.
In the blue sky, white clouds are floating slowly, rolling and surging like waves. Sometimes they gathered together, sometimes they dispersed into wisps, and they were leisurely in the sky.
At this time, Green was sitting under the tree, leaning against the tree. Hearing the voice of Misala, he retracted his gaze.
The matter of defeating the Knight of Flowers made Green one of the hot topics in King's Landing, and he was moved again.
Green looked a little distressed: "Yes, Princess Misala. I heard that no girl doesn't like the Knight of Flowers. I am worried about this. Many friends advised me not to go out easily recently. The girls in King's Landing hate me so much now."
After hearing Green's words, the fat boy Tommen laughed very happily.
Misala's lips raised with a sweet smile: "You need to pay a little attention to safety."
After speaking, Misala couldn't help but chuckle.
The little princess's golden curly hair danced gently in the wind, exuding vitality and innocence.
Green's body movements were a little exaggerated: "Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness. I will bring enough guards."
…………
In the evening, Green left the Red Castle and returned to the house.
Swish, swish, swish, the quill on the desk was waving, Green was writing a troop transfer order, he planned to transfer 100 soldiers from the territory to King's Landing first.
Green put the written letter into the envelope, and with a thump, sealed it with mud and stamped it.
The envelope was placed aside, and Green pinched his chin.
He was considering the timing of leaving King's Landing.
Sometimes, if you want to be comprehensive, you can't be comprehensive, so he has to make a choice.
Green put his hands on the back of his head, raised his eyes and looked at the roof.
Although the valley is an integral part of the Crab Claw Peninsula, it is easy to be indigestible and consume the essence of the Crab Claw Peninsula by military means alone, so political means must be taken seriously.
Green is thinking about whether there is a chance to plan a seat in the Imperial Conference.
Well, Green, the Imperial Minister!
