Chapter 886

"The Lannisters of Casterly Rock City are dead, and all the Lannisters of Tywin's branch are dead." The fat eunuch held up a piece of letter paper and shouted in fear.

"Kangdang—" The copper kettle slipped from James' hands and hit the ground, the water gurgled and soaked a large piece of soil, "How is that possible?"

"What did you say?" Tyrion asked in bewilderment.

"Your family, the whole family is dead." Varys swallowed and said with difficulty.

"Fuck, your whole family was eaten up by the White Walkers." Tyrion cursed, rushed forward a few steps, and snatched the letter.

James leaned his head in too.

With just one glance, the two of them frowned.

There were many words on the letter paper, but they were all numbers, which dazzled the two brothers.

"What is this?" James asked anxiously.

"It should be a kind of password, using numbers as the encryption method of words." Tyrion looked at the fat eunuch in surprise, "You learned it from the Dragon Queen?"

"I invented the method of encrypting messages with numbers decades ago. When you say that, I suspect that she learned from me."

Varys muttered, looked at the two Lannisters worriedly, and said softly, "The letter came from Casterly Rock City. I also have little birds in Casterly Rock City. Hundreds of members of your family died. Almost all the offshoots of the direct line are dead."

During the peak period of the Octopus Spider, spies were even arranged in Qarth, in the city of Mawang, and in Slaver's Bay. It is not normal for one or two small birds to appear in the house of the Seventh Duke.

The first spy chief in A Song of Ice and Fire is Varys.

"Are you kidding?" Seeing the eunuch's earnest eyes with pity and intolerance, Tyrion's heart tightened violently, and he tried to crack a smile that was uglier than crying. Uncle Ang Tang contacted, and I told him, don't worry about Dragon Queen and Stannis anymore.

He smiled and said he believed I didn't kill Uncle Kevan, and that Aunt Gina's family would return to Casterly Rock from Riverrun in two days. "

James said shyly: "Who can capture Casterly Rock City? Could it be the White Walkers? It shouldn't be, and the White Walkers can't break into Casterly Rock City in an instant.

If the White Walkers attack, the Grom mage in Casterly Rock can instantly contact the Dragon Queen on Dragonstone Island through a glass candle, and the 'Dawn Warrior' stationed in Harrenhal will immediately rush to support."

"It's not the White Walkers, it's food poisoning, collective food poisoning." Varys said.

"What? Are you kidding me?" The eyeballs of the two brothers almost popped out.

"Is your Aunt Gina the wife of Lord Emmon Frey, Lord of Riverrun?" Varys asked.

"Don't talk about these useless things, let's clarify the matter of Casterly Rock City first." Tyrion said irritably.

Varys spread his hands and said helplessly: "It's over, including the fire wizard Grom, 870 people died in Casterly Rock City.

It's that simple.

They died of collective poisoning while attending the banquet, even the bachelor died, and the medicine has not yet been determined.

My agent is not sure if it was an accident or poisoning by enemies of the Lannisters, there should be follow-up news in a few days. "

"Damn it!" James' eyes were sore, he slammed his fist heavily on the stone wall, choked up and said, "It's all my fault, I should have returned to Casterly Rock immediately after the Battle of Winterfell."

Tyrion turned his head away, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said hoarsely: "It's a good thing you didn't go back, at least we're alive, Cersei is alive, and Myrcella is still alive in Slaver's Bay."

The two brothers bowed their heads in grief for a while. Tyrion first wiped away the tears on his face, then raised his head and asked the eunuch, "What did you want to say before?"

Varys hesitated for a moment, then said in a roundabout way: "There are dead people haunting the city of Riverrun, do you know?"

Tyrion rubbed his red eyes, shook his head and said, "I only know that there are strange ghosts in the river."

Although James has been digging holes in the tunnel, he has also been obtaining information from Varys, and he is not slow to outside news.

He said: "The Dragon Queen's judgment that day was correct. The White Ghost King opened his second life and disappeared, but the activities of the White Ghosts going south did not stop. Penetrate widely.

Between the northern border and the river, large tracts of tombs were stolen, and the dead crawled out from under the earth one after another, strengthening the ranks of the White Walkers.

If there are too many ghouls, it will inevitably show their traces in front of people. There have been alarms of ghouls appearing on the outskirts of many castles and villages in the river. "

"In the past month, there have been at least three White Walker alarms in Riverrun, but the Dragon Queen ignored them, and the Warriors of Dawn did not move out either." Varys said with a strange expression.

"I really don't know about this, is it because the White Walkers are too small?" Tyrion asked.

Varys pointedly said: "Rush City is the capital of the river, and the anti-ghost committee~~~ More precisely, it is the Dragon Queen, and neither sent alchemists to River Run (the fire wizard of the King's Landing Alchemist Guild) , and did not distribute atonement rolls and dragonglass weapons to Riverrun.

If there is an army of white ghosts attacking Riverrun, I'm afraid it will fall in half an hour like Hearthkeep in the north, so your aunt's family has to leave.

Most of the lion's army fell in King's Landing, and Casterly Rock City was unprecedentedly empty. They also welcomed any military force who came to join them, not to mention that Mrs. Gina was originally a direct line of Lannister. "

"Why did the Dragon Queen target my aunt?" Tyrion asked puzzled.

"It has nothing to do with Aunt Gina, it's Walder Frey!" James smiled wryly.

Varys glanced at him, nodded and said, "The Queen of Dragons has mentioned many times that after finishing the Battle of Meereen, she will return to Westeros to hold a Great Council to deal with the bad things in Westeros for the past 20 years. Reason."

"I know that," Tyrion said immediately.

Even Jaime knew what the Dragon Queen was thinking.

"Now that the White Walkers are going south, it is almost impossible to gather the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms together, so some things are only discussed online through glass candles and letters.

At that point, you seem to be still in Slaver's Bay, and the whole thing lasted less than a week because Walder Frey's non-cooperation ended early. said Varys.

"Don't beat around the bush, just say what you want to say." The dwarf said impatiently.

"This is my way of expressing, do you want to listen? If you don't listen, I will leave." Varys said lightly.

James seemed to understand something, "Go on."

Varys said slowly, "The Kingslayer has become the Gray Guard, Lannister, at least Jaime and the Targaryen are settled.

Next, the Dragon Queen turned her attention to the Red Wedding and the Purple Wedding.

The conclusion of the purple wedding has long been reached. Joffrey died of the conspiracy of the old rose and Littlefinger, and Tyrell was also wiped out by the Eurons.

The queen only formally announced that the titles of Tyrell and Littlefinger were abolished.

Everyone was dead, and the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms certainly had no objection.

Originally, the red wedding was also very simple. Everyone knew what happened in Shuhe City. The problem was the result of the trial of the Dragon Queen. "

"What the Dragon Queen means is: First, Old Walder admits the crime of violating the rights of guests and betraying the lord. He must publicly apologize to Winterfell in front of the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms. Raven;

Second, those Freys who participated in the Red Wedding, including Old Walder himself, had to commit suicide to apologize;

Third, deprive the Frey family of the title of Duke of Hejian, and the city of Shuhe will still belong to Frey, but the Frey family will be reduced from a marquis to a property knight. Come out to compensate the families of the victims of the Red Wedding.

Of course, there was a sacred wedding before the red wedding.

Stark should be punished too, and Robb's violation of the sacred marriage contract is no less sinful than old Walder.

First of all, Robb, like Walder Frey, had to commit suicide to apologize. At the same time, the current Duke of the North publicly apologized to Frey the River City in front of the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms; Miss Frey, who retired from the engagement, had a wish in line with the teachings of the Seven Gods.

In this way, the grievances between Frey and the Stark family are settled. "

The corner of Tyrion's mouth twitched, "It's fair, but for Walder Frey, I'm afraid it's a bit hard to accept."

James sighed: "Old Walder should accept that the most valuable thing in Twist River City is not the fiefdom and title, but Twist River City itself, which serves as the only bridge for the Green Fork River.

Frey is the victim of Robb's violation of the sacred marriage. This is a fact. The Dragon Queen has considered this, so she left the foundation of the Frey family to rise. "

Varys sneered: "Walder Frey doesn't want to die, and he doesn't think he should give up his title of Duke of the River. He said that it was conferred by the Iron Throne, and the Dragon Queen has no right to revoke his title and fiefdom."

"Don't old Walder know the outcome of the Battle of Meereen? How brave you are to refuse the Dragon Queen." Tyrion wondered.

James shook his head and said, "The online trial on the glass candle was just an experiment.

After the establishment of the Dawn Warrior, demonstrate the use and effect of glass candles to the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms to strengthen their confidence in fighting against the ghost committee.

Walder Frey knew this, and he was sure the Dragon Queen wouldn't really care about his reaction.

Moreover, he already understood the Dragon Queen's bottom line. When the long night passed and the Dragon Queen settled the accounts, he would have died many years ago, and Frey would not be punished more severely. With this calculation, he would have made a lot of money! "

Varys sighed, "Actually, the Dragon Queen didn't send the dragons to burn the city, she just gave up on Riverrun entirely.

Atonement Scrolls, Magic Network, Dragonglass Weapons, Dawn Warrior's rescue, none of them. "

"What does this have to do with the collective poisoning incident at Casterly Rock?" Tyrion asked hesitantly.

Although he was asking the eunuch, his face became serious. Like James, he had a vague guess in his heart.

Varys said meaningfully: "The reason why so many people were poisoned, even bachelors and wizards in charge of glass candles, was because Casterly Rock City was holding a banquet that day to welcome the Frey family from Riverrun City (ps )!

The Dragon Queen refused to rescue Riverrun, and the news from Winterfell was too scary. Now a small group of ghouls appeared outside Riverrun, and the people in the castle couldn't sit still. Fleeing to Casterly Rock City, which was building a third line of defense, was also the answer. There is meaning.

What Riverrun brought to Casterly Rock was an army of [-] rivers and a large amount of emergency food. Can you not celebrate? "

"And that old bastard Walder Frey led Frey's enemies to Casterly Rock?" Tyrion's eyes were red, and he was on the verge of tears again.

Varys' eyes flickered, "Perhaps, it's not a disaster for the fish in the pond. Don't you know how many sins you Lannister have committed?"

"Have you guessed who the murderer is?" Tyrion said coldly.

Varys waved his hand, as if trying to drive away something frightening, "This is the end of the discussion, I'm just a messenger, and I don't want to get involved in your grievances.

More than 800 people kill as soon as they say it, the real killer, I'm afraid! "

 (ps: After the Scarlet Wedding, Walder Frey became the Duke of the River, but his fief is still in River City, and River Run belongs to Gina Lannister's (Tywin's sister) husband Emmon Frey ( Second son of Walder Frey) Earl.

  Well, strictly speaking, Tywin's seniority is still lower than Old Walder's generation.

  It was almost the same as Roose Bolton in the North, Roose Bolton became Duke of the North, but in the Dreadfort, and his son became Earl of Winterfell.

  When Aegon attacked Twist River City, old Walder knew he was invincible, so he took his direct descendants to Twist River City to join his second son in advance. )
