Casting spells

Facing the most outstanding conspirators in the entire Westeros continent, he did not dare to take it lightly.

"Is it really just for the wedding?" Baelish raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a playful smile.

Zhang Cheng spread his hands innocently: "What else can it be except a wedding?"

"Hehe, I'm sorry, maybe I'm overthinking. But to be on the safe side, please allow me to ask again, we're still friends, right?" Littlefinger took two steps forward and tentatively asked in a low voice.

"Dear Earl, whether we are friends or not has never depended on me, but on you. If I'm not mistaken, you seem to be secretly collecting everything about the children of the forest behind my back. This is not a friend." What should be done." Zhang Cheng pushed back without showing any weakness.

He understands that when dealing with this insidious and cunning guy in front of him, it is definitely the worst policy to blindly pretend to be stupid, and sometimes it is the smartest choice to show a little dissatisfaction.

The expression on Baelish's face froze instantly, and it took half a minute before he managed to force a smile: "Where did you hear the news?"

"Please don't care about these details, I naturally have my method. The key question is, shouldn't you share it with my friend? I promise, I will never disrupt your plan at this critical moment." Zhang Cheng made a meaningful request.

"No problem, I will have the materials delivered to your home later. After all... we are friends..."

After saying this, Baelish suppressed the anger in his heart and nodded, then quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Looking at his slightly embarrassed figure, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smiled and muttered to himself: "Keep working hard, my friend, I hope that when we meet next time, I can get more information about the Son of the Forest from you."

After a short episode, Zhang Cheng quickly walked through the corridor and came to the queen's bedroom.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Cersei sitting alone on the balcony, looking down at the entire city of King's Landing. There was also a bottle of valuable Dornish red wine on the table, and she was drinking it by herself.

Maybe it's the sound of footsteps, or maybe it's a woman's naturally keen sixth sense.

In short, Cersei quickly noticed that someone had entered the room, put down the empty glass in her hand, and ordered without looking back: "Fill me up!"

Regarding this tentative little trick, Zhang Cheng smiled and shook his head indifferently, stepped forward, filled the empty cup directly, then raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, then put the cup back on the table, He said in a slightly proud tone: "Excuse me, Your Majesty, I am a knight who charges into battle, not a servant who pours wine for you."

"Oh?"

Cersei obviously didn't expect that someone would dare to make such a bold move, and immediately turned her head to look at Zhang Cheng.

For about a minute or two, she suddenly burst into laughter without warning, and joked while laughing: "Hahahaha! What a charging knight! Then what is the purpose of you knight coming to me today?"

"It's very simple! I said something to your brother James some time ago, and now I want to know what Duke Tywin means. You must know that chaos and war are coming, and I hope to be prepared before they come." After finishing speaking, Zhang Cheng sat on another chair and quietly waited for a reply.

"Hmph! You are very courageous! More courageous than anyone I have ever seen! But the question is, what can you offer and what do you want. The Lannister family will not casually accept a stranger as an ally, Especially ambitious strangers."

Perhaps because she knew that Robert was going to die soon, Cersei didn't hide anything when she spoke, and made everything clear...

Chapter 1 Fifteen

"Your Majesty, do you misunderstand something, or do you think I am begging for alms?" Zhang Cheng asked with a half-smile.

As a person who knows the general development of the plot, he will not be bluffed by the opponent's mere words.

It is true that the strength of the Lannister family is one of the few in the Seven Kingdoms, and the old Tywin is notoriously difficult to deal with, but this does not mean that their victory came easily.

On the contrary, from the death of King Robert to the end of the War of the Five Kings, Lannister was actually at a very dangerous disadvantage most of the time.

Whether it's Ed Stark who is about to be killed, or Renly, Stannis, or "Young Wolf Lord" Robb Stark, they all have the opportunity to control King's Landing City and beat Lannister to death. into the abyss of failure.

Among them, the Battle of the Blackwater River was the turning point, and the city of King's Landing was completely under attack from both sides. If Stannis hadn't killed his younger brother Renly, which directly led to the defection of the Tyrell family, I am afraid it would have been another result. .

Undoubtedly, Zhang Cheng has enough ability to change the direction of the original plot, but in order to ensure his greatest advantage - the foresight of the future, he chose to follow the plot, but this does not mean that he will give Lannister unlimited support. Compromise, especially the short-sighted, vengeful woman in front of her.

Cersei folded her hands on her chest, and there was a hint of playfulness in her green eyes, and then she asked in a half-joking tone: "Isn't it? Don't forget, you are just a little nobleman who has lost his territory. There is no army, and there is no prominent family behind you. The only thing worthy of praise is your martial arts far beyond ordinary people. In my opinion, you simply cannot provide what the Lannister family needs."

"Hahahaha! My dear Queen, do you really think so?" Zhang Cheng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

It never occurred to him that his image in the other party's mind was actually just a thug, just like "Magic Mountain" Gregor Clegane.

"Why, could I be wrong?" Cersei frowned subconsciously.

Zhang Cheng did not directly answer the other party's question, but stood up and looked at the sea in the distance. After a full minute, he turned around and said slowly: "It seems that I made a mistake today, that is, I overestimated your Vision, and judgment of the future situation.

Although you always feel that you are very talented in politics, you are actually just a poor imitation of Duke Tywin, and you don't realize how dangerous the current situation is.

Maybe you don't know it yet, but Earl Baelish has secretly won the trust of the Prime Minister, and he can choose his own camp at any time, and even hinted many times that the princes and princesses are not the blood of the king, but you and James. result of adultery.

Think about it, once he chooses to join forces with the Stark family to control King's Landing, what will happen to you when His Majesty the King dies in an accident?

What about your children?

Don't think that you are the only smart person in this world. Many people have already noticed your little tricks. The reason why they didn't expose it was not because they didn't know it, but because they thought it was profitable.

Someone once said that chaos is the ladder, the ladder to power.

Now what is stupidity if you've created a mess with your own hands and haven't prepared for it?

Sorry, my words may be a bit harsh, but please convey these words to your father intact, I think the wise Duke Tywin should understand what I mean.

In the end, I will only give you ten days. If there is no clear answer after ten days, then I will look for another ally. "

After saying these words, Zhang Cheng ignored the Queen's uncertain expression, turned and left the Red Castle.

He now finally understands why Cersei is so easily hated by others. Viciousness and unscrupulousness are one aspect, and self-righteousness is the most important.

Fortunately, old Tywin is not dead yet, and it is not the woman's turn to take power.

Just as Zhang Cheng was walking along the narrow corridor of the castle, while lowering his head and wondering if he should activate the backup plan, he suddenly found a black shadow following him behind him.

He turned a corner calmly, stretched out his arms with lightning speed, and strangled the opponent's neck tightly.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!"

But unfortunately, no matter how much he struggled with his mouth blocked, it was useless.

"His Royal Highness? What are you doing?"

After seeing the stalker's face clearly, Zhang Cheng showed a look of surprise on his face, and then let go of his arms.

"Cough, cough, cough...Damn it! You almost killed me!" Joffrey coughed violently, holding his throat, his eyes full of awe and fear.

Zhang Cheng spread his hands pretending to be innocent: "I'm really sorry, after all, who would have thought that a noble prince would hide like a thief?"

Uncommonly, Joffrey didn't try to refute. After taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down, he immediately raised his head and asked, "I want to know, what exactly did you do to me? Why can't the maesters detect anything unusual?"

"Hehe, it seems that you are still determined. I can tell you responsibly that no one in this world can break the spell I cast on you, so please don't waste your efforts." Zhang Cheng explained with a smile.

"Then...then can you teach me?" Joffrey tentatively asked.

Ever since he saw the unbelievable illusion, like most teenagers, he was deeply fascinated, and then began to try to use various methods to obtain this power.

"Oh? Teach you? Why? What's in it for me?" Zhang Cheng rubbed his chin with great interest.
