Casting spells

"What are you expressing?" Petyr Baelish asked, frowning.

Any careerist will not feel too comfortable when his deepest desire is exposed, not to mention that it involves his hidden little secret.

Zhang Cheng shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Isn't this obvious? As long as the three of us join hands, no one in the Seven Kingdoms will be our opponent. In this way, everyone can achieve their goals as soon as possible , isn't it?"

"What happens after the goal is achieved?" Varys asked a sharper question.

There is no doubt that whether it is Daenerys Targaryen or Littlefinger, they have set their sights on the Iron Throne.

This also means that unless someone is willing to give up his ambition, sooner or later he will become an enemy.

"Am I not clear enough? The premise of cooperation is that we have not achieved our goals, so we need to cooperate. When someone achieves their goals, then the partnership ends. I am a person who hates trouble, and I don't have too much time to waste, so I hope the rules of the game are as simple as possible, what do you think?" Zhang Cheng stared at the two most disruptive players in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, and put forward his own suggestion.

With the deepening of the research on mysterious energy, his free time is getting less and less, so he has no time to play tricks all day long.

To be honest, he didn't feel at all that he needed to specialize in tactics training, let alone make everything so complicated, the pursuit of endless knowledge and power was fundamental.

Varys and Petyr Baelish glanced at each other, a thoughtful look on their faces.

Obviously, this proposal was undoubtedly a great inspiration for the two of them.

You must know that as early as a long time ago, the two of them maintained a very wonderful tacit understanding, and they carried out their own plans without interfering with each other.It wasn't until Ed Stark came to King's Landing that this tacit understanding was broken and a secret confrontation began.

After hesitating for about two or three minutes, Petyr Baelish took the lead and tentatively said: "If I agree to cooperate, can the previous misunderstanding be wiped out?"

"Yes!" Zhang Cheng gave an affirmative answer without thinking.

Anyway, for him, the purpose of revenge has been achieved, there is no need to cling to it.

If you want to become a qualified player in the game of power, controlling your various negative emotions is the foundation of the foundation. If you can't even do this well, it is impossible to win the final victory.

"In that case, I'll join." Littlefinger picked up the wine glass and quickly made his choice.

"Count me in." Varys was not far behind, and picked up the wine glass.

"Very good! Now let's finish this drink and mourn for our enemies."

"cheers!"

"May Our Lady have mercy on our enemies!"

……

The three touched their cups lightly, then raised their heads and drank it all in one gulp.

I'm afraid no one will know how much impact the short-lived alliance formed between them will have on the entire Seven Kingdoms.

Putting down the empty wine glass, Zhang Cheng raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

moment!

A green shadow flashed beside the "Octo-Clawed Spider", and with a whoosh sound, it drilled into the magic sword hanging on its waist.

The dead eunuch only felt that the cold feeling around him disappeared suddenly, and the long-lost warmth returned.

"How do you feel, dear friend?" Zhang Cheng blinked knowingly.

"Excellent! Thank you for your generosity and kindness!" Varys bent down and bowed deeply.

"You're welcome, we are allies now. Please remember, don't do anything that violates the agreement, otherwise..."

"I understand! I understand!"

Before Zhang Cheng could finish speaking, Varys hurriedly made a promise. He had personally experienced the horror of undead, and he swore that he would never see that light green translucent figure again.

"Then now, let's discuss how we should work together to remove all stumbling blocks." As Zhang Cheng spoke, he glanced at the nobles at the banquet with mocking eyes, even Tywin Lan nistor.

Perhaps many people think that this old lion has reached the pinnacle of power, but Zhang Cheng knows that the other party is far from being as wise and powerful as he appears on the surface, and he will die in the pit dug by himself in a short time.

Chapter 141: Bright Water City

Two weeks after the Battle of the Blackwater, an army of over 2000 men crossed the Bitter Bridge and advanced along the Avenue of the Roses.

The leading knight held up a violet banner, which depicted a crossed pattern of a sword and a staff, which attracted many passers-by to stop and watch, trying to figure out which family it was.

After all, two thousand soldiers armed to the teeth cannot be afforded by any noble. Not only must they have a large territory, but they must also have enough financial resources to support them, otherwise the high daily maintenance costs alone will be enough to drag them down. financial.

Unfortunately, even the most well-informed merchants would not recognize such a strange family crest, let alone the young nobleman on horseback.

While everyone was pointing and discussing in low voices, an old man in armor suddenly ran over from behind the team and said in a low voice to the master of the army: "Sir, just now the Tyrell family in Highgarden sent Three white war horses, seventy carts of food supplies, five hundred barrels of ale, four hundred longbows and one hundred thousand fine arrows, what do you think should be done with these supplies?"

"How to deal with it, don't worry, I will personally handle the relationship with the Tyrell family, all you have to do is to control the army. You must know that we are not only dealing with the Florent family this time, There are also more than a dozen families, large and small, in the surrounding area. Perhaps they are far from my opponent individually, but once they are united, they will be quite troublesome." The young nobleman ordered with a blank expression.

Obviously, he was none other than Zhang Cheng who planned to go to Liangshui City to take over his fiefdom.

As for the old man in armor, it was Blanco, his loyal subordinate.

Since the alliance with Varys and Petyr Baelish, King's Landing has lost its appeal to him, and he doesn't want to participate in the upcoming battle between Tyrell and Lannister, so he chooses to leave The vortex of power first occupies a territory, and slowly waits for the old Tywin to be killed by the imp, and Cersei, who has lost control, detonates the cathedral.

During this period of time, on the one hand, he can calm down and continue his own research. If the situation permits, he can also meet with Daenerys to find out where the Targaryen family's ability to survive the ashes comes from.

If you still have free time, it would be good to go to the north of the Impassable Great Wall and search for the only remaining children of the forest.

In short, there are too many things worth exploring and studying in this world, and only an idiot would waste time in power struggles.

"Understood!"

The old mercenary nodded vigorously, immediately called a team to receive the supplies, and then urged the entire army to keep moving forward. No one noticed that there was a black spot hovering in the sky.

Passing through the beautiful Gaoting, Zhang Cheng quickly left the main road under the guidance of the guide, and followed the southwest path to Liangshui City.

Since there was no intention of concealing the march, Colin Florent, the acting lord of Brightshui City, soon got the news and called the family members in the city to discuss countermeasures.

After all, in the previous battle of the Blackwater River, the Florens family lost more than half of their army, and now there are less than [-] soldiers left in the city. Perhaps maintaining law and order and deterring bandits is barely enough, but it is definitely not enough to defend the huge castle and market. live.

All of a sudden, everyone in Brightwater City was in danger, and many timid guys even proposed to flee with their money and seek asylum from Stannis on Dragonstone Island.

However, before the quarrel between the left-behind members of the Florens family came to fruition, Zhang Cheng's vanguard, a cavalry force composed of [-] elite troops, arrived first, completely cutting off their thoughts of fleeing.

Anyone with a little brain knows that two legs can't run with four legs, let alone carry belongings.

Standing on the city wall, Colin Florent looked at the resting cavalry below, and asked the trusted knight behind him with a wry smile: "Hosman, do you think we have a chance to win if we choose to resist?"

Hossman, who was called, hesitated a little, and quickly shook his head: "Sorry, my lord, the other party has at least 2000 people, and there are also the support of the Tyrell family in Highgarden and the Iron Throne, I think the best situation It is through negotiations to strive to take away as much property as possible.”

"Oh, you're right. It seems that the Florens family will lose this piece of land they have lived in for generations." Colin sighed helplessly.

If possible, he really wanted to stick to the castle and use his own blood to prove the glory of the Florens family.
