The king on the Great Wall

Chapter 103 The Scheming Girl Margaery

"Scheming" doesn't sound like a good thing, and it will feel different immediately when you say "smart".Everyone will have the desire to desire something or to achieve a certain goal, but this desire does not have to be regarded as a scourge. This is the source of subjective initiative for people to do things and the driving force for social development. "Altruism" is indeed a noble and excellent character that is conducive to the continuation of the ethnic group, but pure altruistic creatures cannot exist-creatures that do not know how to be selfish and strive for resources for themselves have long been eliminated by nature.

People must have desires and goals, but they also have scheming, but there are also differences between superior and inferior.The difference is that you are not clear about what you want, why you want it, and whether you have the ability and strength to match it?

Cersei Lannister is the best negative example. She has scheming, but scheming is meaningless: she wants everything, but she doesn't know why she wants these things, let alone how to get them correctly. I don't know, as for the advantages and disadvantages of taking a certain action... This woman probably didn't think of this step at all.She is an idiot, but she is not a pure idiot... This kind of guy is the scariest, you can neither be an ally with her-she is best at turning enemies against allies; nor can you be an opponent with her-it doesn't follow the rules at all Those who play cards can often beat the master to death with random punches, even if they themselves are also in crisis.

Iger has always stayed away from guys in this chaotic camp, and by the way, even a gentleman like James dare not get too close.But the Margaery Tyrell in front of her is simply a perfect example of a "scheming girl"-her goal is clear: she wants to rely on her marriage to make the girl who has been on the wrong side in the War of Predators The Tyrell family, excluded from the power core of the Seven Kingdoms, was brought back to the poker table of the aristocratic game; and her intelligence and scheming were fully sufficient to achieve this goal.

This girl, if you are deceived by her "gentleness and politeness" and "kindness", then she can drain you completely, but as long as you clearly know that she is a person who is calculating, and then tell her clearly with actions: You're not a fool, and you won't be led by her nose.She will become harmless to humans and animals in an instant - the birth of Margaret, the daughter of the Duke of Highgarden, determines that she can realize her ambition without going the way of Littlefinger. As a high-ranking nobleman, she is already a vested interest. As a beneficiary, she will not want to make trouble or disrupt the situation for no reason.

In layman's terms: This is an ambitious, but good-looking power game player. As long as she is not a deadly enemy, she is willing to share the cake with others. As long as you have a certain strength and capital, you can safely cooperate with her and have a good time with each other. You can use each other as much as possible without worrying that she will suddenly turn her head and bite you.

"Master Iger, it is said that this story is based on you. Is it true that you have experienced all the adventure stories in this story?" the girl asked softly, her voice was soft and gentle, quite nice.

"That's right, but well, it must have undergone some artistic processing." Curious stars flickered in Margaery's eyes, and she looked like a full-fledged adventure lover. This acting skill was so amazing that Iger felt his scalp tingling, Organize the sentences carefully, not daring to say too much: "It is basically a real experience, but it magnifies the danger I encountered a lot... If I really experienced that level of danger and barely survived, I am sure I will squat at home and not go anywhere, so naturally it is impossible to come to Westeros again."

"It makes sense." The girl let out a chuckle like a silver bell, with an innocent expression on her face: "That... Iger, can I call you Iger? The 'Cana' you came from is really in the setting sun sea Is it heading west, where is it, and how many miles will it travel?"

What is this for? Could it be that the Tyrells have even decided to do business with Cai Na?

Iger was puzzled and didn't dare to be careless at all: "I'm just a guest on the ship on this round-the-world voyage, and I don't have much knowledge of navigation at all, let alone the specific direction. I don't even know whether the ship keeps sailing due east along the way I can’t be sure about the distance. I only remember that the ship sailed on the sea for more than a month. Considering that the ocean-going ship I’m on is much more advanced than the best ships in Westeros, and the voyage is mostly with the wind... I can only dare Say, Caina should be somewhere west of the Sunset Sea, about two or three thousand leagues away from Westeros."

"It's so far away, it's a pity, I still want to see that magical country."

"Unfortunately, I'm afraid I can only disappoint Miss Margery." As long as you report the distance and location that the ships in Westeros can't sail, isn't it up to you to decide the rest?Iger secretly smiled, but with a sad expression on his face: "Actually, even if some kind-hearted adult gives me a boat full of sailors immediately, I can't figure out where my home is, let alone bring guests I went back... Sigh, I don’t know when will I be able to see my parents and relatives at home again?”

"Don't be sad, since you have come to Westeros, it means that this land is destined for you. And with Mr. Iger's experience and ability, I believe you can succeed wherever you go."

……

The girl comforted the man with a concerned face, and the man sincerely expressed his gratitude.You are the daughter of a duke, but one adult calls a night watchman who has no title at all and is impossible to get a title. This tm is really disgusting. Iger has a hunch: playing against this little rose in front of him can greatly improve himself The thickness of the skin, the speed of reaction and the resistance to poison, but the feeling of getting goosebumps is really uncomfortable.

Then, the two walked and chatted in the barracks, and Margaret asked Iger a lot of information related to the adventure stories in the book. The man who had already prepared the draft did not panic at all. Countless adventures that have never been experienced at all are described so seamlessly that no layman can even try to tell the truth from the fake.

Earl Bukewell followed the two young men the whole time, listening to their conversation without saying a word—as an earl and lord, he was like a foil... If it wasn't for Margaret's higher status, Iger I'm getting a little flustered.

……

"By the way, Mr. Iger, I heard that not only the stories in this book are based on you, but the book itself is also produced by the factory you opened." After a long circle, the topic finally returned to reality: "I see The material of this book does not seem to be parchment, and the content does not seem to be copied by hand, how did this happen?"

Here we go, after going around for a long time, we finally got to the point!

If a man who doesn't know the details of the other party is pestered by such a young, beautiful and extraordinary aristocratic girl to flatter him without a trace, and then forced to brag for a long time, I'm afraid he won't be able to say everything he knows. .Fortunately, Iger waited for the other party to reveal his true intentions for a long time. When the girl said this, he was relieved.

It turned out that they were here for papermaking and printing. Now that they know the purpose of the other party, it will be much easier to handle.

"Well, it is true that the book is produced by a factory under the Night Watchman Industry...but I only manage the funds, direct the general direction, and provide supplies and food for the Night Watchman after earning money--as for the specific details, it is all done by the following technology The staff is in charge, if you ask me how I did it, I really can’t tell.” Iger shook his head apologetically, “However, it just so happens that the Night Watchman industry is going to expand and needs capital investment. If Miss Margery is interested, When I get back to King’s Landing, I can personally show you around.”

Chapter 104 - Fighting a Blind Date

The routine Iger failed, and all the acting and talking were in vain, but Margaery was still able to maintain self-restraint instead of becoming angry. In this alone, this girl is far superior to Cersei.

The cliché failed, so she didn't change her face, and continued to chat with Iger in a soft-spoken manner, and tried again, and found that Iger didn't like it, so she decisively decided to put this matter aside for now-compared with making money , she came north with the army on this trip, but she has more important tasks to complete.

"Since Mr. Iger said so, then after this battle is over, I will go to King's Landing to visit the Office of the Night Watchman, and take a look at the industry you mentioned by the way." The girl put away the mask of admiration, and her expression returned to normal, indifferently A hint of arrogance appeared for a while, but unfortunately this true face was only fleeting, and was replaced by another mask: "Ah... the wounded who attacked the city today were brought down. I have some medical skills, so I went to visit and take care of it. My two adults , Excuse me first."

***

Heh, I'm going to perform the drama of "Love soldiers like sons" again.Seeing Margery's charming figure turning away, Iger felt amused in his heart, but he didn't give birth to disdain or contempt — he became a gentleman if he did not stop.No matter what purpose and appeal a person has, if he can insist on conducting himself in the world in a noble way, then he is a good person.

To evaluate such a noble girl should be based on what she has done, not what she wants.Margaery is good at putting on a show, but this is just the basic skill that a qualified politician should have... If she can keep putting on a show for a lifetime, maybe she will really be a qualified mother of a nation.It's a pity that she was born more than ten years late, so she couldn't catch up with Robert.

……

"This little elf is a master who eats people and doesn't spit out bones. I was worried that you would be confused by her just now, and I couldn't help but want to remind you a few times. But it seems that I was worrying too much—Master Iger is worthy of mentioning How could the partner chosen by Leon Lannister fall for such a low-level beauty trap?" The Tyrell family is strong and well-off, but they are not the lords of the Earl of Buckwell after all, so you don't have to be polite to judge them. , "There are not many in this barracks who can make this chick feel weak. Robert counts as one, and you count as another."

"My lord, to be honest, it's really difficult to refuse the request of such a beauty." Iger smiled, not to let her down, he was at best holding the line of defense.If he didn't know everything about this girl, based on his life experience and the city, maybe... no, he would definitely be deceived.

"Have you heard the words that have been spread around the barracks these two days?" Earl Buckwell nodded. Originally, he only deliberately approached the other party because of his status as a night watchman officer. It was quite interesting, and the conversation that had been suffocated all the way suddenly surged: "Everyone says that Margaery Tyrell looks a lot like the Prime Minister's deceased sister, Lyanna Stark."

"Oh?" Iger became interested: "Is it really like it, or..."

"Guess what?"

"So that's how it is." Iger's eyes flashed, and now he can already hear the subtext in his mouth. Who is Lyanna Stark? How could ordinary soldiers in this barracks have seen her?Most of these rumors were spread by the Tyrell family. Margaery has no hope of being queen for the time being, and she even doesn't shy away from being Robert's mistress?For the Tyrell family, this girl is willing to sacrifice everything. It is really a song of loyalty to the family, and the family language of the Tully family should be given to her: "Then——His Majesty the King has seen Miss Margaery?"

"Yes, I just praised her a few words about her beauty, but there is no more to say. The girl's a lot of publicity and dressing up are useless. She is indeed a beauty, but King Robert has never seen any woman? Your Majesty is not a fool." ——Women of the Tyrell family can't recognize people if they can't put on trousers." The old earl squeezed his beard with a smile: "Besides, I'm afraid...even King Robert himself has forgotten about Leo. What does Anna Stark look like, don't mention "it is said to look like", even if she is exactly the same, she probably won't be moved."

Iger nodded in agreement and sighed: After more than ten years, who can still remember the good old friend?For Robert, who likes the new and dislikes the old, what he still loves now is not the Lyanna Stark who "runs the wolf in his bones and is full of wild beauty"; It's just that I didn't get to sleep with my "fiancée.

"I am only allowed to be the wife of everyone in the world, and I am not allowed to be my wife." In this regard, Robert is a super domineering scumbag. He has waited patiently for a long time and failed to get his fiancée to elope with someone. The psychological shadow of forgetting, this has nothing to do with what Lianna looks like, but the humiliation of a man's dignity - no matter how many beauties are returned to him, this wound will not be healed.

……

"Look around, what do you see?"

"A military camp?" The topic changed a little quickly, and Iger frowned. Although he knew the answer was not that simple, but this time he really couldn't hear the deep meaning: "Please enlighten me, my lord."

"It's not enough to teach you, it's all just talking about the parents." The old man laughed: "What ordinary people see is a military camp, but what I saw was the largest blind date meeting for wealthy families in the history of the Seven Kingdoms. You don't have a noble status." People are coming to you, how many people are jumping up and down in this camp, desperately trying to sell themselves or their children!"

"Marriage... After all, this is the best way to form an alliance and be superior." Iger suddenly realized that he was promoting the Night Watchman industry in the coalition barracks, and those nobles were negotiating marriages. Everyone was busy. As for this peace Whether the rebellion can be won... Maybe only Robert cares: "Miss Margery counts as one... what else?"

"Well, let's not talk about some girls who want to seduce Robert, let's talk about those who are seriously planning to marry, the famous Lord Frey, you have heard of it."

"Late Lord Frey, who doesn't know." Iger smiled knowingly. In the common language of Westeros, the word "late" has meanings such as "dead" and "deceased" when it is placed before a person's name. Fortunately, it was his lord, Duke Tully, who gave the old weasel this nickname. He didn't dare to vent his anger. If he had to change someone else, Walder Frey would have sunk him into the Green Fork River to feed the fish.

"This nickname is indeed well-known in the world, but remember not to mention it in front of the Freys." Earl Buckwell kindly reminded Iger, "In addition to sending two thousand troops to help out this time, the Freys also Here comes a very juicy girl named Luo... what Li is here."

"Roslin Frey?"

"Yes, you know him?" The old earl was a little surprised, but he didn't think too much about it: "That girl, compared to her brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces, is nothing like a member of the Frey family. Her brother brought her to visit. There are fewer people, probably because they want to marry her to Edmure Tully, and they are aiming at Robb Stark and the Lannister family... Sigh, you said that he is a nouveau riche and wants to be a Is it easy to come from a more orthodox background, whether you are high or low, you hit a wall everywhere, and your nose is full of dust, I feel sad when I see it."

Roslin Foyle, can be regarded as one of the few women in the TV series who can make Iger feel amazing, because she was born a weasel... No, the Foyle family is really out of place among the bunch of crooked relatives. As for some people suspecting that she is the product of an affair, I don't know if this girl can still make people's eyes shine in this world?

Iger moved the idea of ​​meeting this beauty, but after thinking about it, is there any relationship between her beauty and ugliness?Old Frey has lived such an old age, with only such a beautiful daughter, but he tried his best to rely on her to find a better in-law. He didn't even think about ordinary earls. A night watchman ran over to see how his daughter was growing up. What, I'm afraid I've lost my mind?

"After talking about this, I have to mention the leader of the Army of the Riverlands, Edmure Tully. He is not young, and he is not married yet. Why? Isn't it because his father... overthrew the Targaryen Lord Horst of the dynasty has tasted the sweetness of the marriage. Both daughters are married well, and the son will not sell at a low price. The old Lord Tully disagreed with the purchase of Riverrun, and insisted that his son marry the daughter of some duke... but he couldn't find a suitable one. No, a nobleman who is almost thirty and has no marriage and no children. , Looking at the whole of Westeros, it’s not rare.”

As the founder of the four major alliances of the Lu, Wolf, Osprey, and one of the founding heroes of the Baratheon Dynasty, it is quite normal for Horst Tully to want his son to marry a woman of the right family. The daughter of a duke... Does Westeros have a suitable partner right now?

In the north, Sansa and Arya of the Stark family are Edmure's nieces, so naturally they cannot be considered; in the east, Duke Arryn also married a woman from the Tully family. In the west, although the Iron Islands are legally one of the nine major administrative regions, everyone does not recognize the Greyjoy family as dukes at all. As for the Lannister family... the only Cersei who is not much different in age is early and married Robert.

It seems that only the south can be considered: the Baratheon family has no other women of sufficient weight except the princess Myrcella, and it is absolutely impossible for Cersei to marry her precious daughter to an uncle; Arianne Martell of Dorne It's a good candidate, but it's a pity that he has already secretly married Viserys Targaryen, who has fled overseas, and is waiting for the Long family to restore Xianyu to turn around; the rest seems to be Margaery Tilly You alone - can satisfy Duke Tully's request!

"Little Rose is the right candidate." Iger quickly cleared his mind: "Unfortunately..."

It's a pity that Tyrell's ambition is to squeeze into the core of power, and Tully... Although he is also a duke, his influence is a bit small after all.

To put it bluntly, people look down on the Tully family.

-

Chapter 105 "Tactical Stalemate"

Marriage with the Tully family can indeed increase the voice of the Tyrell family in the Seven Kingdoms, and even stabilize the latter's rule in the Reach... But these things, in peaceful times... are at best icing on the cake. Even Iger, a layman in aristocratic games, thinks it's not worthwhile to use up the only daughter's marriage opportunity.

When Margaery wanted to be the queen, if she failed to seduce the king, she would definitely focus on the prince... Poor Edmure, I don't know when the marriage issue will be resolved.

Wait, he is the future supreme lord of the Hejian land, even if he doesn't have a wife, how can he lose friends in sex and lovers, and it's his turn to be a night watchman to worry about the Tully family's marriage?

Thinking of the night watchman, Iger suddenly burst into anger for no reason: his brothers in black were fighting with countless savages and human natural enemies in the north of the northern border, but the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms were fighting in blood. The military barracks in front of the door held a blind date meeting, and while watching waves of soldiers die in the first danger of Westeros, they wantonly carried out shameful distribution of benefits?

What absurdity!This evil feudal society!

……

The anger for no reason came and went quickly, and even Iger himself was confused by the sudden strong emotions and thoughts. Could it be that he was pretending to be a loyal night watchman all day long, pretending to be Walked in by yourself?

Spit to himself, he stopped thinking about it: "To sum it up, everyone wants to climb high, but in the end no one can climb... This relationship is really messy."

The old earl didn't notice the short-lived anomaly that Iger had just appeared. He looked at the tent forest in the distance and sighed: "Yeah, it's really chaotic, but it's not that everyone wants to climb high. What I mentioned just now is that identity, status and strength are all important." It is normal for the great nobles above my Antler Castle to have some thoughts. But the Seven Kingdoms, after all, are composed of countless down-to-earth earls, city lords and property knights... As far as I know, at least There are already two marriages, and they were settled in this barracks before the first battle today."

"Congratulations to these four families." For some reason, Iger became less interested for a while, and didn't want to ask who these four families were. Now, what is the king's plan next? Apart from eradicating the rebel factions outside the Vale of Arryn, the Blood Gate can't just sit and wait?"

……

Looking at other people's families happily talking about alliances and relatives, while his son is dealing with savages at the Great Wall of Desperation, Earl Buckwell actually doesn't want to continue this discussion, and just followed Iger's question to change the topic: " Of course we can’t wait, after all, after the Blood Gate, it’s not an isolated city, but the Vale of Arryn with hundreds of thousands of people, it will take more time, the rebel army in the valley will be fine for 100 years, it’s us who are short of time—want to reach Eagle If the food in Nest City runs out and we are forced to surrender, we still haven't broken through the Bloody Gate, and we haven't been able to save the people we need to save, so we've lost the battle."

Earl Buckwell made a clear and well-founded analysis, and continued: "The door is blocked... This is really unexpected. The bloody door is such a narrow section. If you want to rely on it normally The ladder climbed up the city wall to capture it. I don’t know how many casualties it will take. In order to solve this dangerous situation, everyone at the battle meeting came up with all kinds of tricks. Some people said that they sent people into the gatehouse hole to dig through the sealing wall stone. They piled up, and some said that they built a slope as high as a closed building in front of the blood gate, and then the infantry rushed up directly... There is also outrageous ones, who actually suggested digging through the cliff next to the blood gate and entering the Vale of Arryn, you are the night watchman , You should be good at defending the city, tell me, are these methods easy to use?"

Iger has never defended the city at all, but this does not prevent him from judging that these methods are not feasible: "When entering the stone pile dug to seal the gate, the defenders only need to throw a few oil barrels at the gate, and they can easily kill people. Suffocated inside, but piling up slopes and digging tunnels... The adults said that we are the ones who are short on time, how can these methods be in time?"

"That's right, these are the problems." The old earl shook his head: "Although these methods are not easy to use, they are after all the proposals proposed at the combat meeting... We can chat casually in private, don't talk nonsense, understand. "

"Military secrets, I understand."

……

While chatting casually, the two returned to the station of Wang Lingjun and the Antlers Fort army together.Judging from the flow of a large number of soldiers returning to their respective camps from the front of the battle, it is estimated that the command has decided not to attack the city today. After saying goodbye to each other, the two returned to their own tents.

***

On the second day after the initial siege failed, more than [-] of the [-] troops stationed outside the Blood Gate rushed to various parts of the valley to assist in the removal of many castles exposed outside the Vale of Arryn.The remaining army was also divided into six batches according to the dukes they belonged to, and they took turns to undertake offensive and defensive tasks.

The reason for this arrangement is easy to understand: although the rebels blocked the gates, it made it more difficult to attack, but at the same time cut off the possibility of sneak attacks and harassment. It is a great waste, and it may cause overall fatigue after a long time. Instead of this, it is better to take turns.

Whichever army's turn is on duty, this army is not only responsible for the defense of the camp, but also has to go to the gate of blood to call for formation and attack symbolically... It seems that they want to drag down the rebels through wheel battles, but There are also thousands of rebels in the valley, and what should I do if they also take turns to rest?

Then there is only one possibility left: Robert hopes to force the rebels to surrender by capturing the remaining Vale castles outside the Vale of Arryn.

After two more attempts to ascend the city, with hundreds of casualties and no results, the counter-insurgency war entered a tactical stalemate, and both the attacker and the defender fell into an embarrassing situation. Through "justice and justice" combined with the natural danger of the blood gate, the crazy woman Lysa was driven out of the valley and regained her autonomy. I never thought that Robert would be so violent that he would summon the armies of the six nations to deal with his former allies and supporters without any negotiation. ;And Robert... is also self-confident in his military ability, confident that he can easily win the bloody family, so he called the people of the Six Kingdoms to watch the show with great fanfare. He never thought that the "rebels" in the valley would just reach this level.

The two sides stared at each other for a few days, and the rebels in the valley took the lead in making concessions and proposed peace talks—as long as Lysa Tully could leave the valley, Jon Royce, the leader of the Alliance of the Righteous, would be willing. Admitting rebellion, he gave up the position of head of the family to his son and put on black clothes, on condition that Robert renounces the responsibility of the other families.

This is already a very sincere condition, but it is a pity that Robert still mercilessly rejected this condition, insisting that the rebels surrender first, and discuss all other conditions after the surrender.

Iger can understand why Robert is so persistent. Even in modern society, some countries will still adopt a similar tough policy-not to conduct any negotiations with terrorists.The reason is very simple, if anyone who rebels can negotiate terms with the king, then the country will never have peace in the future.

In the coalition base camp in front of the Blood Gate, Iger didn't know whether the siege of the rest of the valley was going smoothly.Taking advantage of the flat stage of the stalemate between the two armies, he just made a fortune in silence - casting a wide net, collecting more fish, and picking the best ones: visiting the military camps of various feudal countries, and selling the night watchman industry to every potential customer.

To be honest, in this era of generally backward concepts, it is really difficult to persuade people to carry out such advanced financial behaviors as "investment".But in any case, it is much more efficient and easier to draw money from the wealthy and powerful aristocratic class than to raise funds from the common people who are at the bottom of exploitation.

After countless encounters and practice, his Amway skills have become more and more proficient. Coupled with the physical objects in the hands of book sellers in the military camp and the hot sales as evidence, he is willing to receive him without even realizing it... He sat in the tent for a while, and agreed to pass by King's Landing to visit the factory after the negotiation, and the number of nobles had already unknowingly increased.

Chapter 106 Petyr Baelish

Petyr Baelish stood on the deck, watching the ship's direction indifferently.The fog on the sea gradually receded, and the bow of the Juneflower cut through the gray-green water and moved forward steadily... As a row of rocky ridges with gaps rose from the sea, the huge figure of the Titan came into view.

This human-shaped fortress has stood here for hundreds of years. His stone legs stepped on both sides of the gap in the ridge, each stepping on a huge rock, which is the same texture as the black granite reef where it stands, and may even be carved from the rock itself. ; around his waist was a battle skirt of green bronze, and he had a breastplate of bronze, and a half-helm of bronze crowned with a crown, and his hair was green twine, and his eyes were two caves in which a great fire burned; One hand rests on the left ridge, with bronze fingers pinching a huge rock; the other reaches skyward, clutching the hilt of a broken sword.

The Titan of Braavos, probably the largest human statue in the world, is a majestic sight in its own right, even without considering its military function.But Petyr didn't look much, this is not the first time he has come to Braavos, in fact, his great-grandfather was a hired swordsman from Braavos, but later the son of the hired swordsman ——that is, Petyr's grandfather, who swore allegiance to the Bray family to become a knight, and Westeros has an additional Baelish family.

In order to commemorate the place where my great-grandfather was born, grew up, and learned swordsmanship, my grandfather chose the head of the Titan as the family crest when he became a knight... It's ironic, why can't he choose the Titan as the family crest, but why can't his offspring be born like the Titan? stalwart?If I wasn't so short and thin, how could I have been bullied since I was a child and even called "Little Finger"?

"Littlefinger", hehe, Caitlin was the first to call herself that. Only Seven Gods knew how much she liked being called that by her. It was such a beautiful and warm time, but it's a pity...

Petyr shook his head and shook the memories of the past out of his head. He knew very well that no matter how tall and stalwart he was, the moment he decided to compete with Brandon Stark for a woman, he was doomed to fail. It had nothing to do with stature and martial skills , but determined by class.Humans cannot choose their own birth.

He never thinks about meaningless things. Instead of being sentimental, what he is thinking day and night is trying to figure out who is dealing with him secretly.

If the "Sir Hugh's last words" on that piece of paper was a heavy hammer that shattered his ambitions and plans, then the person holding the hammer was the one who really terrified Petyr—he didn't show any trace from the beginning to the end, but At the most critical moment, he hit his Achilles' heel in the deadliest way, which not only ruined him, but also disintegrated all the back-up arrangements!

……

Yes, Jon Arryn killed himself, but that wasn't the original plan.I originally planned to lure Cersei to kill Jon Arryn by poisoning, but this stupid woman did not wait until the Duke of Arryn prepared a showdown with Robert, captured her and her brother and lover, and at the same time mobilized the Six Kingdoms The Lannisters' preparations for all-out war didn't get things right.That's why he forced himself to use Lysa's hole card in advance to carry this disaster for her.

One step later, the Lannister family will be defeated by the old man of the Ayrin family, and they will not be able to turn over for decades, and Westeros will also experience peace in the next few decades after a short war .It's a pity that the person next to the pillow is thinking about sleeping and flying with other men day and night, but he doesn't realize it... Just for this, Jon Arryn's death is not wronged at all.

……

That's right, Hugh also killed himself. The purpose was to put more smoke bombs on Ed Stark's investigation, and then lead the disaster back to the Lannister family.The operation is not complicated: first, persuade Robert to reward him with a titular knighthood for the sake of "serving the old prime minister for many years" in Hugh; "wealth", so that he has the financial resources and equipment to participate in the tournament; then, he whispered a few words in Cersei's ear, making the woman think that Hugh might know about her special relationship with James...

In the end, under Cersei's "request", the result of the opponent's draw in the tournament was slightly manipulated, and the matter was settled.

Everything was so easy, Cersei, that stupid woman, obediently took the bait at the slightest provocation, and actually sent a guy like Gregor with a Lannister label on his forehead to come out and end up with that young man... Now I don't even need to waste my tongue No, Eddard Stark, the brainless Yankee himself, suspected Lannister.

There were some small twists and turns in the plan, but generally it went smoothly. As long as there is a little more inducement, the conflict between lions and wolves can be triggered at any moment. When the time comes, we will play by ear, first kill Robert, the confused king, and let the Baratheon family Brothers are fighting each other, and the six countries can't be twisted into a single rope... Then they will help whoever wins, and their huge plan of taking advantage of the chaos will be officially launched soon!

But the "Sir Hugh's Will" that popped up suddenly destroyed everything. Those notes were definitely not written by Hugh. Discussions about important matters are also carried out quietly through secret passages in the middle of the night, hiding from everyone, and it is impossible for anyone to find out.

Who is it?
