"Angai, would you like to be a member of House Clegane, Lord Gregor's Guards need a warrior of your calibre. Sweet-mouthed Raff asked with a smile.

"Very glad!" said Angai, who was also an amiable teenager when he told the lie, as if it were true, "Knight, you must know that I am now penniless, and I am shameless to go home without breaking through the roll call...... Miss, could you please put down the crossbow arrows first......" Julie lowered the crossbow arrows, which made Ange secretly relieved, "I would be happy to be a guard by Lord Gregor, and it would be even better if I could become a knight like Ser Raff in the future!"

"Get in the car, a sharpshooter like you, as long as you swear allegiance to Lord Moshan, and your performance is good in the future, Lord Moshan will definitely give you the title of knight!"

Angai's lips were bitter, so he had to remove the longbow from his back and get into the carriage.

Even the city's garrison can't save him here, and capable commoners are recruited by the nobles as guards or in other positions, and the Seven Kingdoms are universal, just like crossing the Magic Mountain to find a job during the university vacation.

The Magic Mountain sent his men to pick them up in a carriage and gave Angai the job he needed.

The only difference is that the king, the prime minister, and the great nobles invite Angay, all of whom are kind words of invitation, and the magic mountain adds Julie's short crossbow and Bolliver's nail-like gaze in addition to the kind words.

Given that the sincerity of the Magic Mountain's invitation was higher than that of the king and the prime minister, and that he was more talent-seeking than Duke Lanli and the Knight of the Hundred Flowers, An Gai made a very wise choice.

Recruiting talents also needs to pay attention to ways and means, like Prime Minister Ed, who sent a guard captain to ask for an innocent invitation, and moved it with emotion and reason, obviously the kind of 'civilized people are reasonable' recruitment method is far behind the simple and rude of the magic mountain.

Night. Prime Minister's Tower. Den.

Prime Minister Ed's thoughts were interrupted by a soft knock on the door.

"Come in!"

The guard Harwin entered: "My lord, someone wants to see you, but he won't give his name. ”

"Oh!" Ned nodded patiently as he was in a bad mood.

The obese Harwyn seems to be fatter, and damn it, doesn't he know how to train harder, but the warm climate of the south does whet the appetite.

The visitor was stout, wearing mud-stained tattered boots, a heavy brown robe made of very coarse materials, his face obscured by a hooded cloak, and his hands hidden in overlapping sleeves.

"Who are you?" Ned asked.

"I'm your friend. The masked man said in an eerily low tone, "Master Stark, we need to talk alone." ”

Ned assessed the danger, and he could see that although the other party was tall, he was not wearing a weapon, if anything, it was also a personal weapon such as a dagger and a short knife: "Harwin, you stand down first." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Harwyn stepped back and closed the door, and he stood outside the door, and he could enter the room immediately as soon as Lord Eddard in the room shouted. The door closes, and the visitor lifts his cloak.

"Lord Varys?" Ned was surprised, "how did you get in through my guards outside the tower, and how did you get through the guards of the stairs, and if you don't give your name, they won't let you in." ”

"Lord Stark," Varys politely sat down, "There are secret passages in the Red Keep that only ghosts and spiders know about. Varys smiled apologetically, "I won't bother you for long, my lord, but there are some things you need to know. You are the Prime Minister, but the King is a stupid donkey. ”

"You're dressed like this, I'm afraid I won't recognize you under your nose. Ed said incredulously. He had never seen a eunuch wear clothes of any other material than silk, velvet, and the finest brocade. The eunuch has always been dressed in the scent of purple dings, but the person in front of him is covered in sweat.

"I will take the words of my lord as a compliment, this matter is confidential, and if it is recognized, I will die. ”

"So, what did the adults come to me for?" Ed's tone sharpened.

"Prime Minister, I'm here to find an ally! I didn't know if you were my ally before the tournament. After the tournament, I learned that you were my only ally. ”

"Don't sell it, sir. Ed said coldly.

"Well, northerners always lack a little patience, as if they are born with a lack of humor. Our king, Lord Eddard, is he's a stupid donkey, isn't he? He's a stupid donkey, and someone is in danger of his life without knowing it, and he's going to be doomed soon, unless we work together to save his life. ”

Ed's heart was full of anger: "Lord Varys, you are the king's intelligence minister, since you know that someone has threatened the king's life, why don't you take action?

"Prime Minister, what you said is not right, my subordinates are spies who inquire about the news, not samurai who wield swords and swords. As long as I say something wrong, and show a little sign of it, within a day, I will walk down the street, and a drunken man's short knife will pierce my lower abdomen and cut my throat, and then who will I go to reason? Have you ever seen a eunuch go out and have a guard go up and down? When will I wear armor? Even if I have a wrong look and am alerted, I bet I will not live more than three days in King's Landing. I was either choked to death by steamed buns, or I broke my head when I went down the steps, lost too much blood, and died. ”

Ed stared at Varys, "So who is going to murder the king?"

"My lord, I don't need to say anything more about who wants to murder the king, I'm sure you must understand!"

"Lannister?"

"I didn't say that, my lord, but my lord has already saved the life of the stupid donkey king once, and it is because of my lord's action that I understand that my lord is my only ally, and I can understand why the queen is so afraid of you, and sees you as a thorn in her side. ”

"When did I save the king's life?"

"You prevented the king from attending jousting conventions. Varys said, "The group contest, with more than sixty people in total, was in chaos like that, the black iron spike hammer of the magic mountain was wielded, and the knights fell one after another, if someone accidentally touched His Majesty, can you say that it was a deliberate murder? But the graceful and merciful widow will have sympathy for him, and when the time comes, what can our kind-hearted King Joffrey do but forgive him. The eunuch made a mourning appearance, "or he will ask Sir Illin to cut off his head, kill people, cross the river and tear down the bridge, and there is no doubt that the Lannisters can do it completely." ”

"Is everything you say true?" Eddard's hand clenched into a fist under the table, the Lannister's audacity made him fearful, angry, and warlike. Ed had always believed that human courage comes from fear, and now he felt it, "Varys, you have to go with me to the king, you have to tell the king what he said to me." ”

"No, no, no, Prime Minister, where is our evidence? Do you want me and the queen to confront each other? Do you want my little bird to be the enemy of the queen, the king's murderer, the king's own brother, his courtiers, and all the forces of Kaiyan City? Well, you can tell Sir Ealing to cut off my head, it will be easier. If I go with you, what do you think the king should decide on this matter in the Royal Council, and what proof is the proof that the Lannisters are going to assassinate the king in a group jousting meeting?"

Ed was speechless!

"If what you're saying is true, the Lannisters will just do it again. ”

"That's for sure!" said Varys, "but I'm afraid their next one is not far off." Lord Eddard, the king is willing to listen to you alone, and if you don't stop the group competition, the king will already be over, and I can't imagine the consequences! Prime Minister, you have made the murderer sleepless. Together, the two of us may be able to save the life of the stupid donkey king, just you and me. He stood up and pulled on his cloak to cover his face. "That's all for today, and the next time you see me at the court, don't forget to use your previous contemptuous attitude. ”

Ned's heart moved, "Varys, how did Jon Arryn die?"

"It's called 'Reese's Tears,' and it's very rare and expensive. Its taste is as sweet as water, leaving no traces. I was in this room pleading with Lord Arryn for a dietary tester, but he wouldn't listen. ”

"Who poisoned it?"

"It was a friend who was close to him and used to dine with him, and he had everything that Jon Arryn had given him, but when Arryn's widow, Lysa Tully, fled back to the Eagle's Nest with her family, he chose to stay in King's Landing, and soon became a knight from a horseboy. He wore that shiny new armor at the jousting tournament, and that crescent moon cloak. It's just a pity that he is even more stupid than our esteemed king, and he went to challenge the Magic Mountain in a spear contest......"

"Sir Matthew. Ned strung all the suspicions together, "Jon Arryn has been Prime Minister for fourteen years, what did he do to force the Lannisters to kill him?"

"I suppose Jon Arryn, like me, sniffed out the Lannister's plot to murder the King. As soon as the king died, Joffrey ascended the throne, and Joffrey was still a child, so the power naturally fell into the hands of the Lannisters. ”

*

Ed sat down slowly, and Varys's words echoed in his head. In order to murder the king, Lannister first murdered the prime minister, and he himself is now the king's prime minister.

And Varys had disappeared into the Prime Minister's Tower like a ghost, and he had not gone out of the gate or down the stairs, and had mysteriously disappeared without a trace.

The residence of the Minister of Intelligence Varys in the Red Keep is located to the right of the watchtower of the Red Keep Gate, next to the high walls of the Red Keep, the left side of the gate is diagonally facing the throne hall, and along the walls of the Red Keep to the south, over some simple and low stone buildings, is the White Sword Tower where the Kingsguard lived.

In Varys's bedroom, the stone bed slowly rose from the ground little by little, and finally the heavy stone bed stopped, and a figure emerged from under the stone bed.

Click!

The stone bed slowly resets.

Varys took off his disguise, and suddenly his whole body stiffened, and in the dark corner opposite, there was a man standing against the wall, breathing evenly. Take a look at the latest chapters of "Ice and Fire Demon Mountain Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
