Chapter 218: Secret Visit
If Joffrey's poisoning death caused the continent of Westeros, which had finally regained its calm, to make waves again, then Tywin Lannister was shot in the toilet by the "little devil" like a roaring flood, completely breaking the fragile balance between the great nobles.
Although on the surface, the Lannisters and the Tyrells continue to choose to maintain their alliance and marriage, anyone with a discerning eye can see that after losing her father's restraint, Cersei's conceited, short-sighted, and retributive personality will sooner or later turn against the scheming Queen of Thorns.
At that time, not to mention the smooth rule of the Seven Kingdoms, I am afraid that there will be a good show of power and profit within King's Landing......
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Zhang Cheng for the time being. To be exact, he had expected such an outcome a long time ago, so he was not surprised at all when he got the news, and after a glance, he threw it into the brazier and burned it, and continued his renovation of the tower.
But just because he doesn't care doesn't mean that others don't care, especially Olenna Redwin, who feels Cersei's increasingly unfriendly attitude, takes advantage of the double pain of losing her son and father, and takes her most beloved granddaughter to leave King's Landing overnight, and sets foot on the docks of Old Town in just a few days.
Looking at the busy crowd around her, and the thriving market, Margaery was very surprised and asked, "Didn't this place be looted by the Iron People not long ago?
"Haha! You're from out of town, beautiful young lady. A coolie in a shabby shirt wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to reveal a face that was a mixture of exhaustion and joy.
"Yes, can you tell me what's going on here?" said Margaret Tirel, looking curious.
Coupled with her beautiful appearance and approachable temperament, very few people will not like her, let alone refuse her small requests.
"It's all to Master Mason, who not only destroyed the damned robbers, but also ordered a massive tax relief to compensate the merchants for their losses. Now, almost all merchants knew that taxes were lower than any other port on Westeros, so they went to great lengths to buy or sell their goods. In addition to this, the dragon that constantly hovered in the sky also greatly deterred the pirates in the nearby waters, and the merchants felt very safe under its protection. ”
The coolie, who was in his thirties, was completely attracted by the beauty of the girl, and without thinking about telling everything he knew.
From a tone bordering on adoration, Margaery quickly analyzed two conclusions.
First, the Hightower family is completely ruined, and the actual owner of the old town is not Moroya, but the young man of mysterious origin.
Second, the inhabitants of Old Town don't seem to mind a new ruler at all, even if they don't have legal inheritance.
On top of that, Kuroklba had just flown overhead, and he was much older than the last time he saw it, and he exuded an incomparable terrifying aura all over his body.
It is conceivable that once this dragon joins the battlefield, it will inevitably break the will of ordinary soldiers, and no one will want to face an invincible enemy, even if they have more money and status.
At the suggestion of her grandmother's eyes, Margaery rewarded the coolie with a silver dragon, and then, under the protection of the family knights, went straight to the door of the towering tower that had been restored to its original state.
I have to say that without the white marble cover, this tower is really not very good, whether it is the black stone that constantly reflects the sun's rays, or the strange shape, all of them reveal an incompatible mysterious atmosphere.
Olenna Redwin looked up at the large crystalline glowing from the top for a moment before handing over the signet ring representing the Tyrells.
The guards, who realized the identity of the comer, did not mean to stop them in the slightest, and after returning the ring, they immediately made way for the entrance.
The "Queen of Thorns" gestured to the knight who was escorting her, and slowly disappeared at the end of the passage with the help of her granddaughter.
But before she could go far, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of her, and with the help of the faint light, she immediately recognized that the other party was none other than Moroya Hightower.
The latter lifted her skirt and saluted, and greeted coldly: "Long time no see, dear Lady Olenna, I really didn't expect you to come to Old Town at this time. ”
"It's been a long time, I remember the last time we met, you were still studying the so-called alchemy with the Earl of Layton, who would have thought that he would be killed by the murderous Iron Min. The Queen of Thorns took two steps forward and hugged each other, while quietly testing her attitude.
Although she has never figured it out, according to the towering tower's powerful defensive capabilities, how can it be broken by the iron seed, but with her rich life experience and experience, she can obviously smell the whole thing revealing the breath of conspiracy.
"yes! What happened that day was horrible, with blood, corpses, and death filling the passage, and I can't help but shudder when I think about it now. Moroya couldn't help but shudder, and her eyes revealed fear from her heart.
Of course, what she was afraid of was not Tiemin, but Zhang Cheng, who killed in the passage that day.
"Our Lady above! May all souls who died in vain rest rest in peace. Don't be too sad, after all, the Hightower family will rely on you for support in the future. Margaery hurriedly comforted softly.
"Thank you!" Moroya deliberately pretended not to understand the hint in her words, and politely thanked her.
With her intelligence, how could she not understand that the two were spying on intelligence, but they just refused to reveal half a point.
The reason is very simple, her life is still in Zhang Cheng's hands, and she doesn't dare to have a little crooked mind at all, at least she will guarantee 100% loyalty before she finds a strong enough backer.
As the saying goes, three women in one play, especially three female nobles who have ghosts in their hearts and calculate each other.
After a few words of hypocritical comfort, Olenna Redwyn suddenly changed her tone and asked in a low voice, "Moroya, can you tell me where Count Mason is right now?" ”
"Please come with me, my master has been waiting for you for a long time. But I want to remind you that you have to be quiet no matter what you see later, otherwise you ......" Moroya deliberately dragged out a long tone, and the implication was self-evident.
"Master?!" the Queen of Thorns keenly grasped a key word, and an unconcealable surprise appeared on her wrinkled face.
Margaery's reaction was similar, she froze in place, she couldn't believe that Moroya, who was called a "madwoman", would willingly serve a young man much younger than herself.
