Chapter 182: Downplaying Life and Death

"Why, am I so unbearable in your mind that you think that a mere priestess of the Lord of Light can kill me?" Zhang Cheng asked with a sneer, kicking away the corpse of the woman who had fallen in the hallway and trying to stop him, and closed the door again.

Although he had long expected that the other party would one day tear up the covenant and attack him, he underestimated Littlefinger's growing ambition and natural adventurous character.

According to his initial judgment, the covenant between the three of them would continue until Berish took complete control of the valley.

But who would have thought that this guy didn't play his cards according to common sense at all, completely ignored the serious consequences of failure, and even took advantage of Sansa and Tyrion's nominal relationship as husband and wife.

You must know that Zhang Cheng's character has never lacked caution, and when getting along with people like Varys and Littlefinger, he will hardly touch the food or wine prepared by the other party.

However, the little devil is obviously not the kind of person who can poison, so he subconsciously let his guard down, ignoring Sansa, a girl who is both stupid and easy to be manipulated.

"You're still alive, so that means Kinvara has failed?!!" said Berissie, a look of disbelief on his face.

He couldn't believe that Jinvara, who was the first priest of the Lord of Light and was many times more powerful than the Witch in Cardin, Melisandre, would die at the hands of this guy of unknown origin in front of him.

Zhang Cheng casually dragged a chair, sat down unhurriedly, and responded in a sarcastic tone: "Yes! Otherwise, do you think I will give her a second chance? No, I have always taken my attitude towards the enemy very seriously, and I will never change anything because of the other party's gender, age, and life experience. Also, do you know what your biggest mistake is? not the growing ambition, not the inferiority complex hidden behind the ambition, it is your incomprehension of the power of magic, and it is this incomprehension that makes you make the wrong judgment. Now, tell me if you have any last words?"

"Wait!" Hearing the last word, Berish's pupils instantly contracted, and he hurriedly took a few steps back and shouted loudly.

"Oh, with such a blatant act of betrayal, you still expect me to let you go?" Zhang Cheng saw through the other party's intentions at a glance, and curled the corners of his mouth to reveal undisguised mockery.

To be honest, on the way here, he was still thinking about how to torture Littlefinger in a cruel way, but after seeing the other party with his own eyes, he didn't have such a strong sense of revenge.

I don't know if it's a delusion, as the number of killings increases, he begins to gradually look at life and death very lightly, not only can he indifferently watch the fresh lives disappear, but he can also calmly accept that he will be killed by others at some point in the future.

After all, whether it is the natural world or the so-called civilized society, it is essentially a game between hunters and prey, and no one can guarantee that they will always be hunters and will not become prey.

The only thing he can do is learn to adapt, and even enjoy the thrill, the feeling of his life hanging by a thread.

"Don't you want to know what role Varys played in this matter, and where he is hiding now?" asked Petyr Berish, taking a deep breath.

He obviously knew very well what to explain now in order to save his life, so he did not hesitate to betray his accomplices.

Betrayal and betrayal were familiar to him, and there were no psychological or moral obstacles.

Looking at the strong desire to survive revealed in the other party's eyes, Zhang Cheng suddenly smiled, and sighed while laughing: "Dear Earl, you are really a person who will not give up any hope easily. Okay, then I'll hear what you can say that will discourage me from trying to kill you. ”

Realizing that his life would not be in danger immediately, Baerich's tense nerves relaxed a little, and he didn't even look at Sansa, who was in a trance on the bed and moaned slightly from time to time, and explained in a sincere tone: "Maybe you won't believe it, but in fact, the plan to kill you was not proposed by me first, but by Varys. He has always had a secret with the High Priests of the Lord of Light, and he is the only one who can tell him to move Jinvara across the ocean to deal with you. ”

"Hahahaha! So, you just accidentally got involved?" Zhang Chengcheng couldn't help laughing.

He had always thought that Littlefinger was a guy with a more or less bottom line, but now it seems that he was a little wrong, and the other party was far more shameless than he imagined.

"No, I'm not going to deny that I want to get rid of you, or that I'm involved. The point I want to make is that I don't pose much of a threat to you myself, and it's our mutual friend Varys who really threatens you. In addition, just half an hour earlier, as if anticipating the defeat of Kinwala, he had secretly left King's Landing for Essos by boat. No one but me knows exactly where he went. Think about it, will you kill me right away so that the real damned ones can escape, or will you leave me to help you find Varys?"

Zhang Cheng touched his chin and thought for a moment, and quickly nodded: "I have to admit that what you said makes sense." Perhaps Varys secretly planned this attack, not to kill me, but to kill Kinvara and you with my hand. In a way, he's far more threatening than you. Because what you desire in your heart is to gain power, not to hide in a dark corner and live as humble as a mouse. But he is different, he is a person who is naturally accustomed to the company of shadows, and if he is allowed to run, it will be troublesome in the future. ”

"Wise choice! I have learned enough to never dare to make an enemy of you again. Baesi hurriedly got down on one knee and solemnly swore an oath.

"Oaths, hehe, no, Count, I never believed in oaths. There is a saying in my homeland that people make a contract to tear it up in the future, and people make a vow to turn their backs on it in the future. If I'm not mistaken, you've made countless vows, please tell me which one of them you have kept?" Zhang Cheng asked mercilessly.

"Then what are you going to believe me?" Berry Xi tilted his head and looked directly into Zhang Cheng's eyes.

Most people fear the law, not because the law itself is worthy of reverence, but because they fear the punishment for breaking the law. In the same way, if you can understand that you will never be spared after betraying me again, you will naturally not have any more crooked thoughts. Come, give me a drop of your blood, I just learned some interesting blood magic not long ago, and now it's time to come in handy......"
