"Count Marwyn, your loyalty is the coldest of rocks, and it is truly touching and admirable that you have silently sworn to protect Eddard's children. I just don't know what the Queen would think if she found out that your plan was to take Stark's young ladies away. The eunuch said in his sweet and greasy tone like an aria.

"She wouldn't know." Du Yu said very succinctly.

"The Queen's intelligence network is not as good as my little bird, but in the Red Keep, she does have the ability to cover the sky with one hand, not to mention, Sansa is her good baby, if Sansa finds the Queen, she will know everything and say everything, just like she leaked Eddard's plan before. What about you? Varys asked.

"She won't, I'm not Ed, I don't have any other feelings and bonds for her other than the oath, if I really can't do it, I will kill her with my own hands." Du Yu said it very plainly, as if it really didn't matter to him.

"Tut-tut, you are really ruthless, is it true that in the eyes of you Orientals, there are only interests and transactions in this world?" There was a hint of amusement on Varys' face.

"I didn't know that the famous eight-clawed spider, the Empire's intelligence minister, Count Varys, is an honorary person who doesn't talk about interests, but only about benevolence." There was no trace of a smile on Du Yu's face, just a cold mockery at the corner of his mouth. "I'm not coming to you today to discuss my values, or to ask for your opinion on events. I'm just going to make a deal with you. ”

"Of course, I will be glad to serve you, my honourable Earl Marwyn, but I am only a little spider hidden in the shadows, how can I help you?" Varys made a very humble expression, so that no one would believe that he was one of the most influential people in the Empire.

"Let's stop going around in circles, I have a lot of things, you have a lot of things, we each have our own secrets and purposes, but in general, I have no intention of interfering in the **** issue of the Seven Kingdoms, nor do I intend to stir up the storm on this continent, I and Littlefinger are different, and I believe that Count Varys, there is no irresolvable conflict between me and you."

"So, let's be honest, you've served three kings now, and I know you know a lot of the secrets of the Red Keep, and I only need the most obvious of them, I just need to be able to see Eddard's secret passage, and I need to talk to him. Also, you can't let a third person know about it."

Du Yu's face was slightly impatient, it was a very tiresome thing to go around in circles with an old fox, even if it had a considerable purpose.

"Oh, of course I know, and I'm happy to serve you, Count Malween." Without any conditions, Varys bowed and saluted. "But, I'm afraid, in your words, we are in business, and what can you give me?"

"What do you want?" Du Yu raised his eyebrows, he couldn't see through Varys, whether it was the information of the novels and TV series, or the information he collected after coming to this world, it became blurry when he touched his forehead and pointed at Varys. He wanted to guess a thing or two from Varys's answer.

The eunuch wrung his hands slightly, as if he was doing something difficult to choose. Then he spoke, and said in his voice as sweet as toffee: "We all know that Count Malween, you have won the Seven Kingdoms and have an amazing artistic career. You know, it's not easy to keep a secret, and I think it's fair to keep it in exchange for you taking a shot when I need help. ”

"Yes, on the premise of not violating my fundamental interests, I am willing to make a move for you." Du Yu pondered for a moment, considering the necessity of seeing Ed now, and nodded in agreement.

"Well, then, I wish us a happy cooperation, honorable Earl Marween." As he spoke, Varys told Du Yu the location of the secret passage, and then closed his sleeves, his body was ready to disappear into the darkness again, and left along an unknown secret passage.

"Wait!" Du Yu suddenly spoke.

"What's the matter? Earl of Marween. Varys turned back.

"King's Landing is accustomed to intrigue and betrayal, estranged relatives, strangers, siblings turned into enemies, and there are hidden conspiracy in the court. Honestly, Count Varys, I can't trust you! Du Yu suddenly said faintly, and there was some unknown killing intent hidden in that tone.

Varys is someone that Du Yu doesn't know and can't control, as the top master of ice and fire, Du Yu never thinks that he can compete with a nineteen-year-old boy. Therefore, as he spoke, Du Yu's hand had at some point with a sharp short knife shining with a cold light, and when Varys didn't react, it was placed on the latter's neck.

Varys's pupils shrank, although he usually behaved harmless, like a really pampered fat man, but as a famous prince of thieves back then, his body and eyesight were quite exquisite, but now he couldn't even see how Du Yu's knife appeared, but he felt that his neck was cold and he suddenly felt that the sword was added, so how could he not be shocked.

"Count Malween, what do you mean by that?" Varys's voice was no longer sweet, but it was also calm. "This is not the principle of doing business, everyone takes what they need in business, but they still have to keep their promises, and you want to kill me now?"

"No, I just can't trust you, after all, this matter is a matter of life and death, I have to be cautious, so I mean, you'd better go with me." Du Yu is very calm, and his scheming is subtle, because he is invisible and traceless, killing people in conversation and laughter, but he has a transcendent force, in other words, there are some things that he can make disappear in the dark night.

"Okay, then our previous deal ......" Varys had no choice, he could only tentatively say what happened before, if Du Yu broke the contract together, he didn't have any way.

"It's still valid, I have no intention of breaking the contract, it's just that I can't tolerate the slightest mistake and leak in this matter, and I can't risk betting on your so-called integrity." Du Yu was also calm and said it clearly.

"You're wise." Varys complimented, "I wonder if you can take your blade off my neck now, the road ahead is rough, and I don't want to die from your feet." ”

"Okay, let's eat this." As he spoke, Du Yu took out a pill.

"What is this?" Varys frowned, looked at the black pill in Du Yu's hand and asked.

"Poison"

"I thought you were a knight, and poison was a weapon for cowards and women!" Varys reacquainted himself with Du Yu once again.

"I'm not going to kill you with poison, I'm just trying to make sure you don't escape, I've heard that the secret passages in the Red Keep are like spider webs, and there may be three forks in the road with a single turn. I'm not like you sneaking away while I'm not ready. There was no trace of shame on Du Yu's face, poison seemed to him to be a normal thing.

"I have to say, you're such a scary person!" Varys's words came from the bottom of his heart, and the expression on his face didn't seem to be fake, he really admired the Oriental man in front of him, he was a white body a few months ago, and now he has a considerable title. He has the means and strength, unlike Eddard, who is burdened by vain and courtesy, and is not like King Robert, who is brave but disdainful of conspiracy, sometimes he is unscrupulous, and sometimes he is humble and polite, and he bows his waist.

If Varys knew about China, he would definitely say a heroic gesture!

He took Du Yu's pill, swallowed it directly into his stomach without thinking about it, and then looked at Du Yu with a smile: "Count Marwen, let's go!" The voice was still sweet and greasy, as if the one just now was not poison, but a sugar pill.

"Well, after the deed is done, I will naturally give you the antidote, Count Varys, believe that I have no ill intentions, and what I did today is just in case." After Du Yu explained, the two of them disappeared together and hid in the darkness and came to the underground world of the Red Castle.

The intertwined secret passages lead to many secrets in the Red Keep, and also witness countless conspiracies and betrayals.
