The cloister was empty and dark, with no guards, no sound of the spring murmuring, only two old maids mending the garden day and night in the distance, sprinkling dust and dust.

Du Yu spoke to the dim and empty night: "Lord Varys, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, what made you so anxious to come late at night, but hesitated in the shadows. ”

In the shadows, a visitor dressed in a heavy brown robe made of very coarse material, his face obscured by a cloak of hooded head, appeared abruptly in the starlight, wearing a pair of light boots at his feet to hide his tracks and sounds, and the octopus-clawed spider looked as if it had gone through a difficult trek, and the smell of sweat was not the smell of lilac perfume during the day.

"People say that Sir Aloin from the East knows a lot of mysterious magic, and I used to scoff at it, but now I believe it a little, I wonder how you found me, Sir?" Varys didn't answer Du Yu's question, but asked first

"No matter how clever a recluse, he's a living person, isn't he?" Du Yu said, "The long night, Lord Varys is not resting in his bedroom, and the rugged and tortuous coming to me must not just want to test my vigilance. ”

"I'm just a eunuch without male roots, how can I delusionally test the vigilance of Sir Aloin, who overwhelmed the Seven Kingdoms with martial arts?" A sweet voice came from under the hood, "I came late at night, and I beg your forgiveness, and I beg your forgiveness, and I beg your forgiveness, and I beg my conscience to come late tonight, and with all sincerity I want to gain your friendship." ”

"I don't believe my friendship is valued by Lord Varys, who is known all over the world." Du Yu smiled, "I am neither a member of the Imperial Council, nor a lord with heavy troops. I don't think I'm entitled to the friendship of Lord Varys, which many nobles don't have. ”

"Sir Olrope, don't be presumptuous, you are now the first person in the Seven Nations competition, and I believe that many people will be willing to throw an olive branch to you." Varys' sweet tone was respectful. "Although I am well-informed, I am only a fat eunuch, and there is nothing special about it."

"A person can pretend to be happy, angry, angry, and wronged, I have seen many of them, but the voice is difficult to disguise, just listen carefully." Du Yu was not moved by Varys's words, naively believing that he could get the friendship of the eight-clawed spider, throughout the whole text, except for Illyrio, the governor of Pantos, who had a close friendship with him, everyone else, even the little demon Tyrion, was only because he had an extraordinary talent for governing the country.

"I don't care if you're sincere or not, Lord Varys, I just want to know what made you come to me in a hurry late at night?"

"Sir Aloin, I've been hesitant to trust you, but after Sir Gregor "The Magic Mountain" killed you today, I choose to believe you. Varys's voice was no longer sweet, but cautious.

"The enemy of the enemy is the friend, or do we have the same interests?" Varys has always been mysterious, even Du Yu, who has read five books, can't figure out his thoughts, can't see through his intentions, his tone is calm, but his heart is hesitant.

"Sir Oloin, you are really different" Varys tightened his hood, his face hidden in the shadows becoming more and more unpredictable, "you are a smart man, you must not fail to see the danger of the current situation, Lord Eddard is an honest and honor-worthy nobleman, I admire this, but those who are too upright are more easily deceived by villains. ”

"There's often a fine line between integrity and stupidity, I have no doubt about that. But I think that you should have said this more to Prime Minister Eddard than to me, as you can see, I am a stranger teaching Arya's swordsmanship, but I have not interfered with Master Stark's decision, nor have I spoken to him. Du Yu said

The moonlight grew colder, a cloud drifted in, and the starlight became a little dim.

"I'm sorry that even if you didn't get too involved in the Stark family's interests, 'they' chose to see you as a member of the Stark family, and I don't think you'll be able to get away with it now that you defeated the Kingkiller in a near-humiliating way in a jousting trial. Today's behavior of the 'Magic Mountain' is a case in point. Varys shrugged, his tone as sharp as a whip, and at once the veil of concealment was torn apart.

"If you mean Lannister, I don't think it's necessary, I have a good relationship with Tyrion, he's also a Lannister, and I'm pretty sure that Duke Tywin won't condescend to embarrass me, and Cersei can't disobey his father, can she?" Du Yu smiled, "So, the Stark family and I can't talk about both glory and loss." ”

Varys's body stiffened, he hadn't felt this kind of uncontrollable rhythm and unexpected feeling for a long time, and he misjudged Du Yu's values and social outlook: "You're right, I thought you liked the Stark kids a lot. ”

"Yes, I do love the Stark kids, whether it's the cute little Bran, the quirky Arya, or Miss Sansa, who is as beautiful as a budding winter rose." Du Yu said.

Sansa Stark is actually a very gentle person, but the nymphomaniac at the beginning makes her look unbright in the game of thrones, and since her father's death she has been like a helpless duckweed, persecuted by lonely people she trusts, and tormented by people she loves, without true affection and no warmth.

"Since you love them so much, you don't know what will happen to the wolf family if the lion gets the upper hand. King's Landing is a place of princes and nobles, where lies and intrigue are the constant truth, and Prime Minister Eddard Stark's integrity will make him have no chance of winning this game. Varys's mouth spat out one syllable after another, his tone was anxious, his true intentions were difficult to guess, but as seen in the glimpse in the play, he didn't want the lion and the wolf to go to war now, it seemed that he still needed the peace and stability of the Seven Kingdoms, just on the surface, it was enough.

"Of course I know that they will be cold-eyed and live as hostages in King's Landing, and this is on the premise that Prime Minister Ed chooses to give in and survive, and if Prime Minister Ed is shown to the public, then they will be worse than dead, and they will be persecuted." Du Yu's voice was steady and without a trace of waves. "But as you said, Prime Minister Eddard has no chance of winning, so why would you go to such lengths to convince me to join a ship that is doomed to sink. As far as I know, you and Prime Minister Ed are not related to each other......" Du Yu's words were still unfinished.

"I have always been committed to peace in the Seven Kingdoms, and I am also a compassionate person, and I do not want to see wolves and lions fight each other and Westeros bleed." Varys said with a blushing face and a heartbeat.

"Oh? I'm sorry, I don't know if there's anything I can do to help, the court is full of Lannisters, and the Stark family has less than forty guards. King Robert himself owes the Lannisters a huge debt, and if it weren't for the extraordinary friendship between my lord Ed and the king, I am afraid that we would have been buried in this bottomless whirlpool of power. Du Yu shook his head and said.

"Sir, you are too modest, you have the courage of a thousand people, if you serve Lord Ed from this day forward, maybe the Lannisters will not dare to act rashly." Varys's voice became sweet again, perhaps he thought he had moved Du Yu. "As for the King, yes, he protects the Lannisters and Prime Minister Eddard, but unfortunately, there are no gray areas in King's Landing, and I'm pretty sure the King's life is short."

It's a pity that he is not a Shadow Bound Warrior, he can predict the future from the fire, he will not imagine how brutal and stupid Joffrey is, the battle of the Five Kings is impossible to avoid. Even if Du Yu protects Eddard's safety, the word rat thrower will never appear in Prince Joffrey, who is in power.

"Perhaps," Du Yu shrugged, "but I'm sorry, I don't intend to be the enemy of the Westlands Guardian Lannister and Baratheon's nominal heir at the same time, even if I have sworn allegiance to Stark, it is not in my interest, of course, if there is real danger, I will help save Eddard's children, and I hope that Lord Varys can help me when the time comes." ”

The system has not responded for a long time, and it is impossible for his every move to be as capricious as before, and his extraordinary force is no match for a cup of poison, and finally turns into a handful of loess.

"It's sad news, I thought you were a loyal man, but you were just looking ahead." Varys shook his head, his voice flat, "Still, I'm here to help. ”

With that, the figure of the eunuch disappeared into the shadows again.
