Chapter 17: Conspiracy - Seeking Votes

PS: Ask for a monthly pass! Ask for recommendations!

Van Gundy was very interested: "If you go on, what do you think we should do now?" ”

Kirk replied very simply: "Mr. Van Gundy, what would you do if you had already wagered your entire fortune in a game of betting, and unfortunately you had just finished your bet and knew the outcome of the doomed cup?" ”

Van Gundy smiled: "I'll smash the field!" Let this gamble not go on! Naturally, my net worth will not fall into the hands of others. ”

The magic archer's eyes lit up: "That's right! If our plot moves favorably, we naturally want to make sure that the plot goes smoothly, but we have a dark cliff in front of us, and we have to flip this chessboard over! ”

Kirk said: "So, now, we have to muddy the water completely, so that all the big and small piranhas lurking at the bottom of the water will roll to the surface of the water and bite them." Let us see that the respectable, loyal but brainless Duke Stark is not going to the throne of the Prime Minister, but the cold abyss of the grave! ”

So, that night, taking advantage of the changing of the guard as a cover, two sneaky guards slipped into Lady Catherine's boudoir. These are two Contractor thieves sent on a mission.

At night, Lady Catherine screamed???

She kept screaming and moaning:

"Why are those letters of mine and those books missing!!

(Anyone who wants to be crooked faces the wall, Catherine is a mother of 5 children)

In the bright moonlight, a white carrier pigeon appeared in Kirk's hand, and he confirmed the contents of the letter again. Say to the two thieves from Van Gundy's team and the magic archer team next to him, "Well done brothers! You, in particular, can even imitate handwriting, with Catherine. Tully's handwriting is almost identical. ”

The thief was a little embarrassed by Kirk's praise: "Before I entered the space, I was a vagrant. As long as there is money to be made, I will do anything. So I'm a good hand at imitating handwriting for credit card fraud, and petty theft can only be considered a side hustle. ”

"Alright," Kirk smiled, "It's your reward, please keep your head tight." ”

The two thieves winked and stepped back.

WHILE WAITING FOR VAN GUNDY AND THE MAGIC ARCHER TO ARRIVE, KIRK, WANG HAN, CHUBBY, AND LYNN GET TOGETHER TO TALK ABOUT COUNTERMEASURES.

Kirk held a letter in his hand that had just been written. WANG HAN AND LYNN STARED AT IT CURIOUSLY.

"What's on that letterhead?" Wang Han asked.

Kirk smiled and replied, "A letter from home." I made Chubby, who was good at imitating Lady Catherine's handwriting, forge it. ”

Wang Han was puzzled: "I can understand that you asked Xiaopang to steal Lady Catherine's correspondence, after all, we need to copy the model." There is also the seal of Lady Catherine. But why steal the book? ”

Kirk went on to explain: "In the original play, Lady Catherine and her sister Lady Lysa were written in a kind of ciphertext of the two sisters' young engagements, which ordinary people could not do, but that was limited to ordinary characters. Now that we know the secret, we know it. Naturally, you have to put it to good use. This is the book that Lady Catherine kept at the bedside. It's the ciphertext codebook agreed upon by the two sisters! Speaking of which. I have to talk about Lady Lyza, who just lost her husband. On the surface, Madame Lysa is a poor widow who has just lost her husband as Prime Minister and has only an eight-year-old son under her knees. A few days later, she would kindly risk her death to pass the news to her. Warn Ned and Catherine that Queen Cersei was the murderer of her husband, Ned's adoptive father, Guardian of the East, Lord of the Valley Kingdom and Eagle's Nest, Prime Minister of the Kingdom, and Duke Arryn! ”

He smiled and continued: "But! You and I both know that this seemingly weak victim is one of the murderers who poisoned Duke Arryn, who was more than 80 years old! ”

"She killed her own husband with her own hands for another man, a man she was madly obsessed with!"

"This man is the culprit who single-handedly directed the final civil war and division of the Seven Kingdoms! For his own selfish interests, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the world's conspiracy master. ”

If he follows his script, the Stark family of "Icewolf" will definitely break out into a direct political and military conflict with the Lannister family, the "Golden Lion", which holds a lot of power, and eventually cause Ned. Stark's execution in King's Landing and the decline of the Starks. ”

"Since the future chessboard situation is extremely unfavorable for us, then we are going to completely mess up this game! Let his wishful thinking not work! ”

LYNN NODDED, AND THEN ASKED, "WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE LETTER YOU WROTE TO LADY RYZA PRETENDING TO BE LADY CATHERINE?" ”

"It's normal for sisters to write letters to each other. But the content of the letter I sent her was quite unusual. Kirk smiled, "Since inviting Ned to King's Landing is a dangerous feast, we will simply overturn the table and pour a spoonful of dung on it, and it will be a stinking thing, and no one will want to sit idle and reap the benefits of the fisherman!" ”

Seeing that he was still going to play tricks and make a pretending expression of a master outside the world and Kong Ming, Wang Han and Xiaopang were so angry that they wanted to beat him. LYNN SMILED SILENTLY.

Kirk had no choice but to honestly hand over the letter.

Wang Han snatched it and saw it: "Sister Lysa, I was shocked to hear the bad news of Duke Arryn, and Ned and I were embarrassed. and heard that the duke was murdered to death, and died unjustly. The duke is Ned's adoptive father, and his father is like a mountain, and this hatred is not shared. Upon closer inspection, the Lannisters and Queen Cersei are very suspicious, and the "monarch killer" Jaime is also under suspicion. Ned intends to take advantage of the King's arrival in Winterfell to carry out a military admonition to get rid of the vicious Lannister queen, in order to repay his adoptive father's deep-sea blood feud and restore the kingdom's prosperity. The so-called king is not secret, he will lose his ministers, and if his ministers are not secret, he will lose his country. Sister Lysa, don't leak this secret. After the poison, he was beheaded, and then went to the Eagle's Nest to worship the heroic soul of his adoptive father. Robert. Arryn is still young, and everything in the Eagle's Nest depends on her sister to decide. My sister is precious, don't be too sad. Catherine"

Wang Han was incredulous: "This ??? This letter is no different from the warning letter that Madame Lyza is about to send, isn't it? They are all accusing the Lannisters of single-handedly causing the death of Duke Arryn. Moreover, there is also a military admonition to get rid of Queen Cersei, where is this? ”

Kirk laughed: "It is precisely because of the consistency with the content of the letter written by Lady Lyza explained by the mastermind behind the scenes that they are suspicious. The death of Duke Arryn was not a secret, and it was not uncommon for the North to know the Dao a few days earlier, at most the Northern Territory's espionage intelligence work was more powerful than they expected. But if it's a cipher with a code, and words that match their intentions, the other party will believe that Stark has been carried away by the rage and is ready to deal with Cersei and the Lannisters in Winterfell! ”

Wang Han showed a suspicious gaze: "That mastermind behind the scenes is known as the number one conspiracy master of the Seven Kingdoms, wouldn't he suspect this?" ”

Kirk laughed: "Of course he will be suspicious, even if he doesn't believe the contents of the letter, it doesn't matter." Believe it or not, with his political sense and skill, he will definitely make corresponding preparations. The chaos in the world was something he dreamed of, and the hostility and even war between the Starks and the Lannisters was the outcome he wanted to see the most. If something happens to the Northlands, he'll make an earth-shattering move in King's Landing! ”

Wang Han shook his head and said: "I don't believe it, your fluttering letter, a rumor of military advice, made this conspirator hidden in the palace impatient to jump out, make trouble in King's Landing, expose himself, isn't this too child's play?" ”

Kirk laughed and said, "Don't think too complicated about politics. In fact, in essence, it is a child playing at home, betraying and deceiving in order to fight for power and profit, and fight back and forth. It's just that these children are more rational and more powerful. It is impossible to say that with this letter, it is impossible to let a scheming person make a move, but he will definitely lay out in advance to prevent the ripe peaches from being snatched by others. Don't forget, the king also had at least two younger brothers and a large number of illegitimate children, and historically after Robert I hung up, it directly triggered the "Five Kings Dispute". If the conspirators don't act, it's really hard to say where this Iron Throne belongs. As long as he takes some drastic action, there will naturally be a large number of hostile contractors who are also afraid of him, and they will rush up and pull him out of the darkness! The conspirators all died at the sight of the light, and I let him die like a mouse, burned alive! ”

Wang Han frowned and said, "However, if you mess around like this, it will lead to the start of the civil war between the Stark family and the Lannister family in advance!" Seven Congresses in Chaos ???"

Kirk smiled and said, "Who's to say it's not?" I just want them to fight, not only to fight, but to start the continental war with a bang. The Starks of the Northland are clumsy like bears when they play conspiracy, but once you pick up your sword and mount your horse, you understand how the Icewolf got its nickname. What's more, the territory of the Northland is vast, accounting for one-third of the entire continent. Often involved in wars against the wildlings and strangers of the Far North, the army is elite and experienced in combat. Moreover, the Northland has a dangerous snakeneck swamp that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is enough to contain the attack of any army. As long as there is a large-scale civil war at the beginning, the Starks are actually invincible. This is to use one's own strengths, attack others' shortcomings, and we are not opponents in playing conspiracy, but we are not afraid of anyone. ”

Wang Han was about to faint: "What about the king?" You're not really going to do it in Winterfell, are you? ”

Kirk raised his eyebrows: "I said, we're afraid that things won't make a big fuss, Robert is a good friend of Ned, but he has nothing to do with us." This kind of mediocre king, assassinated and assassinated, what else? In Winterfell, the possibility of war is almost non-existent, and Ned will not let a single soldier enter the king's residence. But we can try to assassinate the king on the way through the snow and wind. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
