"Night's Watch raid on Winterfell?"

After waiting in the cold wind for more than an hour, Luce Bolton surprised him by waiting for him...... To be precise, overjoyed news: Egger betrayed himself and nearly wiped out years of planning and waiting, but pulled him back from the edge of the cliff with a military operation so bold and brilliant that he couldn't help but shout!

The change in mood from anger to despair to surprise was so great and so fast that he didn't know for a moment whether to continue to hate or love this damn night watchman. And the change in the complexion of Varys's face, which turned from red to white to blue, made him gloat so much that he laughed in his mind, as for why the green dragon flew to find Egg and threw himself at him, Bolton didn't care for a while, and he didn't want to dig deeper.

"Let me make a big guess, Lord Varys. Old Peel Forced swallowed the laugh that reached his throat, and said seriously with a cold expression as always, "Now, I'm afraid that the queen will change her original arrangement and continue to stay in the north?"

To Bolton's disappointment, Varys shrugged quietly, not at all out of his temper: "The duty of a vassal is to serve, not to speculate on His Majesty's thoughts. The queen's itinerary, only she can make decisions, we don't dare to pack tickets in advance. ”

Indeed, we should not speculate. Bolton nodded in agreement, guessing that the eunuch was just trying to calm down, trying to hold his expression, "But, Lord Varys, as the head of intelligence, must always take into account all possible situations and help the monarch prepare for precautions......, right? In the unlikely event that the Queen cancels her plan to return south, how will she deal with the Starks' conspiracy to 'slay the dragon'?"

＊＊＊

The other party was right, of course Varys knew this, although he didn't soften it at all, but in his heart he already agreed with it: when Daenerys found out that the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch had not fooled her, and had heard his message, she would definitely change her original plan and meet her in a few days, as Iger said, in Winterfell in person!

The reason why he didn't start thinking and responding at the first time was just because he was trying his best to suppress the nameless fire that had ignited in his heart at the moment, and he was trying his best not to make a fool of himself.

As a well-versed and top-level chess player, Varys knows that there are always variables that will emerge in reality, and plans can never be implemented 100% perfectly. And if you want to be the final winner, all you have to do is to be like an emotionless thinking machine, always take as many variables as possible into account and be prepared for precautions, and remain calm and calm when the unexpected is still inevitable, and be able to find a stop loss and solve the problem with a clear head.

Imagine so, but man is not a machine after all, and the patience of any one is ...... There are limits: from the two sudden wars in the Vale and the Six Kingdoms to destroy the lion, to the subsequent changes in the situation in the Seven Kingdoms, especially in Dorne and the Riverlands, to the recent Daenerys who openly flew directly from the south to the land grant to participate in that bullshit final battle......

In the past two or three years, I seem to have been working every day to "plug the loopholes caused by various strange accidents in the plan", and I am so busy that I even have limited energy to set up a new bureau. Right now, when the plan to return to the south, which was finally finalized, is also miscarried again, Rao is incredibly flexible and strong nerves like him are finally a little tense.

Things aren't going well...... It's normal, but there must always be a limit to the frequency of occurrence, right? The reason why accidents are called "accidents" is not because they happen by chance? If the result of a lot of planning is not as good as thinking about nothing, then what is the meaning of conspiracy?

The emotion that was almost violent existed for a second or two, but was finally swallowed and eliminated by unmatched strength of reason and excellent emotional management, and after a long breath, Varys suppressed the tremor in his shoulders and returned to reality.

The planned bankruptcy was a foregone conclusion, and now it was time to find a way to stop the loss and solve the problem.

"Lord Bolton, I have served several dynasties with the infamy of the eight-clawed spider, and I have followed all the way from King's Landing to this northern realm, with the intention of assisting a worthy king to put an end to the long civil strife of the Seven Kingdoms, restore order and peace, and bring stability and happiness to the people. The eunuch changed into an expression of worrying about the country and the people, and suddenly said something completely out of bounds, "What do you think of that Prince Aegon in the south?"

Luce Bolton didn't understand Varys's position in this matter, so he could only cautiously choose not to say anything: "I don't know much, please advise you?"

"The prince and queen are both Targaryens, and both have strong armies, and if they can join forces against the enemy, the turmoil in the Seven Kingdoms can be calmed in an instant...... Otherwise, the great cause of reunification will be far away, and the people of Lebanon will have to suffer from war and chaos for a long time. If Lord Bolton were a confidant of the Queen, what would you advise her to do?"

"Marry Prince Aegon and rule the Seven Kingdoms together?" said the eunuch bluntly, and the old man knew what to say at once, "or at least...... Recognize each other's identities, negotiate the priorities of the monarch and the minister, and unanimously communicate with the outside world. ”

"Yes, it seems that the adults have already thought about it, and this is the best option for Westeros. Satisfied with Bolton's swift and decisive answer, Varys resurfaced with a smile that warmed his face at first sight: "But you know, not everyone is willing to put the national interest first. In the Queen's Seven Kingdoms, inside and outside the court, there were always some families and individuals...... Either for her own selfish interests, or she is self-contained and unable to turn her mind, always trying to block the trend of the times, or encouraging her lust for power and precautionary instinct in His Majesty's ear, preventing her from becoming a good monarch who cares for the people. You say, what are we going to do with such people?"

It took nearly two seconds for Luce Bolton to figure out what Varys was talking about: he was worthy of serving the intelligence chief of the Three Dynasties, and even the original dirty political transactions were packaged like this, and they suddenly became tall and tall - the Stark family, who were unwilling to be loyal to the queen, were "diehards who blocked the tide of the times", and in Daenerys's royal council, the political enemies and opponents who disagreed with the eunuchs were "courtiers who prevented the queen from becoming a good monarch"!

He is willing to help himself deal with and eliminate the Starks and replace them...... And part of the bargaining chips, or part of the price, is to squeeze into the queen's camp and become the new guardian of the north, to stand in the side of Varys as a lord and support his political views of "two dragons are indisputable"!

......

"Lord Varys, you are the most selfless man I have ever seen in my life. "Luce Bolton has no intention of delving into the relationship between Varys and Aegon Targaryen, he is a pragmatic man, and the priority now is to seize the opportunity to tear down the Stark family that has been weighing on his head for thousands of years in one fell swoop, and the rest is all minutiae. He nodded, stared into the eyes of the eunuch, and said solemnly and sincerely: "The stubborn old school that cannot keep up with the times should be eliminated and swept into the garbage heap of history, and those villains who ignore the interests of the kingdom for their own selfish interests are our common enemies!"

"It's over, Lord Burton. Although he hadn't mentioned a word about the specific content of the transaction, Varys knew that the other party understood his subtext - he had formed a strong political alliance with the future guardian of the North in front of him. "Let's put these future things aside for now, and let's get back to the topic we just discussed...... You're right, our beloved queen has so much to worry about, and we, as loyal vassals, naturally have to help her share some of her worries. As for the sinister conspiracy of the Stark family, you must have a mature plan in your mind?"
