Chapter 154: Win or Die
The King's Landing garrison continued to harass and disrupt the normal functioning of the Night's Watch property on the first day of Tyrion's claim of "Three Days", until Tyrion showed his face and pretended to retreat. But Slint was not completely without a source of information after all, and by the next day, with the strange change in the direction of the wind, he had ordered the golden robes to stop moving.
In the garrison's east camp, the commander was sitting in his office, discussing with his henchmen the mysterious visitor who had just left.
......
"Is that the Queen's man?" asked Aral Tim, Slint's number one henchman, in astonishment, "what did the Queen send for you?" β
"I was given a great giftβthe man told me that the queen's dwarf brother was working with the night watchman named Egger to convince many of the royal nobles to put a bunch of sins on me by the prime minister's real name, and to remove me from the position of commander of the garrison. Slint said with a stiff expression: "No wonder when I went to a few shops yesterday, I felt that they were not as polite as usual, it must be that the master behind them instructed them to report me with their real name!"
"Huh?" Aral couldn't turn around, "how could the queen care about such a thing, and she's Tyrion's own sister, why would she betray her brother to help us?"
"Wouldn't it be normal for the queen to have some eyeliner in the palace and know some inside information?" Genos's face was gloomy, and he began to realize that he might not be able to get along with the Night's Watch office, "As for why you want to help me...... Hehe, she wants to bribe me to rebel for her, kill the king and drive out the prime minister, and push her son who doesn't know whose seed to come to power. The advantage promised to me is that after the matter is completed, all these reports will be suppressed, and I will be crowned a nobleman. β
"Rebellion?" Aral was startled: "So, the rumors about her and her brother are true, and now that the king has returned, he can't hold back his adultery and is ready to fight?"
"Looks like that's the case, Arral, if you're the commander of the garrison, will you agree?"
"My lord, this ...... I'm afraid it won't work, King Robert, all the brothers in our garrison know each other, and when he arrives at His Majesty, he will shout casually, and the brothers will surely tie us up and hand us over to the king immediately. β
Aral Dim stammered, in fact, this is not only a matter of the soldiers knowing the king, as long as the officers are strong enough to command, and the benefits are enough, what kind of king cannot be overthrown? But the current situation is: on the one hand, the founder of the country with great martial arts and unparalleled prestige, the lord of the seven kingdoms who pays the salaries of all the soldiers of the garrison, and on the other hand, the commander of the garrison who is inconsiderate of his subordinates and likes to deduct the salaries of his brothers...... Who would follow a mad dog that turns around and bites its owner?
Half of the soldiers in the garrison were loyal to the king's princes, and most of the remaining thousand hated the commander...... Even if the more than 100 brothers of the garrison Dongying were loyal to Slint, how could this shallow loyalty, which was only maintained by "normal pay", drive them to rebel against the king?
Slint knew this, and he nodded: "I don't think it can be done either, the king summoned me two days ago, didn't he already mean to do something to the Lannister family? Your Majesty has a precautionary heart for the queen, and the brothers in the garrison are afraid that they won't even be able to enter the door of the Red Fort without the king's order, and we don't have siege equipment, so let's make a fart? Cersei, this girl is dying by herself, and she wants to pull me on her back, I bah!" If one of those three evil seeds is Lao Tzu, I may still accompany her to do a big vote, and she has never slept with me, what do I want to do for her?"
Al breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that the adult did not agree. β
"I agreed. β
"Huh?!"
Schlint glared at his henchman: "Idiot, if you agree, you will do it, I can still report to Your Majesty and make meritorious contributions!"
"I see!" Al breathed a sigh of relief, "But in that case, how do you plan to deal with the Night's Watch and the dwarf's means of bringing you down?"
"Hmm...... Simple. The rumors that Tyrion and his sister are not on good terms are true, and it is ridiculous that the Lannisters themselves are not talking to each other and are still singing their own plays at this critical moment of life and death. Slint's face flashed, "Since that 'Night's Watch Property' is messing with me, you say, I told the King at this time that in fact, the owner of the Night's Watch Property is Tyrion Lannister, and the Queen once found someone to try to bribe me and murder him, what will Your Majesty think?"
Aral Diem thought for a moment and shook his head.
Your Majesty will definitely think that it was the queen who bribed me and failed to instruct her brother to want to remove me from power!"
"Makes sense!"
"As long as the king believes in me, I will buy myself time. Genos Slint took a deep breath, he hadn't experienced such a catastrophe in yearsβhe hadn't expected a small Night's Watch industry to have this kind of energy, and he was careless: "It's just a woman, Egg and Tyrion, they actually want to kill me, since they strike first, then don't blame me for being unkind!"
Didn't you make a mess first, and didn't you allow others to retaliate? Aral Diem said secretly in his heart, but after all, he was in the same boat as Slint, and he had to help his eldest brother: "My lord, what to do, you can say it." β
"Kill both of them, and the idiots who want to bring me down with them will naturally be in a mess. A rabble of people who came together to make money, as long as the leader died, the rest would definitely only care about competing for the big fat piece of the Night's Watch industry, and they didn't have time to pay attention to me. Slint said through gritted teeth. "In order to protect a chick and fight against me, Lao Tzu killed you, not only sleeping with her, but also forcing her to snatch a copy of the inheritance of the Night's Watch property for me, spend your money to sleep with her, and spend your money to raise a son for me!"
"Good idea, sir, I heard that Nina is in charge of accounts in the Night's Watch estate, and it couldn't be easier to take her and let her get some money for you!" Al Diem was surprised, but then hesitated, "But my lord, these two guys are not like the two fools who promised Jon Arryn to testify against you last year, and it's not right at this time- His Majesty ordered us to put our garrison in order to be ready for use at any time two days ago, and we are now mobilizing our brothers to take revenge on ourselves and killing two figures with heads and faces...... Moreover, the prime minister's side has already started an investigation, so we can't kill the prime minister too, right?"
"Then don't let the brethren in the garrison do this, what about your fox friends, let them do it!" Slint frowned and pondered, "Prime Minister, as long as I go and tell Your Majesty: 'The Lannisters are ready to rebel and will do it at any time, please make a decision as soon as possible'...... With His Majesty's quick temper, he will definitely strike first. As long as there is turmoil in the Red Keep, and the lions, wolves and deer bite together, do you think the Prime Minister still has the kung fu to care about my small role?" he gradually showed a smug expression on his face, "When we help King Robert take down the Lannisters and control King's Landing, even if the Prime Minister continues to investigate, the big deal will be offset by merit and demerit...... Not to mention that I will definitely have to fight with Duke Tywin next, who has the heart to check on me!"
"My lord is so strategic!" For the first time, Aral Diem discovered that his eldest brother had such a mind in addition to being ruthless, and this plan was seamless!
"It's not that I have a good plan, it's that you're so stupid, I have to figure it out on my own! Okay, do it as soon as possible, I want those two guys who don't know what to do to die today! The more they live, the more danger I will lose my head!" Slint was also proud that he had come up with such a perfect plan, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he added: "Wait, Tyrion don't touch him, this is a Lannister after all, it's better to wait for His Majesty's instructions to come." His father, Tywin, is in the West, after all, and if he makes some deal with our king in exchange for his children and grandsons, and then we have to track down the death of this dwarf son, then we may be sold by Eddard Stark's rigid things. β
After all, the deterrent effect of "Casterme's Rainy Season" is too strong, and even the commander of the garrison in King's Landing is a little afraid of Duke Tywin's revenge.
"Okay, my subordinates will do it. β
"Come back, hurry!" Slynt patted the table, "There's one more thing, I don't say you can't think of it." This Egger West turned out to be a Night's Watch Ranger, and also had the nickname 'Alien Slayer', and it was said that he was able to beat Prince Dorne's 'Red Viper' dozens of moves. It's okay for your hooligan friends to bully and bully the common people, can you deal with this kind of hard stubble? I'll give you a slip, go to the arsenal and get two crossbows out, and smuggle them out to your friends, and tell them to spend some time practicing before they do it!"
"Yes!"
Aral Tim left the garrison commander's office with his crossbow and arrows, while Genos Schlint stood up and walked slowly to the window.
......
This time, if it weren't for Cersei's timely delivery of key information, she would have almost capsized in this gutter, and I really have to thank her. It's a pity that it's impossible to pull yourself into the rebellion that wants to lose your head...... Game of Thrones makes these damn aristocrats play, people like themselves who are not born and have no background, it is enough to hug a thigh, there is an old mother and a bunch of wives and children, and a crazy woman who sleeps with her brother fights the world?
This is the Seven Gods who favor themselves, looking at the night watchman's office that is busy across the street, Slint sneered: Soon, there will be another woman in his harem, and the more difficult it is to get a woman, the more enjoyable it will be, as long as this girl doesn't have the stupid idea of avenging her boss or something, she will definitely pamper her.
