Chapter 106: Petyr Berish

Petyrberg stood on the deck, indifferently watching the direction of the ship. The fog on the sea gradually receded, and the bow of the June Flower rowed through the gray-green water and moved forward steadily...... As a row of rocky ridges with gaps rose from the sea, the Titans' massive form came into view.

The humanoid fortress had stood here for hundreds of years, his stone legs on either side of the ridge gap, each stepping on a boulder, the same texture as the black granite reef where he stood, perhaps even carved from the rock itself, a green bronze battle skirt around his waist, a bronze cuirass, a bronze half-helmet with a crown on his head, his flowing hair made of green twine, his eyes were two caves in which a fire was burning, one of his hands was on the ridge on his left, his bronze fingers pinched a boulder, and his other hand reached to the sky and grasped the hilt of a broken swordใ€‚

Braavos' Titan, probably the largest humanoid statue in the world, is a sight to behold, even if military functions are not considered. But Petyr didn't look at it much, this was not the first time he had come to Braavos, in fact, his great-grandfather was a mercenary swordsman from Braavos, but later the son of the mercenary swordsman, who was also Petyr's grandfather, swore allegiance to the Bray family to become a knight, and Westeros had an additional Bale family.

To commemorate the place where his great-grandfather was born, raised, and learned swordsmanship, Grandpa chose the head of the Titan as his family crest when he became a knight...... It's really ironic, why can't you choose the Titan as your family crest, but you can't give birth to your offspring like the Titan? If you weren't so short and thin, how could you be bullied from childhood to adulthood, and be called "Little Finger"?

"Littlefinger", hehe, it was Caitlyn who first started calling herself that, only Nanagami knew how much she liked to be called so, what a beautiful and warm time it was, but alas......

Petyr shook his head and shook the memories of the past out of his head, he knew very well that no matter how tall and majestic he was, the moment he decided to fight Brandon Stark for a woman, he was doomed to fail, and this had nothing to do with size and martial arts, but to be determined by class. And people can't choose their own birth.

He never thinks about meaningless things, and instead of being sentimental, what he is trying to figure out day and night is who is secretly dealing with him.

If the "last words of Sir Xiufu" on that piece of paper were a hammer to crush his ambitions and plans, then the person holding this hammer really made Petyr feel terrified that he did not show any trace from beginning to end, but at the most critical moment, he hit his own death hole in the most fatal way, so that he was not only ruined, but also dismantled all kinds of back-up arrangements!

......

Yes, Jon Arryn had killed herself, but that wasn't what was planned. She had originally intended to lure Cersei into poisoning Jon Arryn, but the stupid woman didn't get things done until Duke Arryn was ready to make a showdown with Robert, capture her and her brother's lover, and mobilize the Six Nations to go to war against the Lannisters. Only then did he force himself to use the hole card of Lysa in advance to carry this catastrophe for her.

One step later, the Lannisters would have been defeated by the old man of the Arryns, and they would not be able to turn over for decades, and Westeros would be at peace for decades after a brief war. It's a pity that the person next to the pillow thought about flying with other men but didn't notice it...... At this point, Jon Arryn died unjustly at all.

......

That's right, Xiufu also killed himself, in order to put another smoke bomb on Eddard Stark's investigation and lead the water back to the Lannisters. It wasn't complicated to do it: first to get Robert to reward him with a nominal knighthood for the sake of Hugh's "many years of service to the old prime minister", then to make the young man "make a fortune" by some means, so that he had the financial resources and equipment to participate in jousting tournaments, and then, to whisper a few words in Cersei's ear, to make the woman think that Xiufu might know about his special relationship with Jaime......

In the end, at Cersei's "request", manipulate the results of the draw of lots for the tournament to select the opponent, and the matter is so appropriate.

Everything was so easy, Cersei's stupid woman, who obediently took the bait at the slightest puff, actually sent a guy like Gregor with a Lannister label on his head to come out and the young man was ...... Now he doesn't even have to bother to speak, and Eddard Stark, a brainless northerner, is suspected of being a Lannister himself.

There were a few twists and turns in the plan, but it was still going smoothly on the whole, and with a little inducement, the conflict between the lions and wolves could be triggered, and then the opportunity would come again, killing Robert, the foolish king, and pitting the Baratheon family against each other, and the six kingdoms could not be twisted into a rope...... Then whoever can win will help whichever side, and the huge plan to take advantage of the chaos will be officially launched!

But the sudden appearance of "Sir Xiu's Testament" destroyed everything, those notes were by no means written by Xiufu, he had never had a secret affair with the woman Lysa after arriving in King's Landing, and even the last few secret discussions on important matters were carried out quietly through secret passages in the middle of the night, hiding from everyone, and it was impossible for anyone to find out.

Who the hell is it?

Cersei and Eddard don't have the same scheming or scheming, Paisher is just a dog of the queen and can't do anything but rely on the old and sell the old, Lan Li doesn't know anything, and Stannis is ready to gather an army to put down the Lannister rebellion and become the heir to the Iron Throne, if he knew anything, he would never have watched Jon be killed by himself...... Could it be Varys?

For some purpose that he didn't seem to know, Octopus didn't seem to want the Lannisters to be brought down too soon, and when Jon Arryn and Stannis began to investigate the origins of Robert's bastard and Cersei's children, Varys, who discovered this earlier, even volunteered to provide information to Cersei...... For the rest of the year until Jon was poisoned, the eunuch continued to provide information to Cersei.

There is no doubt that in terms of intelligence acquisition ability, the octopus spider is indeed above itself, but ...... Poisoning Jon, it is true that only himself and Lysa have been responsible for poisoning Jon, and they have not found any helpers. If he still finds out even though he is so protective of Varys, then he is a god, not an octopusal spider and a dead eunuch.

His instincts told Petyr that it was unlikely that Varys had done this, but after a long struggle, he finally decided to put the blame on the eunuch. I really can't think of anyone else in King's Landing who can destroy his plan with such vicious and sharp means, whether he guesses correctly or not, a visible enemy is much better than a mysterious opponent who can't be seen or touched.

Arryn Valley was originally his final hole card and an escape place in case of defeat, but now it has become a dangerous place that must not be visited with the chaos of the Alliance of the Righteous...... The only thing to be thankful for is probably that because of this incident, he accidentally got out of house arrest and got the opportunity to escape and ascend to heaven.

After locking yourself up for so many days, and then allowing yourself to continue borrowing money for the Iron Vault, these damned nobles still have the same contempt for themselves as ever.

No matter who wins or loses this counterinsurgency war, Westeros is now a very dangerous place and must not be returned, and as for the money in the iron vault, no smart person will use his brain...... Fortunately, he still has a secret asset in Braavos, and the money after selling it is enough for him to live for the rest of his life, as long as he gets rid of the henchmen sent to him by Robert as soon as possible, and escapes from Braavos, with the current wealth of the Iron Throne and Eddard Stark's connections, he can't hire anyone to hunt him down and extradite him back to China.

As for the next, whether to live the rest of your life incognito and humiliation, or to find a thigh to hug and try to make a comeback, that's another story.

Viserystan Glulian seems to be a good option, but the intelligence shows that he doesn't seem to have a good brain, and it's unclear where he is for the time being...... Wait, let's settle down and think about it slowly, now, all my hard work has been wasted and I have to find a place to vent my resentment that Varys seems to be trying to keep the peace of the Seven Kingdoms, since you have become my chosen imaginary enemy, then whether it is you who spread the rumors or not, don't think about it.

How...... Since you have been overthrown by rumors, you can use the same method to return the chaos to your enemies!

......

The wind and waves pushed the Juneflower, and the ship under its feet approached the titan smoothly and quickly, the sea water was stirred into white foam by the hull, and the shadow of the giant became obscured in the next second, and they entered the harbor of Braavos.

Petyrberg stopped his thoughts, turned to the two attendants sent by Robert to "escort" him with a smile: "It will be His Majesty the King who will repay the money in the future, but the representative of us who will borrow money is the Lord." As is customary, the Iron Vault must have prepared a place for us to stay, and the women of Braavos are famous all over the world, and we can't afford to play with the highest courtesans, so a little inferior is not a problem. Since you're here, you can't miss it, all the costs are borne by me, the two brothers have worked hard along the way, enjoy it. โ€
