The conversation paused, and the wind took over the world again.

After a few seconds of silence, Egger recovered from the shock.

It's not that he can't analyze what Littlefinger just said, but because he has been in the north for a long time and doesn't know much about the real-time situation in the south, and he has spent too much energy and mind on dealing with the northern border and formulating a plan to flatten the Seven Kingdoms, he has slightly lost in vigilance.

Self-soothing is self-soothing, but there are two things that Iger has to admit:

One, in terms of political sensitivity and power scheming, Petyr is indeed much stronger than himself as an old player - without the blessing of the information of the traverser, even if he puts him in the position of Littlefinger and has the same intelligence, he will have to think at least one night and the second day of dawn to straighten everything out, and he will never be able to start pulling in helpers just a few minutes after the meeting is over like him;

Second, despite his dislike and even some instinctual disgust, Petyr is indeed his ally at the moment - although this guy may be just another type of traitor, but unlike Varys, who has two boats to retreat and ties his life and future to Daenerys, at least for now, he is truly loyal to the queen.

Case......

Egger switched to a serious face: "If this speculation is true, then aren't you, me, and Your Majesty all in danger at this moment?" Lord Petyr...... Is there a good way to deal with it?"

He's going to hear what this guy has to say—not all of it, of course, and let him fiddle with it like a marionette, but for reference, there's no shortage of meat!

"Honestly, there's nothing too good to do...... This speculation must not be told to the Queen, and if you say this at this moment, Your Majesty will only think that we are narrow-minded and slandering and framing dissidents, and if we can't do it, we will cause a lot of commotion. At the moment, I can only see the moves, first stabilize my position, and then expect the opponent to make a mistake in the busy and reveal the flaw. Littlefinger sighed, turned his head to stare at the night watchman, his eyes shining slightly in the gradually enveloping night: "However, against this kind of old fox, I am really not sure of victory alone. As the shield of the kingdom and the guardian of humanity, the Lord Commander-in-Chief cares about the people of the Seven Kingdoms, and must be a loyal and reliable person, I am thinking: Maybe you and I can work together to prevent our common monarch from stepping into the trap of traitors. ”

Sure enough, it came.

Ruce Bolton was already a good opponent and there was no room for maneuver, and Varys probably didn't think he was upset...... In the big mud pit in front of the queen, it is obviously a fool's dream to want to be alone. Today, this team can't stand, and there is clearly nothing to think about when it comes to friend and foe, so it's time to make a simple statement.

A large number of thoughts flashed through his heart, but less than half a second had actually passed, and Iger seemed to nod without hesitation, full of righteousness: "Everything is for the Queen!

......

The sky finally darkened, and the torches and charcoal basins scattered throughout the castle cast the shadows of the building in all directions, bypassing the sanctuary, and the two began to walk back the way they had come while discussing how to "protect the queen" as they stepped over the swaying silhouettes of the shadows that had twisted into various strange shapes.

"The commander-in-chief is from a military background, and he may not know the tricks and tricks in the power field, so it is better for you and me to divide and cooperate and perform our own duties - in the next few days, my lord, you just need to use the contacts and connections you run in the Northland, and complete the task of 'making the North recognize the Queen' as soon as possible. My Majesty will be in charge of it, and I will make the Queen relax a little in a suitable way, and at the same time keep an eye on Varys to prevent him from playing tricks on us again. Being caught off guard by this old eunuch will never happen a second time, at least it can ensure that adults don't have to worry about the threat from behind. ”

Without a few words of nonsense, Petyr proposed a rough plan, apparently already in mind: "Of course, the above is only a rough assignment of tasks, and it does not mean that you cannot meet the queen during this time, or that I will not provide any help in the matter of gathering the northern army." Forgive me for not thinking of any more ideas for a while, but the problem at hand isn't something that can be solved overnight, so let's be prepared for the month we'll stay in Winterfell and not move our nest. As friends and partners against common enemies, we need to maintain close communication and exchange of views with each other to help each other through this difficult time. ”

"That's nature!" Iger nodded repeatedly, making himself look like a little brother. Petyr's real life is much more shrewd than the lewd man in the TV series, he is an ally at the moment, but there is no guarantee that he will become an opponent one day...... As a vassal of the Queen, Iger is really not sure that he can defeat this level of high-level play purely by political means, but if the day of the enemy inevitably comes, he is a simple-minded pure martial artist with only some cleverness and luck in his eyes, then he may be able to use this contempt to catch him off guard.

And if he wants to achieve this, he will have to regain the old skill that he has not used for a long time from today - to rein in the edge and learn to hide clumsiness.

On the last leg of the road, the two continued to communicate more details on the division of labor, discussing possible ways to fulfill the Queen's request, during which Egg nodded and echoed most of the time, neither stealing the limelight nor pretending to be stupid, and finally the two agreed that it was impossible to achieve 100% of the Queen's task. The most reasonable and possible solution for the time being is to try to get the support of as many northern nobles as possible – it doesn't matter whether they want it or not, and then try to convince the queen and agree that this is the best thing that can be achieved.

"By the way, there is one more thing I have to remind the Commander-in-Chief. Half a second after the two ended their talks in a cordial and friendly atmosphere and said goodbye to each other, Petyr, who had already turned his head, suddenly turned around and said with a serious face: "The nobles of the northern realm can fight for as much as they can, and don't deceive." You let the Landgrant soldiers pretend to be Winterfell guards, I know, and Varys can see it...... But this move can still be interpreted as your intention to protect Your Majesty's safety, even if the Queen knows about it, she will not be angry. But you must not instruct your subordinates to pretend to be the rest of the northern nobles to 'surrender', the queen hates to be deceived the most in her life, even if you are for her good, once you are discovered, the gains will outweigh the losses, this is a lesson in blood...... Remember, remember!"

......

Do I look that stupid?

Egger didn't pretend to be stunned for a moment, and then quickly nodded: "Thank you Prime Minister for reminding me, I remember." ”

It didn't matter whether Littlefinger was showing off his tricks or if he was really out of concern for his "ally and little brother", but it was imperative to find a way to get out of the cold castle of Winterfell and throw himself into the wider battlefield in the south. And if you want to solve the problem in front of you, I'm afraid it will really take a lot of brains.

Joining the guards who were far behind him, Iger pondered as he walked towards his quarters in the castle. The new opponent is so difficult, the new mission is so tricky, and so much brain space and resources are taken up that the next person who comes to him calls him several times before bringing him back to reality.

"Lord Egger!" a petite man looked up at him, as if wondering if his voice was too low or if the man didn't want to pay attention to her.

"Miss Maeve?...... Sorry, thinking about things. ”

A smile welled up on Egger's face - not pretending this time. Messira has a talent aura that everyone loves, and although he has crossed over and is a goddess agent, he is a human ...... It is no exaggeration to say that meeting this smart and lovely little princess face to face, even just talking, made his suppressed heavy mood much happier.

After the initial relaxation, a wave of guilt struck his heart, and he suddenly realized that the little girl in front of him not only risked the danger to sneak out of the city to deliver important information, but even did a bad thing that required great courage and trust on the night of the siege of the land grant, which greatly reduced the casualties and time required for Iger to defeat Lindong. Obviously, he has made such a great achievement, but he has been busy these days, either commanding and dealing with the menacing northern reinforcements outside the city, or comforting and caring for the Stark family, who have actually become his hostages, and he has completely forgotten about this "little Neiying...... I didn't even take out the time to talk to her alone, express gratitude, ask about wishes, and relieve the psychological pressure that may be burdened!
