Preemptively, then preemptively, is indeed an unbreakable truth!

Fortunately and afraid, this old saying echoed in Egger's mind.

With the presence of Rahlo's gift, he himself would never be tricked, which means that Varys's plan was destined to be impossible to accomplish all its goals. But immune toxins don't mean immortality, and not being poisoned doesn't mean being invincible—even if Egger thinks about it, if this astonishing plan prepared by the eunuchs is carried out on time, the princes of the North and Petyr will be poisoned and killed while partying in the Winterfell City under their control......

Even if he is alive, what kind of god-like operation should he use to clear his suspicion and turn the tide to properly clean up the mess with the entire northern realm that is not dying and separated from Daenerys?

That's far beyond yourself...... Or the range of anyone's ability, just thinking about it, can't contain goosebumps popping up on the arm.

Not only did the opponent's actions start earlier, they were more carefully planned and more discreet, and the pressure to deal with the aftermath was much lighter...... It is not an exaggeration to say that he has surpassed the drama directed by himself in all aspects, but just because the selected time was one day late, this wonderful game of chess, which is a top power player everywhere, was defeated by himself who was slightly inferior in means but decisive enough - the table under the fever of his brain was completely overturned in one fell swoop, and even he turned into a ghost in the long river of history!

......

Harvey obviously thought of this, if before today, he was only admiring Egger's decisiveness and ruthlessness, but after learning that he was almost poisoned by his opponent first and fell victim, he really threw himself into the ground for his own commander-in-chief.

"The adults are like gods, and the admiration of their subordinates is like ....... ”

"Don't be a fool of yourself and be a sycophant. Egger glanced at the captain of the guard - as the helmsman, he could not patronize the shock and joy like his subordinates, and in the middle of his breath, he had already shaken off his useless emotions and thought of a deeper question: "From this incident, we should at least extend our awareness of the existence of two problems, have you ever reflected?"

"Well, the subordinates don't pay enough attention to the lower-level personnel of the land-giving army, so they are unaware of the infiltration by outsiders, so they must pay attention in the future!"

Egg shook his head: "The direction is right, but the thinking is wrong, this matter is not your responsibility." ”

Even he himself didn't prevent this in advance, so how could he criticize his subordinates?

He was able to become the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, not only because he was very powerful, but also because of the scarcity of talent within the defenders of the Great Wall and the lack of competitors who could take the lead. Both the Night's Watch and the Land-Giving Army have long been in a rather simple political environment where they are either friend or foe, and it is really inevitable that they are careless and negligent on issues that have never been taught a lesson. This time, they were lucky – they made a mistake and didn't pay for this fatal negligence, but if they didn't learn their lesson, wouldn't they be like animals?

"People's energy is limited, you are my captain of the guard, do your job well and protect my safety, and you will complete the mission. We have to establish intelligence and security departments as soon as possible, and while the hard power is strong, the soft power is not a short board. You take the time to draw up a rough list of the personnel of the Ministry of Construction, and hand it over to me in the afternoon. ”

It's so boring to play dead, it's good to find something to do. It's time to take political work to heart.

"Makes sense. Harvey nodded, and began to wonder which of the boys in the guard were more agile enough to lend out to form this new department, "What about the second point?"

"You don't use your brain?" Egg gave him a blank look, but didn't really expect him to think of the next one, "That rice would rather kill himself by poisoning than confess anything, and cause us to rely on speculation about everything about his and Varys' poisoning plan, are you just happy and not aware of it?"

"This ...... What else can you realize?"

"He is not even afraid of death, but why is he unwilling to confess the facts and confess to Varys?

"Maybe I think that no matter what I do, I can't escape the disaster anyway, so let's just save some effort. ”

"No, this shows that Varys's death does not mean the end of his forces, and that there are people behind him! The poisoned suicide is either loyal to protect the real mastermind, or afraid to betray him out of fear - so he is unwilling to confess Varys's plan, lest he change his status from a 'victim intelligence chief' to a 'sinister traitor'. In either case, we will have to be careful of this mysterious opponent whose identity is unknown. ”

Harvey frowned, unable to keep up with this leapy train of thought for a long time.

It's no wonder that he can't understand that if it weren't for the huge amount of information advantage brought by the identity of the traverser, even with Egg's own mind, it would be impossible to cross many intermediate steps to directly get the result of the last step. He first knew the truth, and then pretended to make inferences, which made him seem clever and astonishing.

Not only did he know that there was a mysterious opponent behind Varys, but in fact, he even knew the exact identity, starting point, and purpose of this person: Illyrio Mopatis, the wealthy merchant governor of the free trade city-state "Pantos", the "good Samaritan" who once protected the exiled Targaryen siblings, and Prince Aegon was probably not far from him, if not his own son!

This guy is not only a benefactor of the queen to some extent, but he can definitely guess that the real murderer is himself...... However, he was thousands of miles away, and Iger could not convince Daenery to be hostile to this person for no reason, and in all likelihood, he would take over the mantle of Varys and become the greatest potential threat.

......

Harvey shook his head and stopped thinking about Egger's conclusion, he had already remembered one thing anyway: whatever the Commander-in-Chief said and did, it must be right.

"The queen was furious about the prisoner's suicide and ordered that the identity of this person and the mastermind behind it should be ascertained at all costs, but as far as the information available to us could see that the matter was very difficult - apart from the fact that he was "not from Westeros", we knew absolutely nothing about Mizedan, not even where he came from, and the eunuch of Varys had no family or friends to inquire about. The captain of the guard summed up with a smile: "My lord planned to make this matter an unsolved case from the beginning, but the investigation obviously did not follow the script at all, and as a result, the only suspect committed suicide, and it still became a perfect unsolved case, and the gods are really helping us!"

Iger shrugged noncommittally: "I can only say that I am really lucky, I remember that all the follow-up actions arranged earlier were cut down, and all the perjuries prepared were secretly destroyed. ”

"Understood. Harvey agreed, and then remembered something again: "There is one more thing to ask for - how to punish those people in the kitchen who were bribed by Mizedan, who are still in prison?"

"All hanged, hanging on the schoolyard in Winterfell...... No, there are dragons there, so hang them on the side of the road outside the south gate of the castle, in short, make sure that the nobles of the north who come from the south can see them when they enter the city. ”

"Huh?" Harvey startled, "but ...... That's as many as ten people, isn't it too exaggerated to do this for a crime that has not been committed? It is better to kill two key ones to set an example, and the rest of the land to be given back is used as coolies, so as not to waste the population. ”

"A crime not committed?" Egger didn't expect that his guard would be able to pull out such a cohesive word, and he was immediately happy. "Yes, it's an uncommitted crime, but Harvey, you answer me a question: Do you think that the reason why the land giveaways are so disciplined is because they share my ideals and are loyal, or do you rely on me to follow them to the death with love?"

Harvey hesitated for a moment and gave the correct answer: "No, it is by your grace and power, forcibly subduing and coercing south." ”

"That's right, the land-giving army listened to my orders to follow me to the south, not because of loyalty or love, but because they were afraid of me and subconsciously obeyed me, because they knew that if they fought against me, they would really die. If I had to think carefully about the soldiers who collaborated with the enemy: whether this one was not guilty of death, and whether there was any chance of reform, then I would have burned my head for dealing with the internal affairs of the army before I carried the queen to King's Landing. Egg put down the soup bowl in his hand and decided to brainwash this henchman: "It's true that the new land-givers are our people, and it's true that the land-givers are our comrades-in-arms who fought side by side with us to defeat the strangers, but being a hero who saved humanity once doesn't change the fact that they are a savage rabble from outside the world. And what kind of existence are wicked people? That is, if you are gentle, they are vicious, and conversely, if you are vicious, then they will become honest. Not only is it true to lead troops, but life is even more realistic. You are now the captain of my guard, but there will always be a day when you will jump out and lead the army alone, remember this: Ci, not in charge of the army!"
