"If memory serves, our family motto is 'Hear me roar.'" Why, this time I finally found out that whether you roar or not, you have to die, and you are stumped?" Tyrion didn't seem to have the slightest awareness that his family was in danger, and he still smiled hippie, and understood the situation with just one glance at the note: "The path in front of us is now clear: either roar and then be hacked to death by the sword in the roar...... Either bend down and wag your tail, send my dear old brother and sister out and be beheaded, and I will succeed me as Duke of Castle Rock in the future, and let me, the little devil, revive the Lannisters that have fallen from this decline. ”

"Snort. Cersei snorted, and Jaime glared at his brother in displeasure: When is this, and are you still in the mood to make that lame joke about you?

Tywin didn't say a word, just stared at Tyrion until the latter shrugged his shoulders in a self-conscious and boring way: "Well, there's another option, which is to try to reach a compromise with the Iron Throne, so that Jaime, who attacked the monarch, will be dressed in black, and Cersei and his crimes will not be held accountable for lack of evidence." ”

"Compromise has always been a means to be used only if you can't win on the battlefield, this time Robert led six countries to fight one country, why did he spare Jaime's life and spare Cersei?" Kaivon glanced at Tyrion suspiciously: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that as long as the armies of the six countries converge on time and march head-on to the west, there is no need for any strategy or tactics, even if it is only a line to Lannisport, within a month, we will be defeated without a bloody gate." ”

"You're right, uncle, it's impossible for Robert to make such a compromise, so—he'd better get out. Tyrion shook his head regretfully at Jaime, "My dear brother, you didn't stab him to death, but you made the biggest mistake you've ever made in your life." Our good king will not die, and there is absolutely no possibility of resolving this crisis. Rather than debating whether or not to do what the ultimatum calls for, it's better to start thinking now about which of the major trading city-states is suitable for us, which one will protect us from the Iron Throne, and ...... The ship carrying us escaped will be able to reach the other side of the Narrow Sea safely. ”

The blatant discussion of the murder of the monarch made the atmosphere in the hall delicate.

Tywin stared at Tyrion quietly, there were four people in the room, and his dwarf son was the only one he wanted to go with. If it weren't for the poor appearance, it would damage the family's face, and the private life would be a mess...... Tywin really had the idea of leaving Jaime and Cersei behind and Tyrion as his successor, maybe the little demon could really revive the Lannisters in a desperate situation.

Speaking of private life, Jaime and Cersei, who have always been proud of themselves, have done this kind of thing, so who is to dislike Tyrion's love of visiting brothels?

......

"Father, if you can send troops to pick up my brother and sister in time, someone must have sent you a message, there are no outsiders here at the moment, at this critical moment of the family's survival, can you tell me if this messenger is in the Red Fort?"

"Paiselle. Tywin spat out the name with a blank face, "When I was Prime Minister and assisted the Mad King, I worked with him to govern the Seven Kingdoms and put everything in Westeros in order, so we formed a deep friendship. ”

Friendship is naturally nonsense, and the fact that the scholar is his own person is the only one here who knows. Even Kaivon and Cersei only thought that Pixiel had turned to her because of their wealth and status as the king's family, but they never knew that Pixiel had been a Lannister family long before Cersei was born...... Or rather, Tywin's loyal supporter.

This kind of inside information should have been kept secret from even those close to him, but now that the family is in danger of survival, if this crisis cannot be overcome, what is the use of more informant chess pieces?

"It turned out to be him. "No wonder you always get the news first, I'm afraid that before Eddard's pursuers leave King's Landing, the ravens who came to report to you are already on the way...... Let me think...... On the day the war ended, it must have been your loyal 'friend' who tried his best to persuade the Mad King to open the city to welcome our army?"

Both Jaime and Cersei looked at their father in shock, they never imagined that his father still had this line. How many secrets are there in this patriarch of his own family?

Tywin didn't say a word, seemingly acquiescing to the speculation.

Tyrion quickly recovered from his surprise, which was a bit of a surprise to say, but it was completely reasonable: "Now here comes the most important question, Father...... If Pyciel was willing to trick the Mad King into opening the gates of King's Landing for you, will he assassinate Robert for you this time?"

"I'm afraid it's a bit hard. Kai Feng also came back to his senses, "He betrayed the Mad King that day, and the righteousness of 'saving the people of Li from fire and water' can be explained, and now it is our family who suffers in public opinion, who would dare to take such a big risk to assassinate the co-master recognized by the Seven Kingdoms?"

"Paiselle is a scholar, and he must treat Robert's wounds. Isn't it easy to just do something in the medicine you are using, so that the wound can't heal or even worsen?" Tyrion grinned, quickly offering a feasible solution: "When Robert dies and the body is cremated, the Seven Gods can't find out who did it." ”

"Paisel doesn't have the guts. Cersei said, "It's better to go to Braavos and hire the Facelings, they are said to never miss." ”

"The Faceless One is not as godly as folklore, and it is not a simple killer organization, and it kills people when they are given money. Robert is one of Braavos' largest clients in the Iron Vault, and as long as he doesn't pay his debts, it's almost impossible to buy the Faceless One to assassinate Robert. Jaime shook his head at Cersei helplessly, "Even if he could get twice as much cash as he owed, Braavos wouldn't necessarily take an order that might smash the sign." ”

Tywin ignored the conversation with the Golden Child, and continued to stare straight at Tyrion...... He didn't like his dwarf son, but no one dared to deny the wisdom of this little man, at this critical moment, ordinary safe methods could no longer save the family, maybe it was time to make some strange moves.

"Suppose, I mean suppose - now that I have a way to get Robert dead, what do you advise me to do next?" Tywin actually had a plan in mind, but he wanted to be a dwarf in school, and Jaime attacked the king twice, and he was destined to take his place in this life. Tyrion was not the right person, but he was the right person to help: "Once Robert dies, whoever succeeds to the throne will not be able to spare Jaime, the king-killer, and the former queen who has been accused of rumors." ”

......

"One by one, father, if we want the Lannisters to survive this great crisis, we must not take half a wrong step, and we should think about the nearest enemy to us at the moment rather than thinking about the 'next'. It's not good, it's not dark today, and they've landed on the western coast. ”

"Iron Min?" Tywin raised his eyebrows, he had wanted to see if Tyrion could be as thoughtful as he was, who thought that the other party's first sentence woke him up - he had been thinking about how to deal with Robert and the other six nations for the past two days, but he had almost forgotten that there was another enemy who was mediocre in strength, but quite troublesome and close at hand!

"Since Aegon's conquest, the Iron People have been forbidden to travel the Ancient Paths, so that the western coast has been spared the trouble of plundering, and after receiving a safe environment for development, both the commoners and the nobility have become richer, and the Iron People have long coveted it. Kaivon also reacted: "But this time Jaime attacked Robert, and I was afraid that these people who like to rob for a living...... When you get the news, you will immediately board the ship and set sail to raid and plunder the villages and towns along the western border!"

"Someone!" Tywin frowned, realizing that this matter could not be delayed, and without waiting for the meeting to end, he directly called his attendants, and commanded in front of everyone: "Immediately order Lanniport and Fairy Island fleet to leave the harbor and prepare to cruise along the coast in case they are stopped in the nest by the enemy, and inform the families along the western coast to relocate the inhabitants and property assets to reliable castles, and send additional coastal patrol scouts to raise the vigilance to the highest level!"

Cersei wondered, "The ten-day ultimatum has not run out yet, and the Iron People dare to disobey the orders of the Iron Throne and take the lead?"

"Just put pressure on the Lannisters and force us to bow to the Iron Throne, can Eddard still punish them for their quick dispatch after the fight?" If it weren't for Cersei being the one involved, Tywin would really want to invite his daughter back to her room, she couldn't help her here, so she liked to interject: "No matter how bad it is, as long as you don't admit that the raiders are the people of the Iron Islands, who can help them in this troubled world?"

"Father, you are really resolute. Tyrion smiled and flattered, "Look at you, you will never hand over my brother and sister to beheading, if so, you should think about how this war should be fought." Should we wait for the armies of the six nations to assemble in place and fight a large-scale decisive battle on the plains with them, or should we take the initiative to attack, avoid the enemy's edge, and attack their vital points? If we want to strike first, which one should we choose?"

"Take the initiative?" Cavon was taken aback by Tyrion's proposal: "We are the weaker side in the first place, if we really make the first move, then there will be no room for turn, there is only a dead end!"

"Uncle is right, the first move is a dead end. But what my father had just said was, 'If he could kill Robert.' Tyrion drank the wine in his glass: "My point is very simple, Robert does not die, no matter how much we toss, we are dead." But if Robert is dead, the one who strikes first will still have an advantage, and now, I ask seriously: Father, don't assume that you have a way to kill Robert, even if it is only possible?"

"For the sake of the family's future, you have to take any kind of risk, and there are still a few people in the Red Fort who are not surnamed Lannister, I can contact them, and now I can only try it regardless of life or death. Tywin stared at Tyrion, and this time asked seriously, "What else is there to suggest besides guarding against the Iron People, don't sell it again, let's talk about it together." ”
