Wine is poisonous!

In an instant, Varys and Petyr made the same judgment next to each other, and they looked at each other quietly—they were obviously inseparable opponents, but now they were all in the same boat, and in an instant they had the feeling of a rabbit dead and a fox and a wounded thing.

But for the two who were targeted, guessing that there was something wrong with the wine was only the first step to escape, and they had to think about how to refuse to drink it......

Does Iger have a backup plan?

Will he turn to force in anger?

Are the night watchmen prepared for all sorts of countermeasures to the Queen's suspicion and wrath?

The four Unsullied brought by the two outside the door were caught off guard, and could they deal with twice as many of their Land-Grant Army soldiers?

One second ago, it suddenly became an extremely harmonious atmosphere, and the next moment it fell back into the dead silence like a dark ice cave, and the two top power players who had been in the power field for decades were both chilled and stiff, and they began to frantically think of ways to escape and survive.

Varys reached into the hem of his coat with a trembling hand and grasped the dagger hidden in his arms.

You want to kill me? It's not that easy!

The Octopus Spider is known to be the intelligence chief of Kings Aerys Targaryen and Robert Baratheon, but few know about its life before coming to Westeros.

He is not a weak scholar who is pampered and powerless.

Because he has a thin line of true dragon blood in the black fire, he was discovered by a blood mage at a young age and selected as a spell casting material, and watched as the other party cut off his lower body and threw it into the flames to sacrifice to the mysterious being, and received a response.

However, after being driven out of the street to fend for himself with a wound that was not even bandaged, he did not choose to succumb to fate and accept death, but survived strongly, and began to rely on begging, stealing, and even selling his life to survive...... With his brilliant mind and dexterity, he soon became a well-known thief, so skilled and high-profile that he was even systematically ostracized by his peers.

After Mill was targeted, he went to Pantos, where he befriended Illyrio, who was just a minor assassin at the time, and began to learn his lesson and keep a low profile, starting a new business together.

During the difficult years when he rose from thief to thief, then to head thief, and eventually to become a well-known intelligence dealer and landlord, half of Pantos' thieves wanted to kill them, and the other half sold the stolen goods through them...... In the process, Varys not only learned that "information is worth more than gold and precious stones", and thus amassed considerable wealth and ambition, but also learned many ways to deal with others, and summed up a set of basic principles to protect his own life, including extreme caution, careful observation and judgment, and maintaining a certain level of force.

Yes, although he looks bloated and fat, he is actually proficient in using all kinds of weapons, from bed crossbows and trebuchets to slingshots and daggers, and the level is absolutely above average...... Naturally, he can't get on the stage to participate in martial arts competitions, but in a small space, if ordinary people see him as a eunuch and a fat man, they will carelessly despise the enemy, and they will definitely pay the price of blood!

But today, will this little preparation save his life?

Varys' palms are sweating: Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch, Alien Slayer, Hero who led humanity to defeat the dead...... The ruthless character in front of him, who was born as a soldier, has a lot of legendary stories, is said to be among the top ten in the entire Seven Kingdoms, and has been killed from the sea of corpses and blood, is obviously not in the category of "ordinary people" mentioned above. Although the intelligence shows that the legend about this person has a certain amount of moisture, looking at his figure and size, it is obvious that he has armor under his clothes and a steel long sword hanging from his waist......

In the case that the other party is also fully armed and prepared, what are the chances of winning against him?

A point, or not a point?

The Adam's apple squirmed up and down, knowing that today was probably unlucky, but the blood in Varys's chest was aroused: he had been planning for more than twenty years, and he had worked so hard to get to the present, but he didn't come here to be killed by a reckless man with poisoned wine! The Unsullied outside the door estimated that it would be difficult to protect themselves, and in the event of a conflict, the only way out was not to escape, but to take the initiative, as long as they unexpectedly put the knife on Egg's neck so that the soldiers of the Land-giving Army did not dare to mess around, so that they withdrew to the guest room building that was still under the control of the Queen's Guard, and took the head of the Blackshirts as a hostage, he and the Queen still hope to leave Winter unharmed!

Even if there is only half a chance of winning, it is better than death. Even if he is destined to stop there, he will force the other party to use violent means and never let him go his way!

Here, Varys was secretly ready to make a move and decided to fight to the death, while opposite him, Petyr had the opposite idea at all.

He didn't have the twists and turns of Varys's brilliant past, rich and varied experience and skills, and he had long forgotten the crude martial arts he learned in his youth...... As a former ally of Egger, he was neither prepared nor prepared to fight for anything. It's true that he's loyal to Daenerys, but he's not so much that he's willing to die for her, and if Iger is ready to do it, he's a good bird. At the moment, most of this wine is poisonous, but it is not yet a certain whether Iger will not be poisoned, and he has already made a calculation in his heart: Varys will inevitably refuse to drink this wine under the pretext of it, if Iger does not say anything at that time, then he will do the same, and if he turns his face......

He immediately knelt down to show his loyalty, saying that only he could be worthy of the position of Lord of Westeros, and persuaded him to hold the queen hostage so that the Seven Kingdoms could be the uncrowned king.

I just don't know, it's too late to have fun

......

The two people sitting had their own thoughts, but they both made up their plans in an instant, but over there, Egg, who was standing, made another move that the two of them did not expect.

After he said "drink this cup together to celebrate", he actually raised his head and drank it all, and turned the cup back on the table, and then looked at the remaining two with innocent eyes waiting and asking, as if asking with his eyes: Why don't you drink?

What's going on here?

I'm so desperately prepared, you gave me a drink?!

Varys and Littlefinger felt a larger, deeper cloud of suspicion. For those who claim to be smart, there is nothing in the world that makes them more worried and uncomfortable: they finally get rid of the layers of fog and feel that they have figured out the truth of the matter, but they immediately find that this is not the case at all.

Varys tried to hide his surprise, but his eyes couldn't help but widen slightly, as if he wanted to better observe his surroundings and figure out the situation by increasing the area of light:

The wine was poured by the attendant in front of everyone, and he did not play any tricks;

The cup, which he had sat at the table for a moment before Petyr's arrival, was sure that it was clean and that there was nothing pre-placed with poison;

Egger drank all the wine in his cup without leaving a drop in his mouth, leaving it in his mouth or leaking from the corner of his mouth.

Well......

Varys quietly set his eyes on the utensils for pouring wine: he had heard that in the far East, there was a craftsman who had made an intricately constructed poisoned wine jug - it looked nothing unusual on the surface, but there was a hidden mystery inside, and it was ingeniously divided into two compartments, which could be filled with two kinds of wine, and by corresponding to two through holes respectively, it could be controlled to pour any kind of wine it needed with a slight operation by using air pressure.

Unfortunately, the squire left at the end of the table with a very ordinary open flask - there was no closed lid, and the transparent material of the glass made it transparent from the inside and out, and there was no complicated structure at all.

That......

He looked at Egger again - perhaps, the wine was indeed poisonous, but this guy had already swallowed the antidote in advance, so he could drink the poisoned wine without fear, and confuse him into making a wrong judgment and being fooled without warning?

Shaking his head secretly, even Varys himself did not believe this speculation. He was not some ignorant fool, he believed what he heard, he had traveled far and wide about half of the known world, he did not know how many people in the way had been killed by various means, he was a connoisseur of poison, but he had never seen a reliable antidote to a poison that could kill people—it was just something that the bard and his family had imagined to make up stories...... To put it mildly, with the research and understanding of matter by the scholars, doctors, and alchemists in the known world at this stage, human beings only know what can poison people, and they can't even figure out why it can do this, so how can they prepare an antidote?

It is true that some drugs can curb the effect of poison to a certain extent, but at best they can only be regarded as diluting the poison and helping people hang their lives, and they will inevitably leave sequelae after that, with Egger's current big advantage of being able to chop everyone in Winterfell to pieces with a single order, including the queen, could he use his health to make a ploy for the sake of killing himself?

It doesn't make sense.

Excluding all impossibilities, the conclusion is clear: since the other party dares to drink the wine in one go, it means that there is no problem with his glass of wine.

Either Egger poisoned his wine in some way that he had not yet seen and could not think of, which was unlikely, or it was indeed not poisonous, and Egger had just deliberately created an atmosphere that made them all think that the wine was poisonous, so that he and Petyr would be given a hard dismount, so that they would be frightened and brave enough to go out of their way, and they would never have the face and courage to oppose it again!

Think beautifully!

But the truth is, the kid almost did!

Feeling tricked, Varys was instantly relieved from the creepiness of his last moment, and then another evil thought came to him: he hadn't been teased in years since he had been suppressed by Mill's thieves' guild and driven out of the city-state!

Today you will be proud, and tomorrow you will die as ugly and ugly as you want!

Under pressure and full of rage, Varys used what little sanity he had left to make up his mind: even if the cup was only in case it could be poisonous, he would never drink it.

With a look of helplessness and guilt, he shook his head: "Lord Commander-in-Chief, I'm really sorry, I've been unwell lately, this is a good drink...... I'm afraid it's not that blessed. ”
