140 Individual means

The crowd exited the room.

"How long will he live?" Duke Ed asked.

"It depends on the will of the gods." Paisher sighed, "Actually, it's a miracle that he's been able to hold on until now." ”

"Robert! How's Robert! Queen Cersei strode over, holding her son, Prince Joffrey, in one hand, followed by her younger brother, Jaime Lannister.

"Your Majesty has just made a will, and he has already drunk poppy milk and fallen asleep. ”

"He made a will?" Queen Cersei suppressed her anger, "Why don't you call me!" ”

Several ministers bowed their heads and did not speak.

Duke Ed clearly told himself that he couldn't show anything unusual, but he still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, he stepped forward and asked:

"Queen, when Your Majesty is dying, why didn't you accompany you? Do you want us to send someone to invite us? ”

This is indeed the queen's fault, but Cersei's attitude is still tough:

"Do you want me to stay in that smelly room for seven days and seven nights? Don't take a shower or eat? I've only been away for a while, and you've made your will, Lord Eddard, you're really going to pick the time! ”

Duke Ed really didn't want to mess around with this woman, he was worried that he couldn't control the anger in his heart and let the other party see the clues, so he strode past the queen and coldly threw down a sentence:

"In that case, let's go with the king, he's not dead yet."

Cersei wasn't ready to let him go: "Wait! What about wills? Let me see. ”

"The will shall be read by the Council of the Queens after the death of the king." Duke Ed put the parchment behind him, feeling more and more disgusted by the unscrupulous woman in front of him.

Cersei smiled disdainfully and warned in an arrogant tone, "Alright, Lord Eddard, you can take that piece of paper and see if it can bring you power." ”

Duke Ed didn't bother to pay any more attention to the woman, turned around and left.

"Mother, let's go see Father!" Prince Joffrey said with tears in his voice.

Cersei only stared at the back of Duke Eddard's departure, gritted her teeth secretly, and only shook off her son's hand for a while, and said coldly:

"You're going to go yourself."

With that, the queen strode away without going to the king's bedchamber at all.

Duke Ed walked out of the Meggor Tower and called out to several important ministers behind him.

He first said to the scholar Pythier:

"Lord Paisier, Your Majesty has to ask you to bother more these days, try to ...... Alleviate his pain. ”

"I will, Lord Eddard."

Then Duke Ed looked at the intelligence director Varys:

"Lord Varys, keep an eye on what's going on in the city, and report anything unusual to me immediately."

"Yes, Lord Eddard."

Duke Ed looked at the Minister of Justice, Duke Lan Li, and said:

"Lady Lysa still refuses to come to King's Landing, this trial will be postponed for the first time, and when His Majesty's funeral is over, we will discuss countermeasures."

Duke Lan Li seemed to have a different opinion:

"Lord Eddard, if you go and invite, Lady Lysa won't come, then no one will be able to invite her. In this case, I think it is better to hold a trial directly and convict the 'Red Viper', so that His Majesty can leave with peace of mind. ”

Duke Ed hesitated, but shook his head.

In front of him came the hideous face of Queen Cersei and her words of warning.

He felt that he should deal with the queen first and avenge the king, which was the most reassuring way for him to go.

"Don't worry." Duke Ed made a decision, "Wait until after the funeral." ”

Duke Lan Li shrugged his shoulders and did not continue to insist.

Finally, Duke Ed looked at the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Petyr Berish, and said, "Lord Petyr, you come with me." ”

The two of them took a few steps, but Duke Ed never spoke, as if he was hesitating about something.

"Lord Eddard." Petyr took the initiative to speak, "If you are worried about the cost of His Majesty's funeral, leave this to me......"

"Nope." Duke Ed shook his head, and finally said his thoughts, "Do you know the commander of the capital garrison?" ”

"Sir Genos Slint, of course I know, we often drink together and visit the women's ward." There was a glimmer in Petyr's gray-green eyes, "Lord Eddard, do you want his help?" ”

Duke Ed hesitated for a moment, he actually didn't like the person "Littlefinger" very much, and felt that he was too slippery and annoying, but after thinking of his wife's words before leaving, he still nodded and said, "Yes." I fear that the king's death will cause chaos, so I need to make sure he follows my commands. ”

"It's easy." Petyr snapped his fingers, "That's a greedy fellow, if you give him enough golden dragons, you can make him do anything." ”

Duke Ed suddenly lost his favor with Genos, but he also knew that at this sensitive time, it was better not to remove the commander of the capital garrison easily, so he held back his anger and asked:

"How many golden dragons do you need?"

Petyr smiled: "Thirty thousand golden dragons." 10,000 to Genos Slint and 10,000 to his soldiers. ”

"And ten thousand?"

"In my pocket, of course." Seeing Duke Ed's anger, Petyr hurriedly explained, "It's the final payment, the final payment, do you understand!" Give it all at once, will they still listen to your orders? Eddard, you really don't have a sense of humor. ”

"The king is dying, you tell me about a sense of humor?" Duke Ed said coldly, paused for a moment, he seemed to be a little hesitant, but still asked, "Can you get 30,000 gold dragons?" ”

"Absolutely." The corners of Petyr's mouth turned up, "Although there are only rats left in the treasury, I am the Minister of Finance, and I can conjure a golden dragon with a snap of my fingers." ”

Duke Ed was really in no mood to make a joke about Libertyr, and he didn't want to have anything to do with bribery, so he waved his hand and said impatiently:

"Petyr, I'll leave this matter to you! Make sure the capital garrison obeys my orders! ”

"Wrap it up on me!" Petyr bowed gracefully and smiled brightly.

——————————

In the room with closed doors and windows, there was a golden light that could brighten the blind.

On a hill made of golden dragons, Samwell reclined lazily, like a dragon guarding a treasure.

It's a pity that he is not guarding, but devouring.

These golden dragons are also the championship rewards of his martial arts competition.

As one golden dragon after another was sent into Samwell's mouth, his power attribute slowly but surely continued to rise.

Samwell had already felt the urgency of the coming rain, so it was naturally impossible to keep these golden dragons, and it was the wisest choice to convert them into strength at this time.

While devouring, he was also thinking about the current situation.

"Littlefinger's" counterattack did surprise Samwell, this guy is really a master at creating chaos, but fortunately, the situation is not completely out of control.

He can actually guess that "Littlefinger"'s next plan must be to throw the pot of the king's death on the Lannister family, which is actually very easy to do, after all, in the previous operation, the Lannister family did show some horse feet, maybe these horse feet are the clues deliberately left by "Little Finger".

In this way, he can guide Duke Ed to suspicion, and even provoke a lion and wolf war against the Lannisters.

And since "Littlefinger" himself was involved in planning the death of the king, he will inevitably pretend to help the wolf family, but in reality, he will definitely end up on the side of the lion, as in the original book.

He will even plot to let Duke Eddard die in King's Landing, so that the Seven Kingdoms will definitely be in chaos.

Samwell, of course, didn't want "Littlefinger" to succeed, and if the Seven Nations were to fall into chaos at this time, it would do more harm than good to him.

He still wanted to direct the waters of trouble to Dorne instead of disturbing the entire Seven Kingdoms.

So the best way is to let the "red viper" shoot as soon as possible.

But this poisonous snake seems to have learned to be obedient, and he has endured it until now, which makes Samwell quite surprised.

Is this still the irascible and fierce "Red Viper"?

Or has this guy become more cautious after suffering a loss in Starfall City last time?

In fact, Samwell had several options to sabotage Littlefinger's plan, but this was the safest and most in his interests, and it was his first choice.

It seems that we have to "urge" this poisonous snake.

Of course, you can't go directly to see Prince Oberon, the first time you can be confused, and the second time you go again will be too easy to arouse the suspicion of the other party.

You have to think of a different way......

Samwell stuffed the golden dragon into his mouth with a blank face as his brain raced.

Finally, the handsome face of Ranley Baratheon came into view.

Yes, you can go to Lan Li!

When Samwell heard that the king had made his will, it was Duke Lanli who was on his side, not Duke Eddard.

He immediately realized that there was something wrong with it.

Don't look at Duke Lanli as the king's own brother, but the only person Robert really trusts is Eddard Stark.

In the original book, it was also a will written by Duke Ed for the king.

Although Duke Ed went to Eagle's Nest City this time, the king may be worried that the other party will not be able to come back, so he asked his younger brother to make a will.

But Samwell still thinks it's more likely that Ranley Baratheon is doing something ghostly.

The king's younger brother may be eager to take part in this Game of Thrones.

In this way, it also gives Samwell the opportunity to take advantage of it......

While constantly stuffing the golden dragon into his mouth, Samwell's brain was also running wildly, and soon, a plan quietly took shape.

Samwell stood up from the pile of gold coins.

He had eaten it for so long just now, and it was estimated that he had eaten nearly 30,000 golden dragons, and the originally spectacular "hill" had shrunk by half.

The stomach doesn't feel anything, maybe it was directly "digested", but the throat is very uncomfortable, and the mouth is bitter.

Fortunately, the strength stat has been increased to 6.74.

However, due to the large amount of golden dragons devoured, its effectiveness is also rapidly decaying, and now he must eat more than two hundred golden dragons to increase his strength by 0.01, which really makes Samwell's heart ache.

At this rate, considering the attenuation, even if he ate all the remaining nearly 10,000 golden dragons, he might not be able to increase the strength attribute to 7.

So he doesn't plan to eat the rest of the golden dragon for the time being, so let's keep it for money first. I'll talk about it when I have more money in the future.

Although his heart hurts, the effect is also extremely obvious, and now Samwell only feels that his body is full of explosive power, and he can't wait to vent it.

Even the "Magic Mountain" Gregor Clegane is in front of him, and he dares to fight hard with the other party.

Even he wanted to go and pinch off the neck of "Little Finger" directly.

But he still took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

In a place like King's Landing, brute force is the stupidest thing to do.

He is ready to use the ambition of Duke Lanli to give the "Red Viper" an ultimatum.

Otherwise, if Littlefinger is given more time, I'm afraid the situation in King's Landing will collapse beyond control.
