The Demon Mountain said: "Lord Petyrberry, the nobles of the entire Western Realm have suggested to the Duke to kill the Demon Mountain, but the Duke did not make a move, but made me the general of his five hundred guards cavalry battalion. Border patrols, pacification of aristocratic disputes, foreign government exchanges, the duke also used me, regarded me as the most reliable subordinate. ”

"The Martell family of Dorne once sent an envoy to ask the Duke to cut off my head and send it to Dorne, and then Dorne negotiated a settlement with the West, the Duke ignored the request of the Martell family of Dorne, in order to protect me, the feud between the Duke and the Martell family has been sixteen years, and it will continue. ”

"I'm one of two people the Duke won't kill: loyalty! I'm absolutely loyal to the Duke, and if you want the Duke's forgiveness, then give the Duke loyalty. ”

Petyr the Littlefinger immediately knelt down on one knee and swore allegiance to Duke Tywin in the name of family honor and the Seven Gods.

Duke Tywin looked at Petyr Littlefinger and said lightly, "Lord Petyrberg, I will protect anyone who is loyal to me to the end, just like Gregor Cregan." ”

"Yes, Lord Duke, I will follow you henceforth, be loyal to you, and be willing to give my life if necessary!" said Littlefinger. This is not the time to be subtle.

Duke Tywin's face was expressionless, and no one knew what he thought about Littlefinger's oath of allegiance.

Moshan said: "There is another kind of person who the Duke will not kill, that is, a useful person. ”

"Sir Gregor Klegane has been very useful to me. Tywin said, "Lord Petyrberry, are you useful to me besides your loyalty?"

"I believe I am very useful to the Duke. From then on, the Duke had me as a retainer among the royal ministers of King's Landing. Littlefinger said.

"Lord Petyrberg, you must henceforth devote all your heart to the work I have given you, and I will give you the castle and fief you want. For example, Lady Tanda's territory and castle, if you want, I can give it to you. ”

Littlefinger was speechless.

"Loris, though mentally retarded and two years older than you, would be a good deal if she could get Stolickworth's castle and domain after marrying Loris. ”

"Lord Duke, the heir to the castle of Stowalkworth is Loris's sister Farice Stockworth, and her husband is Sir Balmainbech, they have been married for ten years and have lived in the castle of Stowalkworth, and as soon as their mother Tanda died, the heir to the castle and the realm is Farise. ”

"Farice and Sir Balmain have no children. Duke Tywin said unhurriedly.

"But both of them are very young and can also adopt an adopted son. ”

"No, Sir Petyr, you're thinking too much. Duke Tywin said calmly, "If you want, I can give it to you." Wait for your castle and territory to be in hand, and for a mentally retarded Loris, I don't believe that Lord Petyr will not be able to solve this problem. ”

Duke Tywin: This is a lure!

Littlefinger's heart was moved, and at the same time, a chill rose in his heart, the Duke wanted to give him the castle and territory of Stoevils, and he was bound to kill Loriss and his husband without leaving a trace, the Duke's cruelty and ruthlessness made Littlefinger feel cold, that was the king's territory, and the Countess of Tanda was also a royal courtier, and the Duke was also showing his strength to Littlefinger and issued a warning: "Lord Duke, I am willing to marry Loris." ”

Duke Tywin nodded slightly, and did not continue the conversation of the Tanda family: "Lord Petyr, you must either be a person who is loyal to me or a person who is useful to me, I need you to prove your loyalty, or prove your usefulness, after you return to King's Landing, I want you to keep an eye on Varys secretly, I want to know if there are other noble forces behind him." ”

Duke Tywin had determined that Varys' allegiance was not to King Robert. He was obviously not effectively loyal to the Lannisters of the West, so who was he loyal to? Or was he, like Littlefinger, loyal only to himself.

"Yes, Lord Duke. Little Finger secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that Tywin had asked him to poison King Robert. The monarch killer is a stain and infamy for a lifetime, and the chances of being reckoned afterwards are too great. Jaime Lannister the Monarch is an exception.

"Genos Slint, commander-in-chief of King's Landing's garrison, can you buy him?"

"Effortlessly, Lord Duke. ”

"Why wasn't Genos of the NB dismissed by the upright and shrewd Prime Minister Jon Arryn? I heard that the Prime Minister went to great lengths to get out of Genos, but in the end it didn't work. ”

"King Robert benefited from Genos's corruption. "More than half of Genosnn's money was secretly given to King Robert. ”

It's a secret that even Prime Minister Jon didn't know during his lifetime, but Littlefinger knew.

Tywin knew Littlefinger was telling the truth.

"What about the other officers of the garrison?"

"It's easy to buy them all. Littlefinger smiled in his trademark catch.

Duke Tywin stared at Littlefinger, looked at it for a while, and said slowly: "Magic Mountain, let the University Priest take Lord Petyrberry down to eat, and let the Bachelor give Lord Petyr a knife and fork." ”

"Yes, Lord Duke. ”

In the study, the Magic Mountain and the Duke of Tywin.

"Sir Gregor, I want you to send someone to the Riverlands to do some great destruction, what do you have in mind? ”

When it comes to doing bad things and subduing wicked people, Lord Tywin believes that the Magic Mountain has an innate talent.

"Half a month later, the rice on the plains of the Riverland is ripe, and going to the plains and setting a fire will burn the Duke of Khost's grain reserves this year, and deal a heavy blow to the people of his plains. ”

Duke Tywin's face was expressionless, but he felt happy in his heart.

War is about to break out, and burning the enemy's food is the best way to fight the enemy in peacetime. Not to mention that the Demon Mountain is the number one villain in the Seven Kingdoms, as long as he is allowed to do bad things, he can make Duke Tywin very satisfied every time.

"Half a month later, the king and the prime minister's southbound men will reach the Green Fork River in the Bend, and you will set fire to it, and you will be very large and easy to spot. ”

"No, Lord Duke, I will take the good wine and food of the Westside to the Green Fork River to present to King Robert and Prime Minister Eddard, the king likes to gamble, and I will go and present the king with a bag of gold coins that we have minted to show the Westland's respect and love for the king. ”

"Then when will you set fire to the grain?"

"I'll find a tall soldier to pretend to be me, and take my brothers to the plains and set fire to food, but they'll leave traces of Tyrells' soldiers in Riverlands. The way they retreated was also to enter the territory of Tyrell in the Bend. ”

Duke Tywin had a hard face: "Sir Gregor, you've got a good idea! I've thought about it, since the Seven Kingdoms are in turmoil, and the gold mines we hand over to King's Landing in the West will be decreasing every day, we need to secretly add another mint. ”

"Yes, Lord Duke. ”

In peacetime, the coinage let the Magic Mountain take the blame Since the peace must end and the civil strife began, the Duke decided to personally put his sleeves up and go into battle, and refused to let the Magic Mountain take charge of the coinage on his behalf, and the Magic Mountain minted his own gold coins, and the Duke decided to secretly open a larger and more complete mint for his own gold mine.

The gold mines handed over to the country in the west only need to write a letter to the Minister of Finance, Petyrberg, saying that the gold mines in the west have been sharply reduced, and everything will fall into place. Besides, Lord Petyrberg eats in the restaurant here!

Well, when Littlefinger finished eating, the Duke decided to return to Klegon Village with Littlefinger and the Magic Mountain, and he wanted to listen to Witch Queen's advice first, and hoped to plan his next move through Witch Queen's prophecy, which is very important!

"Sir Gregor, go and inform my treasurer, that he may prepare a thousand golden dragons to bring to the hall. ”

"Yes, Lord Duke. ”

A thousand gold dragons, a huge amount of money, but for Duke Tywin, although the gold mines in the west are about to run out, this thousand gold dragons are still insignificant. 11
