"What did you say? Lord Eddard has left King's Landing? "
Lan Li sat at his desk, his face shocked.
His attendant Loras Tyrell frowned at this time and said, "It is true that this morning I left King's Landing with the nobles of the northern border under the watchful eyes of the Prime Minister." "
Lan Li clenched his fists and slammed the wooden table, with a hint of anger on his face: "Damn, why didn't we get this news in the first place? "
Yesterday, Duke Edd and King Robert had a fierce argument and broke up. Lan Li originally planned to visit Ed today to make him confirm whether Margaret really looked like Lyanna Stark.
I never thought that Ed would leave so quickly.
Loras comforted: "Perhaps it was His Majesty's quarrel with Duke Edd that made him want to leave as soon as possible." "
Lan Li pondered, this may be one of the reasons.
But as a royal minister, he still has a good relationship with Ed Stark, why didn't Ed tell him last night.
Lan Li suddenly recalled that when Duke Ed returned to the king with the captured nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, his gaze seemed to have a deep meaning.
Did he find something?
No way!
After thinking about his plan and confirming that he had not let anyone other than him and the Tyrell family know, he thought again about how to find Duke Edder again.
Loras was extremely confident that his sister would win the king's favor, and he persuaded: "It would be better to let Margaret enter the court directly and serve His Majesty the King, and Margaery's excellent conditions are enough to make His Majesty fall in love with her." "
Lan Li shook her head: "No, it's too urgent now, Margaret is still in a state of menstruation, and if she goes in, she will only be persecuted by the queen who is desperate." "
He looked at Loras: "This matter is not urgent, Margery is growing, and the Lannister women are becoming more and more arrogant, my royal brother...
He's tired of those blond guys, give me some more time..."
Lan Li's eyes were deep, and his eyes flashed with a different kind of confidence.
But Loras looked at Lan Li at this time, but his eyes were full of charm, and the air was filled with a hint of swirling atmosphere.
The air in the depths of the Red Fort's secret passages was damp and stagnant, and only the crackling of torches tore through the silence.
Wallis held a torch and dressed like a woman in an inconspicuous coarse cloth dress.
Next to him stood the governor of Pantos, Illyrio Mopatis, who had arrived from across the narrow sea.
"My old friend, you are still planted in the hands of that oriental..."
Illyrio no longer had the proud look of his past, and looked at Varys with a solemn face:
"Varys, that oriental man doesn't play cards according to common sense at all, the legacy of the Seven Kingdoms is in front of him, he refuses to accept it, the princess's beauty can be seen by the gods, but he is not interested in the slightest, do you think that Oriental is not interested in women..."
Varys looked at his partner in front of him with a black line, and he was speechless, when had Illyrio's head become so dull?
"Stop these groundless speculations, if he is really not interested in women, then he will also agree to our request on the prince's handsome face, but he clearly doesn't eat soft and hard... By the way, I heard that you still plan to use dragon eggs to make that oriental person change his mind?" "
At the end of Varys' words, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which made Illyrio particularly uncomfortable.
Illyrio's face was annoyed: "I swear, I really lost my mind at that time, but when I stepped out of Telossi, I realized that something was wrong, that oriental man was greedy and had no credibility, if I really gave him the dragon egg, I am afraid I will come back to you empty-handed now." "
Varys's voice was low: "Just know! If that oriental man really has dragons, then he may have mastered the method of hatching dragon eggs and controlling dragons at the same time, and our dragon eggs must not be given to him, otherwise it will only increase the risk. "
Illyrio nodded, and then frowned: "But, does that oriental person really have a dragon? The prince told me that when Tellosi fell, there was no dragon in sight, and so did your "little bird". "
Varys said a little uncertainly: "I don't know, except for the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms who have been defeated, no one has ever seen a dragon, but I would rather believe that he has a dragon, so that the little griffin has a better chance of success." "
Illyrio showed a clear smile: "You still can't forget the plan I said, to be honest, my plan is definitely feasible, but the key to the plan is to let the oriental marry the princess, as long as the princess becomes his queen, we will be able to know the details of the oriental." "
Varys sighed, "Don't be so optimistic, Westeros is not the only one who is plotting..."
Illyrio raised his eyebrows and stroked his oily mustache: "What? What critical intelligence did you receive? "
Varys nodded gloomily, "His Majesty's younger brother, the Duke of Langley, and the Tyrell family seem to be on the move, and it seems that they are pushing something we don't know about." "
Illyrio asked, "Do you have eyebrows?" "
Varys shook his head: "The specific content is not clear, Lan Li seems to be extremely careful, my "little bird" neither heard any valuable conversation nor found any paper documents, but found an interesting thing..."
He took out a parchment portrait from his sleeve and gave it to Illyrio: "The Duke of Tyrell is looking for a good painter for his young daughter and wants to paint for her, and this is one of the eliminations." "
When Illyrio saw the beauty in the portrait, his eyes lit up: "This Miss Tyrell is good-looking... :"
Varys said quietly: "Old man, my focus is not this: :"
Illyrio smiled.
Varys continued: "Tyrell's actions are very suspicious, they contributed the most in the war, but they tried the least, and even paid the war reparations for His Majesty the King, so that the captured nobles of the Seven Kingdoms could be redeemed, what is their purpose?" Now, under Tyrell's painstaking management, the king is ready to let his younger brother, who holds the position of Minister of the Sea, get out, so that the Tyrell family can enter the royal council. "
Illyriomo groaned with his shiny beard and pondered: "Could it be that they just want to occupy a place in the Imperial Council It's not impossible, old man, you know the history of the Seven Kingdoms better than me, the Tyrell family is rich, but lacks influence, and they won't miss any opportunity to make friends with the king." "
Varys sighed, "It would be great if that's the case, and... Just now, I received news from the Eastern Continent that the Orientals were already at war with Reese, and Reese and Mir had offered expensive contracts, and many mercenary groups were flocking to fight the Orientals in the disputed land. "
When Illyrio heard this, he instantly understood what Varys meant, and then his face sank: "Mies will not agree to participate in the war, I have repeatedly told him before leaving Pantos that the Golden Legion cannot be involved in the war in the disputed land." "
Varys looked at him with burning eyes and said, "My dear friend, you will take the boat back tonight and stare at them face to face, don't forget, there are several greedy and irritable guys in the Golden Regiment, I'm not sure if Mies Toyn can catch them..."
Illyrio worriedly thought of the disobedient thorns of the Golden Regiment, such as Tristan Hevin.
He wondered in his heart whether the current leader of the Golden Regiment, Mies Toynjutu, could control those guys with their heads tied to their money bags.
However, he quickly regained his confident smile:
"Don't worry, have you forgotten?" Griffin was there, and he served as Mies' deputy in the Golden Regiment, who trusted him and knew exactly what to do. "
Varys rubbed his eyebrows and said, "In short, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, my dear old man, you should go back as soon as possible." "
He was reluctant to admit it, but he had to admit that their plans had been messed up since the Oriental man appeared.
Now, a key link in their plan is that the Targaryen siblings are being held hostage in Telosie.
They had difficulty persuading the Orientals to marry the princess.
If this continues, time will only become more and more unfavorable to them.
Varys was worried and watched Illyrio disappear at the end of the dark passage.
