In the barracks outside the city of Mir.
Liu Qian calmly read a secret letter from Mezzo.
The letter comes from King's Landing's intelligence network.
He quickly skimmed through the information on the letter.
It is written that Caitlyn Stark secretly arrived in King's Landing to meet with Edd and informed Littlefinger Petyr Berish of all suspicions about Jon Arryn's death.
Also, Ed Stark got into a verbal altercation with the king at the Imperial Council, and the two argued over the issue of the Targaryen remnants, which ended with Ed Stark's resignation.
In addition, Mezzo's "children" also discovered that Littlefinger had some private contact with Lan Li.
"Heh—"
Liu Qian sneered and threw the stationery on the table.
Caitlyn's stupidity almost overflowed the paper.
Ed Stark had a hard time in King's Landing, and now his good lady handed over the sharpest dagger to the little finger.
Sure enough, after Littlefinger learned the news from Caitlin, he immediately met with Lan Li, and Liu Qian could almost guess that Littlefinger must have also bet on Lan Li's side.
In the plot of the original work, the little finger only pressed the chips on the Lannister family.
But now, when he saw Lan Li's ambition and captured Lan Li's secret, how could he resist maximizing the benefits and get a promise from Lan Li?
As a result, Renly, Littlefinger—and even the Tyrell family—now know what Ed is suspecting!
Aunt Cat, Aunt Cat, you are really stupid.
Your husband is really going to be miserable by you.
However, Caitlin's stupid actions made the situation more dangerous and complicated, but also gave Liu Qian a great opportunity.
Liu Qian walked to the table, spread out a piece of letterhead, and dipped a pen in ink:
"Since the water has been stirred so much, why not throw another boulder and let it boil completely."
In the letter, he told Mezzo to use all the hidden stakes of the Seven Kingdoms to spread the story of Duke Ed's search for Lyanna under the Tower of Elysium and Jon Snow's true identity in the fastest and most stealthy way.
Jon Snow is not Eddard Stark's illegitimate son, but the legitimate heir born to Prince Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark after their legal marriage.
Jon Snow, who has the highest priority in the legal heirship of the Iron Throne.
However, in addition, Liu Qian also made up content about Ed Stark's ambitions.
Duke Edward went south to serve as the king's hand, not out of loyalty to Robert.
Its real purpose is to use the power of the prime minister to secretly gather forces and collude with the exiled Targaryen remnants, and when the time comes, Jon Snow's true identity will be restored, and he will be supported on the Iron Throne and overthrow the Baratheon dynasty.
House Stark will become the de facto regent of the Seven Kingdoms.....
Finally, in the letter, he instructed Mezzo to spread the news in all the towns of the Seven Kingdoms at the same time, so that the flame would burn throughout the Seven Kingdoms.
After writing all this, Liu Qian showed a sneer on his face.
Mrs. Caitlin, your husband is going to die anyway, why don't you make this death more vigorous.., a letter, half-truth.
In the first half, he had already stated in the letter that Holland Reed, who had gone to the Tower of Elysium with Ed, knew Jon Snow's true identity, and that Bishop Maynard's diary in the Old Town School City could prove that Jon was Rhaegar's legitimate heir.
In the second half, Liu Qian doesn't need evidence at all, as long as it grows crazy on its own, once Jon's identity is confirmed, there will always be people who believe that the second half is also true.
His purpose is to create a rift between the Stark family and all the families, and to completely isolate Stark.
How will others react when the entire kingdom believes that the Starks are hiding dragons in an attempt to restore Targaryen?
Liu Qian couldn't wait to see the Seven Civil Wars in chaos.
After writing the letter, Liu Qian carefully sealed it and handed it over to the most trusted messenger.
"Use the fastest raven to make sure it is delivered to Mezzo."
King's Landing, Red Fort.
The early morning glow seeped into the labyrinthine thick stone walls of the Red Keep, casting long shadows on the cold floor tiles.
In a richly furnished room, the strong and sweet aroma of powder is permeated.
The intelligence chief of the Seven Kingdoms, "Octopus Spider" Varys, was standing in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror inlaid with silver edges.
His massive body was wrapped in a wide, purple velvet robe embroidered with intricate dark patterns, the texture of which was soft, but made his round face pale in the morning light.
He held a delicate puff in his hand and focused on gently patting the white powder on his neck, cheeks and smooth scalp.
Every movement is very slow.
In the mirror, his eyes were as calm as water, unfathomable.
At this moment.
Du, Du, Du.
There was an extremely slight but unusual knock on the door.
Varys' slapping of the powder suddenly paused.
The eyes in the mirror instantly faded away from the disguised leisure and sharply threw themselves into the heavy oak door panel.
At this time, this kind of knocking method is only his "little bird".
Those children who shuttle through the shadowy passages of the Red Keep, silent like ghosts.
A trace of suspicion crossed my heart.
If it weren't for the big thing, his little bird would never have ventured to knock on his door directly in such a sensitive early morning.
He put down the puff, and there was no extra expression on his round face, just moving silently to the door.
He didn't open the door immediately, but listened for a moment to make sure there was no other movement outside the door, and then gently pushed open the door and opened the door to a gap that only one person could pass through.
Outside the door, there was indeed a thin boy standing in clothes.
He looked only eight or nine years old, his hair was withered and his face was dirty, and only a pair of eyes were unusually bright, and he was vigilantly scanning the empty corridor at the moment.
The boy didn't say a word, just quickly stuffed a folded note into Varys' hand.
Varys unfolded the note with the child's body temperature, his eyes swept over the words on the paper, his pupils contracted suddenly, his fingers holding the note trembled slightly with force, and his knuckles turned white.
Immediately afterwards, the shock in his eyes quickly turned into a thick shock.
"This—these"
Varys spoke, trying to maintain his usual sharpness and softness, but his voice became hoarse and dry uncontrollably: "Where did these things come from?" "
Hearing this, the boy picked up a pen and paper and wrote: "King's Landing is full of these news, taverns full of mercenaries, bustling brothels, and merchant inns, in short, places where there are people have spread everywhere." "
The cold sweat instantly soaked the shirt under Varys' silk robe, sticky and cold to his skin.
If what is written on this paper really spreads in King's Landing and even the Seven Kingdoms, if what is written on this paper is true:
Then he carefully woven a plan for decades... The great plot about the return of the "True Dragon Bloodline" will be completely disrupted, or even burned down!
Who the hell is it?!
Who is secretly manipulating? Who has such capabilities?
A silent roar of suspicion exploded in Varys' heart.
Several familiar and dangerous figures flew through his mind.
Varys forced himself to calm down.
He took a deep breath and said to the boy, "Go back and keep an eye on the sources of these messages and verify the authenticity of them." "
The boy nodded and disappeared into the hallway.
Varys slowly closed the door, leaning against the cold oak door panel, as if his body had been drained of strength.
Varys' well-dressed mood is long gone.
He tidied up his non-messy placket, and brushed his fingers over the folds on his brocade robe that didn't exist.
Then, he opened the door, with the carefully carved mask of calm on his face, and walked towards Mei Ge Lou as usual.
