The Heavens: The Magical World Begins with The Lord of the Rings

Chapter 239 Preparations before the war
The cold wind whizzed by in the dark corridor, and as the truth behind this series of events and Littlefinger, the real mastermind behind the scenes, gradually surfaced, the canyon lords suddenly felt shuddering all over.

In fact, this was just the tip of the iceberg of Littlefinger's plans, which he had been planning since he was driven from Riverrun by Lord Hoster Tully.Merely disturbing the seemingly peaceful situation in the Seven Kingdoms can't satisfy Littlefinger's growing ambition. What he really wants is the Iron Throne under King Robert's ass.

Petyr Baelish was born into a small and insignificant family on the Five Fingers of the Vale, and he devoted most of his life to elevating his humble ranks.He is desperate for power and status, and his greatest hope is to become a big man admired by everyone?

Who is the most admired of the Seven Kingdoms?That is naturally the King of the Seven Kingdoms sitting on the Iron Throne. Some people are destined to stand at the pinnacle of power;

These are not what Littlefinger can hope for. He was neither born to stand at the pinnacle of power; nor was he born in a famous family.Compared with those big men who can reach out and get what they want, all he can rely on is his own ingenuity.

In order to gain power over the Seven Kingdoms, he could do whatever it takes to design and poison Duke Jon Arryn, who was kind to him, and even wanted to take advantage of Lord Jon's widow's admiration for him to seize everything about the Arryn family in the valley. power,
In addition, he also expected to stir up disputes between the lion family and the wolf family by creating conflicts, and later single-handedly created the tragedy of the Stark family.He instigated Prince Joffrey to behead Catelyn's husband Ed Stark; he caused Arya Stark, who was only nine years old, to live in the wilderness; Broke his oath and died at the Red Wedding at the Twins...

After that, he even wanted to use Sansa Stark's trust and reliance on him to control the entire northern border, and let what he did to the Arryn family repeat on the Bolton family in the northern border.Stupid and poor Sansa Stark was tortured by him pushing into the clutches of little skinny Ramsay Bolton.

"Since Lady Lysa is no longer trustworthy, how should we deal with her now and imprison her?" Little Earl Hunter asked, "After all, she already knows that Mr. Gaoyuan is going to King's Landing City to investigate Jon. The cause of your lord's death, she will definitely find ways to tell Littlefinger the news."

"In this way, you are likely to face danger in King's Landing, if Littlefinger thinks you are a threat to him. Since Petyr Baelish can kill Lord Jon in King's Landing without anyone noticing , then he will definitely use all kinds of methods to deal with you."

"Hmph! How can a man be afraid of such a danger! His little finger is not a man-eating demon, at most he is a clown playing tricks. The more he is afraid of Mr. Gao Yuan going to King's Landing to deal with him Conducting an investigation, this shows that he has a ghost in his heart!" Bronze Jon glanced at the little Earl of Hunter with disdain, and snorted coldly, "Master Gao Yuan, please rest assured that your safety during your stay in King's Landing will be in the hands of the Royce family. Come to escort you, I will send my two sons to follow you, to protect your safety at all times."

The little Earl of Hunter also snorted coldly: "Lord Earl Jorn, don't forget that it is easy to hide a sharp spear, but hard to defend against a hidden arrow! In this world, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, so there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days."

"Thank you very much for your reminder, Earl Jerwood. But I still think what Earl Jorn said makes sense. Littlefinger is not a hungry wolf. No matter what kind of conspiracy he has prepared, he is waiting for me. With absolute strength I am vulnerable to a single blow in front of me, and you have seen my strength tonight."

Gao Yuan has never regarded Little Finger as a threat to himself. In fact, he has no way to pose a threat to himself at all, because Gao Yuan has absolute strength and can directly overturn the chessboard on which the opponent depends for survival.The reason why he didn't choose to deal with Littlefinger directly now is because the other party still has some use value for Gao Yuan at the moment, and Gao Yuan needs to use Littlefinger to achieve his goal of disrupting the Seven Kingdoms.

Chaos is an upward ladder, and Gao Yuan agrees with this purpose pursued by Littlefinger.Conceptual recognition is ultimately conceptual, which does not mean that Gao Yuan likes Petyr Baelish.It's just that now is not the time to kill him, when Littlefinger's use value is completely squeezed out, his fate will come to an end.

"As for Lady Lysa... She is still the widow of Lord Jon after all. I swore that I would not harm her and Duke Robert, and I don't intend to break the oath." Gao Yuan raised his hand and pressed it to express himself The little Earl of Hunter thought, "Besides, everything we are discussing now is just speculation without evidence. Only when the truth comes out, can we try the guy who murdered Lord Jon."

"But that doesn't mean I will tolerate her sabotaging our investigation in King's Landing."

"She cares about her and Lord Jon's children very much. Since she is going to follow Little Duke Robert to Runestone City, then Earl Jon, please entertain her in your castle!" Gao Yuan said easily, "Don't let her Don't let her have any chance of contact with anyone else, and write to Littlefinger in King's Landing."

"Is this intended to put Lysa Tully under house arrest in Runestone City?" Countess Waywood frowned and asked, "If this gets out, I'm afraid it will dishonor Earl Yonne's reputation, and leave what the monarch left behind. Orphans and widows are under house arrest in their own castles."

Earl Jorn laughed: "Madame Anya, do you think I'm the kind of pedantic person who only cares about my own feathers?"

"As long as everyone here doesn't arrange me behind my back, no matter what people outside talk about me, I and the Royce family in Runestone City won't care! Because all of us know that we are dying for innocents. Lord Jon seeks justice."

"Earl Jorn, Gao Yi!!!" All the canyon lords praised in unison.

"There is one more thing that deserves our vigilance!" After Bronze Jorn accepted the praise from his colleagues, Gao Yuan suddenly warned seriously, "That is the dispute between the wolf family and the lion family. There is a war in the country, and we need to start planning now."

Gao Yuan began to tell the canyon lords about the conflict between the two families, Lannister and Stark, on the banks of the Trident River because of children's fights.

Although this conflict was initially just a misunderstanding caused by fighting between the two children, but because of Queen Cersei's fierce pursuit of the Stark girl, Ed Stark's "Jedi counterattack" was triggered. ".This farce, which should have ended hastily and nothing happened, has now become more and more serious.

"Judging from Queen Cersei's haughty and vengeful personality, I'm afraid she won't let it go." Bronze Jon used to go to King's Landing to participate in tournaments, and every time he went to King's Landing, he always went to the Prime Minister's Tower Visit Lord Jon, and have heard more or less about the Queen's deeds.

"Now in the city of King's Landing, the lion family and the wolf family may have already been in the same situation." Countess Waywood said worriedly.

"It's not a matter of a day or two that the lion family and the wolf family are in dire straits. Ed Stark has never looked down upon the lion family." Earl Holden Redford recalled, "I still remember the time when After the Usurper War ended, why did Lord Eddard Stark choose to leave King's Landing and return to Winterfell in the north?"

"How can I forget such a wonderful drama!" Bronze Jon said with a smile, "At that time, Lord Eddard and King Robert had a fierce quarrel in the throne room full of dragon bones."

"They were quarreling at the time, and both sides insisted on their own opinions. Lord Eddard believed that King Robert should let Jaime Lannis, who broke his oath and killed his own monarch, wear black and join the Night's Watch." Bronze Covenant "King Robert tried hard to pardon Jaime, and let him stay with him as Kingsguard," recalls En.

"Despite Lord Eddard's arguments, he still failed to change the king's mind!" Earl Horton added, "So, Lord Eddard dropped a sentence of kingslayer in front of James and King Robert. Then he left King's Landing, and he has never set foot there since, not even after Greyjoy's Rebellion."

"Speaking of which, the reason why the once glorious position of the Kingsguard became what it is today is probably related to the fact that Jaime Lannister, the regicide, still stays in it." Bronze Jorn sighed, "A kingslayer who once killed the monarch he was loyal to, and the Kingsguard who broke his oath can continue to serve the next king if he takes his oath again, this is simply ridiculous!"

"How many fellows who are still in that position today are truly honorable?" Ser Simon Templeton sneered, "Except for Ser Barristan Selmy, this is the only one among them who is worthy A man with the title of Knight of the Kingsguard."

"Ahem, Sir Barristan, he is indeed a respectable knight, and he is also very dedicated." Gao Yuan coughed twice deliberately to attract the attention of the lords, "But the focus of our discussion now is not the past grievances. Now we're talking about this coming war in the future."

"The dispute between the lion family and the wolf family will continue to be staged in King's Landing. According to the current situation, there is no possibility of reconciliation of this dispute, even if King Robert ends up in person." Gao Yuan concluded, " For this reason, we have to make plans early, I am on Ed Stark's side, I believe that all the lords here will not support the Lannister family in Casterly Rock City."

"The old lion Tywin is a ruthless person. As early as when he was the hand of the king of the mad king Aerys, he showed a strong desire for control and calculation ability. In this dispute between the lion and the wolf, Lannis It is not good for me or my colleagues in the Valley that the Te family wins the final victory." Bronze Jorn expressed his position to Gao Yuan.

"I still believe in Lord Eddard Stark who grew up in the Vale of Arryn. He is a man who is strict with himself and abides by honor. I stand by the Stark family just like you, Lord Gao Yuan." Huo Lord Don Redford also stood up for Eddard Stark.

The two most respected lords in the valley have expressed their positions at this moment, and the other canyon lords who were still hesitant also followed suit and expressed their support.

"Since war is unavoidable, we must prepare in advance for this coming war!" Countess Waywood said firmly, "Lord Gao Yuan, what do you want us to do?"

All the canyon lords were eagerly waiting for Gao Yuan's speech, and Gao Yuan nodded with satisfaction: "It is now the autumn harvest season, and I believe the bachelors in each castle have also received the notice from the Academy City. The long summer is coming to an end. Winter is coming."

"I will inform the lords to harvest this season's grain as soon as possible at the lord meeting tomorrow, and after that, all varieties with short maturity and high yield will be sown." Gao Yuan began to announce his territory management arrangements in advance.

"In addition, we have to start purchasing a large amount of grain outside the valley, but we don't need to be too hasty, lest people discover our true intentions and let the soldiers pretend to be merchants to purchase." Gao Yuan warned, "It's best to buy it from Gaoting and the Western Territory. It would be best to buy all the grain harvested in the Western Territory this season."

"In addition, don't touch the food in the riverland! Because that area is likely to become the main battlefield in the future, we have to leave a way for the people and lords of the riverland to survive."

The Countess of Waywood frowned and asked a question: "However, at present, the passage from the Vale of Arryn to the Riverlands is not safe. There are often robbers from the Alpine clan looting there."

"This is exactly what I'm going to say next. I ask all the lords present here to send one hundred soldiers to the Blood Gate to protect the caravans entering and leaving the valley." Gao Yuan's request is not only that, "except you For the other small families, each family needs to send [-] soldiers under the command of Sir Brynden Tully, the knight of the Blood Gate, and these soldiers will be led by him into the Bright Moon Mountains to wipe out the high mountain clans that can be seen everywhere."

"The blood gate troops responsible for escorting the caravan and those troops that wiped out the Gaoshan clan rotate once a month to perform different tasks." Gao Yuan assured, "This is just a stopgap measure. After I return from King's Landing City , I will find a way to completely solve the trouble of the Gaoshan clan."

"A large number of food convoys entered the valley from the Blood Gate, which may attract the attention of many people." Countess Waywood thought that it might be inappropriate to transport the food into the Vale of Arryn in such a concentrated manner. "Such a large-scale operation is very difficult. It is difficult to hide from the attention of others, especially the nobles and kings of the riverlands, and our caravan enters the Vale of Arryn through the riverlands."

"Ms. Anya, your worry is very reasonable, but it is not difficult to solve!" Gao Yuan put forward his opinion, "We can disguise those convoys, for example, we can buy some empty barrels for the convoy, and transport those that need The grain of the Vale is in those casks."
