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

Chapter 274
Ed was suddenly furious: "Since you know about their plot, why did you choose to keep silent?"

"My little birds are the spies I use to scout out information, not the warriors I use to wield swords in the arena," the eunuch told him.

Ed slammed his fist on the table in front of him: "Then you should at least tell me earlier."

"I originally planned to tell Duke Gaoyuan about this secretly last night." Varys looked up at Gaoyuan, "but there was Miss Sansa by his side at that time, and my little birds followed Duke Gaoyuan last night behind him until he watched them enter the Prime Minister's Tower."

"It turns out that the people from Varys who have been following me last night." Gao Yuan suddenly realized when he heard the words.

In fact, he had already noticed those people who were closely behind him last night, but because these people did not take any further action, he ignored them.

"It seems that Lord Gaoyuan has noticed my little bird last night." Varys was not surprised by this, "Unfortunately, although my little bird saw you entering the Prime Minister's Tower, but Never saw you come out of it again, so they didn't have time to tell you the news."

Ed turned his head in surprise when he heard the words, looking at Gao Yuan's eyes seemed to be suppressed with endless anger.Reminiscent of his daughter Sansa's performance when he saw Gao Yuan in the martial arts competition today, he suddenly became furious and asked loudly: "Duke Gaoyuan! Did you stay in Sansa's room last night?"

Gao Yuan was also confused, why did this suddenly involve Sansa Stark, and does it have anything to do with whether he stayed in Sansa's room or not?

"You damn bastard. Sansa is still so young. She hasn't even had her period yet." Before Gao Yuan could explain to him, Ed raised his hand and wanted to beat him up.

"Wait." Gao Yuan quickly stepped back, "Where is this going on? Mr. Ed, please listen to my explanation first."

"I didn't stay overnight in this prime minister's tower at all last night." Gao Yuan finally shouted this sentence just when Ed's fist was about to hit Gao Yuan's face.

Ed Stark snorted coldly: "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise I will never spare you easily!"

I literally did nothing last night but send Miss Sansa back to her room, and I can assure you of that! "Gao Yuan hurriedly explained, "The reason why Lord Varys's little bird didn't see me coming out of the Prime Minister's Tower was also because I found out that they were following me, so I tried to get rid of them. Like I sneaked into your study that night. "

"Lord Stark, you really misunderstood Lord Gao Yuan." Varys also stood up and explained for him at the right time, "Lord Gao Yuan did not lie to you, he did not stay in this Prime Minister's Tower last night. After that My little bird reported to me again that Mr. Gao Yuan appeared in front of Earl Royce's courtyard."

"Although I don't know how Master Gao Yuan bypassed my little bird, I can still testify to you." Varys blinked at Gao Yuan.

Seeing Stark snorted and retracted his fist, Gao Yuan complained angrily: "Master Varys, next time I trouble you to speak, can you finish the sentence at once, you almost Made me miserable."

"Hmph! Since you have no chance to report this matter to Gao Yuan, you should also find a way to tell me the news!" Ed Stark was still angry at this moment.

"Oh, so what if I said it!" The eunuch sneered: "Master Stark, there is no Duke Goyuan by your side to advise you. Let me guess, after you hear the news, I am afraid that you will wish to immediately Run to King Robert and tell him, won't you?"

"What will Robert do when he learns from you of these tricks against him?" said Varys. "I'm curious about that."

After hearing what Varys said, Ed Stark calmed down and began to imagine according to his words: "Robert may curse them to hell, and then compete according to his own ideas, so that they know that they are not afraid of these conspiracies trick."

"Lord Stark, maybe I can admit one more thing to you." Varys spread his hands to show that he was unreserved, "I want to see how you react."

"You asked me why I didn't report to you in advance, and my answer is: I never trusted you before today, my lord!"

"You don't trust me?" The expression on Ed Stark's face showed that he was shocked by this, "Then why did you choose to trust Gao Yuan?"

"Lord Stark, there are two kinds of people living in the Red Keep." Varys explained, "One is loyal to the kingdom, and the other is loyal to himself. The Duke High is not one of these two kinds of people." Either way, he's the only one I can be sure of being loyal to the king."

"He could have chosen to keep himself out of the matter and enjoy the life of a lord comfortably in his own territory, but he still chose to come to King's Landing to help you and King Robert."

"Until this morning, I still couldn't decide which of those two people you belonged to. So I chose to stand on the sidelines and now I know clearly." Varys smiled slightly, and in an instant he privately The expression and the expression in public are combined into one, "I gradually began to understand why the queen was so scared after you came to King's Landing City, and I didn't see how scary you are until today."

"For this reason, she should also be afraid of Duke Gaoyuan, because with the assistance of Duke Gaoyuan, you may really pose a threat to her and the Lannister family."

"Lord Varys, you are probably more of a threat than I am." Eddard Stark shook his head, he never thought he could scare that woman, "You are the one she should be afraid of. "

"No, I am very clear about who I am and where I am now." Varys' voice was a little low, and this voice should not have come from the mouth of an eunuch like him, "Successive kings used me, but they all did it for this." Shame."

"Especially a steely man like Robert, who is full of masculinity, the most disdainful thing is to be in the company of chickens and robbers and eunuchs like me, and I happen to have both of these points." Varys took a sip from his glass.

"If one day Cersei whispered in his ear, 'Kill that eunuch', in a blink of an eye I would be kneeling on the execution ground and Ilyn Payne would have my head chopped off, and who would replace poor Wa Where is Reese sad?"

"Maybe I won't feel sad for you." Gao Yuan replied, "At least I will lament that there is one less good person in this world."

"Good guy? Hahaha. I've never been a nice guy, Mr. Gao Yuan!" Varys seemed to have heard something funny, "I still have some self-knowledge about this. What I have done is beyond your imagination, maybe in understanding After what I've done for the kingdom all these years, you'd be tempted to chop off my head right away."

"But I still have to thank you, Lord Gaoyuan!" Varys said with a trembling and sincere tone, "Over the years, you are the first and only person who calls me a good person."

Turning his head, Varys turned to Ed and said, "But Lord Stark, you are different. You know very well that Robert will never kill you. Even for the queen. Your arrival may be our salvation."

"On this vast continent of Westeros, perhaps only your words can still be heard by Robert." The eunuch said slowly, "Before this, there was Jon Arryn, but unfortunately he is dead. In the hands of Petyr Baelish."

What kind of capital is this? This is simply a dragon's pond and a tiger's den!

For a moment, Ed Stark really wanted to go back to his Winterfell. The hearts of the people in the North were not so complicated. The enemies he had to face there were much simpler than this. Except for the cold, there was only the Great Wall. the savage.

"Robert must have other trusted allies." Eddard tried to refute Varys' assertion, but his tone didn't sound as sure as he said, "like his own brother, and..."

"Stop lying to yourself, Lord Stark!" Varys interrupted him with a playful smile, "The only ones he can trust now are the Duke of High and you, Lord Stark."

"It's true that Robert's brothers hated the Lannisters, but that doesn't mean they liked their king brother. Hating the queen isn't the same thing as loving the king, maybe they both Maybe."

"Ser Barristan's allegiance is to his honour; you already know that Grand Maester Pycelle is with the Lannisters; and not to mention Littlefinger, who has never loved anything but himself; Tanis has now fled back to his domain."

"Is there no one who really guards Robert?" Ed looked a little annoyed. "What about the Kingsguard? They swore to protect the king."

"These are just paper tigers," the eunuch told him. "Lord Stark, don't look shocked."

"Jaime Lannister is certainly a sworn White Knight, but we all know the weight of the oath he swore. The honor of the Kingsguard cast by the Dragon Knight Prince Aemon, Ryan Redwin, has long been It's a thing of the past."

"Among the Seven Kingsguard, only Ser Barristan Selmy has real skills, but Selmy is very old. Ser Boros and Ser Meryn are both lackeys who are devoted to the queen, The others are not much better, in my opinion." Varys warned, "If the sword is used, you and the high Lord will be the only friends of Robert Baratheon."

"I've got to let Robert know about it," Eddard said to himself, though he didn't know if he was talking about the Kingsguard or something else.
"If what you say today is true, even if it is only half true, it means that Robert himself is in danger at any moment now, and he should know about it."

"What are you going to do after that, do you want me to confront them face to face? Do we have any evidence to testify against them?" Varys asked him, "Are you planning to confront the queen, the kingslayer, and the king's relatives at the same time?" My brother is going to war with his important ministers, the guardians of the south and west, and all the forces in Casterly Rock City? Why don't you just ask Ser Ilyn to cut off our heads, that will be easier and won't start a war among the Seven Kingdoms."

"I am very aware of the consequences and consequences of speaking out."

"But if we don't stand up to stop them now, they will still wait for the opportunity to attack again, and we don't know when they will choose to attack next time." Ed looked worried at the moment.

"We can also choose to wait for the time." Gao Yuan on the side suddenly said, "Today we have achieved a great success, clearing away a scourge around King Robert, and cutting off the wings of the Lannister family by the way."

"And we are now convinced that the Lannister siblings are hiding a huge secret. As long as we follow the investigations conducted by the former Prime Minister during his lifetime, I believe we will catch them sooner or later. , and sent them to the hell of the Seven Gods in one fell swoop."

"Then you have to speed up your progress. A crisis affecting the Seven Kingdoms and threatening Robert is imminent." Varys rarely refuted tonight, "I'm afraid they will choose to do it soon."

"Lord Eddard, you've made them sleepless," Varys warned, "but my little bird will listen carefully, and I believe that together we may be able to see the opportunity and stop their next tragedy before it happens." One action, just the three of us."

"I think that's the end of our conversation today. Thank you for the wine you prepared. We'll talk about the rest later. Next time you see me in the Imperial Council, please don't forget to put on your previous contemptuous expression." Attitude." Varys got up and pulled the cloak over his face, ready to leave.

Watching Varys leave the room, Ed Stark turned his head to look at Gao Yuan: "Master Gao Yuan, what do you think of Varys?"

"He is an out-and-out good man, and at the same time an out-and-out information dealer. He will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals." Gao Yuan briefly commented on Varys, "But Mr. Ed, you'd better not Trusting him too much, the loyalty of this man is unclear. Although I don't know what his purpose is, I can be sure that the object of his allegiance is definitely not King Robert, and I don't think he will be loyal to Queen Sir Xi and their kind of people."

"Perhaps the goal Varys pursues is far nobler than all of us. The reason why he chooses to help us is that we are walking towards his goal."

"Goal. My goal now is to return to my Winterfell, and live a safe life there with Caitlin and my children." Ed Stark held his head that was about to burst, " No matter what his ultimate goal is, since his current goal is also to deal with the Lannister siblings, it means that we can still cooperate and trust each other on this matter."

"Duke Gao Yuan, what are you going to do next?" Eddard Stark asked.

Gao Yuan picked up the keel-handled dagger in front of him: "Tomorrow, I'm going to have a good talk with someone who knows this dagger. After that, I'm going to visit the blacksmith shop and the women's branch that Jon Arryn visited before his death. , maybe there is a clue we need in there."

"Varys was right just now. The crisis is imminent. We need to investigate the secrets of the Lannister siblings as soon as possible."

"Let's put aside the dagger matter for now." Ed said, "King Robert will have a trial against Littlefinger tomorrow. At that time, I need you to bring Sir Hugh to the trial meeting to accuse Baelish of crimes committed by the previous prime minister."

Gao Yuan nodded: "Tomorrow I will take Sir Hugh to the site of the trial meeting."

Just as he turned around and was about to leave the Prime Minister's room, he seemed to suddenly remember another thing: "There is one more thing, Lord Ed!"

"About Mrs. Stark's kidnapping of the little devil, I heard someone mention it at the martial arts tournament today. I believe this matter will soon be hidden. I am afraid that people in King's Landing will Everyone will start discussing this matter." Gao Yuan asked him softly, "Last time, Lord Ed, you said that you would report to King Robert. I just want to confirm whether you have reported to the king."

"Damn it, I actually forgot this important thing." Ed Stark slapped his head when he heard that, he had already forgotten about this matter, if Gao Yuan hadn't reminded him at all Can't remember anything else about it.

"I'll report this to Robert immediately after the trial session against Littlefinger is over tomorrow."
