Chapter 80 Rumors Show Power (Part 2)

"Is the city full of wind and rain?" Igor Yang He raised his eyebrows and suppressed it so as not to make his tone seem too abnormal. He realized that oneself may have underestimated the lethality of the Master of Coin and Prime Minister Lady having an adulterous affair involving high-level gossip. However, the purpose of oneself spreading rumors is not just to disgust others, he needs to know urgently now-whether oneself's behavior has already, or will it cause enough damage to Littlefinger's plan in the future: "Well... what does the person involved have? Response?"

"None of my business." Tyrion snorted disdainfully, "That Hugh was just a little squire, and those notes were probably not his last words. But the person who wrote them Very cunning, the above content is either dead men tell no tales or distorted and exaggerated facts, no loopholes can be found... But Baelish is the Master of Coin after all, the 'pillar of the country', how could a rumor kill him? Um... ...but I really haven't seen anyone for a few days, all I know is that his brothel is still open."

"Is that so." Igor concealed his helplessness, as smart people usually don't Too much gossip, Tyrion doesn't care about these things, it's totally in his character. Fortunately, since this rumor has spread, you don't have to worry that oneself inquiring about this news will attract the attention of interested people. But next, who should I ask to find out if the purpose of oneself has been achieved?

...

After thinking about it, he decided to take the time to "talk" with the House Stark guard who sent Arya to class every day. After all, the direct purpose of oneself was to prevent Littlefinger from getting Eddard Stark's trust, and to obtain this information, is there a more suitable person than the party's subordinates?

He soon discovered that there really was.

"That rumor..." Arya sniffed again, the two adults in front of her finally chatted about something that oneself also knew, she didn't miss the opportunity to interrupt, showing off the information that oneself knew like a treasure : "My father said that the king has written a letter to ask Arryn Lady to go back to King's Landing to explain the rumors and prove oneself is innocent."

Igor also came back to his senses at this time, yes, oneself is really Stupid, Ed's precious daughter is in front of oneself, why bother to look for the guard outside the door? Oneself habitually treats Arya as a little child who doesn't know anything, but in fact - a ten-year-old child, who is smarter already understands everything, but doesn't have enough experience and experience to analyze what oneself hears What does it mean. Arya is Ed's daughter and oneself's "disciple". She can get close to Ed every day, and at the same time she simply trusts oneself. If used well, isn't it the best "ear" of oneself?
He secretly rejoiced when he figured out the key, and the benefits of being in a relationship with a Stark were far more than he thought at first.

But don't get carried away, Arya may tell oneself everything, but also tell father Eddard Stark everything. Oneself can get a lot of key first-hand information from her mouth, but if Ed accidentally learns that Oneself asks this and that all day, and becomes suspicious, then he will shoot oneself in the foot.

...

Tyrion winked at Arya: "Arryn Lady? If I remember correctly, that's your aunt."

"Yeah, She's my aunt." Arya also winked at Tyrion, a little sorry: "I don't know what she looks like...didn't expect her to be that kind of person!"

"Just a rumor Forget it, believe what you listen to, that's the characteristic of mob." Tyrion said in the tone of educating Junior, "As for the king's letter, it is written for nothing... She will never come to King's Landing. If the rumors are true , Lysa is impossible to leave the nest and run right into a trap; and if the rumor is false, it means that someone wants to harm her, then it is even more impossible to leave the safe Eyrie and run to the ghost place of King's Landing."

"Indeed...in Eyrie in the Vale of Arryn, the Arryn Lady is the Queen, but if you come to King's Landing, you'll just be the widow of the former Prime Minister, and I won't come either." Igor voted in favor of Tyrion , and then asked casually, pretending to be indifferent: "Um-Arya, Lord Prime Minister...what is your father doing these two days, what does he think of the rumors, or is he still running around with Lord Baelish? "

Arya didn't even think about it, and said everything that oneself knew: "No, listen to Jory, Littlefinger has been ordered not to leave the Red Keep, and my father ... seems to be investigating The source of the rumors."

Ordered not to leave the Red Keep? Isn't this a different world version of "limiting the freedom of life and waiting for the organization to investigate"! As for investigating the source of rumors... Igor subconsciously reviewed the whole process of oneself making and distributing the note: the ink is the most common ink, the paper also uses the common high-quality parchment on the market, and those who buy these things are Tyrion's squire, and there are also Reasonable and legitimate use. There is no second person involved or aware of the whole process. Unless Ed can infer that it was done by oneself through the fingerprints left on the note, he will not be able to find out anything about oneself.

Hey, I knew I would wear gloves when I was doing errands! But it's okay, Westeros apparently doesn't have this technology.

He was relaxed, and suddenly had a strong sense of unreality: Could it be that Littlefinger, the chess player of Game of Thrones in the original plot and the biggest boss in King's Landing, was defeated by a little rumor from oneself?
＊＊＊

There is nothing impossible, this is the real world, Littlefinger's power comes from crafty plots and machinations and Leader's trust, without any realistic foundation. When no one cares about him, he is the strongest; but when an opponent who knows everything and hides well is secretly targeting him, forcing him to be exposed to everyone's eyes, his "strength" becomes as Like spring snow under the sun, it vanished in minutes.

Losing the trust of Ed and the King, and becoming a suspect in the murder of the Prime Minister, Petyr Baelish's ambitions are over. True, Eddard Stark would suspect that these rumors were a smoke bomb spread by House Lannister to prevent him from investigating, and Petyr could also use other methods to get Ed to "discover" the secrets of Cersei and James as usual, but being spoiled by oneself, even if The plot is still going on according to the inertia, and the ending will be a huge deviation from the original!

No matter what, the situation can't be worse than what happened in the original plot.

......

Igor didn't immerse himself in the joy of easily taking down a big villain with his hands: Littlefinger is over, but after all, he is not dead, even if he is dead, he is still the same. Doesn't mean oneself wins. His opponent is not a conspirator, but a war - after the death of the last dragon in House Targaryen, Westeros has no realistic basis for maintaining unity, but barely remains undivided under the huge inertia of the historical wheel... The Seven Kingdoms are really too big, and they are at a dangerous historical node of "together for a long time". Whether it is Highgarden or the ruler of the Westerlands, they are no longer satisfied with the status quo. It's just the difference between "when and why it broke out", "how big is the fight", and "whoever loses wins".

Littlefinger's ambitions are over, but there's a Varys still in the dark, oneself has won precious time for oneself and Tyrion's money game, and then it's up to oneself to survive the inevitable war Before the outbreak, kill the other shit stick, and at the same time grow enough to protect itself and decide the fate of oneself.

＊＊＊

"Arya performed well today, because the master is not good, she did other things too late, and the sword technique class was delayed." Igor was in a good mood and said again Using head touch to kill, he keenly found that the girl likes this. This little she-wolf helped oneself a lot today, so I have to give it some sweetness: "As compensation and reward, the master will accompany you all day tomorrow, whether it's practicing swords, adventure stories or going to the paper mill, as you please. , okay?"
