The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

"Why do people want to eat?" Petir showed a thoughtful expression.

He is wearing a linen dress with exquisite workmanship, and his own sound bird family crest is made of sterling silver, which is lifelike. He embraced the ledger and looked at the tall iron throne.

It was night, and there was no Prime Minister on the Iron Throne. Now it is an empty chair.

The huge red candles on the walls of the Throne Hall had already been lit, and the fire was bright and warm.

On both sides of the passage leading directly to the gate of the Iron Throne and the Throne Hall, every few feet, there is a copper basin burning with bright flames. The copper basin was placed on a tall iron shelf, and the blazing fire illuminates the middle passage of the Throne Hall as bright as day.

A soft voice like glutinous rice cake: "Master Petir, people eat because they are hungry."

Eunuch Varys's forehead shone with a faint metallic luster in the fire, his hands were still habitually caged in his sleeves, and his chubby face was filled with harmless smiles of humans and animals.

Pettil looked away from the Iron Throne and fell on the face of the **** in front of him: "Will made two strategies in the Throne Hall today, and the first strategy has worked for a long time. When he offered his strategy, he deliberately stepped onto the Iron Throne. Stairs reported to the Prime Minister alone, so that the courtiers of the seven countries remembered his Will's name. Then, what was his motive?"

"Hungry." Varys laughed.

"He was hungry and ran to Junlin City to find food. This is absolutely impossible."

"Why is it impossible? Everything is possible." Varys said softly.

"He is in black." Petir reminded Varys of this.

"I am the thief king and **** of the free trade city-state on the other side of the narrow sea. I am now the intelligence director of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros and a heavy minister in the court; you are a small earl on the Five Fingers Peninsula with nothing, poor and poor, that is, no vassal. , There are no people, and there is no power to bind chickens, but now the rich and powerful is coming, ranking among the most important ministers of the imperial council. Your word can make the rich go bankrupt, and make the beggar rich. Since the thief can be the important minister, the cold can Becoming rich, why can't Will, the man in black, come to King's Landing to find food?"

"Are you sure?" Pettier's eyes flickered.

"No!"

"The people and things of the Seven Kingdoms can be hidden from the Octopus Spider."

"Have."

"A person who has no conspiracy will never challenge me in the Throne Hall, nor will he whisper to you in front of the courtiers of the Seven Kingdoms. The act of acting, pretending to be advanced, and acting like a clown moon boy, it must be Motivated, otherwise, he would just say his advice directly." Pettier laughed.

"Yes, Lord Will's performance today is indeed extraordinarily extraordinarily. But his extraordinarily acted twofold, but it made me and you, Paisier University scholar, the noble knights and ladies of Korea and China, and the Prime Minister. Everyone left a deep impression on him. I bet that the Paisier University fellow will never forget Will's face." Varys laughed.

"If you let me guess, Will's real target must be Ed Stark."

"Oh, why do you say that."

"The Night's Watch and the Northern Territory are in the north. Will wants to benefit from Ed Stark's body. He offers suggestions and plays mystery, but it is only to deepen Ed Stark's impression. Ed Shi Tucker might just eat this one."

Varys chuckled: "So, what does he want from Ed Stark? Or, the person he wants to impress is Stark."

"I don’t know, but Ed Stark must have been impressed by him and be impressed by his abilities. I’ll make a small bet with you, ten golden dragons, regardless of whether Will asks Ed Stark in King’s Landing. Lord Ed will give him what you want." Pettil smiled. He has no doubts about his judgment.

Varys nodded: "Master Petir, then how do you comment on Ed Stark's rejection of your proposal and me at the Imperial Conference in the afternoon? Why? My proposal and your proposal, but Master Will's suggestion ."

Pettil chuckled softly: "Don’t perform the octopus spider in front of me. I don’t know what the bachelor of Pasir thinks, but I know that the coup that Stark proposed in the afternoon meeting must come from Will. idea."

"Oh?"

Petir approached Varys and lowered his voice: "At noon, my people saw Will give Stark a letter."

"Hmm, my people have seen it too."

The two smiled at each other.

"Will proposed the income city tax. He calculated that I would be interested. I am indeed very interested. I will start planning when I return at noon." Pettier's shrewd face showed a self-deprecating smile.

"It's the same with me. When I went back, I summoned my little bird and started Will's trick to persuade me." Varys smiled bitterly.

The plan of the two of them was directly rejected by Prime Minister Ed Stark in the afternoon meeting, because Ed Stark came up with a simpler, more direct and effective plan than theirs, and in the afternoon It has been implemented throughout the city.

The problem of the thieves and robbers who flocked to King's Landing from the Seven Kingdoms was solved.

"I'm glad Will is not my enemy." Pettil laughed. The smile is elegant and charming.

"I'm also glad that he is not a King's Landlord, and I am even more happy that he is wearing black. He will leave King's Landing after the match and go back to the Great Wall. I really look forward to that day."

Petir smiled narrowly: "Does the eight-claw spider have someone to fear?"

"If Ed Stark's plan was indeed told by Will, I would really be afraid of such people. He showed that there is a really good way, but he told us another way, and then told Stark that it is better Yes, let Stark defeat us. He is so petty and shows off his intelligence, I really hope he can live a long life."

"Yes, may the seven gods bless him." Pettil leaned politely. "Goodbye, Lord Varys."

Varys nodded and watched Pettil leave.

Varys has his own hut in the Red Fort, and Petir also has it. But Petir runs two-thirds of the brothels in Junlin City. Hundreds of mid-range and high-end brothels bring him a steady stream of golden dragon coins every day. He has to go back to the brothel every night to read his account books. After finishing the account book, Petir naturally rested in the brothel.

Petir walked out of the Red Fort, crossed the pebble square, and entered Hook Alley.

Hook Alley is very narrow and quiet.

This morning, after the lord and knights of the whole city with their attendants, free riders, and hired riders moved out of Junlin City and settled in the martial arts field outside the city, the whole Junlin suddenly became quiet from the noise.

Petir was in a good mood. He was about to walk to the entrance of Hook Alley, but suddenly stopped, his entire body straightened up. In front, a black bear-like man leaned against the wall. Although the man did nothing and was still wearing a white bandage on his right hand, Petir knew that there was a fierce beast standing there.

He turned around resolutely and walked quickly. Hook Alley is very narrow and the houses on both sides are tall, but it is very close to the Red Fort, and the light of the torches on both sides of the road is enough. Just walk out of Hook Alley and shout, and the guards on the wall of the Red Fort will hear it.

However, Pettil suddenly nailed to the spot and stopped in a hurry.

In front, another person appeared silently, with short bald heads, long hands, and they could touch the ground while standing. The palms of those hands were also surprisingly large, at least twice that of normal people.

"Master Petir, my master invites you to have a drink." The giant hand and the little bald head said with a grin, showing two rows of white fangs.

This is a more cruel guy than that fierce beast.

Petir suddenly felt the extreme cold in the north, and his whole body was like an ice cellar. His hands, feet and fingertips tingled faintly, and the intestines in his stomach began to knot, one by one, which made him very uncomfortable.
