Chapter 504 Noble and Selfless"Night's Watch Raid Winterfell?"
Waiting in the cold wind More than an hour later, Roose Bolton waited for him to surprise him... To be precise, it was overjoyed news: this guy Igor, while betraying oneself, almost made his years of planning and waiting to be useless, but on the other hand A military operation that was so daring and brilliant that one could not help but scream, pulled him back from the edge of the cliff!
The range of emotions from anger to despair to surprise was so great and so fast that he didn't know for a moment whether to continue hating or loving this damn Night's Watch guy, Rao is Bolton's Chengfu's scheming also almost showed emotions on his face. And Varys' complexion changed from red to white to green, which made him take pleasure in other people's misfortune and laugh out loud in his mind. As for why Green Dragon flew to Igor and threw himself on the ground, Bolton simply didn't care and didn't want to look into it for a while.
"Please allow me to make a bold guess, Lord Varys." Old Flayer swallowed a smile down to his throat, and said solemnly with his usual indifferent expression, "This time, Queen may change the original arrangement and continue to stay. In the North?"
To Bolton's dismay, Varys shrugged nonchalantly, with no lost self-control: "It's the servant's job to serve, not to speculate on Your Majesty. Thoughts. Queen's itinerary, only her oneself can make a decision, we can't dare to make a ticket in advance."
"Indeed, we shouldn't speculate on our own." Bolton agreed, guessing that eunuch was confused and was just trying to force it. He calmed down and tried his best to hold his expression, "But, Lord Varys, as the Master of Whisperers, must take into account all possible situations and prepare for the monarch to take precautions? Shouldn't you think about... in case? When the Queen cancels the plan to return to the south, what should I do with the crafty plots and machinations of House Stark 'Dragon Slayer'?"
＊＊＊
The other party was right, of course Varys knew This point, although he did not soften his mouth at all, but he already agreed with it in his heart: when Daenerys found out that the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch did not fool her, and heard his message, he would definitely change the original plan, press What Igor said - see you in Winterfell in a few days!
The reason why he didn't immediately start to think and respond is just because he is trying his best to suppress the nameless fire that was ignited in his heart at the moment, trying his best not to make a fool of himself.
As a top chess player with rigorous schemes and deep foresight, Varys knows that in reality, there are bound to be all kinds of variables constantly appearing, and plans can never be implemented 100% perfectly. And to be the winner in the end, all you have to do is to be like an emotionless thinking machine, always taking into account and preparing for as many variables as possible in advance, and keeping it in place when the unexpected still happens. Calm and calm, able to find stops and solutions with a clear head.
This is the assumption, but man is not a machine after all, and anyone's patience... is limited: from the two rumors of paper, the two outbreaks of Vale's suppression of rebellion and six kingdoms' lion annihilation were triggered After the war, the situation in the Seven Kingdoms, especially the changes in the power of Dorne and Reach, were out of control, and not long ago, Daenerys suddenly and openly flew directly from the south to the land grant to participate in that shitty final battle...
oneself In the past two or three years, it seems that every day all has been working hard on "blocking the loopholes in the plan due to various strange accidents", so busy that even the mind and energy to make new plans are quite limited. Right now, when the plan to return to the south that was finally finalized also has a high probability of miscarriage again, Rao, his incredibly flexible and strong nerve, finally can't hold it back.
Things don't go well...it's normal, but there must be a limit to how often they happen, right? Accidents are called "accidents" because they happen by chance? If the result of doing a lot of planning is not as good as thinking about nothing, then what is the meaning of maneuvering?
Emotions that were about to go berserk lasted for a second or two, but they were eventually swallowed and eliminated by unparalleled rationality and excellent emotional management. After Varys let out a long breath, he stopped. The trembling of the shoulders returned to reality.
The planned bankruptcy is a foregone conclusion, and now is the time to try to stop losses and fix the problem.

"Lord Bolton, I have served several dynasties with the notoriety of The Spider on my back, and I have followed all the way from King's Landing to this North, all I want is to be able to help out. A qualified king to completely end the long civil strife in the Seven Kingdoms, restore order and peace, and bring stability and happiness to the people." Eunuch put on an expression of worrying about the country and the people, and suddenly he said something completely out of line. Come on, "What do you think of the Prince Aegon in the South?"
Roose Bolton didn't understand Varys' position on the matter, so he chose not to say anything. Understood, would you please advise me?"
"Prince and Queen are both Targaryen, and both have strong armies. If they can join forces to fight the enemy, the turbulent situation in the Seven Kingdoms can be calmed down in an instant...but otherwise , then the great cause of reunification is far away, and the common people of Limin will suffer from war for a long time. If Lord Bolton is the Queen's confidant, what would you advise her to do?"
"Marrying with Prince Aegon, we will share Governing the Seven Kingdoms?" eunuch was straightforward enough, and Old Flayer knew what to say at once, "Or at least...acknowledge each other's identities, negotiate the priority of the monarch and ministers, and agree to the outside world."
"Yes, it seems that the adults have already thought about this question, and this is the best choice for Westeros." Varys was satisfied with Bolton's quick and decisive answer, and the warm expression on his face returned to his face. With a smile: "But you know, not everyone is willing to put the interests of the country at the top. In Queen's Seven Kingdoms, inside and outside the palace, there are always some families and individuals...either for their own selfish interests, or they can't turn their heads. , always trying to stand against the trend of the times, or stoking her power lust and defensive instincts in Your Majesty's ear, preventing her from being a good and caring monarch. You say, what should we do with such a person? "
Even Roose Bolton was stunned for nearly two seconds before he understood what Varys was talking about: worthy of being the Master of Whisperers who served three dynasties, even if it was a dirty political deal, it was such a mess. The packaging also suddenly became taller - House Stark, who was unwilling to be loyal to the Queen, was "a stubborn person who blocked the trend of the times", and in Daenerys's imperial meeting, political enemies and opponents who disagreed with eunuch were "stopping the trend of the times". Q ueen becomes a minister of a good monarch"!
He is willing to help oneself deal with and destroy House Stark and replace it...in exchange for chips, or part of the price: after squeezing into the Queen's camp and becoming the new North guardian, to stand as one of the lords In the Varys faction, support his political views of "two dragons do not compete"!
…
"Lord Varys, you are the most noble and selfless person I have ever seen in my life." Roose Bolton has no intention of delving into any interest or PY deal between Varys and Aegon Targaryen , he is a pragmatic person, and the primary mission right now is to seize the opportunity to lift the House Stark that has been on his head for thousands of years in one fell swoop, and the rest are all details. He nodded, stared into eunuch's eyes, and said solemnly and sincerely: "The stubborn old school who can't keep up with the times should be eliminated and swept into the garbage heap of history; and those villains who put the interests of the kingdom at the expense of their own selfish interests. , is our common enemy!"
"It's a prize, Lord Bolton." Although not a single word about the specific transaction content was mentioned, Varys knew that the other party understood the subtext of oneself - he With a few words and a few words, he has formed a fairly solid political alliance with the future North guardian in front of him. "Let's put these future matters aside, let's go back to the topic we discussed just now... You are right, our beloved Queen has too many things to worry about. As loyal subjects, we naturally have to help her share Some worries. Regarding House Stark's sinister conspiracy, you must have a mature response plan in your mind?"
