Chapter 540

Chapter 540 difference between Heaven and EarthIgor was thinking, but Petyr didn't wait for him to think about it. Self-talk revealed the answer.
"What makes me suspicious is the 'marriage' - what is the relationship between Braavos and the little Aegon, as for the two million Golden Dragon plus 'Free Cities' approval' as a bargaining chip to put pressure on the Queen, work hard Trying to facilitate this union?" Littlefinger's tone was as cold as the weather, "My first reaction at the time was: The Iron Vault must have negotiated terms with that little Aegon, the terms that the Queen would not agree to, the 'Prince' early It has been fully recognized, and it is only owed to the queen to cash it. He used overdraft and betrayal of Westeros national interests in exchange for the support of Free Cities."
Very normal thinking, a little brainy Everyone can imagine that Igor nodded silently and waited for the next words.
"If that's the case, then it can only be considered that these lenders are too treacherous to blame the little Prince shameless - after all, with his disadvantage, there would be no way if it weren't for this. The way out. But another single thought that followed, made me have one's hair stand on end." He leaned closer to Igor and whispered in a heavy tone: "I was looking back at my leisure, and suddenly thought--only A father would be willing to bleed so much for his son's marriage. Is it possible... The Iron Vault is not 'just negotiated terms with little Aegon', but is his 'father' from the very beginning? This 'Prince' is just Braavos casually A boy with Valyria bloodline characteristics that was picked out as a puppet, or even the biological child of a powerful person? Varys and his companions hidden in the shadows, do they want to swallow the whole Westeros in one gulp in this way and let Seven Kingdoms has become Free Cities' backyard for harvesting resources and extracting money? Could it be that this little Aegon has never had any sense of existence for more than ten years, but as soon as he appeared on the scene, he could immediately have both sides... both large sums of money The real reason why money is available, and the support of such a strong army as the Golden Corps, and effortless has been recognized by the Free Trade Castle?"
"It seems that it makes sense..."
One A lot of rhetorical questions came down, Igor's pupils opened slightly, and the hair on his body stood up. It's not because of Petyr's whimsical but terrifying guess - in fact, oneself has had similar suspicions for a long time, but because: the same idea, oneself relies on the amount of information of the transmigrator and the God's perspective of the original readers. In conclusion, the Littlefinger in front of him, forcibly as the native of this world who was in the game, with some subtle clues, deduced bits and pieces!
What kind of intuition does this require?
……
What Igor didn’t know was that in fact even Petyr oneself didn’t quite believe in this extreme inference, so he ran to talk about it, more than a reminder and a warning. Above is the idea of "exaggerating the level of terror of the enemy to make this 'anti-Varys alliance' closer".
But seeing Igor in a daze, Littlefinger also said that Lord Commander of the Night's Watch was frightened by oneself's speculation, so he quickly added a few words of comfort: "Don't be too nervous, The above are just my most extreme conjectures, and the actual situation is not necessarily so bad - even if it is, just remember this: you and I join forces, and there is no problem or enemy in the world that can't be settled."
Igor put away the surprised nodded and expressed his approval. He was about to say something when a few angry men passed by not far from the two of them and the guards, their foul-mouthed voices were so loud that they were several meters away. Clear and audible. For the sake of secrecy, Night's Watch had to temporarily close his lips, but when the small group of people passed by, he suddenly realized two problems: one, he seemed to have heard a few insulting words to Daenerys; two, oneself The identities of these people were not identified from their clothing features.
"Who are those?"
He was alert: either the black clothed Legion of oneself in Winterfell is the Unsullied of Queen Daenerys, and the rest of the House Stark members he is a There should be no strangers - especially such strange strangers.
Littlefinger apparently heard part of it, coldly snorted: "Just a bunch of despicable pirates, let's not mention it."
It turned out to be Ironmen, now Igor remembered it, recently Winterfell has two groups of uninvited guests in a row, one from the Braavos Iron Vault in the east, which he has already seen, and the other from the Iron Islands in the west, claiming to negotiate under the banner of peace - but the object is the Queen himself. Not her royal predecessors, I don't know what sly plan they are playing.
If you have any questions, just ask, but the Hand of the Queen is standing next to you.
"What did they come to Your Majesty for, has the Prime Minister heard of it?"
"I'm going to tell you if you don't ask." Littlefinger put away the discussion of the Iron Vault The nervous expression he had with Varys showed obvious sarcasm and contempt on his face, "It was the messenger sent by Euron, who gave the Queen some gift, Your Majesty began to think that they came to be loyal, and was quite happy, Until they make a request."
"A request?" Igor wondered.
"They announced that as long as Your Majesty was willing to marry 'King of the Iron Islands' Euron Greyjoy, the Islands would renounce Stannis' legal status and change flags for the Queen with the strongest navy of the Westeros. Fight." Littlefinger shrugged: "After Your Majesty politely refused, the idiot took the lead and asked her to think about it... There was a threat between the lines. The Queen was annoyed and ordered them to leave Winterfell today - 'If someone returns tomorrow morning. Yes, you don't have to go', Your Majesty's original words."
"Huh? No way, haha..." Not much laughter, but Igor was really happy this time - no wonder that A few people with dirty mouths came all the way to send messages, and they didn't even have a room. It was already dark today, and they were ordered to leave immediately and had to spend the night in World of Ice and Snow. It was really miserable. of. As it happens, it's still them having only oneself to blame.
Would it be nice if every enemy was this stupid?
The same name with an iron character, "Iron Islands" and "Iron Vault", the performance of the two gangs, is simply a difference between Heaven and Earth.
The iron vault requirement is frustrating, but even a talented person like Petyr and a cheating transmigrator like Igor have to think about it. Why? People have this capital! The strength of Braavos itself cannot be underestimated, and through diplomatic and economic methods, it also has a decisive influence and control ability on most of the known world - it can be said that the entire external environment of Westeros.
But what is Euron Crow's Eye?
Notoriety of a lunatic, and Westeros strongest navy?
Iron Islands has the strongest water power of the Seven Kingdoms, but it is built up by numbers and human life, and has no real value. It is because the former are too busy with the civil war in the continent to take care of them. Not to mention Igor's inter-era artillery ship planning, just Reach, Storm or Westerlands or even North, if you are willing to leave other disputes and concentrate on developing the navy and it will die, relying on the size advantage, only rely on contemporary ships I can fight back and forth with them with weapons and weapons...
It's just such a small place where you want nothing, don't hurry up and swear allegiance to which side, but instead toad lusting after a swan's flesh , trying to shake the political situation of the entire Westeros and swallow the Seven Kingdoms in one bite... Daenerys is not Cersei, who was trapped in King's Landing in the original plot. She holds a lot of good cards, and she is too ambitious after being washed by oneself. Doing some major event business, it's weird to give them a good face.
But then again, no matter how unpopular the Iron Islands are, after all, they are also a force. Even if "King of the Iron Islands" is a pseudo-king to anyone, it is still an Island Lord. A negotiator with a bit of self-cultivation and shrewdness came to show his good intentions and love. Even if Daenerys looked down on him, he would never order the expulsion directly like overturning the table. But... just feeling the quality of the Euron messengers from a distance just now, Igor can imagine how this group of rough people annoyed Dragon Queen.
There is such a huge force behind the iron vault. When you want to coerce and lure the Queen, you still know to send professionals, through oneself and Petyr, and other important ministers to do it in a curve, and hide the threats in a bunch of circles. In the subtext, these guys are so good, they didn't even bring one of Maester, and went straight to the Queen stupidly, so seeking death, not being tied to bathing in dragon flames, Daenerys is invaluable to keep sane.
Happy to be happy, after a brief relaxation, Igor quickly thought of another thing.
Since Euron can still send someone over to propose marriage, he is obviously not dead, so what happened to Asha who had led two subordinates and brought a bunch of equipment solemnly vowed to kill him?
Is it because of an accident on the way home, I was caught when I was implementing the plan, or I was halfway through and suddenly gave up and didn't want to be a Kinslayer...
Littlefinger didn't know that oneself's allies were already secretly rubbing The ground "send" out of the assassin, and while Igor was thinking, he took out a piece of something next to him, and interrupted the other's thoughts: "Either the Iron Vault or the Iron Islands, it's all behind us. I only need to worry about an opponent, but there is a problem happening right now... It needs to be solved urgently." Petyr said, handing the things in his hand to Igor, "This matter is of a special nature, I am not convenient for oneself to come forward, I am afraid I will trouble Lord Commander. I'm done."
Igor took it and found it was a wrinkled note. When he opened it, he saw that it was densely packed and filled with words. It was obvious that he had not even started to read a single word. It was inexplicably familiar. The senses asserts the senses.
He opened the piece of paper completely and brought it in front of him, beckoning the guard with the oil lamp in his hand to come closer, and under the orange-yellow flame, he began to look closely at the content.
[My name is Hugh, I squired for the late Prime Minister Jon Arryn for many years, and I must be dead when someone sees this note.
...]
Igor's heart almost jumped as if he had just finished reading the first line.
The next content doesn't need to be read, he can memorize it - for no reason, every sentence and every word on it is fabricated and written by him himself, which is exactly what he did back then. In order to protect the nascent Night's Watch industry and prevent it from making random moves due to the war... The props used by Littlefinger, who was the former Master of Coin at the time, as a small soldier, successfully forced him to escape from Westeros through the power of rumors.
After years and many twists and turns, how could Petyr still keep this note in his hand? He suddenly took it out to show oneself today, did he find some clues, or did he mean something else?
