Chapter 551 Falsehood (Part 1)The wine is poisonous!
In an instant, Varys and Petyr made the same judgment next to each other. They kept silent and glanced at each other quietly - they were obviously rivals, but now they are in the same boat. The person, in a flash, instead gave birth to the feeling of if the rabbit dies, the fox grieves, and other things hurt.
This bastard is killing me! But for the two who became the target, guessing that there is a problem in the wine is only the 1st Step of escape alive, and they have to think about it next: if they refuse to drink this glass of wine...
Whether there is still Igor Backup plan?
Will he fly into a rage out of humiliation and switch to brute force?
Is Night's Watch prepared for the Queen's suspicion and anger?
The four Unsullied brought by the two people outside the door, caught off guard, can they deal with the army soldier who is twice as large as them?
The atmosphere that suddenly became harmonious a second ago, the next moment fell into a dead silence like a dark ice cave, and the two top power players who have been in the power field for decades are both chilled. The body was stiff, and they all began to frantically think about ways to escape and survive.
Varys reached into his shirt with trembling hands and grasped the dagger hidden in his bosom.
You think you can kill me? It's not that easy!
The Spider is known to the world as the Master of Whisperers of the two kings Aerys · Targaryen and Robert Baratheon, but few people know the trajectory of his life before he came to Westeros.
He is not a weak scholar who is pampered and powerless.
Because of the thin True Dragon bloodline of the Blackfyre series, he was discovered by a Blood Magician at a young age and selected for the casting material, and watched the other party cut off oneself's lower body and throw it away. Went to the flame to sacrifice to the unfathomable being and received a response.
However, after being driven out on the street with a wound that was not even bandaged and left to fend for itself, he did not choose to yield to fate and accept death, but survived strong. Began to rely on begging, stealing and even selling himself to make a living... Relying on his clever mind and flexible skills, he soon became a famous thief, and his extraordinary skills were so high-profile that he was even systematically excluded by his peers.
After Myr was targeted, he went to Pentos and became friends with Illyrio, who was just a little assassin at the time.
During the difficult years of escalating from thieves to robbers, to thieves' leader, and eventually to famed intelligence dealers and local tyrants, half of Pentos' thieves wanted to kill them, and the other half wanted to kill them. Selling stolen goods through them... In the process, Varys not only understood the truth that "the value of information is far above gold and gems", thus accumulating considerable wealth and ambition, but also learned many ways to deal with others, summed up It is a set of basic principles to protect oneself's life - including incomparable caution, careful observation and judgment, and maintaining a certain level of martial power.
Yes, although he looks bloated and fat, he is actually proficient with everything from a catapult to a slingshot and a dagger, and he is absolutely average. Above the line; not only that, in addition to taking a bath, no matter how hot the day is, he will inevitably wear a layer of Top Grade soft armor under his clothes, accompanied by a pocket dagger... He naturally cannot be on the table when participating in the competition, but Bad fights and fighting in a small space, if ordinary people see him as a eunuch and fatty, they will carelessly underestimate the enemy, and they will definitely pay the price in blood!
But today, can this little preparation save his life?
The palms of Varys are sweating: Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, the Killer of Others, the hero who leads mankind to defeat the dead... This soldier is born, has a lot of Legendary stories, it is said that the martial power is in the whole Seven Kingdoms are all ranked in the top ten, and the ruthless characters who have been killed from the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood are obviously not in the category of "ordinary people" mentioned above. Although the information shows that the legend about this person has a certain amount of moisture, but looking at his body shape, it is obvious that he is wearing armor under his clothes, and a steel essence long sword is hanging around his waist...
When you are fully armed and prepared, oneself can have several points of winning against him?
One point, or none at all?
The Adam's apple wriggled up and down for a while, knowing that today was mostly unfortunate, but the blood in Varys' chest was aroused: he has been planning for more than 20 years, and Suffer untold hardships has come to this point, but not here To be killed by a reckless man with poisonous wine! Unsullied outside the door estimated powerless to defend himself. If there is a conflict, the only way out is not to escape, but to take the initiative to attack. As long as he puts the knife on Igor's neck unexpectedly, the army soldier refrain from shooting at the rat for fear of breaking The vases didn't dare to mess around, so they retreated to the guest room that was still under the control of the Queen's guard, and took the leader of the black shirt army as a hostage, so that he and the Queen could still hope to leave Midwinter safe and sound!
Even if there is only a half chance of winning, it is better than death. Even if it is destined to stop here, he will force the other party to use violent means and never let him go his way!
Here, Varys secretly made preparations and decided to fight to the death, while Petyr opposite him had the exact opposite idea.
He doesn't have the tortuous and wonderful past, rich and varied experience and skills of Varys. He has long forgotten the crude martial skills he learned when he was young... As Igor's former ally, he is neither prepared nor Not going to fight for anything. Oneself's loyalty to Daenerys is true, but not to the point of being willing to die for her. If Igor is determined to do it, then he is naturally a talented person chooses a patron of integrity. Most of the wine is poisonous at the moment, but if Igor is poisoned or not, it is still uncertain. He has already made a plan in his heart: Varys will definitely refuse to drink this wine. Oneself is to follow suit, and if he turns his face...
oneself immediately knelt down to show his loyalty, saying that only he can match the position of the Lord of Westeros, and persuaded him to hold the Queen hostage to make Seven Kingdoms, To be the uncrowned king.
I just don't know, is it too late?
……
The two people sitting have their own thoughts, but they are both in a flash and tremblingly make plans for oneself, but over there, Igor, who is standing, does it again. It was an unexpected move for the two of them.
After he finished saying "drink this cup together to celebrate", he actually raised his head up, drank it all in one go, and put the glass upside down and put it back on the table. , and then looked towards the remaining two with innocent eyes of waiting and questioning, as if questioning with his eyes: Why don't you drink?
What's going on here?
I'm so ready to go, have you given me a drink? !
Varys and Littlefinger feel trapped in a bigger and deeper cloud of suspicion. For the self-proclaimed smart people, there is nothing in the world that can make them more anxious and uncomfortable than this: they finally got through the layers of fog and felt that they had figured out the truth of the matter, but they immediately discovered that this was not the case at all.
Varys tried his best to hide his surprised expression, but he couldn't help but open his eyes slightly, as if he wanted to better observe the surroundings by increasing the light-receiving area:
Liquor, the squire just now Falling down in front of everyone, he watched the whole time, and didn't see any tricks;
The cup, he sat at the table for a while before Petyr arrived, and was sure it was clean and not pre-placed the poison;
Igor, indeed, drank the entire contents of his glass without leaving a drop, neither in his mouth nor out of the corners of his mouth.
Well...
Varys quietly set his sights on the pouring device: he had heard of a craftsman in the far east who had made a well-structured poisonous wine The pot - on the surface, looks nothing different, but there is a hidden mystery inside. It is ingeniously divided into two compartments, which can be filled with two kinds of wine. Through the corresponding two through holes, the air pressure can be used to control it to pour out any A desired drink, is it possible that Igor uses this trick?
Regrettably, what Squire left at the end of the table when he left was an ordinary open jug - there was no closed lid, and the transparent material of the glass also made it possible to see through at a glance. Nothing complicated.
Then...
He looked towards Igor again - maybe, the wine is indeed poisonous, but this guy has already swallowed the taken antidote, so he can drink the poisoned wine without fear , to tempt him to make wrong judgments, to be fooled without warning?
Shaking his head secretly, even Varys oneself doesn't believe this guess. He is not an ignorant idiot, he believes whatever he listens to. He has traveled around half a known world by himself, and has killed many people who get in his way by various means. He can be regarded as an expert in poison, but he has never met What kind of deadly poison has a reliable antidote - that thing is just something that Bard and novelists imagined for the sake of making up stories... To put it bluntly, at this stage, it is known that Maester, the doctor and the According to the research and understanding of substances by the Alchemists, human beings only know what can poison to death people, and they cannot even figure out why it can do this. How can we formulate antidote?
It is true that some medicines can curb the effects of poisons to a certain extent, but at best, they can only be regarded as diluting the poisons and helping people hang their lives. After the end, there will inevitably be repercussions. With Igor's current order, it can be With the big advantage of smashing anyone in Winterfell, including Queen, could he use oneself's health as a trick to kill oneself?
This doesn't make sense.
Excluding all impossible, the conclusion is very clear: since the other party dares to drink the wine in one go, it means that his glass of wine is absolutely fine.
Either Igor poisoned oneself's wine in some way that oneself has not seen or thought of - this is unlikely; Created an atmosphere that made them think that the wine was poisonous, so that oneself and Petyr could be fiercely disarmed, so that they were scared to make a fool of themselves, and never had the face or the courage to oppose it!
wishful thinking!
But the truth is, this kid almost did it!
Varys, who felt that he had been tricked, was instantly relieved from having one's hair stand on end at the last moment of his life, but then another Evil Thought rise in the mind: since being beaten by Myr's thief row After being crushed and driven out of the city-state, he hasn't been teased, covered in dirt, in years!
Today, let you be proud of yourself, and tomorrow, it will make you die as ugly as possible!
Furious and furious, Varys made up his mind with what little reason he had left: Even if there was only one chance that the cup might be poisonous, he would never drink it.
Putting on an expression of helplessness and guilt, he shook the head: "Lord Commander, I'm really sorry, I've been feeling unwell recently. This good glass of wine... I'm afraid I won't have the good fortune."
