Chapter 230 Barbecue? Gambling?
Varys never expected that Jack was not only good at winning people's hearts, but also good at playing with them!
Jack obviously knew a lot about the Purple Wedding, but Varys didn't know how he knew it. He only knew that his situation was a little bad.
If he lied and said he knew nothing, Jack would definitely use that as an excuse to chop off his head.
He was very sure that Jack would do it without hesitation, because the look Jack gave him just now was full of murderous intent.
But if he told the truth, he would undoubtedly offend Tyrion. Falling out with Tyrion would have a huge impact on subsequent plans, and he might even have to revise the entire plan.
But Varys was thinking too seriously. Jack was simply trying to make things difficult for the Octopus Spider and didn't think too much about it.
After thinking for a while, Varys said vaguely:
"I believe that someone else must have poisoned the king. My little bird told me that he had heard someone secretly planning to poison the king.
But unfortunately, I didn't see its specific appearance. It was too dark at that time, and the little bird didn't dare to approach rashly. "
Varys's words were as good as nothing.
In fact, Varys was basically certain that it was Petyr Baelish and Olenna Redwyne who jointly poisoned Joffrey Baratheon.
Because his little bird had seen Petyr Baelish secretly meet Lady Olenna, just a few days before the wedding!
In King's Landing at that time, only Littlefinger and the Queen of Thorns were crazy enough to poison the king at his wedding.
But Varys probably knew why they wanted to poison Joffrey.
Lady Olenna, known as the "Queen of Thorns", would never allow her daughter to marry an unstable mad king.
As for Littlefinger Petyr Baelish, he simply wanted to create chaos.
In his words, chaos is the ladder, and since he apparently had no motive to poison the king, no one would suspect him.
It's funny that these two people, one whose granddaughter had just married Joffrey and the other who had just been crowned Duke of Harrenhal by Joffrey, ended up teaming up to poison Joffrey to death.
Varys now needs to deplete the forces of both sides and find a way to eliminate the four dragons on Jack's side.
If the South starts fighting among themselves, how can the Golden Group led by Aegon the Younger take advantage?
By then, I am afraid that Jack will even deal with the Golden Group that landed.
But Varys obviously underestimated Jack's knowledge of the Purple Wedding. After all, as someone who had watched the American TV series, Jack had innate control over some of the intelligence.
Jack narrowed his eyes and said with a forced smile: "It seems that your title of Varys the Octopus Spider is just a false name, Korakshuu, Dragon Flame."
After receiving the order, Korakshu, who was not far behind Jack, slowly came behind Jack.
The edge of the stand where Jack was standing was already filled with seats, but even with the huge size of Korakshu standing behind Jack's seat, he still exerted great pressure on Varys.
However, Varys still felt that Jack would never be willing to kill him. The little bird in his hand would have a great influence on the upcoming war between the North and the South, and this was his confidence.
Moreover, if he showed his weakness at this time, it would prove that he had deceived Jack in the first place, and his fate would not be good either.
"Your Majesty, I really don't know. The little bird is not omnipotent. Please give me some time and I will find a way to find out the truth." Varys insisted that he really didn't know.
"Dragon Flame!" Jack said lightly.
Varys's face changed drastically, and just as he was about to speak, dragon fire like magma poured directly onto Varys' body.
Varys the Octopus Spider, one of the most dangerous men in the Seven Kingdoms, turned into a pile of charcoal without even a scream.
Tyrion's eyelids twitched. Why was the flame of the red dragon different from what was recorded in the book?
Many people saw the scene in the stands, but they didn't think much about it. They just thought that some small person had offended His Majesty.
Jack killed Varys without any ripple in his heart.
He had given Varys a chance, but Varys wouldn't tell him the truth.
Of course, it is possible that Varys really doesn't know the murderer, but Varys can definitely guess that it was Littlefinger and the Queen of Thorns who did it.
But Varys didn't say it, obviously he had his own little thoughts.
The degree of harm caused by Varys's own little thoughts and Tyrion's own little thoughts is different.
This is not to look down on Tyrion, but Tyrion is much easier to control than Varys.
But if Myrcella hadn't been there, Jack felt that he would have most likely killed Tyrion, without even having to find an excuse.
"Someone, come and clean up this place. This is such a bummer." Jack waved his hand as if he was dealing with a pile of garbage.
Then Jack watched the martial arts tournament out of boredom. It turned out that some of the farmers were quite capable.
After consulting Jack, Myrcella took Tyrion to the backstage. They hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and Myrcella wanted to inquire about her mother's situation.
Jack did not refuse, but asked Walker to follow Tyrion with two guards to prevent him from escaping.
Now that he has fallen into Jack's hands, Jack naturally will not allow Tyrion to escape from his control.
