56 The Wind and Rain Rises (Remastered)

Although he felt that these two little guys were a little anxious, Lan Li decided to continue following the scheduled plan, because he thought about it and then, and it felt that this was actually nothing big.

However, this idea disappeared without a trace after the incident actually happened, and made Lan Li realize what kind of creature the naughty child is.

Shortly after the conversation, the two children suddenly discovered a secret passage behind the wall on the bed while playing indoors. Then, the twins who seemed to be very brave were actually frightened because they looked too dark inside.

Obviously, under this situation, they could not remember Lan Li's "instructions", so they screamed in panic and asked the guards to break in, and then the entrance to the secret passage in Mei Ge Tower was completely exposed to everyone's sight.

...

"Megg once ordered the execution of all the craftsmen who built the Red Fort, which we should have guessed long ago." Duke Tywin of the Western Frontier told his three younger brothers when he learned about this.

"How did those two children find out?"

"While playing, I accidentally touched the switch." Gillian Lannister, the youngest brother of the Duke, said amusingly: "I heard that they were asking for credit from Robert who rushed over. They said it was a great achievement. I am really curious how our Lord Redwin educated his two precious sons so interestingly."

"This is indeed a great achievement." Another younger brother, Tygate Lannister, snorted coldly: "I am more curious about how our Lord Robert should reward these two little boys in the riverside land. Old Redwin is not very happy to send his two sons as hostages."

"This has nothing to do with us for the time being." The Duke's second brother Kevon said as he looked at the eldest brother who was listening to Jingjing.

"I heard that Stark took his men to Dorn."

"Because of his sister?"

"I can't think of any other reason besides this." Kevin said, meaningfully: "Rayga took away the wolf girl for so long, and what should have happened has happened long ago. This may be an opportunity. Our good niece is no worse than any girl, as long as Robert..."

"This may not be big." His younger brother Gillian frowned: "I heard that our Lord Robert loved the Stark's wolf girl to death."

"I love it so much that I can't help but go to the brothel every two days?" Tigate, with dazzling blonde hair, said with a sarcastic look when he heard this, "I also heard that he had an illegitimate daughter in the valley."

"This can only say that he is energetic in some aspects, but sometimes it does not affect his feelings. Which lord does not have an illegitimate child outside?" Gillian said, suddenly thinking about something and adding another sentence.

"Except our elder brother."

After hearing this, the person involved in his mouth just glanced at his younger brother silently, and then calmly said: "I have some ideas about Cersei, but at present we should consider James. Since Robert is about to sit on the Iron Throne, the Royal Guards in the previous dynasty may not be able to count them."

The Imperial Guards are a noble position. They are responsible for protecting the king and swearing to never marry for life. After joining the office, they represent giving up their previous status and rights, and in exchange for a white robe of honor and lifelong honor.

However, not everyone is eager for such honors. At least, Duke Tywin has always been dissatisfied with his heir being named the Imperial Guard by the Crazy King of the previous dynasty. He is just such a qualified son. Being an Imperial Guard means that his son has to give up the inheritance rights of the Lannister family in the West, which is obviously malicious.

...

At this time, there were countless nobles of all sizes in the city of King Land, and they each had their own ideas and demands. The winner was ready to share the benefits, and the losers wanted to recover the losses. The changes brought by a war were enough to affect the fate of the entire family, let alone the change of dynasty.

However, despite the undercurrents, the incident of the Red Fort Secret Pass still attracted their attention.

The Tuli family in Hejian land, the Tyrier family in Hewan land, the Lannister in the west, the Ailin in the valley, and the secondary lords under their respective commands cannot ignore this matter if the family size reaches a certain level, and some are even shocked and sweated.

There had been a secret passage in the Red Fort before, but it did not attract much attention because there was no clue or sufficient evidence to prove it. However, the facts were in front of them and they could not be ignored.

The mere secret passage of Meigelou is actually not too scary. After all, it is the residence of the royal family. Except for some great nobles who once had marriage relationships with the royal family, most nobles do not think they can have any connection with Meigelou.

But since there are secret passages in even the most important Meige Tower in Red Fort, what about other places?

Prime Minister's Tower, Throne Hall, White Sword Tower, Virgin House, and even the sacred temple in the castle... Red Castle, as the core of the entire kingdom, is naturally the center of politics and power.

It is hard to say that the nobles of Westeros have no members living or employed in this place.

Countless political decisions, countless conspiracies, poisoning, betrayal, dirty, power struggle...

People mostly keep disguised outside, but who will still wear masks in their room?

Not to mention that the secret passage can not only be used to eavesdrop on news, but also allows people to enter the royal living rooms without any obstacles.

Even the king's residence is the same, wouldn't other places be even more unsafe?

Many people were eager to know how many secrets the entire castle was, so the day after the entrance to the secret passage was exposed, a thorough search began in the Red Castle. Unlike before, the searches that realized the seriousness of the problem were even mixed with destructive nature.

Then, as expected, people discovered secrets in one building after another, and it was difficult for everyone to remain calm when they saw everything.

The entire Red Fort seemed to be full of holes.

So before the new king was crowned, the proposal to rebuild the Red Fort was placed on the temporary imperial conference table.

...

In general, this is actually a good thing. After all, it is a period of changing dynasties. No matter what, all the past are basically impossible to count. Even if there are many dirty things that may be learned, it was launched in the previous dynasty. Can the new king still be investigated?

However, some people are happy and some are worried. Most people like to hear about the exposure of secret passages, but a bald fat man who loves to spit on his body is in trouble.

As the intelligence chief, it is hard not to doubt that the eight-clawed spider Varis has long known about the existence of this secret passage. After all, this person has always been known for his unexpected mystery and unattainable intelligence capabilities. Now it seems that it is because he mastered the Red Fort secret passage?

If this is true, how many secrets did he master?

Countless hostility, both open and secret, was thrown into the chubby and slim eunuch who looked chubby and had no threat, which made the person involved suffer for a while.

As the Minister of Intelligence in the previous dynasty, he was quite respected by the Crazy King. Now that the Red Fort has changed its master, he still retains his original status. Naturally, it is impossible that Robert's thick lines have no grudges against the enemy's confidant, but Varis proved his ability and his value in front of him.

That's why he saved his status and life.

But now...

He felt that this was strange. Why did the first boy just fall into the secret passage and someone went to scare another couple behind him, and then they found out?

Any enemy discovers their own secrets? Then use the children to target them?

Many faces flashed through Varis' mind, but he was not sure.

What he didn't know was that because of the unreliability of the twins, he did not step into the trap set by someone's words, otherwise the situation would have been worse.

But just now, he is already in a state of anxiety.

How to eliminate others' suspicion, how to conceal your past actions, and how to regain the trust of the new king...

However, when something happened, it temporarily suppressed the limelight of this incident and relieved some pressure on Varis-

The Duke of Northland Ed Stark returned from Dorn and is currently rushing towards King's Landing. At the same time, the raven wrote a letter, the Duke's sister, Leanna Stark, Robert Baratheon's fiancée, and the wolf girl who caused the war, had unfortunately died of illness in Dorn.
