Chapter 186

"Living forever" is an ancient proverb of the tiller family, which also explains the way of survival of the family.

Different from the tenacity of the stark family and the arrogance of the Lannister family, the Tyrell family has never been good at military, let alone fight to the end for "principle" and "dignity".

To be exact, they have not won a beautiful war since records began. The only war that can be regarded as victory can be traced back to the period when the gardener family ruled the river bend.

At that time, osmon Tyrell United 40 families, finally defeated the peck family and the Mandalay family who tried to compete for the throne of the high court, established Munn gardener VI as king, and restored the unity of the broken River kingdom.

It was also because of this hard won victory that the tiller family married the youngest daughter of Munn gardener VI and successfully integrated the blood of "green hand" gars into their family, so as to obtain the so-called "legal" inheritance and rule.

Since then, the tiller family has never won any war or local battle. Whether it is the battle between the conqueror and the Dragon King AEGON during the war, or the famous black fire rebellion and usurper war, all they finally get is failure.

Normally, such a family that has been defeated repeatedly should have been swept out of the stage of history.

Interestingly, the tiller family has not become weak in repeated defeats, but has become more and more prosperous. Even if many ancient families in the river bend secretly despise them and laugh at them as upstarts, they are unable to change this.

The root cause is not how rich the tiller family is, nor how powerful the army is, but that they always keep in mind that while maintaining a minimum of loyalty, they marry as many families as possible and weave a huge network of interests.

In this way, even if you accidentally stand in the wrong line, the winner will consider the great chaos that can be caused by weakening or eliminating the Tyrell family and the benefits of their loyalty.

It has to be said that this is a very clever strategy, which can almost ensure that no matter who wins the final victory, it will not be too difficult for them.

Danilis's brother, the famous idiot wesselis targaryan, always believed that Tyrell would be the first to stand up and support his family when he returned to Westeros.

As the current power holder of the tiller family, olena redwin, the "Queen of thorns", is keenly aware that with the defeat of Stannis and the bloody wedding of Rob stark, the "little wolf Lord", the original stable power structure within the Seven Kingdoms has been completely broken.

At present, only the Lannister family, which looks majestic but has serious financial overdraft, is able to compete for the highest power; The matel family, who ruled the South and Dorn remained motionless; And the tiller family, which has not been affected by the war and can produce enough to feed all the population of the whole continent with fertile land.

Of course, now we have to add a young man of unknown origin who has powerful mysterious magic power and controls the terrible magic dragon.

Olena redwin is not as afraid and wary of each other as tywin. Instead, she feels that this is an opportunity, an opportunity to make the tiller family a higher level.

After all, Zhang Cheng is only a person so far. There is neither the support of a large family nor the noble blood recognized by the aristocracy.

In her opinion, if the other party wants to sit on the iron throne, he will inevitably follow the example of the conqueror AEGON. On the one hand, he will show his unstoppable power and on the other hand, he will win over and support those families who are willing to kneel at the feet of the new dynasty.

If Tyrell can express the intention of alliance before everyone else, and then weave a gentle trap to firmly catch each other's emotional world, the Tyrell family can get unimaginable benefits, especially after several generations of repeated marriage, it is uncertain that the Tyrell family can also get that incredible magic talent, And the power to control the magic dragon.

As for the young and beautiful Marguerite and ero, they have long been regarded as the victims and chess pieces of the rise of the family by the "Queen of thorns".

But before that, olena redwin still has one thing to confirm, that is, whether the other party has ambition matching its strength

Just when the Tyrell family acted secretly, Zhang Cheng was standing in the training ground on the upper floor of the Red Castle, watching Geoffrey release hot flames again and again, and joked in a semi joking tone: "Dear Tyrion, you've been standing behind me for a while. If you have anything to say, don't tell me you're here to see your nephew. Everyone knows how much you hate each other, just like ice and fire."

"Why?" the little devil suddenly asked.

"Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean. What? Why?" Zhang Cheng looked back with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Why teach him magic? You should know Geoffrey's character very well! Doing so will only make him more and more unrestrained, and more innocent victims will be burned alive." Tyrion frowned and clutched the note hidden in his sleeve.

He couldn't believe it in a dream. The young man who had been calm and rational in front of him had caused thousands of civilian deaths without saying anything, and he couldn't see any guilt afterwards, as if he had accidentally trampled on several ants instead of living people.

"HMM... what does this have to do with me?" Zhang Cheng spread his hands carelessly. "You should understand that magic is a powerful force and a dangerous force. Therefore, in the process of learning and research, you must maintain 120000 patience and vigilance. If you are careless, you will die without a burial place. I am lucky to find a very talented seedling that can be used to test unconfirmed theories and conjectures."

"So... You take Geoffrey, the king of the seven kingdoms, as an experiment?" Tyrion stared in surprise, as if he wanted to know each other again.

"That's right! By the way, there are very few people with magic talent. So far, I've only seen two, one of them is Geoffrey. It's incredible, isn't it? A deformity of close relatives and an idiot with huge personality defects can have dozens of times more talent than ordinary people. Fate really makes a cruel and interesting joke." Zhang Cheng ignored the little devil's reaction and raised his mouth slightly.

"You're a terrible madman! Aren't you afraid I'll tell Geoffrey the truth? Tell my father and sister?" Tyrion asked deadpan.

"No, why should I be afraid? Even if you tell Geoffrey, will he give up his hard won power? Obviously, he won't. He will always trust me and want more from me. And your father, tywin, still expects me to help deal with the increasingly powerful danilis, so he won't act rashly. As for your ambitious and short-sighted Shallow sister cersei, she was nothing in my eyes, at least nothing before Prince tywin died. "

After that, Zhang Cheng took up the wine glass placed on the table and handed it to the little devil. Then he touched it gently, raised his head and drank it.
