Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 113

"Have you finished packing yet?" Ian asked suddenly.

"Yes," Illyrio replied, and then said, "tell me what you said when you talked to Tarobane, tell me all you remember."

"Haven't you already checked everything? It's about the slave ship."

"Without disturbing Tarobane, I can only find out that you were talking to him at the time, Sir Ian, my 'little mice' are not real mice after all, and it is impossible to enter the range where you can hear your conversation .

It's only from your fact that you sent people to inquire about the 'Broken Spear' that I suspect that your talk was about slave trade. "

Fuck? "So you were cheating on me?" Ian twitched his lips.

"This is just a normal method. Because the slave trade happened in my chamber of commerce, it really touched my bottom line. This may not only involve me in the party struggle in Pentos, but also anger Braavos. Ambassador Lanto.

How about it?Is your decision to tell me everything, or to stand by your honor? "Illyrio chuckled, very satisfied with Ian's surprised appearance.

"I want to stick to my honor. But Tarobane seems to have lied to me a lot." Ian shook his head and began to recount the details of his conversation with Tarobane, "That's the way it is. There's obviously a lot going on here, isn't there?
According to what you said, Tarobane's slave trade has already touched your bottom line, so he is already ready to escape!
My appearance was an accident. When he asked me for help, he said that he had no other way to solve the problem of the 'Broken Spear'. But he is a servant and he is still packing up his belongings, which means that his idea of ​​running away came after seeing me. This came out so weird.

"Of course he doesn't need to prepare to escape in advance. I've checked. The last ship of Talobine was shipwrecked and sunk a year ago. He doesn't have a ship in hand, so the slave ship he mentioned It doesn't belong to him either." Illyrio explained Ian's question.

"Then the problem is even bigger. If the matter of the slave ship cannot be found out on his head, why would he expose such a matter by himself?" Ian spread his hands, unless he wanted to keep me. Kill the 'Brokenspear' evidence, and then use it to prove that Illyrio was involved in the slave trade.

"Can you think of anything?" Illyrio asked with great interest. To be honest, Ian's ability to think of these questions gave him a bright feeling. He hadn't seen such a smart young man for a long time. Yes, this made him feel a sense of pity.

"This..." Ian 'thought' for a while, but still shook his head, "I can't think of it."

"You promised to help Tarobane kill the 'Broken Spear' who threatened him after the banquet, but he decided to run away. Judging from the fact that his servants are packing up their belongings, it's actually a good idea for him to leave Pentos this time. He is planning to come back, so when is he planning to escape?" Illyrio guided consciously.

"After I killed the 'Broken Spear'? The reason why he is going to come back is to prevent me from finding someone else after the banquet and giving up the plan to kill the 'Broken Spear'" Ian appropriately 'accepted' Ely Leo's guide.

"But why did he need to run away after I killed the Broken Spear? At that time, I had already solved his troubles, so the fact that I killed the Broken Spear itself was his trouble?!" Ian suddenly seemed to be enlightened. Something excitedly shouted out, "He wants others to think that I was sent by you to kill the Spearbreaker?"

Illyrio nodded in satisfaction.

"But...he hasn't come back yet, isn't he afraid that I will give up because I can't find him, and his plan will fail?" Ian continued to ask.

"Continue to think," Illyrio raised his hand, "what could have caused this situation to happen?"

"Is he scared? So he gave up on the action and chose to run away." Ian said casually, he wanted to show Illyrio his 'talent', and it was enough to show Illyrio his 'talent' just now, and he had to leave enough for Illyrio. teacher' space.

"Okay," Illyrio sneered, and realized that this question was too difficult for a young man from Westeros who had just arrived in Pentos, "Well, you don't know what Pentos is doing right now. situation, so it's normal that you can't think of the truth."

"Obviously," Illyrio said the answer, "either someone reminded him, or someone silenced him. He left Pentos this time to meet the mastermind behind the scenes, because in the city of Pentos, they Can't find a way to meet without being discovered by me."

"Someone instigated Tarobane? Was it the Volantis Party? After all, framing you as a slave trader can directly provoke a struggle between you and the Howcott family, and it can also damage your image in the eyes of the Braavos ambassador." Yi Eun made the most obvious guess to continue to show his greenness in politics.

"The Volantis Party? There is a possibility, after all, they are the most direct beneficiaries," Illyrio nodded, "But is it possible for the Braavos Party to take advantage of this to drive a wedge between Varan and me?" What about the Ties party?

And destroying my image in the eyes of the Oranto ambassador is also beneficial to Prince Hazan and the Braavos party, which will make them the only choice for the Iron Bank. "

Ian opened his mouth wide, as if to say 'How can this be? '

"Hahaha," Illyrio laughed, "You and Daeron, as the first Westeros nobles who came to defect to the king, must form the core of the imperial council, but if you want to do these things well, you still have to So much to learn."

"Your Excellency the Governor is willing to teach me?" Ian suddenly said "overjoyed".

"Hahaha, you are very smart. Although you still seem a little green, blind and reckless now, these are the common characteristics of young people. As long as you give you time, you will sooner or later become a big help for the restoration of the Targaryen Dynasty.

At that time, whether it is the surname, honor, territory, or wealth you want, you will have it at your fingertips. "Illyrio used the idea of ​​the restoration of the Targaryen dynasty instead of the restoration of His Majesty Viserys, which is paving the way for bringing 'Aegon VI' to the surface later.

Ian knew that he was now officially included in Illyrio's plan.

Speak in a teaching and guiding tone as a senior to strengthen your dominant position in the relationship between the two parties.

While pointing out the shortcomings of the other party, draw a big cake and imply that as long as the other party gets your help, you can eat this big cake, so as to arouse the other party's expectation of serving yourself.

Illyrio's speech in the second half of today's conversation is the standard art of manipulating people. If it is a real young man without a "player's perspective", he will be tamed and tamed by Illyrio.

But Ian, who has seen through Illyrio's words, only needs to follow Illyrio's words to cooperate with him, and he can perfectly leave Illyrio with the impression that he has been dominated by him, thereby further gaining his trust.

This is the art of anti-controlling people.
