Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 141 Illyrio's Hole Card
"That's right," Illyrio nodded, "but it's not enough at all. In fact, General Uther has always hidden his intentions very well, and until now he hasn't revealed any intention of running for the election.

Therefore, the top two candidates are all seeking his support, and his attitude is very ambiguous, although he vaguely reveals the idea of ​​supporting No.2, but it leaves room for No.1 to win over," Illyrio continued introduced,

"Hazan and I had this kind of relationship before. He tried to win me over, but he seemed very dissatisfied with me because he was unsuccessful."

"But if that's the case, why didn't you stop Prince Hazan yesterday? If Prince Hazan died in Pentos" Ian hurriedly asked.

"If Marion Frega's precious son dies in Pentos, and I prevent a master water dancer from becoming Hazan's acting warrior, then in the eyes of the richest keykeeper of the Iron Bank, Hazan's death is mine." Illyrio interrupted Ian,

"Such a contest is simply an insignificant incident that happened in the insignificant Pentos to the Palace of the Neptune, but to Marianne Frega, it is her son's life, whichever is less Which is heavier?"

"Ah" is the old fox, I have ignored this, Ian sighed secretly.

But speaking of it, Illyrio didn't seem to know that the Palace of the Sea King had instigated the two water dancers who represented Hazan in the battle, and was planning to formally declare war on the Frega family with Hazan's death.

I don't know what expression Illyrio will have when he finds out that he has destroyed the Sea King's Palace after the contest is over.

"Before doing anything, you must weigh the pros and cons and the gains and losses. If you do something that is far less harmful to the enemy than the possible revenge you may suffer, then this thing should not be done." Illyrio continued. teaching.

"I will remember, Your Excellency." Of course Ian understands this truth, but he finds that sometimes he lacks that sense of smell, that is, some things may be overlooked in the process of measuring, and this sense of smell may need experience to make up for it.

"And the ambassador of Oranto and I have a good personal relationship," Illyrio said again, "He has been trying to win me over to Marion Frega's camp. I thought of taking this opportunity to sell me to Oranto yesterday. It's just a favor, I just didn't expect Hazan to find a way to persuade Viserys himself, and didn't give Oranto a chance to ask me."

Didn't expect it, that was my cue to Hazan Ian touched his nose.

"But no matter what, you will always offend the Volantis Party by doing this, right? This still destroys your neutral position in Pentos." Ian suddenly wanted to take this opportunity to get more news about the internal struggle in Pentos. So a new question was raised.

"What kind of thing is the Volantene Party?" Illyrio took another bite of the bread, and then tore off a quail leg, with a rare expression of disdain on his face.
"Unless Volantis is ruled by the Tiger Party again, the so-called Volantene Party is just a fly. If I hadn't helped them a lot secretly in order to make them fight Hazan, they would have been killed Hazan was crushed to death.

Even the governor of Tetrus, one of the two pillars of the Volantis Party, defected to the Volantis Party because the Iron Bank rejected his blackmail and retaliated against him. of.Would they dare to be dissatisfied with me? "

"But if Governor Tetrus loses his son in this contest."

"Governor Gloro Tetrus has seven sons, not counting illegitimate children."

Er. Ian suddenly wanted to laugh.

"Then since Suda Tetrus is so unimportant and the Volantis party is so weak, why did Prince Hazan agree to Suda's invitation to the contest? He doesn't need to take the risk himself, does he?" Ian Suddenly a new question came to mind.

Illyrio, who was eating, looked up at Ian, as if he was a little surprised that Ian could think of this question.

"To be honest, I also had doubts at the beginning. Hazan is a very smooth person. It stands to reason that he should not agree to such an invitation, so I asked people to investigate carefully for a long time."

"What about the conclusion?"

"The conclusion involves a woman. Have you met Hazan's fiancée Delive? How does she make you feel?"

"Shocked." Ian thought for a while and said, this is the truth.

"This is the answer. My little mouse collected a lot of clues, and finally I found that since Hazan was with Delive, he always seemed irritable, irritable and narrow-minded when it came to that woman, and Usually he is completely different
It's normal, no matter how scary a man is, when something in his crotch takes control of his head, he becomes... less understandable.

This reminds me of a friend of mine who doesn't have such troubles, so he is always so wise. "

The thing in the crotch seized control of his head. Inexplicably, Ian thought of his absurd idea last night.

Inside the city of Pentos, there are Illyrio's intelligence network and private soldiers, and there are [-] roaring warriors of Khal Drogo outside, and the player Ender Poole has not been killed, and Gini Taime has not been found yet. Under such circumstances, such an idea that the benefits are far lower than the risks was born.

This is probably what Illyrio said about the situation, right?

"Do you have any other questions?"

"Without Your Excellency, since everything is in your plan, then I can rest assured." Ian complimented without any trace.

This is a great result, because in this way, I can directly help Hazan without making up new excuses.

"Very good." For some reason, Illyrio became more and more satisfied with Ian, "but I didn't want to discuss this issue with you when I called you here today."

"What is your Excellency looking for me for?" It can't be that you want to adopt me as a foster son, right?

"You have met Viserys, how do you feel about him?" Illyrio directly asked a question that was a bit outrageous for a courtier.

"Your Majesty?" Ian froze for a moment, then blurted out, "Aegon the Conqueror is reborn."

Illyrio didn't expect to get such an answer. He opened his mouth, closed it again, blinked his eyes, and tried very hard to control the movements on his face. Finally, he couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

"Aegon the Conqueror is alive! Hahaha," Illyrio repeated loudly, "Aegon the Conqueror is alive!"

Seeing Illyrio's expression of seeing a ghost, Ian explained: "Only the king has ever judged his subjects. How can a subject judge the king? If the king makes a mistake, it must be because his courtiers failed to give Correct advice."

"Very good, tactful, this is the most basic skill of a politician, I taught you this," Illyrio praised with satisfaction, he himself forgot whether he had taught Ian this, "It seems that you really Learned well."

"But today," Illyrio changed the subject, "I hope to have an open and honest conversation with you. What do you think of Viserys?"

This time, from Illyrio's serious tone, Ian suddenly realized that this might be the prelude to Illyrio telling himself the existence of 'Aegon VI'.

And his next answer will determine whether he can truly enter Illyrio's core plan.

　Explain two questions:
　　1. Raise books. Many book friends are saying that the update is slow and they want to raise books. My suggestion is that they can be raised. This book uses a lot of tricks and reasoning in the writing method. The experience of reading a volume in one breath is definitely better than chasing. It's much better. Anyway, I don't want any grades anymore, and now I just want to write a good story.

　　2. Skip ordering, I found some book friends skipping ordering in the background. How should I put it, remind me that it is easy to skip key clues, which will affect the subsequent reading experience
