Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 168 Pentos Rhapsody ([-])

"Congratulations, Your Highness." Seeing Hazan walking towards him, Ian also greeted him with a smile, "You made that villain Suda pay the price."

"We made that villain Suda pay the price," Hazan corrected, "Without your help, I might be the one lying on the battlefield now."

Acting really like, Ian complained.

Ian had learned from Celia earlier that Hazan and the others had two plans for the outcome of this contest.

In order to avoid any clues being discovered by Illyrio, they decided that both sides would go all out in the process of recruiting, and they would also play for real during the game.

However, if Su Da's side is going to win in the end, let the guards of the Prince's Palace rescue Hazan on the spot and prevent him from participating in the rest of the competition.Then the governor of Tetrus can ask for the convening of the Great Council on the grounds that Hazan disrupted the game, and then trick Illyrio to go to the Council Palace for mediation.

If Hazan's side wins in the end, Hazan will publicly humiliate Suda and the entire Tetrus family in the battle.In this way, Governor Tetrus could use this reason to request the convening of the Great Council, and Jin tricked Illyrio into the Palace of the Great Council for mediation.

Considering that the former situation would damage Hazan's reputation and honor, they added an agreement to try to ensure the victory of Hazan's side if possible... This is why Governor Tetrus personally disclosed the news to A scene from Hazan.

"We are brothers, Your Highness." Ian responded to Hazan's enthusiasm, "By the way, Governor Tetrus just now"

"He asked me to go to the Palace of Parliament to publicly confess and apologize to them, I know." Hazan was noncommittal, "Don't worry, I know all of this in my heart."

"That's good," Ian nodded as if relieved.

"Then, can we discuss the commission first?" Ian then asked.

"Commission?" Hazan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Ian to have such a philistine side, he immediately laughed, "It's just a small amount of money, when you marry my sister, in the future"

"For Iron Bank, this is of course a small amount of money," you have no future... Ian whispered in his heart, "but for us, especially for His Majesty, it is already a lot of money, we They all participated in the battle in the name of His Majesty Viserys, His Majesty told me this morning to hand over to him as soon as I get the commission."

"Forget it, since His Majesty Viserys meant it, then please come with me." Hazan didn't think about reneging on debts at first, but because the civil war in Pentos was coming, he planned to ask Ian after everything was over. Payment, since Ian asked for it, it's okay to give it to him directly.

So soon, Ian followed Hazan to the back garden of the Prince's Palace.

A few minutes later, Hazan asked the servant to fetch a small box.

"Here is a gold bar worth 6000 gold dragons," Hazan consciously paid Bronn's commission three times, "Of course, I mean the old gold dragon, not the new chancellor of Westeros who cast it after he took office. of that rubbish."

It's no wonder that Hazan referred to the new golden dragons in the past two years as rubbish. Since the right to coin the Iron Throne was controlled by 'Littlefinger' Petyr Baelish, the gold content of the newly minted golden dragons was less than half of the original.

Ian didn't count the money face to face. After all, it's impossible for a person like Hazan to be small enough to mess with such a small amount of money.

After he asked Luo Er to take the box, he said goodbye to Hazan: "Since there is nothing else, please allow me to leave. I don't want His Majesty to wait too long."

"Wait, Ian," Hazan stopped Ian, "Actually, I do have other things here. What do you think of Governor Illyrio?" He suddenly asked.

"Uh..." Ian blinked, as if he didn't understand what Hazan was saying, "Why did you ask such a question? Is it related to the matter I promised to help you persuade Governor Illyrio to join our camp? "He pretended to be stupid.

"No," Hazan shook his head, "What I'm going to tell you next may be a bit shocking to you, but I hope you can listen to me patiently. This matter is also very important to you." And harmless."

"What?" I've already been horrified, and what I'm not going to tell you next will be really horrifying to you.

"I'm sorry I have to wait a while to tell you, but now is not the time. Maybe you can stay and finish lunch with us."

"I can't refuse this request, can I?"

"To be on the safe side... no, but I sincerely hope for your understanding."

The clouds in the sky are a bit thick, crowded in the sky and black and dense, almost completely covering the sun's brilliance, making the sky look extraordinarily gloomy.

Illyrio's luxurious four-wheeled carriage left his mansion and headed towards the Parliament Palace. There were 32 eunuchs and warriors guarding the carriage.

Just now, the herald of the Palace of Parliament found him and told him that Governor Gloro Tetrus chose to convene the Great Council because his family was insulted by Prince Hazan, and he wanted to find Prince Trager Mohali The Si father and son asked for an explanation.

The herald's attitude was anxious, as if a civil war were about to befall Pentos.

At the same time, many dignitaries in Pentos, including Governor Howcott and the prince himself, also sent envoys to Illyrio, hoping that he would preside over the mediation.

After receiving these people, Illyrio quickly agreed, and then ordered the servants to prepare the carriage, and rushed to the governor's council together with the herald.

"Your Excellency Illyrio, I have rarely seen you so anxious." The herald said jokingly.

"Princess Daenerys and Khal Drogo's wedding next week," sighed Illyrio Mopatis, drawing back the purple velvet curtains, "and I hope there will be no trouble in Pentos. "

"There shouldn't be any trouble," the herald shrugged. "Governor Tetrus just wanted to save face. He has always been a strong man."

"What exactly happened? Tell me in detail first." Illyrio picked a strawberry from the table in the sedan chair and stuffed it into his mouth, "Didn't the contest of life and death be agreed at the beginning?" ? Why did Hazan humiliate the Tetrus family?"

"The young man fell in love with the head. Hazan actually asked Suda to kneel down in front of so many nobles of Pentos, and finally abolished him without killing him. How could he tolerate such a character with Governor Tetrus? What kind of thing?" The herald's tone was helpless.

"I don't think it will work even if you intervene in this matter," the herald continued. "In this morning's contest, King Viserys' knights played for Hazan in more than half of the matches. of.

You are the protector of His Majesty Viserys in Pentos, so rumors spread that you have formed an alliance with Prince Hazan, which is why Prince Hazan dared to provoke the Tetrus family so forcefully. "

Illyrio's face froze when he heard the words, as if even a half-eaten strawberry was not fragrant, he put the half strawberry back on the plate, remained silent for a long time, and finally said, "Damn it."

Seeing this, the herald stopped talking and silently looked out of the window.

Then, under Illyrio's order, the coachman accelerated his driving pace, and the gorgeous four-wheeled carriage galloped on the wide cobblestone avenue of Pentos, leaving behind a hasty back.
