Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 173 Pentos Rhapsody ([-])

The carriage, guarded by a full 50 Unsullied, passed the corner of Wine Barrel Street.

Ian was riding a tall maroon horse, surrounded by knights, in front of the carriage.When he saw the gaze of a familiar figure at the corner of the street, he gently lifted a corner of the curtain of the carriage beside him, allowing the other party to see the pair of silver-haired boys and girls in the carriage, and then nodded to the other party.

Afterwards, the group of people gathered at this street corner quickly dispersed in all directions.

Governor Tetrus himself no longer had the calmness and confidence he had just now. He strode off the podium in a panic and walked towards Prince Trager's seat. He wanted to question Trager why he betrayed himself.

There were no guards in the parliament hall of the Parliament Palace, so naturally no one stopped Governor Tetrus. He came unimpeded to Prince Traeger who was wiping his sweat, grabbed his collar, and roared: "What are you doing?" What do you mean? All this is your arrangement?"

"No, it's not." Trager shook his head quickly, and said hoarsely, "This is his trick!"

"Then clarify it quickly! Clarify it to them! Those who tell you, we are allies!" Governor Tetrus said through gritted teeth, ignoring the alarm of Illyrio.

"Oh! Yes, for clarification, I can clarify directly, uh uh." The prince who was grabbed by Tetrus and stood up had just spoken halfway, and suddenly foamed at the mouth, and fell down with a purple face.

"His Royal Highness?" A congressman stood up.

"It's him! I saw it! It was Governor Tetrus who murdered His Highness the Prince!" The MPs closest to the Prince's seat began to shout.

"Murderer! Murderer!"

"He killed His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Tetrus has come to avenge his son!"

"Murder! Murder!"

"guard!"

"Come on! Take him down!" There were voices one after another in the council hall.

Governor Tetrus hugged Cui Ge who suddenly fell on him, he put his hand under his nose in doubt, after confirming that he was not breathing, he was about to defend himself loudly.

Suddenly, he saw a poisonous needle on Trager's neck.

Governor Tetrus suddenly looked up, and saw the ceremonial officer holding a long silver whip who had just stepped out—with a joking smile on his face.

He has been standing behind Prince Traeger!

In an instant, Governor Tetrus realized something, he looked back at Illyrio's position, and Illyrio nodded to himself indifferently.

It's him?

"Impossible," Governor Tetrus murmured, "Impossible, he is preemptive? This is impossible, how would he know? How would he know?"

Our plan is kept so strictly confidential, how could he know?A cry of despair broke out in the heart of Gloro Tetrus.

"Illyrio!" Governor Tetrus couldn't accept this reality, he roared, pulled the poisonous needle from Trager's neck, and rushed towards Illyrio.

It's a pity that before he acted, the councilors had already summoned the guards guarding the Parliament Palace into the hall. Governor Tetrus had just stepped down the steps of the prince's seat when he was pushed to the ground by the guards who swarmed up.

"Tie him up and we're ready for trial!" Illyrio announced loudly.

Afterwards, Illyrio couldn't help thinking of the plan that Ian proposed yesterday.

That was an idea that even he, a political veteran, couldn't help but admire—to use the rumor about 'Illyrio and Hazan's alliance' that appeared when Yada and the others played for Hazan in the tournament, to spread information in the Great Council.

Because the alliance between Hazan and the Tetrus family needs to be kept absolutely secret from Illyrio himself, it is absolutely impossible for them to tell the allies of the following small families the news.

And Governor Tetrus's reason for convening the Great Council was to "ask the prince and his son for an explanation." Therefore, in the eyes of the vast majority of members, Hazan and Illyrio were allies, while the Tetrus family was the enemy.

Taking advantage of this information gap, Illyrio and Ian discussed all night and worked out a complete plan for today.

Illyrio first let the little mice spread the news of his alliance with the prince overnight, further strengthening his 'alliance' with Hazan.

Then he contacted Prince Cuiger's ceremonial officer who had already been bribed by him, and sent him a poisonous needle.

Illyrio ordered the master of ceremonies to kill Prince Traeger at the most passionate moment of Governor Tetrus's performance, so that they could push the crime of murdering the prince to the Tetrus family, so that the unknown truth in the Great Council Brad Voss MPs vote guilty in Tetrus Governor's trial.

Afterwards, Illyrio will personally elect Hazan to be the next prince, and ask the parliament to give the prince more actual power, so as to further confirm the fact that he and Hazan are allies.

After the sons of the governor of Tetrus received the news announced by the Great Council, they must be sure that their father was betrayed by Hazan. At that time, their army and Hazan's army had already converged in the XC area , There will be a conflict between them immediately.

At the same time, in order to ensure that the Tetrus family can win the infighting.

Illyrio deployed all his troops in the XC area to those buildings along the route of Hazan's attack.

This way, while reducing Hazan's troops, it will also allow them to re-emerge to block Hazan's retreat after Hazan and the Tetrus family's army converge.

Thus giving the angry sons of Governor Tetrus a chance to kill Hazan.

After these are over, Illyrio will be able to integrate the remaining forces of the leaderless Braavosi Party, and together with the old governor of Rotarus who controls the First Banner Guard, he will be able to eradicate the remaining forces of the Tetrus family.

If the plan goes well, in the end, Illyrio will not only eliminate all his political enemies in Pentos, but also blame the Tetrus family for Hazan's death, so that the Iron Bank will not be able to hold himself accountable at least on the surface. .

The XC section has become a mess.

Shortly after Ian successfully brought the Targaryen brothers and sisters out of Illyrio's mansion, the army gathered in the north and south cities entered the west city under the leadership of Prince Hazan and the eldest son of Governor Tetrus.

Although the military forces in the XC area, including the city guards, chamber of commerce militia, and port guards, had stepped up their vigilance due to the imminent civil war, but because Illyrio also didn't want to startle the snake, he didn't inform them in advance.

So these people don't know that both sides of the civil war are actually targeting themselves
Therefore, not long after the battle broke out, Illyrio's forces lost control of the entire XC area, and they all retreated to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce and Illyrio's various mansions, and began to stand by for help.

'Black Falcon' Dorian and Bronn followed Ian's orders. After receiving the attack order from Marte Tetrus, they did not execute it. Instead, they took a detour to the vicinity of the port and occupied the After entering an inn, he waited there for Ian's next order.

"Who the hell can tell me what happened?" Bronn complained while pouring wine into his mouth, "Just this morning when I went to the Prince's Palace to participate in the competition, the Tetrus family and Hazan The princes are still enemies of life and death. Now it is very interesting, Marte Tetrus ordered us to cooperate with Prince Hazan to attack Governor Illyrio, what are they doing?"

"Be patient, my friend." 'Black Falcon' Dorian shrugged, "Why do you care so much? Sir Lucian told us to wait here, we just wait. It’s as simple as doing the work, getting the money, and enjoying life.”

"It's like this morning's match. What am I talking about? Sir Lucian asked you to fight for whichever side you just do. What's the result? Didn't Prince Hazan directly win by an overwhelming advantage? I think if you choose Su Da’s 1000 Golden Dragon, that’s not a bad thing, because then I will have to collect your commission.”

"You bastard... wait, the order is coming." Bronn wanted to curse, but when he saw the familiar falcon, he immediately patted Dorian on the shoulder.

Dorian hurried forward to remove the letter from the eagle's leg, and then watched the falcon fly up to the sky again.

"What does it say?" Bronn asked eagerly.

"Two and 10 minutes later, the news that the Governor Council of Pentos ordered the confiscation of all ships in the port was spread in all the inns near the port, and the streets near the port were set on fire"

"Will those captains and sailors believe such absurd news?" Bronn couldn't help asking.

"If it matches this war, it will."

"Okay, so what then?"

"Don't worry, there is still the second half of the letter." Dorian said as he opened the envelope.
