Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 174 Pentos Rhapsody ([-])

"Where is this?" Viserys got off the carriage and lifted his red hood. The rays of the setting sun were a bit dazzling. He put his hand in front of his forehead and complained to Ian, "You said you would help me?" Get rid of Illyrio and find a place. But you took me to the street! And surrounded by Illyrio's Unsullied, what the hell are you doing?"

Seeing that Viserys was about to get angry, Ian was expressionless and ignored him.

"Ian? Are you listening to me?" Viserys couldn't help but feel offended by Ian's indifference.

"Oh, yes, Your Majesty, we are still being watched by a group of Unsullied, but soon, you will soon get rid of them." Ian said with narrowed eyes.

"Really? What are you going to do?"

"Do you know why I brought you here?" Ian whispered in Viserys' ear.

"Why?" Viserys was a little dissatisfied with Ian's tone, but he still endured the thought of possessing his sister later.

"Because I used a falcon to do a very detailed reconnaissance of the vicinity before I set off, and found that Hazan and the others had deployed four sentry posts outside Illyrio's mansion, and this one is located near the port and the temple on the top of the mountain. The crossroads. As long as I kill them, Hazan will lose my movement in a short time."

"What are you talking about?" Viserys looked confused.

"Look up, Your Majesty, look up, in front of you on the left, there is a small building there, do you see what is on the roof of that small building?" Ian continued to whisper in Viserys' ear, and from his leave in front of him.

Viserys was still confused, but he still raised his head and looked in the direction Ian said, and then he showed a shocked expression.

Because at the place Ian said, he saw a crossbowman aiming at him, and the distance from the opponent was no more than 10 yards, which is a distance that children will not miss.And Viserys knew the man with the crossbow. Denzel the Dornish, that was Ian's squire.

"Goodbye Your Majesty, you are free." Viserys heard Ian's whisper behind him, and a crossbow bolt struck him in the chest.

The blood soaked Viserys' red robes, and before he could even ask why, he fell on his back.

"There's an assassin!" Ian yelled immediately, and he threw himself in front of Viserys, as if he wanted to use his body to block any subsequent arrows for him.

"Dovaogys!" the leader of the Unsullied with two spikes on his head immediately shouted at the soldiers around him in Valyrian, and urged, "Aderi!"

Soon, 50 Unsullied were divided into two groups, and quickly formed a shield wall beside Ian and the carriage.

"What happened?" Dany heard the movement outside the carriage, and raised the curtain of the car in doubt, but unexpectedly saw her brother lying on the ground covered in blood, and Ian was guarding him.

Immediately, there was a scream in the carriage.

"Be careful! Your Royal Highness." Celia, who was also in the carriage, quickly reached out and lowered the curtain, "The usurper's assassins are nearby, and you are also one of those guys' targets."

"Assassin of the usurper? How come?" Daenerys was obviously frightened, and tears rolled down uncontrollably, "Viserys, how is Viserys?" She asked eagerly.

"Your Majesty..." Celia wanted to say something to comfort Daenerys, but she couldn't speak.

Ian didn't tell himself this part of his plan in advance, so Celia herself was taken aback the moment Viserys was attacked, but she soon realized that all of this was Ian's arrangement. Daenerys is the only one Eun intends to take, the moody beggar king who has no value to him.

So was there any hope of Viserys surviving?

There was no hope, so Celia suddenly didn't want to say the kind of words that gave Daenerys hope, which would only add to the sadness.

"No." Daenerys seemed to realize something from Celia's expression, and in an instant, an extremely complicated emotion came to her heart.

Is it sad?Still scared?Perhaps with a little mirth and relief?

Even she herself didn't know, it was more confusion, the confusion of losing her goal, the confusion of being alone.

Celia didn't speak again, and decided to give the girl some time to grieve alone. She looked out the window again, and found that Ian had come to the carriage with Viserys' body in his arms, and stuffed his body into the carriage.

"The Unsullied obey orders!" After Ian finished this, he turned and pointed to the building adjacent to the assassin's location - the stronghold of Hazan's mercenaries, "Sweep that small building! Go and give the assassin to him." I will kill them all! Avenge His Majesty!"

Immediately after receiving Ian's order, the Unsullied were divided into two groups. One group was still guarding Ian and the others, while the other group rushed to Hazan's guard post without hesitation.

"We have to go," Ian explained to Daenerys in the carriage, then lowered the curtains and got on the horse.

"Go to the port." He didn't wait for those Unsullied who left, and directly ordered the rest.

Marte Tetrus, the eldest son of Governor Tetrus, took the lead with his family's elite cavalry, quickly broke through the unorganized resistance of the chamber of commerce militia, and arrived outside the largest mansion in Illyrio .

According to the plan, he and Hazan will meet here, and then command the army together to divide and wipe out Illyrio's forces.

However, what surprised him was that he had been waiting here for a long time, and had even commanded thousands of people to surround Illyrio's mansion, but he hadn't seen Hazan's army for a long time.

To make matters worse, he also got bad news.

The spies who came back from the Parliament Palace said that the Parliament Palace has been closed. This puzzled him, because the closure of the Parliament Palace is a sign that the Great Council is in the process of trial. The guards of the Parliament Palace will take such actions only after the information is passed on.

But according to the plan his father had told him in the morning, their actions today did not include initiating a trial in the Parliament Palace. After all, it was impossible for them to judge Illyrio by voting, and initiating a trial would be a waste of time.

Therefore, this variable made Marthe Tetrus very impetuous and vaguely uneasy.

Especially the widely circulated statement in Pentos today about 'the prince has formed an alliance with Illyrio' made him even more uneasy.

Fortunately, Hazan didn't make him lose his patience. About 10 minutes later, Hazan and his cavalry arrived outside the gate of Illyrio's mansion.

"Why didn't you attack immediately?" Hazan's first words after arriving were to question.

"Attack immediately?" Marte Tetrus chuckled, "Who doesn't know that Illyrio's mansion has his most elite Unsullied deployed? If you don't come, how can I attack alone?"

"I was delayed on the road for a while, and my attack direction encountered a lot of resistance. Illyrio's chamber of commerce militia, with the cooperation of the Unsullied, built a barricade to stop us," Hazan was a little displeased, but still patient Explained, "Many of my men have yet to break through their lines."

"Really? Then why didn't I encounter any resistance in the direction of my attack?" Marte didn't quite believe Hazan's words, but the soldiers around Hazan were indeed covered with blood, so he didn't question any more, and turned to And asked, "By the way, the Palace of Parliament is closed. This is a signal that a trial is going on in the Great Council. Can you explain what's going on?"

"Judgment? The House of Parliament is closed?" Hazan frowned and shook his head, "I didn't get such news. Ever since we entered the XC area, we got into a mess with the militia from the Illyrio Chamber of Commerce. I haven't had any new news since then."

"In other words, that wasn't your arrangement?" Marthe asked immediately.

Afterwards, both Marthe and Hazan's complexions became unsightly.

Clearly, things have developed beyond their control.
