Chapter 528 Kraken in the Lion's Mouth (Part 2)
Looking at Yara Grejoy, who was crying silently like a nervous breakdown , a sense of disobedience struck Tyrion's heart, he resisted the urge to scratch his itchy scalp, and shrugged apologetically: "Looks like I asked a stupid question, although I'm suspected of being hypocritical, but I still have to say -Gods let these people die to save you for no reason, cheer up so they don't die in vain."

Asha needs no consolation. After all, she is not an ordinary weak woman. After a few minutes of tears to empty out the guilt of killing relatives and friends, the depression of being a prisoner wherever she goes, and a series of negative emotions, a flame of anger replaced it, which ignited in her heart. .

Vengeance is the purest motive in the world.

Unable to reach out to wipe away the tears, she just sat up straight with tears in her teeth, and stared at Tyrion with her suddenly bright eyes: "You asked someone to bring me, not only To get rid of my enemy."

"It's not really." Well, this is like Yara Grejoy that oneself has heard of - throwing away distractions, Tyrion put down his glass and said seriously: "I'm looking for You are here because I have a few things to ask you. Although House Lannister has eyes and ears in North and Wall, all information is a little unreliable across thousands of miles. I need you, a witness who has been in Queenscrown, to help I confirm some guesses."

"Then you're asking the right person." Thanks to the black clothed Theon, Asha, the family member of a Night's Watch officer, is nominally a prisoner, but actually has a certain amount in Queenscrown. With a degree of freedom, she is not a prisoner in peace, but is always making friends with guards and servants everywhere to obtain all possible useful information. Without work to distract her attention and enough time to observe and analyze, her understanding of the land grant situation may be higher than that of some Night's Watch insiders: "But if I help you, what can you give me?"

"I have given you adequate treatment as a prisoner."

"I have paid for the truthful answer just now, if you wish to ask further questions Also getting detailed and truthful information, that's not enough."

If Duke Tywin was sitting at the table, he would have told Asha in a serious tone with a grim expression that she had no bargaining power, but Tyrion is not his father after all, and dwarf has always believed that people will not suffer if they are psychologically satisfied and willing to cooperate.

"I can promise you freedom, if that's what you want." The woman in front of her was the Princess of the Iron Islands, and it seemed unbelievable to let such a prisoner go when the two sides were at war... ...but in the case of her Uncle usurping the throne and defeating her in succession, as a woman, whether as a hostage or investment object, whether in terms of politics or economics, she is not of great value, and this is also The reason Tywin didn't take her seriously.

"Ask." It's true that Asha hates Lannister, but it's not so prejudicial that he thinks they'll lie shameless. After taking a breath, nodded, it's a recognition of the other party's condition.

"Others besieged Queenscrown with 100,000 dead army breakthrough Wall, and was finally annihilated by Night's Watch at Long Lake - is this fact or public opinion, is it exaggerated?"

"I was at the scene, no exaggeration. The attack of the dead once broke through the outer city wall, and even I, a prisoner of war, took up arms and participated in the battle. If Igor shot the Night King at the critical moment, North would have long since shot dead. Occupied, even your lord, I'm afraid you will have to start wearing armor and prepare to fight for survival..."

"Is it really Igor who shot the Others King? Isn't this some kind of propaganda and A means of building momentum?" Tyrion asked curiously when he got an unexpected answer. According to his understanding of oneself friends, Igor is not a diving archer, let alone a character who will fight on the front line in person.

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but with hundreds of witnesses and everyone in Queenscrown telling the story, it's hard to doubt it. You should understand -- something like this This kind of thing, if it is fake, even if the external caliber can be unified, there will always be people who know the truth internally who will leak it, and I have not even heard half of such remarks."

Tyrion twitched his lips, still don't believe it sounds like a story made up, but there is no strong argument to refute... Of course, questioning the heroic deeds of oneself's friends is not what he intends to do. On the contrary, he is obviously in the There is a strong atmosphere of ambition and political intention in the legend of "Creating a God", and these things that are likely to be related to oneself are what he cares most about.

Time to get to the point.

"Night's Watch got help from Daenerys Targaryen in this battle. Is it true that Igor swore allegiance to the little Queen and decided to fight for her?"

"Night's Watch sent Raven to the whole world, the Westerlands should have received it, why ask?"

"Castile Rock did get the news, but I want to ask Greyjoy What are you doing, Miss - based on what you have seen and heard in Queenscrown: Does Igor really intend to conquer the Seven Kingdoms for Queen, or is he bowed down by circumstances?”

“en ?"

Asha paused, not just a Warrior and Captain, but Balon's designated heir and a former Iron Islands Reserve Duchess, not a politically insensitive idiot. Although Tyrion hid what she wanted to ask in a bunch of words, she could still hear it: this dwarf was curious that the story of Night's Watch and Others was false, and was keenly aware that the Seven Kingdoms situation was about to be violently affected and stirred - from The black clothed Legion in the north, it is true that you want to know more about this power through oneself!

 …

"It's easy to answer 'yes' or 'no', but you have to use your brain to make judgments-" Asha realized that oneself had bargaining chips: "I do Some news and ideas, but that's not part of the trade you can get for your 'freedom' that should belong to me."

"Hey, maybe I should remind you that I can With torture?" Tyrion realized that oneself's intentions had been discovered, and he was a little dissatisfied with the floor, but it only made him look more funny rather than fierce, "Forget it, what are the conditions, you can say."

"Vengeance, help me kill Crow's Eye." The tears had dried and Asha suppressed the monstrous hatred: "The people of the Westerlands must want to do this too, it's not really helping me, I'm just asking House Lannister Invest some more resources at this point and really treat it like a goal."

"Negotiable, but I heard that your younger brother died fighting the Others at Night's Watch, is that true? ?"

Asha's face twitched slightly after being poked, and finally nodded: "It's true."

"Then kill Crow's Eye, you are the last Greyjoy in the world...I Helping you deal with your Uncle, isn't it the same as taking the Iron Islands for you? Good calculus, this can be-" Tyrion crossed his arms and folded his legs back, and used the girl's previous bid to heal him: "—not in the trade you can get with some news."

"After ancient traditions like Kingsmoot have been reinstated, the last name of trifling Greyjoy has decided nothing, even if Crow's Eye is dead, and I'll have to work harder to get back my dominion." Asha said without hesitation, "but I have to admit that answering a few questions really doesn't match my conditions, as compensation... Your lord, you're still single. State, no spouse yet? An opportunity to unite the Westerlands and the Iron Islands, free from hatred and hostility for a long time, and towards mutual prosperity lies before you and me.”

Asha once I also wanted to use oneself as a bargaining chip to win over Igor, but since a certain Night's Watch refused, then she would use it to sell it to other people, naturally it would not be considered a two-for-one sale, and there was no need to bear any moral pressure.

"oh?" Tyrion put on the eyes of admiring the opposite sex and observed Asha again - the Princess Iron Islands in front of him looked a little embarrassed and haggard, but he could see that, as long as he dressed up a little, This is definitely a woman who oneself would pay a lot of money for in a brothel. And to marry the only daughter of such a big lord, for him, a son who is not liked by his father and has fought his life to win a place in the family by his ability... So far, the status of the heir of Casterly Rock City has not yet been stabilized. A unique allure.

Retracting his gaze, Tyrion pondered for a moment and then slowly nodded: "I will consider this proposal, but I will first look at the information you provide me - the value."

Asha Of course She was not satisfied with this answer, but she also knew that oneself did not have the power to urge or force the other party to express their position immediately... Even to a certain extent, if the other party agreed, she would not believe it was true.

"Igor really intends to conquer the Seven Kingdoms for the Queen, this is my answer." She decided to show oneself's sincerity first, "You are far beyond a thousand li from the land grant, so everything in the north is Your eyes are blurry, you can only know what he wants you to know, but you can't see how Igor is chatting and laughing when he leads the Queen to Queenscrown; Watch, in the past two years, what kind of prosperity has the land-grant construction turned into; let alone how much military and technical preparations he has made to fight the dead, how an elite army he has trained, and What terrifying new weapons - and these things can be used against the dead as well as the living - with an even more overwhelming advantage over the latter."

"So..."

p>

"He didn't intend to conquer the Seven Kingdoms for the Queen, but the Queen gave him reasons and excuses to conquer the Seven Kingdoms." Asha didn't give Tyrion time to think about it, and continued to speak, "I can tell with confidence. Your lord: He not only has plans, but also plans and abilities. He thinks oneself is very smart - and he is, but if he is willing to pay attention, I can still see it: the so-called beyond the wall expedition is simply a pretense. In about a month or two , the Westeros will probably see him cross The Neck into the South, take his black clothed army that defeated the Others, and the Queen's Unsullied, and start sweeping the Seven Kingdoms. And by then, he will surely Asking the Westerlands to take a stand, I assure you, you don't want to be his enemy."

...

"I just want you to answer the question, why are you Is he a lobbyist?" After digesting the information for a moment, Tyrion stared at Asha with a playful smile, "I'm starting to doubt your at first claim, forgive me if I'm wrong: you didn't escape from the Wall. , but he sent you back to the Iron Islands to assassinate Euron. If that's the case, then you'd have said that, since you're my friend, I wouldn't put you in a dungeon at all."

"I'm just 'judging by what oneself sees' as you wish, it's your freedom as to what the lord thinks." Asha wasn't fooled at all. It's one thing to tell the truth about what oneself has seen and heard in Queenscrown and her personal judgment, but admitting that Igor directed or acquiesced in her to assassinate oneself's pro Uncle is a serious and egregious charge, she knows Tyrion and Igor They are friends, but I don't know how strong the friendship between them is. Of course, they won't just give the handle of the backer behind oneself.

"That's true." Tyrion obviously didn't expect Asha to respond to oneself's guesses, so he pondered for a moment, and called out to the jailer outside the door: "Take Miss Greyjoy back to the dungeon, this time. Change to a better one, and take care of the food and lodging as much as possible, and I will count it later."

Asha watched as two soldiers approached oneself and untied oneself from the shackles on the chair. Before being taken away, he did not forget to ask: "When will you deliver the freedom you promised me earlier?" Can I see Igor heading south across The Neck, and if that's true, maybe returning you to him in person when the time comes is the best option."

"What?" Asha A scowl quickly appeared on his face: "I thought Lannister wouldn't be so shameless!"

"shameless? I want to save you! You Uncle robbed the entire Seven Kingdoms, you think I'll do it even now Released you, an Ironmen woman, safe and alone to cross the Westerlands, Riverlands and Moat Cailin, and return to your ally to the north safe and sound?" Tyrion rolled her eyes at her and waved: "Take her Take along to withdraw."

The enraged Princess of the Iron Islands is taken down by the soldiers, while the dwarf, who remains in the room, is lost in thought.

He believed in the truth of what Asha had just said, but didn't know whether it was good news or bad news.

Igor is not satisfied with the status quo and is willing to bring the land-giving power to the stage of Seven Kingdoms power, which is naturally good news - with his intelligence and rich experience from "China", there is another army. In hand...what oneself can say will convince old man Tywin, a stud to team up with this guy to put the fortunes of the Westerlands on this amazing alien. The addition of two new forces with basically complete strength to the battlefield will definitely bring considerable influence and positive changes to the situation in the Seven Kingdoms that has been stalemate for a long time.

Unfortunately, it's a pity that this guy chooses Daenerys · Targaryen, a monarch who can coexist peacefully with House Lannister absolutely impossible to be loyal to!
Could it be that Gods' curse and ridicule to oneself is not over yet. He and the most trusted and cherished close friend in the world will be the enemy when they meet next time?
