Chapter 648 either the fish dies or the net splits (middle)

People sit at home, disaster from heaven.

Just when Igor was hiding in the shadows and quietly weaving a big net, enjoying the joy of playing with his opponents higher than oneself by relying on the advantages of time and place, the plan suddenly came to an end. Derailed and overturned.

It's a big deal. To sum it up, the opponent who has been abused will throw the controller and smash the machine, and stop playing Game of Thrones with him.

The fishing-style raping inside the Industrial Research Institute has been carried out step by step. According to the original plan, Igor will meet Queen "urgently" after noon to report to her the progress of the investigation, telling her that the wealthy businessman Magister Illyrio has instructed, Suspected of being involved in stealing gunpowder and artillery secrets. After greeting and obtaining permission, a joint investigation team was sent to form a joint investigation team with Unsullied to search the Pentos mission station in the evening - when the time comes, take advantage of the chaos to plug a blueprint in, and everyone will get a complete chain of evidence. , not shit or shit, enough for Illyrio to jump into Blackwater Rush and wash it out.

However, the hastily made plans could not be fully covered. Harvey, who was assigned to monitor Illyrio, suddenly found that the target left the hotel without any warning. , it seems to be running away!
He didn't dare to make his own decisions, while sending someone back to report to Igor, he personally led the team to stick to the other side and follow the other party... Igor's instructions have not yet arrived, but the target is about to go through the door and leave King's Landing. In an emergency, he rushed up to find the Captain of the Linhe Gate guard, holding the token that Igor had given him in advance, and sent him a false military order. In the name of Hand of the Queen, he asked the guard soldiers to intercept the Pentos mission personnel and conduct a search.

The guard at Linhemen is of course Queen rather than Igor's cronies. It is impossible to help him to frame a foreign messenger. Harvey can't force his way to Illyrio's carriage with thousands of eyes watching in public. Rise blueprint... It can be said that this improvised chase and interception will most likely end in beating the grass to scare the snake, and the biggest reward is just a fierce beating to Illyrio, making his exit covered by done in the dirt way.

Igor didn't prevent Illyrio from escaping—aside from a small miscalculation caused by the hasty planning, but also because: the planting plan was a conspiracy, but it didn't target Illyrio's life. On the contrary: he suddenly left without saying goodbye at this coincidental time point, and the gunpowder formula was suddenly leaked to everyone, but it was only confirmed that he was the culprit, making the Queen even more impossible to have half a cent of trust and goodwill towards him. , at this point, even if Illyrio is not dead, there is no way to cause threatening interference with Igor's plans for the Greater Crownlands in the short term.

Illyrio running or not running has little effect on the plan, which is why Igor neglected, who could have guessed that striking the mountain to shake a tiger would end up running out of the mountain and knocking the mountain man Desperately? This cunning fatty finds the cracks in the impossible places, and digs them out to form either the fish dies or the net splits!
......

When Igor rushed to the Queen's temporary residence in a cold sweat, the Unsullied Commander Grey Worm, the newly appointed Master of Coin Tyrion Lannister and other important officials had already arrived ahead of time because of the advantage of the distance. Several parties were being personally questioned by Daenerys. In the not-so-wide hall, everyone was listening carefully to the most intuitive first-person narrative, and no one even cared that he, the most powerful man in the Seven Kingdoms, had entered.

"...At that time, the herald of the Prime Minister rushed in front of me with a token and ordered me to close the city gate and stop Pentos Magister and his party from leaving. After the identity and token were verified, he ordered the guards to evacuate the residents passing through the door, and led people to surround the carriage of Lord Illyrio." Apart from the Queen, the speaker was the only one in the room who had a seat. Not because of his special status or high status, but because the gauze on his shoulders is still bleeding. "The car is very luxuriously decorated and highly recognizable, will know when you see it is used by the powerful. I shout out I ordered the convoy, accompanying servants, and escorts to stop moving and put down all items in their hands, and the insiders of the carriage also left the carriage and came out for investigation--"

It may be the cause of excessive blood loss, he took a long breath, Just continue to tell.

"The driver and the bodyguards obeyed the order very obediently, only the people in the carriage refused to show their faces, I shouted and said again, until the third time that the other party didn't come out, they would send someone to force entry. , the door of the carriage was opened, and Illyrio appeared with a very beautiful and delicate short bow. The bow was peculiar in shape and reflected a dazzling golden light, and I was still guessing in my mind whether it was gold-plated or forged in pure gold. He...he raised his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at me."

The expression of the guard Captain at Linhemen was still a little dazed, he was really a little dazed at the incident...and dazed— Diplomats like Pentos Magister would choose to take the initiative to attack without risking their lives; also ignorant - Big Fatty as fat and bloated as Illyrio, with weapons so skilled and fierce, released in a flash Yijian has also achieved momentum is big, power is deep and extremely accurate.

If I hadn't experienced the half step sideways in an instant under muscle memory, the shot would definitely have been nailed in the middle between oneself's chest and neck, hitting the weak point of the armor and piercing the trachea and esophagus.

If that was the case, he wouldn't be able to sit here and present the situation to the Queen at the moment.

"Are you sure you just surrounded him and ordered him to carry the carriage for investigation, without doing anything threatening or offensive?"

Daenerys glances Staring at the wounded garrison Captain - not that she didn't trust the cronies who followed oneself all the way from Astapor back to Westeros, but the story he told was too bizarre: the war is not over, King's Landing is actually still on high alert, Each city gate is equipped with at least hundreds of gatekeepers on duty, and an equal number of Unsullied stand by, not to mention the port guards and the fleet that has mastered the sea outside the river gate.

With the scale and martial power of the Illyrio mission, it would have been impossible to forcibly leave King's Landing anyway... If it wasn't for the persecution or threat of some external factors, the shrewd wealthy businessman Magister, how could he take such a self-defeating behavior?

This is not reasonable!

It's not that he suspects followers of betrayal, but Daenerys has learned from his years of leadership and rule that loyal people can be bad. It is theoretically possible for a heroic class like the officers of the Liberty Militia to cause some calamity due to their arrogance and arrogance, and then put the blame on the dead to get rid of themselves. In theory, she has to guard against it.

"Everything my subordinate said is true, and there was no verbal or physical conflict between the two sides before the incident. This point - the soldiers present, the Night's Watch brother, even passers-by and the survivors of the Pentos mission are all It can be proved, please be careful with the Queen!"

Although the voice is weak, the tone is firm and sure... No matter what, at least the second half of the sentence is true. Staring into the speaker's eyes, I didn't see a guilty expression. I decided in my stomach that I would send a reliable person to investigate, but Daenerys on the surface couldn't continue to question it. I could only believe and end the topic for the time being. Igor, who stood beside Tyrion, turned the question to another group of clients: "I don't know your name, tell me what's going on?"

"Back to Queen Your Majesty, in Harvey, Former Officer of the Night's Watch Industry Security Team, now Lord Commander of the Night's Watch Guard Captain." Harvey bowed, introduced himself and answered questions, "I was ordered by the Prime Minister to participate in the investigation of the theft of the secret blueprint of the Night's Watch Industry Research Institute. , the clue points to Magister, a wealthy businessman from Pentos. Today, I was closely monitoring and observing, but found that Illyrio and his party suddenly set off to leave. After reporting to Lord Igor urgently, they were ordered to prevent the suspect gang from escaping. ."

He was still terrified and apprehensive, but with the presence of the backbone, he suddenly became more confident: "The Captain's narrative is roughly what happened, and there is nothing to add below. Our original plan I just want to stop Magister Illyrio and his party. If they don't find it after searching, they will naturally report the situation to Your Majesty and the Prime Minister. It's up to you and the two of you to decide. Who would have thought... A search that could have been resolved peacefully turned into bloodshed."

Wow, this pushed thoroughly, Daenerys frowned and asked sharply, "Pentos Magister is from across the narrow sea. The messenger who comes, even if there are mistakes in his words and deeds, it is up to me to decide how to deal with it, why not report first, but do it directly?"

On the way in a hurry, Igor had already learned from the informant. The end of the matter: Illyrio wanted to forcibly enter the door in the face of interception, and fought in public with the guards at Linhe Gate, and was killed on the spot. This will stand and listen to the brief description of the process by the chief guard, piece together the front and back, and the truth of the matter immediately understands clearly in the mind.

As the "beneficiary" of the wealthy Pentos businessmen Magister and Queen, even if Illyrio is convicted of stealing gunpowder secrets, there is a certain probability that he will be able to return home alive after an indeterminate captivity - it all depends on Daenerys' mood and mood. The international situation will change in the future; even if he decides to commit suicide, there will definitely be less painful and faster ways to achieve his goal, such as taking poison and hanging himself, but he finally made an unreasonable death-seeking act of blatant resistance... Why?
Because of this hidden boss in the timeline of Ice and Fire, facing the interference of outsiders who should not exist like transmigrator, he tried his best cards and means to bring back the decline, and he was helpless under flustered and exasperated. Heartless, he helped little Aegon one last big favor at the cost of his own life.

Because of this, the Queen's regime attacked a country's diplomatic ambassador with martial power in public, creating a shocking and appalling diplomatic incident. This incident will soon spread to all corners of the world and even the whole world through the mouths of countless attackers who enter and exit King's Landing, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms and the entire world through the Linhe Gate. The hostile slave-masters will not pay attention. The details of "Which party does it first?", they will only add fuel to the fire, and the more sensational the news, the better. With the advantage of stronger strength control of public opinion, the new Targaryen Dynasty has fallen into such a bad language in an indescribably bad diplomatic environment.

From the personal point of view of the real culprit of the "Winterfell poisoning case", Illyrio's death is undoubtedly a major victory - Igor successfully used the armed hands of Queen oneself to eliminate a major threat and a predetermined Not only is there no suspicion of involvement and inducement (there is really no), but from now on, you can safely frame this person without worrying about his own innocence, and no longer have to worry about a seasoned and shrewd conspirator hiding in the corner. Rubbing the floor thinking about tripping him.

It's as cheap as Varys' lieutenant committing suicide in the Winterfell dungeon, taking the poisoner's back.

But he wasn't just a murderer after all.

From the point of view of the "Hand of the Queen" public office, that death faty is at the cost of life, interrupting what Daenerys and oneself have planned and even halfway through... It is about to be successfully disintegrated The many diplomatic efforts of the city-state union. With a tragic burn both jade and stone, not only fiercely hit Queen's face, but also left him a lot of problems!

If it turns out that the anti-Mother of Dragons alliance of "City Union" can only exist in the mind and letters, then after this bloody diplomatic accident, it is really possible The nervous and nervous rulers of the city-states picked them up from the rubbish heap and pushed hard, and finally successfully formed it!

The situation is so complicated that Igor doesn't know whether oneself should be happy or flustered for a while...

But at least one thing he can be sure of: in the absence of a ventilator, Harvey will never be able to answer the Queen's stern question perfectly without making any mistakes... Even if he is suspected of being disrespectful and impudent, he will have to answer oneself uninvited and spread his wings to resist this shit.

He frowned, coughed and stepped out of the crowd.
