The king on the Great Wall

Coincidentally, I have another schedule about "secret" tonight.In a flash of inspiration, Iger suddenly had a new idea.

……

A while later, another pair of subordinates who had already made an appointment but were delayed by unexpected accidents were called into the room.

Warner Bookwell, an officer of the garrison who was forced to wear black because he supported Renly's betrayal of Stannis, although he was unlucky in standing in the team, his skills were unquestionable. Iger often appointed him to handle some difficult tasks Do a good job.After realizing that his land-grant forces had great shortcomings in the intelligence and political fields, Iger appointed him and his personal bodyguard Harvey to jointly prepare for the establishment of an intelligence department. The two of them have two more arduous and challenging tasks: to investigate the identity of the "real murderer" of the poisoning case, and to monitor the activities of the governor of Pentos, Illyrio, and his followers.

Tonight is exactly the time for them to conduct a new round of progress reports.

-

Chapter 645

The two officials from the intelligence department came hand in hand. They hesitated when they saw that the Neil and Nina brothers and sisters were also present. They looked at Iger and saw that he had no intention of rushing them, so they ignored the bystanders and began to report.

"There has been a lot of progress in the investigation of Mizidan, but unfortunately most of it is information that has nothing to do with the poisoning, and no accomplices have been identified." Harvey, as a close confidant of the commander-in-chief, first submitted the investigation report, "But we have managed to find witnesses who can prove that this person came to Westeros by ship from Pentos."

Not great news, but at least it met minimum expectations.

The queen wanted him to thoroughly investigate the poisoning case. No matter what, Iger had to make some noise to deal with the errand. Few knew that he was the real murderer. The middle and lower levels who received the task would definitely lose half of the cooking class in Winterfell Work hard... In the awe of Murphy's Law, you must consider the possibility of extreme situations at this time: In case there is really some detective in the intelligence department that you didn't find out, and then the task is assigned casually, but this One or these talented detectives finally found out their immediate boss and the Queen's Hand through investigation. Wouldn't this oolong become a source of inspiration for detective works in the world of ice and fire in the future?

And to avoid this kind of reversal drama, the best way is to use the convenience of power to shift the target: Iger directly made the decision, ruled out other possibilities, and decided that the unlucky scapegoat Mizidan was the poisoner, and all the investigation resources. It is inclined to find out the person's identity, origin and interpersonal relationship online-when the investigation seems to be aimed at the poisoning case, but it is biased towards an irrelevant person who can no longer prove his innocence, naturally, no matter how much dirty water is tossed I can't splash myself.

The most wonderful thing is that after setting the important tone of "thoroughly investigating the poisoning case is to find out Mizidan", Iger hid in the safest shadow under the lamp-not only did he not need to hide any more during the investigation process. Tucked in, even when reporting the results, there is no need to avoid their own people such as Nina, Neil and Warner who are in the room at the moment.

"Hmm." Iger groaned, took the report, opened it and read it.

The report contains various trajectories of Mizidan in King's Landing when he was still serving Varys, including drinking, eating, living and other aspects-such as the general route to and from the Red Fort and his residence, the taverns and restaurants he likes to come in and out, and the rented accommodation. The location of the house, the knowledge and impressions of the landlord and neighbors, etc.

If this is a hunt for a fugitive, then the information is really quite detailed, but when the target is a dead person...

It has to be said that Varys is really a terrible opponent. His meticulous arrangements and cunning and experienced backhand make him a difficult enemy even after death. Iger originally wanted to open a gap in the scapegoat's interpersonal relationship and find out The connection between Mizedan and Illyrio has been planted, who wants to get nothing.Then we have to settle for the next best thing and seek other results to compensate for the cost of the initial investment.

The murderer of the poisoning case came from Pentos! Of course, don’t try to prove anything with just this random piece of news—provide the queen with some seemingly fragmented but sinister information, and add fuel to her suspicion, that’s Iger A security mission to the poisoning task force.

It is easy to lie and it is difficult to make a lie. In order not to fall into the predicament of forcibly planting and leaving more and more lies and pigtails to be caught, Iger instructed to "not fake" in this investigation.But not falsification does not mean that we only need the facts - if you just use a name or a portrait to investigate and identify without thinking, of course you don't want to make much progress; but if you ask inductively ——"Did this person come from across the Narrow Sea", "Did he come from Pentos", coupled with a little reward and incentive, then... the testimony of witnesses will almost certainly "appear".

The testimony of these witnesses was not obtained by falsehood, but whether it is true or not, only they themselves know.

Iger didn't ask Harvey whether the witnesses he found were obtained through this method, and he didn't want to know.It is obviously whimsical to want to knock down Illyrio through this move. What he has to do now is to continuously tighten the rope in all directions and three-dimensionally, and take advantage of the advantage of the home court and the convenience of being close to the water to strangle the enemy bit by bit.

After briefly looking at the investigation summary submitted by Harvey, especially the testimony of the witnesses, and confirming that there were no obvious mistakes, Iger nodded: "It's okay, the investigation will continue to be carried out at the highest intensity, and even if nothing can be found, we should hide it in fear." The enemy is bringing pressure! Warner, where are you?"

Bookwell, who never disappoints, finally brought good news.

"Governor Pantos has almost no useless people under his command. Even though the grooms and sedan chair slaves are experienced and vigilant, their sensitivity and anti-detection quality are far superior to ours, we have nothing to gain in the first few days. But according to your lord After the instructions released the news that the "Western Expedition to the River Bend is about to start", they finally couldn't hold back, and the frequency and regularity of their actions increased significantly, which finally gave us an opportunity to take advantage of." Warner also presented a stack of schematic diagrams and lists "They do not conduct espionage activities directly, but use daily activities such as procurement, visits, and business dealings as a cover to go to markets or residential areas dominated by flea nests, and contact informants who are lurking or living in King's Landing, After one chain after another and even another chain, finally the local people who are not easy to arouse suspicion will be put into the front line work."

Iger picked up the information that Warner handed over and flipped through a few pages. It was full of intricate mind maps and character information—although he didn’t know any of them, he understood: This is the two people of Varys and Illyrio. The intelligence network that has been planted in Westeros for many years.Of course, not everyone among them is a professional spy or spy, most of them are just "honest" residents who occasionally "do a part-time job" or "do a few favors to friends for a fee" in their spare time... It is shocking that this network still retains such a huge scale even though it has already promulgated policies to strictly control orphans and homeless people in the city.

"Due to the lack of manpower and relatively lack of training and intelligence work experience, we can only track down a small part of the other party's overall activities for the time being, but all of these activities eventually point to the Night Watchman Industrial Park—the nearest trading market in King's Landing to King's Gate. Employees, people living around the martial arts field in the north of the industrial park, suppliers who supply melons, fruits, vegetables and food for Fort Black Wall, and even some merchants around the compound where you are temporarily living. At this moment, the industrial park has been shut down Countless pairs of eyes and ears are facing each other... We have even found signs that several peripheral employees who can enter and leave the industrial park were contacted by suspicious personnel, and their names are marked in red on the last page."

For the time being, only a small part can be traced, and there is already such a thick pile of reports?Although psychologically prepared, Iger still felt a little horrified when faced with the result—he would never ignore the fact that if he hadn't taken the initiative to take advantage of the enemy's openness, and possessed the plug-in of hot weapons, Using the imminent threat of war to force opponents to make mistakes in chaos, with the ability and level of the initial establishment of the intelligence department, I am afraid that I will not be able to dig out even the tip of the iceberg.

The typical feudal society of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, facing the combination of highly organized conspirators + insiders, really has no resistance at all and is penetrated like a sieve. The push strategy minimizes the room for soft power such as "intelligence" or "culture", and who will have the last laugh... It is really unknown!

"Although there is a lot of information collected temporarily, we can only know what we know. In fact, with these clues alone, we can't even arrest any of them with reason." After Warner took a deep breath, Solemnly persuaded: "I don't recommend adults to compete and confront in areas where the opponent is better at. We should give full play to our advantages, use hard power to intervene as soon as possible, and take vigorous measures to contain the development of the situation. We would rather kill by mistake than let it go. The enemy's Instigating rebellion and bribery has only penetrated to the periphery for the time being, but this kind of penetration is as contagious as the plague, if left unchecked, maybe one day, we will want to take action but will not be able to organize any effective actions.”

Warner is right, it's just: Iger didn't want this result.

Even if he can prove to Daenerys that "Illyrio is conducting infiltration and intelligence work in King's Landing" and arrest him, he cannot be brought down directly, for no other reason-Pentos, as a city-state, has My own intelligence system is really normal, but it is unlikely to be targeted at anyone; and the role of the rich merchant governor, as one of the important people in power in the city-state, assuming this position can only be said to be unexpected and reasonable, and it does not explain anything ;Since Daenerys has just taken King's Landing, she still owes him a favor of asylum; Westeros and Pentos are not in a state of hostility or war... Even if she is angry, she will at best ask for a bunch of names , Arrest some insignificant middle-level, offline, and finally punish and warn them and expel them.

After doing this, in addition to praising himself for his intentions, it is even more strange: Why did he attack the "neutral forces" first at this juncture, regardless of the severity.

What I want is to make Daenerys realize: Illyrio is actually her enemy!

"Good job." Iger nodded in agreement, glanced at Neil who stood aside and didn't know why he was still allowed to stay in the house, showing a confident expression, "How to deal with it is exactly what we are going to discuss next. I have always thought that the idea of ​​"the enemy makes a move and we take it" is always the worst strategy, and the best strategy is to capture the thief and capture the king and directly destroy the enemy's core. I specially summoned Nina and Neil tonight for information The Ministry of Industry and the Industrial Research Institute jointly carried out an operation to lure snakes out of their holes through a 'leakage', and to uproot the intelligence systems of both the trading city-state and the Iron Island of the River Bend in King's Landing in one fell swoop, while ensuring that the rear was safe. , and then complete the final battle to unify the Seven Kingdoms with peace of mind and calmly."

Chapter 646

The north wind quietly blew the flag, and in the mud after the snow melted, the grass began to bud without saying a word, and all kinds of insect eggs were ready to move. With the spring, it was blowing to the earth. Not only nature was revived, but also the soldiers and civilians inside and outside the city of King's Landing their activities.

The crusade against the Reach has been clearly finalized and put on the agenda, and the preparations for food, grass and weapons have been in full swing for more than half a month. Just as everyone held their breaths and waited for the Queen's Army to go out again, another big news broke out in the industrial park. Walking on the shins: The Night Watchman Armory released the blueprints of gunpowder and artillery to the Industrial Park Research Institute, preparing to expand production again in case the war goes wrong.

When the news was released, everyone who heard the news was delighted, but among the happiest people, except for the middle-level technicians of the research institute who will be exposed to higher-level secrets after the technology is decentralized and have the opportunity to learn more knowledge, there will be more after the expanded production. The management of the industrial park, the suppliers, and the workers who can handle the oil and water have more work to do... In addition to such direct stakeholders, there is also a group of strange guys: looking around, trying to get into the night watchman arsenal with their heads sharpened This organization is good for the spies who complete the task of stealing secrets.

The industrial park is a commercial organization, so it is very infiltrated, but the arsenal, as a closed system that is rooted in land-granted land, suspended above the research institute, and has a few core personnel under strict control and protection, really allows them to drill into it. My head hurts and I can't find a breakthrough, and I am at a loss.Unexpectedly, the target suddenly took off his clothes... He removed all layers of defense and actively distributed key information about thermal weapons, which instantly reduced the difficulty of their work by an entire order of magnitude, and put the food that was originally not just right into their bowls ——Let me ask, who would be unhappy to be hit by such a good thing?

A few days ago, a group of people who hated Iger because of the harsh and strict secrecy system he had formulated, all regarded him as a good person in their hearts in a blink of an eye.

However, while the entire city, the enemy and the enemy were immersed in a happy and peaceful atmosphere, one person was disturbed by the news.

……

After listening to his subordinate's latest report, Illyrio waved him away, and habitually crumpled up the evidence that might bring danger and threw it at the stove. It rolled to the corner of the wall with a sound of friction.

"Damn!"

Before the sound of cursing came out, the female slave with excellent eyesight had already ran to the wall, picked up the ball of paper and threw it back into the stove.

Watching the daily report deformed in the flames, blackened and then reduced to ashes in the light, the wealthy businessman's governor's mood did not improve at all - it was not an accident that he threw the ball of paper just now, but it was caused by shaking hands and being unable to stabilize the direction.And the reason why the hand trembled was because of nervousness, and the nervousness was because of the smell of danger.

It's actually not accurate to say that, because the dangerous smell has been lingering around after the meeting with the queen, but...it suddenly increased dozens of times today, thickening and thickening to the point of choking the nose.

After setting the curve-saving policy of "stealing and spreading the secrets of new weapons", Illyrio devoted himself to this work. However, the idea is simple, but the implementation is not easy-over the years, his relationship with Varys The division of labor has always been: the other party is responsible for fighting on the front line of Westeros, and I only provide human and material support behind the scenes in Essos.Such difficult tasks as "visiting the whirlpool center of the Seven Kingdoms in person" and "commanding espionage work on the front line" have long been beyond the capabilities of a wealthy businessman and governor...

Fortunately, he doesn't have to start from scratch.

The research institute is the second largest department of the Night Watchman industry after production. It has many departments and mixed personnel. In fact, long before he came to King's Landing, the middle-level members of the intelligence network who stayed in Westeros had already been in Varys. At the behest, or consciously start to infiltrate into it - if the online one day comes back to contact them and issue tasks, these spies will be awakened from a dormant state to execute the instructions... If not, they will work honestly in the industrial park for the rest of their lives, earning With a small but adequate salary, it is also a good choice to lean on this big tree that can enjoy the shade to get married, have children, and grow old.

In fact, Illyrio doesn't need to direct an infiltration of the industrial park. He just needs to follow the clues left by Varys to find the connectors... and activate the entire network. Just eating the inheritance of his teammates is enough to achieve the short-term goal up.

Due to time constraints, various taboos and precautions could not be laid out in detail... Illyrio is actually very clear: not only is his work efficiency far inferior to that of the octopus spider, but he also does not hide his whereabouts very well, so he must have Careful people noticed that a large number of eyeliners and spies suddenly became active, and became vigilant.

There are two reasons why he bit the bullet and continued.

One is that the Queen's Western Expedition is already on the way, and little Aegon escaped death without external assistance, and he was forced by the situation to have no time to fight steadily;

The second is that he has confidence in the team and system left behind by Varys. As long as it is operated properly, no one can find him in a short period of time... Even if he finds it, it will be due to his benefactor relationship with the Queen , and the neutral status of Pentos, chose not to tear his face.

However, just when the theft reached a bottleneck and he was struggling to find a way to break it, the opponent gave up the effective high-intensity secrecy mechanism without warning, not only did not shrink, but also took the initiative to send the blueprint to his eyelids bottom down?

When the first stage of drilling and infiltration is basically completed, Illyrio dares to say: as long as the gunpowder formula and artillery blueprints are really declassified and distributed, he will be able to do so on the night or at most the next day when the actual objects arrive at the research institute. Get it all!

There is only one question left: is there such a good thing? !

It is said that there will be no pies in the sky, but this is actually a bit absolute.As an old man, Illyrio can say responsibly: As long as a person lives long enough, sooner or later he will encounter a few times when he is actually hit on the head by a pie...

So the question became: this time, is the pie that fell in front of me real?

In all fairness, of course it is possible.The Queen's army is fully preparing for the battle against the River Bend. Facing a powerful feudal kingdom with a population of tens of millions, Daenerys or her staff are worried that their own superior weapons will not be able to gain an overwhelming advantage, so they decide to expand production, which is reasonable.At a time when the war is raging and the smoke is blinding the eyes, even if the decision-makers in front of the queen are annoyed by the turbulent intelligence and espionage activities in the city, they can only choose to suppress it first and free up their hands to manage it after the war. Release the bait to attract spies and spies from all over the world, and then fight the powerful enemy face to face while fighting wits with these flies?

how is this possible.

This seems to make sense, but Illyrio can start from nothing and get to the position where he is one step away from success in the country today because he rarely takes chances.

Almost at the same time, he thought of it logically: just because the war is about to break out right now, the Queen's side has no motive or thought to deal with the small fish and shrimp, but it makes the situation simpler—the middle state is eliminated, and the rest There are only two extremes left.

Or, the opponent made a mistake in the chaos and exposed his flaws;

Or, it is a game, a game against a certain big fish.

And at this moment in King's Landing City, how many characters are qualified to be regarded as "big fish"?

He tried his best to search his mind, but after all he couldn't think of a second name other than himself. When his body was trembling slightly, a sudden thought flashed into his mind like lightning: As the "Pantos rich merchant governor", he was definitely not worthy Mobilize the machine of the Targaryen regime to deal with it. If someone really wants to catch him, then this person must have seen another face of his "those who want to steal the country", and understand his connection with Varys and his relationship with the little one to a certain extent. The relationship between Aegon and Jon Connington and even the existence of a real goal in his heart.

The murderer of the poisoning case that he had been guessing before was probably far away and right in front of his eyes!

Did the queen know the truth?impossible.That's her Prime Minister, the damned Lord Commander of the Night's Watch?But how did he escape the sanction after being poisoned, and regain the favor of Daenerys as the Hand of the Queen?

Before he had time to think about this puzzle, a more terrifying thought broke into his consciousness: If this is really a game, then the "bait" has probably been obtained by his bottom line people, and he is on the way to send it to him. When Fa is manipulating the intelligence network like Varys, there is not much time left for him to react to protect himself!

"Babe." Illyrio sat up suddenly, his fat body twisted so that the chair creaked, "Go and tell Keller to send the message immediately, and don't send any information obtained from the Night Watchman Research Institute directly to I'm here, arrange a ship, pass me and send it back to Pentos!"

As soon as the words fell, he immediately realized: If the opponent is not casting a net to fish but targets himself clearly, then he does not need the bait to actually reach his table before he can do it—catch the secret stealer on the spot and torture him Two names, and then you can skip the intermediate steps and run directly to your side to search.

At that time, what's so difficult about stuffing a copy of the blueprint in any corner while taking advantage of the chaos?

The only way to ensure safety is to retreat physically before the hunter reacts, and leave King's Landing immediately!

He slapped his thigh and stopped the female slave who came to the door: "Wait! We'll talk about this later, first prepare the sedan chair...the carriage, and then send someone to the port to book a boat. We'll go back to Pentos immediately!"

-

Chapter 647

All kinds of noise penetrated the wooden boards into the carriages, hawkers yelled, customers and vendors bargained, cats neighed, dogs barked, and children chased and played and laughed...

Lifting the curtains of the car and looking out, what Illyrio saw was a revived King's Landing ruled by the Queen's Iron Fist: After a struggle between two deer, a long winter, and a series of sieges and breaches, the city finally Still survived the difficulties and ushered in the new century.Although the number of goods sold in the market is still scarce, and people lose weight in winter and won't regain it for a while, but at least the streets have begun to be lively, whether it's residents passing by patrolling soldiers but not seeing each other. The harmonious state of interference and influence, or the ease and hope shown on their faces when they were together, all revealed that everyone has stepped out of the shadows and started to work hard to enter the track of normal life.

It took a lot of effort to set up the car and rush to the south gate. He traveled through half of the city without encountering any abnormalities. The tight string in Illyrio's stomach gradually began to relax, and he stayed at the Linhe Gate, which was open as usual He finally breathed a sigh of relief as the flow of people coming and going came into view.

From the looks of it, maybe I was really nervous?

The night watchman industry released the news of the confidential demotion, but King's Landing City did not close its doors to beat the dogs, which means: either this is not a game against itself, or it is its own decisive and abnormal evacuation... The person who set up the game was caught off guard.

"My lord, should we queue up to leave the city, or negotiate with the guards to apply for priority?" The driver at the front turned to ask him for instructions, because Illyrio was here on behalf of Pentos and had a semi-official status as a diplomat, so he could have a certain amount of time according to the rules. Privileged, so have this question.

"The line isn't long, just wait a bit." Illyrio stroked his round belly and replied after careful consideration.

Outside the city gate is the wharf, and outside the wharf is the black water estuary and the inner and outer naval patrol lines around Dragonstone Island. If the Queen's Hand is determined to target herself, she will be chased back when she boards the boat. Going out of the city gate for a while is of no help at all... Rather than slamming around with a diplomatic identity like a headless chicken, it is better to go out calmly and follow the normal procedure. It will not be three or two minutes away from escaping and ascending to heaven.

So the servants acted according to their words, and followed the carriage to the end of the flow of people out of the city.

It was past noon, and the flow of people outside was very long. Fortunately, the Unsullied and free folk soldiers guarding the gate were only maintaining order, and did not search and question those who passed through the gate. The speed of the team was not too slow.Looking at the Linhe city gate that was getting closer and closer, Illyrio's heart was hanging lower and lower, only the last half inch was still hanging in the air, and his mind became active with the restoration of the sense of security.

Returning to the city first ruled out that all the work in King's Landing has been properly arranged, and the stealing of the Night Watchman's property can be carried out without his own command, even if there is only a [-]/[-] chance that this matter may be a trap aimed at him , and he will never remain in peril;

But return to Pentos?He really planned that just now, but now that he thinks about it carefully, it seems that it is not feasible.

Pentos is just his residence, not his territory.

Illyrio is not a diplomat of the city-state. This trip is an opportunity to visit Westeros, which he voluntarily won. , to inquire about their political leanings and their prospects and plans for the future relationship between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.Find partners and allies, and try your best to maintain the existing resources and strive for more benefits for Pentos in the new Targaryen dynasty.

Now, Daenerys' political leanings are clear to him, but there is no need to inquire about Little Aegon - if there is no way to give the latter effective support immediately, can the Golden Group and the River Bay be able to win the Queen's Army? What's the use of trying to understand a loser's policy plan if you're still in doubt for a month in the face of a powerful offensive?

Returning to Essos to continue to support the establishment of the "city-state union" is one way, but it is difficult to save the near fire, not to mention the fact that if he returns to Pentos now in despair, he will go on a diplomatic mission Unfinished, he must first bear the censure and punishment of other governors. Whether it is fines, confiscation of some properties, or early repayment of certain debts, they will all cut off the extremely tight capital chain that he has managed to support little Aegon. , Let the truth of his swollen face to pretend to be a fat man be exposed, causing the entire faction to collapse in an instant.

Can't go home!

While thinking about it, he thought of the last straw: the valley.

As the last force among the Seven Kingdoms that did not stand in line and express its position, the rulers of the valley must be discussing foreign policies and strategies in a mess at the moment... In the situation where the two traditional allies of the North and the River are standing on the queen's side Under the circumstances, it is unlikely that they will sing a different tune and join the alliance with the Bend, but since the civil war in Westeros is coming to an end and the situation is beginning to become clear, it is difficult to get enough preferential treatment and rewards for voting for the queen at this moment.In other words, theoretically speaking, the princes of the Valley have the motivation and willingness to do things at this moment!

The thing mentioned here is naturally not sending troops to attack King’s Landing—they would not dare to borrow ten courage from the old black fish and the epileptic little duke, but as long as the valley is in the bend of the Queen’s Sending Troops, and goes deep into the Mander River Plain and Qingshou At the critical moment when the coalition forces of a line of nobles are entangled in a fierce battle, Bing Bleeding Gate, the junction of the Army Valley and the River... Even if it does not take half a step to constitute an actual invasion, it only needs to threaten the northern part of the king's land and negotiate with Daenerys with a tough attitude Surrendering to the conditions can relieve little Aegon's frontal pressure on the southern battlefield to a certain extent, and buy him precious respite and time to wait for foreign aid!

The difficulty lies only in: what reasons and advantages should I use to persuade those idiots in the valley to take the chestnut out of the fire for me?

City-state union.

Probably because of his quick-witted surprise, Illyrio came up with the answer almost instantly - the "City Federation", the anti-Mother of Dragons alliance proposed by the Volantenes, is still in its infancy in reality. Among them, it didn't scare its imaginary enemy Daenerys herself at all, but the people of the valley didn't know this!

Just tell them: After the queen has conquered the river bend, there is still a powerful city federation to deal with, and she has no intention of rectifying the valley. Provide some practical benefits on this basis, maybe this not-so-powerful chess piece can be used to cross the river!

The final question is: where does this "little practical benefit" come from.

……

Racking their brains and thinking about all the possibilities to break the situation, the team escorting Governor Pantos approached the Linhe Gate staggeringly, and the soldiers of the new garrison who lined up at the gate and acted as a human wall still waved their hands to signal them to hurry up. pass.For a moment, it seemed that Illyrio was about to pass through the door and enter the pier of the hastily restored South Gate of King's Landing, but at this moment, a rush of horseshoes came from the north of the street, and the rhythm of his heart seemed to be chaotic. Quickly lifted the curtain and looked in the direction of the sound, what he saw immediately dispelled his last fluke.

The riders galloping forward were indeed dressed in black!

Chapter 648

When people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven.

Just when Iger hid in the shadows and weaved the big net quietly, enjoying the pleasure of relying on the advantages of time and place to play with his opponents who were higher than him in the applause, the plan suddenly derailed and overturned.

The incident was quite serious, and it can be summed up as follows: the opponent who has been abused, smashed the controller and smashed the machine, and stopped playing the game of power with him.

The fishing-style arrest within the Industrial Research Institute has been carried out step by step. According to the original plan, Iger will "urgently" meet with the Queen after noon to report the progress of the investigation to her, and tell her that the rich businessman Governor Illyrio has instructed and participated in stealing gunpowder and artillery secrets. suspicion.After saying hello and getting permission, send someone to form a joint investigation team with the Unsullied to search the Pentos Mission's residence in the evening - when the time comes, take advantage of the chaos and insert a blueprint, and everyone will get evidence The chain is intact, it's either shit or shit, it's enough for Illyrio to jump into the Blackwater River and can't wash it off.

However, the hastily made plan couldn't cover everything. Harvey, who was ordered to monitor Illyrio, suddenly found that the target of his stalking left the hotel without any warning, and went straight to Linhe Gate without packing his things. escape!

Not daring to make his own decisions, he sent someone back to report to Iger, and at the same time personally led the team to stick to him... Iger's instructions have not yet arrived, but the target is about to leave King's Landing through the door. In an emergency, Before he had time to think about it, he rushed up to find the guard captain of Linhe Gate, and took the token that Iger had given him in advance to pass on a false military order, and asked the gatekeepers to intercept the Pentos mission personnel in the name of the Queen's Hand and conduct a search.

Of course, the guard at the Linhe Gate is the queen, not Iger's cronies. It is impossible to help him plant a foreign envoy, and Harvey can't forcibly stuff blueprints into Illyrio's carriage under the gaze of thousands of eyes in public... ...It can be said that this impromptu pursuit and interception will most likely end up in a panic, and the biggest gain is to beat Illyrio hard, so that his exit will be completed in a disgraceful manner.
