Chapter 212 Stormy Weather
Chapter 210 The storm is rising
The unexpected proposal of Queen Regent Cersei disrupted the plans of everyone present, causing the meeting to end quickly and nothing happened.
Late at night, ravens were released all over King's Landing, flying to all parts of the Seven Kingdoms.
At the same time, a woman visited the residence of Naho, the messenger of the Iron Bank.
She was fat and plump, wearing a luxurious robe, her round face was like a pink moon, she had thick black curly hair, and her perfume smelled enough to choke a mouse to death.
For a moment, Naho was in a daze, thinking that this was some noble lady with whom he had an affair.
It wasn't until the woman's familiar sweet tone sounded that Naho realized that the person in front of him was actually Varys, the intelligence chief of the seven nations.
He secretly wondered why this famous spy chief came to visit him.
Suddenly, he remembered what happened today and asked tentatively:
"Did you deliver that letter to the Queen Regent?"
Wallis said nothing and nodded in acquiescence. Naho asked angrily:
"Why are you doing this? What's in it for you?"
"I am the intelligence chief of the Seven Nations. This is my responsibility."
Upon hearing this, Naho sneered and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Responsibility? Then why don't you hand it over to the Queen Mother in person? She doesn't trust you. If the Queen Mother of a kingdom doesn't trust her own intelligence chief, then what secrets does this kingdom have? It's really ridiculous."
"Tell me, what is your purpose here?"
Wallis didn't care about Naho's ridicule at all, he still seemed so sincere, and he said in a calm voice:
"I'm here to help you, but I didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so impulsive. Otherwise, you could leave King's Landing with the golden dragon today and complete the task given to you by the Iron Bank."
"Help me. If you really want to help me, you will not remain silent at the meeting. Then, I can leave King's Landing with one-third of the royal family's property."
"That's impossible, and it's too simple. No one here today can make the decision, including the Queen Mother Regent."
Naho understood what Wallis meant and temporarily put aside his prejudices, but still carefully guarded against the spy leader.
"Who can call the shots, King Joffrey?"
"Warden of the West, Lord Tywin Lannister of Casterly Rock."
"You should know his name. During the time of Aerys II, he was the one who resolved the financial disputes between the Iron Throne and Braavos."
"Now, he is the Queen Mother's father and the King's grandfather. He is the only one who can provide this money for the Iron Throne. The so-called one-third of the royal property. Duke Tywin does not agree, so the Queen Mother's promise is like useless paper. , and with the Duke’s skill in planning, there is no way he would agree to this deal.”
After listening to Wallis's explanation, Naho nodded and said:
"I understand, so you took out the secret letter. If you don't want to completely push the Iron Bank to Stannis in the next war, Lord Tywin will pay for the king's debts."
"Tell me, Varys, your true purpose, what do you want from me?"
Varys had the ability to make everyone rely on him even though they thought he was disgusting and untrustworthy.
Seeing that the time had come, Wallis did not hesitate and said without revealing his edge:
"Before his death, King Robert gave me his last order to assassinate Daenerys Targaryen."
"According to my information, she married the Dothraki Horse King and always persuaded the Horse King to restore her kingdom. This is a huge trouble for the Iron Throne."
"I think Westeros and Braavos have a common enemy, and the same interests, for that matter."
Naho stared at Wallis closely for a long time. He didn't see any problem on the disguised face, and finally said:
"As expected of a spider, your intelligence network is indeed pervasive. Leave first. Someone will contact you about this matter."
Wallis didn't respond to the compliment, or maybe he was defensive, he just nodded slightly.
Then, his demeanor changed instantly, and he left Naho's residence like a true lady.
If anyone observes him carefully, they will find that Varys's disguise is not only different in appearance and smell, but even in the way he walks.
——
Just when all parties were turbulent and fighting for the outcome of the chess game, the idle chess move that Meng Ge had made long ago finally played its due role.
The continent of Essos, the free trade city of Qohor.
Since the Dothraki opened up the trade route to Yidi, caravans going to the east have to pass through here.
Qohor has benefited greatly from its geographical location, and the current governor, Aslan Mackennin, has also gained a high reputation for his good governance. Some people have even accepted him as the lifelong governor.
But no one in Qohor knew that the identity of lifelong governor was a painful memory for Aslan.
Because their governor's real surname is Luo Jiaer.
No one in Qohor knows Aslan's true identity.
He was originally a holy warrior of the Lord of Light, a traitor who led the Dothraki into the city, and a spy who swore allegiance to the Dothraki King Mongo.
At this time, Aslan had just finished meeting with the envoy from the Sea King of Braavos.
Drawing on Volantis history from the Age of Blood, the emissary described the threat from the Dothraki to Aslan and attempted to persuade Qohor to join them.
And they will definitely defeat the Dothraki just like they defeated Volantis, so that everyone will regain their freedom and Essos will return to peace.
After the Dothraki hegemony is destroyed, all city-states will no longer have to suffer the plunder and oppression of the Dothraki, and will be able to share the trade route to the East.
Aslan listened to the grand plan described by the messenger with great interest, nodded repeatedly, and finally agreed happily.
But the messenger did not know that before he left Qohor, Aslan had written all the news he had heard into a letter and sent it to Vaes Dothraki.
Then, Aslan opened the secret room in the room, took out a Valyrian steel sword from it, and wiped it carefully.
This sword is called "Truth", which witnessed the history of the Rogal family, including their blood feud with Braavos.
In fact, in addition to Aslan of Qohor, there are several ravens flying over the sky of the Dothraki Sea.
They flew with all their might, carrying secret letters to clear the doubts of the great khal or to warn him.
Some of them came from Pentos, released by Harry Strickland, the leader of the Golden Company; some came from Volantis, released by Benero, the High Priest of the Lord of Light, and the Waterside Widow; some came from Tyrosh, Myr, and Lys, released by slaves who were liberated and returned home by the Dothraki.
No matter what the purpose of these people is, for power and status, for preaching, for gratitude, or for great ideals.
But they all show that the Dothraki are not isolated in this world. Not only do some people hate it, but there are also people who expect it to continue to move forward.
