#161 - Chapter 7: The Weak Conspiracy

Liu Yuan made no secret of his mockery, saying to him, "The hearts of the people! That is the most unreliable thing. If the Targaryen family were truly loved by the people, you wouldn't be wandering in Essos. If you want to fight back, you need at least an army! And it can't be too small, twenty or thirty thousand is the minimum. You also need a fleet that can transport the army across the Narrow Sea. To maintain so many people's food and drink, weapon maintenance, warhorses, and other supplies, you need at least a million gold dragons to ensure the army has sufficient combat power."

He then looked mischievously at Illyrio and asked, "Governor, can you come up with such a large sum of money to support your Majesty's cause?"

"Cough, cough, cough... well, I may not have that financial strength," Illyrio said awkwardly.

Viserys gritted his teeth and said, "I must reclaim my crown, and I will pay any price for it. If you can support me, I will marry my sister Daenerys to you and also grant you the title of Prince. You can choose any place in the Seven Kingdoms except Dorne as a permanent fief."

Liu Yuan glanced at the bean sprout-like little girl. Three years minimum, death penalty at worst, he couldn't muster any interest. He shook his head and said, "Sorry, your promise doesn't move me. I don't see any chance of success in you. But for the sake of being a descendant of Valyria, I can offer you some small help. Hmm, I'll give you ten thousand H币 as seed money, and then give you fifty Unsullied as guards."

Although it was far from what he had imagined, he still received such great help. This was the first real investment Viserys had received, and he stood up and bowed: "Thank you for your support, my promise still stands."

Liu Yuan said faintly, "Work hard! Young King, if you can truly become strong, I will join your ranks. Sorry, I have things to do - goodbye!"

"Commander Galon, let me see you off," Illyrio stood up to see him off.

On the way, Illyrio said, "Lord Galon, you shouldn't have directly rejected His Majesty's invitation."

Liu Yuan said without turning his head, "Otherwise? You and Varys would be spreading my identity in Westeros, do you think that would be useful? There's one thing I don't understand, why do you Blackfyre remnants support the Targaryen exiles?"

Illyrio's mind was like a thunderclap, his head spinning. He pointed at Liu Yuan: "You... you... you... how... did you know!"

Liu Yuan smiled and said, "Looking at your reaction, I guessed right. So Varys' entry into the court was secretly arranged by you! Then let me guess, the already paranoid Aerys II, after seeing the true or false information Varys arranged for him, would definitely become more tyrannical and irritable. Only when Westeros is in chaos will you have a chance. But unfortunately, you miscalculated. The person you secretly arranged didn't have time to appear or something went wrong, and in the end, the Baratheon family got lucky and seized the Iron Throne."

Illyrio gradually calmed down. With each sentence Liu Yuan spoke, his face became more unsightly. "What else do you know?"

Liu Yuan laughed loudly: "I didn't know originally, but your performance was too obvious. This pair of siblings should be the targets you pushed to the front! You brought me together to support the former royal family, and you spread rumors in Westeros, forcing me to rebel, to achieve the purpose of disrupting the situation. Then find a chance to kill Viserys and let the one you truly support step onto the stage. Then I, who have lost my legitimate status, can only support you. A very good plan, who came up with it?"

Illyrio was silent for a long time before saying, "We underestimated your wisdom, we are sorry for plotting against you. But we have no malice, instead, we will give you a great fortune. Some things are confidential, and I can't say them yet."

Liu Yuan said indifferently, "It doesn't matter, if you don't want to say it, I can guess it. You and Varys came from the bottom, scheming and plotting is okay. Such a big picture layout must be thought of by someone who held power in Westeros and commanded the army. Currently, the only one in Essos who meets the conditions is Jon Connington, who was exiled."

Illyrio was already numb, he didn't expect that it was just a simple test, and the other party had insight into everything. At that moment, he even wanted to violently kill him to silence him, but the next moment he extinguished this unrealistic fantasy. Liu Yuan, who was still a teenager, could beat the Dothraki horselord. With his current bloated figure, he better not joke around.

Liu Yuan continued, "Hehe, it's getting more interesting. Why would Jon Connington join you? He is Prince Rhaegar's best friend, and with Varys' ability, swapping Rhaegar's youngest son is not difficult. Tsk tsk tsk, your confidence is the Golden Company's tens of thousands of mercenaries!"

"Don't say any more!" Illyrio quickly interrupted him, not daring to let Liu Yuan continue to guess.

Liu Yuan smiled and said, "I'm saying this to make you clear. In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are not worth mentioning. We had a pleasant cooperation before, but you provoked me first. If you dare to disturb my peaceful life, I will directly occupy Pentos and destroy your foundation first. Then I will send troops to encircle and suppress the Golden Company with all my strength, killing everyone related to it. Any force that shelters it will be my enemy. Until death! Hahaha ~"

Illyrio's legs went weak and he knelt on the ground, saying to him in horror, "Lord Galon, please forgive me. We really have no intention of being your enemy."

Liu Yuan waved his hand: "I hate trouble, it's just a small warning to you. Everything remains the same, remember not to provoke me again."

Illyrio didn't stand up for a long time after Liu Yuan left. He had never been so frightened. After a long time, he ran to the study, he wanted to send a message to Varys.

Night fell, on the cliff on the west coast of Pentos. Liu Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed, a light curtain lit up, and a golden figure appeared from it. It was a golden dragon with a body length of twenty meters.

As soon as Leviathan came out and stretched its wings, it wanted to roar. "Shut up!" A cold shout interrupted it. The giant dragon lowered its head aggrievedly to rub against Liu Yuan, and Liu Yuan stroked its hard scales with his hand. Leviathan's growth rate is not fast. It has only grown to its current size in eight years. It is twenty-four meters long from head to tail, and its wingspan is over twenty-six meters. It can control the temperature of its breath, and at full strength, it can melt obsidian, which is at least 1718°C. Leviathan's power is also enormous, and it can easily tear mammoths apart with its forelimbs.
