Chapter Ninety-Five: Game of Thrones
Mutter...... Mutter...... Mutter......
In the bright moonlight, the owl let out a long call.
Here, on the outskirts of Targoviste, is a forest known locally as Silent Hill.
There are many legends about Silent Hill, all of which are related to words like witches, dark creatures, and the like.
In fact, Silent Hill is a mass grave where all the people who died of the Black Death in Targovistai more than a hundred years ago were buried.
With all sorts of horror legends and an already eerie environment, it's rare for people to come here, even during the day, let alone at night.
And at this moment, a freight carriage, parked at the edge of Silent Hill, with the goods behind it, covered with a thick canvas.
A few meters away, a dim oil lamp sits on the ground, and next to it, two men with shovels are digging a hole in the soft earth.
The two of them worked silently, and soon dug a large pit with a length and width of three meters and a depth of about one meter.
"Enough."
A man with long hair said a few words and threw the shovel aside.
The other man did the same, and put down the shovel.
Immediately afterwards, the two walked to the carriage, and the canvas behind the carriage was lifted as soon as it was lifted.
More than a dozen cold corpses, exposed to the bright moonlight, some of their heads smashed, some of their chests pierced by sharp blades.
The two men, as if they had become accustomed to this, did not change their expressions at all.
They skillfully lifted a corpse, like a cargo, into a dug pit, then a second, a third......
The truck was cleaned, and the minced flesh and brain tissue scattered inside were thrown into the pit, leaving only the remnants of blood that could not be removed.
On the other end, the corpses almost filled the big pit, and the two people who dug the pit had just the right control of the space.
After resting for a while, they picked up the shovel again and buried the corpse in the big pit shallowly.
Before dawn the next day, there will be all kinds of wild beasts, digging through the shallow layers of soil and enjoying the flesh and blood inside.
And this is also the final destination of the fighting hyenas in the fighting arena.
The two men who were in charge of handling the corpse threw the shovel into the cargo hopper, re-covered the canvas, and drove the carriage back to Targoviste.
When the carriage completely disappeared from sight, on a tree not far away, two figures showed their figures.
Millsa and the redhead followed the two guys from Flea Street all the way to Silent Hill.
Along the way, neither of them noticed anything abnormal, and the carriage transporting the corpse left Flea Street and went straight here without making any stops.
No matter how you look at it, the whole process is just a simple transportation of corpses, and it has nothing to do with the transfer of gold coins.
Mirsa, on the tree, frowned, wondering if Tsepeš was pointing in the wrong direction of the investigation.
……
In the palace of Kurtea, Tepes didn't have the heart to think about the Freedom Society, at the moment he just wanted to hang Janos and fight.
At first, the two had just met, and everything was quite harmonious.
The only thing that made Tepes feel uncomfortable was that Janos had been looking at him with the eyes of an old father.
Then, the two men talked about working together against the Ottomans, and on this point, they were absolutely in agreement.
However, Hungary is the strong side and Wallachia is at a disadvantage, and this is not an equal talk.
Tsepes was mentally prepared for this, however, there were some demands that were too excessive for him to accept.
Provide military funds to Hungary and make western Wallachia a condominium between the two countries.
Undisguised robbery is even more heinous than the Ottoman behavior.
It was for this reason that Tepes had the idea of hanging Janos at the head of the city, and beckoned him with a leather whip dipped in salt water.
In the end, of course, Cepes didn't do that, and Hungary was the most important part of all his arrangements.
"Your Excellency, the Ottomans are our common enemy, so by helping Wallachia, you are helping yourself."
Cepes said the most simple truth, but he knew that it would not work.
Janos came alone, that is, he had already calculated, Tsepes needed his help, and if he didn't get benefits, how could he give up.
Sure enough, the guy kept his haughty tone and said:
"Don't talk about the meaningless stuff, it's Wallachia, not Hungary that will be beaten.
If you want reinforcements, you have to pay the price, young man, such a simple truth, didn't your father teach you? ”
"Yanosh, don't involve my husband, you're a clown compared to him."
Lady Mary was on the sidelines, and when she heard something she didn't like to hear, she immediately turned her lips back.
And Janos, not only did not get angry, but explained with a smile:
"I'm just teaching the kids, I don't mean to belittle Vlad, we were the best friends when we were out and about."
Speaking rather politely, Janos not only did not get angry, but smiled.
He smiled and said:
"I just taught the children a few words, I didn't say anything bad about Vlad, when the two of us were out together, we were best friends."
"Humph! He was the eldest son of the Grand Duke, and you were just a little knight, so of course you would like to be his good friend.
At that time......"
"Mother, don't mention the past again, let Prince Janos and I have a good talk about the future."
It is definitely not a wise thing to talk about the past with a heroic character, and also belittle the old past of the other party.
Tsepes stopped Madame Maria, then looked at Janos and said:
"Your Excellency, I can pay the price, but I don't know if the price is for you or Hungary."
If morality can't be discussed, then everyone will talk about interests, and Janos came alone, definitely not for the little Hungarian king.
Janos's expression changed, but he still asked cautiously:
"What's the difference?"
"Eight-year-olds, still young, don't know what power is.
But a few years later, Your Excellency, Hungary was still Habsburg Hungary.
And whether you can survive until that time is a question. ”
Game of Thrones is both complex and brutal, and Yanos has been unable to get out of the whirlpool of power.
Tsepes hit the nail on the head, and his words went straight to the depths of Yanosh's soul
Then, Janos looked at Cepes's eyes, and it was completely different from before.
Before, he thought that Cepes was just a lucky boy.
And now, he put Cepes and himself on the same level, no longer with any contempt.
Coming back to his senses, he spoke:
"I'm too old to live for a few years, and I don't have too many extravagant desires.
I have struggled all my life to achieve what I am now, and I am very satisfied.
However, I don't want the fruits of my struggle to be wiped out after my death, and I don't want the Hunyadi family to be persecuted.
For this, I want to be selfish, and that shouldn't be a problem. ”
"Of course it's not a problem, the Habsburgs, they have too many things, and the Hunyadi family can take some of them."
Tsepes already understood what Janos wanted, and he was willing to contribute to it as long as it did not conflict with Wallachia's interests.
