Liu Jian easily won the next team competition and archery competition, the champion of the team competition was rewarded with 20,000 gold dragons, the archery champion was 10,000, plus the 40,000 gold dragon reward of the spear competition champion. The 90,000 Golden Dragon prize money prepared by Petyr Berish for the tournament was taken by Liu Jian alone, and the remaining 20,000 fell into the hands of Loras Tyrrell.

After the 70,000 golden dragon arrived, Liu Jian only had one feeling.

It is a miracle that Westero did not go down under the rule of Robert Baratheon, or even a little upheaval. No...... I guess it's the blessing of the seven gods.

Westeros' most important military force was the knights who were trained under the knighthood, including the propertied knights, the knights of oaths, and the knights of mercenary.

Without considering the knight's own martial arts and training, the cost of making a knight fully armed, equipped with armor, weapons, mounts, and even squires adds up to ten to thirteen golden dragons, even taking into account various aspects such as logistics and training, the highest price of a knight is twenty golden dragons.

In other words, with these 70,000 golden dragons, Liu Jian could organize a fully armed knight army of 3,000 people.

Considering that there are not many opportunities to really need a large number of heavily armed knights on the real battlefield, the average soldier does not need to be equipped with a variety of weapons such as swords, spears, bows and arrows, and flails like knights, plus the cost of squires and horses is omitted. These 70,000 golden dragons can pull an army of about 10,000 people, of course, under normal circumstances, such an army must lack sufficient combat effectiveness.

So what is an army of 10,000 men on the continent of Dothraki?

In the original book, Robb Stark raised a rebellion because of his father, gathered vassals in the name of the Duke of the North, and sent out the army of the North. And how many people are in Robb Stark's army?

Almost in the early 20,000s.

That's right, there are only 20,000 troops in the whole of the North. Not to mention that a large part of the 20,000 troops were recruited by Robb Stark in the name of the Duke of the North, and before the war began, they were not soldiers, twenty farmers, hunters, fishermen, etc., etc......

In other words, Liu Jian only participated in one competition, and he received a monetary reward equivalent to half of the northern army.

When Liu Jian calculated the terrifying value of the prize at the grand banquet held after the game, Rao was that Liu Jian had a gold reserve that could be regarded as an exaggerated amount, and the extravagance of this reward still made Liu Jian gasp.

Although in terms of value conversion, it can't be calculated so simply and rudely. But King Robert's extravagance and exaggeration still shocked Liu Jian beyond words. But come to think of it, the Iron Throne was forced out by Robert in a monstrous debt of over six million gold dragons when he had ample tax revenue in the middle of the long summer.

These 70,000 golden dragons are nothing when you think about it.

Shaking his head lightly and drinking the red wine in the wine glass, Liu Jian had nothing to say to Robert Baratheon, what is called death, what is called after my death, who cares if he is flooded, Liu Jian has seen it now.

Although he himself has no interest in this kind of noisy banquet, as the brightest star of the tournament, these are his obligations.

But this banquet is really boring.

"Wow, whoa, whoa, let me see who this is. The Majin Knight at the tournament was the first person to win three championships. Just when Liu Jian was bored, a funny voice that seemed to be deliberate came into Liu Jian's ears.

The person who came was a short, middle-aged man with a thin body, dark hair mixed with a little gray, a pair of gray-green eyes slightly raised at the corners of his mouth, and a pair of gray-green eyes with crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, filled with a kind smile. He wore a dark cloak similar to the color of his hair, which was pinned to his chest with a coat of arms. Seeing that coat of arms, Liu Jian seemed to remember who this middle-aged man was.

The coat of arms of the sound-like bird was worn by only one person in Westeros. That was the king's chancellor, Petyr Berish.

When I used to read A Song of Ice and Fire. Petyr Berishi left a deep impression on Liu Jian. This impression is even more profound than the wolf family as the protagonists.

If the people of the Wolf family are at a loss in Game of Thrones, then Petyr Berish is as happy as a fish in water in this intriguing political struggle. He is a cunning fox who lives in King's Landing, cold-eyed and provokes a fight between beasts and gets a piece of the pie from the winner.

As a politician, a typical politician and a clever speculator, Petyr Berish was undoubtedly very successful.

Before the plot begins. Originally born into a small and uninfluential family on the Five Fingers Peninsula, Petyr Beriss, with his innate talent for money and trade, and perseverance, quickly rose through the ranks of his humble class beyond the imagination of most people in Westeros, until he became the king's chancellor of the exchequer who could sit at the Imperial Council.

But even at this point, Petyr Berish was not satisfied.

For Petyr Berish, intelligence is power. Lies are armed, betrayals are commonplace, and loyalty and integrity are worthless. Whoever decides to believe the smallpox that spits out of the mouth of Petyr Berish, the only thing that awaits him is the worst deception and betrayal.

In the original book, Caitlin Tully and her husband Ned Stark believe Petyr Berlis's honey-wrapped lie because of her past relationships.

In a way, a large part of the cause of the War of the Five Kings was due to Petyr Berish's incessant provocation and betrayal throughout the fermentation process, as his seduction Jon Irene was poisoned by his wife Lysa Tully, and his lies led Catelyn Tully and Ned Stark to mistake the imp for the murderer who pushed Bran off the tower and instructed the Assassins to assassinate the sleeping Bran, causing Catelyn Tully to kidnap the imp and go to Arryn Valley. This led to Jaime Lannister's blatant attack on former Prime Minister Ned Stark in King's Landing, which completely ignited the struggle between Lannister and Stark.

At the end of Game of Thrones, Petyr Berish ostensibly agrees to help Ned Stark take control of the capital garrison to ease Ned Stark's mind, but at the last critical moment, he suddenly betrays and defects in favor of Cersei, resulting in Ned Stark's arrest and beheading on charges of treason.

After this. Petyr Berish still did not stop, using his vast intelligence and skillful lies, Petyr Berish continued to earn benefits, status and rights in the chaos that did not belong to him.

"Yo, isn't this Lord Petyr, as the king's Chancellor of the Exchequer, how can he have the strength to come and see me, a humble little person." Liu Jian smiled lightly. He didn't have any ill feelings towards Petyr Berish, and even to some extent, Liu Jian had a deep affection for Petyr Berish.

Looking at Petyrberg's life experience, if you look at it from the perspective of the Baratheon family or the protagonist Stark family, Petyr Berishi is the kind of conspirator who lurks in the darkness and is the culprit of the turmoil. But if you look at Petyrberry's life experience from another angle, it is simply a standard ** silk counterattack phoenix male template, although he did not take back his goddess from the hands of Gao Fu Shuai, but the goddess's sister and the goddess's daughter have fallen into his palm one after another.

Such a life experience. Anyway, it's quite inspirational.

"Oh, lowly little people? I really don't know. Petyr Berish smiled and said, "The Tagore Stockton I know is now a well-known figure in King's Landing. The first person to win three championships in an unprecedented premiership tournament. My ears were calloused when I heard the name Tagore Stockton this day. ”

"Really?" Liu Jian smiled lightly, poured a glass of wine for Petyr Berish, and then poured himself another glass, then gently shook the cup and said, "Legend has it that Lord Berlisi has the most sensitive ears in the entire Seven Kingdoms, and knows secrets that many people think no one knows. ”

"Is there such a statement?" When he was served, Petyr Berish did not drink it. The gray-green eyes full of smiles stared firmly at Liu Jian's face, as if he wanted to see something from that face: "Contemptible people do often hear some gossip. Of course, the vast majority are rumors of nonsense. ”

"Oh, so did Lord Petyr happen to hear some nonsense like this, like who...... Poisoned the Majin Knight's mount. ”

"I haven't really heard of this." Petyr Berish said with a smile, his tone sincere.

I don't know?

Is it possible?

King's Landing is a mixed bag. Interesting news is always delivered very quickly. For example, Liu Jian heard from others about the gamble between Petyr Berish and the king's younger brother, Duke of Storm's End, during the final of the tournament.

"Oh, that's a shame." Liu Jian said with a disappointed face: "Originally, I knew a lot of secret things about Lord Petyr, and I originally thought that Lord Petyr would also know a lot of news that I was interested in." ”

"Oh, what am I secret?"

"Oh, it's not a big deal." Liu Jian said indifferently. His mouth opened slightly, and he spat out name after name: "Jon Irene, Rysa Tully, Robert Irene, for example." Oh, especially Mistress Petyr's dagger, I remember it was a dagger of Valyrian steel, with a handle made of keel, and it was worth a lot of money. Who did Lord Petyr lose him to, was it a little devil? ”

With Liu Jian's words, the smile on Petyr's face became more and more vigorous.

"I can't believe that Sir Tagore Stockton, who came from Essos, knew so much. Jon Irene, the venerable former Prime Minister, helped me a lot. Lysa, it was a poor woman, and that poor boy Robert, oh, I heard that he was always in poor health, and I don't know if he was better off now back in Arryn Valley. I do have some news here that Sir Tagore might be interested in. For example, the Assassin Brotherhood, has Sir Tagore ever heard of their names? The Assassin Brotherhood in Essos is a killer organization alongside the Faceless, and legend has it that all members of the Assassin Brotherhood are castrated eunuchs, and it is not known whether this is true or false. ”

"Oh, that's interesting." Liu Jian smiled, showing an interested look.

"It's not the little birds of Varys that are everywhere." Petyr Berish smiled and said, "There are many ways to get information, as long as you find a way, you can always get some surprising and absurd news from afar, and sometimes I can even get some news that Varys doesn't know. Although some of these messages sound very ridiculous,"

The two of them were soft, and they were alone in the corner of the banquet hall, and the cacophony of the banquet hall ensured that their conversation would not be heard.

But this is not the right place for a formal conversation after all.

"You may drink, Lord Petyr." Liu Jian picked up his wine glass and raised his head slightly towards Petyr: "Respect for your wisdom and talent, this wisdom and talent make you qualified to drink with me." ”

Petyr didn't drink, he even put his glass down and placed it on the table: "With all due respect, my lord, this is King's Landing. ”

"Oh, I seem to have known that this is King's Landing, what's the difference?" Liu Jian showed a look of surprise: "For me? ”

"Petyr, Petyr, Petyr, Petyr. For you, intelligence is power, because you have a lot of information. For some, power is power because they hold it. But for me......" Liu Jian stood up with a smile: "Force is power!" ”

Standing up and taking a few steps, Liu Jian turned his head to look at the thoughtful Petyr and said lightly: "Two days Petyr, find out the person who poisoned my horse." This is my chance for you, take advantage of it. As someone who climbs up, you should be very clear. ...... in this world There is never a second chance! ”

"It won't take two days, I can tell you right now." Petyr stood up, glass of red wine in his hand: "That man is me." ”

"Oh, that's funny."

"How so...... For a big event like the final of a martial arts tournament, the stakes for a gamble are quite a lot. Petyr raised the wine glass in his hand towards Liu Jian: "I suddenly found that I am very thirsty now. ”

The glass went down, and Petyr drank it down. (To be continued.) )
