"Quick, move faster!"

"Be careful with this, it's easy to break!"

"Hey, hey, hey... That is, you, don't fall to the ground! ”

Above the pier.

Zhang Zhao wiped his sweat while directing the servants to carry the materials.

Looking at his current appearance, he looks like a high-powered minister.

is obviously an old businessman who is unwilling to retire and insists on doing it himself.

Around this wharf, there are many Chu troops stationed.

Since the morning, many Chu troops have begun to pay attention to this side.

Until this moment.

Almost all the Chu troops stationed around knew about the ministers of Jiangdong and supervised the work on the docks of the Chu State.

And the reason why the other party did this was because he wanted to please Xu Tian, the king of Chu!

Such news is spreading at a very fast speed.

Among them, of course, the traces of the shadow guard are indispensable.

Time.

The morale of the Chu army was greatly boosted, and they all knew that because of the strength of their king, the ministers of the enemy country were willing to come to the Chu State to serve them.

Zhang Zhao naturally didn't know all this.

He thought differently!

In Zhang Zhao's view, being able to stabilize Xu Tian now is more important than anything else.

As long as Jingzhou is stabilized and they are not allowed to have the idea of sending troops, then his task will be successfully completed.

Now, as long as Zhang Zhao thought of Sun Quan's melancholy eyes, his heart would twitch violently.

That's when it happened.

The Chu army on the dock suddenly increased.

Among them are even dozens of shadow guards, and since their appearance, these people have been like a great enemy.

With a spear in hand, he glanced around with a cold gaze.

After these people began to appear, the servants who carried the supplies couldn't help but stop and looked at them with great fear.

Zhang Zhao frowned, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and after hesitating for a moment, he still raised his feet and walked towards these people.

"What are you doing here?" Zhang Zhao walked politely to a shadow guard and asked with a smile.

It's a pity.

The soldier under the hideous mask of the shadow guard ignored him at all, and remained motionless.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Zhao's face gradually turned cold.

He didn't know what these people meant.

Outcome.

The shadow guard in front of him still didn't move.

As if Zhang Zhao didn't exist at all, no matter how he spoke or acted, he ignored it directly.

A moment later.

Zhang Zhao also felt that it was not interesting, he knew that soldiers like them only recognized the lord and would not pay attention to anyone else.

But.

Now that they have all appeared, their lord is not far away.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Zhao stood in place with his hands behind his back.

As long as Xu Tian appeared, he naturally knew what they were going to do.

Sure enough.

Soon after the appearance of the guards, a large number of troops appeared.

These are all Praetorian Guards, and only the King of Chu deserves to have them.

The Praetorian Guards gradually approached, and Xu Tian rode in a luxury carriage and swayed towards the dock.

However, what Zhang Zhao didn't expect was that the carriage stopped not far away and did not continue to move forward.

Moreover, there was no movement on the carriage after it stopped.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhao understood.

This is what people want to greet themselves.

Zhang Zhao, who had just moved his steps, immediately stopped again.

Because if you go to meet you, you will encounter a difficult choice.

That's a matter of etiquette!

If you go up to greet yourself, will it be according to the same rules as Sun Quan, or according to the general etiquette?

If the other party asks, how should you choose!

Zhang Zhao was a little undecided for a while...

The carriage where Xu Tian was located seemed to be waiting for Zhang Zhao.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Zhao slowly came to the carriage.

"Meet the King of Chu!"

Zhang Zhao didn't hesitate, knelt directly on the ground, and made a big salute towards Xu Tian's carriage!

Etiquette issues like this would not have been the crux of the matter.

The main reason is that the relationship between Jiangdong and Jingzhou now has to make Zhang Zhao extremely careful.

After all.

I am the weak party, and if I ask for someone, I must look like I am begging for someone!

"Zhang Gong, please, you don't have to be so polite!"

In the carriage, Xu Tian's voice came faintly.

But.

Zhang Zhao, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly changed his expression.

He didn't expect that the other party wouldn't even get out of the carriage.

No.

I haven't even lifted the curtains!

This is tantamount to humiliating him in public.

Unlike Wei, Xu Tian's approach was much gentler.

But the more this happened, the more angry Zhang Zhao became.

Because of this, it is more uncomfortable than directly insulting him.

"Multi-...... Thank you, King! ”

Zhang Zhao's chest rose and fell violently, and he worked hard for a long time before he stood up from the ground.

"I don't know...... What advice does Zhang Gong have here? ”

In the carriage, Xu Tian's voice came again.

Zhang Zhao understood that it was impossible for the other party to get out of the car.

Maybe.

The purpose of the other party's coming today is to humiliate him!

With Xu Tianzhi's cleverness, he must have understood the purpose of himself and Sun Quan.

He did this just to make it difficult for him to retreat.

In this way, everything Sun Quan planned will come to naught.

Jiangdong's current situation can no longer tolerate the slightest mistake on his part.

"The old minister obeyed the instructions of King Wu and dedicated 10,000 warships, 10 million money, and more than 200,000 grain and grass to the imperial court!"

Thinking about this, Zhang Zhao felt a lot better.

There is not much psychological burden when it comes to doing things.

But.

What Zhang Zhao didn't know was that his performance just changed some facts.

Xu Tian saw Zhang Zhao's every move clearly through the curtain of the carriage.

The more the other party is like this, the more his inference proves to be completely correct.

"That'...... Thank you very much! ”

When he heard Xu Tian's words, Zhang Zhao was shocked to find that Xu Tian's carriage was slowly turning around.

By the time he could react, the carriage had already left the place.

This time.

Not only Zhang Zhao, but even the servants who carried the supplies showed anger on their faces.

It's not just about simply humiliating them!

Zhang Zhao's fists were clenched tightly, and his eyes were so red that they were almost dripping blood.

But.

Even so, he could only hold back!

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!" Zhang Zhao didn't know how many times he had said this to himself.

The only good news for him was that Xu Tian accepted what they had sent.

In any case, this first step is already out.

As long as he can truly stabilize Xu Tian, even if he dies here now, it doesn't matter!

"Go on!"

Slowly retracting his gaze from the carriage, Zhang Zhao returned to his previous position again.

That's how he insisted until the material was moved.

Because he believed that what they had endured today would one day be returned......
