Zhu Xun, who was already dead, gradually turned over, and two guards were checking his whole body.

"Looks like this is the second gift!"

Xu Tian looked at Zhang Tao, who slowly came to his side, and raised his eyebrows and said.

"Does the king like it?"

The corners of Zhang Tao's mouth outlined a trace of arc.

At this moment, the guard who was examining the corpse suddenly shouted.

"There's a discovery!"

Except for Xu Tian and Zhang Tao, the rest of the people surrounded them one after another.

Pang Tong, Shen Du, Lu Tianba and the others all squinted their eyes and looked at the place where the guards pointed their fingers.

There, is the back of Zhu Xun's head, and it is also the most vulnerable place in the human body.

At first glance, there is nothing out of the ordinary.

It's just that when the guard gently pulled out a thin needle on it, everyone's faces changed instantly.

Pang Tong was the first to react, he suddenly looked back at Zhang Tao beside Xu Tian, his eyes flashing and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Awesome!"

Shen Du looked at the thin needle in the guard's hand very carefully, and sighed in admiration.

"Be careful, it's poisonous!"

After reminding the guards, the three of them also came to Xu Tian's side.

"Such a poisonous needle requires a special launcher!"

Pang Tong touched his chin and said faintly.

Zhang Tao didn't hide anything, and took out a square wooden box from his arms.

If you look closely, there is a row of fine poison needles in the gap of the wooden box.

As soon as Zhang Tao took out this thing, except for Xu Tian, everyone's faces changed drastically and they took a step back.

"Don't worry, these poisonous needles won't appear on your body!"

Obviously, everyone didn't believe Zhang Tao's words.

Even when he came to Xu Tian again, he was standing far away from Zhang Tao.

Zhang Tao smiled bitterly, he knew that this would be the result.

"Looks like we've all underestimated our judge!"

Lu Tianba glanced at the wooden box in Zhang Tao's hand very jealously.

In fact, he wanted to keep Xu Tian away from him immediately.

But looking at it, Xu Tian was not worried about what Zhang Tao would do.

"Okay, let's not talk about the rest, at least Zhang Tao has made a great contribution today, and he should be rewarded!"

Xu Tian saw that the situation was almost over, so he patted Zhang Tao's shoulder and said with a smile.

"This is the duty of the next generation, and there is no need for the king's reward.

If the king has to reward him, he will dare to ask the king to hand over all the affairs of the palace to the commander! ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Du immediately stopped, and he said with a glare.

"Zhang Tao! Are you asking for a reward, or are you fighting the autumn wind?

Is there a man like you? Why don't you say that you will go straight to the emperor! ”

Shen Du's anger was easy to understand, after all, he was in charge of these things.

This Zhang Tao wants to stick a horizontal stick, which will of course provoke his resistance.

What's more, people like Zhang Tao have never seen the Lord of rabbits and eagles.

Who knows what he wants the privileges of the palace and what he wants to do.

Of course, Pang Tong and Lu Tianba did not hesitate, and stood on Shen Du's side.

It's not just that they have a good relationship, but more importantly, they don't like Zhang Tao at all.

Xu Tian knew what everyone thought.

The characters of the Legalists, every time they appear, are basically like this.

The people of this era hate people like them the most.

If it sounds good, it is called seeking truth from facts, but if it is not good, it is the exhaustion of the organs and the mercenary scheme.

This is characteristic of this era, and they care more about face and fame than material things.

Death by starvation and freezing is a small matter, but a loss of festival is a big matter!

This is also the reason why even beggars will despise those merchants who are extremely noble in later generations.

"I'll think about it!"

Xu Tian's salty words ended their dispute.

"Now that the killer has been found, what should I do next, what do you think?"

When it came to business, everyone immediately abandoned what had just happened and quickly entered the state.

"I think this is an opportunity for us, an opportunity to send troops to Soochow!"

Pang Tong, as always, took the lead in speaking and said to Xu Tian.

"Tell me about it!"

"That's right, I know that the king was originally going to fight Cao Pi!

But at the moment, sending troops to Soochow is our best opportunity.

First, with Zhuge Jin and his failed plan this time, we can crusade against him in the name of the Son of Heaven!

Blatantly provoked and sent someone to assassinate the emperor, this reason is too sufficient!

This is our political advantage, because we stand for justice!

Second, Liu Bei was preparing to start a war with Cao Pi at this moment.

Judging by the latest military reports, the Han army is ready to go.

At the latest, before the beginning of spring next year, I think war will break out.

It's also the best opportunity for us.

Because the Cao and Liu families fought, we have no worries.

This is the advantage of our situation!

This third is that Sun Quan has just returned from a battle with Cao's army on the Hefei front.

This is the time when their strength is weak, and we have been recuperating from illness and truce!

Waiting for work with ease is our advantage in strength.

With these three articles, sending troops to Soochow will inevitably return with a great victory! ”

Pang Tong gushed out his true thoughts.

The excitement in his tone made Shen Du on the side a little enthusiastic.

"Good!" Xu Tian nodded slowly, and then looked at Shen Du.

It's his habit, and every time there's a big decision, he always lets these incredibly smart guys say it first.

Only by understanding all their ideas from the side can we have the opportunity to find the most correct way from them.

Xu Tian's habit is also the reason why Pang Tong and these people follow him with all their hearts.

Seeing Xu Tian looking at him, Shen Du cleared his throat and groaned for a moment.

"I think the advisor has a point, and it's very feasible.

However, there are a few issues that I think are worth considering!

First of all, Jiangdong is accustomed to water warfare, and they are known as the world's first water division, and they are not empty words.

I think the king understands this very well! ”

"That's right! There is no doubt about this, the battle of Chibi back then, I still remember it vividly! ”

Xu Tian nodded and agreed with Shen Du's statement.

Seeing that everyone was deep in thought, Shen Du continued to speak.

"There are not many sailors in our country, and the newly trained sailors have very limited combat effectiveness.

If you confront Soochow head-on, there is still a big risk.

What's more, Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang are brothers.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if Zhuge Liang doesn't think about family affection, there is still Liu Bei.

He will not understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, so the movement of the Han army is also an uncertain factor.

The last point, which is our rear, I still maintain my point of view.

The emperor staying here will do more harm than good to us! ”
