Chapter 816 Assassin
Don't care about him?
Looking at the assassin approaching quickly, Pan Zhang was very confused at this moment. It was not that Pan Zhang was worried about Sun Quan's safety. After all, Sun Quan had been in Xuzhou for a month and allowed others to assassinate him. He had never seen any despicable means before, and was afraid that this would come out openly? Compared to Sun Quan, Pan Zhang should probably be more worried about his own safety.
So, what Pan Zhang really struggled with was what he should do. He really let go and ignore it. But as a minister, this seems unreasonable, right? Then what about taking action? Are you not disobeying orders in person?
Slow down! Let me think carefully!
Just as Pan Zhang was so anxious that he was sweating, the next second of the incident saved him.
About dozens of people rushed out of the surroundings without warning, and there were actually assassins?!
Seeing this, Pan Zhang was really surprised and happy. What was shocked was that so many people could assassinate Sun Quan in Jianye City, there were probably not a few who lost their heads tonight. What was happy was that Pan Zhang finally didn't have to worry anymore, and just caught two assassins and fought each other. He neither stood by nor watched, but also left "toys" for Sun Quan, with the best of both worlds.
"Master, be careful!" Pan Zhang shouted loudly, and was about to rush forward with a knife, but the next moment, he was stunned again.
The dozen people who appeared later did not attack the carriage, but rushed towards an assassin on the other end.
"What are you yelling? Didn't you tell me to ignore it and go to the palace?" Sun Quan kicked Pan Zhang angrily through the curtain.
“Yes, yes.”
Pan Zhang sat down with a slight start, poked his head into the carriage, and said with a flattering smile.
"The lord really predicts things like a god."
"Drive well and flatter you in front of you, not me." Sun Quan sent Pan Zhang back, turned the carriage and headed towards the palace.
Zhuge Liang, who was standing beside him, opened the curtains with his hands, watched the battle there through the gap, and said,
"Those who are not lords, are they?"
"How can I see it?" Sun Quan asked.
"If it were the lord, it would have been protected from the beginning to the end. General Pan would have noticed it long ago and would not have been nervous at the beginning." Zhuge Liang replied, "Of course, it is not ruled out that the lord had known that someone would assassinate and prepared in advance, but since the time and location of the assassination can be determined, how could the assassination happen?"
"Not bad." Sun Quan nodded in praise. Zhuge Liang was really smart. "Then tell me who assassinated me?"
Zhuge Liang glanced at Sun Quan and said,
"It was just a guess, but the lord's reaction was that the person who assassinated must be Zhou Yu's widow and Miss Qiao's family."
No one knew about Sun Quan’s return this time. The only one he had been to was Zhou Yu’s mourning hall. It can be inferred that the assassin had a suspicion in the Zhou family.
Assassination alone, regardless of life and death, without any preparation, must be someone with deep hatred.
In addition, someone stopped her in time, which means that the Assassin's family had known that she had similar ideas and was always on guard. She didn't want her to do stupid things, nor did she want her to implicate the family.
The above are all Zhuge Liang's analysis, and what Zhuge Liang confirmed this inference was Sun Quan's behavior.
Zhou Yu is dead, and public opinion is like this. Sun Quan is not good at treating Xiao Qiao. But once the identity of the assassin is exposed, it is unreasonable to not deal with it. So I just changed my mind and just pretend that this matter had never happened. It was entirely someone else's housework.
"That's right." Sun Quan nodded. There was no need to hide Sun Quan from a smart person like Zhuge Liang. He was so sure that he was just because he used it once and let me think twice.
"I'm still a little confused about something. Please help me analyze it." Sun Quan said suddenly.
"Please speak with King Wu." Zhuge Liang did not shirk responsibility at all.
"As a matter of saying that if Zhou Yu had just died, Xiao Qiao thought it was me who killed him, then she came and fought with me. I understand. But people have been dead for so long, should they calm down long ago? Even if they want to take revenge, they should think carefully before taking action, right?" Sun Quan said in confusion. Who is Sun Quan? Is he injured by someone casually?
"It's a test." Zhuge Liang replied.
Sun Quan: "Test?"
Zhuge Liang: "That's right. Assassination seems reckless, but if it's really reckless, why should I change my clothes? The King of Wu is so smart that I can't guess who she is. Miss Qiao should just want to see how the King of Wu will treat her. Now, she has got the answer."
Sun Quan touched his chin,
"It makes sense. Then the consequences of this answer are good or bad?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said,
"I don't know this Miss Qiao family, so I can't judge. But seeing that she can do such a risky thing and dare to bet on her life, at least it means that this woman is very extreme and loves her husband deeply."
Sun Quan narrowed his eyes and whispered,
"In other words, it would not be an exaggeration to her in the future even if she does something more exaggerated?"
"The most affectionate and nature depends on whether this matter has anything to do with the lord in her heart." Zhuge Liang said.
????????
At the same time, on the other side, the assassin just now had been subdued and pulled into an alley, and there were already people waiting for her.
"Have you ever thought that doing so might make the entire family gobroken!" Da Qiao, who was waiting here, pulled off the mask from Xiao Qiao's face and said in a deep voice.
Xiao Qiao raised her eyebrows, her face full of madness and rebelliousness,
"If I said I thought about it, I still did it. Do you want to hit me?"
"Sister." Da Qiao sighed, "I know you are sad, but now, you should let it go. If the death of the Grand Commander is really related to him, why don't he kill you at your fingertips, cleanly and avoid future troubles. He can even take care of your life, so how can he kill your heart and conscience?"
"Okay, sister, I understand what you said. After this, I have believed him by 70% and will not do stupid things again in the future." Xiao Qiao said suddenly, as if he had changed his own person.
Da Qiao frowned slightly,
"Did you really figure it out?"
She knew her sister, and Xiao Qiao belonged to the kind of person with a particularly paranoid personality. She didn't even listen to her father's words, let alone her, an alien sister.
"I figured it out, I'm not stupid. Besides, even if I don't figure it out, you don't help me. What can I do alone?" Xiao Qiao sneered.
"We don't help you, we are just helping you." Da Qiao sighed inwardly. She really couldn't do anything to Xiao Qiao. I hope she really figured it out.
????????
On the carriage,
The reason why Sun Quan suddenly decided to go to the palace was that Xiao Qiao's appearance was just an opportunity. The real reason was that Sun Quan began to reflect on himself.
Once upon a time, Sun Quan never took the Tao heart in his body to heart. Until now, Sun Quan finally discovered how wonderful Shi Zimiao’s move was!
When a person gradually loses interest in anything, will the so-called ambition still take it seriously?
What Shi Zimiao was worried about was that Sun Quan wanted to be the emperor, but in fact, Sun Quan never had much thought about that position, but this did not mean that Sun Quan did not want to do anything for this era.
Therefore, in order to prevent his thoughts from becoming increasingly far away from the secular world, Sun Quan decided to set goals and plans for himself and use plans to motivate himself.
“Five-year plan?”
"Well, that's right, I want you to draft the first five-year plan in Jiangdong, focusing on the direction of agricultural development. The specific measures I need to implement, every year, I have to see real results!" Sun Quan told Zhuge Liang.
