Chapter 297: Showing the edge
No matter how bold Mrs. Sun was, she was not so bold as to discuss the room surgery with Cao Miao. She could only pretend not to hear Cao Miao's ridicule, led Cao Miao into the official house, sat down the guests, and ordered someone to serve tea, and specially took care not to use green onions, ginger and other things.
The tea came up, and the green tea soup with tea foam looked a little bland, and a little bitter. Mrs. Sun took a sip, then lost interest, put it aside, and smelled the faint fragrance of tea.
Cao Miao took a sip, although it was a little reluctant, but he still drank a few sips in succession before putting down the cup.
"The tea is barely drinkable, and the cups are so bad." Cao Miao was calm and elegant, with a faint sense of superiority. "To drink tea, it is best to use a glass cup, followed by a celadon cup, even if it is a pottery cup, but this lacquer ear cup must not."
Mrs. Sun smiled lightly. "In this regard, Cao Jun is very different from King Lingzun Junyi."
"I said a long time ago, he is him, I am me."
"Cao Jun is so calm, it seems that he has long known about Ling Zun's seal?" Mrs. Sun twisted her fingers, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Cao Miao was shocked, but her face was silent, but she showed a shallow smile. He never took Mrs. Sun lightly, but he didn't expect her attack to be so direct, and he didn't even have any foreplay.
"Guess."
"Guess?" Mrs. Sun sneered. "I'll listen to you if you guess one more."
"Okay." Cao Miao blurted out without thinking. "If nothing else, Madame will have a meal in one hour, with wine and meat."
Mrs. Sun stared at Cao Miao intently, pursing her lips tightly, lest she couldn't control her emotions and spit fragrantly.
"In five hours, Madame will untie her clothes, maybe ......" Cao Miao glanced at Mrs. Sun, and the corners of her mouth were full of smiles. Maybe take a shower and go to bed. No, you're likely to toss and turn for half the night and fall asleep until dawn. ”
Mrs. Sun's face changed slightly. Then he sneered: "Cao Jun is worthy of being an immortal cultivator, can you even guess this?" Or did you put eyes and ears around me? I'll look it up later. ”
Cao Miao laughed "poof". "That's right, Madame's surroundings are my eyes and ears. If you are ruthless and kill all the twelve female guards, you will not be wronged more than half. He looked at the two maidservants standing upright behind Madame Sun. Guess which of the two of them is my eyes and ears? ”
Mrs. Sun rolled her eyes and smiled again. "Cao Miao is scheming, in a word, he wants me to cut off my siblings."
"I'm ashamed to let Madame find out." Cao Miao laughed, raised the teacup, signaled to Mrs. Sun, and took a shallow sip of tea.
"These little things are not interesting, guess the big things." Mrs. Sun also raised her teacup to signal. "I always heard Lu Ban say that you are smart, and today also opened my eyes and saw Cao Jun's wisdom."
"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Cao Miao nodded unashamedly, put down the teacup, crossed her hands, and held them in front of her abdomen. "Within 60 years, the world will be unified. Great Wei first destroyed Shu, and then destroyed Wu, but the external troubles are easy to eliminate, and the internal worries are difficult to solve. ”
Mrs. Sun frowned, stared at Cao Miao for a long time, and then said, "Sixty years is too long, why don't Cao Jun guess what will happen this year." ”
Cao Miao smacked her lips and looked embarrassed. "The unpredictable prophet is either very short or long, and it is the most difficult to guess whether it is short or not."
"Didn't you guess Ling Zun Xi Feng Junyi just now? This happened just over a month ago. ”
"I can guess this because there was a precursor before, but it was delayed later."
"Then you can guess that there was a precursor before, something that has not yet happened."
Cao Miao scratched her head and thought for a while. "Zhuge Liang will send someone to bargain with King Wu on the condition of recognizing King Wu as emperor, in exchange for King Wu attacking Hefei and taking advantage of his fire."
"Chestnut in the fire?"
"Well, it means that King Wu is married to others, and he sits back and enjoys his success. In other words, King Wu is a tiger, and he is a fox with the power of a fake tiger. ”
Mrs. Sun's eyes flashed slightly, and her expression became solemn. "What are the signs?"
"One is the general trend, and the other is that Zhuge Liang is born like this."
Mrs. Sun raised her glass again. "Please explain more about it."
Cao Miao raised his glass and returned the salute. This is exactly the result he needs, so that Mrs. Sun can turn her attention to Xishu and Zhuge Liang, so that he can have a chance to borrow his strength. As the head of the intelligence organization of the Wu State, Mrs. Sun must have had a lot of battles with Zhuge Liang, and there are fewer victories and more defeats - in this era, there are really not many people who can win Zhuge Liang. At the important moment when Sun Quan was about to ascend the throne and intended to win the world, Mrs. Sun felt even more pressure.
She needed a right-hand man, an assistant who could be under her control.
He was the best choice.
He mentioned two people before: Lu Xun and Zhou Yi. But instead of giving her a choice, it leaves her without a choice. Lu Xun, as a heavy general of Wu State, could not listen to her command. Zhou Yi, as the Taishou of Poyang, lured Cao Xiu to be fooled, and made great contributions, so he must be added to the rank and knight, and it is impossible to stoop to relieve the troubles of the camp.
He preset a range, and within the range he preset, she couldn't find a suitable candidate, so she could only turn her gaze to him.
This is a kind of argumentative technique, but also a kind of psychological suggestion, inducing the other party to choose within the options they delineate, intentionally or unintentionally ignoring the other options, so as to get the result they need.
He had tested Mrs. Sun's psychology before, and knew who Mrs. Sun's most feared opponent was in her subconscious, and now it was time to play a role.
Mrs. Sun's eyes changed slightly, although she did not lose her temper, but in Cao Miao's eyes, she was no different from her gaffe. At this moment, her psychological defense line has been defeated, and she has no power to resist, so she can only let Cao Miao slaughter.
Cao Miao took another sip of tea, letting the fear slowly ferment in Mrs. Sun's heart, and then she spoke again and led back to the topic.
"Madame, do you remember Yinbo?"
Mrs. Sun's eyes shrank. "Naturally remember. Shortly after his death, his bones were not cold. ”
"That lady should remember the rumors in March and April last year, the one related to my father."
"I remember that Cao Jun once said at that time that the mastermind behind Yinbo was probably Zhuge Liang, but there was no tangible evidence, it was all speculation."
"There is still no evidence." Cao Miao hesitated for a moment, then smiled again: "I'm just guessing, Madam doesn't have to take it seriously." As I've said, this kind of guess that it will not be long or short is the most accurate. Forget it, let's talk about something else. Madame, can I ask you for your archery? ”
"It's okay, it's just idle talk anyway, you talk about the general trend in your eyes first. I think it's likely that it's my Da Wu who dominates the world. ”
"Poof!" Cao Miao laughed out loud, and then covered up without sincerity: "What Madame said is not impossible. Although King Wu attacked Hefei several times without gaining an inch of land, maybe Prince Wu could be better. I heard that he has a deep heart for civil and military affairs, and he has a high reputation. ”
Mrs. Sun's face sank.
