Everyone was speechless and looked at each other.

They all held their breath, hoping that Ding Feng could defeat Cao Miao and win back some face, but no one expected Cao Miao to admit defeat directly.

What kind of tactics is this?

Sun Quan couldn't hold back either, and said loudly: "Fellow villager, why do you leave without a fight? ”

Everyone heard Sun Quan's ridicule, and they all laughed in unison, expressing that the monarch and the ministers were of the same heart and hatred.

Cao Miao's face did not change, and said lightly: "I heard that the king is good at shooting tigers, dare to ask the king, can you hit every shot?" ”

Sun Quan's eyes flashed, he understood what Cao Miao meant, and while secretly breathing a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but be annoyed. You compete in martial arts, saying that I am good at shooting tigers, what do you do?

Without waiting for Sun Quan to answer, Cao Miao said to himself: "Although I am arrogant, I am not arrogant enough to challenge the heroes of Jiangdong to the point where I must win completely. General Ding walks like a tiger, at first glance, he is a battle-hardened warrior, a real tiger minister, not a talker who can only show off his lips. I might be able to beat him, but it will take a lot of stamina. In that case, why don't I admit defeat and save some physical strength to teach those weak chickens a lesson? ”

He smiled and turned to look at Ding Feng. "If General Ding can represent all the warriors of the Wu Kingdom, I am willing to go all out and fight it out. It's a pity that I'm afraid not everyone is willing to let General Ding have such an honor. ”

Although Ding Feng didn't speak, his eyes were dark. Cao Miao's words went to his heart, no matter how good his martial arts were, the people who could afford him were still very limited. After more than ten years of fighting on the battlefield, he could only sit in the farthest place, watching those young children of the family talk loudly.

If it weren't for Cao Miao's appearance, he wouldn't even have a chance to speak today.

The crowd looked different, but they did not stand up and speak.

Cao Miao laughed loudly. "The warriors who defended the country against humiliation, but they did not get the respect they deserved, so they could only sit aside and watch a group of Confucian scholars talk about it. Wu Guo wants to dominate the world, but it is whimsical. I advise you, if you want to gain the respect of others, you must first weigh whether you have such strength. Otherwise, it is better to keep your mouth shut and speak less, so as not to bring shame on yourself. ”

"You ......" Gu Tan sneered, and was about to speak, but found that Cao Miao looked at him, and he was immediately dumbfounded.

Cao Miao sneered, stretched out his hand to point at Gu Tan, and hooked his fingers. "If you have something to say, you might as well come closer. Standing so far away, are you afraid that I will be blown away by your breath? Rest assured, I'm not that weak yet. ”

Gu Tan gritted his teeth and returned to his seat angrily. "The courage of the horseman, what a way, I don't bother to reason with you."

"Okay, I'm the brave of the horseman, you are wise and brave, okay?" Cao Miao laughed loudly, her voice was like a bell, and her attitude was arrogant, revealing her disdain for Gu Tan, and even more contempt for Wu Guojun's ministers.

Just when someone was not angry and wanted to get up and argue, he smiled, turned to Gu Yong, and shouted: "Dare to ask Prime Minister Gu, you open your mouth to be humble and close your mouth to be courteous, do you know where this humble etiquette comes from?" You studied under Chen Liucai Bojiao, you can know that Cai Bojiao's daughter has been in exile in the Xiongnu for 12 years, and she is the concubine of the barbarians, where is the dignity and humility, and where is the etiquette? ”

He turned and looked around. "All the gentlemen are all handsome men who know honor and disgrace and have integrity, but it is a pity that when King Wu was enthroned, your honor and disgrace were not worth a penny. Seeing that you are complacent, thinking about what officials you can add and what you can do, I feel blush. As a minister, don't you think about serving the country and the people, but only think about your own 10,000 acres of fertile land, don't you feel ashamed? ”

He turned to Gu Yong again. "Why do you say that I am Cao, there are better examples before my Cao. Where is the Runan Yuan clan of the fourth and third dukes? Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang brothers met each other, who was behind them, don't you know? Where is the Wei County Judge, where is the Yingchuan Guo Clan, under the nest, there are no eggs. Seeing small profits and forgetting the righteousness, covering your ears and stealing the bell, deceiving yourself, you are talking about people like you......"

"Presumptuous!" There was a loud shout from outside the cabin door, and Mrs. Sun, who was covered with frost, appeared at the cabin door. "Get out! On the last festival, I have a happy gathering of Wu monarchs and ministers, when will it be your turn to make a big speech? ”

Cao Miao was stunned for a second and walked out of the cabin in a gray manner.

Mrs. Sun didn't look at the ministers in the cabin and saluted Sun Quan. "The ministers are not strictly guarded, please ask the king to condemn him."

Sun Quan looked at Gu Yong, whose face was as usual, but his eyes were a little flustered, and waved his hand. "It doesn't matter, what's there to worry about with a patient. The governor bothered, guarded more tightly, and didn't let him come out to make trouble. ”

Mrs. Sun bowed down to receive the order and withdrew.

Sun Quan looked at everyone and sighed again. "It's a pity that Yu Zhongxiang is not here, otherwise how can he be allowed to be presumptuous." Speaking of Yu Flip, his mood was a little low, and he turned around and asked Sun Deng. "Zigao, remind me tomorrow and summon Yu Zhongxiang back to the court."

Sun Deng was overjoyed and bowed down to receive the order.

Gu Yong didn't say a word and silently returned to his seat.

——

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Sun glared at Cao Miao fiercely, raised her hand, and made a gesture to fight.

Cao Miao hurriedly begged for mercy. "I don't want to either, isn't this a rush, can't I hold it?"

"You...... "Mrs. Sun hates iron and steel." Lack of success, more than failure. ”

"You can't say that." Cao Miao smiled. "If I make sense, I won't be able to. What do you think, how inappropriate is it for King Wu to take Wei as his confidant? I'm a patient anyway, you can say whatever you want, you take what you need, and those who have a heart will naturally understand, and those who pretend to be deaf and dumb continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb. As for myself, I will not have no way out, and I will not be able to explain in the future. ”

"You still want to go back?"

"Of course I want to go back. I was framed and excluded by the family, and I was not treasonous. ”

Mrs. Sun smacked her lips, her eyes flickering. "You mentioned the Yuan brothers just now, and I suddenly remembered a rumor, you may have heard it."

Cao Miao looked at Mrs. Sun and dismissed.

"Have you ever met Emperor Wei?"

"Yes."

"Like you Cao children?" Mrs. Sun stretched out her hand to signal Cao Miao to calm down. "I have seen the children of the Yuan family, whether it is appearance or height, there is still a big difference between them and your Cao children."

Cao Miao had a gloomy face and didn't say a word. He has seen Cao Ei, strictly speaking, Cao Ei's height is medium to upper, and he is not abrupt among the Cao family's children, as for appearance, his biological mother Mrs. Zhen's genes are also strong enough, and Cao Ei looks more like the Zhen family.

Mrs. Sun lowered her voice. "If, I mean, if that rumor is true, can you go back?"

Cao Miao blinked her eyes and said hatefully: "If the rumors are true, I have to go back, and I can't let outsiders usurp my Cao family." ”

"What can you do in your father's and son's situation?" Mrs. Sun is kind and seductive. "In my opinion, you might as well stay in our Dawu, Princess Shang, and help Dahu take charge of the trouble-relieving camp. In the future, when Great Wu rules the world, you will be the great sect of the Cao family, a marquis or even a king, wouldn't it be better? ”

Cao Miao was silent for a long time, with a hint of struggle, and said, "Let's wait for King Wu to restrain Gu Yong and those people." ”

Mrs. Sun raised her hand and patted Cao Miao on the shoulder. "You're right, whether it's Wu or Wei, they all have a common enemy. Whether or not they can be restrained, rather than controlled by them, is the key to survival. Therefore, you and I should work together to help the difficult times. ”
