Chapter 268: True and False

Shi Sha did what he said, sent Cao Miao and others to the lake island by boat, threw down a few marching tents, and left.

Cao Miao stood among the weeds, looked around, and sighed.

Offending a woman is really serious, this is Chi Guoguo's revenge. In such an open place, surrounded by water, you can imagine the weight of the humidity. Camping and sleeping all night, if you don't freeze to death, you have to freeze half-stiff. If you stay for a few days in a row, it's no wonder if you don't get sick.

Soon after, Shi Sha ordered someone to send Cao Miao's luggage, a few boxes, but not bad.

Cao Miao checked back and forth and decided to set up camp first. He ordered Liu Chen and others to cut the dry weeds, spread a thick layer on the ground near the miscellaneous trees, and then set up a tent on it. Open the box, take out the brocade inside, and use the miscellaneous trees as a bracket to surround it as a barrier against the wind.

The lake is empty, and the wind is strong at night, carrying a heavy humidity, which will cause the body temperature to lose quickly. Blocking the wind can play a certain role in heat preservation.

Although Nishiki is valuable, it is not worth anything. He didn't want to suffer from rheumatism because of the ordeal of the past few days.

Cao Miao was worried that Mrs. Sun would deliberately toss him and deduct his food, so she ordered Liu Chen to surround a shallow weir by the water, and sprinkled some snacks in it to see if she could get a few fish in case of emergency.

He told Liu Chen and others that if you are mentally prepared, you may have to endure hardships for a few days. But don't worry, at most three days, on Chinese New Year's Eve, if the Wu people don't come to invite us to the banquet, we will kill them and let them have a bad year.

Seeing that Cao Miao was full of confidence, Liu Chen and the others also calmed down a lot, patted their bulging stomachs and said, I have raised some fat in the past few days, and it is no problem to hold on for three or five days. It's rare to be quiet, and if you have time, you might as well teach us the ability to save lives with both hands. We also want to be like Han Duwei (Han Dong) and use the long knife in our hands to cut a piece of the future.

Cao Miao happily agreed.

——

When it was getting dark, Sun Luban came to the continent and looked at the humble camp with a depressed expression.

"Princess?" Cao Miao hesitated, put down the work in his hand, greeted him, and patted the grass clippings off his body.

Sun Luban's eyes dodged, not daring to look at Cao Miao's hopeful eyes. "You...... You may have to be here for a few days. ”

Cao Miao let out an "oh", and her disappointment was palpable. He was silent for a moment, looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, turned around, and walked back silently. When Sun Luban saw this scene, he felt like he had been slapped in the face, and his face was hot and painful.

She gritted her teeth and shouted, "Are you a spy of the Wei State?" ”

Cao Miao raised his hand without looking back. "I think I'm clever, I'm to blame, and I can't blame anyone. Princess, please come back. For the sake of their own safety, it's better not to see each other again in the future, so as not to make mistakes again and again. ”

Sun Luban bit his lip and was so angry that his face was flushed. Cao Miao was disappointed in her and didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore. This can't complain about Cao Miao, because she has no strength and can't protect Cao Miao. Aunt Mrs. Sun is just that, Lu Yi also eats inside and out, deliberately deceiving, such important news is not notified to her in advance, so that she loses face in front of Cao Miao, and she has no confidence to compete with Mrs. Sun.

If Cao Miao hadn't seen the clues, she might still be in the dark now.

Sun Luban turned around hatefully, boarded the boat leaning on the edge of the continent, entered the cabin, sat heavily in front of Mrs. Sun, panting, like an angry bull, and said loudly: "The person belongs to you, are you satisfied?" ”

Mrs. Sun raised her eyelids slightly, glanced at her, laughed, poured a glass of water, and pushed it over.

"You like him?"

Sun Luban glared at Mrs. Sun and picked up the water. Before Mrs. Sun could remind her that the water was hot, she had already drunk it all, and her tears came out. She clutched her chest in one hand and the cup in the other, and the grip became tighter and tighter. With a "snap", the pottery cup was crushed by her, piercing her hand, and blood dripped.

Madame Sun frowned and called for someone to come in and bandage her. Sun Luban raised his hand and said hatefully: "No." I have suffered my own humiliation, and I don't want you to be pitied. But don't be too happy too soon, you won't be able to catch those assassins, how you eat now, how you will vomit in the future. ”

"What to eat and spit out?" Madame Sun frowned.

Sun Luban ignored her, got up and left, and the door slammed. A servant girl heard the sound and came to check, but she kicked her to the ground, and the pain was so painful that she couldn't get up for a long time.

Mrs. Sun let out a long sigh and shook her head helplessly. She raised her head, looked through the window, and looked at Cao Miao, who was preparing the camp with her attendants, her eyes became cold, but the corners of her mouth provoked a light smile. She sat for a while, got up and walked out of the cabin, walked slowly up the continent, and slowly walked towards Cao Miao.

Standing ten steps away from Cao Miao, she looked at Cao Miao quietly without saying a word.

Cao Miao glanced back at her, looking a little hesitant. After a while, he walked over and bowed his hand.

"What advice does Madame have?"

"Very skilled." Mrs. Sun said lightly: "As a prince, will you still do this?" ”

Cao Miao smiled bitterly. "My prince has a bad life, he lost his mother when he was young, and he has no father. Now that he is in a foreign country, he has made mistakes again and again, it is better to be in Yongqiu, at least he has his own yard to live in. ”

Mrs. Sun was a little embarrassed. "Although my Da Wu has good points, he does not allow spies to be presumptuous."

Cao Miao pondered for a moment, slowly raised her head, and looked directly into Mrs. Sun's eyes. "Madame, if you really think I'm a spy, why don't you just put me in prison and arrange for me on this continent? Don't say I'm from the Central Plains and I'm not good at swimming, so it's safe to stay here. ”

Mrs. Sun's eyes flashed slightly. "Then tell me, why am I keeping you here?"

"If my guess is correct, Madame has already released the wind at this moment, hoping that those Wei spies lurking in Wuchang will move like moths to a fire and come straight to this sandbar. At that time, the lady will wait for her work and catch them all. Whether or not I am a spy or not, and who dies is not Madame's concern, is it? ”

Mrs. Sun smiled appreciatively. "You're really smart. So tell me, will they come? ”

"I don't know who they are, I don't know their style of action, how do I know what they're going to do?"

"What if you're in charge of this operation?"

Cao Miao looked at Mrs. Sun for a moment and couldn't help laughing. "Did Madame lure me into the urn and confess the crime, or did she ask me for a plan?"

"Is there a difference?"

"It doesn't make much difference." Cao Miao looked around and laughed a few times. "Whether Madame lured me into the urn, confessed to the crime, or asked me for advice, it can only mean one thing: you are not as powerful as you think." He turned to look at Mrs. Sun, and said word by word: "You can lie to the princess, but you can't fool me." ”

Mrs. Sun's face did not change. "Really?"

"Yes, the New Year is coming, Wuchang is overcrowded, but you have deployed hundreds of troublesome soldiers here, waiting for a few Wei assassins who may or may not come. Do you think this is a smart move? ”

For the first time, Mrs. Sun's eyes wavered, and a hint of unease flashed.
