Huiji is mountainous, and most of the roads follow the river valley. Nanping is the place where several major tributaries converge into the Minjiang River, the transportation is convenient, the population is relatively large, and the county is set up in the early years of Jian'an. Even so, the scale of Nanping County is not large, that is, it is just a township gathering, and the conditions are certainly not much better. Even compared with Jian'an County, which is slightly north of the southern capital, it is much inferior.

Cao Miao chose to wait here, of course, not because she was lazy, but because it was convenient. Mrs. Sun wants to kill Jiang Wei, he wants to kill Sima Shi, of course, he has to pick a place with few people to do it.

Cao Miao came with Lu Hong and two hundred trouble-relieving soldiers.

Whether it is monitoring or testing, Mrs. Sun has only one request, so that Jiang Wei will not come back.

Lu Hong is Mrs. Sun's confidant, so he naturally knows about Cao Miao and Mrs. Sun. She never expressed her attitude, and she was the same as before, neither humble nor arrogant, diligent in her work, and faithfully carried out Mrs. Sun's orders.

Cao Miao asked her to arrange some people to go upstream to inquire about the news and report every day.

Two days later, news came from the direction of Shaowu that Sun Luban led his troops across Wuyi Mountain and arrived at Shaowu. If nothing else, you can reach Nanping County in five days by going down the river.

Almost at the same time, news also came from the direction of Jian'an that Jiang Wei escorted the supplies to Jian'an County and would arrive in Nanping three days later.

Sima Shi has no news yet, so he doesn't know where he has gone.

Cao Miao said to Lu Hong, you stay here, Jiang Wei is here, you let him wait, treat him well, and wait for the princess to come and receive the supplies. After the handover is completed, if Jiang Wei wants to leave, don't stop him. If he refuses to go, and waits for me, you let him wait.

As for the princess, I wrote her a letter? Just give it to her when the time comes.

Lu Hong didn't say anything? took Cao Miao's letter and nodded in agreement.

Cao Miao set off with Ah Hu and two female guards? Leaving Nanping? Tracing the water, go straight to Jian'an County. Have a document issued by Mrs. Sun? He could have stayed at the inn and had a smooth journey? But he chose camping? Even through Guanjin, the female guard came forward, leaving no traces of herself.

Halfway through, he saw Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei is on the shore, and Cao Miao is in the boat? Glanced at it from afar. Jiang Wei didn't pay attention to Cao Miao? Rush by. Cao Miao took a good time to observe carefully, and memorized Jiang Wei's manpower and equipment one by one.

After arriving in Jian'an, Cao Miao got in touch with the people arranged by Lu Hong, learned that Sima Shi had not yet arrived, and continued to travel north. The accompanying female guard was a little uneasy? But he didn't dare to stop it, so he had to find a way to send the news back? Inform Lu Hong.

At Gaizhuyi, which was still a day's journey away from Jianping, Cao Miao met Sima Shi and his party.

Seeing Cao Miao acting alone with Ah Hu and the two female guards of the Annoying Battalion? Sima Shi and Xiahou Hui were all surprised, and Cao Su's eyes were even more strange? I've taken a pair? Your awesome look.

Cao Miao looked back with contempt. "What? Conscience found, will the merit atone? ”

Cao Su was very hurt, rolled his eyes, and quietly pointed in the direction of the carriage with his finger. "Yuanrong's request, I can't refuse."

Cao Miao waved his hand. "I have something to discuss with you. In front of you, there is a group of Shu Han people, the leader is called Jiang Wei, you know? ”

"Yes, we've been following us all the way." Cao Su suddenly became energetic. "You want to him?"

"Can you handle him?"

Cao Su grinned. "You look down on me?"

"Hmm."

Cao Su's face suddenly changed and he jumped up.

Cao Miao disagreed, and said unhurriedly: "Jiang Wei is a person that Zhuge Liang admires, and the more than 100 people he leads may be the most elite tiger infantry in Shu Han. I met on the road, and at a glance, no worse than your men. When it comes to ordnance, it's not even what you can imagine. If nothing else, it should be a divine sword, a collar of fine armor, and a repeating crossbow, as for what other weapons, I don't know very well. ”

Before Cao Miao finished speaking, Cao Su was instigated.

He had heard of the tiger infantry and knew that it was the most elite foot soldier of Shu Han, and many of them were barbarians from the southern county of Yizhou, and what they were best at was mountain warfare. Coupled with Shu Han's sophisticated equipment, it can be said that from the number of people to the equipment, to the combat effectiveness, everything overwhelms him.

"The weather here is really stuffy, it's October, and I'm still sweating." Cao Su touched the cold sweat on his forehead and said with emotion.

"You know each other." Cao Miao patted Cao Su's shoulder and said with relief. He is not afraid of Cao Su's instigation, but he is afraid that Cao Su is fearless. Only the ignorant will be fearless, and the truly brave will be afraid. "The environment here is similar to that in the south of Yizhou, which is suitable for tiger soldiers. Heaven and earth, you don't occupy the same. ”

Cao Su laughed dryly twice, dragging out his voice. "What then?"

"Use your brain." Cao Miao walked towards Sima Shi. Sima Shi and Xiahou Hui had already gotten out of the car and were waiting by the car. Seeing Cao Miao coming over, Sima Shi grinned and bowed his hand.

"Yunliang, don't come to harm?"

Cao Miao nodded, and just wanted to tease a few words, but when she saw Xiahou Hui's sharp eyes, she swallowed it back. "Why are you here too?"

"Accompany Ziyuan to relax and take a look at the scenery of Jiangnan."

"How does it feel?" Cao Miao looked at the bamboo forests around the mountains. "If you like, stay longer."

"It seems that Yunliang, you really like it, and you don't even want to go back to Luoyang." Sima Shi took over the topic. "If I had known that, I should have sent my sister with me. Otherwise, when you become a princess, won't my sister become a concubine? ”

Cao Miao looked at Sima Shi and laughed silently. He wanted to reach out and put his arm around Sima Shi's shoulder, but when he saw that Sima Shi was half a head taller than him, he still gave up. "Ziyuan, if you really care about your sister, you don't have to worry. In fact, wives and concubines are just a name, who has the final say, in the end, it depends on the strength of the family. If you are willing to be a relative, even if your sister enters the door later, you can still become a queen. ”

Sima Shi's face remained unchanged, but Xiahou Hui's face turned pale. "Yunliang, what nonsense are you talking about? Although this is a wilderness and a barbaric land, you can't talk nonsense. What kind of relatives, queens, is this something to joke about? ”

"What are you nervous about? This is Da Wu, not Da Wei. Cao Miao smiled slightly.

"Don't forget, your surname is Cao, and you are from the Great Wei clan."

"Is Tianzi's surname Cao? How did I hear that his surname was Yuan? Cao Miao smiled brightly, like the sun shining. He turned his head to look at the people near Sima Shi. "Are these people the tribes of the Sima clan, or are they the killers of the school affairs department? Ziyuan, when you set off, did the Son of Heaven have any secret edicts such as taking my life? If you have one, take it out. There aren't many opportunities like that. ”

Sima Shi's face changed slightly, and his eyes became cold. He was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and gently hooked his fingers.

A group of people silently surrounded them, drew their weapons, and surrounded Cao Miao and the others.

Xiahou Hui was shocked, Cao Su was also startled, and rushed over, but was stopped by several people, and the first man held up a black token and shouted: "The school office is on an errand, please retreat from the general." ”

Cao Miao looked at Xiahou Hui and crooked his mouth. "You see, you are just a little clever, and your husband is a great wiser."
