Even though Sun Luban is super thick-skinned and his nerves are super thick, he was said by Mrs. Sun to be embarrassed.

After a laugh and confusion, Sun Luban lay in Mrs. Sun's arms, but he couldn't sleep for a long time.

She remembered that crazy night, and even more so of the last few days. If she was indeed greedy for Cao Miao's strong body before, in the past few days, she has become more and more inseparable from Cao Miao's extraordinary wisdom.

Without his assistance, she would not have been able to crack the case in Qingcao City, arrest people, find clues, and lay a bigger net.

She couldn't think of anyone else who could be her virtuous helper like Cao Miao. There may be someone smarter than Cao Miao, but they will not be willing to live in seclusion behind the scenes. There are those who are willing to cling to her, but they may not have the ability of Cao Miao. Cao Miao is a special case, and she has a hard time finding a replacement.

If she wants to take over the Relief Camp, she can't do without Cao Miao's assistance.

But she messed things up. Cao Miao doubted her ability and didn't believe that she could provide him with enough protection, so she put her hope in her aunt again. Although I have been helping her in the past few days, I am limited to official business, and I can't avoid it in private.

My aunt has been particularly concerned about Cao Miao these days, and she has asked a few times, plus she had intended to accept Cao Miao as her adopted son before, so she obviously has something to ask for.

This does not bode well. If my aunt really accepted Cao Miao as her righteous son, she and Cao Miao became brother and sister, how could she accept him as a virtuous helper?

Sun Luban sighed and couldn't sleep.

Mrs. Sun also didn't fall asleep, but she didn't talk to Sun Luban. She knew what Sun Luban was thinking, but she hoped that Sun Luban would get what he wanted, but she was also a little worried. So far, she has not been able to fully confirm Cao Miao's reality, in case Cao Miao is a spy of the Wei State, let alone leave him by Sun Luban's side, it is not suitable to stay anywhere, only killing him is a foolproof strategy.

Taking a step back, even if Cao Miao was not a spy of the Wei State, could Sun Luban be able to control him?

This is a tricky question that must be treated with caution.

Thinking of Cao Miao's reminder, her body became more and more uncomfortable, in addition to pain and soreness, there was also some itching.

——

Cao Miao rolled over and lay on the bed and let out a sigh.

Knowledgeable and picturesque, one left and one right, lying in the crook of his arm, also drenched in sweat. Thanks to Sun Shangxiang, he sent a lot of spices, and he took a bath before, otherwise the smell would be a bit annoying.

"Lord, Miaoqin has sent news that Yinbo may still be alive." Ruhua touched Cao Miao's chest and said softly.

"Oh?"

"Recently, King Wu sent an envoy to Liaodong, saying that he wanted to form an alliance with Gongsun Yuan of Liaodong, but the size of the team was obviously too large, and it was not as simple as forming an alliance. Miao Qin said that there seemed to be familiar faces in the team, most likely Yin Fan's subordinates. If true, the hidden Buddha may also be among those people. ”

I don't know what to do. "Isn't Yinbo a close confidant of the Emperor of Wei, how could he get involved with the Wu people and go to Liaodong again? Could you have heard it wrong? ”

Picturesque shook her head. "I don't know about that. That's what she said, and I definitely didn't hear it wrong. ”

Cao Miao patted the picturesque shoulder. "Don't worry, Miaoqin must have her basis for saying this. As for why Yinbo got together with the Wu people and went to Liaodong, it will always be clear in the future. The most important thing at the moment is to handle the relationship with Mrs. Sun and Princess Sun. Picturesque, your performance in the past few days has been very good, you have an excellent grasp of proportion, keep up the good work. ”

"Whoa." Picturesque smiled happily and gave Zhishu a smug look. Zhishu pursed his lips, raised his thumb, and shook at the picture.

"Zhishu, I tested Mrs. Sun today, and her health may be worse than I thought. If nothing else, she'll soon be tempting to ask you for help. You also have to be in a good sense of proportion, and you can't be too enthusiastic and let her see the flaws. ”

"Lord, don't worry, I'm measured."

"Picturesque, Mrs. Sun may inquire about the news through Princess Sun in a roundabout way, including others, such as Lu Hong and Sun Qing, you have to be careful."

"Whoa."

"If it goes well, it shouldn't be long before we can get out of this trouble-relieving camp and show our heads in Wuchang City." Cao Miao patted the two of them on the shoulder. "Work hard!"

"Whoa." Zhishu propped up his body, and his blue eyes were charming. "Lord, I think the practice just now is still a little lacking, and I need to practice again."

"I want it too." The picture opened her arms and hugged Cao Miao's waist tightly.

"You two feral cats who don't have enough to eat." Cao Miao smiled bitterly: "Are you trying to squeeze the lord out of me?" ”

Zhishu clenched his fists and shook it, and said with a smile: "If we can't even deal with the two cats, how can we deal with the two tigers?" Lord, work hard! ”

"That's it, work hard!" Picturesque lying on Cao Miao's body, laughing and trembling, the waves are turbulent.

——

Outside Wuchang City, inside a luxurious mansion.

Two middle-aged men sat across from each other. One is gorgeously dressed and has a white face and few beards. One was dressed simply, with a thick black face.

Both of them looked a little solemn.

"General, the stakes are high, and such a mistake cannot be made again." The black-faced man said in a deep voice, his face darker, and his eyes were like knives. "After the deed is completed, the high-ranking officials will be able to satisfy the general, so why bother to take this petty profit in your eyes? Are there few such examples because of small losses? ”

The white-faced man's face was even whiter, and there was a faint sweat on his forehead. He said in a snort: "Please tell the prime minister that I have already made a mistake and will not dare to do it again." However, if you want to do something right, you must die, and the cost is very high, and I can't use public funds, and my private wealth is limited, even if I go to the king's affairs, I am overstretched, so I have to take risks, and I ask the prime minister to be considerate and considerate of my difficulties. ”

The black-faced man snorted, a hint of disdain in his eyes. However, he disguised it well, and soon disappeared into an understanding look. "The prime minister already knows about the general's difficulties and has made arrangements. Thousands of horses of Shu brocade are loaded and shipped, and they can arrive in Wuchang in three or five days at most. Qingcao City is sealed and cannot be delivered, so we can only change places. General, where do you see it is more convenient? ”

"Parrot Island, I'll arrange for someone to pick up the goods there."

"I'm afraid not." The black-faced man shook his head and said, "The guards of Parrot Island have too close contacts with the general, and once someone tracks them down, it is easy to implicate the general." After Qingcao City, the Wu people were very strict in smuggling, and they could not be taken lightly. ”

"Let's be careful."

"It's useless to be careful, a few thousand horses of brocade is not a small number, and if it disappears suddenly, it will definitely attract the attention of the Relief Camp." The black-faced man's brow furrowed even tighter. "Cao Miao from Wei is in the Relief Camp, and we suspect that the seizure of Qingcao City is likely to be related to him."

The white-faced man also frowned. "Zheng Jun, what is Cao Miao's identity? Did he really run away, or did he walk in between? ”

The black-faced man smiled wryly. "There is no definite evidence yet, and we have no way of judging. By all accounts, the possibility of a flight is high. However, what the prime minister meant was that no matter whether he was on the run or in between, he could not be kept. When necessary, extraordinary measures can be used. ”

"What extraordinary means?"

The black-faced man was just about to speak, when there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside. He glanced at the white-faced man, his eyes sharp. The white-faced man hurriedly explained with a smile: "It's okay, it's the orchid I prepared for Zheng Jun, please Zheng Jun smile and relieve the fatigue of the journey." ”
