Mrs. Sun, who was dining, frowned slightly, and the hardwood chopsticks in her hand snapped.

Shi Sha's heart tightened, and he knelt down instinctively. With her understanding of Mrs. Sun, this is a precursor to murderous intentions. As for who she wants to kill, it is not clear whether it is her or Cao Miao.

Mrs. Sun looked at Shi Sha and said in a deep voice, "Shi Sha, did you have something that you didn't report?" ”

"Madame......" Shi said in a hoarse voice, beads of sweat on his forehead.

Mrs. Sun beckoned, took a pair of chopsticks from the maid's hand, and resumed the meal without looking at Shi Sha. Shi Sha knew that this was her last chance. If Mrs. Sun didn't tell the truth before she finished eating, there was no need to talk about it.

"Madame, ...... Doing things poorly, something went wrong in the middle. ”

Mrs. Sun didn't say a word and continued to eat, but the chewing sound was louder.

Shi Sha had no choice but to tell her that she had received the news that Cao Xiu's son Cao Su was among the people escorting Cao Miao, so she wanted to capture Cao Su alive, but she made a mistake in her actions. Most of the ministers were lost, and they were unable to control Cao Miao, so they could only send someone to follow them, which made a big mistake and Cao Miao escaped. Please punish Madame. ”

Mrs. Sun's eyelids were slightly raised, and the chopsticks in her hand stopped. "Cao Xiu's son?"

"Yes, Cao Xiu's second son, Cao Su, led twenty horsemen and accompanied him to protect Cao Miao."

"Since Cao Miao is on the run, why would Cao Xiu send his son to escort him at any time? This doesn't make sense. ”

"This ......" Shi Sha hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I heard Cao Miao occasionally say that his escape was not a violation of national law, but an offense to people. The person who chased and killed him was not the Wei State government, but a ranger and killer from Luoyang. The ministers fought against them, and their personal martial arts were superb, but they had no formation method, which was in line with what Cao Miao said. ”

"Who did he offend?"

"He didn't say anything specific, he seemed to be a high-powered old minister."

"A powerful old minister?" Mrs. Sun pondered for a long time, nodded lightly, and motioned for Shi Sha to continue.

Shi Sha didn't dare to hide it anymore, and told everything about it. After listening to Mrs. Sun, she was about to speak, but Shi Sha said again: "The minister heard Shi Nuo say that Cao Miao also mentioned something to her, I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Cao Miao said that when the Wei State heard that the king had the intention of becoming emperor, he sent assassins to obstruct it."

Mrs. Sun was slightly stunned, then straightened up and asked Shi Sha to speak carefully. Knowing that this incident was told by Shi Nuo to Cao Miao, Shi Sha was not present at the time, and ordered someone to pass on Shi Nuo. Shi Nuo was waiting outside, and after a short time, he came to the hall, saw Shi Sha kneeling on the ground, knew that something was wrong, and quickly knelt down, and told the story carefully.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Sun ordered to convene a meeting of her subordinates.

Things have changed. Now it is not a matter of her personal dignity, but the safety of King Sun Quan of Wu, which cannot be taken lightly.

The nature of the problem has changed, but the crux remains the same. The top priority is to find Cao Miao.

——

Feng Yifang, Cao Miao sat in the top cabin, looking at the Wu soldiers who were searching the ships in the distance, and laughed silently.

In the crowd full of shadows, he saw Shi Sha's figure. It can be seen from this that the Relief Camp, at least the Liberation Camp led by Lady Sun, has moved to find him.

As for whether this was because Mrs. Sun felt that her dignity was challenged, or because of the information he deliberately revealed, he could not determine. But it doesn't matter why, it's the result that matters. The purpose of his trickery is to make Mrs. Sun pay attention to him, and don't treat him as an ordinary descendant.

He came to Jiangdong to take the upper route, so naturally he couldn't hide in the dark all the time. But how to play is very particular. The appearance was amazing, and he would have the opportunity to directly contact Sun Wu's power class in the future. The appearance is not amazing, he is just an ordinary person, he wants to visit others, and others may not be willing to see him, even if he barely sees him, they may not believe him.

Who would listen to the nonsense of a nobody, not to mention that this nobody is still a descendant. If there is no particularly important news, no one will easily pass his message on to someone more powerful.

Information has a diminishing effect. One more pass, and the impact will decrease by one layer. After several transmissions, the originally earth-shattering news may not even be able to stir up a splash. Tightness in the front and tightness in the rear is one of the manifestations of this effect. Some people deliberately downplay it in order to take advantage of the opportunity to make profits, but more people are delusional because they can't feel the tension ahead, thinking that the world is peaceful.

For example, when he was in Luoyang, he couldn't feel the tension in Runan and Yiyang.

Who would have thought that there would be a no-man's land between the Jianghuai and the Huai River?

Being in Wuchang, what he felt was the double joy brought by the auspiciousness of Shiting and the approaching New Year not long ago, as well as the inexplicable pride of Sun Quan who was about to become emperor, and countless people wanted to get a piece of the pie in this feast and at least share a little glory, especially for Wuchang people.

Few people would have thought of the war and death that Sun Quan might bring about when he became emperor, and Wuchang could become a battlefield at any time.

"How long will it take to find you here?" Cao Miao retracted her gaze and took a sip of tea. This tea with ginger really didn't taste good, he frowned, and gently lowered the cup.

Ren Hongchang, who was sitting opposite, smiled. "Unless the entire camp is dispatched, even if the townsman lives for a year, they won't be able to find you."

Cao Miao raised her eyebrows and laughed silently. Knowing that after he broke the rangers sent by Ren Huangchang and Ren Qingchang in Mulan Ze, Ren Hongchang's attitude was obviously a little respectful, and he had a little bit of the attitude that his subordinates should have. Of course, this has something to do with her granddaughter Yunniang staying in Luoyang.

"In the second year of Huangwu, King Wu built a city in Huanghu Mountain (Snake Mountain), and I arranged for people to buy houses and operate dance and music. In the past few years, it can be regarded as a little famous, and this painting boat has received countless celebrities. There are no special circumstances, and no one dares to disturb easily. Even if you come to check, someone will ventilate in advance, and there will be enough time for the townsman to prepare. ”

"Who is the most distinguished guest you have ever received on this boat?"

Ren Hongchang smiled. "Far away, close at hand. The townsman is the eldest son of King Yongqiu, and he should be on a par with Sun Deng, the prince of Wu. After crossing the river, the status was higher than that of the townsman, and only King Wu was alone. ”

Cao Miao couldn't help laughing. "Don't be joking, auntie."

Ren Hongchang pondered for a moment. "It's going to be a while, but I really can't tell. In the past few years, the strength was limited, and he didn't dare to be too public, and he was not considered a first-class painting boat in Wuchang, so most of the people received were the children of civil ministers and military generals, and occasionally there were important ministers who held real power. ”

"What about the clan?"

"That's even less. Except for a few unexpectedly people who will come to visit, most of them still go to Shih Tzu Fang. Xi Shi Fang is the property of the people of Wu County, and it is said that the owner behind it is the general Quan Cong. ”

Cao Miao smiled silently. It is interesting that Diao Chan and Xi Shi, among the four beauties, meet in this way. "Auntie, you have a lot of bearded girls in the painting boat, you should be called Zhaojun Fang, so that you can compete with Xi Shi Fang. In the future, there will be an opportunity to build another Jade Ring Boat, and the four beauties will be together. ”

Ren Hongchang was puzzled. "Xi Shi, Zhaojun, plus a jade ring, there are only three people, how can there be four beauties?"

Cao Miao pointed at Ren Hongchang. "Far away, close at hand."
