After dinner, Cao Miao walked out of the yard and prepared to take a walk by the lake outside the camp. When he passed by the official house, Sun Qing came out of it and stopped him.

"What a coincidence, I was about to invite Cao Jun."

Cao Miao was puzzled. "Something?"

"Madame has something to discuss with Cao Jun."

Sun Qing led Cao Miao into the door and came to the hall, Mrs. Sun was preparing to have dinner, and several captains and military marquis, including Sun Luban, were also there, all fully armed and with solemn expressions. Seeing Cao Miao come in, Sun Luban blinked, but stood still.

Mrs. Sun stood in front of the map, her face shining with oil and exhaustion.

Cao Miao looked around blankly. "It's ...... Action? ”

"Be prepared." Mrs. Sun beckoned and called Sun Luban and the others to her. "Tomorrow is the Shangsi Festival, and the king will travel with his ladies. The camps will accompany you, and the My Relief Camp is no exception. Especially in the Fanshan area, although the bandits were repelled last time, they failed to encircle and annihilate them, so they couldn't be unguarded. Lu Ban, from now on, you will be on call at any time until the king returns to the palace. ”

Mrs. Sun glanced at Cao Miao. "Cao Jun, I have you to assist Lu Ban and ensure her safety. Anyone who might threaten her will be killed. ”

Cao Miao bowed down to receive the order.

Mrs. Sun then arranged for the other people's tasks. Everyone received the orders one by one, in an orderly manner, and at first glance they were used to doing it, only Sun Luban was a novice.

After the task was arranged, everyone split up. Mrs. Sun left Sun Luban and had dinner together. Knowing that Cao Miao had finished eating, she smiled, didn't say anything, and while eating, she instructed Sun Luban to pay attention to the matters, especially to let Zhu Ying cooperate well and not make any mistakes.

Cao Miao saw it in his eyes, turned around and said a few words to Ah Hu. Ah Hu turned around and left, and after a short time, he came back with Liu Chen and Ruhua. Although they did not have a full set of armor, they also wore light armor and brought weapons.

"Liu Chen, from now on, you follow Team Zhu." Cao Miao commanded.

Liu Chen surrendered his promise and turned around and stood beside Zhu Ying. Zhu Ying was surprised and delighted, and thanked Cao Miao. Cao Miao waved his hand. "Although Liu Chen has not been with me for a long time, he is a loyal and righteous person. It is his blessing to be favored by the team when he leaves his hometown. Let him protect you, but also fight for himself, and the team rate does not have to be polite. ”

Zhu Ying was a little embarrassed and thanked Cao Miao again. Seeing this, Mrs. Sun ordered someone to take four pairs of armor and let Ah Hu and Liu Chen wear them. She originally wanted to prepare a set for Cao Miao, but Cao Miao refused, on the grounds that he was not used to wearing armor, and the weight of the armor would affect his speed.

Mrs. Sun did not insist.

Mrs. Sun ate quickly, almost gobbling it up. After eating, she ordered a few cups of tea. Holding the teacup and smelling the fragrance of tea, she showed a rare relaxation.

"Tomorrow is going to be tense." She said, squinting, her eyes a little misty, and a little indescribably cold. "The king issued an edict, and the plan for the auxiliary general to return to Beijing was temporarily suspended, and there will definitely be a reaction from Shu Han's side. If those bandits were really related to Shu Han, they would never let go of this opportunity. I can't say it, there will be a fierce battle. ”

Cao Miao was silent. He knew that the reason why Cao Su had not moved in the past few days was because he had changed his target to Lu Xun, who was about to come to Wuchang. If you know that Lu Xun is not coming, Sun Quan will travel again tomorrow, and the possibility of attacking is not small, but the probability of success is infinitely close to zero.

Not to mention Cao Su, even if he led those two hundred people, he was not sure to break through the vigilance of the Wu army.

"You'd better put on your armor." Mrs. Sun said to Cao Miao: "The situation on the battlefield is complicated, and every arrow may kill you. In case the other party recognizes you, no matter which side of the bandit is, they may attack you. ”

Cao Miao was puzzled. "The Shu Han people may want my life, I can understand it. If it is your family of Wu Kingdom and wants to kill me, it is understandable. But if I am from Dawei, why does Madam think that they will kill me too? ”

Mrs. Sun took a sip of tea and said, "When the news of Wu Fist spreads, can you be sure that Emperor Wei will not kill you?" Don't forget, he once asked you to go to Jiangdong in the first place, what is the difference between this and killing people with a knife? ”

Cao Miao's brows furrowed, and she was about to say more, when Mrs. Sun said again: "There is no harm in being careful. ”

Cao Miao hesitated for a moment and nodded. "Thank you, ma'am, I'll be careful, I'll wear armor when I go out."

——

Cao Miao followed Madame Sun out of the camp, boarded her flagship, and sailed into the river.

The river is lit up. All the sailors stationed in Wuchang were put on alert, and on the river under the charge of each battalion, the warships were on standby, and Meng Chong shuttled back and forth to check all the ships that passed. Even Madame Sun's flagship could only pass after the password, and Cao Miao was surprised by the strictness of the guard.

After coming to Koto for so long, it was the first time he had experienced such a state.

Mrs. Sun stood on the flying house, holding on to the railing, silently looking around, without saying a word.

Cao Miao stood aside, looking at Mrs. Sun's silhouette, thinking about what Mrs. Sun said not long ago, and was suspicious in her heart.

Mrs. Sun said that Cao Rong might send someone to kill him, which is not like a routine, but a judgment with a certain basis. What is the basis for this? He was curious. It was just an excuse that it was related to Wu Quan, and the news had not yet had time to reach Luoyang, let alone a back and forth. Even if the bandits lurking nearby were Wei people, it was impossible to assassinate him just because he had become the auspicious rui of the Wu State.

Unless the commander's official position is high enough to have the power to make his own decisions, or Cao Rong has had similar arrangements before. Regardless of which possibility it was, Mrs. Sun had some evidence and knew that he might be killed, so she specially reminded him.

Does it have anything to do with sheep? According to the time, if it goes well, it is indeed possible that Yang Wei has returned to Wuchang. This is also the reason why he asked Liu Chen to follow Zhu Ying.

Liu Chen's exposure is becoming more and more likely, and this is a good opportunity to quit.

But if Mrs. Sun had been prepared for this, what if it was a trap? Waiting for Liu Chen may not be Cao Su, but someone else. He thought that Liu Chen could take the opportunity to get out, but in fact, he sent Liu Chen into the tiger's mouth. Once Liu Chen is out of his sight, he really has little confidence in how much temptation or torture he can withstand.

Not everyone can be a steadfast and unyielding warrior.

Thinking about it now, Liu Chen is like a flaw specially arranged by Cao Rong by his side.

"Yunliang, you just said that Liu Chen hasn't been with you for a long time?" Mrs. Sun suddenly turned around, looked at Cao Miao, and said softly, "What did he do before?" And how did he follow you? ”

Cao Miao chuckled in her heart, her thoughts turned sharply, and she said with a smile: "Madame has been busy for a day, is she tired, why don't I help you pinch your shoulders and relax?" ”

Mrs. Sun raised her eyebrows slightly. "Okay, my shoulder is indeed a little sore, it's good to pinch it."

Cao Miao stood behind Mrs. Sun, put her hand on Mrs. Sun's shoulder, and said while kneading, "Madame should have heard Liu Chen's name." ”

"Should I have heard his name?" Mrs. Sun said with a smile.

"He's blackmailed sheep." Cao Miao said: "Yang Wei should have mentioned him. ”
