Chapter 417: Big Business

Mrs. Sun laughed so hard that her image was completely gone.

Even her closest female guard would drop her jaw in shock. This woman rolling on the ground with a smile is Mrs. Sun? Even Sun Luban, who jumped out, would not be so gaffe and presumptuous.

But Cao Miao believed it. Mrs. Sun was supposed to be like this. In other words, the Sun family is this gene. Not to mention anything else, just look at Sun Quan's drunkenness as soon as he drinks, and he is still drunk, he knows that this is the real nature.

In essence, the Cao family is also virtuous, but the way it is expressed is slightly different.

"Let's go, go to Jianye City."

It took a lot of effort for Mrs. Sun to hold back her laughter. She changed into civilian clothes and ordered horses to be prepared. Space was limited on board, and only a few horses were brought with it. It is for the occasional ride on the shore. Along the way, she didn't go ashore, not because she didn't want to, but because Cao Miao didn't want to show her head, so she was not interested alone.

With Ah Hu, Ruhua and a few female guards, Cao Miao and Mrs. Sun went straight to Jianye City.

From the time Sun Ce crossed the river, Jianye was often used as the main garrison of the Wu army, and the famous Stone Town has the general's mansion left by Sun Ce. Jianye City is on the south side of Stone Town, and at present, the scale is not large, and there are not many merchants, which is neither as good as Wuchang City, which has just risen in recent years, nor as good as Wushi City, which has a long history.

This seems to be the fate of this city, which is always robbed of his due light by powerful friends.

Cao Miao successfully found the eyes and ears arranged by Zhuge Liang in Jianye City.

There is no other reason, Shu brocade is a commodity strictly controlled by Shu Han, as long as it can be on a certain scale of Shu brocade dealers, it is directly or indirectly related to Shu Han's intelligence system.

Cao Miao knows this, and Mrs. Sun also knows it, but they don't find it clear, and they tacitly understand it.

After entering the store, Mrs. Sun took the female guard to choose outside, Cao Miao walked directly to the innermost counter, knocked on the counter, and said to the middle-aged Confucian who was standing behind the counter to settle accounts: "My surname is Cao, and my name is Cao Miao." ”

The middle-aged Confucian student's eyelids jumped, and he slowly raised his head, revealing a professional smile. "What does Cao Jun command? The shop has good Shu brocade, the goods are authentic, and the price is fair......"

"The woman outside is surnamed Sun, and she is the governor of the Trouble-Relief Camp." Cao Miao crouched on the counter, turned around, and pointed to Mrs. Sun at the door of the store.

"Smack." The pen in the middle-aged Confucian student's hand fell to the ground, he could no longer control his expression, and his face turned pale.

He hadn't met Mrs. Sun, but he had heard of her, especially after Fei Yi was killed. Everyone in Shu Han's intelligence system was unwilling to face this decisive woman. Meeting means that the tacit understanding between Wu Shu has been broken for some reason, and he is going to die again.

"Don't be nervous." Cao Miao patted the middle-aged Confucian on the shoulder. "We're here to talk business."

"Talking about business?" The middle-aged Confucian breathed a sigh of relief, and his face gradually recovered. "How big of a business?"

"How big of a business can you decide?"

The middle-aged Confucian looked at Cao Miao twice, then looked at Mrs. Sun outside, and realized that this business was too big for him to decide. He thought for a while, and arched his hand: "Please wait for Cao Jun, I will ask the master." ”

"Okay." Cao Miao twisted her fingers and smiled. "Mrs. Sun's temper is not very good, don't irritate her."

The corners of the middle-aged Confucian student's mouth twitched, and he nodded again and again. Cao Miao's meaning is very clear, since they have all arrived here, the vicinity must be under martial law, and engaging in tricks not only cannot solve the problem, but is easy to cause misunderstanding.

After a short time, the middle-aged Confucian came out and offered his hand to Cao Miao. "The master is invited." looked at Mrs. Sun again and asked Cao Miao with her eyes. Cao Miao shook his head, turned around and entered the back hall. The middle-aged Confucian didn't dare to ask more, and stood behind the counter again, paying attention to every move outside.

Cao Miao passed through a narrow wall, turned a corner, and saw a small patio, a middle-aged man standing under the porch, bowing his hands to greet him. When Cao Miao saw it, he smiled dumbly, this man was actually Meng Shen who he had seen in Luoyang Shu Mansion.

"It turned out to be you."

"It's me." Meng Shen smiled: "We can be regarded as having met in a foreign land, right?" ”

"Of course." Cao Miao sat down, picked up the tea that Meng Shen had just poured, and took a sip. "Good tea. Brother Meng, when was you transferred to Jianye? ”

"At the beginning of the year."

Cao Miao nodded. He arrived in Wuchang at the end of last year, and Meng Shen arrived in Jianye at the beginning of the year, even if it had nothing to do with him, it was Zhuge Liang who realized that Sun Quan would return to Jianye sooner or later, so he strengthened Jianye's intelligence system in advance.

"How is the war progressing in Hanzhong and Wudu?"

"Cao Jun doesn't know?"

"I'm ...... situation now" Cao Miao smiled slightly, giving her a look that you know. Whether Meng Shen believes it or not, on the surface, he still took refuge in Soochow and has nothing to do with the intelligence system.

Meng Shen smiled considerately and roughly said some of the situation, which was very vague. Especially the fact that Zhuge Liang couldn't attack the river pool, he didn't mention it. If Cao Miao really didn't know anything, he thought that Zhuge Liang was going well, and he would soon be able to take Liangzhou.

"The prime minister's use of soldiers is like a god, which is awe-inspiring." Cao Miao patted her thigh and sighed. "If you take Liangzhou, the prime minister will have enough war horses, and whether it is going east along the Weishui River or going out of the gorge along the Yangtze River, it will be condescending and frightening."

Meng Shen's eyes rolled. "Is Cao Jun worried about his homeland, or is he worried about Wu?"

"Is there a difference?"

"If I'm worried about my homeland, there's nothing I can do. The Han and the thieves do not stand together, and the prime minister's northern expedition to the Central Plains is imperative. ”

"What if you're worried about Wu Guo?"

"That's not necessary. The Han and Wu alliances, dividing the world, this is the agreement between Prime Minister Zhuge and King Wu. Meng Shen smiled. I heard that Cao Jun was taught Wu Quan by the immortals, and was deeply trusted by King Wu, and he was a princess and enjoyed wealth, but he originally thought it was a rumor. Now seeing Cao Jun walking with Mrs. Sun, he knows that Cao Jun is so valued by King Wu, and he is deeply pleased with Cao Miao. Such a happy event should be congratulated. ”

Cao Miao laughed silently. "Since Brother Meng is so generous, then I'm not welcome."

"Of course, you and I have a fate, so there is no need to be polite."

Cao Miao put down the teacup and curled her fingers. "The equipment of the five hundred men, armor, swords, bows, crossbows, arrows, all available. Finally, there is the horse armor. ”

When Cao Miao said about the equipment of five hundred people, Meng Shen did not lose his temper, but just smiled a little disdainfully. When he heard the word Ma Kai, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he raised his head sharply and looked at Cao Miao to see if he was telling a joke.

Five hundred sets of horse armor? Wu has so many war horses, can it form five hundred armor cavalry?

There are 500 cavalry, which means that Wu has at least 5,000 cavalry, or even more. This is a situation that they did not know before, a major omission in the intelligence system, a major omission that could be fatal.

Meng Shen lowered his head and covered himself up by drinking tea, and it took a long time to regain his composure. "It's big business."
