Chapter 316: Retreat as Advance

When Sun Luban appeared in the small courtyard, Cao Miao was practicing boxing, one move and one style, flowing smoothly.

Ah Hu and the others stood aside, watching the battle attentively, Liu Chen followed the gesture, concentrating, and didn't even notice that Sun Luban entered the door. It was only when they heard the two maidservants saluting Sun Luban that they came back to their senses.

Cao Miao glanced back at Sun Luban, but did not stop and continued to practice.

Sun Luban glared at the two maids and didn't say much. These two handmaidens are Mrs. Sun's old department, and they are also the eyes and ears that Mrs. Sun has planted here, and it depends on them to understand Cao Miao's every move, and she can't be too presumptuous.

Sun Luban walked to Cao Miao's side, motioned for Ah Hu and the others to be polite, and looked at Cao Miao with interest. Although she really wanted to say hello to Cao Miao, with so many subordinates on her side and Madam Sun's reminder in front, she didn't want to be too proactive.

Watching Cao Miao practice martial arts is undoubtedly a good choice, not only to be reserved, but also to take the opportunity to observe Cao Miao's martial arts.

There aren't many such opportunities.

Cao Miao punched all the way, slowly retracted, and finished pranayama, and then said lightly: "Princess, this is triumphant?" ”

Sun Luban chuckled, "How do you know? ”

"With a happy face, full armor, and mud on his feet, it's not hard to guess."

Sun Luban looked down at his mud-stained combat boots, and his mouth was full of slurp. "Smart, no wonder my aunt compares you to Zhuge Liang. Guess who I defeated? ”

Cao Miao didn't think twice. "If you can let the army in the Relief Camp make a move, it must be a fierce enemy. The Wu army has the advantage of being a sailor, and the river defense is tight, so it must not be the elite of my Great Wei. The princess mentioned Zhuge Liang again, could it be the elite of Shu Han? ”

"Have you heard of the Tiger Battalion?"

"I've heard that the elite of the Shu Han Chinese Army has twice committed my Guanzhong with Zhuge Liang, and his combat effectiveness is very strong." Cao Miao frowned, revealing a hint of surprise. "The princess met against the Tiger Battalion?"

"yes, I can't believe it, huh?" Sun Luban's eyebrows fluttered, and he almost jumped up. The art of war that Madame Sun had just taught had been forgotten.

Cao Miao raised his eyebrows lightly and said in a deep voice: "If it is really the Tiger Battalion, it is indeed gratifying." However, it doesn't sound like it, the Tiger Battalion is here......" He shook his head and didn't say any more, just a puzzled expression.

Whether Sun Luban believes it or not, he doesn't believe it. Where is the Tiger Battalion appearing? Zhuge Liang is not so stupid, only Cao Su's big fool would use such a clumsy method of planting, and only a person with a big nerve like Sun Luban would believe it.

What tricks is Mrs. Sun playing?

Sun Luban laughed. "Although it is not yet possible to determine whether it is true or false, but those people are indeed elite, otherwise the left and right battalions would not have fought for a long time, so they had to ask me to come forward. Allow...... What, this time I was able to make meritorious contributions, thanks to the tactics you taught. My aunt wants to celebrate my success and wants to invite you to attend, you won't lose face, right? ”

"I'm a prisoner, do you dare not to give face?" Cao Miao spread his hands and asked rhetorically.

Sun Luban couldn't help laughing, glared at Cao Miao, and said angrily: "Then why don't you hurry up and change your clothes?" As he spoke, he pushed Cao Miao to the hall. Zhishu and Ruhua were just about to follow, but Sun Luban made a look, pushed Cao Miao into the inner room, and closed the door with his hand.

Cao Miao looked at Sun Luban vigilantly. What is this thing trying to do?

"There's something to tell you." Sun Luban put away his smile and looked serious. "Auntie is going to change your place of residence."

"I'm living well here, why do I have to change again?"

Sun Luban bit his lip and hesitated for a moment. She knew why Mrs. Sun wanted to change her place for Cao Miao, but she couldn't say it to Cao Miao. "How's Shih Tzu going? The boat is mine now, you can live as you please. ”

Cao Miao blinked and spread her hands again. "Do I have a choice?"

Sun Luban was very dissatisfied with Cao Miao's attitude, and said angrily: "I don't have a choice, so it's decided." Later, my aunt will ask you where you want to go, and you will say go to Shih Tzu Fang. There is wine and meat, there is singing and dancing, and it is very lively. It's March 3 soon, and there may be a parade. ”

"And the parade?" Cao Miao finally got a little interested. "When are you going?"

"Maybe it's today." Sun Luban twisted his body, pushed the door out, and closed the door with a "bang".

Cao Miao hummed a little song while shouting to Zhishu and Ruhua to come in and wait for him to change his clothes. Of course, he can wear it himself, but he is not an ordinary person now, he is the prince of Wei, and he must have the support he deserves. Zhishu and Picturesque pushed the door in, couldn't help but smile, and waited for Cao Miao to take off his samurai uniform and change into the formal dress for attending the banquet, and then pushed the door out.

Sun Luban stood under the corridor, turned his head when he heard the sound, glanced at Cao Miao, and his eyes lit up.

Cao Miao, who wears a dress, is still very generous, and she is not stingy with the two of them. Sure enough, it is a person who relies on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and when he turns around, he should prepare a few more sets of clothes for him, which looks more comfortable, and he will have face when he takes it out.

Sun Luban couldn't help but laugh, quickly followed, and walked side by side with Cao Miao. She looked at the dress on Cao Miao's body, and then at the fine armor on her body, the more she looked at it, the happier she became, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

——

Seeing Cao Miao and Sun Luban walking side by side in front of her, Mrs. Sun was in a trance for a while.

It seemed like she had been expecting for years, but it had never happened.

Women can also stand tall with their heads held high and stand side by side with men, instead of clinging to men, bowing their heads and acting in obedience.

In an instant, she was a little jealous of Sun Luban. Dahu's life is really good, not only is he favored by his father and mother, but after Zhou Xun, he can also meet Cao Miao - a prince from an enemy country, who has strange talents, but has no place to use, and needs the protection of a strong man to settle down, which is simply tailor-made for her.

Is there a more perfect husband than this?

Cao Miao and Sun Luban walked side by side in front of Mrs. Sun, saw the look in Mrs. Sun's eyes, and were secretly proud. He deliberately dressed up like this and walked side by side with Sun Luban in order to impress Mrs. Sun, so that she could see the other side of him and feel his "concessions" at the same time.

Only by surprise can we defeat the enemy. If he wants to carry out the yang scheme, he must go to the sun and walk in front of the monarchs and ministers of the state of Wu, instead of being placed under house arrest in the relief camp. After more than a month of mutual testing and patient waiting, this opportunity is coming, and it is natural to use some big moves.

Attack the city for the bottom, attack the heart for the top.

What he wants to attack is Mrs. Sun's heart, Mrs. Sun's aunt's heart.

Mrs. Sun had no children. She regarded Sun Luban as her heir and cultivated it carefully. In the face of Sun Luban's happiness, she will unconsciously make concessions and look at him differently as Sun Luban's wife.

With the protection of Mrs. Sun and Sun Luban, he can stand in front of the monarchs and ministers of Wu State in a dignified manner, and display his scheming generously.

This is a dream that Yinbo cannot achieve.

"Madame, have you been too tired lately? I don't look good. Cao Miao arched her hand and smiled brightly.
