Mrs. Sun's expression was solemn, and she subconsciously asked, "What is possible?" ”

"Pretending to agree, he made a black hand behind his back, and even borrowed a knife to kill people."

Mrs. Sun's eyes flickered. Even if Cao Miao deliberately provoked, his conjecture was by no means groundless, and it was entirely possible for Zhuge Liang to do so.

The Wei State had Meng Da, and the Wu State also had many Shu Han generals. These people did not have a good life in Wu State, discrimination was everywhere in the open and in the dark, and Elfang was even insulted by Yu Fang in person. If Zhuge Liang used the bait of atoning for his sins and returning to Shu Han to order them to cooperate with Shu Han spies and disrupt Wuchang, it would not be impossible.

Of course, if you can borrow a knife to kill people and blame the Wei State, it will be even more ideal.

That's what he did early last year. This is Zhuge Liang's typical style of doing things, and it must be guarded against. Most likely, this is already underway, she just doesn't know it yet.

Mrs. Sun looked at Cao Miao with a conflicted mood. Judging from Cao Miao's analysis, if Cao Miao is not a spy of Wei and is sincerely attached to Wu, he is an ideal strategist. If Cao Miao is a spy of the Wei State, then she will have to face two extremely clever opponents, Zhuge Liang and Cao Miao.

It's tingling to think about.

"Cao Jun's understanding of Zhuge Liang is surprising."

Cao Miao sneered: "I have studied him. ”

"Just because of your father?"

Cao Miao nodded. "It's just that he is more cunning than Wang Tai and Wang Ji, and he is far away in Yizhou, so I haven't found a chance yet."

"What if I give you this chance?"

Cao Miao raised her head, looked at Mrs. Sun twice, and shook her head again. "With all due respect, Madame should know that you are not Zhuge Liang's opponent."

"So I want you to help."

Cao Miao smiled. "Can Madame trust me?" Without waiting for Mrs. Sun to speak, he said again: "Even if Madame can trust me, I can't trust Madame." Who knows if you're going to borrow a knife to kill someone? In case of failure, I'm a substitute for the dead. Even if you are lucky, you may cross the river and tear down the bridge. ”

Mrs. Sun looked at Cao Miao with a smile. "If you don't try, how do you know if it's credible?"

Cao Miao pondered for a moment. "If you want me to believe that Madame can do it, you tell me one thing: Is Yinbo dead or alive?"

"Dead."

"Where is it buried?" Cao Miao sneered: "You won't tell me to throw it into the river, will you?" ”

Mrs. Sun blinked twice in succession, raised her wine glass, and smiled. "You guessed it again."

"Phew!" Cao Miao took a sip with a look of disdain.

Mrs. Sun's face did not change and sat up straight. "Cao Jun, let's make a deal."

Cao Miao looked at Mrs. Sun, did not speak, and did not hide the suspicion on her face.

"You help me deal with the Shu Han spies. I will tell you the whereabouts of Yinbo, see people alive, and see corpses when dead. ”

Cao Miao glanced at Mrs. Sun twice and thought about it repeatedly for a while. "You give me a deadline."

"After the enthronement ceremony is successfully completed." Mrs. Sun thought for a while, and then said, "You can trust me once, this transaction is definitely not a loss." ”

Cao Miao stared at Mrs. Sun again and again before nodding reluctantly. "Then I'll believe you once, and I hope Madame won't let me down."

"Definitely." Mrs. Sun stood up, raised her hand, and looked at Cao Miao with blazing eyes. "I swear by my father's honor."

The corners of Cao Miao's mouth twitched, glaring at Mrs. Sun angrily, and only after a while did she raise her hand helplessly. "I swear by my mother's honor." He got up from the table, walked up to Mrs. Sun, and slapped Mrs. Sun three times.

Mrs. Sun touched her sore palm and laughed loudly. Seeing Cao Miao's expression, she was in a good mood.

——

Before it was lunch time, Sun Luban hurried over with Sun Xiu and others. Liu Chen and Ruhua were also there, standing behind Cao Miao naturally.

Seeing that Mrs. Sun was in a good mood and talked and laughed, but Cao Miao was a little indignant, Sun Luban was surprised.

After secretly inquiring about Mrs. Sun's maid, and learning that Mrs. Sun was both soft and hard, forcing Cao Miao to agree to assist them in dealing with Shu Han spies, Sun Luban was overjoyed. Waiting for Mrs. Sun to go back to the inner room to change her clothes, she rushed to ask Mrs. Sun for confirmation.

Mrs. Sun was hugged by Sun Luban, laughing and jumping, and a little speechless. She broke free from Sun Luban and nodded at her forehead. "What are you happy about? That shaft is very cunning, whether you can control him, I'm really worried. ”

"Isn't there an aunt?" Sun Luban blushed his face and laughed with him. "Auntie will help me, won't she?"

Mrs. Sun snorted, noncommittal.

Sun Luban surrounded Mrs. Sun, offering great hospitality, her small mouth was like smearing honey, and she was changing the law to praise Mrs. Sun. Mrs. Sun was so troubled by her quarrel that she lowered her face and drank a few times, finally suppressing Sun Luban's enthusiasm.

"There's something to warn you about." Mrs. Sun broke Sun Luban's hand and pressed her to sit on the seat beside her.

"Auntie, you say." Sun Luban couldn't help but smile, trying to make himself look as steady as possible.

"Cao Miao has a personal enmity with Zhuge Liang, helping us deal with Zhuge Liang will do him no harm. I'm not worried about him about that. However, he will not be satisfied with this, and will take the opportunity to do what he wants to do, but we do not want him to do. You have to keep an eye on him, and if there is any change, report it to me immediately, and don't listen to his quibbles. ”

"Auntie still doesn't believe him?"

"In our business, you can't trust anyone." Mrs. Sun looked at Sun Luban solemnly. "Especially smart men."

"Why?" Sun Luban blinked in confusion.

"Because their ambitions are too big, you can never satisfy them." Mrs. Sun sighed. "Even if he sits on the world, he will still want to live forever. Cao Miao cultivated immortals and practiced Taoism at a young age, and fled with huge sums of money and beautiful concubines, eating men and women, and there was no shortage for a moment. Do you think he can help you with peace of mind? ”

Sun Luban was poured a basin of cold water with enthusiasm, his mood was instantly depressed, and he didn't even have the strength to stand, so he sat on the side dejectedly.

Mrs. Sun changed her clothes and looked at the bronze mirror again, and suddenly remembered Cao Miao's words, and a trace of desolation passed through her heart. Before she knew it, she was no longer confused. If it weren't for Zhou Yu's strategy back then, she would be a person with children and daughters now, so why would she be alone and alone.

What if your face doesn't change, and what if you hold power? Time can't deceive people. Every sleepless night reminded her that her life was destined to be a sacrifice. The appearance is glamorous, but it can't hide the tragic fate.

She thought of Cao Miao again. Regardless of whether Cao Miao was a spy of Wei or not, why wasn't he a sacrifice? In a dignified family, he should have enjoyed wealth and nobility in Luoyang, but because of his father's grievances, he had to take risks in Jiangdong. Even if it succeeds, what? Stained with a stain that can't be washed away for a lifetime, he can only survive in secret. For him, cultivating the Tao and doing business is not a second choice.

Perhaps, is it really just that I'm suspicious?

Mrs. Sun pondered for a moment, turned to look at Sun Luban, and hesitated: "Big Tiger, what do you think...... How about I take him as my adopted son? ”
