Chapter 425: Hush Money

Zhuge Liang was silent.

Meng Yan bowed knowingly, bowed and retreated, and Zhuge Liang was quiet. Before leaving, he glanced at Jiang Wei and bowed his jaw.

Jiang Wei bowed and returned the salute, looking indifferent. He knew that it was not him that Meng Yan respected, but Zhuge Liang, who was standing not far away.

Hearing Meng Yan's footsteps gradually disappearing, Zhuge Liang turned to look at Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei immediately walked over and stood next to Zhuge Liang, half a step behind Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang said lightly: "Do you know Cao Miao? ”

"Know." Jiang Wei said. His official position is Cangcao Peng, which is actually far more than that, he is very close to Zhuge Liang and has access to a lot of confidential information. "The eldest son of King Junyi, who has been suffering from madness for ten years, has been dreaming of immortals, and now he is in Jiangdong."

"Are you sure he's in between?"

Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment, inexplicably regretting it. He was just a gut feeling, not proof. Of course, it's okay to say this to others, but you have to be very careful when talking to Zhuge Liang, without enough evidence, you must not jump to conclusions.

"Wei Tang abruptly, just guessing."

"To say that he is between the lines is not wrong, but it is biased. This son is cunning, and it's not just as simple as reading between the lines. Zhuge Liang laughed silently. Anyway, Cao Rong is only afraid of a headache at the moment. ”

Jiang Wei plucked up his courage. "Please also ask the prime minister to dial."

"Cao Miao, with the respect of a prince and a suspicious body, can escape all the way out of Luoyang and enter the realm of Wu, if you want to say that there is no arrangement from Cao Ei, I am afraid it is unlikely. Why did Cao Ei arrange for Cao Miao to go to Jiangdong? There must be a reason why Cao Miao must be. If I think about it carefully, there are roughly two: Cao Miao is extremely smart, wise, and can take on heavy responsibilities, or he was originally borrowing a knife to kill people. If it is Cao Rong today, no matter whether Cao Cao's dream is true or not, when such news comes out, Cao Miao must die. In this way, the two can be combined into one. ”

Jiang Wei thought for a moment and nodded approvingly. He originally had similar thoughts, but he was not as sure as Zhuge Liang.

But he never expected that Cao Miao would announce his identity, put himself in the open, and gain the trust of the Wu people. In this way, the sword of the Wu people was never borrowed, but Cao Miao was protected by the Wu people, and the situation got out of control. ”

Zhuge Liang turned around and slowly walked down the mountain. Jiang Wei followed closely,

This game seems to be dominated by Cao Rong, but in fact, Cao Miao is the real leader. Go with the flow, give up and then get, the wisdom of this son is within reach, but the foolishness is unreachable. Zhuge Liang sighed and stopped talking.

Among the younger generation of Shu Han, who can be Cao Miao's enemy? Thinking about it, Jiang Wei in front of him can be used.

But Cao Ei can make Cao Miao Xingjian Jiangdong, but he can't make this decision easily. Cao Rong wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, but he couldn't afford such a loss. Compared with the Central Plains, there are too few talents in Yizhou, and everyone is very precious.

For this reason, he has been struggling for a long time, but he still can't make up his mind.

But he didn't have a better choice.

In addition to the fact that it is difficult to find someone with enough intelligence to be comparable to Cao Miao, this is a rare and good opportunity to let Jiang Wei be promoted quickly. His reluctance to Jiang Wei has aroused the disgust of many people, not only the people of Yizhou, but even the people of Jingxiang have complained, especially after Ma Jian was killed.

He needed a chance for Jiang Wei to show his wits and prove that his decision was not selfish.

"Boyo, you can go to Jianye." Zhuge Liang said: "Meet Cao Miao." In the future, he may be your arch-rival. ”

"Whoa." Jiang Wei suppressed the excitement in his heart and bowed down to accept the order.

Zhuge Liang glanced at Jiang Wei, although he didn't want to say it, he still couldn't hold back. "Remember, he's not your enemy yet."

Jiang Wei agreed again.

——

"Sima Shi?" Cao Miao was stunned for a moment, a little unable to believe her ears.

Sima Shi is a secret envoy and came to announce the edict?

What edict to proclaim? A cry appeared in Cao Miao's mind: This TM is announcing my death sentence!

What kind of hornet's nest he poked, he still knows in his own heart. When he returned to Luoyang, even if he didn't die, he would be imprisoned for life.

And from the day he left Luoyang, he never thought of returning to Luoyang, at least not in this way.

Let Mrs. Sun lead the troops back to Luoyang, then you can still consider it. If you return to Luoyang with Cao Rong's edict, forget it, it is better to die in Jiangdong.

But he was curious as to why the Son of Heaven would send Sima Shi as a secret envoy. He wasn't afraid that Cao Xiu, Cao Su's father and son would be blackmailed, and he would directly do Sima Shi?

Cao Su, who was disguised as a pear farmer, shook his head again and again. "What shall I do to kill him? Not to mention that it is inconvenient to follow, even if there is a chance, I will not kill. I'd rather see him half-dead, and for the rest of my life. ”

Thinking of the happy place, Cao Su wiped his chin, and the oil paint on his face was smeared.

"If you don't fight a tiger, you will be injured by a tiger." Cao Miao patiently reminded: "Desi, you must not have the kindness of a woman. ”

Cao Su looked at Cao Miao and smiled. "Why don't you do me a favor? It just happened to help Yuanrong get a relief. To tell you the truth, the only thing I regret about the disabled Sima Shi is that I delayed Yuanrong. ”

"Looking at your little bit of talent, it's really right to say that you are a woman's kindness." Cao Miao took a sip, stood up, picked two pears from the basket, rubbed them on his body, took a big bite, threw down a penny, and walked away.

Cao Su looked at Cao Miao's back and shouted at the top of his voice. "Autumn pear, sweet and crisp autumn pear, take a bite, autumn pear full of water......"

Cao Miao was choked and scolded secretly. "When did this ramming goods become so stylish?"

went up to the restaurant and came to the private seat facing the street. Cao Miao saw Mrs. Sun sitting against the window at a glance, walked up, and threw a pear over.

"Taste, fresh autumn pear, cough and lungs, quench thirst."

Mrs. Sun caught it, took out a handkerchief, wiped it, and took a bite. "There's good news."

"Oh?" Cao Miao sat down opposite Mrs. Sun, stretched out her foot, and scratched the center of Mrs. Sun's foot. Mrs. Sun was afraid of itching, retracted her foot, glanced at Cao Miao, and said in a low voice: "Under the public's court, you are not allowed to mess around." ”

"Ugh." Cao Miao responded obediently. "What's the good news?"

Zhuge Liang agreed, 500 sets of ordnance are being shipped, and they will arrive in Jianye in half a month at the latest. Is your money ready? A set of 100,000 yuan, 500 sets is 50 million, I don't have so much cash on hand. ”

"He's embarrassed to ask for money?" Cao Miao's eyes widened, and she looked surprised.

Mrs. Sun was also stunned. "Do you want to be in vain? 100,000 sets are not expensive, these are all fine products that money may not be able to buy. ”

Cao Miao said confidently: "I keep it a secret for him, don't you want to pay hush money?" ”

Mrs. Sun pouted, too lazy to take care of Cao Miao.
