Cao Miao sat cross-legged. The copper pipe was placed on the case in front of him, and the sealing wax was still there.

The moment he got his hands on it, he knew that the copper pipe was empty and that there was nothing in it.

It's just a test.

The effect was stronger than he expected. Madame Sun's precautions against him were certainly stricter than he imagined, and Madame Sun's retreat was easier than he imagined. He thought that a conflict was inevitable and was ready to open fire, but he didn't expect Mrs. Sun to be cowardly.

Did I overestimate her, or did she deliberately show weakness?

Cao Miao didn't know. But one thing he is sure of is that Mrs. Sun's physical condition is not good, and the perennial high-intensity martial arts practice and fatigue have left her riddled with injuries. She herself was aware of this, and when facing him with her bare hands, she was not sure of victory and chose to give in.

Anything else can be pretended, but cold sweat can't be pretended. He didn't think that Mrs. Sun had that kind of acting skills, and it was necessary to act for him.

There is another fact that supports his inference. Mrs. Sun left Zhishu, but did not ask Zhishu to serve her. It is likely that she is worried that the knowledge book will see through the truth, so she can only stay away.

What kind of pain is under that seemingly delicate body?

What price did she pay for today's achievements?

Does she regret it? What was on her mind the most?

Cao Miao repeatedly analyzed Mrs. Sun's psychology. In the face of such a strong opponent, it is never a wise choice to fight hard, and only by patiently looking for flaws can you have a chance to win. This is true of today's test, and the same is true of those words he said to Sun Luban.

He believed that Mrs. Sun was also human. If you are human, you will have weaknesses and you will be injured.

This is true physically, but also psychologically.

"Lord." Ruhua pushed the door in, closed the door, and placed a box of incense powder in front of Cao Miao. "According to Guanyinnu, there are several orchids around Elfang, and they all like to use this kind of incense powder, and they have to buy a batch every month."

Cao Miao picked up the incense powder and sniffed it. It was indeed very similar to the smell of Elfang's body, but he was not sure. He told Lu Hong the truth, taste memory is not his forte, and after a little longer, he is not sure.

"Tell Princess Sun tomorrow that it's up to her to decide what to do."

"Whoa."

"Also, if there is a way to contact Miaoqin, let her not have direct contact with the orchid next to Elfang for the time being."

"Why?"

"I always felt like there was something wrong with this, like a trap." Cao Miao twisted her fingers. "Attracting the incense powder merchants in Fanshi with such fanfare is not like looking for clues, but as if he is deliberately reminding Elfang. I wonder if Mrs. Sun will have other intentions, such as luring Miaoqin and them to show up. ”

Picturesque shuddered. "Lord, this Mrs. Sun...... Is it so powerful? ”

"I can be in charge of the trouble-solving camp with a woman for more than ten years, and I have no means, how can I sit firmly? This time, though, she met her lifelong enemy. Cao Miao sneered, revealing a confident smile. And it's two. ”

Picturesque looked at Cao Miao and smiled. "It's her luck to meet an opponent like the Lord."

"How?"

"Mrs. Sun is a woman in charge of the army, and the men in the world look sideways, I don't know how many people curse her behind their backs and slander her, there are not many people like the lord who regard her as an opponent, and it may even be unique."

Cao Miao thought about it and couldn't help but laugh dumbly. "Yes, in this day and age, I may be the only man who can appreciate her."

——

For several days, Cao Miao closed the door.

Liu Chen and Ruhua went to the school field to train the soldiers under Sun Luban as always. After half a month of personal martial arts training, Cao Miao asked Ah Wu to go for two days to demonstrate the technique of three-person combined attack.

Three-person teams are the smallest tactical units, suitable for street fighting and other complex terrain. Compared to the Wush formation commonly used in this era, the three-man team is more flexible and efficient, and of course, the requirements for the non-commissioned officers are also higher.

Cao Miao can only teach some basic tactics, and how to practice to give full play to the best results depends on Sun Luban and others to figure out their own methods. He had asked Sun Luban to look for a better training ground, but so far there has been no result.

Since Mrs. Sun was so wary of him going out of the camp, he didn't bother to ask again, and let them figure out their own way.

After teaching the basic cooperation, Ah Hu came back. Ruhua spent most of his time with Sun Luban, and occasionally instructed the female guards on their personal martial arts, and only Liu Chen remained in the training ground.

Liu Chen and Zhu Ying fought hotly and did not return home several times. With this reason, he had ample opportunities to meet with Han Dong and pass on information.

Han Dong sent a message: Cao Su has crossed the river. The imperial court seems to have made up its mind to prevent Sun Quan from becoming emperor in the near future.

Burning the information and watching the paper curl and turn black under the licking of the flames, Cao Miao's mood was heavy. He is not as confident as Han Dong, whether this decision is Cao Rui's or Cao Xiu's, he can't say for sure. In his opinion, it was not so much a decision of the imperial court as a personal decision of Cao Xiu.

This is the standard, the scar forgets the pain, and as soon as I returned to the Yangzhou war zone, I wanted to be reckless and regain face. He could almost guess that after Cao Xiu heard Cao Su relay his plan, he did not prepare seriously at all, let alone train sufficiently, and selected some people and set out in a hurry.

Can special forces be rapid? It's just naïve.

Cao Miao was speechless. If there was another choice, he would not have saved Cao Xiu in the first place, and it was the best choice for him to die early and surviv.

The bitter fruit that you have planted must be swallowed with tears.

It is necessary to get out of the current predicament as soon as possible, and it is best to meet with Cao Su himself, confirm some situations, and make proper arrangements. Otherwise, Cao Su will fall into the hands of the Relief Camp sooner or later, and whether to save or not is the problem he must face.

Cao Miao didn't dare to ask Cao Su to meet in Wuchang City. Cao Su has a special identity, he has registered in the Relief Camp, and once he is recognized, Mrs. Sun will hunt him down at any cost. No matter how fierce Cao Su is, it is impossible to really treat one as a hundred, and he will definitely die.

With so many people crossing the river, it was almost impossible not to attract the attention of the relief camp. With Cao Su's IQ, it is even more impossible to let him infiltrate in batches and reassemble at the pointed location. If nothing else, he is likely to be smuggled by warship, and life and death depend on luck.

What to do? Cao Miao scratched the old man's scalp.

Before Cao Miao could figure out a way, a message came from Ruhua. Mrs. Sun has been out of the camp frequently in the past few days, and every time she is fully armed and in a hurry. Sun Luban's performance was also a little weird, and he deliberately separated her when he went to see Mrs. Sun a few times, and his eyes were a little strange when he looked at her.

Cao Miao became more and more uneasy, but there was nothing she could do. In a hurry, he couldn't contact Cao Su if he wanted to.

The only thing he can do seems to be to brake with static, to respond to all changes with immutability.

After all, he couldn't help but guard against another possibility: Mrs. Sun couldn't afford to wait and wanted to lure him out.
