"Big things are coming, without further ado, I'll do it now."

Cai Mao hurriedly called Zhang Yundao, who had just gotten up: "Wait, remember that as long as you are secretly staring at it, don't mess with Mi Zhen." In my opinion, she came here to make money as a businessman, and after all, Mi's current head office is in Xiangyang City. If her fleet had any bad moves to load and unload cargo, she just let them do it, and if she did too much, it would attract the attention of others. ”

Zhang Yun took the order to leave, and Cai Mao invited the envoy sent by Mi Zhen again, explained the situation kindly, and sent the messenger back to report to Mi Zhen to know. How not to talk about it first, Cai Mao opened a few gifts sent by Mi Zhen at this time, not to mention things like pearls and tortoiseshells, a few exquisite glassware that shimmered in the light, a set of glass tea sets that could be called the best at that time Cai Mao couldn't put it down. When he opened the tea can, there was a high-grade Tieguanyin inside, and the bursts of aroma tempted Cai Mao to immediately go to make tea and taste it.

"The God of Wealth is the God of Wealth, and it is not an ordinary magnanimity! If such a person is offended, isn't it impossible to get along with his own money? Moreover, Mi Zhen has not personally led the caravan to Jingzhou several times, but this time she came in person, and once she came to give such a big gift, the business to be done must be very large...... It's a pity that the timing is not quite right, otherwise I would have rushed over immediately, and now I will stabilize her place. ”

Thinking of Mi Zhen's delicate appearance and seductive figure for no reason, Cai Mao couldn't help but move her index fingers, and let out a burst of lewd laughter: "People are also a big beauty...... Well, just think about it, if you make Lu Ren angry, you will be unable to get along with money. Hmph, for the sake of being able to bring me huge profits from Lu Ren, I will rob you and put you in the room...... Okay, for the sake of money, I'll let you go, anyway, I have wives and concubines around me. ”

After thinking about these Cai Mao****, he hummed a little song to find his recently favored beautiful concubine to vent his desires.

――――――――――――――――――――

It was already dark, but the dock was still brightly lit. Although Liu Biaofang died soon after the funeral, the people only banned entertainment and festive things, and it was impossible to prohibit the mutual market transactions between businessmen and merchants that were related to people's livelihood, and the tavern teahouse was still the same and prosperous. It is true that places such as brothels and song and dance shops in Qinglou are closed, but some regular customers can still sneak in quietly through the back door, find the woman they like and hide in the room to drink and have fun, as long as they don't make too much noise, no one will pay attention.

The dock that docked at Mizhen's caravan was much quieter than the rest, and the guards of the caravan were on guard around carefully, and they would change shifts every two hours. One is that the vigilance is relatively strict, and the other is that the Mi caravan is too famous, and those chaotic people don't dare to rely on themselves to find trouble. Occasionally, patrolling soldiers would pass by, that is, just say hello to the leader of the tribe. Of course, the leader of the trilogy will also stuff a little tea money or something, everyone knows how to behave.

Mi Zhen didn't stay in the cabin, there was wine and pastries on the table next to her, and she really enjoyed it like that. And Zhuge Liang and his wife were inconvenient to appear in front of people, so they were both hiding in the cabin at the moment. Mi Zhen generously took a sip of the wine jug, looked at the pair of in-laws and smiled: "Is this retribution?" Your plan to keep me locked up for days, and now it's like locking you up. Who made it inconvenient for you to appear before men? ”

Huang Yueying said with a smile: "It can make Mrs. Mi's heart feel much more comfortable, and it's nothing for my wife to suffer a little." Besides, our husband and wife now have good wine and food to serve, and they are in a gorgeous boat, and there is a pleasing picture of a beautiful woman lying on wine in front of us, which is really a pleasure rather than a sin. ”

Mi Zhen pursed her lips and said slightly: "Don't say it, don't say it, Mrs. Huang, your mouth is really too powerful." I wanted to make fun of you, but instead I turned out to be like you scolded me with clever words, but I still can't get up. ”

Huang Yueying said: "There is no other intention to feel it for a while, Mrs. Mi must not be careful. If there is an offense between the words, Yueying will punish herself with three cups of apology. ”

Zhuge Liang shook his fan, and his head shook as well. He couldn't interject in the conversation between women, what else could he do but shake his head?

After Huang Yueying punished herself for three cups, Mi Zhen asked with a straight face: "Mr. Zhuge , as you expected, Cai Mao will not come to the boat for the banquet, so what should we do next?" ”

Zhuge Liang muttered: "Xian Shiliang has sent a detailed work to find out that Liu Jingzhou's coffin is placed on the top of the mourning hall in Fuzhong, and the burial place is selected in the Hanyang Plains in the east of Xiangyang City. And Cai Mao's henchmen, except for a small number of people who stayed in the city, the rest have disappeared, Liang must have been sent by Cai Mao to the burial place to ambush and prepare, but Cai Mao is inconvenient to do in the city, and Cai Mao will be angry if he makes a move. If Liang had predicted that most of the soldiers in ambush would have pretended to be thieves who had crossed the river, attacked and killed the lord in the name of looting the funeral property, and once he succeeded, he would retreat across the river, and maybe he would blame the crime on Soochow. ”

Mi Zhen's face changed color slightly: "What a vicious strategy!" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The lord came to Xiangyang for the funeral, and it was inconvenient to bring more people and horses, and bringing more would give people the tongue to try to seize Jingzhou, so he just brought 3,000 elite foot soldiers." By the time Liu Jingzhou was buried, most of them could only bring some personal soldiers to escort them, and most of the men and horses would still be left in Xiangyang to wait. Although the lord is experienced in a hundred battles and has excellent martial arts, he is afraid that he will be outnumbered by that time, and Cai Mao is determined to take the life of the lord, if he is in the scheme, he is afraid that there will be no possibility of survival. ”

"Then you still let Uncle Liu Huang come!?"

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Whether the lord can enter the lord of Jingxiang is all in this move, the risk must be taken, and Liang is not fully prepared and does not dare to let the lord take this risk." Guan Yunchang bravely crowned the three armies, if he was by the lord's side, he would definitely be able to make the lord worry-free. It's just that according to Liang's expectations, Cai Mao will definitely use the excuse that the main army left in Xiangyang needs to be led by a general, and the general Guan will stay. ”

"Huh!? Sir, don't sell it anymore, I'm all shocked here. ”

Zhuge Liang was quite satisfied with his unintentional prank, shook his fan and continued: "It's okay! The third general, Zhang Yide, should have already set off from Jiangxia at this moment, and as long as there is no accident, he will definitely be able to arrive in time. Considering the fire-like character of the three generals, I deliberately sent someone to Xinye to transfer Zhao Zilong first. Zhao Zilong was cautious and cautious, calculating the distance, and now he should rush to Hanyang to ambush him. ”

Mi Zhen took a long time before slowly speaking: "Mr. Wolong really deserves his reputation!" Cai Mao's battle of wits with you is simply self-inflicted. No wonder my husband once said to me, you must be careful when you encounter Zhuge Kongming, and if you are not careful, you will suffer a big loss. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Brother Lu Xian praises falsely, I really don't dare to take it!" These tactics are nothing more than carving insects. ”

Mi Zhen pursed her lips again, thought for a while and asked, "According to Mr.'s expectations, the war should be outside the city, so what's the use of the thousands of soldiers lurking in the fleet?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Mrs. Mi, do you think that General Guan's more than 2,000 soldiers alone can control the important places in Xiangyang City?" The war outside the city is together, to seize the Xiangyang Mansion, besiege the mansion of Cai Kuai and the two clans, and to control the henchmen of Cai Kuai and the two clans, the troops are inevitably too tight. Some of the 4,000 elites lurking in the ship were going to support General Guan, another part was going to seize the east gate, and a small part was to create chaos in the city, so that the defenders of Xiangyang could not move normally. If General Guan also goes out of the city with the lord, then all the men and horses here will be used to seize the east gate, and General Zhao's men and horses will be welcomed into the city first. ”

"In that case, who will lead the troops here?"

"Liu Feng, the righteous son of the lord, he is in the wingman boat behind, living with the soldiers."

Mi Zhen said: "Liu Gongzi is also in the team!?" I didn't even know about it, so I was afraid that I would lose my courtesy. Or I'll go back and make up for it. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Let's talk about it after the matter is completed." Liu Fengwu is brave, and he can treat soldiers well, and soldiers can use their lives for him, and he is really a good general. At the beginning, Liu Feng was not allowed to meet Mrs. Mi to celebrate the ceremony, but in fact, he was afraid that Mrs. Mi would have concerns and would not be able to do this trick. Even if it's me, didn't I invite the good wife out to persuade Mrs. Mi to you? ”

Mi Zhen said: "That's what I said! But sir, you are really good at finding people, most people will find my eldest brother to persuade me when they encounter this kind of thing, but they don't know that my eldest brother will definitely be scolded by me when he meets me, and he will break up with me in anger, so this plan will be difficult to achieve. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled without saying a word, while Huang Yueying shook her head and smiled apologetically at Mi Zhen.

At this time, one of Mi Zhen's female guards asked to see her outside the door, and after entering the room, she whispered something in Mi Zhen's ear, and Mi Zhen frowned. After signaling the female guard to retreat, Mi Zhen said to Zhuge Liang: "Sir, Cai Mao has sent someone to secretly monitor my fleet, but I am afraid that the soldiers in the ship will not be able to get off the ship." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Expected. Cai Mao is not incompetent, and now that the big thing is imminent, it is strange that he is careless. Liang is also afraid that he will not send someone to spy on him, if no one comes, Liang will not be able to figure out what Cai Mao's intentions are, and this plan will not be successful. ”

Mi Zhen said: "Oh? What are we going to do now, sir? ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan, and the god was full of elegant and handsome wind, and Huang Yueying next to him looked at Zhuge Liang with a very appreciative gaze. Seeing that Mi Zhen's heart was a little sour, she said in her heart: "The good guy is really far worse than the human Kong Ming...... Uh, what do I think that? ”

But after seeing Zhuge Liang laughing, he got up and bowed to Mi Zhen to the end: "Now please ask Mrs. Mi to send a message, and let the sailors and shipwrights start loading and unloading all kinds of goods on the ship and in the shops in the city." ”

"Now loading and unloading the cargo!? Oh, I get it! ”

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and their smiles were different...... (To be continued.) )
