"What a beautiful little lady! And this temperament is spicy and energetic! Lao Tzu likes it! ”

Maybe it's because he is obsessed, the general actually walked to Mi Zhen's side and stretched out his hand to touch Mi Zhen's face, it seems that he has never done this kind of thing: "What a beautiful little lady!" You must be the person in charge of this caravan, right? A beautiful woman like a flower, running around on the river every day is full of wind and sun, how bitter it is, it's better to ......"

The general stopped suddenly, and when his hand was still more than two feet away from Mi Zhen, the long swords of the female guards beside Mi Zhen had already reached his body. The general was taken aback, but he shouted forcefully: "What a bold man, he dares to face me with a sword!" ”

Mi Zhen snorted, and her tone was like ice: "Blind your dog eyes, dare to be rude to me!" Don't know who I am? Don't say pointing a sword at you, even if I kill you, Liu Jingzhou and General Cai will not embarrass me in the slightest...... A little general, what are you! ”

"You!"

The two female soldiers kicked out at the same time, kicking the colonel out of the distance at once. The general got up embarrassedly, and in annoyance, he just wanted to draw his sword but was held down by his own soldiers: "Million, never!" ”

"What's not to do!"

The pro-soldier may be a little timid, but the timid people tend to be more careful. After returning to his senses, this pro-soldier felt that Mi Zhen was a little familiar, but he didn't remember who it was for a while, after all, Mi Zhen hadn't been to Jingzhou for a long time. Mi Zhen said those words coldly just now, and the soldiers suddenly remembered, and reminded the general in a loud voice: "We can't afford to mess with her!" ”

"Why?"

The soldier whispered in the ear of the general: "She is the wife of Liu Jingzhou's friend Lu Servant, and she is also the sister Mi Zhen of Uncle Liu's account!" And Mi also has business dealings with General Cai Mao Cai, didn't we get into trouble when we provoked her!? ”

The general was scared into a cold sweat at this time, and the other party's origin was really too big. Hurriedly bowed to Mi Zhen and said: "The villain is clumsy, I don't know if Mrs. Mi is coming, and there are many people who have offended Wanwang Haihan!" ”

Mi Zhen said coldly: "Didn't you say that you want to inspect the cargo in the ship?" Go ahead, go check it! But when I go back, I will let my eldest brother and General Cai say that you are still rude to me for your misdeeds on my ship, and see what General Cai will do with you. ”

The general almost didn't kneel down for Mi Zhen: "Miss Mi has a lot, and her subordinates are merciful!" The villain will take people back to the ship! ”

In a panic, he was about to take people back to the boat, but Mi Zhen suddenly shouted: "Stop! ”

A few sailors stopped the general's group, and the general's party had to turn around and bow respectfully to Mi Zhen when he saw that the road ahead was impassable, but his hands were trembling a little: "Mi, Miss Mi, what do you command!?" ”

Mi Zhen said: "If you don't want to lose your official position and lose your life, let your warship go and open a waterway for me!" It's getting late tonight, and I'll probably have someone to unload tomorrow. When you get ashore, go and pass me on, I don't want anyone to disturb my fleet. I have several Yizhou specialties in my fleet, which are ready to be given to General Cai, if something happens...... It was General Cai who was damaged. ”

The general asked a little flatteringly: "Miss Mi needs to be protected by some soldiers?" ”

Mi Zhen snorted coldly again: "No need! If I hadn't put you on board just now, you would have been thrown overboard by my sailors. My subordinates are much more powerful than yours. You don't bother me, it's more than enough to protect me. ! ”

The colonel and his entourage ran back to the warship in disgrace as if they had been pardoned. The sails were raised, and this patrol fleet served as a pioneer for Mi Zhen's caravan. Don't be surprised, when it comes to commerce and trade in this area, no one can compare with the two families of Chaisang Lu and Mi, plus those messy and intricate relationships, who dares to mess with the two caravans? Cai Mao, who is linked to his interests, has already ordered that as long as it is the caravan of the Mi and Lu clans, the navy can only let it go and must not stop it. In the past, these sailors could get some oil and water from the land and millet fleets, but in fact, it was simply the sweetness that the two fleets gave to the navy, in order to make it convenient. As for this greedy general, if it weren't for Mi Zhen's anger, a small bag of gold would still be indispensable to him, it's a pity!

More than 30 paddle wheels docked at the pier is a big event, attracting many people to stop and watch. It's just that there are many sailors coming down from the paddle wheel, each holding a sword to guard the ship, and not let people get closer. The general rushed to ventilate the dock defenders, so that no one would dare to cause trouble—whoever caused trouble was unlucky!

Strict is a little stricter, but the freight of Lu and Mi has always been like this, and today is just a little stricter than in the past, so no one thinks it is strange. After some businessmen learned of this, they quietly paid attention to the Mi shop in Xiangyang City, ready to buy the good things that could make money as soon as possible. After many of the utensils produced in Yizhou were handed over to Mi for sale, the merchants only had to transfer them a little and make several times the profit.

Mi Zhen was dining in her cabin at this time, and Huang Yueying on the opposite side smiled: "Mrs. Mi, you were so fierce just now!" ”

Mi Zhen also smiled: "How can you scare them if you are not fierce?" I don't think anyone will come to trouble in two days, and we must catch up with Uncle Liu Huang, otherwise it will take a little longer, and these soldiers in the ship will not be able to hide from people. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Maybe you don't have to hide anything, how about asking Mrs. Mi to send a name sticker and inviting Cai Mao to come to the boat for a banquet?" I'm afraid he doesn't have the heart to come to this banquet now. ”

That would definitely not come, because Cai Mao's current mind was all focused on Liu Bei and Liu Qi who would rush to Xiangyang in a day......

――――――――――――――――――――

"What? Mi Zhen personally led a caravan from Yizhou to Xiangyang to do business? The caravan has already docked, and you invite me to a banquet in the new boat? ”

Cai Mao was discussing with Zhang Yun in the mansion how to deal with Liu Bei and Liu Qi tomorrow, and the doorman led the messenger sent by Mi Zhen to ask for a meeting, and the name stickers and several valuable gifts were also presented. Cai Mao took the name sticker and looked at it carefully for a while, and the two eyebrows were twisted together. Yes, if you don't come sooner or later, Mi Zhen just popped up at this juncture.

He said a few polite words to the envoy, and sent the messenger to lead the envoy to the guest room to rest and serve tea. Zhang Yun behind the screen turned around and asked hesitantly: "General, is Mi Zhen's big caravan also too coincidental?" We need to beware of fraud. ”

"There's fraud in it?"

Cai Mao thought for a while and shook her head and said, "It's not like that." This Mi Zhen is a female streamer, and she also had a lot of dealings with me when she was selling goods on behalf of Lu Ren in the early years. As far as women are concerned, she is indeed shrewd and capable, but she is very ignorant of officialdom. And it may be that she has been following Lu Ren for a long time, she is very arrogant, and she also sneers at some secular ethics, and she can be said to do her own thing, and others don't want to affect her in the slightest. Don't look at his eldest brother Mi Zhu is Liu Bei's minister, it is unlikely that she wants her to help Liu Bei, because she and Mi Zhu had a split up a few years ago. ”

Zhang Yun thought about it and agreed: "It should be too." Besides, Yizhou is thousands of miles away from Xiangyang, and it will take several months for Mi Zhen's fleet to get here from Yizhou, while Liu Jingzhou was only a few days ago...... before he died. If you want to plot with Liu Bei, I'm afraid that the time will not be right. ”

Cai Mao said: "It's almost, in short, we don't have to pay attention to Mi Zhen, Liu Bei and Liu Qi are the targets we have to deal with with all our strength right now." ”

Zhang Yundao: "But if Mi Zhen wants to arrive in Xiangyang by water, he will definitely pass through Jiangxia, will he meet Liu Bei at that time?" ”

Cai Mao pondered for a moment and then said: "With Mi Zhen's temper, he shouldn't pay attention to Liu Bei, and from the perspective of time, when the messenger who conveyed the news of Liu Biao's death arrived in Jiangxia, Mi Zhen's fleet should have left Jiangxia for nearly two days, and went straight to Xiangyang on the river......"

Saying that, Cai Mao glanced at the bright red name sticker in his hand again, nodded smugly, and said, "It must be so." Look at this post, it's red and red, Mi Zhen must not know that Liu Biao has been dead for several days. If she knew that there was a state funeral in Xiangyang, no matter how bold she was, she wouldn't dare to make a big mistake, so use this red name sticker? ”

During the feudal period in ancient China, the upper ruler hung up, and the area under his jurisdiction generally practiced the so-called great funeral, and the people banned entertainment and festive wedding banquets, and the symbolic red color was also forbidden to be used, and it could not be restored until the so-called mourning period passed.

Zhang Yun said: "No matter what, Liu Bei and Liu Qi will arrive in Xiangyang tomorrow, and the general should be careful." Why don't I send some soldiers to imprison the Mi caravan in the name of protecting the Mi clan caravan first? ”

Cai Mao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't don't, I'm afraid that it will startle the snake and attract Mi Zhen's attention." Although Mi Zhen and Mi Zhu are not in harmony, the two are blood brothers and sisters after all, and I can't tell her that I won't harm Mi Zhu to make her feel relieved. If she finds out that the situation in Xiangyang is not right, she immediately sends someone to report Mi Zhu, which means that Liu Bei will also know, but it will ruin our big thing.

"It is said that you and I don't have to pay attention to Mi Zhu after the big thing, but the key is that Mi Zhen has a Yizhou Lu Ren behind him, and you also know the huge profits we have earned through the relationship between Mi and Lu in recent years. We had better not mess with her like this God of Wealth, and when Jingzhou falls into the hands of you and me in the future, I still count on borrowing the huge financial resources brought by the trade and trade markets of the Lu and Mi clans to deal with the Kuai clan.

"If you come to such a hand, most of you will offend Mi Zhen, with Mi Zhen's little woman's grudge mentality, say a few bad words to Lu Ren, if you don't know Lu Ren, you will choose other families to join forces, then the wealth I lost is not a little bit. In case he chooses the Kuai family, after the Kuai family is prosperous, he will compete with my Cai family for Jingzhou. ”

Zhang Yun nodded yes.

Cai Mao thought for a while and said: "In this way, I will send Fu Mizhen's envoy back first, and say that Liu Biao died of illness a few days ago, and I can't take time out to take care of the funeral, so I ask her to live in Xiangyang City for a few days, and when the funeral is over, I will naturally go to her to talk about business, so that I should be able to stabilize her." You can send some more shrewd subordinates to secretly keep an eye on Mi Zhen's caravan. ”

Zhang Yundao: "The big thing is coming, without further ado, I'll do it now." (To be continued.) )
