Cao Ming's heart kept repeating this sentence, she was afraid that she would be soft-hearted at the critical moment, and it was unknown how Sun Ce would send herself down at that time.
"Meet the mother." Sun Ce was already waiting outside the mansion, and there were still a number of officials of all sizes standing beside him, as well as the armor soldiers in charge of security work.
After three days, Sun Ce has grown from a young general to a Taishou who can take charge of himself, both in terms of momentum and figure, which is much stronger than in the past.
"Wu Hou is exempt." Cao Ming learned from Tai Shici's mouth that Sun Ce had been sealed by the imperial court, thinking that it was Cao Cao's act of appeasement.
"I haven't seen her for a long time, but my mother is still shining." Sun Ce's eyes were very gentle, and there was some concern in them.
Cao Ming turned his gaze to the side and explained his intention: "General Sun doesn't have to please me, I didn't come to Wu County to talk about business, but to visit here." β
Now it is the time of war, and the queen came all the way to Wu County, but it was for fun.
The surrounding officials were silent, and the bolder ones dared to observe Cao Ming, because no one could guess the queen's thoughts now, so they could only look at Sun Ce's face and act.
"I'll order someone to show you around the county tomorrow." Sun Ce had a difficulty in his heart, it stands to reason that when he accompanied the queen to play, the magistrate must not refuse.
"It doesn't take up much of the general's time, so it's better for you to accompany me personally." Cao Ming deliberately raised her voice to express her dissatisfaction with Sun Ce.
"And where do you want to go?" Sun Ce knew that Cao Ming wanted to delay time and win the opportunity for Cao Cao to change his deployment, and he would not be able to take advantage of it at that time.
Cao Ming replied: "I'm not a person who likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, I heard that there are many birds and animals in Wu County, and hunting should be a good choice." β
"I'll take care of it." Sun Ce also happens to like hunting, but he has been busy with official duties recently, so he can't spare time at all.
Cao Ming added: "There is no need to arrange carefully, we will bring five entourages, and half a day's dry food is enough." β
"It's all up to you." Sun Ce thought that with his own skills and the assistance of five retinues, he was enough to deal with emergencies.
At the banquet, Cao Ming didn't have the heart to eat at all, so he made an excuse to go back to the room after a few glasses of wine.
The protagonist left the scene early, and the officials were nervous, thinking that the place was not well entertained, which made the queen unhappy.
Sun Ce saw that Cao Ming had something on his mind, otherwise he wouldn't have left early, maybe he should have asked.
Cao Ming's room is very gorgeous, it was originally used by Sun Ce to honor his mother, but now he has to give it up and serve as a palace for the queen.
"Knock knock!" As soon as Cao Ming sat down, there was a knock on the door, and he didn't have to guess to know that it was Sun Ce.
"If the mother is not well, I will go to the doctor." Sun Ce saw that Cao Ming didn't reply, thinking that the other party was sick.
Cao Ming held the medicine bottle in her hand and fell into deep thought, she was very conflicted in her heart now, maybe she didn't have to wait until tomorrow, she could drug him now.
At critical moments, people will become hesitant, especially if they want to do bad things, they will be entangled.
After a while, Cao Ming said, "I'm in good health, so please go back!" β
In the end, reason prevailed, but Cao Ming still didn't have the courage to start, after all, this is someone's territory, and it is not easy to run.
Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief: "Ming'er, if there is anything you can talk to me about, it's easy to get sick if you hold it in your heart." β
Cao Ming smiled bitterly: "If heart disease can be treated with medicine, it will not be the most difficult disease to treat." β
People are most uncomfortable in a dilemma, no matter which side they help, they will not be able to get away with it.
Sun Ce understood: "I know that Cao Cao asked you to explore the truth and see if I have the idea of competing with him." β
Cao Ming thought Sun Ce was too naΓ―ve: "Then you guessed wrong, I came here out of selfishness, I just want to visit my old friends." β
Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You also know that I am loyal to the imperial court wholeheartedly and have no thoughts of anything wrong. β
Of course, Cao Ming knew that Sun Ce was lying, and those who were familiar with this period of history knew that Sun Ce's ambitions and ambitions were no worse than Cao Cao's.
Seeing that Cao Ming didn't say anything, Sun Ce thought that the other party didn't believe his words, and wanted to add more, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Cao Ming ordered the eviction of guests: "I know your intentions very well, if there are other things, I will talk about it on the road tomorrow." β
"Then you have a good rest, I'm leaving." Sun Ce's mood was very lost, maybe Cao Ming would never give him a chance again.
As a young general, Sun Ce's patience was not very high, and if he persevered a little longer, the outcome would be completely changed.
Early the next morning, Cao Ming saw two fast horses, five strong retinues, and a carriage for prey.
Sun Ce personally led a horse: "This is all prepared according to your instructions, are you still satisfied?" β
"Yes, you kid grows up fast." Cao Ming's idea was satisfied, and he specially praised Sun Ce.
Sun Ce's face changed slightly, and he whispered: "You are a queen now, and you can't speak like a ruffian." β
"Ahem, just because I didn't say it." When Cao Ming was on the rise, it was easy to expose her previous problems.
Sun Ce deliberately patted his chest, saying that he would not say it, and asked Cao Ming to put his heart in his stomach.
There is no fixed hunting ground in Wu County, and after Cao Ming and the others set off, they were first led by hunters who were familiar with the surrounding environment, and then they could determine a good hunting location.
Along the way, Cao Ming's eyes were all on Sun Ce, the identity of the queen is the best cover-up, even if someone sees her committing murder, she can be said to be injured by mistake, and what she needs now is the best venue.
It didn't take long for Orion to point to the woods ahead and say, "General, there are enough beasts in this vicinity to hunt." β
"The rest of the people stayed, and General Sun and I went in first." Cao Ming decided to split his subordinates so that his next action would be easier.
"All obey the orders of the mother." Sun Ce did not object, he hunted alone on weekdays, and he was not used to the many people around him.
The entourage did not know what Sun Ce was thinking, so they had to follow his orders and wait in place until the end of the hunt.
"Drive!" Cao Ming rushed into the woods first, and she needed to lure Sun Ce into the woods before she could wait for an opportunity to attack.
Sun Ce had never seen this formation, and he normally traveled slowly while hunting, for fear that the prey would be disturbed.
The entourage was also shocked to watch, how this hunting is the same as horse racing, as if whoever is fast is the prey.
"Mother, don't be so anxious!" Sun Ce didn't think much about it, and rushed into the woods, and it didn't take long for him to disappear into the woods. (To be continued.) )
