Chapter 246 Challenge

On the Yellow Crane Tower.

King Sun Quan of Wu stood with his hands behind his back, and Mrs. Sun stood aside with a dark face and a melancholy look.

They stood here for a long time, watching the sunset illuminate the river, like a golden dragon, gradually fading away, and darkness shrouded the earth.

The night wind gradually rises, making people feel cold all over.

Sun Quan sighed quietly. "Little sister, go. Be sure to find out the person who spreads the rumors, and don't let the rumors spread."

"Here." Mrs. Sun bowed to take the order, took a step back, and turned downstairs. Her steps were very steady, neither rush nor slow, which made people feel inexplicably at ease. Sun Quan's mouth trembled slightly, stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, and then he remembered the hateful rumor, and his mood suddenly became very bad, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"hateful!"

The footsteps sounded again, and the close servant Gu Li slowly went upstairs, holding a buckle in his hand. He walked behind Sun Quan, put on a buckle for Sun Quan, and whispered: "King, the wind on the building is cold, don't catch a cold. The New Year is approaching, and there are many things to do, so the king can't be tired."

Sun Quan responded but did not leave. "Ali, is there anyone asking for a meeting again?"

Gu Li nodded and looked at Sun Quan sympathetically. Sun Quan could hide for a while, but could he stay for a lifetime? Those people were very determined. Even if Sun Quan could hide today, they would still come tomorrow.

After the news that Sun Quan intended to be emperor came out, the civil and military officials all started to think about fighting for the greatest benefit in this feast. Where to build the capital has become a crucial issue. There is hope that Sun Quan will return to Wu County, there is hope that Sun Quan will return to Jingkou, and more people will hope that Sun Quan will return to Jianye, and of course there is hope that Wuchang will also be hope that Sun Quan will return to Jianye.

The purpose behind this is very complex, but tracing the root cause is nothing more than the word "interest".

Nearly thirty years since he succeeded to the throne in the fifth year of Jian'an, he has long been accustomed to this kind of profit calculation, and it can even be said to be easy to do. Countless people were played with by him. But now, he gradually felt powerless. A few years ago, Zhang Wen, the Ji Yan case, was like a thorn, and it was a slight pain, which made him unwilling to see those Wujun families, and would rather stand here to blow the wind.

He is not forgiving his age. In a few years, he will be in his fifties and his energy is obviously not as good as before. Every time he meets the minister, he always feels indescribable fatigue.

"Tu tu tu..." The rapid footsteps sounded, breaking the tranquility.

Sun Quan frowned and looked back at Gu Li. Gu Li turned his ears and listened, and suddenly laughed and said, "Master, it's the Great Princess."

"It's a big tiger." Sun Quan turned anger into joy.

——

Mrs. Sun stepped on the horse and looked back at the Yellow Crane Tower standing in the night. Thinking of the scene of Sun Luban running on the stairs, she frowned secretly. She met Sun Luban downstairs, but Sun Luban didn't say hello to her and went straight upstairs.

This made her very uncomfortable.

Not to mention Sun Luban, no one in Jiangdong civil and military affairs dared to be so rude. Even when Sun Luban's deceased husband Zhou Xun was alive, he was polite and respectful to her. As a junior, Sun Luban was so arrogant in the public court, it would be too much.

Find an opportunity to knock on her.

Mrs. Sun kicked down the mountain, and several young female guards followed closely. It was getting late and there were no people on the road, so they galloped all the way. Back to Jiefan Camp, the soldiers watching were already seeing her flag and signaling loudly that a general trotted over and opened the camp gate. Mrs. Sun ran into the camp without stopping, but slowed down.

When she returned to the public hall, Mrs. Sun saw Shisha standing outside the door before she got off the horse. Shi Nuo couldn't help but snorted. She turned over and dismounted and walked into the door with big strodes.

Shisha, Shinuo quickly followed. "Madam."

"Where are those surrendered to Wei State?"

"He...will not come."

"Don't come?" Mrs. Sun stopped suddenly, her eyes stern. She was already very uncomfortable when she saw Shi Sha appear but did not take the Wei Kingdom surrender. She was even more furious when she heard this reason.

What qualifications are you to show off when you surrender? You mainly ask for my protection, not me who invites you.

Shi Sha was nervous and didn't know what to say. She violated Mrs. Sun's military order and wanted to kill Cao Zun, but Cao Miao and Cao Zun made a move, with more than half of the casualties. Cao Miao changed his mind and refused to meet Mrs. Sun, which was probably related to her mistake.

But in this way, she dared not tell Mrs. Sun. With her understanding of Mrs. Sun and her anger at the moment, it would be extremely unwise to tell the truth that it was like adding fuel to the fire.

"Madam, Cao Miao has changed his mind and wants to do business and support himself, so he will not be hiding his wife."

"Use me?" Mrs. Sun sneered: "Without my consent, can he do business in Wu? Pass on my orders, detain him, and close him for a while before talking about it."

"Here." Shi Sha bowed to accept the order, then winked at Shi Nuo and ordered her to do it.

Shi Nuo understood it, turned around and presented the prepared documents, asked Mrs. Sun to sign and leave in a hurry.

Mrs. Sun quickly came to the hall and asked a few questions about Shisha's answer to Cao Miao. Shisha didn't dare to tell the truth, but only said that she had encountered a large number of people who came to intercept Cao Miao. She led her troops to fight fiercely and made a lot of sacrifices before she could pick up Cao Miao in.

Mrs. Sun was furious. The Wu army paid such a great price for Cao Miao, but Cao Miao didn't even see him. He really didn't know the matter. He thought this was Luoyang, was he still a royal family? This was Wuchang, and he was just a homeless surrender.

Mrs. Sun had a lot of affairs and had no time to ask in detail. Once Shisha Bie found Cao Miao, she would bring her to see her. Cao Miao would come if she was willing to come, and if she didn't want to come, he couldn't help but decide. Shisha took the order and retreated, wiped her cold sweat, and secretly rejoiced.

Although doing this is a bit sorry for Cao Miao, she has no other choice for her future. She gave Cao Miao a warrant, not really trying to help Cao Miao, but to grasp Cao Miao's whereabouts. Even if Cao Miao could leave behind the person she arranged, he had to use this warrant to pass. By checking the relevant records of Jin Shu, he would know his whereabouts and easily find him.

But Shi Sha's idea soon fell out. Shi Nuo replied that not only was the person she arranged was thrown away by Cao Miao, but Shi Nuo took Mrs. Sun's warrant and searched every nearby Jinshu, but found no shadow of Cao Miao. He only found an empty ship in a hidden river bay.

Cao Miao, with eight followers, disappeared out of thin air with a huge sum of money.

After receiving Shi Nuo's reward, Shi Sha realized that he was in trouble. This was no longer a question of whether Cao Miao could be found and reported to Mrs. Sun. Cao Miao was obviously responding. He was challenging the abilities of relevant institutions and personnel in Jiangdong, especially Jiefanying.

If Cao Miao cannot be found, and Cao Miao will disappear without a trace, Jiefan Camp will inevitably be faced without a trace. Once the news spreads, the three governors of Jiefan Camp, including Mrs. Sun, will face accusations from civil and military ministers, and Mrs. Sun, who serves as a woman, will be the first to be affected.
