"What rumor?" Cao Miao looked stunned.

Sun Luban stared at Cao Miao intently, trying to see some clues from Cao Miao's face to judge whether Cao Miao was lying. However, she only saw surprise and confusion on Cao Miao's face, and some uneasiness, but she did not see any trace of concealment.

Sun Luban weighed the gains and losses and decided to ask Cao Miao. If Cao Miao really fled here, he naturally had to express his loyalty, and perhaps he could provide some useful information. The rumors were circulating recently, and the father was very troubled, but he had never found a person who spread the rumors. If she could solve them, she would be willing to make a great contribution.

But this rumor is really vicious and hard to speak. Sun Luban hesitated for a long time before barely speaking.

Recently, there was a rumor in Wuchang that Empress Dowager Wu gave birth to four sons, eldest son Sun Ce, third son Sun Yi, and fourth son Sun Kuang all died young, but Sun Quan lived for a long time, and was nearly fifty-year-old. Moreover, Sun Quan had a blue eyes and purple beard, and had a look of a Hu man. He was very different from other brothers. It was obviously not Sun Jian's bloodline, but was born of Empress Dowager Wu's affair with others.

In order to prove this, the rumor also mentioned that the Sun family's children all have the legacy of Sun Jian, they are brave and good at fighting, and even Madam Sun and a woman are proficient in martial arts. However, Sun Quan was clumsy in using troops and was defeated several times. The battle of Hefei caused heavy casualties, which almost shook the root of Jiangdong.

This rumor is very vicious, but it sounds like it has some truth and can be very confusing. There are many people who believe it and have a great influence.

If the rumors are true, then Sun Quan would not even be called emperor, even the identity of King Wu was not right. The foundation of Jiangdong was laid by Sun Ce. Since Sun Quan did not have the surname Sun, it should naturally be inherited by Sun Ce's descendant Sun Shao, and it has nothing to do with Sun Quan.

After hearing Sun Luban's description, Cao Miao was stunned and frowned. "This rumor is probably targeting not only the King of Wu, but also me."

Sun Luban didn't react for a moment and was furious. "Is it the rumor you spread?"

Cao Miao shook his head. "The reason why I escaped is related to a similar rumor."

He said that he believed what Wang Ji said and thought that Zhong Hui was born by Zhong Yu, and offended Zhong Yao.

Although these two things were his own plan, they did not prevent him from dressing up as a victim, sighing repeatedly, and feeling extremely aggrieved. It really made those who see them sad and those who hear them cry.

Sun Luban was neither sad nor she cried. But she would rather feel sorry for it. These two rumors were similar and suspected of plagiarism. While slandering the King of Wu, they were also suspected of plagiarism. They also suspected of plagiarism. They killed people with a knife and killed two birds with one stone, which was vicious.

"I first arrived in Wuchang, and my foothold was not stable. The pursuit had arrived. The rumors had spread all over the city, which damaged the reputation of the King of Wu." Cao Miao sighed and turned to look at the surging river outside the window. "No one can protect me, Mrs. Sun, and the princess is the same. It seems that I can only spread into the mountains and live in seclusion."

He stood up and bowed to Sun Luban to the end. "Just leave here."

Sun Luban was still thinking, and when he saw Cao Miao leaving, he hurriedly stopped. "Where can you go? You can't go anywhere, just in Wuchang, no, you live in Xishifang. When I find out the truth, find the person who spreads the rumors, and confirm that it has nothing to do with you, you can leave."

Cao Miao smiled bitterly. "I am a desperate person. I can have a seven-foot bed, three meals a day, and I can't stay anywhere. It's a pity that Xi Shifang is the best in Wuchang. If it's because of me, it's a pity that I'm in trouble or even destroyed? Those people can send hundreds of rangers to chase me, and they are determined to be clear. Last time, with Mrs. Sun's subordinates helping me, I was able to escape by chance. Can the princess stay with me ensure my safety?"

Sun Luban couldn't listen to the three words of Mrs. Sun, and immediately shouted in a deep voice: "Since I keep you, I will naturally have to ensure your safety. That's it." As he said that, he waved his hand domineeringly and ordered someone to call the head of Xi Shifang, a middle-aged woman named Quan, to give a few instructions.

Cao Miao had no choice but to return to his seat, with a resigned expression, revealing distrust of Sun Luban's strength, which made Sun Luban itch and wanted to bite people.

The head of the chief asked Cao Miao's number of entourages and arranged three cabins for him, one on the top floor for Cao Miao himself to live. Two on the bottom floor for Ahu, Liu Chen and others to live. Xi Shi Fang is the best pleasure boat in Wuchang, with a large number of guests every day, and generally no permanent residence is provided. If Sun Luban had not arranged it, Cao Miao would not have any three, not even one.

The in charge specifically reminded Cao Miao that it goes without saying that the top floor room is excellent, even the two on the bottom floor are excellent and most people cannot afford to live in.

Cao Miao understood. "Don't worry, auntie, I don't have anything else, I have some money. I will ask someone to pay a month's fee first." He said to Sun Luban again: "One month is enough, right? If not enough, I will order for half a year first."

Sun Luban glared at him, turned to the principal and said, "All the fees are recorded in my account."

The in charge glanced at Sun Luban and did not dare to say anything.

Cao Miao was kind-hearted and accepted it happily.

Sun Luban was very jealous of the two Hu Ji and proposed to transfer it to her again. It didn't matter how much it cost. Cao Miao was embarrassed and refused again and again, so he had to give in and agreed that during his time in Wuchang, he could temporarily lend Zhishu and Ruhua to Sun Luban as her personal servant. But he had a condition that these two people could not borrow at the same time, they could only rotate, and there was no shortage of people around him.

Sun Luban reluctantly agreed and took Zhishu away.

Seeing Sun Luban roaring away with a group of soldiers, Cao Miao went up to the third floor.

The third floor of the pleasure boat is limited, with only five or six cabins. Cao Miao's cabin is in the innermost part, and it has to pass through other cabins when entering and leaving, which is difficult to hide, so it is naturally for the sake of surveillance. In addition, Cao Miao's every move cannot escape the vision of a person who is interested.

Sun Lubanhu, the head of the Huafang, is not a tiger. She is knowledgeable and vigilant enough. She does not leave any opportunity to deal with Cao Miao, and does not even leave space for being alone. Shortly after Cao Miao checks in, she finds a guest in the room opposite, a young scholar with a handsome face, and a graceful demeanor.

Cao Miao could see at a glance that the young man had just moved in, just to monitor him nearby. As for the arrangements made by the head of the principal or Sun Luban's order, it is not clear yet.

Ruhua was still packing her luggage, and the young man came over and bowed and smiled, "I'm down to Qin Bo..."

Before he could finish speaking, Cao Miao came over and closed the hatch door expressionlessly.

Qin Bo was disappointed when he touched his nose, had to touch his nose, smiled embarrassedly, and turned back to the cabin.

Cao Miao looked at the cabin, walked to the bulkhead, gently pushed open the window, opened a crack, and observed the surrounding situation. Outside the cabin was the eaves, and the situation on the deck could not be seen. From the general position, it can be judged that the possibility of slipping out of the window was zero.

Xi Shifang is not only a gentle place, but also a Rouge Well.

But this did not help Cao Miao. He took out a few brocade clothes from his luggage, hung them in front of the window, and then opened the window.

After a while, a merchant ship was so ordinary that it was on the river in the distance that it hung up its sail, turned its bow, and went down the river.
