Chapter 321 Literati's Mouth

After sitting in the case, Sun Quan filed the pot on the case and poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Sun.

Mrs. Sun looked at the brown tea soup in the lacquer ear cup, smelled the strong smell of ginger, and frowned casually, rolled her hands in her sleeves, motionless.

Sun Quan looked at her in surprise. "Don't you take a sip?"

"I like to drink tea." Mrs. Sun raised her head, looked at Sun Quan's blue eyes with surprise and fatigue, and said lightly: "Use a glass cup."

Sun Quan was slightly stunned, then waved his hand, called "Ali", and Guli, who was hiding beside him, responded. Not long after, a pot of new tea was delivered and put on the stove. Guli personally changed a glass cup for Mrs. Sun. Mrs. Sun bowed slightly, Guli returned the gift with a smile, and retreated.

Sun Quan looked at Mrs. Sun curiously, watched her carefully rinse the glass cup with hot water, watched her pour out a cup of freshly boiled tea from the pot, watched her hold the cup in both hands, sniff the nose, sniffed a sip of the tea, then closed her eyes and savored it carefully.

"Young sister, you look good today."

"Thank you, Brother Wang. I'm much more relaxed with Dahu's help."

Sun Quan smiled. "I still know that Dahu's child. Whether it can be carved into a tool depends on the craftsmanship of the jade craftsman." A trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to peace. "At present, she can only help you run errands and do some hard work. It takes at least ten years of training to truly share the responsibility for you."

"Brother Wang is wise. But the big tiger has a good life and good materials are used to help you, maybe it will not take ten years."

"You mean Cao Miao?" Sun Quan put away his smile. "Can you confirm his identity?"

Mrs. Sun nodded. "Even if he is a spy, he is not an assassination. Prying into such a conspiracy is more likely to be an open conspiracy."

Sun Quan refused to argue and signaled Mrs. Sun to continue to say that Mrs. Sun would tell her own judgment one by one. After this period of investigation, she believed that the possibility of Cao Miao being a spy was very small, and it should be the truth that she offended Zhong Yao and fled. It was precisely because of this that he was not hostile to the Wei State and hoped that one day he could go back and continue to be his prince.

For such people, coercion and inducement will not work, so they can only cooperate and get what they need.

The starting point of cooperation is the common opponent of Wei and Wu: Shu Han.

Specifically, it was Zhuge Liang. Cao Miao who had always suspected that there was Zhuge Liang's shadow behind Yinfan and was resentful.

Sun Quan pondered for a long time. "What if he was an assassin? I heard that he could kill people without weapons and barely use them."

Mrs. Sun said: "Brother Wang said so well, so for safety reasons, Brother Wang should keep a distance from him in order to ensure perfection."

"His target is me?"

Mrs. Sun said lightly: "He had the opportunity to kill me, but he didn't. If he were an assassin, his target would be someone more noble than me. Who else could there be besides Brother Wang?"

Sun Quan suddenly realized, nodded, and said nothing. He heard Mrs. Sun report several things, including how to resolve Mi Fang’s suspicion, how to deal with those bandits, and how to eliminate the influence of rumors. Mrs. Sun said it in detail, and Sun Quan listened very seriously, asking a question or two from time to time.

Near servants kept appearing outside the hall gate, but were all stopped by Gu Li.

Mrs. Sun reported for nearly an hour and had no taste of tea before she got up and said goodbye. She left the hall gate, glanced at the officials waiting for the report at the steps, smiled faintly, and left.

Sun Quan stood up and paced back and forth in the hall to relieve the soreness and fatigue of sitting for a long time. He looked at Mrs. Sun's tall back and suddenly said, "Ali, have you noticed that she is different from the past?"

Guri bowed with a smile. "Compared to the past, today's wife is more calm."

Sun Quan chuckled. "Yes, she said Cao Miao was the good assistant of the big tiger. In my opinion, Cao Miao was more like her arm. After a Shisha died, she got Cao Miao, and she would not lose." He walked to the gate of the palace and glanced over the faces of more than ten ministers. "Prepare the car and go to the residence of Youquan Hou (Zhang Zhao)."

——

Cao Miao once again went out to learn about Fanying.

This time, I was not riding a car, but riding a horse. Not only Sun Luban, but Mrs. Sun and her big bow.

Along the way, Cao Miao turned his head several times to look at the big bow, with a strange expression. Mrs. Sun saw it, but pretended not to know, and urged the horse to go quickly. The female guard with the big bow followed her step by step to ensure that Mrs. Sun could get the bow at any time.

The same is true for nearly a hundred female guards who accompanied him, everyone carried a bow and arrow, and they were full of murderous intent.

Cao Miao smacked her lips. The intention of the threat was too clear. Hongguoguo was indeed a very suspicious person. Even if he was sincere, she could not completely resolve her vigilance. For this trip, she not only left a scholar, but also used both soft and hard work, allowing Ruhua to accompany Sun Luban, and arranged such a big battle to prevent him from going back on his word and causing trouble.

No matter how good his martial arts are, he cannot face nearly a hundred fully armed female guards, not to mention Mrs. Sun's big bow that can penetrate the cow's head.

When a woman becomes cruel, she is indeed nothing for a man.

Cao Miao followed Mrs. Sun for three days, looked at several places, and finally selected three places as training grounds for the new tactics, one was a forest, one was a lane, and the other was a wetland.

Taking this opportunity, Cao Miao also had a personal experience of the overall operation of Wuchang City. This place is really not suitable as a capital, and even as a military fortress. First, it is inconvenient transportation, and second, it is small and scattered, and the pressure on defense is very high. If the troops are insufficient, there are too many loopholes to be exploited.

Once the war on the Western Front eases, it is inevitable that Sun Quan will return to Jianye.

No matter how they fight, the Wu-Shu alliance is a general trend, at least Sun Quan and Zhuge Liang would not break up when they were alive. After they died... the Three Kingdoms were almost over. But no one expected that it was not the Great Wei who would unify the world in the end, but the Great Jin.

Of course, Sima Yi and Sima Shi are half dead now, so they should not harm the Great Wei.

Thinking of the proud part, Cao Miao laughed out loud, which caused Sun Luban to tilt his head and kept looking at him. Cao Miao frowned and turned to look at the scenery. However, Sun Luban smiled even happier, and thrust his horse over and knocked Cao Miao's arm with a horse whip.

"Tell you something."

"explain."

"Zhang Gongxin wrote a essay. Do you want to listen?"

"Fu?" Cao Miao was stunned for a moment.

Sun Luban cleared his throat and recited it loudly. The Fu was very long. Starting from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, apart from the special characteristics of the founding kings of each generation, such as double pupils and long clarity, are all natural strange phenomena recorded in ancient history. The Fu was written very elegantly, but there were no unusual words, which most people could understand. Of course, Cao Miao could understand it. Isn’t this just defending Sun Quan’s appearance, and by the way, it proves that Sun Quan’s destiny belongs to him and should become the founding monarch of the Great Wu.

Although Sun Ce can fight and lay the foundation for Jiangdong, there are no strange phenomena.

"The literati's mouth is a lie." Cao Miao laughed in silence. "Mr. Zhang should be half of my credit."
