Chapter 359
Cao Miao didn't ask again.
Judging from Sun Qing's expression, this matter is definitely not groundless, but Sun Qing can't explain the inside story clearly. Sun Luban is very nervous, and Sun Qing is not very scheming. He is used to being rampant and domineering, and is not used to using this kind of operation to figure out people's hearts.
"I understand." Cao Miao smiled. "You should not make any family scandals public."
Sun Qing laughed twice, then felt something was wrong again. "Jun Cao, I didn't treat you as an outsider." She glanced at Sun Luban who was sleeping soundly and drooling on Cao Miao's shoulders. "We, like the princess, have long regarded Cao as our own people. Cao Jun just scolded Duke Hu, we are relieved."
Cao Miao smiled bitterly. "I didn't expect that both belong to Jiefan Camp and served the King of Wu. Hu's hostility would be so obvious."
"There is no way, who made us women?" Sun Qing sighed, feeling a little depressed.
Cao Miao deeply felt the same. Although Mrs. Sun and Sun Luban were both aliens among women, the world had a lot of prejudice against them, or even more. How much price did Mrs. Sun pay for this? That injury was evidence.
However, they should be glad that they live in this era and have the opportunity to speak out. The tragedy of the decline of women's status has not reached the bottom. There are not many people who have written the Three Bonds and Five Constant Days on the same day. The era of cannibalism with ethics has not really come. Until the 21st century, equality between men and women is still not fully realized.
Suddenly, Cao Miao found that he had not remembered the 21st century for a long time, and a feeling of inexplicable sadness surged in his heart.
"You can rest for a while, too." Cao Miao said.
"Oh." Sun Qing responded, sat aside, held his arms and took a nap.
——
After dawn, more people entered Fanshan one after another, and the cordon was pushed ten miles south of Fanshan. Jiefan Camp left the front line and was stationed on the southern foot of Fanshan. As a reserve team, Sun Luban camped on the riverside in the southeast corner of Fanshan, equipped with ten Mengchong and fifty war horses, and was on standby at any time.
This is a special treatment only for princesses. Jiangdong lacks horses, and the proportion of war horses is far lower than that of Wei State. Only the general who usually commands two thousand people will have the chance to get fifty war horses. Sun Luban is named Duwei, but in fact there is only one song of people. Fifty war horses are simply luxurious configurations.
Sun Luban was very excited and immediately took Sun Xiu and others to try the horse.
Cao Miao also followed. When he saw the war horses, Ruhua pulled his sleeves. "Master, these are all Liaodong horses, and they should have just been delivered to you."
Cao Miao was surprised. "Are you sure?"
Ruhua nodded affirmatively. At this time, Sun Luban in the distance called out and asked Ruhua to pass by. Ruhua gave Cao Miao a look and walked over. Cao Miao stood there before he arrived, looking at the Liaodong horses, and a large amount of information came to his mind, mixed.
Shi Caiying sent news that Yinfan might have followed the envoy of Wu to Liaodong. In this way, these war horses were sent back by them, which means that the contact with Liaodong was very smooth and they might have formed an alliance, which would lead to a generous return.
What role does Yinfan play in it? Who is instructed by him and what mission does he bear?
There is too little information and no way to judge. This is the biggest problem at present. It is difficult to act without scripts.
Ruhua led a war horse, and Cao Miao turned over and chased Sun Luban. Sun Luban was in good spirits, and he had almost no impact on his hard work overnight. She sat on the back of the horse, galloping as light as a swallow, and was as heroic as a lady, with a bit of Madam Sun's style. She was just awkward in archery and even shot several arrows, she could not shoot a frightened wild pheasant. She watched the wild pheasant fly into the bushes and disappeared.
This made her feel very bad. When she rushed to Mrs. Sun, she was still holding her face.
After learning the whole story, Mrs. Sun ignored her, called Cao Miao, and asked about the situation of the patrol last night.
Cao Miao briefly explained the situation and did not mention Hu Zong. As the governor of the Jiefang Camp, Mrs. Sun naturally knew the attitude of Hu Zong and others, and did not need him to fan the flames or add fuel to the fire.
"There are no tasks during the day, so hurry up and take a break." Mrs. Sun said: "Just familiar with the environment, don't be too playful."
Sun Luban responded in a depressed voice and rode his horse to go back.
Mrs. Sun frowned and asked Cao Miao, "How is the water nature?"
Cao Miao shook his head. "It's very ordinary." He can swim, but he definitely can't wear such heavy armor. Besides, the water nature that Mrs. Sun said was not limited to whether she could swim, but based on whether she could fight in the water.
"Then you have to be careful, the enemy may not come from the shore, or from the water."
Cao Miao looked at Mrs. Sun in confusion, but Mrs. Sun did not answer, turned her horse's head and headed far away. Cao Miao had no choice but to turn her horse's head and caught up with Sun Luban. Back to the riverside, he got on the stairs, and looked at the pleasure boats that were moving upstream on the river, and suddenly he understood.
Jiangdong was the navy commander. Quan Cong, as a general who commanded heavy troops, had a large number of ships and was used to using ships as a means of transportation. If Aunt Quan came to take revenge, the possibility of taking a boat was much greater than that on land. After succeeding, it would be easier to escape by boat. Go down the water and quickly escape from the alert range of Jiefan Camp. In terms of boat racing, the soldiers under Sun Luban were definitely not as good as Aunt Quan selected rangers and dead soldiers.
For him, on the boat, his martial arts skills were greatly reduced and he was not a match for those people after getting into the water.
Cao Miao thought for a long time and called Liu Chen over while having lunch.
“How is the water nature?”
"It's okay." Liu Chen was proud and smiled. "When His Majesty picks people, he specifically asked to be familiar with the nature of water."
“How long can you travel in the river?”
Liu Chen's face changed. "In the river?"
"Yes, you have to wear armor."
The smile on Liu Chen's face disappeared without a trace, and he shook his head repeatedly. "It will definitely die." He thought for a while and added. "I guess it will sink to the end and I can't swim at all."
"How long can I hold my breath?"
Liu Chen thought about it carefully. "About twenty breaths, no more than thirty breaths at most."
“What if there is a reed tube help?”
Liu Chen's eyes lit up. "That will be much easier. As long as you don't panic at first and don't drink water, it's okay to have a hundred breaths."
Cao Miao nodded and asked Liu Chen to prepare a few reed tubes and carry them with him. He also made some adjustments to the armor. He must remove the armor in a short time after falling into the water and put it in light. In order to make sure that it is best to take time to practice in the afternoon to avoid being in a hurry.
Liu Chen listened carefully and turned around and left.
Cao Miao turned his head to look at the small boats on the river and chuckled softly. He got up and left the cabin and came to Sun Luban, who looked depressed.
"What's wrong? I'm still unhappy about the wild pheasant?"
Sun Luban had already forgotten most of this matter, but when Cao Miao mentioned this, his face suddenly collapsed. Cao Miao waved his hand and signaled Sun Qing and others to go down. Only him and Sun Luban were left in the flying hut. He hugged Sun Luban's waist from behind, pressed against Sun Luban's ear, and said softly:
"What do you think Shangsi Festival does?"
