Chapter 440: Two Years Later (2)

Luo Tan pursed her lips. I can't wear this color. I can only appreciate it. She sized up Shen Miao and sighed. No wonder the young men in Spring City are asking Brother Ling and the others about you all day long. Little cousin, you're really getting better and better looking.

This was the 71st year of Ming Qi. Two years had passed, and in these two years, Shen Miao was also slowly growing. Her slightly childish face gradually revealed a delicate outline, and even her cute facial features looked more exquisite. However, her gentle temperament did not change. The more she was like this, the more noticeable her aura became. When she was on the road, people would throw a second glance at her. No wonder Luo Ling and Luo Sa's friends were secretly asking if Shen Miao was married.

Although there were beauties in Spring City, there was no one with such a unique and outstanding temperament.

Luo Qian went forward and placed one hand on the desk in front of Shen Miao. Little Cousin, do you know that His Majesty sent money over again?

That's a good thing. As Shen Miao spoke, she put away the book on the table. Luo Qian's eyes were sharp. When he saw the name of the book, he asked curiously, The Record of the State of Qin? What do you think about the State of Qin?

No comment. I haven't read much of it, Shen Miao replied indifferently.

Luo Sa's eyes flashed. Luo Ling stared at Shen Miao and said softly, We've been allocated money quite a lot lately. Little Cousin, Why do you think that's the case?

He asked Shen Miao for advice very naturally, as if he did not think it was embarrassing to ask a girl who was much younger than him for advice. Of course, the four juniors in the room would not laugh at him. How capable was Shen Miao? This was a question that was worth investigating. However, the four of them tacitly did not tell the elders of the Luo family about Shen Miao's hidden talent, as if they firmly believed that even if Shen Miao had any secrets, she would definitely not harm the Luo family.

It's abnormal. Shen Miao said, The emperor is extremely paranoid. The Luo army is gaining momentum rapidly, and the emperor will definitely try to suppress it. However, not only did the allocated funds not decrease, it even increased. She pondered for a moment and said, I think His Majesty wants something from the Luo army, or he's deliberately putting the Luo army under the limelight. As for what he wants, well, it's about time to pay tribute to Ming Qi, right?

Everyone was stunned. Luo Tan rubbed her chin and said, I think so.

The State of Qin and the Daliang Dynasty will send people to pay tribute to Ming Qi. The State of Qin and Ming Qi are evenly matched, and the Daliang Dynasty is far better than Ming Qi. His Majesty will have some fear, Shen Miao said indifferently. The Shen army is not around. The Xie army is severely injured. Ming Qi doesn't have a formidable general. How can His Majesty accept that?

That's why His Majesty wants to use the Luo family to intimidate the State of Qin and the Liang Dynasty! Luo Tan added.

Shen Miao nodded.

I see As Luo Qian spoke, he looked at Shen Miao with admiration. She was clearly the same age as him, but every time, Luo Qian had a feeling that Shen Miao seemed to be much older than him and was even more mature and reliable than Luo Ling. Shen Miao had never avoided to analyze the situation in the imperial court. Compared to the elders who tended to use euphemistic language to discuss the state matters, Shen Miao was much more straightforward. For example, the elders would never say anything like the emperor being paranoid. The juniors of the Luo family liked to play with Shen Miao and sincerely accepted her as one of them because there was something extremely attractive about Shen Miao. Perhaps the people in the capital were more knowledgeable than the people in Spring City. Shen Miao always knew something they did not know.

That's not necessarily a good thing. Luo Sa frowned. The higher we are, the more painful it will be to fall.
