The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 82 Challenge
Xiangyang Taishou Mansion.

Guan Yu stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back, a beautiful beard under his chin glowing softly like silk in the sun.A pair of slender red phoenix eyes looked at a pair of sons and daughters who were competing in martial arts in the court.Guan Feng, who was seventeen or seventeen years old, held a saber in his hand and pressed forward step by step. Guan Ping was sweating profusely.Guan Ping held the saber in both hands, barely holding the sword that Guan Feng was striking, and smiled wryly: "Sister, don't work so hard, okay?"

"Zhu Zi, you are not as skilled as a human being, and you still have the face to speak. Is it possible to beg for mercy from your opponent on the battlefield?" Guan Yu snorted unhappily, and opened his eyes to curse.Guan Ping's face was flushed, and he had no choice but to withdraw the knife embarrassingly and stand aside.Guan Feng panted slightly, her white face was healthy and rosy, she handed the knife to the soldier next to her, walked up to Guan Yu and cupped her hands: "Father, brother has been working hard recently, and the progress is very obvious, father should praise you That’s right, why take too much responsibility.”

"Praise him?" Guan Yu was angry and funny, but his beloved daughter begged for mercy, so he didn't want to lose face, so he just glanced at Guan Ping and said, "He is a man who has fought on the battlefield for so many years. The law is still mediocre, it really lives up to its name.”

Guan Ping wiped off his sweat in embarrassment, and said with a smile, "So, you can't blame me. My father named me Ping, and I'm naturally mediocre. I named my sister Feng. Of course, I'm a dragon and a phoenix among people."

Guan Yu glared at him angrily: "Go away, I'm worthless, and I'm the one to blame instead."

Guan Ping was not angry either, he smiled at Guan Feng and walked out with his personal guards.Guan Feng accompanied Guan Yu into the main hall and sat down. He poured tea and said with a smile: "Father, in fact, brother is not as bad as you think. In front of him, he is so inconspicuous."

A smile appeared on the corner of Guan Yu's mouth. With his beard in one hand, he picked up the cup with the other, took a sip, and said with some regret, "Yinping, it's a pity that you are a woman, otherwise it would be great."

Guan Feng said with a smile: "Brother is not doing badly by Father's side."

"As for your elder brother, you have filial piety, but your ability will be weaker after all." Guan Yu shook his head: "Otherwise, why should I let Mi Fang's son guard Jiangling? If you are a man, you can sit in Jiangling for me, you must be able to Keeping my rear safe, why would I sit here? I have already gone to Xu County."

Guan Feng smiled lightly and didn't speak.She knew that this was Guan Yu's heart disease, and she couldn't bring it up, so Guan Yu could only talk to himself, if it was boring, then let it go, otherwise he would get angry when he talked about it.

"Father, how is Cao Jun's situation in Berkshire?" Guan Feng intentionally or unintentionally put aside the subject.

"It's okay." Guan Yu said with a bit of interest: "Your Uncle Yide is confronting Zhang Xi. With his ability, I think Zhang Yun's upright can't take advantage of it."

Guan Feng nodded, but said nothing.

Guan Yu's eyes passed through the pillars and the roofs of the row of houses in front of him, looking at the blue sky.After pondering for a moment, he suddenly said: "If he can take back Hanzhong, the war on the western front will basically be over. Then I can send troops to the north, but... I can't rest assured that Lu Su is in Lukou after all. Now Cao Cao Jiangdong is too busy to take care of himself, if someone can keep my rear safe, I can... oh-"

Guan Feng's slender willow eyebrows frowned, a little regretful, he wanted to pull the topic aside, but his father was still brooding, and brought his thoughts back.She didn't speak.On the issue of dealing with Jiangdong, she and her father Guan Yu have somewhat different views.She feels that although there are some conflicts between Sun and Liu, they are allies after all, and they should restrain each other at the moment, and it is reasonable to be consistent with each other.It's a pity that whether it is the father or the left general Liu Bei, they all regard Sun Quan as their biggest opponent and completely ignore the overall situation.

"Father, Lu Su is a person who knows the general situation, and he will not take advantage of others. Besides, after Jingzhou was re-divided the year before last, didn't we both live in peace?"

"We are safe and sound?" Guan Yu sneered, "These are temporary. Divide Jingzhou? This Jingzhou is the Jingzhou of the Han family. It was acquired by General Zuo from Liu Biao. Why should we divide it with him? Hmph, if it hadn't been for Cao Cao back then It is very urgent to attack Hanzhong, so I led my own army and took the whole of Jingzhou. I am ashamed, General Zuo entrusted Jingzhou to me to guard, but I can't let General Zuo feel at ease. Alas—"

Guan Yu sighed, stroking his beard and shaking his head again and again, the more he thought about it, the more he got angry: "That Bi Yaner still wants to marry me, it's a good thing he can say this, if it weren't for the tense war on the Western Front, I would have asked General Zuo to kill him." This thief."

Guan Feng was sad.She was grateful for her father's sympathy for her love and care, but felt that this was a bit inappropriate.Sun Quan sent someone to marry, which is beneficial to both parties. Even if his father refused, he could only politely refuse. It is not appropriate to speak ill of each other.Sun Quan is a person who is lenient outside and taboo inside, how can he be so humiliated?Although it can't happen right now, it will definitely retaliate in the future.However, she is not easy to persuade, because from her heart, she is also extremely reluctant to marry a child who is only eight years old, just like Sun Quan's sister Sun Shangxiang was unwilling to marry Zuo General Liu Bei. Such a political marriage , what happiness is there?It is difficult for her to choose between her father's love for her and the needs of the overall situation.

The personal guard Zhao Lei hurried in: "General, there is an envoy from Jiangdong."

"The emissary of Jiangdong?" Upon hearing the word Jiangdong, Guan Yu's temper became bad: "Who is it? What's the matter?"

"Well, it's Zhang Zhao's son, Zhang Cheng, and there's another one..." Zhao Lei looked at the famous badge in his hand: "Sun Shao, captain of Chenglie."

"Zhang Cheng?" Guan Yu ignored Sun Shao, raised his eyebrows, and immediately became angry. "What's the matter with him?"

"It is said that I want to go to Chengdu to meet General Zuo, so I passed by here, and I came here to meet General Zuo, and please appropriate Guan Chuan." Zhao Lei was a little hesitant, looking at Guan Yu with some fear in his eyes, he glanced at Guan Feng, and then turned Eyes drooped.Guan Yu looked into his eyes and understood immediately. He sneered and curled his lips in disdain: "Are they going to Chengdu to propose marriage to General Zuo?"

Zhao Lei nodded in embarrassment, knowing that his cover-up was unsuccessful.

"Zhu Zi, you dare to use General Zuo to suppress me?" Guan Yu was furious, Huo De stood up, his tall body was like a god of war, and looked down at Zhao Lei: "Go and tell him that it is useless to go to Chengdu. How can my Guan Yu's daughter marry the dog of the Sun family? Let him die!"

Guan Yu's voice was so full of energy that the blue tiles above his head seemed to be making noises. Zhao Lei's forehead was beaded with sweat. He wanted to persuade him but didn't dare to persuade him.Guan Feng wanted to go up to stop Zhao Lei, but his feet couldn't move, as if stuck to the ground, he couldn't move, and his mouth seemed to be glued by fish glue, so he couldn't make a sound.

Guan Yu was still angry, turned around suddenly, and swept his arms across the pillar. The pillar groaned and shook violently. Several pieces of blue tiles fell to the ground and smashed into pieces. Terrified.

Zhao Lei went out, bowed his hands to Zhang Chenggong very ashamedly, and tactfully explained Guan Yu's meaning.Zhang Cheng frowned, feeling a little surprised, he just said he was going to Chengdu, and didn't say he wanted to propose marriage, but Guan Yu flatly refused, and didn't even give a pass on Guan Yu, this seems too overbearing, right?A courtier dares to block the envoy of an ally, what kind of courtier is this?
Zhang Chengzheng was about to see him again, but Sun Shao, who had been standing behind him, lowered his face, walked forward, and looked at Zhao Lei with a half-smile: "Master Zhao, was that your general the one who roared just now?" ?”

Zhao Lei glanced at Sun Shao, straightened his waist, and his face was a little ugly.You are a kid with no hair on your mouth, and you are a deputy envoy. What qualifications do you have to speak here?He hadn't had a seizure yet, but Sun Shao sneered again: "Sun Shao is not talented. He dared to ask General Guan for advice because of the unworthy son of the Sun family. Foot combat, horse combat, martial arts, and Confucianism are all designated by General Guan. Those who come from Sun Shao Not to refuse." He pulled the cloak on his body, twisted his arms a few times, then rolled them into a ball, threw them into the arms of Jiexia Shuaizeng, and said with a sneer, "I'd like to see what the Guan family has. Tiger girl, how dare you despise my son of the Sun family like this. Come, give me a shout in Xiangyang City, and tell me that the son of the Sun family has come to seek advice from the ten thousand enemy General Guan."

Shuai Zeng responded, and turned around to make arrangements.All this happened so fast that not only Zhao Lei hadn't reacted yet, but even Zhang Cheng was stunned, and those Jiangdong soldiers were also dumbfounded.Sun Shao was furious, turned around and yelled again, the soldiers came back to their senses, and hurried away, shouting as they ran.Zhao Lei couldn't stop him even if he wanted to, so he quickly looked at Zhang Cheng, but he saw that Zhang Cheng had stepped aside expressionlessly, putting on an attitude of being irrelevant and hanging high.
