Chapter 83 Challenge
Xiangyang Taishou Mansion.
Guan Yu stood under the porch with his hands behind his hands, and the lower part of his jaw emitted a silk-like soft light in the sun. A pair of slender phoenix eyes looked at a pair of children who were competing in martial arts in the court. Guan Feng, who was 17 years old, held a war knife and pressed it step by step. The knife method was sharp. Guan Ping was sweating and couldn't stand it. He retreated step by step. Soon he was forced to the wall and had no way back. Guan Ping held the knife in both hands, reluctantly held the knife cut by Guan Feng, and smiled bitterly: "Girl, don't work so hard, okay?"
"Zi Zi, your skills are not as good as people, and you still have the face to talk. Do you have to beg your opponent for mercy on the battlefield?" Guan Yu snorted unhappily, staring at him and was about to curse. Guan Ping blushed and had no choice but to take the knife and stand aside. Guan Feng gasped slightly, and Bai Yu's face was full of healthy ruddy. She handed the knife to the soldiers next to her and walked to Guan Yu and arched her hands: "Father, my brother has been working very hard recently, and his progress is very obvious. Father should praise him. Why blame him too much?"
"Do you still praise him?" Guan Yu was angry and funny, but his beloved daughter begged for mercy, and he didn't want to return his face. He just glanced at Guan Ping and said, "And the person who stood up has been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, but the knife is still plain. It's really like his name."
Guan Ping wiped his sweat awkwardly and said with a smile, "So, it's not my fault. My father named me Ping, and I naturally named my sister Feng. Of course, it's a dragon and phoenix among people."
Guan Yu stared at him angrily: "Get out of here. You're not promising. Instead, it's my fault."
Guan Ping was not angry. He smiled at Guan Feng and went out with his personal guards. Guan Feng accompanied Guan Yu into the main hall and sat down. While pouring tea, she smiled and said, "Father, in fact, my brother is not as unbearable as you think. His martial arts are also countable in the army. It is only in front of thousands of enemies like his father that he is so inconspicuous.
A smile appeared at the corners of Guan Yu's mouth. He held his beard in one hand, picked up the cup in the other, took a sip, and said regretfully, "Silver screen, it's a pity that you are a woman, otherwise it would be great."
Guan Feng smiled and said, "My brother is not bad at his father's side."
"Where's your brother? There is filial piety, but his ability is worse after all." Guan Yu shook his head: "Otherwise, why should I let Mi Fang guard Jiangling? If you are a man who can sit in Jiangling for me, you will be able to keep me worry-free. How can I stay here? I've been killing to Xu County a long time ago.
Guan Feng smiled faintly and didn't say anything. She knew that this was Guan Yu's heart disease. She couldn't mention it. Guan Yu could only talk to herself. It's boring, that's fine. Otherwise, she would be angry when she said it.
"Father, how is Cao Jun's situation in Ba County?" Guan Feng left the topic intentionally or unintentionally.
"It's okay." Guan Yu said with some interest, "Uncle Yide is confronting Zhang He. With his ability, he can't take advantage of Zhang He."
Guan Feng nodded and said nothing.
Guan Yu's eyes passed through the column, crossed the roof of the front row of houses, and looked at the blue sky. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly said, "If he can recapture Hanzhong, the war on the Western Front will be basically over. At that time, I can wave my troops to the north, but... It's just that Lu Su is in Lukou, and I can't rest assured after all. At present, Cao Qian sent troops, and Jiang Dong was too busy to take care of himself. If anyone can keep me safe in the rear, I can... Alas--"
Guan Feng's slender willow eyebrows frowned and regretted it. She wanted to put the topic aside, but she didn't expect that her father was still worried and pulled her thoughts back. She didn't say anything. On the issue of Jiangdong, she and her father Guan Yu have some different views. She felt that although there were some contradictions between Sun and Liu, they were allies after all. At present, they should restrain each other and be consistent with the outside world. Unfortunately, whether it is his father or General Liu Bei, they all regard Sun Quan as their biggest opponents and completely ignore the overall situation.
"Father, Lu Su is a general knowledgeable person, and he will not take advantage of people's danger. Besides, after the re-division of Jingzhou the year before last, weren't we at peace?
"Is everything safe?" Guan Yu sneered: "These are all temporary. Divide Jingzhou? This Jingzhou is the Jingzhou of the Han family. It was obtained by General Zuo from Liu Biao. Why did he divide it from him? Humph, if it hadn't been for Cao's urgent attack on Hanzhong, it would have been right for me to lead a large army and take the whole territory of Jingzhou. I'm ashamed that General Zuo handed over Jingzhou to me, but I couldn't reassure General Zuo. Alas--"
Guan Yu sighed, stroked his beard and shook his head repeatedly. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became: "That Biyan actually wanted to marry me. It's really a pity that he could open this. If the war on the Western Front hadn't been tense, I would have asked General Zuo to destroy the thief."
Guan Feng is gloomy. She is grateful for her father's sympathy for her love, and she feels that this is a little inappropriate. Sun Quan sent someone to get married, which is good for both sides. Even if his father refused, he could only politely refuse. It was inappropriate to say bad words. Sun Quan is a person who is lenient and taboo inside. How can he be humiliated like this? Although there is no attack at present, it is bound to retaliate in the future. However, she is not easy to persuade, because from her heart, she is also very reluctant to marry an eight-year-old child, just as Sun Quan's sister Shang Xiang was unwilling to marry General Zuo Liu Bei at the beginning. What is the happiness of such a political marriage? Between her father's love for her and the need for the overall situation, it makes it difficult for her to choose.
Zhao Lei, the personal guard, hurried in: "General, there is a messenger from Jiangdong."
"The messenger of Jiangdong?" As soon as he heard the word Jiang Dong, Guan Yu had a bad temper: "Who is it? What's the matter?"
"Well, it's Zhang Cheng, the son of Zhang Zhao, and there is another one..." Zhao Lei looked at the business card in his hand: "Captain Sun Shao of Chenglie."
"Zhang Cheng?" Guan Yu directly ignored Sun Shao. When he raised his eyebrows, he suddenly became angry. What's the matter with him?"
"It is said that he is going to Chengdu to visit General Zuo. After passing by, he came to visit the general and ask for the customs." Zhao Lei was a little hesitant, and his eyes were a little afraid when he looked at Guan Yu. He glanced at Guan Feng and then drooped his eyes. Guan Yu looked into his eyes and immediately understood. He sneered and curled his lips disdainfully: "They went to Chengdu to propose marriage to General Zuo?"
Zhao Lei nodded in embarrassment and knew that his cover-up had not been successful.
"Zi Zi, do you dare to use General Zuo to suppress me?" Guan Yu was furious. Huo stood up, and his tall body was like a god of war. He looked at Zhao Lei condescendingly: "It's useless for you to tell him 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 full of breath, and the green tiles above his head seemed to be making a sound. Zhao Lei's forehead was sweaty. He wanted to persuade but did not dare to persuade, so he had to retreat. Guan Feng wanted to go up and call Zhao Lei, but her feet didn't obey. She couldn't move her steps as if they were stuck to the ground, and her mouth seemed to be stuck by fish glue and couldn't make a sound.
Guan Yu was still angry. He suddenly turned around and swept his arm across the cocoon. The cocoon let out a moan and shook violently. Several pieces of green tiles fell to the ground and smashed into pieces, scaring Liao Hua, who had just walked in the main book.
Zhao Lei went out of the door, bowed to Zhang Cheng with great shame, and gently said Guan Yu's meaning. Zhang Cheng frowned and felt a little surprised. He just said that he would go to Chengdu, but did not say that he wanted to propose marriage. Guan Yu refused and didn't even give a pass. This seems to be too domineering, right? A minister dares to stop the messenger of his ally. What kind of minister is this?
Zhang Cheng was about to see him again, but Sun Shao, who had been standing behind him, sank his face and stepped forward, looking at Zhao Lei with a smile: "Lord Zhao, is that roar just now your general?"
Zhao Lei glanced at Sun Shao, straightened up, and looked a little ugly. You are a boy with no hair on your mouth, or a deputy, what right do you have to talk here? Before he had an attack, Sun Shao sneered again: "Sun Shao is not talented. He is a child of the Sun family and dares to ask General Guan for advice. Bu Zhan, Ma Zhan, martial arts and classics are all designated by General Guan, and Sun Shao will not refuse. He pulled the big mantle on his body, swirled his arms a few times, rolled them into a ball, threw them into the arms of the handsome Zeng under the steps, and sneered, "I'd like to see what kind of tiger girl the Guan family has. She dares to despise my grandson's son so much. Come on, shout for me in Xiangyang City, and say that the dog of the Sun family came to ask General Guan for advice.
Shuai Zeng answered and turned around to arrange it. All this happened so fast that not only Zhao Lei did not react, but also Zhang Cheng was stunned, and those Jiangdong soldiers were also stupid there. Sun Shao was furious and turned around and roared again. Only then did the soldiers come to their senses and rushed away, shouting while running. Zhao Lei couldn't stop him. He hurriedly looked at Zhang Cheng, but saw that Zhang Cheng had given aside with a blank face, putting on a posture that didn't matter and hanging high.
