Chapter 230 Chapter 235, Miss Guan is so powerful
In Jiangling City, Guan Feng was patrolling with a group of family soldiers when a clerk from the prefectural governor's office suddenly came hurriedly, bowed, and said:
"Miss Guan, Governor Mi wants you to go to his residence to discuss matters."
"Ask me to discuss matters?" Guan Feng asked in surprise, "I have no official position, why would Governor Mi ask me to discuss matters?"
Although Guan Feng commanded 500 family soldiers and was assigned the task of assisting in the defense of Jiangling, she did not hold an official position. She could only be regarded as the leader of Guan's private soldiers and was not qualified to participate in the meetings of the prefectural government.
Furthermore, Mi Fang had a strained relationship with her father, and the two families had never had any private contact. She was young and a girl, so even if Mi Fang encountered difficulties and needed help from someone, he should not ask her for advice.
The clerk said, "I don't know why the governor wanted to ask Miss Guan to discuss matters. But the governor received a secret report from the Xiangfan front. After reading the letter, his expression changed drastically. I guess something happened at the front..."
"Something happened on the Xiangfan front?"
Guan Feng was shocked and did not bother to ask more questions. He ordered the team of family soldiers to continue patrolling, and he followed the clerk to the prefect's mansion.
Jiangling is the rear base and the city has always been stable.
She was a skilled and courageous woman, and she was also the daughter of Guan Yu. In her opinion, she was the most dangerous person in Jiangling City. Given Mi Fang's identity, even if he had a tense relationship with her father, he would never harm her. Therefore, she did not even bring a guard with her. All the way, she was just wondering what was happening on the front line.
Since her father launched the Northern Expedition to Xiangfan, the war has been progressing quite smoothly. He took advantage of the heavy rains for several days and the swollen Han River to capture alive General Yu Jin and his seven armies, and also killed the famous Xiliang general Pang De. The Cao army was greatly shocked by this, and uprisings broke out in many places in response to her father.
Guan Yu's power awed all of China, and the morale of Cao's army was in chaos. It is said that even Cao Cao once considered moving the capital.
Although Cao Cao soon mobilized famous generals and armies to support Fancheng and lifted the siege of Fancheng, her father's navy still had the upper hand and blocked the Mian River, preventing Cao's army from passing.
Her father could attack when advancing and defend when retreating. Even if Cao Cao led the entire country to attack, her father could retreat calmly.
In short, even though this Northern Expedition failed to capture Xiangyang and Fancheng, it successfully eliminated a large number of Cao's troops and shook Cao's rule in the Jingxiang area.
Even if we retreat, we can continue to hold Jingzhou and hold out against Cao's army, and maintain our strategic advantage in both offense and defense.
So Guan Feng really couldn't figure out what kind of changes could happen on the front line.
But she also knew that the battlefield was unpredictable and any accidents could happen. She was so worried that she didn't bother to think about the strangeness and hurried to the governor's mansion.
It was not until they arrived at the carriage field in front of the main gate of the Prefectural Governor's Mansion that Guan Feng's heart suddenly moved slightly. She felt very uncomfortable with the Prefectural Governor's Mansion in front of her, and inexplicably a feeling of depression, which was cloudy and gloomy, arose in her heart.
Although the martial arts in the Fengyun world possess extremely strong power, almost no warriors cultivate their spiritual energy, and their perception is quite dull. Even the most powerful masters may be poisoned, ambushed, attacked by surprise, or backstabbed.
Guan Feng is different.
She had already acquired the ability to sense Qi under Ouyang Feng's instruction. At this moment, she felt something strange about the Qi in the Prefect's Mansion and immediately became alert. She suddenly stopped, narrowed her eyes, stared at the Prefect's Mansion for a while, then glanced sideways at the clerk and turned away.
She didn't know what went wrong in the prefectural government, but she chose to trust her feelings.
However, just after turning around and taking a few steps, I heard Mi Fang's voice coming from behind:
"Niece, please stay!"
Guan Feng looked back and saw that the door of the prefect's mansion was wide open. Mi Fang was hurried over with several men dressed as clerks. They looked pale and anxious and nervous, as if they had really encountered something big.
But there was something strange in Mi Fang's eyes. He was clearly calling her to stay and even chased after her, but he didn't look at her. When she looked over, his gaze wandered around instead, which made him look particularly suspicious.
Taking another look at those unfamiliar "clerks", Guan Feng felt awe in his heart. He placed his slender hand on the hilt of his knife and shouted:
"Prefect Mi, stop!"
Mi Fang turned a deaf ear to her and continued to chase after her, saying in a panic:
"My dear niece, General Guan was ambushed and seriously injured. The front line was broken and the situation is critical..."
Before he could finish his words, Guan Feng had already drawn out his "Zhanfeng Blade" with a clang.
Just as she drew her sword, a short and strong middle-aged "clerk" appeared behind Mi Fang and suddenly punched her.
Bang!
With a loud bang, a torrent of fist force crossed three meters and hit Guan Feng in the chest.
Guan Feng blocked the attack with his sword, and then used his fist to hit the blade, creating a loud sound like a bell. The violent impact caused Guan Feng to slide back, and his combat boots plowed the bluestone floor under his feet until it cracked. He slid back several feet before he was able to stabilize himself.
"Ha, Miss Guan Feng is indeed a daughter of a general. She is so young, yet she was able to take Pan's punch without any damage!"
The short and strong clerk laughed out loud, his tone quite approving.
Guan Fengze's expression froze, and he said in a deep voice:
"Pan? Are you... Pan Zhang from Jiangdong?"
Seeing that his punch was so ferocious and his surname was Pan, combined with the physical characteristics of some famous generals from Jiangdong described by his father, Guan Feng suddenly knew who this person was.
"Yes, it is Pan Zhang from Jiangdong."
Pan Zhang said proudly with his hands behind his back. Although he was half a head shorter than Guan Feng, his aura was fierce and powerful, like a tiger dominating a hill.
Guan Feng's heart sank slightly.
Pan Zhang became famous at a young age, was extremely brave in battle, was Sun Quan's confidant, and was a well-known warrior in Jiangdong. And Pan Zhang's punch just now also proved that he was not just a name, and was worthy of Sun Quan's love, and his skills were even better than Guan Feng.
Of course Guan Feng was not afraid of Pan Zhang.
So what if he has a deeper skill? A life-and-death battle is not just about skill.
It’s just like ordinary people are far less strong than cattle and horses, but even if cattle and horses are out of control and go crazy, people always have ways to subdue them or even kill them.
Guan Feng believed that with his current swordsmanship and the adaptability brought by the induction of Qi, even if his skills were not as good as Pan Zhang, he could still kill him with his sword.
Guan Feng was not afraid of Pan Zhang. What really made her heart sink and feel uneasy was the fact that Pan Zhang appeared here, disguised as a clerk following Mi Fang, and suddenly attacked her.
Considering the oppressive feeling she had felt in the prefectural government office before, Guan Feng looked at Pan Zhang, then at Mi Fang, and suddenly she understood something.
"It seems that Jiangdong has already planned to break the alliance and join Cao Cao..." She said slowly:
"It's not surprising that Jiangdong is a bunch of rats, wavering between the two sides. But Governor Mi, you have followed my uncle for many years, and you never left him when he was in a low position. Now my uncle has occupied Yizhou, taken Hanzhong, and has been promoted to the King of Hanzhong. The foundation of the revival has been established. It is the time for heroes to show their strength. Why did you betray my uncle and join the rats of Jiangdong?"
Mi Fang was ashamed, but he still tried to defend himself:
"I didn't betray the King of Hanzhong! I just, I just don't like your father! Your father is too arrogant, and I am also an old minister of Yuan Cong. Why does he look down on me? He even wants to kill me! I just want to protect myself, what's wrong with that?"
"Only for self-protection?"
Guan Fengfeng narrowed her eyes slightly, raised her eye corners, and smiled contemptuously:
"If you just want to protect yourself, why don't you resign from the post of Nanjun governor and return to Yizhou to ask your uncle for a leisurely job? Your uncle is the most sentimental. As an old minister of Yuancong, if you want to return to Yizhou to enjoy your life, your uncle will definitely not refuse you!
"You surrendered to Jiangdong so easily and set up an ambush in the governor's mansion, trying to harm me and even cut off my father's army's retreat. You did this not just to protect yourself. You must have committed a crime that even my uncle cannot easily forgive you for!"
Mi Fang's face turned red, but he was speechless.
Pan Zhang laughed and said calmly:
"What a clever and resourceful Miss Guan. No wonder Governor Mi said that if we want to take Jiangling without any damage, we'd better take you down first. I was wondering, you only have 500 soldiers under your command, and even if we ignore them, how can you control the situation? Now I know that you are really not simple. If we don't take you down, I'm afraid our army will not be able to take Jiangling easily."
Guan Feng said coldly:
"Unfortunately, your plot has been exposed. I have discovered the ambush in the prefectural governor's mansion. You, Pan Zhang, will also leave your life in Jiangling! With me, Guan Feng, here, you cannot take Jiangling City!"
"Really?" Pan Zhang laughed. "Miss Guan is murderous, but I don't want to kill you. After all, my master has long wanted Miss Guan to be the daughter-in-law of the Sun family. Unfortunately, you can't be the young master's wife now, you can only be a concubine."
Guan Fengfeng opened her eyes, a murderous look flashed in her pupils, and she shouted:
"Die, you rat!"
His body moved like a leaping flame, and instantly rushed in front of Pan Zhang. The cutting blade vibrated with a hum, and a dense blade light burst out, strangling Pan Zhang like a net.
Pan Zhang was a little skeptical at first.
Just now, he had punched Guan Feng in the air, knocking her back more than a meter. Seeing that Guan Feng was unharmed, although he praised her, deep down in his heart, he still did not take this girl who was no more than sixteen years old seriously.
In his opinion, Guan Feng was indeed an outstanding figure among his peers. When he was at this age, he felt inferior to Guan Feng and had to admit defeat.
If Guan Feng was given another ten years, no, maybe just three more years, he, Pan Zhang, would probably not be her match.
Unfortunately, Guan Feng is still too immature now. Even if he is gifted, he has no chance to continue growing.
Pan Zhang looked confident of victory. Facing Guan Feng's continuous slashing with his sword, he just laughed, without even drawing his weapon. He raised his hand and punched towards the brightest part of the sword.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the air exploded wherever Pan Zhang's powerful fist reached. The air before the tip of the fist was compressed into a milky white air wave visible to the naked eye, which blasted into the knife net like a cannonball.
clang clang clang clang...
The sound of metal clashing against each other was heard continuously, and the fist force in the air seemed to crush dry wood and rotten wood, destroying most of the dense sword light.
Pan Zhang laughed again and took a step forward. Just as he was about to throw another punch, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a thin knife light like a silk thread, silently passing towards his neck.
Pan Zhang's heart trembled and he dodged hurriedly. Although he relied on his rich experience from hundreds of battles to avoid the knife that would break his neck, the knife still brushed against his neck silently, leaving a shallow blood mark on his neck.
"you……"
Pan Zhang realized then that Guan Feng's dense net-like sword light was just a feint to deceive people. The real killer move was the silent neck-breaking blow.
This time, Pan Zhang did not dare to be careless anymore. He pulled out two two-foot-long short swords from his waist and wielded them to fight against Guan Feng's long sword.
However, even though he had stopped underestimating the enemy, Pan Zhang still felt something was wrong.
Guan Feng's swordsmanship is not as vigorous, fierce and fierce as his father's. Instead, it is extremely light, like a floating feather. Each of his swordsmanship is as fast as lightning, and its trajectory is unpredictable. It seems that he can always see through the flaws in his moves. Not only can he find the flaws to resolve his offensive, but he can even take advantage of the situation to counterattack.
Pan Zhang originally wanted to rely on his strength to defeat Guan Feng, but Guan Feng's body movements were too agile and his swordsmanship was too nimble, so he almost never engaged in a head-on confrontation with him.
Occasionally, when he was forced to engage in a head-on collision, he would always be able to find the weakest point of Guan Feng's true energy on his double swords and strike hard, making it impossible for him to injure Guan Feng with his strong power.
For a while, Pan Zhang was so restrained in fighting that he felt he had strength but nowhere to use it, and the more he fought, the more frustrated he became.
The two sides fought quickly, swords flashed everywhere, and hundreds of moves were exchanged in a blink of an eye, but the sound of weapons clashing was rare. Pan Zhang was depressed and let out a sharp roar:
"If Governor Mi doesn't take action now, when will he take action?"
Mi Fang was still hesitating when a Jiangdong general disguised as a clerk suddenly pushed him from behind. The gentle force made him lose his balance and he crashed into Guan Feng's sword.
Mi Fang had no choice but to draw his sword and stab out with a sharp sword light to assist Pan Zhang in fighting Guan Feng.
Although he did not have any great abilities, Mi Fang had fought with Liu Bei in the north and south for many years and had always been used as a military general, so his martial arts skills were quite good.
However, compared with Pan Zhang, Mi Fang's martial arts skills were too weak. Even though he participated in the siege, he did not bring much pressure to Guan Feng.
In fact, because he had never cooperated with Pan Zhang before and there was no tacit understanding between them, his sudden joining in actually created many opportunities for Guan Feng, allowing her to use Mi Fang as a cover to block Pan Zhang's offensive, and even wait for an opportunity to create a bigger flaw for Pan Zhang.
Dozens of moves passed, and Guan Feng was still unharmed. Mi Fang, who had the weakest martial arts, was also not injured. However, Pan Zhang had a few more blood marks on his body.
Although they were only minor injuries, Pan Zhang, a famous general for many years, was beaten so badly by a girl who was less than sixteen years old. He was furious and roared without caring about his face:
"What are you standing there for? Come on, let's fight quickly and take this girl down!"
The Jiangdong generals dressed as clerks immediately drew their swords and joined the siege.
These Jiangdong generals cooperated very well with Pan Zhang. Once they joined the siege, Guan Feng felt the pressure doubled.
Although her ability to sense Qi allowed her to spot flaws and gain the initiative, no matter how sharp her Qi perception was, with several swords attacking in unison, even if she could find a flaw, she would not be able to find the opportunity to attack the enemy's flaw.
For a moment, Guan Feng finally fell into a disadvantage. No matter how good his martial arts skills were or how strong his swordsmanship was, he could only hold on with difficulty.
After fighting for more than ten moves, Guan Feng realized that he could no longer defeat Pan Zhang and other Jiangdong generals by himself, so he could only shout helplessly:
"Brother Ouyang, have you seen enough? It's time to take action!"
The words fell.
Even though Pan Zhang and the others did not have the ability to sense Qi, they felt as if a pair of indifferent and cold eyes appeared in the sky, looking down at them from above, projecting an indescribable and terrible pressure into their hearts.
