Chapter 174: The governor of Yanzhou

"Protect the Lord?!"

Wang Cheng immediately spotted the woman in white in front of him. He was terrified. Who was she? How could she appear so quietly behind them?

Wang Cheng's whole body was tense, his vigilance raised to the extreme. He protected Lord Yashou behind him and stared at the figure in white not far ahead with full readiness, as if facing a great enemy!

Even though the other person was just a woman, he had no intention of relaxing.

The sudden appearance of the woman in white before him put him under immense pressure. The cold night air around him instinctively sent a chill through his heart.

At this moment, it is late at night.

Not far away, the sound of fighting outside the prefectural governor's mansion was endless.

Getting closer.

The sound of sharp swords clashing and the screams and roars that filled the night sky mixed together and got closer and closer.

It was obvious that the figure attacking in the dark was getting closer and closer, and the people in their prefectural government could no longer stop it.

Everyone present was trembling with fear, but they didn't care about that at the moment. Their eyes were fixed on the figure in white outside the lobby ahead.

That is a young woman!

A woman with excellent appearance, figure and temperament stood quietly under the eaves of the lobby, looking at everyone.

Her eyes were clear, yet without any emotion. Just the sight of her was enough to fill them with a sense of trepidation and fear.

She, who is she? !

Why are you here?

The guards surrounding Wang Shiquan were as nervous as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and no one dared to step forward or make any rash moves.

Wang Shiquan raised his eyes and stared at the woman in white under the eaves in front of him. His eyes were solemn.

This woman is very beautiful and has great temperament!

More importantly...

The woman in white before him gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Seemingly familiar!

Where have you seen me before?

Wang Shiquan frowned and thought carefully whether he had seen this woman somewhere before.

At this moment, the world seemed to be in a stalemate.

The woman in white remained motionless, like a cold sculpture.

The guards in the courtyard became more vigilant and didn't even dare to breathe deeply.

Until Wang Shiquan broke the silence.

"Excuse me, who are you, sir?"

Wang Shiquan stared at the woman in white in front of him, and the more he looked, the more familiar she looked.

If he had seen such a stunningly beautiful woman before him, there was no way he would not have had an impression of her.

But if I haven't seen it before, why does it look familiar?

That feeling of familiarity was hard to describe, and it made him even more confused.

Wang Shiquan spoke in a deep voice, trying to soften his tone. Although he didn't know who the woman in white was, he could sense the cold aura that emanated from her.

From the reactions of the guards around him, it can be seen that this woman might be difficult to deal with.

The woman in white did not speak, but stared at Wang Shiquan with cold eyes. She was calm, but it made Wang Shiquan feel cold in his heart.

There's clearly nothing dangerous about it, but for some reason it makes people feel a little creepy.

Wang Shiquan immediately realized... How could someone barging into the prefectural governor's residence in the middle of the night be a friend?!

Realizing this, Wang Shiquan's heart sank suddenly.

"Quickly escort the lord away. Leave this man to me to stop!"

Wang Cheng tightly gripped his long sword, staring intently at the figure in white in front of him, and said in a deep voice without turning his head.

This woman is so weird.

He is very young and doesn't have the aura of a master at all.

But the more this happens, the more vigilant we become.

How could someone who could sneak into this place quietly and avoid so many masters in the prefectural government not be a master?

But why can't I detect any breath from the other person?

There are basically only two possibilities. Either the other party is indeed just an ordinary person, or the other party's martial arts skills are so high that he can hide his own breath at will and control it freely.

Anyone who can reach that level is undoubtedly one of the world's top masters. If that's really the case, then...

I'm afraid it will be difficult tonight!

Wang Cheng's face looked extremely ugly, but no matter what, as a guard of the prefectural government, he had to ensure the safety of the adults.

While having the adults escorted away, he held a long sword and stood in front of the other guards, staring at the woman in white.

Wang Shiquan also realized that it was not advisable to stay here for long, so he hurriedly left through the path under the escort of the guards.

Just as Wang Shiquan was about to set off, the woman in white under the eaves also reacted.

She suddenly raised her eyes, and a trace of murderous intent suddenly emerged in her eyes.

"Stop her!"

Wang Cheng spoke in a deep voice.

The two guards beside him immediately stepped forward with swords drawn.

But the next second.

"puff!"

A powerful aura emerged from the woman in white, and the two guards who had just approached were enveloped by this aura and were instantly blown away.

Seeing this scene, Wang Cheng's pupils shrank.

Before he could come to his senses, the woman in white took a step forward.

"stop!"

Wang Cheng didn't care too much and subconsciously stepped forward with his knife, blocking the woman in white.

Without any hesitation, he swung the long knife in his hand and slashed towards the woman in white.

He didn't hold back at all!

Realizing that the woman in white probably had unfathomable strength, Wang Cheng used almost all of his internal strength, and the knife fell with the force of thunder.

However, the next second, the terrifying aura that was coming towards him instantly locked onto him, and the long sword that was chopping down stopped in mid-air, unable to get any closer.

At this moment, Wang Cheng was shocked!

This, this level of strength...

"boom!"

The majestic and terrifying aura enveloped him and instantly knocked him away.

He fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood, his hands numb. He stared at his shaking hands with horror, unable to hold the long sword.

He was seriously injured after one encounter.

He still underestimated the terror of the woman in white.

Wang Cheng's eyes were filled with fear, and he could only watch the woman in white leave.

As Wang Shiquan just left the yard, he heard screams behind him. His heart sank and he quickened his pace.

He walked through the courtyard corridor and was about to head towards the backyard of the mansion.

The next second, Wang Shiquan suddenly stopped, looked up, and his gloomy face became even gloomier.

In front, on the eaves.

The woman in white stood quietly above it.

In the dark night sky, the dim moonlight fell on her, bright as the moon and cold as frost.

The white dress fluttered in the cold wind, and her black hair was scattered.

His face remained expressionless, without a ripple of emotion. However, in the dead of night, Wang Shiquan felt a tingling sensation all over his body, filled with anxiety and trepidation.

Even Wang Shiquan, who had experienced too many storms, couldn't help but tremble in his heart at this moment.

An indescribable fear surged in my heart.

Such a strange woman in white, following closely, was clearly coming for him.

"Kill her!" Wang Shiquan's low voice came.

The next second, in the night sky, several powerful figures emerged from all directions of the eaves, heading straight for the woman in white on the eaves.

These figures were all Wang Shiquan's personal protectors. Tonight, due to the civil unrest in the prefectural governor's mansion, they did not act rashly, but hid in the dark, waiting for the opportunity.

Now, with Wang Shiquan's order, four middle-aged figures with strong internal strength appeared and headed towards the woman in white on the eaves.

The four men had strong internal strength and did not hold back at all from the moment they met. Their fierce killing moves were directed towards the woman in white on the roof.

The woman in white stood still, unmoved by the four figures. She raised her eyes slightly, her sleeves dancing, her bare hands beneath them like blades, and a fierce aura instantly surged out.

“Boom!”

The instantaneous violent collision caused an explosion, and the impact of the explosion swallowed up the four figures that were originally approaching.

"ah……"

A sharp scream was heard, and the next second, several figures were blown out by the explosion and fell heavily to the ground.

This scene made the guards in the corridor look stunned and filled with fear.

In the scene just now, they didn’t even see how the woman in white made her move, and it was... over?

This kind of strength...

They couldn't help but gasp and looked up, only to see that the woman in white had disappeared from the roof.

When I came to my senses, the woman in white had appeared in the corridor in front of me and was approaching.

The footsteps were so light that there was almost no sound, but for some reason, it seemed as if every step was stepping on their hearts, so heavy that their breathing became rapid and their faces turned pale.

The remaining guards had terrified eyes, and even their hands holding the swords began to tremble slightly.

This scene tonight has exceeded their psychological endurance.

Wang Shiquan's face looked particularly ugly. He was already certain that the woman in white was coming for him.

Tonight, I'm here to take his life!

But who is she?

Why does it look so familiar?

Not surprisingly, she belonged to Prince Lin, but he was not familiar with Prince Lin, so how could she...

"Prince Lin..."

Just at this moment, Wang Shiquan seemed to have thought of something, and a flash of light came into his mind.

The next second, his eyes were filled with astonishment and his expression was shocked.

He stared at the woman in white intently, and the more he looked, the more familiar she seemed to him. It was as if a sudden enlightenment had struck him, and his mind suddenly opened up.

"It's you? It's you?!!"

Wang Shiquan suddenly remembered something and stared at the woman in white in front of him: "You, you are Jiang Cheng's wicked daughter?!"

"It's you?!!"

Wang Shiquan's voice was extremely shocked.

The woman in white, who was approaching slowly, suddenly stopped.

There was still no emotion in his cold eyes, but for some reason, Wang Shiquan was frightened by the coldness of his gaze.

He finally remembered!

Not long ago, Wang Changjin mentioned to him that when the Jiang family was exterminated, Jiang Cheng's wife and daughter escaped.

Although the bodies of the wife and daughter were found later, Wang Changjin's words last time still made him feel uneasy.

No one saw with their own eyes that Jiang Cheng’s wife and daughter died!

The bodies they found were so badly damaged that they could not be identified. Their only means of identification were the clothes and belongings left behind.

But, after all, I didn't see it with my own eyes.

Wang Changjin's words made him cautious.

Until now...

No wonder he felt that the woman in white in front of him looked so familiar!

He had never seen this woman in white before, but the temperament of this woman in white was very familiar to him.

Isn’t this Jiang Cheng’s wife from back then?

Very similar!

Although their appearance is not very similar, their temperament is definitely unmistakable.

It's her, it's her daughter!

She's here for revenge?!

Wang Shiquan's eyes were filled with uncertainty. As the governor of Xunyang, he wouldn't really panic. After confirming the identity of the woman in white, he finally realized her purpose.

"So, you are here today to avenge your Jiang family?"

Wang Shiquan gradually suppressed the emotions on his face and spoke in a deep voice.

Zhiyuan looked up at the middle-aged man in front of her, her eyes calm, yet a little dazed.

Is this person in front of me the culprit who caused the Jiang family to be destroyed?

"You deserve to die."

The kite spoke.

The voice was soft and cold.

But there was no trace of anger in his voice.

She slowly glanced around the courtyard and added, "You all must die."

Very calm tone.

It's as normal as telling them to eat and drink water.

But these words made everyone present change their expression.

Everyone has to die?

"What a big tone!"

Wang Shiquan's face was gloomy, but after realizing the other party's identity, he felt less frightened.

What people fear most is facing the fear of the unknown.

Now that he knew the identity and purpose of the woman in white, he became much calmer.

"Do you think I'm a soft persimmon that you can bully at will?"

Wang Shiquan's face was gloomy. "Back then, your Jiang family was involved in treason and the entire clan was executed. You, a remnant, are still alive, yet you still dare to act so presumptuously here..."

"Do you really think that with the support of the Lin King, you can do whatever you want?!"

The kite didn't say anything.

Maybe I don’t know what to say, or maybe I’m too lazy to talk nonsense.

To her, it meant nothing.

Wang Shiquan noticed her cold gaze, as if she was looking at a dead person, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Stop her!"

In the darkness, several figures emerged and blocked his way.

As the governor of Xunyang, Wang Shiquan was surrounded by countless experts who protected him. He had anticipated this day and had made preparations.

Even if her martial arts skills were high, could she really fight ten people at once? Or a hundred people at once?

Faced with several dark shadows appearing around her, Zhiyuan turned a blind eye. In her eyes, there was only Wang Shiquan.

She took a sudden step.

The next second, the figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only a shadow.

Fast, too fast!

Almost at the same time, Wang Shiquan's pupils suddenly shrank, and a fierce murderous intent came towards him.

"My Lord, be careful!"

"ah!"

Wherever the afterimage went, screams were heard.

In the darkness, several figures fell down as they met.

The guards surrounding him fell down before they could even catch a glimpse of the opponent's afterimage.

At this moment, Wang Shiquan was terrified. Only by experiencing it personally could he know how terrifying the other party was.

What kind of pervert did Jiang Cheng give birth to?!

But Wang Shiquan couldn't care less at the moment. He had to leave here as soon as possible. He had to ensure his own safety before the city defense army arrived.

Just then, hurried footsteps were heard outside the corridor.

"The city defense troops have arrived! The city defense troops have arrived!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.

Wang Shiquan suddenly looked up and saw flames rising from the prefectural mansion not far away and deafening footsteps coming.

The guards of the prefectural government, who had been almost defeated, finally showed a glimmer of hope.

Yes, I’m saved!!

The city defense army's support finally arrived? ! !

Wang Shiquan's eyes suddenly lit up and he felt relieved.

The city defense forces are here!

There are more than 3,000 soldiers defending Xunyang City. Even if Prince Lin's men have high martial arts skills, they are doomed!

They are dead!

Wang Shiquan's eyes were filled with excitement, but before he could be happy, another piece of news came.

"The Governor has arrived!"
