Three Kingdoms: Ten Times Speed, Diao Chan Says I'm Too Fast

The streets of Luoyang were unusually lively under the night sky.

Although almost all the people who entered the city from outside during the day have already left, those who remain in Luoyang are mostly people of considerable wealth and status.

Although Luoyang is large, apart from the imperial palace and various government offices, there are not many places to live.

The North and South Palaces occupied almost the entire city of Luoyang.

Places like Yonghe Lane, where Dong Zhuo's residence was located, and Buguang Lane were residences of high-ranking officials and nobles.

Besides the North and South Palaces, the residences of the Three Dukes, and various government offices, the city also contained the Yong'an Palace, the armory, and the Jin, Ma, and Xi markets.

Therefore, the area outside Luoyang city was where ordinary people lived.

After daybreak, the city gates opened, and the people entered the city.

The city gates closed before nightfall, and the people left the city.

After dark, those who remained in Luoyang were mostly wealthy merchants, rich households, and high-ranking officials.

Luoyang, as the center of the world, was also the most developed place for commerce.

The gold market, horse market, and western market occupy a very large area.

Emperor Guangwu (Liu Xiu) had been a merchant selling grain before he restored the Han Dynasty, so he was relatively open to and valued merchants.

In the three markets of Jinshi, Mashi, and Xishi, there were also special lodgings for merchants, which were equivalent to inns and taverns.

This is for centralized and convenient management.

The flourishing of commerce and trade led to the development of other industries in Luoyang at night.

Like brothels, gambling dens, taverns, restaurants, and teahouses.

At this moment, a luxurious carriage slowly came to a stop in front of a three-story wooden building on the street where Duan Yu was heading home towards Yonghe Lane.

One person got off the car.

After lifting the curtain of the carriage, he first looked around.

"Young Master, we have arrived," the maid beside the carriage said, bowing her head.

The person who got out of the carriage first glared at the little maid next to the carriage.

"If you say another wrong word, I'll sew your mouth shut when we get back."

The person who stepped off the carriage was wearing a purple robe embroidered with phoenixes riding on clouds, a tall mountain crown on his head, and black shoes.

Her skin was fair, and even her hands were very delicate.

After being reprimanded, the maid lowered her head and trembled slightly.

After glancing at the three-story gambling den beside him, the person who got out of the car was about to step inside.

However, just as they were about to enter, their eyes suddenly fell on a line of people on the long street.

"It's him!"

A look of surprised delight flashed in the eyes of the person who was about to enter.

Not far away, riding on the black jade Qilin beast, Duan Yu, dressed in a black robe, was chatting with Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu beside him.

Seemingly sensing something, it turned its head to look at the front of a brightly lit three-story wooden building not far away.

The building was brightly lit, and faint shouts and cheers could be heard from time to time.

But Duan Yu's gaze fell on a person standing in front of the building.

"Brother Duan, that should be a gambling den." Tie Shitou, who was standing to the side, said with some eagerness, "Brother Duan, would you like to go and have a go?"

Duan Yu shook his head.

Gambling in this era was different from that in later generations; there were no mahjong, poker, or similar games.

Duan Yu had already witnessed this when he was in Jinyang.

The gambling habits of high-ranking officials and dignitaries in this era can be described in just six words.

Dun Liubo, throw the high pot.

The so-called Dunliubo refers to a type of game.

Similar to a game of chess.

It's not quite chess, and it's not quite Go either.

Anyway, Duan Yu wasn't very interested.

Another game is pitch-pot.

This is very simple.

But now, even Dong Yi and Diao Chan in Duan Yu's family no longer play with him.

There was nothing he could do; his shots were just too accurate.

But at this moment, Duan Yu's attention was not on the wooden building of the gambling den.

It was the person who got off the carriage and was standing not far away watching him.

strangeness.

Why does this person seem familiar, yet I can't quite place them?

Duan Hu rode his horse and looked sideways at the person standing in front of the gambling den.

The warhorse did not stop; Duan Yu simply turned his head to look.

However, due to the dim light, Duan Yu couldn't see clearly; he simply felt that it looked somewhat familiar.

As luck would have it, a carriage happened to pass by at that moment.

The torches on the carriage illuminated the entrance to the gambling den.

It also illuminated the figure wearing a purple robe embroidered with phoenixes riding clouds.

With just one glance, Duan Yu recognized those eyes.

is her!

It was that noble lady sitting in the carriage at Pingcheng Gate.

Duan Yu's gaze showed slight surprise.

It wasn't anything that surprised me.

Instead, they were surprised that she was dressed as a man.

But then he glanced at the gambling den behind him and instantly understood.

The woman disguised herself as a man so she could go to the gambling den at the back.

Thinking of this, Duan Yu smiled slightly.

Although I could only see a pair of eyes clearly during the day.

But he was still absolutely certain that the woman standing in front of the gambling den, looking at him with a smile on her face, was definitely the same woman who had been in the carriage at Pingcheng Gate during the day.

The night was hazy, as if we were looking through a black veil.

Meanwhile, in the distance, the woman standing in front of the gambling den, who had initially thought that Duan Yu hadn't recognized her, was taken aback when she saw the smile on Duan Yu's lips.

"He...he recognized me?"

The woman's beautiful eyes showed utter shock.

"That's impossible. We're so far apart, and I was in the car during the day. How could he recognize me?"

The woman shook her head slightly, wanting to deny the idea in her mind.

You can see the slightly upturned corners of the mouth on the handsome face of the man riding a horse in the distance.

That confident smile.

The woman was unsure.

It wasn't until the two passed each other across half a street and Duan Yu's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness that the woman came to her senses.

he.....

He must have recognized me.

But if you recognized it, why didn't you stop?

"Has he forgotten that I told him I'd give him a surprise if he recognized me next time?"

"Young master...should we...should we still go in?"

The maid's voice pulled the woman back to reality from her reasoning and imagination.

At this moment, her mind was filled with the image of the woman who had just brushed past her. She bit her lip.

...........

The next morning.

The front yard of Dong Zhuo's mansion.

Duan Yu held the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd horizontally with both hands.

It swiftly stabbed into the air in front of it.

The halberd tip whistled through the air, each pierce producing a sharp, piercing sound.

[Ding! The [Tenfold Attribute] has taken effect. Each time the host swings the battle halberd, the effect is increased tenfold. Congratulations, host, you have gained +1 experience. [Unstoppable Force - Blue 9999/10000]]

"One more time!"

Despite the numbness and soreness in his arms, Duan Yu thrust out another attack.

[Ding! The [Tenfold Attribute] has taken effect. Each time the host swings the battle halberd, the effect is increased tenfold. Congratulations, host, you have gained +1 experience. [Unstoppable Force - Blue 10000/10000]]

[Ding! The [Tenfold Ability] has taken effect. The host swings the battle halberd once, and the effect is increased tenfold. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the new ability 0/100000 [Unstoppable - Red]]

[Unstoppable Force: When the host is fighting and wielding a battle halberd, there is a 10% chance to gain an invincible aura.]

hiss!

Listening to the synthesized voice from the system in my mind.

Duan Yu couldn't help but gasp.

The Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd, which had become increasingly heavy in his hand, landed with a thud on the bluestone slab beneath his feet.

Qi?

It sounds like it's really impressive.

However, there is only a 10% chance.

It seems I need to find an opportunity to test what this so-called "罡气" (gang qi) really is.

Wiping the sweat from his body, Duan Yu placed the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd on the weapon rack beside him.

One hundred thousand times, the next upgrade will require one hundred thousand more times.

Name: Duan Yu

【Age: 25】

Height: 191cm

[Weight: 95 kg]

【词条：【十倍速度-金色】【箭如连珠-紫色70000/1000000】【九牛之力-紫色51111/100000】【抽刀断水-红色45000/100000】【种子改良-蓝色0/10000】【一寸光阴一寸金-白0/1000】【一往无前-红0/100000】】

After glancing at the system, Duan Yu sighed deeply.

Hopefully, I'll have more time once I arrive in Liangzhou, so I can quickly upgrade the system properly.

For the past two months, I've been on the road all the time, with very little free time.

...........

The main hall of the mansion.

Dong Zhuo, still hungover from last night's drinking, sat in the main seat.

Duan Yu sat on the lower left, while Li Ru sat opposite him.

The maid brought breakfast up and placed it on the table.

"Ziyi, what are your plans regarding what Yuan Situ mentioned last night?" Dong Zhuo asked Duan Yu. "And what are your plans to do with Wang Gai?"

Duan Yu knew that Dong Zhuo would ask about this matter today.

Therefore, we have already prepared a response.

"Father-in-law, although Lord Situ pleaded for leniency, I have no intention of letting Wang Gai go!" Duan Yu narrowed his eyes, his mind made up.

Ok?

Both Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, who was sitting opposite Duan Yu, were taken aback.
