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

the other side.

Li Ru and Dong Yi, who had purchased leopard and fox pelts from Duan Yu, headed east of the city with guards carrying the animal skins.

They soon left the West Market.

The West Market was crowded and noisy. Li Ru kept his hands behind his back in his black robe and didn't say much along the way.

But after leaving the West Market, Li Ru looked at Dong Yi beside him and asked, "Miss."

"This animal hide is worth at most a few thousand dollars."

"The young lady gave ten gold coins in one go."

"And it was also agreed that if that person was the remaining prey, he would be given one hundred gold pieces."

"Isn't Miss worried that this person will go back on his word?"

Li Ru asked with some curiosity.

Dressed in gorgeous clothes, Dong Yi smiled slightly, exuding charm.

“Mr. Li, a hundred or ten gold coins are not much to us.”

"But for him, it was a lot."

"This man's archery skills are so outstanding that even Mr. Li praised him. If the next prey are also such excellent marksmen, it means that this man's archery skills are truly unparalleled."

“My father is currently in dire need of capable men. If we can recruit this person, it would be worth more than a hundred taels of gold, even a thousand. Do you think it's not worth it, Mr. Li?”

Li Ru nodded: "Worth it."

"It's worth more than a hundred gold pieces, even a thousand gold pieces."

He recalled that he had just squatted down in front of the young man.

When the young man stood up, Li Ru clearly felt an extremely strong sense of oppression.

Li Ru had never experienced this feeling with anyone other than Dong Zhuo.

The fierce general Li Ru had seen it quite often.

Like Niu Fu, Hua Xiong, and Li Jue and Guo Si.

But when he was facing these people, he never felt that way.

That young man is an exceptional archer; if we could truly recruit him as a general, it would be an excellent thing.

Animal hides and the like are irrelevant.

“Young Miss has a profound and far-sighted mind. I admire her greatly.” Li Ru nodded in admiration and said, “No wonder Uncle Fang said that if Young Miss were a man, she could inherit the family business.”

Dong Yi smiled slightly.

She replied modestly, "Mr. Li, you flatter me. Dong Yi is just a woman; what business can we discuss?"

"Sooner or later, we daughters will get married and become wives and mothers; that is our destiny."

"As for now, while I'm still at home, I'll help my father as much as I can."

"My father worked hard for many years, all he wanted was to rise to a high position in the imperial court and bring glory to our ancestors."

"But even now, it's still just lingering outside the door."

"Besides Mr. Li, there was no one else around to help me."

"I will have to rely on Mr. Li a lot in the future."

"As for that person..."

Whether the agreement can be kept is still unknown; it's just an investment.

Li Ru nodded slightly in agreement.

Although the kindest person didn't say it.

But he seemed to have a feeling in his heart.

I felt that the young man would definitely keep the appointment, and would bring tiger, wolf, and bear skins with him.

He couldn't quite put his finger on why, but he just had this mysterious and enigmatic feeling about him.

..........

The sun sets.

A gentle breeze rippled.

After a day of bustling activity, Jinyang City gradually returned to tranquility.

Villagers from surrounding villages who had come to the market left the city one after another, carrying their belongings on the road home.

But to say it's fully loaded.

Duan Yu was definitely the most rewarded person on this trip to Wucun Township.

Duan Yu arrived carrying a bag and leading Diao Chan by the hand.

But when they got back, the two were already on an oxcart.

That's right, it's an oxcart, not a horse-drawn carriage.

After receiving ten gold coins, Duan Yu took Diao Chan on a shopping spree.

Gold is the highest currency.

In reality, when converted into money, ten gold coins would be slightly more than one hundred thousand coins.

Duan Yu knew there were many things to buy, and the two of them wouldn't be able to carry them all back.

So I bought a car in advance.

Ox-cart, ox-cart, the ox and the cart are separate.

A healthy, mature cow is worth eight thousand coins.

A simpler car cost two thousand.

That's how ten thousand coins disappeared.

One shi of Liangmi costs 400 coins. One shi is about 40 jin. Ten shi came directly, which is more than 400 jin.

We definitely need some wine, but we didn't buy any meat.

From now on, when we go hunting in the mountains, we'll have meat every day.

Having promised Diao Chan the clothes, Duan Yu spent nearly six thousand coins.

When it came time to buy clothes, Diao Chan tried her best to stop her.

But Duan Yu still bought them all.

In addition to some rouge, some jewelry used by ordinary people, and clothes, the total cost was nearly ten thousand yuan.

Duan Yu also bought two sets of clothes.

We didn't have enough bedding at home, and since it's still cold, we bought some more.

In addition, they bought ten chickens and two sheep.

Chickens can lay eggs, and sheep can be milked.

These are all used to supplement the daily diet.

All the miscellaneous expenses added up to nearly 30,000 yuan.

This 30,000 is to supplement household expenses.

But in reality, oxcarts still accounted for the largest proportion.

However, since they would need to frequently travel to the city to sell animal hides, Diao Chan strongly supported buying a carriage.

Daily necessities cost 30,000.

The remaining place is the big one.

That's a weapon.

The weaponry path is alright.

Ordinary swords and the like mostly cost 1,800 coins.

A regular bow costs five or six hundred.

But a single suit of armor costs seven or eight thousand coins!

This was something Duan Yu never expected.

No wonder that in ancient times, only soldiers with armor were considered elite, while the vast majority, 95 percent, of the soldiers did not have armor.

A suit of armor costs seven or eight thousand coins.

This is just a regular suit of armor.

If it's a fine iron armor, then it will cost more than 20,000 coins.

Add in weapons and such, and arming an elite soldier costs 30,000 coins.

Thirty thousand coins!

Who would spend so much money to arm an ordinary infantryman?

Fortunately, Duan Yu was hunting in the mountains.

Armor is not very useful.

So I didn't buy it.

Instead, they used the money to buy good weapons.

At a blacksmith's shop, Duan Yu found a powerful bow.

The blacksmith asked for five thousand, but they eventually settled on three thousand.

There is also a fine, hundred-times-refined sword.

In addition, it was more expensive than a strong bow, and was eventually sold for seven thousand coins.

inside and outside.

Duan Yu received ten gold coins and immediately spent five of them.

Duan Yu handed over the remaining five pieces of gold directly to Diao Chan.

This way, Diao Chan can make up for any household expenses she might have in the future.

In response, Diao Chan blushed and offered a sweet kiss.

These five items were spent.

The result was this.

On the way back to the village.

Everyone looked at Duan Yu and Diao Chan with envy.

Some unmarried girls in the village were glad that Diao Chan was lucky. Even though she was past the age of marriage, she found a good man like Duan Yu.

Those who once wanted to marry Diao Chan now feel ashamed of their past overestimation of their abilities.

But it was mostly the village's young people and teenagers who were excited to see Duan Yu exchange the animal hides he hunted for so much money.

Their eyes were filled with fervor and longing as they looked at Duan Yu.

They were all thinking of starting to learn hunting with Duan Yu in the mountains tomorrow.

The oxcart surrounding Duan Yu chattered incessantly.

There was laughter and laughter along the way.

Diao Chan sat on the oxcart, wearing brand-new clothes, and her stunning beauty finally began to bloom.
