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

Early the next morning.

On the training ground in the front yard of Duan Yu's mansion.

Duan Yu, shirtless, was lifting a millstone weighing several thousand kilograms.

With each exertion, you can see the muscles and veins bulging high in his arms.

Since arriving at Liangzhong Road, Duan Yu has finally had time to start upgrading his system again.

Although individual military strength is not enough to influence the course of a major war to some extent.

However, Duan Yu dared not slack off in improving his own abilities.

This system hasn't reached the top level yet, and who knows what it will be like once it reaches the top level.

boom!

The massive millstone fell, causing the solid ground to tremble slightly.

Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu, who were waiting nearby, were secretly astonished.

Liu Baitu, dressed in black robes, walked lightly into the training ground at just the right moment, coming up behind Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu.

"Brother Duan," Liu Baitu called out shyly.

Completely unaware that Liu Baitu had already walked behind them, Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu were startled by the sudden sound from behind.

He turned around and saw Liu Baitu behind him.

"You little brat... how come you walk so quietly? You scared us to death!" Tie Shitou glared at Liu Baitu.

Liu Baitu smiled sheepishly and said, "Brother Shitou, this is a stealth technique. It can effectively conceal one's movements, allowing one to appear silently at night..."

"Stop!"

Tie Shitou interrupted Liu Baitu from behind, saying, "You can learn it yourself. Also, once you've mastered it, just don't show up behind me like this at night."

Liu Baitu smiled shyly, nodded, and then leaned closer to Tie Shitou, saying, "Don't worry, Brother Shitou, I have an even more important mission."

"But Brother Stone, you should probably avoid going to Yu'er's place at Zuixiangfang as much as possible. You've lost weight recently."

"you......"

Tie Shitou's eyes widened, and he quickly covered Liu Baitu's mouth.

He turned his head and glanced at Duan Yu, who was wiping his sweat.

He then turned around and glared at Liu Baitu, saying, "Don't talk nonsense, kid. When did I go to a place like that? I didn't! I didn't go!"

"If you keep talking nonsense... I... I... I won't be friends with you anymore."

Liu Baitu chuckled and nodded.

Duan Yu had wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked towards Tie Shitou.

Upon seeing this, Tie Shitou immediately released Liu Baitu.

“Stone, Bai Tu is right. Avoid places like that in the future.” Duan Yu tossed the silk in his hand aside and said, “You’re all of marriageable age.”

"It's about time we arranged a marriage."

"Once you're done with this busy period, think it over yourselves. If you find a girl you like, come talk to me."

"But women from brothels are definitely out of the question; we need to look among respectable women."

"If you don't find one you like, then I'll arrange one for you."

Duan Yu didn't give Tie Shitou a chance to explain.

Iron Stone could only stand there awkwardly, rolling his eyes at Liu Baitu.

Wang Hunu, standing to the side, grinned as he looked at Tie Shitou.

"Have someone bring breakfast over, let's eat here. It's been a long time since we ate together with you guys."

Duan Yu sat down in a corner of the training ground and said, "We used to be able to spend every day together in the village, but now we have less and less time together."

"You've all become more and more mature."

"I am very happy to see that you can all stand on your own. At least you have not let your parents down."

Duan Yu's words immediately stirred up memories of the village for the group.

Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, Liu Baitu, and the others were all slightly stunned, as if they had suddenly returned to the past.

They saw Brother Duan, the one who had led them into the mountains to hunt, played and frolicked in the forest, and taught them how to hunt.

After taking his seat, Duan Yu waved to the three of them: "Come and sit down, there are no outsiders here, I am still your Brother Duan."

The group nodded with glistening eyes, then sat in a small circle around Duan Yu, just like before.

As soon as the food was served, Duan Yu, who was already starving, began to eat heartily.

While eating, Liu Baitu took out a bamboo raft from his sleeve.

“Brother Duan, this is the content of the conversation between Dong Huang and Niu Yaodi last night,” Liu Baitu said.

Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu, who were rummaging through the rice in their bowls, were both taken aback.

Dong Huang?

Niu Yaodi?

What was their conversation last night?

What explosive content is this?

"Not... Dong Huang and Niu Yaodi?" Tie Shitou blinked and looked at Liu Baitu: "Those two... last night?"

Liu Baitu nodded.

Duan Yu, who was standing to the side, picked up the bamboo tablet and looked at the contents recorded on it.

In fact, it was he himself who discovered the problem between Dong Huang and Niu Yaodi.

Not someone else.

Niu Yaodi is the widow of Dong Yi's brother.

She has been a widow for many years.

But when Duan Yu saw Niu Yaodi, he felt something was wrong.

A woman who has been widowed for many years.

Without a man's nourishment, how could a widow who has been widowed for many years be in such a state?

Adding to the way Dong Huang looked at Niu Yaodi, Duan Yu concluded that there might be something going on between the two.

Therefore, they deliberately arranged for the two of them to be in a separate courtyard area.

After learning about Niu Yaodi's background, and having witnessed Dong Huang's brainless personality, he...

Duan Yu deduced that Dong Huang's request for an official position was likely not Dong Huang's own idea.

It's highly likely that someone was giving Dong Huang pointers behind the scenes.

This person definitely cannot be Dong Yi's grandmother.

Although Dong Yi's grandmother is still in good health, she is, after all, an octogenarian.

Therefore, Duan Yu deduced that if Niu Yaodi really had a story with Dong Huang, then this person might be Niu Yaodi.

Niu Yaodi was the one who brought Dong Yi and her younger brother Niu Fu together.

Will Niu Yaodi feel resentful after she was outmaneuvered?

There's no doubt that women can be petty.

Duan Yu smiled slightly as he looked at the contents of Liu Baitu's record.

It seems his guess was correct.

"Also, this morning, Niu Yaodi sent one of her close maids out of the city. I have already sent people to secretly follow her, and we do not yet know her destination."

Duan Yu put down his chopsticks and nodded.

Hopefully, this foolish woman will do something outrageous.

This would give him an excuse to help purge Dong Zhuo's household.

This also conveniently resolves the potential problem of Niu Fu.

"Keep an eye on it," Duan Yu said softly.

...........

Time flies, and several days have passed.

Inside a luxurious mansion in Yunwu County, Jincheng County.

It was noon, and Liang Hu, the governor of Liangzhou, was sitting in the main hall of the book.

On the table in front of him was a blank sheet of paper.

Liang Hu, holding a calligraphy brush, had a vacant and unfocused gaze, not even noticing the ink stains falling onto the white paper.

Just as Liang Hu was in a daze, a man walked into the main hall.

The man was over six feet tall, wearing a black scholar's robe and a scholar's cap. He had a small nose and small eyes, and he was hunched over when he entered the main hall.

It seemed they heard footsteps outside the main hall.

Liang Hu then came to his senses.

"Uncle Fang".

Cheng Qiu, the official in charge of the administration of Liangzhou, bowed to Liang Hu with a smile.

Liang Hu glanced at Cheng Qiu, then put down his brush.

When he saw a few drops of black ink on the white paper in front of him, he angrily crumpled the paper into a ball.

It seems like he's venting his frustrations.

Since Duan Yu convened a meeting of all the county magistrates and powerful clans in Hanyang County and refuted Ren Tang until he fainted on the spot, Liang Hu left Hanyang County immediately.

They arrived in Jincheng County under the guise of an inspection tour.

Hanyang Commandery was the capital of Liangzhou, and Ji County was the capital of Hanyang Commandery. Liang Hu's official residence and daily life were both in Ji County.

Liang Hu would never have left if he hadn't been forced to.

But now, it's not that he wants to leave.

Rather, there was simply no place for him to stand in Hanyang County.

Gai Xun, Yang Fu, Jiang Xu, and the Yan family all sided with Duan Yu.

His position as governor of Liangzhou was merely a figurehead in Hanyang Commandery.

Having lost both duels to Duan Yu, he had no face to remain in Hanyang County.

Now, Liang Hu only wants to leave Liangzhou as soon as possible, and leave as soon as his term is over.

Whoever is willing to fight Duan Yu, let them fight.

"What brings Cheng Zhizhong here?" Liang Hu asked, sounding displeased.

Cheng Qiu chuckled, then cupped his hands and said, "Good news, Uncle Fang! Your subordinate has some great news to share."

Ok?

Liang Hu frowned.

"I wonder what Cheng Zhizhong's joy is all about?" Liang Hu asked, frowning.

Cheng Qiu stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Lord Fangbo, I have heard that the Shaodang Qiang and several Qiang tribes in Jincheng County are migrating and uniting."

"I estimate that this is because Duan Yu is planning to conquer the Western Qiang."

"I believe this is a golden opportunity. If Lord Fang can make good use of it, he will surely make Duan Yu suffer a great loss," Cheng Qiu said.

Upon hearing Duan Yu's name, Liang Hu's expression immediately turned even more unpleasant.

Upon hearing Cheng Qiu's words, Liang Hu felt like jumping up and eating someone.

"Cheng Zhizhong, are you asking me to sell intelligence to the Qiang people?" Liang Hu frowned and said, "Do you know that if this matter is exposed, I will be doomed?"

"This is the happy event you were talking about?"

Cheng Qiu, who had been scolded, was not in a hurry. Instead, he slowly shook his head and said, "Of course not, Uncle Fang. How could I have such a foolish idea?"

"However, what you said is correct, sir. It is indeed related to the Qiang people, but it is not about selling intelligence to the Qiang people!"
