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

After Chen Qing'an gave the order, the guards following behind him dismounted and walked towards Niu Yaodi and Dong Huang with knives in hand.

Niu Yaodi, who had been stunned for a moment, panicked instantly.

"What...what is this? How am I guilty!"

Niu Yaodi quickly took a step back.

Dong Yi held the hand warmer in both hands, her expression solemn.

Dong Huang was also stunned.

The first thing that came to mind was that Niu Yaodi's affair had been exposed.

"I...what are you doing? I am the eldest son of the Dong family, I am Dong Yi's elder brother, my uncle..."

boom!

Before Dong Huang could finish speaking, Chen Qing'an, who rushed up with a dark face, kicked him in the stomach.

"You too?"

Chen Qingan waved his hand with a dark face: "Take it down!"

The soldiers of the Imperial Guard stepped forward and helped Dong Huang, who had fallen to the ground, to his feet.

At this point, Dong Huang was completely dumbfounded.

Struggling, he cried out to Dong Yi, "Yi'er, Yi'er, I didn't do anything! They... they've framed me! Yi'er, please save me!"

"Yi'er, even if you don't care about us siblings, you should at least care about your father! Yi'er, save me..."

Dong Yi lowered her head and didn't say a word.

Niu Yaodi panicked as well.

"Yi'er, I..."

"Shut up!" Dong Yi suddenly turned around.

Dong Yi's shout startled not only Niu Yaodi, but also Diao Chan and Su He, who were standing next to Dong Yi and didn't know what was going on.

Throughout her life, Diao Chan had always perceived Dong Yi as knowledgeable, reasonable, sensible, and well-mannered.

But Diao Chan had never seen Dong Yi like this before.

A bewildered Diao Chan, one hand supporting her lower abdomen, turned to look at Liu Baitu standing beside her, her delicate brows furrowed, and asked:

"Bai Tu, what exactly happened? Why is my lord..."

"Sister... this matter... the Marquis initially ordered that you not be informed," Liu Baitu said softly.

Because of his rural background.

In private, whether it was Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, Chen Qing'an, or Liu Baitu, they all addressed Diao Chan as "sister" or "sister-in-law."

From the very beginning, they addressed Duan Yu as "elder brother."

However, as Duan Yu's status gradually rose, the title of "elder brother" became inappropriate both in private and in front of outsiders.

But for Diao Chan...

There aren't so many rules anymore.

The entire Wucun Township is the hometown of Diao Chan, and people are still proud of her.

As for the matters in Jinyang, they were mostly handled by the relatives and family members of Tie Shitou and his group.

Meanwhile, Diao Chan's aunt is still in Jinyang, and privately, this is a small group.

"Can you tell me now?" Diao Chan asked softly.

Liu Baitu nodded and said, "Sister, Niu Yaodi and Dong Huang are secretly plotting to murder Lord Jun in Lintao County."

"what?"

Diao Chan was immediately startled.

"Sister, don't get agitated. Lord Jun is just worried that you'll get agitated if you find out, and that could affect the baby," Liu Baitu said anxiously.

Diao Chan forced herself to calm down.

Diao Chan was neither foolish nor stupid; she wasn't foolish enough to inquire about Duan Yu's safety.

Diao Chan naturally knew what kind of work Liu Baitu did for Duan Yu.

Since this matter was already known, Niu Yaodi and Dong Huang's plan was even less likely to succeed.

"Why...why would they plot against our lord?" Diao Chan asked, somewhat puzzled. "Didn't Dong Huang come to Ji County to ask our lord for an official position?"

Liu Baitu nodded and said, "This matter is a bit complicated."

"Dong Huang and Niu Yaodi committed adultery, and Niu Yaodi became pregnant with Dong Huang's child."

"Moreover, from the very beginning, Niu Yaodi had a strong objection to Madam Dong marrying the Marquis, and she was secretly instigating Dong Huang..."

Liu Baitu briefly recounted what had happened.

Now that Duan Yu has returned, this matter is over, and there is no need to hide it from Diao Chan any longer.

Upon hearing all this, Diao Chan frowned deeply.

His gaze unconsciously drifted towards Dong Yi.

At this moment, Dong Yiqiao's face showed both resentment and sadness.

"My lord... I hope this won't implicate Yi'er?" Diao Chan asked worriedly.

Suhe remained silent, simply listening to the unfolding events.

At this moment, Niu Yaodi looked at Dong Yi with a look of horror.

Dong Yi finally snapped: "Niu Yaodi, as the eldest sister-in-law, how can you not uphold the virtues of a woman and do such a thing? Is there any other explanation?"

Niu Yaodi was supported by both arms.

He was taken aback when he heard Dong Yi's words.

However, she immediately changed her expression, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Yi'er...I..."

"I know I was wrong, but it's not entirely my fault. Besides, I... I'm now carrying his child, the child of your Dong family. Although I... I made a mistake, but..."

Dong Yi shook her head in disappointment and said, "Even at a time like this, don't you understand?"

"Among all the despicable things you've done, is there one that you could hide from the Lord?"

"You think you're so clever, yet you can't hear the frog in the well?"

The next moment, Niu Yaodi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Meanwhile, in the distance, a large contingent of troops had already arrived near Ji County.

Leading the charge were Duan Yu, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao.

After they got up, in addition to a large number of cavalry, there were also hundreds of prison carts.

As Duan Yu, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao gradually approached...

Niu Yaodi also recognized some familiar faces in the prison van.

Those were members of the Niu clan from the depths of Didao.

The distraught Niu Yaodi looked at Duan Yu, who was riding on the Crimson Dragon Cloud-Treading Beast with a cold and indifferent expression.

Dong Yi stepped forward and came to Duan Yu's horse.

"My lord..."

"Dong Yi knows he is guilty. The instructor's family was not strict enough, and such a disgraceful thing has happened, bringing shame to Your Majesty. That hateful wicked woman even tried to harm Your Majesty. This is my fault."

As Dong Yi spoke, she pulled a token from the cuff of her white fox fur coat.

The token is gold in color and has a "Duan" character carved in ancient seal script on it.

There are three of these tokens in the prefect's residence.

They were in the hands of Dong Yi, Diao Chan, and Su He, respectively.

These three tokens represent the rights within the inner quarters of the governor's mansion.

Dong Yi was in charge of handling some external affairs, while Diao Chan handled some internal affairs.

Looking at the token that Dong Yi voluntarily handed over, the meaning was self-evident.

At this moment, Li Jue and Guo Si, standing behind Duan Yu, looked at Niu Yaodi with eyes full of resentment.

The Liangzhou faction's influence was never as strong as that of Chen Qing'an and others who were close confidants of Duan Yu.

Originally, Li Jue, Guo Si, and the others thought that Duan Yu's arrival in Liangzhou would give them a chance to make a good impression.

Given their performance in the previous battle at Shehu Valley, their entry into Liangzhou has clearly become more important.

But after this incident...

As members of the Tung faction, their future will certainly be even more difficult.

A general who is not trusted is as good as one who has no troops.

No opportunity to participate means no opportunity for promotion.

Niu Yaodi and Dong Huang's actions have almost ruined half of their future!

Zhang Xiu was too young to understand this point.

But how could seasoned veterans like Li Jue and Guo Si not see through it?

So the way they stared at Niu Yaodi was as if they wanted to kill her.

At this moment, Dong Yi took out the token.

This is lowering their status.

Duan Yu glanced at the token in Dong Yi's hand.

Then he flipped over and got off the Crimson Dragon Cloud-Treading Beast.

He then slowly took off his cloak and draped it behind Dong Yi, before putting the token that Dong Yi had taken out back into his hand.

Dong Yi looked up at Duan Yu, her eyes filled with glistening tears.

Duan Yu smiled slightly.

Some things, some words, don't need to be said.

A single glance, a single gesture, is enough.

Duan Yu reached out and pulled Diao Chan, who was standing to the side, and then they walked together into Ji County.

As for Niu Yaodi, there is also Dong Huang.

As Duan Yu passed by Niu Yaodi and Dong Huang, he turned his head and glanced at the more than one hundred people from the Niu clan of Didao behind him, casually saying only one sentence:

"Except for Dong Huang, kill everyone else, leave no one alive!"

“Send Dong Huang to Hedong County.”

At Duan Yu's command, the soldiers dismounted.

Then the members of the Didao Niu clan in the prison cart were taken directly to the edge of the moat.

No matter how loudly Niu Yaodi shouted, even revealing that she was pregnant with Dong Huang's child, she still couldn't get Duan Yu or Dong Yi to turn around.

With the falling of the long sword, the name of the Niu family of Didao will be erased from Liangzhou from this day forward.

Terrified, Dong Huang collapsed to the ground and wet his pants; he was completely dumbfounded.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao followed Duan Yu into the city.

As they walked across the red-stained moat, the two shook their heads repeatedly as they looked at the crimson water in the pool.

"Ziyi is truly a hero." Cao Cao exclaimed, "A true man should have this kind of spirit. I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me."

"They slaughtered countless foreigners, showing no mercy even to their own kin."

"When can I be like Ziyi?"
