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

Night falls, and countless stars twinkle in the vast night sky.

After a whole day of hustle and bustle, the prefect's residence finally began to quiet down.

In the winding corridors and narrow passageways of the inner courtyard, exquisite lanterns hang high, emitting a warm and soft glow like twinkling stars, illuminating the entire area.

Duan Yu, who had been working diligently in his study for a long time, finally finished his work.

He stretched gently, loosened his stiff body, and then stood up.

Two maids carrying lanterns were waiting quietly outside the door. They bowed slightly, indicating that they would light the way for Duan Yu.

He stepped out of the study.

He walked slowly along the corridor, illuminated by the lanterns held by the maids.

Before long, they arrived at Dong Yi's courtyard.

Upon seeing Duan Yu arrive, the maidservant guarding the door immediately ran back inside to inform Dong Yi.

Dong Yi's bedroom was very warm.

As Dong Yi's belly grew larger and larger each day, Duan Yu sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroking her protruding belly with one hand, and then asked with a smile, "Tell your father, are you a boy or a girl?"

Duan Yu tilted his head and listened to Dong Yi's lower abdomen.

Covered with a thick, plush quilt, Dong Yi smiled gently at Duan Yu.

"Does my husband hope for a boy or a girl?"

"I like them all. As long as they are born to my Yi'er, I will naturally like them all."

Duan Yu stood up and answered with a smile.

He then asked Dong Yi how she was feeling.

After exchanging a few words with the couple, Duan Yu got up and left.

Since Dong Yi's pregnancy is progressing further, it is no longer suitable for Duan Yu to stay overnight.

With a female doctor watching over him in his room every day, Duan Yu had nothing to worry about.

After leaving Dong Yi's villa, Duan Yu went to Diao Chan's villa to inquire about her well-being.

This impartiality meant that Duan Yu had to visit each room almost every day.

However, after leaving Diao Chan's room, Duan Yu stood in the back courtyard, feeling somewhat lost.

Because... because he seemed to have nowhere else to go.

Just two days ago.

Good news also came from Suhe.

Suhe is pregnant.

Yes, she is pregnant.

This left Duan Yu feeling like an empty-nest old man.

Although he had several beautiful wives and concubines at home.

But now there is nowhere for him to stay.

Standing in the courtyard, Duan Yu, wearing a black cloak, felt the cold wind.

"Something's not right..."

Before he time-traveled, he had never heard of any of the women he had slept with getting pregnant so easily.

How come after time travel, it's as if I've become a sharpshooter?

I wouldn't say I'd hit the bullseye every time, but after a hundred shots, I'd definitely hit it.

First it was Diao Chan, then Dong Yi, and now Su He has arrived.

Duan Yu suspected that it was related to the phrase "Time is money".

He now has another worry: what if the two sisters in Luoyang also...?

Although there were maids in the house who would serve him in bed.

But it always feels like something's missing.

The maids in the mansion all seemed to be very afraid of him.

"Let's go."

Duan Yu shook his head after standing in the cold wind for a while, then lifted his foot.

The two maids leading the way in front of Duan Yu looked completely bewildered.

Then, she timidly turned around and glanced at Duan Yu.

"General...where is the General going?" the maid asked, bowing her head.

Uh......

This question stumped Duan Yu.

"Let's go... let's go to the Intermediate People's Court," Duan Yu said casually.

The two maids then turned around and bowed their heads to lead the way attentively.

Before long, Duan Yu arrived at the central courtyard.

Intermediate courts are generally used to accommodate distinguished guests or to meet important dignitaries.

However, since Niu Yaodi and Dong Huang died, no one else has been placed here.

As Duan Yu walked, he suddenly discovered a secluded courtyard with a fire lit up.

A beautiful figure instantly appeared in my mind.

Huh.....

How could I have forgotten her?

Thinking about it, Duan Yu walked towards the courtyard.

There were no maids at the gate of the courtyard, only a small maid standing at the entrance to the house.

The maid was clearly taken aback when she saw Duan Yu.

After realizing what was happening, he immediately bowed to Duan Yu.

"Is General Wang asleep?" Duan Yu asked.

The maidservant quickly shook her head: "Reporting to the general, not yet."

Duan Yu nodded and then stepped into the house.

As the maid pushed open the door, a wave of warm air mixed with the fragrance of a woman rushed out of the room, instantly giving Duan Yu a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.

My previously empty heart seemed to have been filled a little.

Inside the room, candles were lit.

Upon hearing the sound outside the door, Wang Yi instinctively stood up.

The person living inside was none other than Wang Yi, who had returned from the retreat with the infantry from Jincheng County.

When the infantry retreated from Yunwu County, they brought back all the wounded soldiers and seriously wounded men from the Battle of Yunwu.

After Duan Yu's treatment, most of the seriously wounded soldiers who were originally doomed to die, though some suffered lifelong disabilities, survived.

These veterans, despite being wounded or disabled, can still pass on their battlefield experience to new recruits.

As a former soldier, Duan Yu understands the importance of veterans very well.

On the battlefield, most new recruits will feel more or less panicked when they first face the enemy.

This is where the veterans come in.

To calm the new recruits down and teach them how to survive on the battlefield.

How to face the enemy's charge, and how to arrange troops in formation.

These are all valuable experiences.

It was bought with human lives and scars.

Moreover, veterans have a much stronger ability to withstand pressure than new recruits.

If an army is composed entirely of new recruits, it may collapse when it suffers losses of 20%.

However, if these new recruits are mixed with a certain number of veterans, they may not be defeated until they have lost 30% of their troops.

However, if there are enough veterans.

It is also possible that the army was not defeated even when it had lost half its troops.

Wang Yi was also brought to Yunwu along with the wounded veterans.

Because I left Yunwu in a hurry that day.

Therefore, Duan Yu's order to Guo Xian, the temporary county magistrate, was to transfer all the wounded soldiers to Ji County.

Wang Yi was naturally among these wounded soldiers.

So they were sent along with it.

Duan Yu only discovered this after he returned from Lintao County.

Inside the room, when Wang Yi saw that it was Duan Yu, her beautiful eyes immediately filled with surprise and a little panic.

"General... General, what brings you here so late at night?"

At this point, Wang Yi's back injury was basically healed.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just happened to be passing by and wanted to see how your injuries are healing," Duan Yu asked casually.

He looked around Wang Yi's room and asked, "How are you finding it? Are you getting used to living here?"

Wang Yi immediately nodded and replied, "Thank you... thank you, General. It's very nice here."

It was not Duan Yu's idea for Wang Yi to live here, as Duan Yu was still in Lintao County at the time.

All the wounded soldiers, except for Wang Yi, were assigned to military camps outside the city.

But Wang Yi is a woman, so she can't be arranged to be with a group of men.

Finally, it was only after Jia Xu consulted Dong Yi that Wang Yi was assigned to this place.

Just as Wang Yi was replying, Duan Yu's gaze fell on a corner of Wang Yi's room.

There, a red garment was neatly folded.

Duan Yu recognized it at a glance.

Wang Yi seemed to notice Duan Yu's gaze, and her pretty face immediately turned red.

It was that cloak.

Duan Yu recognized it at a glance; it was the cloak he had torn off his body when Yunwu wrapped Wang Yi up as they came down from the city wall.

However, this cloak has clearly been starched.

It looks brand new.

"Oh...it's alright now. It's good that the injury has almost healed."

"Just stay here and rest assured. We'll talk about it again when you're fully recovered."

"I have already reported your merits to Luoyang, and the rewards will be issued there soon."

Wang Yi blushed and nodded silently.

Seeing that there was nothing more to say, Duan Yu took a breath and said, "It's nothing, I'll be going now."

"Go to sleep."

With that, Duan Yu walked towards the door.

As they walked, they kept waiting to see if anyone would try to stop them from leaving.

But after taking two steps, Duan Yu smiled and shook his head.

Wang Yi is not Su He.

Moreover, she is also Zhao Ang's fiancée.

Although Zhao Ang is dead, this identity still exists.

Can you really expect someone to let you stay overnight?

Duan Yu smiled and pushed open the door.

The crisp, cool air once again filled my clothes.

Just as Duan Yu mentioned Luoyang inside the house, the images of two beautiful women involuntarily surfaced in his mind as he stepped outside.

"Sigh... If only I were in Luoyang, I wouldn't have to be all alone in this empty room!"
