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

Dong Yi blinked her beautiful eyes and then nodded quickly.

Duan Yu took a deep breath.

If the days to come are peaceful and prosperous.

Then he has no say in the matter.

After all, he didn't understand the intricacies of officialdom.

But one more year!

At most one year.

The Han Dynasty was about to descend into chaos.

The world is in chaos, and the once powerful and influential aristocratic families in the court will all become slaves under the sword.

At that time, the title of "hereditary official with a salary of two thousand bushels of grain" was no longer valuable.

Let alone hereditary officials with a salary of two thousand shi (a unit of grain), even the emperor was worthless.

What will be the most prestigious thing when that time comes?

power!

The knife in my hand!

This is the most prestigious.

"Actually, I think your father completely went the long way around."

Duan Yu said cryptically, "The world seems peaceful now, but undercurrents are surging beneath the surface."

"If anything changes, it will be a cataclysmic change."

"What can those high-ranking officials in the court do then?"

"What can the Three Dukes do?"

"It's not certain that you can settle down and protect yourself."

"Since your family is of noble birth, why don't you sit back and observe the changing world?"

"I have heard that the Way of Peace is prevalent in Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yingchuan."

"It is said that Zhang Jiao of the Taiping Dao was once a rebel."

“Now that the Taiping Dao is so powerful, I suspect they might rebel again.”

"The Han Dynasty may seem powerful now, but it is all bark and no bite."

"When the master is weak and the servant is strong, the edifice will collapse in an instant if the world changes."

"Having power in your hands and adapting to changing circumstances is the key to victory."

Duan Yu was quite engrossed in his speech.

He didn't notice Dong Yi's beautiful eyes at all.

Was he... was he really just a hunter?

How does he know so much?

Dong Yi stared at Duan Yu with surprised eyes, utterly shocked.

Having courage and keeping one's word is already quite rare.

And then there's someone with a clever mind!

Courageous and resourceful, honest and trustworthy.

Dong Yi almost wanted to tell Duan Yu to stay.

But she knew that Duan Yu probably wouldn't agree.

She met Duan Yu's wife at the market that day.

what.....

He got married.

Dong Yibei bit her lip.

"What's wrong with you?" Duan Yu's words suddenly interrupted Dong Yi's annoyed thoughts.

"Ah." Dong Yi, feeling a little flustered, avoided his gaze and said, "No...it's nothing."

"Ahead, yes, just ahead, we've arrived."

Dong Yi pointed to a large house at the end of a distant alley.

There are two stone drums in front of the mansion, and the porch is spacious and imposing.

Soldiers holding weapons stood in front of the gate.

He seems to be a military general.

Duan Yu analyzed in his mind.

However, Duan Yu stopped the carriage before they even reached the gate of the mansion.

"Why did it stop?" Dong Yi asked Duan Yu curiously.

Duan Yu gave a wry smile and said, "Miss Dong, this is an oxcart."

"It wouldn't be good if your family or servants saw this."

"Besides, you just said you're not married yet."

"If it gets out that you are spending time alone with a man while you are still unmarried, it will probably damage your reputation."

"So, I think I'd better park the car here."

Dong Yi smiled slightly, lightly leaped down from the oxcart, put her hands behind her black skirt, and said in a somewhat playful and cute manner:

"If I'm not afraid, why are you afraid?"

"Could it be that you're afraid of your wife?"

"Afraid your wife will find out?"

"Are you afraid that I'll get attached to you, find your house, and your wife will find out?"

Duan Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "We are of different statuses, Miss Dong, please don't joke like that."

"What if I wasn't joking?"

Dong Yi suddenly spoke.

"Uh..." Duan Yu was choked and couldn't speak.

"Hehe, I was just kidding."

"Then wait here for me for a moment, I'll be right back."

As she spoke, Dong Yi skipped and hopped towards the distant mansion.

Duan Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead.

I thought to myself, "Wow, that's something."

Women from wealthy families are truly different.

Who knows which of those words are true and which are false?

There are too many twists and turns in my mind.

"Chan'er is still the best, so gentle and easy to win over," Duan Yu exclaimed.

..........

Inside the mansion.

As soon as she entered the room, Dong Yi's smile vanished.

She seemed like an ice queen, as if she had become a completely different person.

People passing by Dong Yi stopped, bowed, and addressed her as "Miss."

The first thing Dong Yi did upon returning to her room was to change into a brand new white dress.

Then he ordered his servants to fetch five hundred taels of gold.

"Cui Liu," Dong Yi said to one of the maids following behind him, "Go to the treasury and have Uncle Dong bring me that precious carved bow. Tell him I need it."

"Yes, Miss." The maid nodded in response and then turned to leave.

Before long, in the inner gate of the mansion, Dong Yi, dressed in a white dress, stood in front of a pure black warhorse, gently combing its mane.

Several mature women were also present, each carrying a tray.

Before long, a middle-aged man, accompanied by two soldiers, arrived in front of Dong Yi carrying a huge wooden box wrapped in Shu brocade.

"Young Miss, the precious carved bow has arrived," said the middle-aged butler, Uncle Dong.

Dong Yi nodded and then walked out of the mansion.

"Bring everything I've prepared."

..........

Far outside the mansion gate.

Duan Yu leaned against the oxcart.

They were already planning what to do after they got the money.

One hundred gold coins.

That's enough for him to do a lot of things.

The house needs to be rebuilt.

And spring is just around the corner, time to plant crops.

We also need to purchase some land.

and also.

What he just said to Dong Yi was actually what he himself was thinking.

The world seems peaceful now.

But soon, the Eastern Han Dynasty will undergo a major change.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Liangzhou Rebellion, the Youzhou Rebellion, the Yizhou Rebellion, the Jiaozhou Rebellion, and the Bingzhou Rebellion.

It seemed that the Great Han Dynasty was on the verge of collapse overnight.

Many officials were killed because of the rebellion.

The Zhang brothers of the Way of Peace, Beigong Boyu of Liangzhou, Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun of Youzhou...

How many local officials can you remain uninvolved in?

Even those aristocratic families with a thousand-year-old tradition, what can they do?

Yuan Wei's entire family, numbering several hundred, still fell to Dong Zhuo's butcher's knife!

Being an official doesn't mean you're useless.

But given his status, it's definitely useless.

It would be better to start accumulating strength slowly from now on.

Then wait until the world is in chaos and act accordingly.

"After returning, I will take over the position of patrolman and then win over all the young people in the village."

Duan Yu pondered to himself.

With the identity of a wandering official, plus the likes of Stone, they had gained their support.

They formed a militia team, and with Gao Shun, a genius at training troops, there was one.

Although the number is small, it should be enough for them to protect themselves.

This hunting business in the mountains can provide for basic needs, but it certainly won't make you rich.

Therefore, we still need to figure out a way to make money and accumulate wealth in the long term.

He was resting with his eyes closed, deep in thought.

As the gate to Fu opened in the distance, Duan Yu looked up and saw a large group of people walking out of the gate.

The one leading the group was Dong Yi, who was wearing a white dress.
