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

In a private residence not far from the county government in the east of Quliang City.

Dozens of Taiping Dao believers were crowding in the courtyard at this time.

Jia Dong, dressed in a light brown short-sleeved shirt and with a yellow headscarf wrapped around his head, was sitting in a corner of the courtyard.

Beside her was Hao Meng, who was dressed similarly.

"Master..."

Hao Meng, who was sitting next to Jia Dong, turned her head to look at Jia Dong.

"We're just stuck here all day, unable to do anything."

"When will we ever achieve anything at this rate?"

Hao Meng was clearly in low spirits.

Previously, he had infiltrated the Taiping Dao with Jia Dong, who promised him that after he made a contribution, he would go to Liangzhou and recommend him to Duan Yu's side.

But now, more than half a month has passed, and they have been following Taipingdao around.

If he continued like this, he was starting to really believe he was a bandit.

Furthermore, I haven't left Quliang City since I entered it.

If things continue like this, Hao Meng doesn't know when it will end.

In case the imperial army surrounds us one day, I hope I won't be killed as a rebel.

Sitting in the corner, Jia Dong wiped his nose with his sleeve, his small eyes darting around as he looked at his surroundings.

"Don't worry, I have a feeling that a huge change is about to happen in Quliang City," Jia Dong said in a low voice.

"what?"

Hao Meng looked at Jia Xu with a puzzled expression: "A huge change?"

Jia Dong nodded and said, "Haven't you noticed? Zhang Jiao hasn't come out for a long time. If I'm not mistaken, something must have happened to Zhang Jiao."

“These days, it’s his two younger brothers, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, who are in charge in the city.”

"Zhang Bao was also the one who ordered the attack on Quliang City that day."

"It might not be good..."

Hao Meng's eyes widened instantly: "Master, are you saying that Zhang Jiao might be dead?"

"Or were they controlled by his two brothers?"

Jia Dong shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, let's wait and see. Anyway, I just feel that the atmosphere in this city is getting more and more strange."

Just as Jia Xu finished speaking, shouts rang out from the long street in Quliang City.

Groups of burly Yellow Turban warriors walked down the long street, announcing the assembly of all followers of the Way of Peace.

Upon hearing the sound, the Taiping Dao believers in the courtyard where Jia Dong and Hao Meng were located all began to walk out of the courtyard.

Jia Dong winked at Hao Meng, and then they followed the crowd out.

Before long, a large number of Taiping Dao believers had gathered around the gate of Quliang County Government.

In the distance, even more Taiping Dao believers were gathering in this direction.

In front of the county government building.

A platform several meters high has been erected and covered with yellow flags.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard of the county government residence.

Zhang Bao and his brother Zhang Liang had already changed into yellow Taoist robes.

And everyone was holding a sword.

Zhang Bao looked excited.

Zhang Liang, on the other hand, was somewhat uneasy.

"Second brother...do we really have to do this?"

Before the battle, Zhang Liang looked at Zhang Bao nervously and asked.

"Third brother, things have come to this. It's not that we want to do this; the government and the imperial court are forcing us to!"

"Only by taking up arms, only by marching to Luoyang, only by driving those people out of Luoyang, can we survive!" Zhang Bao said firmly.

As he spoke, Zhang Bao patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, eight of the thirteen provinces have already responded. As long as we cross the Yellow River, we will be able to unite as one."

"Now the followers in Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou are advancing like a whirlwind."

"The conquest of the eight passes of Luoyang is just around the corner."

Zhang Bao became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light.

Seeing that the believers outside had gathered to a sufficient extent, Zhang Bao patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder forcefully, then turned and walked towards the high platform.

Zhang Bao, dressed in a yellow Taoist robe and holding a wooden sword, walked onto the high platform, and instantly the Taiping Dao believers surrounding the Quliang County government residence shouted.

Zhang Bao raised his hands, his face flushed with excitement.

Zhang Liang stood below the platform, looking at Zhang Bao on it with a worried expression.

"Everyone!"

Zhang Bao shouted loudly, "My brother, your great and wise teacher, has not appeared these past few days because he is performing rituals to foreshadow the future of the Way of Peace!"

"Today, my elder brother, your great and wise teacher, has deduced the course of Heaven and learned the future of the Way of Peace!"

"The emperor is incompetent, the people suffer terribly, we, the suffering people of the world, are ignored and have no one to rely on in life, old age, sickness and death."

"This is the cruelty of Heaven."

"The Great Teacher of Virtue wanted to save all the people of the world and wanted to make a pilgrimage to tell the emperor about the suffering of the starving people."

"Alas, the court is full of incompetent and treacherous officials who do not listen to our advice and even send troops to attack us!"

"Those people outside the city, they want us dead!"

"But we must live!"

Zhang Bao raised his arms and shouted, "The Great Teacher opens the altar for all the people of the world to pray to the Yellow Heaven for blessings."

"Received the blessing of the Yellow Heaven".

"We are to eradicate evil and uphold justice for all people, restore order to the world, and execute the treacherous officials in the court!"

"Huang Tian indicates that your Great Teacher will be the Heavenly General, I will be the Earthly General, and my third brother will be the Human General, leading a million Taiping Dao believers from all over the world to gather in Luoyang!"

Zhang Bao raised his peach wood sword high, pointing it to the sky, and said, "The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise; in the year of Jiazi, great fortune will come to the world!"

"This is the will of Heaven! From this day forward, we shall take up arms and bring peace to the world!"

As Zhang Bao shouted, he looked at the Yellow Turban warriors surrounding the high platform.

Led by the Yellow Turban Warriors, all the followers of the Way of Peace raised their arms and shouted loudly.

Zhang Bao stood on the high platform, raised his hands and shouted: "The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise!"

Below, countless voices within Quliang City echoed the same cry.

"The sky is dead, Huang Tian must stand!"

"If you are at the age of sixty, the world will be blessed!"

"The sky is dead, Huang Tian must stand!"

"If you are at the age of sixty, the world will be blessed!"

The shouts came in waves.

Among the crowd, Jia Dong and Hao Meng also raised their hands and shouted along.

However, while shouting, Hao Meng turned to look at Jia Dong, her gaze seeming to say, "Dongjia is awesome, you actually guessed right."

Inside a room in the back residence of the county government.

Sitting beside Zhang Jiao's hospital bed, Zhang Ning, looking somewhat haggard and dozing off with her chin resting on her hand, was awakened by the loud shouts outside.

Zhang Ning opened her beautiful eyes and looked towards the outside with a puzzled expression.

The shouts reached Zhang Ning's ears clearly.

Zhang Ning, unaware of what had happened, got up wearing a yellow dress and walked outside.

As soon as Zhang Ning pushed open the door, the howling shouts became even clearer.

"Heaven is dead!"

"Huang Tian is standing!"

"The year is Jiazi!"

"Good luck to the world!"

Standing at the doorway, Zhang Ning could clearly hear shouts coming from afar.

Zhang Ning, her brows furrowed, also saw Zhang Bao on the high platform in the distance.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Ning was taken aback.

"Take up your weapons! Tomorrow, I, the general, will lead you out of here!" Zhang Bao shouted from the high platform.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ning's expression changed drastically.

So he closed the door behind him and walked out into the courtyard.

However, just as Zhang Ning was about to step out of the courtyard, several Yellow Turban warriors blocked his way.

"What are you doing!" Zhang Ning shouted, looking at the several unfamiliar Yellow Turban warriors: "Get out of the way!"

The Yellow Turban warriors blocking Zhang Ning's way remained motionless.

"Didn't you hear me tell you to get out of the way? Don't you know who I am? I am the daughter of the Great Teacher of Virtue, I..."

“Young Miss, we are acting on the orders of General Di Gong. No one may enter or leave at will unless ordered by General Di Gong.”

Zhang Ning stood there, stunned.

Earth God General?

What Earthly General?

Zhang Ning looked around.

All the guards who used to be by her father's side were nowhere to be found.

All the Yellow Turban warriors around him were unfamiliar faces.

"I want to see my second uncle and third uncle," Zhang Ning said, frowning.

The Yellow Turban Warrior blocking the courtyard gate shook his head again and said, "Young Miss, General Earth and General Human are busy."

"If the young lady wishes to see the two generals, we will act as their interpreters."

"However, please don't make things difficult for us, Miss."

Zhang Ning's face stiffened.

He's under house arrest!

Once she realized what was happening, Zhang Ning understood that she was being held under house arrest.

Not only her, but also her father.

The only ones who could accomplish all of this were her second uncle, Zhang Bao, and her third uncle, Zhang Liang.

Earthly General, Human General!

Zhang Ning's gaze fell upon Zhang Bao on the distant high platform.
