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

While Zhang Ning hesitated, more than a dozen Yellow Turban warriors rushed over from outside the county government building, all of them wielding swords and knives.

"Miss, there's no time left. If we don't leave now, it will be too late."

Jia Dong looked at Zhang Ning in front of him, then turned to look behind him with a resolute and indignant expression.

"Young Miss, you take the Great Teacher with you first, the two of us..."

Jia Dong stood up, brandished his sword from beside the two Yellow Turban warriors killed by Hao Zhao, and said resolutely, "I, Jia Dong, will stop them even if I die today!"

With that, Jia Dong made a dashing turn, leaving behind a not-so-impressive silhouette.

Zhang Ning was moved at this moment.

"You...you guys hang in there."

Zhang Ning flicked the whip in his hand, then hung it on his waist and turned to walk into the room behind him.

At this moment, more than a dozen Yellow Turban warriors from the Taiping Dao had already rushed to the door.

However, due to the terrain, Hao Zhao was alone blocking the entrance, with courtyard walls on both sides, making him somewhat like a one-man stronghold that could not be breached by ten thousand men.

Jia Dong hid behind Hao Zhao.

"Boss, are we really going to stay here and cover their escape?" Hao Zhao asked.

Jia Dong rolled his eyes, feeling an urge to stab the guy in front of him from behind.

"You're crazy! We're here to make a name for ourselves, not to die."

"Shut up, just stay quiet and watch my performance," Jia Dong said, rolling his eyes.

Just as Jia Dong finished speaking, Zhang Ning carried the unconscious Zhang Jiao out of the house.

Jia Dong's small eyes darted around, and then he immediately pointed to the courtyard wall they had just climbed over in the backyard.

"Miss, go out that way. There's no one outside. We checked when we came."

As he spoke, Jia Dong dashed towards the courtyard wall.

Zhang Ning carried Zhang Jiao on his back and walked towards the courtyard wall.

But when they arrived at the courtyard wall, Zhang Ning frowned as she glanced at the wall, which was taller than a person.

If one person were to climb up, it wouldn't be too strenuous.

But carrying someone on your back...

Just as Zhang Ning was hesitating, Jia Dong's action immediately moved Zhang Ning deeply.

Jia Dong knelt down directly below the courtyard wall.

Support yourself with your hands on the ground.

"Young Miss, go!"

“Miss, step on me and I’ll lift you up!” Jia Dong turned to look at Zhang Ning.

righteous.

At this moment, Jia Dong's thin body appeared quite majestic to Zhang Ning.

Zhang Ning glanced at Hao Zhao, who was fighting behind him, and then at Jia Dong, who was kneeling on the ground.

These are what you call righteous people, aren't they?

Nodding, Zhang Ning carried Zhang Jiao to the courtyard wall, then stepped on Jia Dong's back and placed Zhang Jiao directly on the wall.

Kneeling on the ground, Jia Dong grimaced, enduring the pain in his knees.

My lord, I, Jia Dong...

Although I, Jia Dong, am not a fierce general charging into battle, today...

That counts as a meritorious service!

With the weight on his back lightening, Jia Dong had a chance to turn around and glance back, only to find that Zhang Ning had already climbed up the courtyard wall.

Jia Dong immediately got up.

"Bo Dao, retreat!" Jia Dong shouted at Hao Zhao, who was blocking the door.

Hao Zhao glanced back, nodded, and then turned and sprinted backward.

Before Jia Dong could react, Hao Zhao had already climbed over the courtyard wall.

"Holy shit, you....."

Seeing Hao Zhao climb over the courtyard wall, Jia Dong was startled.

He went up there, what am I going to do?

This guy... could he be trying to take all the credit for himself and leave me out?

For a moment, Jia Dong's thoughts were racing.

However, Hao Zhao, who was perched on the courtyard wall, reached out his hand to Jia Dong.

"Boss, come here."

Only then did Jia Dong banish the unrealistic thoughts from his mind, and then he grabbed Hao Zhao's hand and was pulled up onto the courtyard wall.

Outside the courtyard wall.

Zhang Ning carried Zhang Jiao on his back.

Hao Zhao and Jia Dong had already climbed down from the courtyard wall.

The Yellow Turban warriors of the Taiping Dao were shouting and chasing after them from inside the courtyard.

"Young Miss, let him carry the Great Teacher on his back, let's go first."

“From the north of the city, from the north of the city.”

Jia Dong pointed in the direction north of Quliang City.

Zhang Bao just left the city in the south; if they want to run faster, they have to go in the opposite direction.

Zhang Ning nodded and then handed Zhang Jiao over to Hao Zhao.

The three then quickly fled north of the city through the alleyways.

They didn't say a word the whole way, only focused on escaping for their lives.

Just as they were about to leave the city from the north, Jia Dong was "lucky" enough to find a horse-drawn carriage.

With the help of the carriage, the group was able to escape much faster.

After leaving the north of Quliang City, they fled all the way towards Julu County.

The dozens of Yellow Turban warriors from the Taiping Dao behind them "unfortunately" encountered a group of fierce bandits after leaving the city, and all of them died on the way after being shot by crossbow bolts.

...........

Time flies.

Just as Yuan Shao was defeated and Zhang Bao ordered a pursuit, the pursuit headed towards Ye City.

Zhang Bao then led his few remaining cavalrymen back to Quliang City.

Since we are heading to Ye City, we cannot linger here.

But before leaving, Zhang Bao was determined to take Zhang Jiao with him.

At this moment, Zhang Liang was also behind Zhang Bao.

The two returned together to the back residence of the county government.

However, when Zhang Bao pushed open the back gate of the mansion and saw the group of Yellow Turban warriors lying in pools of blood, his head immediately went blank.

"Where are they? Where have they all gone?!"

Zhang Bao roared angrily.

The backyard was deathly silent.

When Zhang Bao stormed into the inner quarters in a fit of rage and saw the empty bed, he nearly fainted from anger.

"Second brother, eldest brother..." Zhang Liang also looked at the empty sickbed.

Zhang Bao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

His eyes were filled with gloom.

"It must be...it must be someone who kidnapped my elder brother while we were away. Yes, that's it!"

"They can't have gone far. Chase them! Send men to chase them immediately!"

"I absolutely cannot let my elder brother... I cannot let my elder brother be harmed."

...........

An afternoon of running away.

Hao Zhao drove the car, Jia Dong sat outside, and Zhang Ning and Zhang Jiao and his daughter sat inside. The four of them fled all the way to Zhangshui.

It was already dark.

Jia Dong did not choose to head north, because such an escape route would be easily guessed by Zhang Bao.

Heading north from Quliang City leads to Julu County.

Moreover, one can travel smoothly back to Julu along the Guangping County route.

But this is the most obvious escape route.

Zhang Bao couldn't be stupid; he couldn't possibly have guessed this.

So, after fleeing north for a while after leaving the city, Jia Dong decided to head east.

They crossed the Zhang River east of Wei Commandery, and then traveled north along the Zhang River to Quzhou County, which was not far from Julu Commandery.

In fact, if Zhang Jiao simply returned to any county in Julu Commandery, he could almost certainly turn the tide and escape danger, given his prestige in the Taiping Dao.

At this moment, the carriage had stopped on the banks of the Zhangshui River.

Zhang Ning also got off the carriage.

Jia Dong, with two footprints on his back, came to Zhang Ning.

“Young Miss, we are safe for now. As long as we continue north along the Zhang River tomorrow, we will be able to return to Julu County soon.”

"Once we reach Julu County, with the prestige of the Great Teacher of Virtue, we will be completely out of danger."

Zhang Ning nodded, looking at Jia Dong with gratitude: "Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, my father and I wouldn't have been able to escape."

"With righteous people like you helping my father, all his years of hard work have not been in vain."

"Don't worry, once we get back to Julu and settle down, I will make sure my father thanks you personally," Zhang Ning said.

Jia Dong's eyes darted around.

It seems that this situation is not quite what you described.

When Lord Jun was in trouble, Lady Ren came to his rescue. Later, when Lady Ren's family was in trouble, Lord Jun helped them out. Later, Lady Ren married Lord Jun.

Logically speaking, shouldn't the beauty repay the hero with her body after he saves her?

How did it come to this, where she was asked to have her father express his gratitude...?

"Miss, please rest here for a while. We'll go gather the firewood." Jia Dong winked at Hao Zhao.

By this time, Zhang Ning had already let down his guard and suspicion, and nodded casually.

"Thank you, you've worked hard."

Jia Dong and Hao Zhao exchanged a wink before walking away into the distance.

After walking a short distance, Hao Zhao lowered his voice curiously and asked, "Boss, what should we do next?"

"Should we take Zhang Jiao directly to Lord Jun?"

Jia Dong squatted on the ground, picking up some branches as he shook his head.

"It is now clear that the Way of Peace has slipped out of Zhang Jiao's control."

"Sending Zhang Jiao to you now is just like sending a head; it's a small contribution and won't have much impact on the overall situation."

"This matter... we can't make the decision ourselves," Jia Dong said, glancing around.

Then he took a whistle out of his pocket and blew it.

As the whistle sounded, a figure suddenly emerged from the distance, shrouded in the darkness of night.

Hao Zhao was still looking curiously at the whistle in Jia Dong's hand.

They didn't even notice the ghost-like figure.

By the time Hao Zhao noticed, the figure was already very close.

Hao Zhao was startled and was about to make a move.

Jia Dong grabbed him.

"What are you doing? Are you out of your mind?"

Jia Dong breathed a sigh of relief.

The shadowy figure gradually revealed its true form.

It was a young face with a shy smile.

When Jia Dong saw that face clearly, he couldn't help but shudder.

"How...how come it's you?" Jia Dong said, bowing.

Liu Baitu nodded slightly and smiled, "Your Majesty has ordered the Military Affairs Office to focus on Ji Province and fully cooperate with you. I have been here for almost ten days now."

As Liu Baitu spoke, he looked in the direction of Zhang Jiao's carriage.

"You have done a great service this time; the Lord has not misjudged you."

"It's a pity you're in business. If you're willing, I can talk to Lord Junhou after we get back and get you into the Grand Council."

Jia Dong immediately shook his head like a rattle drum.

"No, no, no, thank you, thank you for your kindness, Lord Liu. Jia Dong is good at business, but he can't do what you do, sir."

Jia Dong quickly changed the subject, saying, "Lord Liu, this horn is now in our hands. We need to consult with you, Lord Liu, about what to do next."

Liu Baitu shook his head and said, "I will send someone to deliver the message to Lord Jun."

"The situation here is something that you, my lord, cannot take into account while in Yingchuan."

"Now that the followers of the Taiping Dao are blocking the road, the speed of news transmission is also slow due to the blocked roads. It will probably take a long time to wait for your decision, my lord."

"The Lord has already given orders that matters concerning this area in Ji Province shall be temporarily handled by the Military Affairs Office and the Military Advisor."

When the word "strategist" was mentioned, another person dressed in a black robe with his hands tucked into his sleeves stepped out from behind Liu Baitu.

After the person walked up to Jia Dong, he reached out and took out a golden token.

Upon seeing the token, Jia Dong knelt down on the ground with a thud.

He also casually tugged at Hao Zhao's trouser leg.

"What are you standing there for? This is the Lord's token."

"Seeing the token is like seeing a lord."

"Oh oh oh."

Hao Zhao nodded quickly, and then knelt down as well.

Jia Xu looked at Jia Dong and Hao Zhao and said, "Your Majesty has decreed that all matters concerning the Taiping Road in Ji Province be handled by Jia Xu. If there are any questions, please report them to me afterward."

"Jia Dong, listen to my command."

"Hao Zhao, obey my command."
