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

Wearing a white dress, Dong Yi appeared less composed but more lively and energetic.

After they stood up, four or five people followed, each carrying a tray covered with a red cloth.

And a soldier leading a warhorse.

In addition, two maids were carrying a large red brocade box.

Duan Yu: "......"

What is she going to do?

Could it be that he's going to give me a betrothal gift?

Why make such a big fuss?

While Duan Yu was pondering, Dong Yi had already come to stand opposite him with her hands behind her back and a smile on her face.

Then, following the etiquette of a well-bred lady, she placed her hands on her waist and bowed slightly.

"This humble woman is Dong Yi, greetings from the front."

"I am very grateful for your help today. I have prepared a small gift as a token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

As she spoke, Dong Yi waved behind her.

Five maids carrying trays stepped forward and then lifted the red cloth on the trays.

In an instant, golden light shone.

Each tray was neatly stacked with gold coins.

Gold was the highest form of currency, used primarily by wealthy families and powerful clans.

Ordinary people mostly used Wuzhu coins.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, gold ingots were not used; gold cakes were more common.

There were stacks of gold ingots piled up together, numbering in the hundreds.

Dong Yi smiled and said, "Here is five hundred gold coins."

"in addition."

Dong Yi waved again.

The attendant led the warhorse forward.

“I have heard that a fine horse is a hero’s gift. This warhorse is called the Jade Kirin Beast. It is a warhorse that my father worked hard to acquire. Today, I am also giving it to my benefactor.”

"besides."

besides?

Duan Yu was stunned.

That's incredibly extravagant!

Five hundred gold coins, and a horse that looks absolutely priceless.

It's no exaggeration to say that this is a fine horse, and that it's priceless.

Nowadays, even an ordinary warhorse costs tens of thousands of coins, while a better one costs one hundred thousand coins.

This is still in border regions like Liangzhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou.

In the Central Plains, in places like Xuzhou or Yanzhou, a good horse would cost no less than 200,000 coins.

But this only refers to the best horses among ordinary warhorses.

Like Lu Bu's Red Hare, Cao Cao's Shadowless Horse, Zhang Fei's Black Steed, Liu Bei's Dilu...

Even if you had a fortune, you might not be able to acquire a warhorse like this.

The warhorse before me, with not a single stray hair on its body, entirely black, and nearly eight feet tall at the shoulders, is an absolute gem, priceless.

It has to be said that Duan Yu will have to reassess Dong Yi's net worth again.

This family seems to be no ordinary powerful family.

Two maids, each carrying a red brocade box, approached Dong Yi.

Dong Yi opened the brocade box.

Duan Yu saw it; it was a bow.

The bow is a pale gold color, reflecting a metallic luster under the sunlight.

Two lifelike golden dragons are carved on the bow, flying to both sides.

The dragon's snout is exactly at both ends.

A single golden thread forms the bowstring.

In addition, there was a quiver filled with arrows.

It was impossible to tell what kind of leather the quiver was made of.

But it is surrounded by a ring of gemstones and jewels.

The light shines brightly.

“My benefactor is skilled with a bow and arrow,” Dong Yi said. “This bow is called the Treasure Carved Bow. It is incredibly powerful and only a brave warrior can draw it.”

"None of my father's generals can draw this bow."

"I present this to you today, my benefactor. Please accept it with a smile."

"in addition."

Another maid stepped forward.

He was holding a purple sandalwood box.

Dong Yi opened the drawer with gold rings inlaid on it.

It shimmers with pearly light.

It was filled with gold and silver jewelry.

"This is a gift for your wife, my benefactor. Please accept it with a smile."

Before Duan Yu could refuse...

The maids then placed the gifts one by one on the oxcart behind Duan Yu.

Leave the gifts and gold, and take the animal hides.

Even the warhorse was tied to Duan Yu's oxcart.

Dong Yi placed her hands in front of her and walked gracefully to Duan Yu.

With her back to the maid, Dong Yi winked playfully.

"Um..." Duan Yu looked at the graceful Dong Yi in front of him and said, "How about I save you twice more?"

Dong Yi's eyes widened instantly, then she covered her red lips, trying to suppress her laughter.

"Alright, take it." Dong Yi said with a smile, "Didn't you say you wanted to protect your family first? You got so much money today, it should be enough to protect your family, right?"

"To be honest with you, I originally wanted to recruit you on behalf of my father."

"But I've changed my mind now, I think you're right."

"No matter what, the foundation is the most important thing. Since I can't change my father, I'll do it myself."

"I hope you can come and help me when the time comes."

With sincerity in his eyes, he said, "Don't rush to refuse me. Don't worry, I will definitely give you a condition that you can't refuse."

"Okay, I'm going back now."

"You should go back too. Your beautiful wife is waiting for you at home," Dong Yi said softly, then turned around and waved goodbye with a flourish.

Duan Yu remained rooted to the spot, bewildered in the wind.

Until Dong Yi's figure disappeared.

Duan Yu then came to his senses.

"What a remarkable woman..."

...........

After lingering at Dong Yi's place for a while, Duan Yu left the city in the afternoon.

Just after exiting the East Gate, Duan Yu saw Gao Shun waiting outside the East Gate, guarding the broken-down carriage.

The deceased mother's body was no longer in the car, presumably she had already been buried.

"This way."

Duan Yu waved to Gao Shun.

With a stern face and not a trace of a smile, Gao Shun pulled his cart to Duan Yu's oxcart.

"Dead face."

Duan Yu muttered a curse under his breath.

Gao Shun came to the oxcart, but didn't look at him much. Instead, he carefully examined the black jade unicorn beast.

"You understand horses?" Duan Yu asked.

Gao Shun nodded.

"Like it?"

Duan Yu reached out and stroked the mane of the black jade Qilin beast.

He can ride a horse, but he's not very good at it.

I used to drive cars all the time, I never had the chance to ride a horse.

Duan Yu was stroking the mane of the Jade Qilin Beast when he felt the beast being tugged.

Then came Gao Shun's emotionless voice.

"Thank you for the horse, my lord."

"Holy shit!" Duan Yu cursed.

This thing!

Oh shit!

What an operation!

The oxcart was fully loaded with goods.

This trip to the city was very fruitful.

Five hundred gold coins, a horse, and a precious bow.

In addition to the animal hides that were sold previously.

This trip was incredibly profitable.

If you have money, you definitely have to spend it.

You definitely can't skimp on gifts for an obedient wife.

Jewelry was spared, as Dong Yi gave so much at once, and it was clear from the looks of it that it was quite valuable.

I just got a few more new outfits.

Gao Shun waved his whip, driving the oxcart.

Duan Yu lay on the oxcart, humming a tune with a dry blade of grass between his teeth, as he walked home.

...........

The entrance to Wucun Village.

An ordinary horse-drawn carriage slowly approached the village entrance.

The coachman walked over to a group of women who were gathered together at the village entrance, chatting about everyday matters.

"Excuse me, could you tell me where Li Gou'er lives?"
