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

That night.

Inside Lu Zhi's eastern camp outside Guangzong City.

What happened during the day has become a topic of conversation among the soldiers in the camp.

The bravery of Lü Bu, the vanguard general under Duan Yu.

And Duan Yu's domineering and powerful martial arts skills.

Even that kneeling in front of the prison cart has become a topic of conversation among all the soldiers.

Although they are on the opposite side of Duan Yu today.

But no one could help but envy Duan Yu.

At such an age.

Former General.

Governor of Liangzhou.

Marquis of Duxiang.

And they also possess such formidable combat skills.

Moreover, it is said that Duan Yu had a wife who was as beautiful as a fairy.

People like Duan Yu are naturally the envy of others.

Of course, if there are main characters in a story, there will naturally be supporting characters.

Today's supporting characters are Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, the three brothers.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei had been following Lu Zhi in battle for quite some time.

Although the soldiers couldn't recall the three brothers' names, they had all met them before.

The supporting characters appeared and were instantly killed by the protagonist, with two suffering minor injuries and one suffering serious injuries.

If Lu Zhi hadn't intervened in time, the three brothers would probably all be lying together now.

In front of Lu Zhi's central command tent under the cover of night.

Liu Bei, with his head wrapped in a white cloth, was walking towards Lu Zhi's central command tent with his head down.

Even from a great distance, the guards standing in front of Lu Zhi's tent spotted Liu Bei.

He then turned his head and whispered to his companion beside him.

Liu Bei turned a deaf ear.

Of course, it wasn't just Liu Bei pretending not to hear; in fact, Liu Bei could only hear with one ear, while the other ear was completely deaf.

When Liu Bei was young, he met a fortune teller.

The man said that his ears were a sign of natural nobility, and that he would surely achieve great things in the future.

Over the years, wherever Liu Bei went, people often marveled at his large ears, saying it was a sign of wealth and nobility.

But now...

Recalling the bloody ear that had fallen to the ground during the day, Liu Bei felt the pain intensify.

"Duan Yu..."

Liu Bei, with his head down, had a very pale expression, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists.

"I will avenge this sooner or later."

Arriving in front of Lu Zhi's tent, Liu Bei slightly raised his hands, pretending nothing had happened, and calmly bowed, saying, "Please inform them that Liu Bei has come."

The guard glanced at Liu Bei, then turned and went into the tent to report.

Before long, Lu Zhi let Liu Bei in.

Upon entering the tent, which was lit by candlelight, Liu Bei saw Lu Zhi sitting behind a table in the tent.

"Xuande has arrived, please have a seat." Lu Zhi gestured for him to sit down.

He then bent down, carefully packed the letter in his hand, and sealed it with wax.

Seeing that Lu Zhi had finished his work, Liu Bei bowed to Lu Zhi and said, "Master Lu, I have disgraced you today."

After putting the letter away, Lu Zhi shook his head and said, "This is not your fault."

"You don't need to blame yourself. On the contrary, it's the three of you brothers who got injured during the training that I feel a little guilty about."

"How are Yide and Yunchang's injuries?"

Hearing Lu Zhi say this, Liu Bei felt a little relieved.

"Thank you for your concern, Master Lu. My second brother's injuries are not serious; he just needs to rest more."

“Yide…”

Liu Bei took a deep breath.

Guan Yu only took one punch from Duan Yu, which caused some internal injuries from the shock to his abdomen. He will recover after a period of recuperation.

But Zhang Fei did indeed take a real blow from Duan Yu's weapon.

Although it was only one strike, that one strike shattered Zhang Fei's chest armor.

Furthermore, his bones were broken and his tendons were fractured, resulting in severe internal injuries.

The doctors all said that if Zhang Fei hadn't been wearing armor, and if he hadn't been thrown backward when he was hit, he would have lost some of the force.

This attack will likely kill Zhang Fei.

Therefore, Liu Bei made a clear assessment of Duan Yu's martial prowess.

Duan Yu's martial prowess is far beyond what ordinary people can contend with.

There is probably no one in this world who could kill Duan Yu in a one-on-one situation.

While bandaging his wounds in the camp that afternoon, Liu Bei mentally rehearsed the scenario countless times.

How can I kill Duan Yu?

Large numbers of cavalry charged continuously, firing arrows from a distance, or binding the enemy and sniping them with powerful crossbows or bombarding them with ballistae...

Liu Bei mentally rehearsed all sorts of methods countless times.

"Yide's injuries are a bit serious, but his life is not in danger. I'm sorry to have worried Master Lu," Liu Bei said, cupping his hands in greeting.

"Why....."

Lu Zhi sighed and said, "I never expected things to develop to this point. I also never imagined that Duan Yu would be so domineering and arrogant."

"This time, I was also used by someone."

Lu Zhi shook his head as he spoke.

Lu Zhi only realized belatedly that he had been used.

Of course, he can only blame himself for this.

If he hadn't written to the court, hoping to get the court to reprimand Dong Zhuo for cooperating with him in attacking Guangzong City...

Therefore, it will not be able to be exploited by others.

He was too eager to quell the unrest as quickly as possible, which is how this opening was found.

He didn't know which people in the court had submitted the memorial suggesting that Dong Zhuo be brought to Luoyang in a prison cart.

He didn't know who suggested he arrest Dong Zhuo.

But when the imperial order came, he had no choice but to obey.

Now those in the central government have achieved their goal.

Dong Zhuo was sent to Luoyang.

However, he offended Duan Yu severely.

He had witnessed Duan Yu's methods firsthand.

Now that Duan Yu is in Ji Province, the two of them will probably have a long time to spend together.

Given Duan Yu's personality, he would definitely not let this matter go easily.

There might be more trouble coming your way in the future.

"Xuande, take this letter." Lu Zhi handed the sealed letter to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei stood up, then bent down to take the letter from Lu Zhi's hand.

Liu Bei was taken aback when he saw the three words on the envelope.

Letter of recommendation?

"Master Lu..." Liu Bei looked up at Lu Zhi with a confused and puzzled expression.

"Sigh..." Lu Zhi sighed, gestured for Liu Bei to sit down, and then said:

“Xuande, I originally planned to recommend you as a candidate for officialdom after the suppression of the Yellow Turban rebels, and then let you enter the court to serve as an official. But now it seems that this is not possible.”

Lu Zhi took a deep breath and said, "Now that this has happened, Duan Yu will definitely not let it go."

"Furthermore, he has already arrived in Ji Province, and Duan Yu will inevitably seek revenge in the future."

"It was already clear from his time in Bingzhou that he was a vengeful person."

"The Wang brothers of Jinyang, as well as the governor of Liangzhou and others, were all personally sent to prison by Duan Yu."

"I'm not worried about myself, but about you three brothers."

"You three brothers have followed me in suppressing the rebellion and have made great contributions. If Duan Yu targets you, I'm afraid..."

Lu Zhi shook his head and said, "Duan Yu is now a former general. If Duan Yu targets you, I'm afraid even I can't protect him."

"Therefore, this letter of introduction is prepared for you by your master. Take this letter and go to Xuzhou."

"Tao Qian of Xuzhou is an old friend of mine. He will surely arrange a position for you so that you can settle down in Xuzhou."

"Tao Qian is now the governor of Xuzhou. Moreover, he is a man of upright character and has a high reputation. With him looking out for us in Xuzhou, it is a good way out."

Liu Bei looked at the letter in his hand.

For a moment, I felt a buzzing in my head.

Was he... dismissed?

Liu Bei wanted to say something, but looking at the letter in his hand, he couldn't speak for a long time.

After a long while, Liu Bei slowly stood up and then bowed respectfully to Lu Zhi.

"Thank you very much, Master Lu. I am deeply grateful. I feel ashamed that I cannot serve you."

Liu Bei said with a choked voice, "If Lu Shi ever needs my help again, just keep writing to me. I will do my utmost to repay Lu Shi's kindness."

Lu Zhi nodded and said, "Xuande, you are loyal and righteous. As long as you stick to this, you will surely achieve great things in the future."

"Go, set off tonight. I have prepared some things for you, take them with you."

Liu Bei nodded and did not refuse.

He knew perfectly well why he was being asked to leave tonight.

The journey to Xuzhou is a long way, and if we travel during the day, we risk being discovered by Duan Yu.

The journey was long and arduous; if Duan Yu discovered their whereabouts and ambushed them along the way, the three brothers would be doomed.

"Take care, Master Lu. I'm leaving now."

After bowing and taking his leave, Liu Bei hurriedly walked out of the tent.

After watching Liu Bei leave, Lu Zhi stood up with his hands behind his back and sighed deeply.

They arrived outside the camp.

Looking at the dark night sky outside, Lu Zhi suddenly felt a chill run through his body.

The feeling was as if, in the pitch-black night sky, a pair of eyes were watching him.
