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

The next day.

Inside Guangzong City.

Dressed in a black robe, Jia Dong walked with a gait that resembled the character "八" (eight), leading Hao Zhao towards the former county government building in the city.

Several Yellow Turban warriors stood guard in front of the county government building.

Upon seeing Jia Dong walking towards them with his feet turned outwards, they immediately straightened their backs and bowed.

"Divine messenger."

"Divine messenger."

"Your Excellency, Divine Envoy."

"Hmm, hmm." Jia Dong raised his chin, his expression both smug and proud.

Hao Zhao rolled his eyes as he followed behind Jia Dong.

There are still many Yellow Turban warriors guarding the county government compound.

After passing through the front yard, Jia Dong headed straight for the back house.

Near a pavilion in the garden behind the county government building, Zhang Ning, dressed in a white gauze dress and with a graceful figure, was supporting Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao looked much better than before.

His complexion was less pale, and he looked much more energetic.

Upon seeing Zhang Jiao, Jia Dong immediately dropped his smug expression and ran to Zhang Jiao in a few steps.

"Great and wise teacher." Jia Dong stepped forward and greeted him with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jiao looked at Jia Dong and said, "Oh, it's Xiao Dong. Sit down, please sit down."

Zhang Jiao pointed towards the pavilion, then looked at Zhang Ning beside him and said, "Go and serve tea to Xiao Dong."

"No trouble at all, Miss."

Jia Dong quickly reached out and took Zhang Jiao, helping him to sit down in the pavilion.

Since Zhang Jiao woke up last time, Zhang Ning has told Zhang Jiao everything that happened in Quliang City.

They recounted how Jia Dong rescued them from Quliang City and how he donated medicine.

Starting from Quliang, Jia Dong escorted Zhang Jiao all the way to Guangzong City.

This loyalty earned Zhang Jiao's utmost respect.

He thus obtained the position of divine messenger.

He became second only to the emperor in Guangzong City, holding a position of immense power.

“Great Teacher, I discovered something yesterday when I was patrolling the city walls,” Jia Dong said mysteriously in a low voice.

"Oh?" Zhang Jiao raised an eyebrow and said, "Little Dong is really diligent, even personally patrolling the city."

Jia Dong chuckled and said, "Of course, of course."

“Great wise teacher, yesterday I discovered that the Han army outside the city seems to have fallen into infighting. The army of Lu Zhi, the Left General of the Household, has absorbed the troops of Dong Zhuo, the Eastern General of the Household.”

what?

Zhang Jiao looked surprised.

“Great wise teacher, I think this is a good opportunity for us to break out.” Jia Dong rubbed his hands and said, “At this time, Lu Zhi’s army must still be in chaos. If we can take this opportunity to break out, we won’t be trapped in Guangzong City.”

Zhang Jiao's expression was solemn. After a moment's thought, he said, "Xiao Dong, you know that rebellion was not my intention. I just wanted the people to have food to eat."

"I just never expected things to turn out this way..."

"Hey......"

Zhang Jiao shook his head helplessly.

He originally thought he couldn't control the hearts of people far away.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't even control the people around him.

And he's his own younger brother.

Zhang Bao's rebellion plunged the Taiping Dao into utter ruin.

Now, even if it's not a rebellion, it has already become a rebellion.

The imperial court dispatched a large army to suppress the rebellion.

The followers of the Way of Peace were all labeled as traitors.

“The great and virtuous teacher serves the country and its people, but alas, the court is forcing him,” Jia Dong said serendipitously.

Zhang Jiao nodded and said, "Now that things have come to this, this is the only way."

"If we are repeatedly besieged in Guangzong City, these hundreds of thousands of believers will eventually be overrun by the imperial court due to lack of food."

"Xiao Dong, I don't ask for anything else, I just want to be able to lead everyone out of this world."

"Besides, my health is deteriorating day by day, so please take good care of things in the city," Zhang Jiao said.

Seeing that Zhang Jiao had agreed, Jia Dong immediately smiled and said, "Rest assured, Great Teacher, I will carry out your will to the end and lead everyone out of this predicament."

Zhang Jiao nodded and said, "I trust you to handle things."

“If it weren’t for you, my daughter and I, and these followers of the Way of Peace, would be in all the same boat now.”

"I am fine on my own, but it is these Taiping Dao believers and Ning'er who are suffering."

As Zhang Jiao spoke, he glanced at Zhang Ning beside him.

Zhang Ning shook her head and said, "Father, I am not suffering. As long as you are well, I don't care what happens to me."

"Good boy," Zhang Jiao praised.

Jia Dong nodded repeatedly, saying, "The eldest young lady's sincerity and filial piety are truly rare."

"The young lady has such a gentle personality and is so beautiful. She will definitely marry into a good family in the future."

Hearing Jia Dong's words, Zhang Ning lowered his head somewhat embarrassed and said, "Now the court regards us as rebels, so which family would be willing to marry us?"

"Oh, how could that be? How could there not be?"

Jia Dong chuckled and said, "My dear teacher, to be honest, I do have a good match to introduce to you, Miss."

"Oh?"

Zhang Jiao raised an eyebrow, showing a hint of interest.

Zhang Ning has now reached marriageable age.

Things were fine before because we had a fixed place to live, but now that he's been labeled a traitor, we can't keep letting our daughter follow him around all the time.

Just as my daughter said, if I am always labeled as a traitor, who would dare to marry me?

"Xiao Dong, the person you're talking about..." Zhang Jiao was somewhat intrigued.

“Father…” Zhang Ning immediately lowered her head shyly and said, “Daughter does not want to get married, daughter wants to serve Father.”

"Nonsense." Zhang Jiao said sternly, "Men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age. There is no reason for them not to marry. What are you doing staying with an old man like me?"

"What if Dad passes away one day? Doesn't he need someone to take care of you?"

"If I can see you get married before I die, it will be a wish fulfilled."

Zhang Ning lowered his head, his face flushed and burning, after being spoken to by Zhang Jiao.

"Xiao Dong, this family you're talking about..."

Jia Dong chuckled and said, "Great wise teacher, this person is a rare talent in the world. He is tall and strong, has superb martial arts skills, and is also very handsome."

Upon hearing Jia Dong's words, Hao Zhao, who was standing to the side, suddenly raised his head, his expression momentarily stunned.

An expression of overwhelming joy began to spread across Hao Zhao's face.

Hao Zhao then straightened his chest.

He was tall and strong, possessed superb martial arts skills, and was handsome.

The four people in this pavilion, aren't they referring to him?

"Cough cough."

Hao Zhao straightened his chest and coughed lightly, then smiled and raised his chin.

Hao Zhao, his profile bathed in sunlight, tried his best to appear reliable.

Hearing Hao Zhao cough, Jia Dong turned around and glanced at Hao Zhao, who was striking a flamboyant pose.

Then, puzzled, he asked, "What are you doing? Why are you turning your face to the sunlight?"

"You little brat, you don't think I'm talking about you, do you?"

Hao Zhao looked at Jia Dong with a puzzled expression.

Isn't he the one being talked about?

Seeing Hao Zhao's expression, Jia Dong immediately rolled his eyes: "What kind of status do you have, kid? What kind of status does the young lady have? You really dare to dream."

"Go away, go somewhere cool and stay there. This is none of your business."

"You dare to think of anything? I think you're crazy."

After saying that, Jia Dong turned to Zhang Jiao and chuckled, saying, "Great Teacher, don't misunderstand. I'm not talking about him. He's just a little kid who hasn't grown up yet."

"I'm talking about someone else."

"When the opportunity arises, I will introduce him to the Great Teacher of Virtue, and then let him meet the young lady."

Zhang Jiao nodded upon hearing this: "Alright, alright, we'll do as you say."

Both things have been said.

Jia Dong's mission was thus completed.

After saying goodbye, Jia Dong left the county government's mansion and headed straight for another mansion in the east of the city.

The residence of Jia Dong's divine messenger is located here.

When Jia Dong returned to the mansion, several people were already waiting for him in the main hall.

Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Zhang Xiu, and Liu Baitu sitting in the shadows in the corner.

At this time, all of Duan Yu's troops from Liangzhou had gathered in the hall.

As soon as Jia Dong came in, he spread his hands and said, "The initial plan has succeeded. Zhang Jiao has agreed to break through. As for how to plan next, I don't care."

Looking at Jia Xu, who had recently lost a lot of weight, with a tall crown on his head, he nodded with a cold smile: "This is enough."

"Next, it's time to cook a feast for Lu Zhi."
