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

The air inside the carriage seemed to freeze.

Zhang Jiao looked at Jia Dong, who didn't know where to look at him.

Zhang Jiao's sudden confrontation caught Jia Dong off guard.

Jia Dong felt that he had been careful enough in everything he did.

But......

Just as Zhang Jiao said, with so many people around, he could guarantee that he would do everything perfectly.

But others can't.

To ensure that Zhang Jiao was always under his control, the so-called Yellow Turban warriors around him were all dressed as elite Liangzhou soldiers.

With over a thousand people and so many days of contact, it's inevitable that some people might be overlooked.

Also, Zhang Jiao's words just now reminded him.

What kind of dream involves an old immortal, and what kind of immortal gives guidance?

These are things that Zhang Jiao started playing with more than a decade ago.

Zhang Jiao had been spreading the Way of Peace for over a decade, so he naturally knew these things better than anyone else.

If there were truly immortals in this world, then Qin Shi Huang would have already achieved immortality.

perhaps.......

Perhaps Zhang Jiao had already discovered these problems, but... he just chose to confront them now.

“I know there are many things you can’t decide,” Zhang Jiao said, looking at the silent Jia Dong. “My condition is simple: let Ning’er leave safely, and I can listen to you from now on.”

With Zhang Jiao's words already stated, Jia Dong knew that there was no point in continuing to conceal the truth.

After all, the truth will have to come out sooner or later.

So Jia Dong, who was sitting opposite Zhang Jiao, nodded.

"I really can't make that decision, but..."

Jia Dong hesitated for a moment and said, "My master is not far from here. I will go and inform my master right away. If the Great Teacher has anything to say, he can talk to my master."

"Okay." Zhang Jiao readily nodded in agreement.

With Zhang Jiao nodding in agreement, Jia Dong did not delay any longer.

At this time, Duan Yu's army was positioned not far behind the Yellow Turban army.

After Zhang Jiao's carriage left, Jia Dong found Liu Baitu to deliver a message to Duan Yu.

.............

sunset.

The afterglow of the sunset transformed into a sky full of red clouds, reflecting on the horizon.

After a day's march, the Yellow Turban Army set up camp on the spot.

Zhang Jiao, who had been sitting in the carriage all day, got off and enjoyed the rare tranquility and the evening glow.

Under the protection of a group of Yellow Turban warriors.

Zhang Jiao sat by a stream that flowed from the distant mountains and forests.

The stream water was clear and cool.

Having spent the day in the carriage, Zhang Ning took off her shoes and socks, revealing her bare, snow-white feet as she stepped into the stream.

Every now and then, groups of brightly colored little fish would dart past Zhang Ning's feet.

Holding up the hem of her white dress with both hands, Zhang Ning turned to look at Zhang Jiao sitting on a blue stone by the stream, a smile that hadn't appeared on her face for a long time.

Zhang Jiao, sitting on the bluestone, responded with a smile.

Not far away, a cavalry unit of several dozen men approached Zhang Jiao's direction with the thunderous sound of their hooves.

Upon hearing the rapid sound of horses' hooves, Zhang Jiao and his daughter Zhang Ning looked into the distance.

Bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, a magnificent crimson warhorse, seemingly coated with a layer of pale gold, galloped towards them.

The knight on horseback was tall and wore a black robe.

The collar and cuffs are decorated with auspicious clouds and mythical beasts embroidered in gold thread.

Behind him were dozens of magnificent warhorses.

Two generals stood guard on his left and right sides like gatekeepers.

Although the group of dozens of people were all dressed in ordinary clothes.

But the undisguised menacing aura emanating from him seemed to be telling everyone around him not to approach easily, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

When Zhang Ning, standing in the stream, saw the fiery red warhorse and Duan Yu on it, a look of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Then dozens of warhorses stopped by the stream.

Duan Yu dismounted.

Gao Shun and Qu Yi, along with dozens of riders behind them, all dismounted at the same time.

Gao Shun took the reins of the Crimson Dragon Cloud-Treading Beast from Duan Yu's hands.

Qu Yi, with one hand on the hilt of his sword, followed Duan Yu's footsteps.

When Zhang Ning watched as the unfamiliar and tall Duan Yu, who she could barely look up at, walked toward her father, her expression immediately became extremely tense.

Duan Yu's tall stature exuded a sense of oppression that made Zhang Ning extremely uneasy.

Even disregarding that he wasn't wearing shoes, he ran towards Zhang Jiao's direction, stepping on the pebbles in the stream.

The white skirt she was holding was immediately soaked by the stream and then clung tightly to Guanghua's calves.

"Ning'er, don't be nervous, this is your father's guest," Zhang Jiao said to Zhang Ning.

Zhang Ning, who was running, suddenly stopped.

guest?

Zhang Ning was slightly taken aback.

But she had never met Duan Yu.

At this moment, Jia Dong also stepped out from the group behind Duan Yu.

Then, smiling at Zhang Ning in the river, he said, "Young Miss, don't be nervous. My lord will not harm the Great Teacher of Virtue."

My lord?

The unfamiliar address that appeared again almost stunned Zhang Ning.

Who is this man?

Why did her father call him a guest?

But Jia Dong addressed him as Lord Junhou?

Duan Yu looked at Zhang Ning in the stream, then smiled and nodded politely.

He then strode towards Zhang Jiao.

When they were about two meters apart, Duan Yu stopped.

This was the first time he had ever met Zhang Jiao.

It looks much more ordinary than those in the alley.

Perhaps due to being poisoned and not receiving treatment for a long time, Zhang Jiao's body was extremely thin.

According to historical records, Zhang Jiao should only have one or two months left to live at this time.

"I am Duan Yu from Liangzhou. I have come to pay my respects to the Great Teacher."

Duan Yu raised his hand and bowed to Zhang Jiao.

Although there may be some preparations.

But when he heard the name Duan Yu, Zhang Jiao's expression was still one of surprise.

Their gazes involuntarily turned to Jia Dong.

"Great wise and virtuous teacher, this is my lord, former general, governor of Liangzhou, and marquis of Duxiang," Jia Dong introduced.

Former General!

Governor of Liangzhou!

Marquis of Duxiang!

Zhang Jiao's eyes were filled with surprise at Duan Yu's high position and title despite his young age.

After getting acquainted, Duan Yu waved his hand and said, "You guys go ahead."

Qu Yi glanced around, and after confirming that there were no hidden soldiers, he turned and retreated.

Dozens of guards immediately spread out in a circle, surrounding the area and keeping a certain distance from Duan Yu.

Jia Dong walked up to Zhang Ning and said, "Miss, the Marquis and the Great Teacher have something to say. Please excuse us for a moment."

Zhang Ning was completely shocked by what she was seeing.

He looked at Jia Dong with a puzzled and panicked expression.

Jia Dong sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Miss. I've been hiding my identity. I'm not actually a follower of the Way of Peace."

"My true identity is that of a former general and the Minister of Commerce under the Governor of Liang Province."

"I am under the command of the former general, the governor of Liang Province."

"Everything I have done before was granted by you, my lord."

"Including rescuing the young lady in Quliang City, rescuing the Great Teacher, and everything that happened afterward."

"Of course, Miss believes that the Lord has absolutely no intention of harming the Great Teacher of Virtue."

"Everything you have done, my lord, is to protect the Great Teacher of Virtue and the believers of the Way of Peace. Please believe me, young lady."

Zhang Ning is not stupid.

Although what Jia Dong said was hard for her to accept at first.

However, if Duan Yu, as Jia Dong said, really intended to harm her father, there would be no need to wait until now and use this method to demonstrate it.

Jia Dong stood still and gestured for Zhang Ning to enter.

Zhang Ning turned his gaze to his father, Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao, sitting on a bluestone not far away, smiled and nodded.

Zhang Ning then walked ashore from the stream and headed away in the direction Jia Dong was leading.

Suddenly, only the two of them remained where Duan Yu and Zhang Jiao had been.

"General Duan, I am a dying man, I'm sure you wouldn't want to take my life for anything."

Zhang Jiao looked at Duan Yu and said, "However, if General Duan needs it, I, Zhang Jiao, can lend you my head, after all..."

At this point, Zhang Jiao gave a bitter smile and said, "I am now the biggest rebel in the world. Holding my head can still bring a lot of benefits."

"I suppose Jia Dong has already spoken to General Duan. I have no other request but that General Duan spare the lives of these innocent Taiping Dao believers."

"To ensure my daughter's safe departure."

"As for what General Duan wants to do, I will cooperate with him in full."

Duan Yu did not rush to answer Zhang Jiao.

“Great Teacher, before we begin, I would like to tell you a story.”

Zhang Jiao nodded and said, "I am all ears."
