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

Outside the courtyard.

As soon as Duan Yu entered the room, he saw Dong Yi holding Diao Chan's hand.

"It's indeed her."

Duan Yu twitched the corner of his mouth.

What brings this woman here so abruptly?

He had already seen the carriages parked outside the courtyard, and the things they were carrying.

Moreover, the servants had already begun unloading it at this point.

Could this woman be trying to win me over?

When they parted ways in the city a couple of days ago, Dong Yi had already expressed some of her wishes.

"Brother Duan!"

"Husband."

Dong Yi, who was standing in the courtyard, waved.

Diao Chan, who was standing nearby, also called out softly.

"Brother Duan."

"Duan Youjiao."

"Brother Duan."

The young people Duan Yu had gathered in the courtyard, along with some craftsmen and villagers who had come to help, all greeted Duan Yu.

"Since Duan You has brought guests, we will take our leave now."

"Yes, let's not bother Duan Youjiao any longer. We'll come back to help later."

"I'm leaving now, Brother Duan. We'll come back this afternoon."

The people in the courtyard all bid farewell to Duan Yu.

Duan Yu nodded and thanked them one by one.

After everyone had left, Duan Yu headed towards Dong Yi and Diao Chan.

But before the two women could reach Duan Yu, they were already standing in front of him.

Two black figures let out a howl and pounced on Duan Yu.

Dong Yi, who was about to walk towards Duan Yu, stopped in her tracks and stared wide-eyed at the two black, furry little tigers.

Whether in this era or in future generations.

Women are almost all the same; they have little resistance to hairy things.

The two tiger cubs pounced at Duan Yu's feet and began to cling to his legs, acting cute and biting him.

"Wow... what are these?" Dong Yi's eyes sparkled as she looked at the two little tigers.

Diao Chan smiled and said, "These are two little tigers that my husband adopted."

“My husband went hunting in the mountains and shot their mother. He couldn’t bear to see the two tiger cubs starve to death in the mountains, so he brought them back to raise them.”

Diao Chan explained it to Dong Yi.

Dong Yi then remembered the tiger skin that Duan Yu had sent to Jinyang City a few days ago.

Duan Yu had one arm around a small tiger.

There's also Dong Yi on the way to Diao Chan.

Duan Yu struggled incessantly in the crook of his arm, letting out childish howls.

Speaking of the two tiger cubs, Duan Yu felt a little strange.

It's possible that the black tiger itself is a mutated species.

The growth rate of these two little guys is astonishing.

In just a few days, he has already grown a lot bigger.

If it continues to grow at this rate, it may become much larger than an average tiger when it reaches adulthood.

When Duan Yu arrived in front of Diao Chan and Dong Yi, he placed Da Hei and Xiao Hei on the ground.

"Go play." Duan Yu kicked each of the two little guys in the bottom.

Then the two little ones ran off to play, yelling and biting each other.

Duan Yu did not greet Dong Yi immediately.

Instead, he stepped forward first, untied Diao Chan's apron, and then said gently, "Didn't I tell you already?"

"Don't do the rough and tiring work anymore, let Shi Tou and the others do it."

"My health has deteriorated due to the burden of family responsibilities over the years, and I need to take good care of myself."

"Didn't the doctor already say that you need to rest well so that you can have children for me?"

Duan Yu's actions and words made Diao Chan blush with embarrassment.

"My lord, Miss Dong is still here..."

Dong Yi smiled to the side, a hint of envy flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Duan Yu turned to Dong Yi and smiled, "Miss Dong isn't an outsider. I just heard her say that you two are going to be sisters."

“That’s right.” Dong Yi took Diao Chan’s other arm at the opportune moment and said, “From now on, we are sisters. Diao Chan is the older sister, and I am the younger sister.”

Duan Yu didn't reply, he just smiled.

Diao Chan glanced at Duan Yu and then said, "Husband, you and Miss Dong talk first. I'll go check on how the lunch preparations are going."

"The food at home is simple, but if Sister Dong Yi doesn't mind, please stay and eat here."

Dong Yi smiled and nodded, her beautiful eyes narrowed: "Thank you, Sister Diao Chan."

Diao Chan turned and left.

Only Duan Yu and Dong Yi remained in the courtyard.

In the distance, Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, and the others seemed to be busy with their own things, but all their eyes were fixed on Duan Yu's direction.

After Duan Yu noticed their glances, they immediately looked away.

Duan Yu gestured towards the carriages outside the courtyard and the servants who were unloading gifts from the carriages.

"Miss Dong, what is this...?" Duan Yu asked Dong Yi, "Could it be that you've come to give me betrothal gifts?"

As soon as Duan Yu spoke, Dong Yi, who was standing next to him, was immediately amused.

"If that's what Young Master Duan thinks, then it's not impossible, but I just don't know if this is enough."

As soon as Dong Yi opened his mouth, Duan Yu knew he wouldn't gain any advantage.

It's nothing more than idle chatter.

"You jest," Duan Yu said with a smile. "Seriously, what brings Miss Dong here today?"

Dong Yi straightened his expression.

Then he took a deep breath and said, "When Father came back last time, I told him about what you said to me."

"My father was moved by this."

"But I know that my father probably can't really let go of it in a short time."

"So, I've decided."

"Instead of staying by my father's side and not being of any help, it would be better for me to go back to my hometown and protect the family business there."

"If what Brother Duan said is true, there will indeed be a huge change in the court in the future."

“At that time, my father wouldn’t have been homeless.”

"Also, things haven't been peaceful at home lately, so I'd like to go back."

Dong Yi paused at this point.

Duan Yu had a pretty good idea of ​​what Dong Yi wanted to say.

“But…” Dong Yi hesitated for a moment before saying, “But I am a woman, and I am not the same as a man.”

"Moreover, without any help around him, he may not be able to protect his family business."

"so......"

Dong Yi looked at Duan Yu with a serious expression.

She had been thinking about this for several days.

The more he thought about it, the more he realized that Duan Yu's words made sense.

The foundation is everything.

Their family originated and was rooted in the border region. If they lost their foundation, they would have no way out in the future.

So, she decided.

Since Father refuses to go back.

Then she has to go back.

To safeguard the family's legacy for my father and for this family.

"So you've decided to invite me to go to your hometown with you?" Duan Yu said exactly what Dong Yi wanted to say.

Dong Yi nodded without denying it, saying, "Brother Duan knows my feelings."

“I originally wanted to win Brother Duan over to serve my father,” Dong Yi said softly, “but… but I don’t think Brother Duan might be willing.”

"If Brother Duan had been willing, he might have already stayed in Jinyang that day."

"Therefore, I do not intend to recommend Brother Duan to my father."

"I want Brother Duan to come back to my hometown with me and help me preserve my family business."

Dong Yi sincerely invited, "Brother Duan, don't worry. I will take care of all your worries there, and your life will definitely be better than here."

"Moreover, I will support whatever Brother Duan wants to do."

“I don’t need Brother Duan to acknowledge me as his master. If possible, we can also have a cooperative relationship.”

"Brother Duan is very skilled, so I'm sure he wouldn't be content with mediocrity."

As she spoke, Dong Yi glanced at the pile of bows and arrows that Duan Yu had ruined.

“Brother Duan, I’ve heard my father say this,” Dong Yi said, looking at the pile of broken bows and arrows: “Only those with great aspirations and ambitions in their hearts have strong perseverance.”

"Brother Duan practices archery every day, and his archery skills are superb. If it were used for hunting, it would be more than enough."

"But Brother Duan still practices every day without stopping."

"Could it be that Brother Duan's wish is to stay in these mountains and hunt forever?"

Duan Yu looked at Dong Yi, his heart churning.

It has to be said that Dong Yi is a very extraordinary woman.

She possesses a boldness, vision, and decisiveness that are uncommon among women.

More importantly, they are intelligent.

If he were only concerned with making a living, would he need to work so hard?

Obviously not.

This world is a dog-eat-dog world.

There are always some troubles that will come knocking on your door even if you don't actively provoke them.

Not to mention being in the midst of a time of tremendous change.

A year later, the Taiping Rebellion broke out, and the whole country was in chaos.

When the emperor died, the feudal lords were in turmoil.

No part of this land will be spared.

I want to live.

If you want to live a life free from being exploited and to fulfill your desires, then you must strive to be superior to others.

But where is his chance?

If you were to transmigrate and become a member of the royal family or a member of a powerful clan, that would be fine.

But he is not.

He was just an unregistered resident.

How could someone from a small mountain village become a powerful local ruler if they followed the normal procedures?

Let alone one year, even if you gave him another ten years, it wouldn't make a difference.

Talent, population, territory, money, food, resources, identity, status.

These are all indispensable.

Or they could become subordinates of those feudal lords.

Should he surrender to Cao Cao?

Or should we join Liu Bei?

Or perhaps he should seek refuge with Sun Jian?

But even the Yellow Turban Rebellion hasn't started yet.

Those feudal lords who later became powerful are still struggling in the imperial court and their hometowns.

Besides, being someone's subordinate is the worst possible choice.

If given a choice, and if capable, would someone be willing to be someone else's lackey?

Duan Yu had to admit that he was somewhat persuaded by Dong Yi.
