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

Luoyang.

Yonghe Lane.

As one of the few habitable areas in Luoyang, Yongheli and Buguangli were almost entirely inhabited by high-ranking officials of the imperial court.

These two places are so valuable within Luoyang that it's no exaggeration to say that every inch of land there is worth its weight in gold.

Even so, there are also mansions with exceptionally broad vision in this area.

In Yongheli East, near the Zhongdong Gate, there is a huge mansion covering an area of ​​about ten acres.

A huge plaque hangs on the porch of the mansion, bearing the five gilded characters "Residence of the Imperial Physician".

The Imperial Physician was in charge of the illnesses of the royal family and officials. He was the highest-ranking imperial physician in the inner palace and belonged to the Imperial Household Department.

Although the position of Imperial Physician is not low, it is not very realistic for him to own a mansion covering more than ten acres in Luoyang, where land is extremely valuable.

However, the Imperial Physician of the current dynasty was not an ordinary Imperial Physician.

This position of Imperial Physician was held by Zhang Feng, the son of Zhang Rang, one of the Ten Attendants in the palace.

Therefore, although this mansion, which covers more than ten acres, is nominally Zhang Feng's, it actually represents Zhang Rang's power.

This place is bustling with activity year-round, with horse-drawn carriages lining up from dawn till dusk.

The number of people giving gifts is countless, like a swarm of locusts crossing a river.

At the four corners of the mansion stood towering watchtowers guarded by soldiers, each armed with a sword and a bow.

The towering walls separated the inside and outside of the mansion into two unrelated worlds.

The huge front garden already features artificial hills, pavilions, towers, and ponds.

The blooming flowers in the garden attracted countless colorful butterflies to flutter in the air.

Every three to five steps between the corridors and passageways, there is a beautiful young woman.

Even the beams supporting the corridor were covered with vermilion and gold lacquer, exuding luxury.

In the pond, schools of well-fed, plump carp sway their tails gently in the water.

In the center of the pond, there is also an artificial island.

It is connected by corridors on all four sides.

An octagonal stone pavilion stands on the small island.

The stone pavilion was covered with a light gauze curtain to keep out mosquitoes.

Four scantily clad maids stood around the pavilion.

Inside the pavilion.

He Lingman, dressed in a black gauze dress, lay on her side on a soft couch.

On the table in front of him was a jade wine pot, four plates of delicate pastries, and fruit.

Two maids kneeling beside the table were gently fanning themselves with palm-leaf fans to ward off the sweltering heat.

He Lingman, with her curvaceous figure, lay on her side as if she were asleep.

On the corridor leading to the pavilion, a maid in a white dress walked hurriedly toward the stone pavilion with her hands on her waist.

"lady."

Upon arriving at the stone pavilion, the maidservant bowed and called out to them.

Lying on her side, He Lingman slowly opened her eyes, lazily covered her red lips, yawned, and said, "This weather is so hot it's making me feel a bit irritable."

"Speak, what is it?"

The maid glanced at the maids holding palm-leaf fans on either side, and He Lingman immediately understood. Then she waved her hand and said, "You may all leave now."

The maids rose, bowed, and slowly retreated to a distance.

After two weeks, when all the maids around had gone far away, the maid knelt on the ground with a happy expression and said, "Madam, I have just heard some news."

"They say General Wei is going back to Luoyang."

Ok?

One second He Lingman was still yawning and half-asleep, the next she sat up straight and looked at the maid in surprise, asking:

"Where did you get this information from?"

Is it really true?

He Lingman was somewhat incredulous.

Duan Yu is currently leading troops to suppress a rebellion in the field, so why would he return to Luoyang?

The maid nodded repeatedly and said, "It's true, it was said by Her Majesty the Empress's maid."

"Today, Her Majesty's maidservant went out of the palace to the General's residence and happened to meet the maidservant at the market. She said that His Majesty had issued an edict several days ago, ordering General Wei to come to Luoyang from Taiyuan County. It is absolutely true."

"Judging by the days, General Wei should be arriving around this time."

He Lingman's beautiful eyes immediately lit up with uncontrollable joy.

Then he said leisurely, "Hmph, he knew he was coming back but didn't tell me. He must be trying to hog everything."

"but....."

He Lingman smiled.

As the saying goes, "being near the water tower, one gets the moon first," and being outside the palace is definitely much more convenient for her than being inside.

"Immediately find two clever men to guard Pingcheng Gate. As soon as they see General Wei return, they must immediately inform me."

"Oh, right, take out all the Shu brocade sent from Sichuan and have it made into new clothes. Remember, it has to be beautiful."

At this point, He Lingman could no longer sit still.

After getting up from the pavilion, I headed towards the back courtyard.

Several months have passed since Duan Yu last left Luoyang.

He Lingman walked gracefully down the corridor, a blush unconsciously rising to her cheeks.

Just thinking about the last time they parted made He Lingman feel weak in the knees.

His expression grew increasingly expectant.

She had already heard about the battle in Yingchuan.

Upon hearing that Zhang Rang's ancestral home in Yingchuan had been completely looted, she knew that Duan Yu must have succeeded.

"If he doesn't properly thank them this time, they won't let him off the hook."

He Lingman's face was flushed, her lips were white, and she gently bit her red lips. Her beautiful eyes were filled with intense anticipation.

As He Lingman walked towards the inner courtyard, lost in her memories of the madness in her mind, she was completely unaware that a man in his twenties, dressed in court attire, was walking towards her.

He Lingman only came to her senses when the two were about to collide and the maid behind her called out.

"master."

"master."

The maids following He Lingman all looked at the man in front of them and bowed.

He Lingman looked up at the man in front of her.

He was of medium build, with a fair complexion, slightly upturned eyes, and somewhat thin lips.

In this mansion, the only person who can be addressed as "Master" is He Lingman's husband.

Zhang Feng, son of Zhang Rang, one of the Ten Attendants of the Imperial Court.

Zhang Feng glanced at He Lingman and then smiled, saying, "Madam."

He Lingman composed herself and replied indifferently.

"What makes you so happy, Madam?"

Zhang Feng, unaware of anything amiss, asked.

Although Zhang Feng wore a smile, He Lingman didn't give him a smile at all.

The He family has two daughters.

One is He Lingsi, and the other is He Lingman.

He Lingsi entered the palace with the help of Zhang Rang, which allowed her to get close to Liu Hong and rise from a palace maid to the position of empress.

During this period, He Lingman's marriage to Zhang Feng was entirely a political alliance.

To thank Zhang Rang, He Jin arranged for He Lingman to marry Zhang Rang's son, Zhang Feng.

At first, He Lingman didn't think anything of it, since her marriage was not something she could decide for herself anyway.

But later.

Everything changed when He Lingman discovered that Zhang Rang's son, Zhang Feng, was a "useless person".

It's impossible for her to get a divorce.

Because Zhang Feng was Zhang Rang's son.

Even if she wanted to seek solace in Luoyang, it would be impossible.

Because everyone knows she is Zhang Rang's daughter-in-law, no one dares to do anything about it.

That is, Duan Yu.

I was new here and knew nothing.

That's how the later events happened.

Since meeting Duan Yu, she has grown increasingly disgusted with Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng cannot be a normal man.

He appears humble and gentle, and only a few people know that he cannot do what men do.

But behind the scenes.

Only He Lingman knew about Zhang Feng's actions.

Every few days, a young and beautiful maid disappears from this mansion.

Where did all these maids go? If He Lingman hadn't deliberately investigated, even she wouldn't have known that Zhang Feng had such a perverted side.

Therefore, seeing the smile on Zhang Feng's face at this moment, He Lingman felt somewhat disgusted.

Without answering Zhang Feng's question, He Lingman stepped aside, snatched Zhang Feng away, and headed towards the back of the house.

Zhang Feng's face showed no sign of displeasure, except for a barely perceptible, sinister smile as the two brushed past each other.

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

evening.

South of Luoyang City.

Outside Pingcheng Gate.

A fiery red dragon steed, kicking up dust, carried Duan Yu, who was dressed in black armor, straight towards Pingcheng Gate.

Dozens of fast horses followed closely behind Duan Yu.

Two of them were holding banners.

The front has the three large characters "General Wei".

The reverse side features the character "段" (duan), which depicts a dragon soaring and a tiger leaping.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

"Make way for General Wei!"

"Get out of the way!"

The city gate captain, with his excellent eyesight, spotted Duan Yu's mount and the banners behind him from a great distance.

Duan Yu's Crimson Dragon Cloud-Treading Beast is absolutely unique in the Han Dynasty, with an extremely high rate of recognition.

With the addition of banners, Duan Yu's identity could be recognized at a glance.

Upon seeing Duan Yu, the city gate captain immediately drove the people inside the city gate and on the drawbridge of the moat to the sides to make way for Duan Yu.

When the people near Pingcheng Gate heard the name General Wei, they all looked toward Duan Yu, the legendary tiger general of the Han Dynasty.
