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

Led by Duan Yu, dozens of warhorses crossed the drawbridge over the moat in front of Pingcheng Gate.

The thunderous sound of horses' hooves echoed around Pingcheng Gate like war drums.

One by one, the figures who seemed to have been waiting there ran quickly to spread the word in all directions of the city after seeing Duan Yu.

In an instant, messengers poured into the residences of the Minister of Works, the Minister of Education, the Grand Commandant, the General, the Imperial Palace, the residences of the Nine Ministers, and the residences of some high-ranking officials.

After entering the city, Duan Yu barely stopped and galloped straight towards Bu Guangli.

On the saddle of the Crimson Dragon Cloud-Treading Beast, there were two square wooden boxes hanging.

...........

Bu Guang Li, Dong Zhuo's residence.

After being escorted back from Ji Province, Dong Zhuo was imprisoned in the death row in Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo was convicted of a crime punishable by a reduction of one degree from the death penalty.

This is what is known as life imprisonment.

However, after Duan Yu returned the heads of Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang from Ji Province, Dong Zhuo was instead given a suspended sentence.

He was subsequently released from the death row in Luoyang.

However, Dong Zhuo, who was under investigation, was not pardoned and allowed to leave Luoyang to return to his post in Hedong. Instead, he was placed under house arrest in his residence in Bu Guangli.

At this time, there were still four guards protecting the city in front of Dong Zhuo's mansion in Bu Guangli.

The gates of the mansion were tightly closed, and the fallen leaves, sand, and dust in front of the gates indicated that no one had cleaned them for a long time.

The once bright and shiny lintel is now covered in dust.

Although it was dark at this time, there was only a few places with light in the mansion.

In the front courtyard of the mansion, Dong Zhuo, dressed in dusty, tattered clothes stained with blood, held a candlestick in one hand and a wooden bucket in the other.

The wooden bucket was half full of water.

His once robust physique has now shrunk considerably.

Moreover, when walking, he only dared to lightly touch the ground with his left foot, and he limped.

The platform in his hand emitted a faint yellow light, and Dong Zhuo, carrying a wooden bucket in his other hand, walked towards the backyard.

His beard almost completely obscured his face.

After walking for a long time, the staggering figure finally arrived at the kitchen door in the backyard.

The kitchen door was open, and a fishy, ​​sour smell wafted out.

Dong Zhuo, carrying a wooden bucket, placed the candlestick on the stove, and then poured the water bucket he was carrying in his other hand into the urn in the stove.

He then squatted down to light the firewood under the eaves and sat down beside it.

At this moment, Dong Zhuo looked like an old man in his twilight years, with his hair turning quite gray.

Where is there any trace of the heroic general who once roamed Liangzhou and galloped across the battlefield?

He was completely devoid of the imposing presence he had when he was the governor of Hedong.

The firelight illuminated his weathered and wrinkled old face, revealing none of his former radiance.

If it weren't for the flickering flames reflected in those eyes, they would look more like a rotten wooden carving.

Sitting beside the fire, Dong Zhuo gently massaged his left leg.

A pained expression appeared on his face.

The water in the urn began to bubble vigorously.

Illuminated by the firelight, Dong Zhuo slowly stood up, scooped out a spoonful of something sticky and rotten that smelled of sourness from a nearby earthenware jar, and placed it back into the jar.

As the water in the urn boiled and steamed, the sour and rotten smell became even more pungent.

But Dong Zhuo paid no attention. He scooped a spoonful into the earthenware bowl with a wooden spoon, blew on the steam, and slurped it into his mouth.

Rumble!

Rumble!

The sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from in front of the mansion gate and reached Dong Zhuo's ears.

Upon hearing the familiar sound of horses' hooves, Dong Zhuo subconsciously looked up and glanced at the gate of the mansion.

A glimmer of expectation flashed in those murky eyes.

However, this glimmer of hope quickly turned into helplessness.

Dong Zhuo, with his head down, continued to slurp the food in his bowl.

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

In front of the house.

After Duan Yu, riding the Crimson Dragon Cloud-Treading Beast, arrived at the gate of the mansion, he dismounted.

When Duan Yu saw the tightly closed gates, the mess around him, and the soldiers standing in front of the gate, he frowned deeply.

Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu, who were following behind Duan Yu, along with dozens of guards, dismounted and took the reins of the Crimson Dragon Cloud-Treading Beast from Duan Yu.

Holding a riding whip in one hand, Duan Yu frowned as he walked towards the gate of the mansion.

However, before Duan Yu could even step onto the stairs, four soldiers blocking the gate used their spears to obstruct his path.

"Halt! No one is allowed to come near here."

The four soldiers said in unison.

Duan Yu frowned and looked at the soldiers blocking his way.

"presumptuous!"

Wang Hunu stepped forward with one hand on the hilt of his sword and said, "General Wei, the Governor of Liang Province is here, make way!"

Upon hearing the words "General Wei" and "Governor of Liangzhou," the soldiers were visibly taken aback.

But he quickly regained his composure and said, "This place is crowded with important criminals of the imperial court. Without the presence of the Court of Justice, the Imperial Guard, or an imperial edict, no one is allowed to enter."

Duan Yu was too lazy to waste words.

With a flick of his whip, he snapped all four spears that were stuck in his way in the air.

The four soldiers were clearly startled.

Before they could even speak, a series of gleaming longswords were drawn and placed against their necks.

Duan Yu's personal guards didn't care who these soldiers were or which department they belonged to.

They only recognize Duan Yu.

Duan Yu ignored the sounds behind him and stepped onto the stairs in his combat boots.

Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu followed, each holding a torch.

Dressed in black armor with a blood-red cloak behind him, Duan Yu reached out and pushed open a door with one hand.

creak~

The gates of the mansion, which had not been opened for a long time, emitted a tooth-grinding sound before slowly opening.

Duan Yu was stunned for a moment when he saw the mansion, which was completely dark and silent.

Didn't they say his father-in-law is currently under house arrest in his mansion?

Why is there not a single person in this huge mansion?

Is the person not here?

But......

Those soldiers just said that important criminals of the imperial court are being held here.

Thinking it over, Duan Yu stepped over the threshold and walked into the mansion.

Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, and dozens of guards behind him quickly followed Duan Yu's footsteps.

As Duan Yu moved forward and passed through the front yard, he saw the firelight in the distance.

Following the direction of the firelight, Duan Yu's steps quickened.

The moment Duan Yu arrived at the source of the fire and saw the figure sitting beside the fire.

A surge of anger, mixed with scalding tears, erupted.

From time travel to the present day.

Duan Yu did not shed a single tear.

However, when he saw the figure sitting by the fire, whose identity he had to carefully discern to recognize, he was struck by the sight.

Tears streamed uncontrollably from Duan Yu's eyes.

Pfft!

The heavy armor fell to the ground.

It splashed dust on the ground.

"Father, I'm sorry you've suffered. I'm an unfilial son, I'm too late."

With Duan Yu kneeling down.

Behind him, Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, and dozens of guards all knelt down on the ground.

Sitting by the fire, Dong Zhuo, his eyes clouded, couldn't help but shed tears when he saw Duan Yu clearly.

The ceramic bowl in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

The fishy, ​​sour smell wafted out.

Dong Zhuo, limping, stood up and came to Duan Yu, reaching out to help him up: "Yu'er, what are you saying? Get up quickly. It's just being locked up here for a while, it's no big deal."

Duan Yu smelled the fishy, ​​sour odor emanating from the room, saw the liquid-like substance scattered on the ground, and noticed Dong Zhuo's limping legs.

"Tie Shitou, kill those people outside! Kill them!" Duan Yu roared.

This roar seemed to echo throughout the entire city of Luoyang!
