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

Chapter 383 News Reached the Palace, Liu Hong Was Greatly Astonished! [3]

After pulling the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd from Wei Ban's back, the tip of the halberd trembled slightly, and a drop of blood fell.

There was complete silence all around.

Fu Wan's eyes widened, bigger than a bull's eyes.

killed!

killed!

Duan Yu actually killed Wei Ban right in front of so many people?

he......

Fu Wan mechanically turned his neck to look at Duan Yu.

this......

Is this guy so reckless?

Wei Ban was kicking Dong Zhuo while he was down, but... but how could Duan Yu dare to kill Wei Ban?

It wasn't just Fu Wan who was stunned.

Princess Liu Xiu of Yangdi, who was standing next to Liu Hua, was so frightened that she hid behind Liu Hua, grabbing his arm with both hands and only daring to peek out to look at Duan Yu not far away.

"Collect the body and take it back," Duan Yu said to the guard beside him.

Two guards stepped forward, each dragging the body of Wei Ban by one foot, and walked towards Fu Wan's mansion outside the gate.

The blood flowing from Wei Ban's chest left a crimson trail on the bluestone pavement.

Wei Ban is dead; the matter is now settled.

Duan Yu put away the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd, then turned and walked towards the gate of Fu Wan's mansion.

Seeing Duan Yu leave, the suppressed breathing around them finally eased.

"this....."

"this......"

Fu Wan pointed at Duan Yu's back, his lips turning pale as he looked at his wife, Liu Hua.

"What is this?" Liu Hua frowned and said, "I think Duan Yu's quick temper and willingness to settle scores make him a true man."

"Dong Zhuo had been kind to Duan Yu, and that's why Duan Yu repaid him in this way."

Fu Wan stared blankly at Liu Hua.

The expression on his face could no longer be described as shock.

This... this is still the wife he's shared a bed with for over a decade?

It's like she's become a completely different person.

Even Princess Liu Xiu of Yangdi, standing behind Liu Hua, looked quite surprised.

"Sister, if you ever find a husband, you must find a good man like Duan Yu, not someone like some others."

At this point, Liu Hua rolled his eyes at Fu Wan, who was standing to the side.

I cursed inwardly after finishing my sentence!

...........

The Imperial Palace, Changqiu Hall.

The bedroom of He Lingsi was shrouded in mist.

A huge bath tub was placed inside the bedroom.

A beautiful figure was blurred amidst the rising white mist.

The aroma of flowers and fruits filled the hall, and a gentle breath was refreshing and invigorating.

Meanwhile, He Lingsi was soaking her delicate body in the hot water that emitted the fragrance of flowers and fruits.

More than a dozen maids continued to add various precious spices and freshly picked flower petals to the bath.

He Lingsi, bathing in the wooden tub, rested her head on the edge of the tub.

Two palace maids stood behind her, gently massaging He Lingsi's shoulders.

Water droplets clung to her slightly closed, beautiful eyelashes, and her sensual lips were slightly upturned.

As night approached, He Lingsi received news that Duan Yu had returned to Luoyang.

From the moment she received Duan Yu's message, He Lingsi began to bathe and burn incense, and carefully selected all the autumn clothes that had just been made in the palace this year.

Just like a young woman preparing to welcome her groom, she made meticulous preparations.

Just as He Lingsi closed her eyes to rest and enjoy herself, a hurried sound suddenly came from outside the palace.

A slightly older maid, around twenty years old, walked with small, quick steps into the bedroom.

The palace maids passing by on both sides bowed to him.

After passing through two palace gates, the maid arrived at He Lingsi's bedroom. She glanced at the surrounding palace maids and waved her hand.

He Lingsi opened her eyes and glanced at the maid.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" He Lingsi asked softly.

"Your Majesty, it's news about General Wei."

Upon hearing the name General Wei, He Lingsi immediately became interested, raised her beautiful eyes, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

The maidservant lowered her head and said, "News just came from outside the palace that General Wei has killed Wei Ban, the Lieutenant-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard, at the residence of the Marquis of Buqi."

"what?"

He Lingsi's expression visibly stiffened: "What did you say?"

The maid repeated the message she had just received.

After Duan Yu entered Luoyang, He Lingsi had already ordered that they pay attention to Duan Yu's whereabouts.

"It is said that the lieutenant had tortured Dong Zhuo terribly in the death row, and then ordered Dong Zhuo to be imprisoned in his mansion."

"After General Wei learned of this news, he personally led his men into Wei Ban's residence and broke the legs of all of Wei Ban's relatives and friends."

He Lingsi frowned as she listened.

"Then how did it escalate to the Marquis of Buqi's residence?" He Lingsi frowned and said, "Isn't that the residence of Princess Yang'an?"

He Lingsi's personal maid nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"It is said that Wei Ban ran away after General Wei came to the door and went to the Marquis of Buqi's residence to seek help from the Commander of the Imperial Guard."

"After General Wei caught up with Wei Ban at the Marquis of Buqi's residence, he executed him in front of the Commander of the Imperial Guard and Princess Yang'an."

Trouble!

He Lingsi's expression changed slightly.

If it were just killing a guard, it wouldn't be a big deal.

At most, they'll just get a scolding.

However, Duan Yu actually broke into Princess Yang'an's residence.

She had also heard of Princess Yang'an, who was the eldest daughter of the late emperor and had been the emperor's favorite since childhood.

The late Emperor Liu Zhi had no sons, only three daughters.

When Princess Yang'an was married to the Fu family, it was said that Princess Yang'an was always arrogant and domineering in the Fu family.

Even Fu Wanping had to be mindful of Princess Yang'an's mood when making decisions.

Such arrogance cannot be tolerated.

"Then...where is Duan Yu now?" He Lingsi asked hurriedly.

The maid shook her head and said, "I don't know for now."

He Lingsi frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Here's what we'll do: go and inform His Majesty's people to keep a close watch."

"Try to find out as much as possible who His Majesty met and what he said."

The maidservant quickly bowed in response and then walked out of the palace.

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

Jiade Hall.

"what!"

Sitting on the dragon throne, drinking and enjoying the song and dance, with two concubines beside him, Liu Hong held a wine cup in one hand and stared wide-eyed.

"Say it again, Duan Yu killed Wei Ban?" Liu Hong asked incredulously.

Jian Shuo, standing in front of Liu Hong, nodded vigorously: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true."

"After entering the city and seeing Dong Zhuo, Duan Yu led his troops into Wei Ban's mansion, broke the legs of all of Wei Ban's relatives, and then chased them to the Marquis of Buqi's mansion and killed Wei Ban."

"Moreover, this was done in front of Fu Wan, the Commander of the Imperial Guards. Such audacity and disregard for the law is simply outrageous. They completely disregard the laws of the court."

"Your Majesty, if Duan Yu is allowed to act so arrogantly and domineeringly, he will surely become a scourge in the future!"

"Your Majesty, please issue an order to capture Duan Yu," Jian Shuo said, bowing.

Liu Hong was completely dumbfounded.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Liu Hong frowned and said, "Duan Yu and Wei Ban had no past grudges or recent feuds, so why would he kill Wei Ban?"

This feather was from the man who had just been recalled to Luoyang.

Moreover, they entered the city in the evening.

If it weren't for the fact that the palace gates were already closed and it was already dark, Liu Hong would definitely have summoned Duan Yu.

However, the palace gates were already closed, so Liu Hongcai planned to wait until tomorrow to summon Duan Yu.

How could Duan Yu have become enemies with Wei Ban in such a short time?

Jian Shuo shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

"Go and summon Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong," Liu Hong said with a frown. "Duan Yu isn't crazy. Why would he kill someone for no reason? Go and find Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong and get an explanation."

Although they were both Ten Attendants.

But when Jian Shuo heard the names Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, a look of disgust appeared on his face.

There were also factions among the Ten Attendants.

Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong wielded the most power among the Ten Attendants, and the other attendants generally feared their influence.

But Jian Shuo is different.

Jian Shuo controlled the palace, and his power was no less than that of Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.

In addition, due to their different styles of doing things, Jian Shuo has always looked down on Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.

But since Liu Hong had given the order, Jian Shuo dared not disobey, so he went to summon Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.

Before long, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong arrived at the Jiade Hall.
