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

That night.

On the second day after the lockdown was lifted, Luoyang was still filled with singing and dancing.

In front of the Taipu Mansion.

A carriage slowly drove up to the gate of the Imperial Stud and then stopped.

The attendant who was driving the carriage lifted the curtain and then placed a small stool under the carriage.

Zhang Feng, dressed in a black robe, stepped off the carriage on a small stool. His attendant took out a wooden box from inside the carriage and slowly followed Zhang Feng toward Yuan Ji's residence.

The gatekeeper and steward were already waiting for Zhang Feng at the mansion gate.

"Lord Zhang, my master is waiting for you in the inner room," the middle-aged gatekeeper said, bowing.

Zhang Feng smiled kindly and nodded, then followed the gatekeeper and steward into the inner chambers of the mansion.

Before long, after passing through the front garden, Zhang Feng arrived at the inner room of the front yard.

At the door to the inner room, Zhang Feng took the medicine box from his attendant and went inside.

After entering the inner room, Zhang Feng looked around.

When Zhang Feng saw that the room was empty except for the lit candles, he was slightly taken aback.

He then sniffed, his expression slightly thoughtful.

"Brother Zhang."

A soft call echoed inside the room.

Zhang Feng looked in the direction of the sound, then turned around a screen.

Behind the screen, sitting behind a table, Yuan Ji, dressed in a white robe, was brewing tea with a gentle smile on his face.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Feng frowned slightly: "Lord Yuan..."

Before Zhang Feng could finish speaking, Yuan Ji smiled and gestured for him to enter, saying:

"Brother Zhang, please don't misunderstand. I did invite you here to see a doctor, but my illness is not physical, but rather a mental one."

Ok?

Zhang Feng looked at Yuan Ji with a puzzled expression and said, "Lord Yuan, I only know medicine and not psychology. If Lord Yuan's illness is just a psychological one, then please find someone more skilled."

As he spoke, Zhang Feng turned to leave.

Throughout Luoyang, and indeed throughout the entire country, it was known that the gentry and the eunuchs were irreconcilable enemies.

The Yuan family was the most prominent of all the aristocratic families in the land, and Zhang Feng's father was the head of the Ten Attendants.

How can two people like that sit down and have a heart-to-heart talk?

However, just as Zhang Feng turned around...

Sitting behind the desk, Yuan Ji chuckled and shook his head: "Brother Zhang, you're in such a hurry, don't you wait for me to finish speaking? But..."

"If Brother Zhang leaves, there will probably be a matter that will linger in his heart forever and will never be resolved."

Zhang Feng paused, turned around to look at Yuan Ji behind him.

“Brother Zhang, actually, my concern stems from an issue at your residence. This matter has been troubling me for a long time, and I have been considering whether or not to tell you about it.”

"If Brother Zhang doesn't want to know, then forget it."

As Yuan Ji spoke, he picked up a wooden spoon and filled a black jade teacup placed opposite him with tea.

Standing in front of the door, Zhang Feng slowly turned around, then came to Yuan Ji, put down the medicine box in his hand, and knelt down in front of Yuan Ji.

Seeing Zhang Feng sit down, Yuan Ji smiled and gestured for him to have some tea.

Zhang Feng did not pick up the teacup in front of him but went straight to the point: "Lord Yuan, please speak. I have limited time."

Yuan Ji, on the other hand, calmly picked up the teacup in front of him.

Now that Zhang Feng was already sitting there, he wasn't worried that Zhang Feng wouldn't be interested in what he was about to say.

"To be honest, Brother Zhang."

After taking a sip of tea, Yuan Ji said, "I have been struggling with this matter for a long time, but I still can't make a decision."

"But Brother Zhang's character makes me feel that if I don't speak out about this, I will feel very guilty, very guilty."

"So, after much thought, I decided to inform Brother Zhang."

"However, I also hope that Brother Zhang will remain calm after learning about this, because if Brother Zhang does not remain calm, this matter could very well cost him his life!"

"In that case, I feel even more guilty."

As Yuan Ji spoke, Zhang Feng's face gradually revealed a puzzled and solemn expression under the candlelight.

Seeing Zhang Feng's behavior, Yuan Ji was certain that Zhang Feng had been led by his rhythm.

Although Zhang Feng still did not speak at this time.

"Brother Zhang, I don't know... I don't know if you've noticed anything unusual about anyone in your family lately?" Yuan Ji asked, looking into Zhang Feng's eyes.

Zhang Feng frowned: "What do you mean by that, Lord Yuan? What happened to my family?"

"Hey......."

Yuan Ji sighed and said, "Yesterday, the curfew in the city was lifted. I've been cooped up in my residence for months and wanted to go out for a walk."

"What a coincidence."

"I met Brother Zhang's wife on my way to Jinshi."

"What's so strange about that?" Zhang Feng said, his face gradually darkening. "Is that all Lord Yuan wanted to say?"

Yuan Ji quickly shook his head and said, "Of course not."

"Brother Zhang, please listen patiently."

Yuan Ji said calmly, "When I saw Brother Zhang's wife, I was about to greet her, but she seemed to be in a great hurry."

"At the time, I really didn't think much of it, I just thought that something had happened to Brother Zhang's wife."

"Brother Zhang, as you know, Luoyang has been in chaos ever since the Taiping Dao incident."

"So, I immediately sent my servants to see if there was anything I could do to help."

"but......"

At this point, Yuan Ji paused, looking at Zhang Feng with some difficulty, and said, "Brother Zhang, I really have no ill intentions."

"But I never expected that when the servant returned, he would find..."

What did you discover?

Zhang Feng's tone changed, and a fierce look, completely different from his usual humility, gradually appeared on his face.

Just like... just like last night behind the mansion.

"Hey......"

"I shouldn't have said this, but..."

"I don't want Brother Zhang to be kept in the dark like this."

“This is unfair to Brother Zhang.”

"Then I will say it. I just hope Brother Zhang will not act impulsively. As for if Brother Zhang blames me for meddling, I will accept it."

It was as if they had made up their minds.

Yuan Ji lowered his head and smiled slightly, but said with a guilty tone, "Brother Zhang, when my servant came back, he said that he saw Brother Zhang's wife, Madam He, outside Jinshi, not far from the south gate of Xiyuan, getting into the same carriage as Duan Yu."

"I didn't believe it when I first heard it, just to avoid the possibility that I had mistaken someone for someone else."

"So I waited there, and after about an hour, I did see Duan Yu get off your wife's carriage, Brother Zhang."

"Brother Zhang..."

Yuan Ji raised his head and looked at Zhang Feng's face again.

I saw a distorted face and eyes filled with resentment.

"Yuan Ji, what do you mean by that!" Zhang Feng gritted his teeth and roared like a wild beast!
