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

After entering the main hall, He Miao looked at He Jin and spoke directly:

"Brother, something terrible has happened!"

He Jin, who had a smile on his face, was immediately taken aback.

He Lingman, who was sitting to the side, also looked at He Miao.

He Miao, whose real name is Zhu Miao.

After He Jin's mother died, his father remarried, and He Miao was the woman He Zhen brought with him after his remarriage.

He changed his surname to He after joining the He family.

In essence, He Jin and He Miao were not related by blood; they were only brothers in name.

He Miao's true relatives should be He Lingsi and He Lingman.

After He Jin became the Grand General, he appointed He Miao as the Commandant of the Yue Cavalry.

In the Battle of Quliang, Lu Zhi lost 50,000 elite imperial troops, and all five Northern Army schools in Luoyang were wiped out.

He Miao is currently also preparing to establish the Yueqi First Battalion.

"Shuda, why are you so panicked? What serious thing has happened?" He Jin frowned and looked at He Miao.

He Miao glanced around.

He Jin, understanding immediately, waved his hand to dismiss the maids and servants in the main hall.

After everyone had left, He Miao took a few steps forward and approached He Jin, then whispered:

“Brother, I just heard outside that Duan Yu has died.”

He Miao's face still showed the shock of hearing the news for the first time.

"what!"

He Jin suddenly stood up from his seat.

Meanwhile, He Lingman, who was holding a jade teacup, slipped from her hand, and the jade cup fell directly onto the white marble at her feet and shattered.

Her beautiful eyes were wide open, and she seemed to be frozen in place.

"Uncle Da, what did you say? Duan Yu is dead?"

"this......."

"Where did you hear this news from?"

He Zhen glanced in the direction outside the main hall and said, "Brother, the news has already spread throughout Luoyang City."

"I just heard it from one of my men while I was with the Northern Army outside the city."

He said that Duan Yu fought with the rebel Beigong Boyu in Liangzhou and they both died.

"It's said that this news came out ten days ago."

"It's just that the news has only just reached Luoyang."

He Jin's expression changed from blank to shocked.

Duan Yu is dead!

Duan Yu is dead!

Duan Yu... he's actually dead?

this......

Just before He Miao arrived, he was still talking about Duan Yu.

How could he have died?

"Impossible, he can't be dead!"

While He Jin was still in shock, and He Miao was waiting for He Jin to speak.

He Lingman, who had been stunned for a long time, suddenly stood up wearing a purple dress.

Then he took two steps and arrived at He Miao's side.

"Brother, you're lying to me, aren't you? You're lying to me, aren't you?"

"Duan Yu... Duan Yu was so powerful... how could he die?"

"Brother, this can't be true."

He Miao was not immediately aware of why her younger sister, He Lingman, was so agitated.

Compared to He Jin, He Miao is the sibling of He Lingman, born of the same mother.

"Little sister... I'm not making this up, everyone outside dresses like this now, and I don't believe it either, but..."

“But now there are rumors everywhere that Duan Yu is dead,” He Miao explained.

Crystalline tears uncontrollably slid down from the corners of He Lingman's beautiful eyes.

Unable to believe it, He Lingman grabbed He Miao's armor with both hands.

"Little sister."

He Jin looked at He Lingman and said, "Little sister, there's no need to be so agitated. Even if Duan Yu is dead, the matter of the white paper and the snow salt will still be entrusted to you."

He Jin frowned and glanced around.

Duan Yu is dead.

Although it's not exactly good news.

However, it seems to have had no impact on the He family.

and......

"Uncle, is this news confirmed?" He Jin asked again to confirm.

He Miao nodded: "It should be true."

"Hey......"

He Jin sighed and said, "Duan Ziyi was a good person, it's just a pity..."

"How do you say that."

"A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind."

"Heaven is jealous of talent."

"What a pity."

"Although Duan Yu is dead, the business of selling white paper and snow salt should still continue."

"This is a rare treasure, and it's what Duan Yu promised us."

However…

He Jin said with a glint in his eyes, "These white paper and snow salt are extremely profitable. Without Duan Yu, how could his family possibly be protected?"

“We have a very close relationship with Duan Yu, so we should help him out.”

"In that case, Uncle, you should send someone to try to contact Duan Yu's family."

"Isn't Dong Zhuo still serving as the Commandant of the Capital Region in Luoyang?"

"Go to Dong Zhuo and tell him that I am willing to step in and help Duan Ziyi keep this business, but on the condition that all future sales of snow salt and white paper must be given to the He family."

“Considering our past relationship, we’ll take… we’ll take 80%, and the remaining 20% ​​will belong to Duan Yu’s family,” He Jin said.

He Lingman's gaze suddenly turned to He Jin.

"Brother, we..."

At this moment, He Jin was completely immersed in deep thought about planning for the future.

They noticed He Lingman's change there.

They assumed He Lingman was shocked by Duan Yu's death and disappointed by the unexpected turn of events that had led to their agreement.

He Lingman had barely begun to speak when He Jin waved his hand to interrupt her:

"Little sister, you'll have to handle this matter. Your brother promised you, so don't worry, nothing will change."

At this moment, He Lingman was already in a state of utter confusion.

He wouldn't listen to anything He Jin said.

She doesn't care about money.

It was Duan Yu.

Overwhelmed with grief, He Lingman released He Miao's hands and walked out of the main hall.

She doesn't believe it.

They didn't believe Duan Yu could die.

He Miao glanced at He Lingsi in the distance, then turned to He Jin with a thoughtful expression and said, "Brother, my little sister seems a bit off."

He Jin shook his head and said, "Don't worry about that now. With Duan Ziyi dead, his businesses will definitely attract a lot of attention. We need to strike first. Go find Dong Zhuo immediately."

Hearing He Jin's order, He Miao had no choice but to nod.

...........

Luoyang is large, but not very large either.

At least compared to Duan Yu's current reputation, Luoyang is not that big.

The moment the rumor spread.

The whole of Luoyang seemed to be boiling water.

News of Duan Yu's death gradually spread from the streets and alleys of Luoyang to the imperial palace.

As the weather turns cooler in autumn, the morning dew wets the tender leaves in the exquisite garden outside Changqiu Palace.

Inside Changqiu Palace, He Lingsi, dressed in a white undergarment, rose with the help of her maids after getting up.

"I have been feeling tired lately."

He Lingsi, who had just gotten up, said softly.

A maid was combing He Lingsi's long black hair.

"Your Majesty, there is a saying among the people that one feels sleepy in spring, tired in autumn, and drowsy in summer. Now that it is autumn, it is only natural that Your Majesty feels a little tired."

"This servant will go to the Imperial Hospital to find the imperial physicians to prescribe some nourishing formulas for Her Majesty."

He Lingman nodded slightly and said, "That's fine."

"I don't know what's wrong with me lately, but my appetite has improved a lot. I thought the sour plum fish I had the day before yesterday was delicious."

"Especially that sour taste."

"Go and give the instructions to prepare some more today."

The palace maid beside her responded in agreement.

Meanwhile, He Lingman was sitting in front of a huge bronze mirror, being attended to by more than a dozen palace maids as she washed and dressed.

After being passed through layers of maids outside the palace, a message was finally delivered to He Lingsi's personal maid.

The maid who was directing the other palace maids to dress and dress He Lingman came to He Lingman's side.

He Lingman's gaze drifted to the expression on the face of the maid behind her.

"Your Majesty, a message has just arrived from outside the palace." The maidservant placed her hands in front of her and bowed her head.

He Lingman frowned: "What news is there that makes you so panicked?"

The maid lowered her head and whispered, "Your Highness, news has come from outside the palace that the Governor of Liangzhou, Marquis Ji... has died in Liangzhou."

"what!"

He Lingman, who was sitting in a folding chair, suddenly stood up, knocking over the rouge and powder next to her, which fell to the ground.

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

West Garden.

Liu Hong, who had spent the night in the West Garden and was still drunk, was fast asleep in the palace next to the nude swimming pool.

The eunuch Zuo Feng stood outside the palace gate.

Zuo Feng, with his eyes slightly closed, was still dozing off.

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from afar.

The alert Zuo Feng immediately opened his eyes.

Not far away, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were walking hurriedly in this direction with solemn expressions!
