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

"Mr. Li came to see me?" Duan Yu asked, slightly surprised.

Li Ru smiled, twirling his mustache, and nodded with a smile: "Yes."

Although he said that, Li Ru smiled bitterly to himself.

I didn't come here to see you; it's your future father-in-law who wants to see his son-in-law. I'm just a front.

Just now, after finalizing how to help Duan Yu, Dong Zhuo had nothing else to do.

Having just learned that Duan Yu was going to enter the city, he suddenly had a brilliant idea.

I've heard the name Duan Yu for so long.

Dong Zhuo had never met Duan Yu.

So, on a whim, he decided to see Duan Yu.

But as a regional governor.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo learned from Dong Yi that Duan Yu's true identity had not been revealed, so he planned to conceal his identity and test Duan Yu.

That's why we're in this situation now.

"I wonder what brings Mr. Li to see me?" Duan Yu asked curiously.

The animal hides that I had agreed to have Dong Yi deliver were supposed to be delivered by this Mr. Li.

But after the incident of rescuing Dong Yi on the street, he never saw Mr. Li again.

Li Ru chuckled and then said, "Young Master Duan, I am a minor official in Jinyang. Today I heard in the county that Young Master Duan is coming to the county to suppress bandits in the mountains."

"I wonder if Young Master Duan has come to Jinyang for this matter?"

Duan Yu was not surprised by Li Ru's words.

He had already guessed that Dong Yi's father must be an official.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the middle-aged man surnamed Li in front of us is in Jinyang County.

Duan Yu nodded and smiled, replying, "Exactly."

"This time, I was invited by the county magistrate to come into the mountains to suppress the bandits..."

At this point, Duan Yu paused slightly and looked at Li Ru.

This middle-aged man surnamed Li held a position in the county and had an unusual relationship with Dong Yi.

Since they came to see him at this time, they certainly weren't there for no reason.

It's hard to say...

Duan Yu pondered this in his heart.

There were already some suspicious points about the matter of suppressing the bandits. Could it be that this middle-aged man surnamed Li in front of us knows something?

Or is it intentionally meant to reveal something?

"I wonder what advice Mr. Li has for me?" Duan Yu asked, looking at Li Ru.

Li Ru chuckled softly.

Dong Zhuo, standing to the side, raised an eyebrow as he looked at Duan Yu.

“Young Master Duan, I have heard that the bandits of Longshan are extremely fierce and numerous. The government has tried to suppress them several times but has failed.”

"Young Master Duan, your trip... may not be a great success, but you should still be careful."

Li Ru's words made Duan Yu's eyes narrow.

Liu He, the county's bandit chief, had previously mentioned that the county had launched several campaigns against the bandits, but none of them were in the city.

However, it was only said that the information had been leaked, without mentioning that the bandits were fierce.

This middle-aged man surnamed Li probably knows some inside information.

“Young Master Duan, I am only doing this on someone’s behalf,” Li Ru said with a smile. “Miss Duan is very concerned about you and is afraid that something might happen to you, so she asked me to come and remind you.”

"and....."

Li Ru paused slightly, glanced at Dong Zhuo beside him, and then said, "Miss said that if Young Master Duan has any doubts, then this matter can be handled."

"As long as Young Master Duan speaks up, I, Li, will go back and report to Miss immediately."

"Just get them to help you cancel this bandit suppression operation."

Beside him, Dong Zhuo looked intently at Duan Yu, also waiting for Duan Yu's reply.

Duan Yu remained silent.

He was aware of Dong Yi's feelings.

Their ambiguous relationship was just one step away from being officially confirmed.

He also knew that Dong Yi's father should hold a fairly high-ranking official position in Jinyang.

The reason he never asked Dong Yi or inquired about her was that he didn't want Dong Yi to think that he was only approaching her because of her father's background.

After all, he's just a small-time vagrant in the village now.

Since he never intended to rely on Dong Yi's background in the first place.

So naturally, we don't need to now.

Moreover.

The more suspicious this bandit suppression is, the more it proves that someone is behind it all.

How can we break the deadlock without eliminating the thieves and delving into the situation?

As the saying goes, you can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days.

Even if we can escape this danger today with Dong Yi's help, what about in the future?

We can't rely on others for everything.

and also.

Duan Yu turned his head and glanced at Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, and the others behind him.

These young people he brought from the village always have to go through some things to test their character.

So, meeting Li Ru's gaze, Duan Yu shook his head with a light smile.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Li. I know it's Yi'er's intention, but I appreciate it."

Duan Yu took a deep breath, stood up straight, showed no fear, and said calmly, "It is my honor to have Yi'er's concern. Please convey this to Yi'er, Mr. Li."

"If I, Duan Yu, cannot even handle such a trivial matter, and have to rely on her to solve it, how can I be worthy of a beauty's affection?"

"Those are just bandits; I, Duan Yu, don't even consider them a threat."

"Mr. Lao Li told Yi'er not to worry."

"Just wait patiently for my good news."

"With the bow and horse that Yi'er gave me, how could I do justice to this precious bow if I didn't take a hundred heads?" Duan Yu said with a smile.

"color!"

As soon as Duan Yu finished speaking, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but cheer.

Li Ru: "...Ahem!"

"Good, good, good, Young Master Duan, what a spirit you have!" Li Ru hurriedly changed the subject from Dong Zhuo's words.

Dong Zhuo realized that he was being too excited, so he quickly shut up.

Li Ru reached into his sleeve and pulled out a set of keys.

“Young Master Duan, this is a mansion in Jinyang City. It was given to you by Miss as a parting gift.” Li Ru said, “Young Master Duan will probably be in the city for a few days. Miss learned that Young Master Duan had no place to stay, so she gave this as a parting gift.”

Duan Yu shook his head and did not accept it.

Since Dong Yi's father was an official in Jinyang, and this matter originated with the magistrate of Jinyang County.

If he were to move into the mansion that Dong Yi had given him now, it would be tantamount to becoming involved with Dong Yi.

If the magistrate of Jinyang County really has ulterior motives, then this connection between him and Dong Yi might alert the enemy.

so......

"Mr. Li, please thank Yi'er for her kind words on my behalf."

After considering the matter, Duan Yu said, "It's not that I'm refusing, but there's actually a reason."

"Oh?" Li Ru raised an eyebrow.

Duan Yu lowered his voice and said four words.

.........

After a brief meeting, Duan Yu left without lingering and headed straight for Jinyang.

Just after Duan Yu left.

The positions of Dong Zhuo, Hua Xiong, and Li Ru were all switched.

Dong Zhuo rode in a carriage, Li Ru rode a horse, and Hua Xiong drove the carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, Dong Zhuo was in a great mood, stroking his beard.

She still looked like she had accepted Duan Yu as her son-in-law.

"Zijian, what do you think of my son-in-law? Haha!" Dong Zhuo asked with a hearty laugh.

Hua Xiong, who was driving the carriage with a resolute face, nodded and said, "Miss Yi has a good eye for people, and Young Master Duan is very brave!"

"My lord, I can tell he is a valiant general on the battlefield."

Dong Zhuo was born in Liangzhou and had a great fondness for fierce generals.

Putting everything else aside, Duan Yu's words, "If I don't take the heads of a hundred men, how can I be worthy of my daughter's love?" had already moved him.

“I am very pleased with this boy.” Dong Zhuo laughed heartily, “Yi’er’s judgment is indeed excellent.”

Li Ru, riding alongside the carriage, stroked his mustache and said with a smile, "My lord, Young Master Duan is not only a valiant general on the battlefield, but also an extremely meticulous person."

Ok?

Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru and asked, "Wen You, what do you mean by that?"
