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

Li Shanfeng, who was crouching down, glanced at the battlefield in front of him, then lowered his body and ran towards the back of the mountain.

However, just as Li Shanfeng had taken two steps, a sharp arrow followed closely behind.

puff!

"Ouch!"

Li Shanfeng cried out in pain, then his legs gave way and he fell to the ground.

His left calf had been pierced by a sharp arrow.

In the distance, Duan Yu remained in the posture of drawing his bow and launching an arrow.

“Damn it…” Li Shanfeng cursed.

"You son of a bitch Chen Ye, what kind of killing machine did you bring me?!"

"Is this some kind of country bumpkin?!"

"You son of a bitch Chen Ye, are you trying to kill me?!"

Li Shanfeng clutched his calf and wailed in pain.

On the main battlefield, the remaining dozens of bandits were still hot-blooded when they first charged out.

However, after being killed twice by Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu, who led the village youths, he instantly lost all his courage.

He threw down his weapon, covered his head, and squatted on the ground, begging for mercy.

Having tasted the blood of killing for the first time, Tie Shitou wiped the blood off his face and turned to look at Duan Yu.

"Brother Duan," Tie Shitou said, his blood surging and his face flushed, "these people..."

Duan Yu glanced at the remaining dozen or so bandits, then shook his head and said, "Tie them all up; they'll be useful later."

"Also, seize the treasury of these bandits."

These bandits have been entrenched in Jinyang for so long, frequently robbing merchants along the way, they must have accumulated some wealth over the years.

So we'll definitely have to loot it.

Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu both nodded.

After the battle, thanks to Duan Yu's presence in the rear, the twenty-two men only suffered minor injuries.

On the other hand, of the more than 300 bandits in Longshan, more than 200 were killed by Duan Yu.

The remaining dozens of people were killed by Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu, who led twenty men.

A dozen or so people surrendered.

As for the one who tried to escape at the end, Duan Yu thought it must have been the leader.

While Tie Shitou and the others were binding the bandit, Duan Yu also walked towards the bandit.

This was the first time Li Shanfeng had seen Duan Yu.

Li Shanfeng, who was lying on the ground, looked up at Duan Yu as if he were looking at a giant.

Those cold eyes and indifferent gaze gave Li Shanfeng a very familiar feeling.

He was a villager back then.

Because his village was robbed by bandits, resulting in the deaths of dozens of people, he was forced to become an outlaw and boarded a boat with the bandits.

That same year, because of his 'outstanding' performance, he met the bandit leader.

At that time, he felt that the bandit leader sitting high in the first seat was looking at him like that.

His gaze was indifferent, as if he were looking at ants.

However, many years later, he too sat in that chair.

He became a bandit leader in the eyes of others.

He thought he had become stronger.

But......

Only now did he realize that he was still the same person who came from the small mountain village.

Even when faced with someone stronger than him, he still felt timid.

"My lord... please don't kill me! I'll give you all my money if you don't kill me!" Li Shanfeng begged for mercy.

Duan Yu squatted down and slung the longbow behind his back.

Whether I kill you or not, everything here is mine.

“So you need to find another reason why I won’t kill you,” Duan Yu said.

Li Shanfeng swallowed hard.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Shanfeng nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, sir, I have it!"

"I have a secret, a secret about Prefect Liu Wei."

Ok?

Duan Yu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

Liu Wei, the Prefect of Taiyuan Commandery?

How did Lishan Feng know Prefect Liu Wei's secret?

"Speak," Duan Yu said, looking at Li Shanfeng. "If even half a word is false, you know the consequences."

Li Shanfeng nodded repeatedly, his voice trembling as he said, "I wouldn't dare."

"A petty person dares not lie."

"The reason why I have been able to occupy the Longshan area of ​​Jinyang for so many years is because of the indulgence of Prefect Liu Wei."

"The merchants I have ambushed and killed over the years were mostly under the orders of Prefect Liu Wei. Furthermore, most of the money and grain I have plundered over the years have been given to Prefect Liu Wei."

Ah.

Good guy.

Duan Yu thought to himself, "Wow!"

Is this even possible?

Raising bandits to respect themselves?

Of course, it's not impossible.

The phrase "raising bandits to enhance one's own importance" originated from officials of that era.

"What proof do you have?" Duan Yu asked casually. "Just because you say so doesn't mean it is?"

"I would never dare to lie, sir," Li Shanfeng said, his voice trembling with tears. "Back then..."

Lishanfeng didn't know until he told him.

It turns out that there were countless bandits in Longshan back then.

In bad times, many people turned to banditry. In addition, Jinyang was the capital of Taiyuan Prefecture, so almost everyone who traded furs had to come here.

Therefore, many bandits gathered here.

Li Shanfeng was originally a local villager, but later he also became an outlaw.

In an unexpected turn of events, Li Shanfeng rescued Prefect Liu Wei, who was hunting in the mountains at the time, and the two became acquainted.

From then on, Lishan Feng began to have good luck.

He first became the leader of his own mountain stronghold.

Then they began to annex the bandits of Longshan.

Of course, all of this was done at Liu Wei's behest.

With the arrival of Lishan Feng, the chaotic era of bandits around Jinyang City came to an end.

Merchants coming and going all said that Prefect Liu Wei governed well.

But what they don't know is.

Li Shanfeng was a bandit supported by Prefect Liu Wei.

Taking advantage of the Lishan wind, Liu Wei began to crack down on disobedient merchants, even raising the price of furs, controlling the market, and making a fortune.

Those disobedient merchants, at Liu Wei's instruction, were all buried in Longshan by Lishanfeng and turned into waste materials of withered leaves and grass.

Duan Yu rubbed his chin.

did not expect.

I never expected that this guy was actually a bandit he kept to maintain his own power.

"So, who gave you the order to ambush me this time?" Duan Yu then asked.

"Chen Ye, it's Chen Ye!"

“Magistrate Chen Ye!” Li Shanfeng hurriedly replied, “Magistrate Chen Ye is a former protégé and official of Prefect Liu Wei.”

"Normally, I'm the one who contacts Chen Ye."

"I know I was wrong, but I was just following orders. I beg you to show leniency and spare my life."

Li Shanfeng struggled to his feet, knelt before Duan Yu, and kowtowed to admit his mistake.

Duan Yu reached out and rubbed his eyebrows.

Killing this guy is easy, just one stab.

Leaving it might be of some use.

However, he didn't expect to bring down the governor of Taiyuan County with just a few words from this bandit.

If one could attain the position of a prefect with a salary of 2,000 shi (a unit of grain measure), that would be equivalent to a high-ranking official in charge of a region.

It's not something that can be brought down with just a few words.

But this guy should be more than enough to deal with a county magistrate.

Just as Duan Yu was thinking.

Tie Shitou rushed over.

"Brother Duan, we found some people inside the mountain stronghold."

"Among them was a young girl who was leading the group. She was said to be a merchant from Jizhou, and her surname was... what was it again?"

Tie Shitou scratched his head and frowned, then suddenly realized, "Yes, she said her surname is Zhen, yes, her surname is Zhen."

"That's strange. There are people with the real surname, but I wonder if there are any with the fake surname."

"She said she wanted to see Brother Duan."

.........

On the mountain.

Jia Xu, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, covered his nose and sneezed.

"Wenhe, should we stay here and keep watch?"

"Isn't that unnecessary?" Li Jue pointed to the location of the mountain stronghold below and said, "The battle is over now, so there shouldn't be anything for us to do."

"If I had known it would be like this, I would have been better off staying home and sleeping with my concubine."

"Does this guy even need our protection?"

Jia Xu put his hands inside his sleeves and then squatted down.

"Since it's General Niu's order, I think we should wait. Just in case something goes wrong, it'll save us from being blamed by Magistrate Fang..."

Upon hearing Jia Xu mention Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and Guo Si said nothing more.

In fact, Jia Xu wasn't afraid of any mistakes; he simply wanted to see what Duan Yu, who had made him lose the bet, was up to.
