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

Inside the city of Jinyang, at the Prince's Palace.

Wang Gai, who didn't get up until almost noon, was in a great mood.

The first thing Wang Gai did upon opening his eyes and getting out of bed was to look at the painting hanging in his bedroom.

The figure in the painting is Diao Chan.

She glanced at the maids inside the room, then at Diao Chan in the painting.

Wang Gai instantly found the maids around him utterly boring.

After getting dressed, Wang Gai went to the main hall of the mansion.

Wang Yun currently holds a position in the Luoyang Sikong Mansion, so the eldest son is considered the most important in the family.

Wang Gai naturally became the person in charge of this mansion.

Upon arriving at the main hall, Wang Gai first summoned the steward.

The steward, with half-gray hair and dressed in a gray robe, stood respectfully before Wang Gai.

"Tonight, I will be hosting a banquet at my residence. Get ready to send my visiting cards to the Guo, Zhang, and Chen residences..."

As Wang Gai spoke, he winked at the maid beside him.

A maidservant approached the steward with a name card in her hand.

The steward took the business card and nodded repeatedly: "As you command, young master, this old servant will deliver the business card to you shortly."

Wang Gai smiled with satisfaction and nodded, saying, "In addition, the banquet at the manor should be of a high standard."

“Bring out all the lacquerware that my father treasured.”

Wang Gai felt displeased when he recalled the day Guo Li showed off to him in the mansion.

In this Taiyuan Prefecture, who else can compare with his royal family?

However, Guo Li, who had recently acquired several beautiful maids, began to show them off in front of him.

He's determined to save face today, no matter what.

The thought of Guo Li being utterly astonished by Diao Chan's beauty tonight made Wang Gai feel a sense of satisfaction.

"Alright, go and set it up."

Wang Gai waved his hand to dismiss the steward, and then had someone summon Zhang, the head of the music and dance troupe.

Before long, Master Zhang stood respectfully in front of Wang Gai in the hall.

After returning from his unsuccessful mission in Wucun Township, Zhang Banzhu told Wang Gai the whole story.

Zhang Banzhu was punished by Wang Gai for his poor performance and had been having a hard time in the mansion for several days.

Wang Gai glanced at Master Zhang, and his expression was not pleasant.

“Master Zhang, you failed in your mission in Wucun Township last time and didn’t bring Diao Chan back. I didn’t punish you, did I?” Wang Gai said with a stern face.

Master Zhang immediately nodded: "Young master is benevolent and righteous; it is I who have disappointed you."

"Hmph." Wang Gai snorted and said, "A few country bumpkins scared you into retreating? Wouldn't that tarnish the reputation of my Wang family?"

"If word gets out, outsiders will really think that my Prince's Mansion is easy to bully."

“My father is no longer in Taiyuan County, but he is not some random country bumpkin who can do anything to the Prince’s mansion.”

"I don't want to lower myself to the level of that country bumpkin because I'm afraid it will tarnish my father's reputation and cause him to be criticized in Luoyang."

"But that doesn't mean the matter will just end there."

Wang Gai's words immediately made Zhang, the troupe leader, look puzzled.

Are we not just going to let this go?

Does he really have to go to those five villages?

Thinking of those fierce and ruthless people in Duan Yu's family, Master Zhang felt a chill run down his spine.

"Um... young master, Duan Yu has already taken back the indenture, I'm afraid..."

"Did I give you permission to speak?" Wang Gai frowned.

Master Zhang was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground: "I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please forgive me, young master, please forgive me."

Wang Gai rolled his eyes.

"Go to Wucun Township right now."

Wang Gai frowned and said, "I've already dealt with Duan Yu. As for how to bring Diao Chan back, I'm sure you know what to do."

As Wang Gai spoke, he took out a document from his sleeve.

The signatures, seals, and stamps on the document were all done by Chen Ye, the magistrate of Jinyang County.

Master Zhang glanced at the documents on the ground with a puzzled look, then quickly picked them up.

After glancing at it briefly, Master Zhang's eyes widened immediately.

"Go and do it. I don't need to teach you the rest, do I?"

Master Zhang nodded repeatedly and said respectfully, "I understand."

..........

Outside Jinyang City.

Master Zhang rode out of the east gate in a horse-drawn carriage.

The same two men and the coachman accompanied Zhang, the troupe leader, out of the city.

"Master, we still have to go to Wucun Township."

"Yes, Master, that guy surnamed Duan doesn't seem like someone we can get along with. If we go again..."

Master Zhang shook his head.

Wang Gai has just clearly told him that Duan Yu has been dealt with.

This was something he hadn't anticipated.

He originally thought that the matter was over since he hadn't brought Diao Chan back last time.

But I never expected...

"Hey......"

Master Zhang sighed.

He never expected that this matter would lead to the death of the young man surnamed Duan.

But he was equally helpless.

For aristocratic families like the Wang family...

Wang Shi wouldn't care about the lives and fortunes of ordinary people, or even some small landlords and powerful figures.

If Wang Gai wanted to kill Duan Yu, it might only take one sentence.

He only wanted to keep his job and never intended to harm or kill anyone.

He was nothing more than a person of low social status.

But that's fate.

This is the fate of these pathetic people.

What can I do?

The young man named Duan Yu can only blame himself for being innocent yet guilty of possessing a treasure.

Zhang, the troupe leader, could even foresee Diao Chan's future fate.

With a sigh, Master Zhang offered no explanation to his two subordinates.

"Let's go. Since the young master has given instructions, we servants can only follow them."

Master Zhang said helplessly.

At this moment, the car had already passed through the gate of the east gate of Jinyang City and was heading towards the drawbridge outside the moat.

However, at that moment, a series of panicked shouts came from outside the car.

The people on the drawbridge over the moat, not knowing what had happened, all cried out in alarm.

Master Zhang, inside the carriage, frowned, lifted the carriage curtain, and was about to speak when his gaze fell upon a young man riding a pure black warhorse in the distance.

That horse...

I've met Master Zhang.

That person...

I've also met Master Zhang.

“Duan...Duan Yu?” Master Zhang was taken aback.

Not far away, standing on horseback on the other side of the moat, with dozens of warhorses and a group of people behind him, who else could it be but Duan Yu from Wucun Township?

Master Zhang also saw clearly why the people on the drawbridge over the moat were panicked.

The reason was simply that the dozens of warhorses behind Duan Yu were actually tied with strings of human heads.

There are at least several hundred without even counting them!

"this....."

Master Zhang's eyes widened instantly.

Didn't Wang Gai say he had already dealt with Duan Yu?

But.....

Looking at the hundreds of bloody human heads, Master Zhang suddenly realized something.

Could it be...

"Could these people be the ones Wang Gai sent to deal with Duan Yu? But..." Master Zhang suddenly felt a chill creep down his spine.

I was overjoyed.

Fortunately, he had just left the city.

Fortunately, he had not yet arrived at Duan Yu's house.

Otherwise, wouldn't one of those hundreds of heads be his?

"Quickly, back to the city!" Master Zhang said anxiously to the coachman.

The two subordinates sitting in the carriage next to him were puzzled.

“Teacher, we…”

Before the two could finish speaking, Zhang, the troupe leader, said anxiously, "We're quitting! We can't stay in this Prince's mansion any longer. Let's go back and pack our things. We need to leave the mansion immediately, quick!"

Even Master Zhang's voice trembled slightly as he spoke.

The two subordinates were completely dumbfounded.

Everyone knew that Master Zhang was determined to leave.

Should we stay at the Prince's Mansion?

What a joke.

If things had ended there, it might have been fine.

but now.....

He already felt that this young man from the village named Duan Yu was not someone to be trifled with.

Looking at it now, Master Zhang still feels a chill run down his spine.

Duan Yu brought hundreds of heads to Jinyang, clearly to show off his power.

Duan Yu probably already knows the reason for what happened, and he came to Jinyang to settle accounts with Wang Gai.

He was just a troupe leader who made a living by performing music and dance, partly from the Wang family of Taiyuan, and partly from this god of death, Duan Yu.

Which one can he afford to offend?

If he gets involved, his head might roll in a couple of days.

He won't survive if he offends the Wang family.

However, offending Duan Yu might make him a scapegoat for the Wang family.

Either way, we're doomed. If we don't run now, when will we?

In front of the east gate of Jinyang City.

All eyes of the people were on Duan Yu and his group.

Those hundreds of bloody human heads were shocking.
