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

The victors in this contest were undoubtedly Dong Zhuo and Duan Yu.

Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, and others led the able-bodied men of the village to throw hundreds of heads onto the edge of the moat of Jinyang City.

Looking at those hundreds of heads.

Standing in front of the city gate, Liu Wei clenched his fists, unable to calm down for a long time.

"I'm so angry."

Liu Wei gritted his teeth.

Several years ago, when Dong Zhuo first arrived in Bingzhou, the two had a contest.

The outcome was obvious: he won, and Dong Zhuo lost.

Dong Zhuo has been very well-behaved for the past few years.

It's not fair to call them very well-behaved; it's more accurate to say they've been suppressed and made very obedient.

For this reason, Dong Zhuo went to Luoyang several times, hoping to find a way out and be transferred to another place to serve as an official.

His friend in Luoyang told him about this.

Just didn't expect it.

Now this brute from Liangzhou has turned around and is riding on his head.

"Go home."

Liu Wei said fiercely.

..........

It was nearing afternoon.

West Market.

Dressed in pristine white, Zhen Jiang was walking through the West Market with her personal maid and two attendants.

At that time, as spring arrived and the snow on the grasslands melted, the furs that had been trapped on the grasslands all winter were transported from Jiuyuan and Yunzhong to Jinyang.

At this time, the West Market was filled with a large number of fur merchants.

There were Han Chinese merchants dressed in Hanfu (traditional Han clothing) with fur coats over it.

There were also Hu merchants who wore Hu clothing and traveled around Han areas year-round.

There were also a small number of Xianbei and Xiongnu merchants who brought furs from the Xianbei and Xiongnu grasslands on horses.

The vast West Market was filled with the sounds of vendors hawking their wares and the unpleasant smell of livestock manure.

This was Zhen Jiang's first time visiting such a place.

Zhen Jiang was better than the maid who covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

"Hey, have you heard? That guy who shot tigers and set up a stall at our market a few days ago."

"I heard he wiped out all the bandits in Longshan."

A group of people surrounded a fur merchant.

The fur merchant sitting behind the oxcart spoke with great enthusiasm, as if he had witnessed it firsthand.

"That man is called Duan Yu. Just a few days ago, he was a small villager. At that time, he was quite famous in the market for his outstanding archery skills, shooting tigers and bears."

"Later I heard that, for some reason, he became a vagrant in the village."

"Just yesterday, it is said that he single-handedly shot down three hundred bandits with a powerful bow."

As the merchant spoke, he gestured as if he were drawing a bow with both hands.

However, his thin figure looked completely different from Duan Yu's.

Even the maid standing behind Zhen Jiang couldn't help but cover her red lips and chuckle when she saw this scene:

“Miss, this man is such a braggart, as if he had actually met Young Master Duan.”

Zhen Jiang smiled slightly.

Her beautiful eyes seemed to truly see Duan Yu's tall and upright figure.

I wonder how he is doing.

Zhen Jiang instinctively stopped in her tracks, wanting to hear something about Duan Yu from the fur merchant.

After arriving in Jinyang at noon, Duan Yubian told them to go into the city first.

She knew that Duan Yu must have other important matters to attend to.

Therefore, they had no choice but to enter the city first.

However, before entering the city, she had already told Duan Yu the name of the inn she planned to stay at.

I just don't know if Duan Yu will come.

After all, a life-saving grace must be repaid.

Moreover, Duan Yu not only saved her alone, but also dozens of servants, attendants, and maids from the Zhen family.

As they were getting into the conversation, Jia Dong stood on the oxcart.

However, the wolf-skin cloak he was wearing was a bit too big, which looked somewhat funny.

"Duan Yu held a precious bow, stood on his horse, and drew the bow with both hands."

"The arrows rained down like locusts, and in an instant, dozens of bandits from Longshan were shot dead."

"That place was littered with corpses and rivers of blood!"

"Moreover, every arrow of Duan Yu's was extremely accurate, each one piercing straight into the center of the brow and passing through the brain!"

Jia Dong stretched out his hand, gesturing with his withered arm, his facial features seemingly contorted in pain.

However, the surrounding merchants and passersby were all attracted by Jia Dong's performance and story.

"Gentlemen, I, Jia Dong, am not boasting. If you do not believe me, go and see for yourselves outside the city."

"Every head is an arrow between the eyebrows!"

"More than three hundred bandits from Longshan were wiped out by Duan Yu."

"Just this afternoon, Duan Yu returned, bringing with him more than three hundred heads."

"It immediately alarmed the prefect and the governor."

Jia Dong cupped his hands high towards the east and said, "How could the prefect and governor be ordinary people like us?"

"They immediately realized that Duan Yu was no ordinary man; with such bravery and martial prowess, he would surely be ennobled and appointed a general in the future."

"So they both said they wanted to take him as their son-in-law."

"Finally, after careful consideration, Duan Yu chose the governor and returned to his residence with him."

"If you ask me," Jia Dong said with a slight smile, "it won't be long before Duan Yu marries the governor's daughter."

"At that time, Duan Yu will surely become famous throughout Bingzhou."

"It's quite a coincidence, everyone."

Jia Dong flicked his wrist, pulled out a white fox fur pelt from behind him, and said smugly, "Have you all seen this fox fur pelt in my hand?"

"Check if there's even a trace of an arrow wound?"

Jia Dong's words did indeed attract the attention of many fur merchants in the vicinity.

Upon closer inspection, there was indeed no arrow wound.

"hey-hey!"

Jia Dong grinned smugly and said, "Gentlemen, to be honest, I got this fox pelt from Duan Yu a while ago."

"Gentlemen, the price of this fox pelt will have a completely different meaning after Duan Yu becomes wealthy."

"To be honest, if I weren't desperately short of money right now, I would never have taken out this fox fur."

"Save it for the future. When Duan Yu is ennobled and appointed general, do you believe that this one fox pelt alone will be worth a thousand pieces of gold?"

"But today, I must reluctantly transfer ownership of this fox pelt."

"Ten gold coins! I only want ten gold coins!"

Jia Dong gestured with his hand: "For just ten gold coins, you can own this fox pelt that will be worth a thousand gold coins in the future!"

"First come, first served!"

Jia Dong shook the fox pelt in his hands and tried to show it off to everyone.

"cut!"

"If you're not a brother, are you desperate for money?"

"Ten gold pieces? Why don't you just rob someone?"

"This fox pelt is worth at most four hundred coins, and you want ten gold?"

"It's gone, it's gone!"

The crowd that had been surrounding Jia Dong just a second ago scattered almost instantly.

"Hey, hey, don't go!"

"Look at this, everyone, this is..."

"Whee!"

The maid beside Zhen Jiang smiled and said, "Miss, so this person wanted to sell this fox pelt."

It has to be said that Zhen Jiang didn't expect this either.

It turned out that the fur merchant had been talking for so long just to raise the price of the fox pelt he had.

but......

Clearly, nobody bought it.

Regardless of whether Duan Yu will rise to prominence in the future, who can guarantee that this fox pelt was sold by Duan Yu?

There are plenty of fox pelts in the world; even without arrow wounds, the animal might have died from a fall or been strangled.

It doesn't necessarily mean that he was shot through the eyes with an arrow.

"Miss, do you think Young Master Duan will come looking for us?"

Zhen Jiang gently shook her head.

Maybe... maybe not.

Having only met once, how could I possibly hold a grudge against you?

Duan Yu was not the kind of person who would take advantage of someone's kindness to seek repayment.

Although the vendor's words were somewhat exaggerated, she had personally witnessed Duan Yu's abilities.

With Duan Yu's abilities and his loyal subordinates, he would achieve great things no matter where he was.

How could such a magnificent man possibly be interested in such a small reward from her?

But for some reason, the more Zhen Jiang thought about it, the more regretful, expectant, and uneasy she felt.

"Let's go, it's getting dark, let's head back first."

"if......"

"If fate allows, we may meet again in Jinyang City."

...........

On the eve of sunset.

The Dong residence.

Inside Dong Yi's boudoir.

Duan Yu reached out and embraced the person beside him.

After entering the city at noon, Duan Yu followed Dong Zhuo back to the Dong residence.

Because he hadn't slept well the night before and had been traveling non-stop, even Duan Yu was somewhat tired.

So after exchanging a few words with Dong Zhuo, he was sent to the backyard to rest.

Duan Yu was originally just in the guest room.

But Dong Yi stopped them halfway.

There's an old saying that it's hardest to bear the kindness of a beautiful woman.

Whether it's Diao Chan or Dong Yi.

They were all people who had been kind to Duan Yu.

If Diao Chan hadn't rescued him when he first transmigrated, he would probably have been left with a lifelong disability, even if he hadn't frozen to death in the snow.

And Dong Yi.

They provided tremendous help from the very beginning.

And they give in the hope of receiving something in return.

Moreover, both women are now bed partners.

Why did you leave without saying goodbye that night?

Duan Yu asked softly while holding Dong Yi in his arms.

Nestled against Duan Yu's broad chest, Dong Yi pressed herself tightly against him.

"I do like you," Dong Yi said softly, "but I don't know if you like me too."

"If you don't like me, but feel guilty about what happened that night, and then agree to be with me, that's not what I want."

Duan Yu turned to look at Dong Yi, his eyes filled with surprise.

So that's what she was thinking?

"I don't want you to feel guilty towards Diao Chan because of me, nor do I want you to marry me out of guilt, so..."

"So you're just going to put yourself through this?" Duan Yu frowned.

Dong Yi shook her head.

"I don't feel wronged."

"Because I really like you."

Foolish woman.

Duan Yu held Dong Yi tightly in his arms.

"Young Master... Miss..."

"The master sent someone to say he wants to see the son-in-law..."
