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

Inside the inn.

Duan Yu sat alone at a table by the window on the first floor.

Two black packages were placed in front of him.

The waiter went upstairs to look for Zhen Jiang, only to find that she wasn't there.

However, there were still people in the Zhen family caravan, so they immediately went to the West Market to find Zhen Jiang, who was purchasing furs.

Duan Yu sat alone on the first floor, drinking and waiting.

Outside the inn, Chen Qing'an and Liu Baitu stood beside the black jade Qilin beast.

Compared to before they met Duan Yu, both of them have noticeably increased in height and weight.

Not only Chen Qing'an, but also Liu Baitu, Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu were the same.

The reason why men in ancient times were generally not tall or strong was mainly due to nutritional issues.

One reason is insufficient nutrition.

In most ordinary households, there is only one meal a day, and it is common for people not to have enough to eat.

In addition, most people get married as early as fourteen or fifteen years old, which leads to slow physical development.

Fortunately, none of the four were married before they followed Duan Yu.

For nearly a month, they ate three or even four meals a day, and every meal included meat and was filling.

Today, the surrounding villages and towns all refer to these people as the Four Little Generals.

The four individuals have distinct personalities and unique characteristics.

Tie Shitou is bold, energetic, and resolute.

It was precisely because of his bold personality that he dared to join Duan Yu on the very first day he met him, and he was also the first of the four young generals to join Duan Yu.

However, its shortcomings are also obvious. Because of its boldness and drive, it lacks attention to detail and is careless.

Wang Hunu was honest and kind-hearted, and was also the tallest, most valiant, and hardest-working of the four.

In the last battle to suppress the bandits in Longshan, Wang Hunu displayed a fierce and valiant performance.

Eight people were beheaded in the battle.

This was their first battle.

Judging from Wang Hunu's current momentum, he will surely become a fierce general charging into battle in the future.

The reason why Chen Qing'an and Liu Baitu were left in the village during the last bandit suppression in Longshan was because Chen Qing'an and Liu Baitu were more composed.

Chen Qing'an has the air of a scholar-general, and he is particularly interested in military strategy and tactics.

She was also one of Gao Shun's four favorite people.

Liu Baitu is usually taciturn, but his personality is decisive and ruthless. Gao Shun's assessment of Liu Baitu is that he is not very suitable for military service, but he can develop in other directions.

Duan Yu also had his own plans regarding the personalities, strengths, and weaknesses of the four young generals.

"My two elder brothers..."

"These two gentlemen have an extraordinary air about them; they are clearly not ordinary people."

Just as Duan Yu was deep in thought, a man's voice suddenly rang out outside the inn.

Duan Yu turned his head to look through the window.

A gaunt man, probably in his twenties, wearing a wolfskin cloak, was standing in front of Chen Qing'an and Liu Baitu.

Chen Qingan and Liu Baitu looked at the man in front of them, who had been beaten halfway, and listened to the incoherent praise. Their brows furrowed for a moment.

"Tsk tsk..." Jia Dong glanced at the horses behind Chen Qing'an and Liu Baitu and then clicked his tongue in amazement, "Gentlemen, it seems that you two are also admirers of Lord Duan Yu."

"This horse..."

"It bears some resemblance to the legendary Jade Kirin Beast."

Jia Dong rubbed his beard.

Chen Qing'an: "......"

Liu Baitu: "..."

Jia Dong chuckled and said, "To be honest, I have met Lord Duan once before."

As he spoke, Jia Dong pulled out a red fox pelt from behind his back and said:

"Please take a look, you two."

"This is one of the fox pelts from when Lord Duan was selling animal skins at a stall in the West Market before he rose to prominence."

"I happened to be passing by at the time, so I bought it."

“Look at this, you two. There are no marks on this fox fur. It was pierced through the eye by Lord Duan’s divine arrow.”

"That's why it leaves no scars."

"You all know about Lord Duan's archery skills, right? He's known as a divine archer..."

Chen Qing'an: "......"

Liu Baitu: "..."

Inside the inn, Duan Yu couldn't help but smile slightly.

This guy is quite interesting.

What is he trying to achieve by praising himself for no apparent reason?

Just as Duan Yu was thinking about it.

Jia Dong then changed the subject, looking at Chen Qing'an and Liu Baitu, and said, "Since you two are admirers of Lord Duan, you must be aware of Lord Duan's deeds."

"The price of this fox fur has increased many times over in the market today."

"To be honest, I've encountered some difficulties."

"That's why we had no choice but to sell these treasures."

"Are you two interested?"

Good guy...

Duan Yu exclaimed, "Wow!"

This guy is actually trying to sell his animal hides?

So all that previous flattery was just to increase the value of the animal hide he had?

Isn't this what later generations called marketing?

An ordinary object is given an extraordinary story.

Combining the two will greatly increase its value.

This guy... turns out he's a merchant.

but.....

Duan Yu raised an eyebrow.

This guy is quite shrewd and a business genius.

People in this era can already grasp marketing on their own?

What a talented person!

But that animal hide... it must be fake.

Just as Duan Yu was pondering this, a woman's questioning voice suddenly rang out behind the man.

"what."

"It's you."

Hearing the sound, Duan Yu turned his head to look.

Not far from the inn.

Zhen Jiang, dressed in a pristine white gown, stepped down from the carriage.

The one speaking was Zhen Jiang's maid.

Duan Yu had met him before when he was in Longshan.

"You've come here again to sell your animal skins, huh?" The little maid said to Jia Dong with a grin. "Did you sell that white fox skin last time? Why is it red today?"

Jia Dong: "......"

Duan Yu: "???"

Liu Baitu: "Hmm?"

Chen Qingan: "Hmm?"

Upon hearing the maid's words, Jia Dong's face instantly turned awkward.

He had just said that he only had this one fox pelt when a maid's words exposed his lie.

It's obvious this isn't the first time he's done this.

Moreover, even the color of the fox fur in his hand had changed.

This is clearly a scam.

"Um... you two, I just remembered there's still porridge cooking in the pot at home. I have something to do, so I'll have to go now..."

As he spoke, Jia Dong immediately put away the fox fur, wrapped himself in his wolf fur cloak, and turned and slipped away in a flash.

"Cui'er".

Zhen Jiang, standing next to the maid, gave her a reproachful look.

The little maid, dressed in a light green dress, stuck out her tongue and said with a grin, "Miss, I just didn't want to see him lie."

"The old lady said that honesty is the foundation of business, and he was obviously lying."

"Moreover, he actually asked for ten gold coins for a single fox pelt, and he was even using Young Master Duan's name. This is clearly a disgrace to Young Master Duan."

"I'm going to expose him."

Zhen Jiang chuckled softly upon hearing this and said, "Alright, you've already scared him away."

"Let's go, the young master Duan you've been longing for has arrived."

The maid chuckled and said, "It's not that I'm thinking about it, it's that you're thinking about it, Miss."

"Miss almost twisted her ankle when she got on the bus in such a hurry."

Zhen Jiang blushed immediately.

"You little brat, I'll punish you."

The little maid wasn't afraid at all, and gave a cute smile.

Little did they know, Duan Yu had noticed their conversation and expressions.

Listening to the conversation between the master and servant, Duan Yu smiled slightly.

Chen Qingan and Liu Baitu looked out the window at Duan Yu, who was sitting in the inn.

Duan Yu raised his head and winked in the direction where the man had just disappeared.

Chen Qingan and Liu Baitu immediately realized what was happening.

"I'll go, you stay here," Liu Baitu said calmly.

Chen Qingan nodded as if he remembered something, and instructed, "Go easy on me."

Liu Baitu turned his head and chuckled.

Outside the inn, Zhen Jiang was talking to her maid when she felt a special gaze fall on her.

Following the direction of her gaze, Zhen Jiang froze on the spot the next second.
