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

"Husband..."

"Husband..."

The rear residence of the Duan family.

Two maids carrying lanterns led the way for Duan Yu.

Both Diao Chan and Dong Yi, who had been worried all night, stood in front of the door.

Upon seeing Duan Yu, they immediately went to greet him.

"My lord, I heard from the servants that you had a conflict with the Wang family?"

"My lord, I had the servants steam your favorite venison. You haven't been home all day, are you hungry?"

Dong Yi and Diao Chan asked each other with concern.

Duan Yu smiled slightly, reached out and took the two women's hands, which were a little cold from standing outside, and then gently breathed on them to warm them.

"Let's go back inside and talk. I might have to leave again later, and it may take a while before I come back."

Duan Yu held Dong Yi with one hand and Diao Chan with the other.

Upon hearing Duan Yu say that he had to leave immediately and would not be back for some time, the two women immediately wore worried expressions.

..........

Inside the room, Duan Yu sat behind a vermilion lacquered table, on which were several dishes.

Diao Chan knelt beside Duan Yu, constantly serving him food.

Dong Yi was on the other side wiping Duan Yu's armor and the precious carved bow.

Upon learning that Duan Yu was about to go to Yanmen County to capture Wang Rou, Dong Yi and Diao Chan were both very worried.

Especially Dong Yi.

Compared to Diao Chan, Dong Yi clearly knew much more about this aspect.

Although Duan Yu only gave a general overview, Dong Yi still managed to deduce some details from his words.

Wang Rou, the governor of Yanmen Commandery, colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country by selling prohibited salt and iron to the Xiongnu and Xianbei.

The Xiongnu and Xianbei naturally did not want to see such a person fall.

In case the news leaks out, Wang Rou will find out in advance.

Will Wang Rou just sit and wait to die?

Treason and collusion with the enemy are heinous crimes punishable by the confiscation of property and the extermination of the entire clan.

Wang Rou couldn't just sit idly by and wait to be arrested.

With the Xiongnu and Xianbei as his backers, and being a general of the Xiongnu, how could Wang Rou, who had troops in his hands, not resist?

"Yi'er, I have already spoken with my father-in-law about borrowing troops. Yi'er, you don't need to worry too much."

Seeing Dong Yi's worry, Duan Yu smiled and said, "Although Wang Rou has been operating in Yanmen County for several years, I am carrying my father-in-law's dismissal document with me. Even if he has some troops under his command, it will not matter."

"and.,...."

Duan Yu raised his arm, showing off his muscles, and said, "Don't you all know how capable your husband is? Hehe!"

Dong Yi raised her beautiful eyes and gave Duan Yu a reproachful look: "You still have no manners."

"Okay, okay, we're not worried about you."

Duan Yu chuckled.

"Just stay home and wait for my good news."

After finishing his meal, Duan Yu stood up.

In this urgent situation, he must act expediently and depart tonight.

The main reason I came back was to tell Dong Yi and Diao Chan.

He felt at ease now that Dong Zhuo had not yet taken up his post in Hedong Commandery and was in Jinyang.

Otherwise, since he would be taking his capable assistants with him on this long-distance raid, he was worried that the scholars in Jinyang might cause some trouble if no one was home.

However, with Dong Zhuo around, he had nothing to worry about.

After a brief moment of intimacy with the two women, Duan Yu, with Dong Yi's help, changed into armor, took the precious carved bow, and left the mansion.

Outside the mansion, Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu, along with forty personal guards, waited on horseback outside the gate.

As for Gao Shun and the others, they had already left the city and headed to the Western Camp.

Besides Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu, Jia Xu was also waiting outside the door.

This mission was a raid on Yanmen County. Jia Xu's frail physique certainly couldn't withstand such a arduous journey, so he had no choice but to stay in Jinyang.

"After I leave, my father-in-law will take care of things in the county."

“But tomorrow during the day, the scholars in Jinyang will definitely take some action.” Duan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

His forceful entry into Wang Rou's residence and subsequent murder will certainly not be ignored by the scholars of Jinyang City.

It's quite normal for people from the same hometown to band together for mutual support and to share a common enemy.

However, in order not to affect the operation to capture Wang Rou.

This matter will have to be delayed.

The scholars in Jinyang City must not be allowed to know the truth immediately.

This is just one of them.

There is a second point.

“I’ll leave Liu Baitu here to cooperate with you,” Duan Yu said in a low voice. “I need to know which of these gentry in Jinyang City has acted the most excessively and has the greatest prejudice against me.”

"You two stay here and make a record of these people."

Why write it down?

Of course, we'll settle accounts later.

Upon hearing the name Liu Baitu, Jia Xu's eye twitched instinctively.

The thought of Liu Baitu, with his shy smile and hands holding various 'parts' from the Xiongnu people, sent a chill down Jia Xu's spine.

Even when Liu Baitu was looking at him, he felt as if the guy had his eye on a certain part of his body.

The methods of torture and forced confession still seem to him vividly as if they had just happened when he closes his eyes.

Furthermore, you not only forced a confession, but you also took the severed parts back to "study" them.

What are you researching?

Jia Xu dared not even think about it.

Seeing the expression on Jia Xu's face, Duan Yu couldn't help but smile.

It seems we still need to find Cheng Yu. If Cheng Yu and Liu Baitu were to work together, they would be the perfect match.

After giving Jia Xu some more instructions, Duan Yu headed to the western camp under the cover of night.

.........

Inside the West Camp.

Niu Fu hadn't been happy for long after learning that Duan Yu had confiscated Wang Ji's residence.

Then I received another message.

Duan Yu's troops actually returned to the West Camp from Jinyang City.

"General, Duan Yu's troops look like they're packing up their bags and carrying provisions. They should be... they should be leaving," Hu Chi'er said.

to go?

Niu Fu's eyes darted around.

He turned his head to look at the diviner who was performing divination.

The diviner, who was performing divination, shook the withered grass and bell in his hands, then suddenly stopped what he was doing.

"How did it go? Did the divination reveal anything?" Niu Fu asked the scholar anxiously.

The diviner, dressed in a grass skirt and with his face smeared with black soot, turned to look at Niu Fu.

"General, my divination has revealed that Duan Yu is indeed going on a long journey, and it will be a very long one," the diviner said cautiously.

Niu Fu immediately stood up excitedly: "Great! Great!"

"This guy must have gotten himself into big trouble and is planning to run away."

"Now our lord will be extremely disappointed in Duan Yu."

"Haha, as long as Duan Yu leaves, I still have a chance!"

Niu Fu rubbed his hands excitedly and muttered to himself, "Miss Yi is still mine, she's mine."

"Go and collect your reward. I asked you to curse Duan Yu last time, and I didn't expect it to work so quickly. But remember, don't tell anyone about this, or you'll lose your life!" Niu Fu warned.

The diviner nodded hurriedly, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare."

The diviner stepped out of the tent.

Niu Fu glared at his subordinate Hu Chier, then made a throat-slitting gesture.

Hu Chier drew the sword from his waist and then nodded knowingly.

..........

Outside the camp.

Apart from Duan Yu's five hundred Liangzhou soldiers.

Hua Xiong, leading a cavalry force of nearly a thousand men, was waiting outside the western camp.

Upon seeing Duan Yu leading his personal guards, Hua Xiong spurred his horse forward, then bowed to Duan Yu from his horse.

"Young Master Duan, this humble general is here on the orders of our lord to lead eight hundred Flying Bear Cavalry to Young Master Duan."

Hua Xiong turned slightly, making way for the space behind him.

Under the night sky, a neat line of cavalrymen stood before the camp, exuding an air of solemnity.

Flying Bear Rider.

Duan Yu raised an eyebrow when he heard the name.

The finest cavalry in the land all came from Liang and Bing.

It refers to the elite cavalry of the land, most of whom came from Liangzhou and Bingzhou.

Among them, the Flying Bear Cavalry was the elite of the elite under Dong Zhuo's command.

It is said that the Flying Bear Cavalry numbered eight hundred.

When Lü Bu killed Ding Yuan and surrendered to Dong Zhuo, he once led this cavalry to fight against many warlords at the alliance meeting.

The eight hundred flying bears were all clad in armor and possessed superb horsemanship.

Moreover, the warhorses he rode were all top-quality horses carefully selected from Liangzhou.

This was definitely one of Dong Zhuo's elite troops.

It seems my father-in-law is really willing to invest.

The eight hundred Flying Bear Cavalry, plus his own five hundred and forty cavalry, totaled nearly one thousand five hundred.

With these cavalrymen, the problem should be largely solved.

"Thank you for your trouble, General Hua."

"Please tell my father-in-law, General Hua, that I will certainly live up to his expectations!" Duan Yu said.

Hua Xiong cupped his hands in a fist and said, "Very well, then this humble general wishes you a resounding victory!"

Duan Yu took a deep breath, then waved his hand: "Let's go!"
