Chapter 39: Trouble at the door, Ma San's revenge

What is a local faction?

Just look at the subordinates around the warlords after the chaos of the Eastern Han Dynasty to know what a local faction is.

Li Jue and Guo Si, Hua Xiong and Niu Fu under Dong Zhuo.

The Xiahou clan, Li Dian, and Le Jin under Cao Cao.

And the generals under Sun Jian.

Including Liu Bei's sworn brother Zhang Fei.

These people were either disciples from the same commandery or disciples from the same clan.

The Yingchuan aristocratic clan, the Guanzhong aristocratic clan, the Yizhou aristocratic clan.

These groups that huddled together for warmth, advancing and retreating together, were all called local factions.

He didn't have the ambition to compete for the world now.

Nor did he have the strength to compete for the world.

But a good man needs three helpers.

To gain a foothold in this village, to fight for a reputation.

First, he had to win over a group of people.

No one believes in you, no one helps you.

Even in this small village, you will still be squeezed out.

He goes hunting in the mountains, leaving for a whole day.

There must always be someone to take care of the house.

It had only been two days, and so many things had happened.

If he was up in the mountains and not at home, and local bullies like Ma San came to the door, what would Diao Chan do?

If a great disaster occurred, even if he killed these people like Ma San later, what would it matter?

Or what if Diao Chan was taken away by people from the Taiyuan Wang clan?

Could he fight the Taiyuan Wang clan alone now?

Definitely not.

Therefore, he needed helpers.

"Chan'er, do you know why I didn't agree when the three elders invited me to become the village patrol officer yesterday?"

Duan Yu pondered and said: "Because my foothold is not yet stable, even if I became the village patrol officer, no one would support or cooperate with me."

"But if all the young men in the village believe in me, and their families have also received my favor, then when I serve as the patrol officer, it will be twice the result with half the effort."

"I take Stone and the others into the mountains to hunt, let them eat here, which is equivalent to giving them favor."

"They received my favor, which is equivalent to their families also receiving my favor."

"Their families and relatives."

"And friends."

"These people will all gather around me."

"In this way, I have gained a foothold in the village."

"Alright Chan'er, you tidy up first, I need to continue training my archery."

Duan Yu gently stroked Diao Chan's cheek, then walked towards the courtyard.

Diao Chan's beautiful eyes watched Duan Yu's back.

She was extremely shocked in her heart.

"So... my husband has such ambitions..."

Putting down the rice bowl in her hand, Diao Chan wiped her hands on the apron in front of her.

"Although I cannot help my husband, I must never hold him back."

"My husband has great ambitions, naturally he must have descendants with great ambitions..."

"I..."

"I want to continue the family line for my husband."

Diao Chan thought while walking into the room.

Ren was still lying on the sickbed, but her complexion was much better.

Especially after hearing that Duan Yu went to the city today to sell yesterday's prey for ten gold, and added to the household, and bought an ox and a cart, her mood was much better.

"Aunt."

Diao Chan came to Ren's sickbed.

"Chan'er." Ren held the hand Diao Chan handed over.

Diao Chan pursed her lips, then whispered a few words in Ren's ear.

Immediately, a smile appeared on Ren's face.

Then she nodded and said: "It should be so, it should be so."

"Continuing the family line for a man is what should be done, Chan'er, Aunt will teach you..."

The small courtyard outside.

The moonlight was cold.

Duan Yu changed into a black tight-fitting robe.

There was only one set of camouflage clothes, and he couldn't wear them every day.

But Duan Yu wasn't used to wearing this robe, and it wasn't very convenient for movement.

During the day in Jinyang, he had already ordered several sets of clothes at a clothing shop.

They were customized according to the style of later generations' tops, trousers, and underwear.

Picking up a long bow, Duan Yu began to pull it empty.

Besides that powerful bow, he also purchased ten ordinary long bows, which were used for daily training.

【Ding, 【Tenfold Trait】 has taken effect, host pulls the bow once, effect increased tenfold, congratulations to the host for obtaining experience +1.】

After adding the strength trait, Duan Yu felt it was easier to open the ordinary long bow in his hand.

So the speed of pulling the bow was extremely fast.

In his mind, the sound of dense experience increase kept ringing.

Under the moonlight, one could only see the afterimage of Duan Yu pulling the bow and the whistling wind.

Not long after, the long bow in his hand made a tooth-aching sound, followed by a 'bang'.

The bowstring snapped.

A brand-new long bow worth three hundred coins was directly scrapped in Duan Yu's hand.

"Nine hundred."

Duan Yu frowned at the long bow in his hand.

This new ordinary long bow was scrapped after only nine hundred pulls.

And now the experience needed to upgrade the trait was ten thousand. ===== CHAPTER 41 =====
