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

That night.

A fire was burning inside a two-courtyard mansion in the east of Luoyang.

In a bedroom in the backyard, Ma Yuanyi's wife was sitting on the bed, holding her baby son and breastfeeding him.

After a long day of running around Luoyang, Ma Yuanyi returned to his room and sat down, looking exhausted.

"Is everything settled?" Ma Yuanyi's wife asked softly.

Sitting to the side watching his son nurse, Ma Yuanyi nodded: "It's basically all taken care of. We're just waiting for the people from the palace to come out, and then everything will be fine."

As he spoke, Ma Yuanyi reached out and touched his son's rosy cheeks.

Just before Ma Yuanyi's hand touched his son's face, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.

Ma Yuanyi's hand froze, and he looked out the window with a frown.

The noise grew louder and louder.

Ma Yuanyi suddenly got up from the bed.

"You and your son stay inside, I'll go see what's going on," Ma Yuanyi said as he walked outside.

Outside the mansion.

Yuan Shu, dressed in black armor, stood in front of the main gate of Ma Yuanyi's residence.

Several Tiger Warrior soldiers, armed with large shields and clad in armor, stood in front of and behind him.

There are three armies guarding Luoyang and the imperial city.

These were the Imperial Guards, the Northern Army, and the Tiger Warriors.

The Tiger Warriors among them were two thousand heavily armored cavalrymen led by Yuan Shu.

At this moment, Yuan Shu stood under the protection of several Tiger Warrior soldiers, one hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist, watching the Tiger Warrior soldiers who were ramming the door.

Inside the mansion, someone blocked the gate from the inside.

"Put some effort into it, none of you have eaten yet!"

"Push harder, break through!" Yuan Shu roared, frowning.

Six or seven Tiger Warrior soldiers who had charged the gate retreated again, and then charged the gate with all their might.

Apart from Yuan Shu and the dozen or so Tiger Warriors who were storming the gate of the mansion.

Ma Yuanyi's residence was completely surrounded by Tiger Legion soldiers.

The Tiger Warriors, holding torches and crossbows, aimed at the surrounding courtyard walls.

.........

Inside the mansion, Ma Yuanyi, who had just come out of the house, heard shouts coming from the courtyard.

A dozen or so people were blocking the gate of the mansion. The two gates were being rammed from the outside, making them wobbly as if they were about to be broken down at any moment.

"what happened!"

After leaving the house, Ma Yuanyi frowned and asked.

"Commander, a lot of soldiers have arrived outside!"

"what?"

Ma Yuanyi was immediately taken aback.

Soldiers?

Where did these soldiers come from?

"Listen up, you guys inside! Open the door right now, or you'll be sorry."

I heard shouting from outside.

Ma Yuanyi's eyebrows were tightly furrowed together.

Those blocking the door and those holding sticks or similar objects turned to look at Ma Yuanyi.

Seeing the gate about to be breached, Ma Yuanyi took a deep breath and said, "Open the gate, open the gate for them."

"what?"

Ma Yuanyi's men were immediately stunned: "Commander, we..."

Ma Yuanyi shook his head and said, "This is Luoyang. We can't get out here at all. Besides, we haven't committed any crimes. If they want to check us, let them check us."

"What's there to be afraid of?"

"Open the door."

Upon hearing this, the people blocking the gate slowly withdrew.

As the people blocking the door withdrew, the Tiger Legion soldiers who had been ramming the door burst in.

Outside the door, Yuan Shu waved his hand as soon as the door opened.

A large number of Tiger Warriors soldiers, dressed in armor and carrying swords and shields, poured into the mansion.

Surrounded by several soldiers carrying torches, Yuan Shu walked into the mansion with his chin raised.

"Sir, sir, we are merchants who came to Luoyang to do business, not criminals..."

Upon seeing Yuan Shu's arrogant demeanor, Ma Yuanyi was the first to step forward and explain.

They were still several steps away when the Tiger Legion soldiers reached out and stopped them.

Yuan Shu frowned and glanced at Ma Yuanyi from head to toe: "A merchant?"

Ma Yuanyi nodded quickly: "Yes, sir."

"Then tell me, what's your name, and what business are you doing in Luoyang?" Yuan Shu asked.

"Replying to your question, sir, my name is Ma Yuanyi, and I'm here to sell hemp."

"Hmph." Yuan Shu sneered: "Selling hemp?"

"I know you're here to cause trouble. I've come for you, Ma Yuanyi. Take him down!"

At Yuan Shu's command, the surrounding Tiger Warriors immediately pounced on Ma Yuanyi.

Ma Yuanyi was stunned when he heard what Yuan Shu said.

Came to find him?

Before Ma Yuanyi could react, four or five Tiger Legion soldiers had already pounced on him, and the surrounding Tiger Legion soldiers also rushed towards the people in the courtyard.

The courtyard was thrown into chaos.

Some resisted with sticks, but were quickly suppressed by the Tiger Legion soldiers.

How could the clubs in their hands possibly defeat the Tiger Warriors, who were clad in armor and wielding swords and shields?

In no time, more than a dozen people in the yard were lying on the ground groaning in pain.

Ma Yuanyi, on the other hand, shouted loudly that he was wronged.

Yuan Shu looked coldly at Ma Yuanyi and walked to Ma Yuanyi's side.

At this moment, Ma Yuanyi's shoulders were bound and his body was tied with rope.

"Search for me."

At Yuan Shu's command, the Tiger Warriors rushed into the mansion and began searching it.

Ma Yuanyi was forced to kneel on the ground, looking up at Yuan Shu: "Sir, we really are merchants, we..."

"Do you think I don't know what you do?"

Yuan Shu squinted.

The firelight reflected on his face, making his features appear somewhat distorted and deformed.

"Isn't it the Way of Peace?"

Ma Yuanyi was stunned for a moment.

"Heh heh, what's wrong? I guessed right." Yuan Shu said smugly, "You think I don't know what you're here in Luoyang for?"

Ma Yuanyi's eyes were filled with doubt and shock.

There's nothing unusual about this level of identity within the Taiping Dao.

There are more and more believers of the Way of Peace in the world today.

If one were merely a follower of the Way of Peace, one would absolutely not attract the attention of soldiers for questioning.

unless......

Someone reported it!

He revealed the purpose of his trip to Luoyang.

There is a traitor in the team!

Once he realized what was happening, Ma Yuanyi immediately scanned his surroundings.

Sure enough, they discovered that a familiar face was missing.

"Tang Zhou!"

Ma Yuanyi gritted his teeth and roared angrily.

"Huh?" Yuan Shu raised an eyebrow and said with interest, "I didn't expect you to react so quickly."

"But it seems it's too late to find out now."

Ma Yuanyi gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed on Yuan Shu.

"Reporting to the general, we have not found it."

"General, we haven't found it."

"General, we found nothing inside the house either!"

"General, there is only this mother and child in the house, and nothing else has been found."

As Yuan Shu listened to his subordinates' report, his gaze gradually turned cold.

Ma Yuanyi also saw his wife being led out of the house with their child in her arms.

Ma Yuanyi, with his lips pursed, remained silent and turned his gaze towards them.

"Speak," Yuan Shu said coldly, "Where is the Taiping Heavenly Book?"

Ma Yuanyi remained silent.

Now that they know it was Tang Zhou who betrayed him.

The person in front of him should know why he came to Luoyang.

The Book of Taiping Heaven.

It absolutely must not be handed over!

This was what the Great Teacher of Virtue personally told him when he came to Luoyang.

The Taiping Heavenly Book concerns all people under heaven.

"Good good."

"You're not going to tell, are you?"

Yuan Shu smiled and slowly drew the sword from his waist, then walked over to a man's side.

The man was forced to lie face down on the ground by the Tiger Legion soldiers.

Yuan Shu directly pressed the knife in his hand against the man's back.

"My patience is very limited. I'll ask you again, where is the Taiping Heavenly Book?" Yuan Shu said coldly.

Ma Yuanyi gritted his teeth and roared, "If you have the guts, come at me! Come at me!"

puff!

Ma Yuanyi's eyes widened instantly.

The man lying on the ground struggled and twisted in pain for a moment, then lay still.

"I have no idea what kind of heavenly book you're talking about!" Ma Yuanyi said through gritted teeth.

"hehe."

Yuan Shu sneered, "Don't you know?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Shu approached one of Ma Yuanyi's followers and stabbed him directly in the thigh.

As the knife was pulled out, blood gushing from his thigh immediately sprayed out under the torchlight.

The attendant groaned in agony on the ground, gritting his teeth.

Ma Yuanyi's brow twitched.

Yuan Shu didn't ask any questions and walked towards Ma Yuanyi's wife with a straight knife in his hand.

Then the blade was placed directly against Ma Yuanyi's wife's shoulder.

"When I strike, her head will immediately leave her neck, and blood will spurt out."

"I don't know if you've ever seen a beheading."

"That column of blood could spurt out so high."

Yuan Shu gestured with his hands.

"brute......"

"Come at me if you dare!"

Ma Yuanyi roared and struggled violently.

However, he was pinned to the ground by several Tiger Legion soldiers.

Ma Yuanyi's wife hugged the baby in her arms tightly, who was crying loudly in fright.

"Huh....."

Yuan Shu suddenly raised an eyebrow and said, "I understand, I understand!"

"No wonder we couldn't find it. Could it be... that you hid that celestial book inside this child's stomach?"

"No!"

Ma Yuanyi's wife suddenly stood up and ran backward.

"catch him!"

Yuan Shu said coldly.

Two Tiger Legion soldiers immediately seized Ma Yuanyi's wife.

Struggling on the ground, Ma Yuanyi's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Yuan Shu: "You...you...you will die a horrible death!"

"You're going to tell me or not?"

"Where is the Taiping Heavenly Book hidden?!" Yuan Shu shouted.

He reached out and snatched the baby boy from Ma Yuanyi's wife's hands.

"I said, I said!"

Ma Yuanyi could no longer bear it and looked at Yuan Shu, who was holding his son up, with a look of horror in his eyes.

"Heh." Yuan Shu sneered, "You should have said so earlier, why bother?"

"I'll haunt you even as a ghost, you beast!" Ma Yuanyi cursed through gritted teeth.
