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

Under the cover of night, outside the study in the front residence of the Situ family.

After disbanding the Tiger Warriors, Yuan Shu, accompanied by his household guards from the Situ Mansion, was escorting Ma Yuanyi toward Yuan Wei's study.

Lanterns were hung all around the corridor in the distance.

Yuan Shu, clad in armor, strode ahead with a smug air.

Two maids carrying lanterns led the way for Yuan Shu.

Just as Yuan Shu and Ma Yuanyi were about to arrive at the front of the study.

Suddenly, one of the maids leading the way cried out and fell to the ground.

Yuan Shu, who was walking, almost tripped.

"How do you walk? Are you blind?" Yuan Shu scolded, looking down at the ground.

The maidservant quickly knelt down to the side, and finally looked up at Yuan Shu with a pitiful expression before bowing her head and admitting her mistake.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, young master, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong..."

"what?"

Yuan Shu let out a soft "hmm," then raised an eyebrow.

“Raise your head,” Yuan Shu said.

Hongchan, who was kneeling on the ground, raised her head, but her eyes were lowered.

"Hey, you're quite good-looking. I feel like I've seen you somewhere before," Yuan Shu suddenly asked.

"Replying to...replying to young master, I met you once in the main hall around noon," Hongchan replied timidly.

"Oh, I told you so."

Yuan Shu nodded, then bent down and reached out to lift Hong Chan's chin.

After seeing Hongchan's appearance clearly by the light of the lamp, his smile widened.

"Not bad, not bad, she is indeed very pretty. It's a pity that she's a lowly maid."

"Here's what you'll do: go tell the steward that I've taken a liking to you and that you'll come to my residence tomorrow."

Yuan Shu released his grip and said, "Get up."

"Thank you, young master, thank you, young master." Hongchan stood up and quickly bowed, saying, "But... but this servant is clumsy and afraid that I will not be able to serve you well."

"You're quite the smooth talker, not bad, I like it." Yuan Shu reached out and touched Hong Chan's face, saying, "Go, come to my residence tomorrow."

After saying this, Yuan Shu strode towards Yuan Wei's study.

After glancing at the door to the study and the guards standing around it, Hongchan turned back with her lantern in hand.

Just as Hongchan turned around and walked a few steps, a young servant found her.

"Where have you run off to, you servant? The head steward is still looking for you and has already lost his temper. If you don't go now, you'll be in for a world of hurt tomorrow." The servant frowned as he looked at Hongchan.

Hongchan nodded and said, "This servant will go right away."

"Hurry up, the head butler asked me to take you there."

After speaking, the attendant walked ahead of Hongchan to lead the way.

Before long, Hongchan, led by a servant, arrived at the gatehouse where the head steward lived.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

"come in."

The butler's voice could be heard from inside the house.

Hongchan, carrying a lantern, entered the head steward's room.

At this moment, the head steward was lying on his side on the couch, and a maid was massaging his legs.

Upon seeing that it was Hong Chan who entered, the head steward squinted and sat up from the couch, tightening the robe he was wearing.

"You little slut, you seem quite clever, but I didn't expect you to be so clueless." The head steward said in a high-pitched voice, "Didn't I tell you to come? What, do I have to invite you?"

Honglian lowered her eyes, bowed, and said, "This servant knows her mistake, but... but... this servant was serving the young master just now, and the young master said that he wanted me to tell the steward that he wanted me to go to the young master's residence tomorrow."

Ok?

The head steward was immediately taken aback: "Young Master? Which Young Master?"

"It's...it's that young master who was in the main hall of the house at noon..."

hiss.

The head butler frowned and waved his hand helplessly: "Go, go, go, go do what you need to do."

...........

Inside Yuan Wei's study.

Yuan Wei, holding an oil lamp in one hand, was looking down at a book inside an open yellow package in front of him.

"But if we follow the way of heaven and earth and do not lose even the slightest bit, then we can establish our will for peace."

"Humph."

Yuan Wei snorted coldly, forcefully slammed the Taiping Heavenly Book shut in front of him, and looked at Ma Yuanyi, saying, "A bunch of ants trying to presume to discuss national affairs, what a joke."

Kneeling on the ground, Ma Yuanyi raised his head indignantly and looked at Yuan Wei: "The Great Teacher is a man who saves the world and the people."

"Superior to you Confucian scholars!"

Ma Yuanyi forcefully straightened his neck and said, "The world is in such a terrible state, have you so-called Confucian scholars ever even glanced at the suffering of the common people!"

"Besides fighting for power with the eunuchs, none of you have gone to see the people in the countryside!"

“You are born noble, while the common people are born lowly.”

“You have been born into a life of luxury.”

"The common people, from birth to death, are like roadside weeds; they know nothing of birth, illness, old age, or death!"

"Has anyone truly looked upon the people of the world? Only the Great Teacher of Virtue!"

"Outrageous!" Yuan Wei angrily slammed the table in front of him.

Ma Yuanyi's eyes reflected the firelight of the oil lamp held by Yuan Kui, as if they were filled with anger.

"How could a nobody like an ant know what worldly affairs are?"

Seemingly realizing he had become angry, Yuan Wei took a deep breath and slowly closed the so-called Taiping Heavenly Book in front of him.

"I don't have time to waste my breath on you," Yuan Wei said after adjusting his mindset. "You just need to do as I say, and your wife and your son will live."

"What do you want me to say?" Ma Yuanyi frowned.

Yuan Wei narrowed his eyes and said, "Tell the people who are interrogating you that Zhang Jiao is trying to unite the people and start a rebellion."

"And you came to Luoyang to prepare to support Zhang Jiao's rebellion."

"impossible!"

No sooner had Yuan Wei finished speaking than Ma Yuanyi loudly retorted, "The Great Teacher of Virtue is here to save all the people of the world, to present the Book of Great Peace to His Majesty for governing the country and saving the people, not to rebel!"

"What I say is right, and what you say doesn't count!" Yuan Wei squinted at Ma Yuanyi and said, "Unless you don't want your wife and children to live."

"Pooh!"

Bound up, Ma Yuanyi turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood, saying, "Don't even think about it!"

Even if you kill me, even if you kill your whole family, I will not say that!

"The Great Teacher never thought of rebelling!"

"Don't even think about falsely accusing the Great Teacher of Rebellion!"

"My life, and the lives of my whole family, were given to me by the Great Teacher."

"Without a great and virtuous teacher, I would have starved to death on the roadside long ago, and I would not have a wife, children and elderly parents."

"You want me to slander the Great Teacher of Virtue? Don't even think about it!" Ma Yuanyi gritted his teeth and glared at Yuan Wei.

Yuan Wei's eyes, which resembled those of an old wolf, were gleaming with a cold light.

"Drag him out and cut off his tongue."
