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

Yuan Shu's residence.

After spending the night at the mansion, Yuan Shu woke up in the morning and left the city.

Although he said he wasn't afraid or didn't care, Yuan Shu was still very afraid of his uncle Yuan Kui if he were ever discovered.

So when he woke up in the morning, he didn't dare to linger in the gentle embrace of women, but instead left the city early in the morning.

The inner quarters.

Hongchan returned from the East Market carrying a basket.

She changed her clothes into those of an ordinary maid in the mansion.

Upon seeing that it was Hong Chan, the guards at the small gate in the back courtyard opened the gate without saying anything and let her pass.

Hongchan smiled slightly at the two guards and then took out two packets of candied fruit from the basket.

"Brothers, these are candied fruits that I specially brought from the East Market for you. Please take them and have a taste. It's just a small token of my appreciation."

"Hehe, how could I possibly keep eating Miss Hongchan's food?"

The two guards were polite in words, but their actions spoke volumes.

Although he was just a guard at the back gate, he wasn't as sought-after as the gatekeeper.

However, the maids and servants in the inner quarters of this mansion always had to offer some tribute in order to enter and exit smoothly.

The two guards had gotten used to it.

Moreover, Hongchan was a favored maid of Yuan Shu.

The two naturally exchanged pleasantries.

Hong Chan smiled slightly and said, "I feel bad for troubling you two so often."

"Please go ahead with your business, I'll go in first."

The guards were overjoyed and allowed passage.

Hongchan, carrying a basket, entered the inner courtyard through a small door.

The inner quarters were mostly where maids and servants lived.

After returning to the mansion through the back door, Hongchan headed towards her residence.

However, before they even reached their lodgings, they encountered a maid.

"Oh, Sister Chan'er, you're here." The maid suddenly spoke up.

Just as Hongchan was about to greet them, she heard a maid coming towards her say, "A few people from the front courtyard were looking for you."

"Looking for me?" Hong Chan was slightly taken aback.

"Is that a general?"

Hong Chan asked.

The maid shook her head and pointed behind her to where Hongchan lived, saying, "There are some guards there. I don't know if they are guards under the general's command. They..."

Before the maid could finish speaking, a man dressed in black, leading a group of four guards with swords at their waists, walked out from the separate courtyard where the maids lived in the inner quarters.

From a distance of more than ten meters, Hongchan saw several guards, and the guards who came out of the courtyard also saw Hongchan.

"Sister Chan'er, it's them..."

Hong Chan looked at the guards in the distance, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat, but her expression remained unchanged.

The lead guard, with one hand on the sword at his waist, walked towards Hong Chan.

"Your name is Hongchan?" the lead guard in black asked.

"It is indeed this servant, gentlemen..."

"Take it!"

Before Hong Chan could finish speaking, the leader of the black-clad guards waved his sleeve.

Four guards immediately stepped forward.

Hong Chan's gaze sharpened.

exposed!

The next second, Hongchan's hand went straight into the wide red sleeve.

brush!

With a flash of cold light, a sharp dagger slipped from Hong Chan's sleeve.

A guard, unable to react in time, was struck in the throat by a dagger, clutching his throat and collapsing to the ground with wide eyes.

"court death!"

The leader of the black-clad guards shouted and drew his sword from his waist.

"Disability doesn't matter, they have to be alive!"

After a furious shout, the head guard stepped forward, brandishing his sword.

Hongchan threw the bamboo basket in her hand, then turned and ran away quickly and cleanly.

The maid, unaware of what had happened, was still completely stunned.

She only let out a scream after being startled by the painful groan of the guard lying on the ground beside her and turning around.

Hongchan's figure had already quickly headed straight for the small gate in the backyard.

There were two guards both inside and outside the small gate in the backyard.

The guards who had just seen Hongchan come in didn't know what had happened, but when they turned around, they saw Hongchan running towards them at top speed.

But soon, the black-clad leader chasing behind Hong Chan shouted loudly:

"Stop her! She's a suicide spy!"

Dead agents!

The two guards were also taken aback when they heard the sound.

They had seen the cicada more than once.

We had frequent contact before.

Every time Hongchan went out and came back, she would often bring them some food.

In addition, Hongchan was beautiful and was a favored maid of Yuan Shu, so she naturally left a deep impression on him.

It was a suicide spy!

The two guards, realizing what was happening, immediately raised their spears and aimed them at Hong Chan.

At this moment, Hongchan's gaze was resolute, a far cry from her usual gentle and charming demeanor.

Just as the two guards raised their spears and aimed them at Hongchan, Hongchan also raised her sleeves.

Search!

Another sound.

The hidden darts in the sleeves shot out.

A needle, about the length of an index finger, shot out from the torn sleeve.

Caught off guard, a guard was pinned between the eyebrows and fell to the ground with a scream.

The other guard was startled.

As Hongchan raised her other sleeve, the guard immediately covered his head and crouched down on the ground.

But this time, no hidden arrow was fired.

With her arm down, Hongchan rushed toward the back door, kicked open the bolt, and then rolled out through the open door with a forward roll.

Outside the back door, two soldiers holding spears hadn't even reacted before Hongchan rolled past them.

"waste!"

The leader of the black-clad guards cursed loudly.

The guards who were crouching on the ground with their heads in their hands inside the door realized that they had been tricked.

"Chase me!"

The leader of the black-clad guards roared, "If she escapes today, none of you will survive!"

The guard was startled, then quickly got up and chased after him.

The guards outside the door also followed after them.

More than a dozen guards armed with weapons rushed out from the back of the mansion and chased after Hong Chan in the direction she had fled.

The people walking on the street were instantly frightened by what they saw and scattered to the sides of the road.

"Get out of the way, all of you, get out of the way!"

"Step aside!"

The guards shouted loudly.

Hongchan lifted her skirt with one hand and fled quickly, frowning as she glanced back before pursing her lips tightly.

Not far from the back of Yuan Shu's residence, a young man who looked not very old was squatting by the roadside begging. After seeing this scene, he quickly stood up, picked up the broken pottery bowl in front of him, and turned and disappeared into the alley.

.............

In front of Duan Liuqing's residence in Buguangli.

The young beggar who had just been in the back courtyard of Yuan Shu's mansion looked around and, seeing that no one was around, knocked on the gate.

The sound was three long and two short.

Soon, Duan Liuqing, disguised as an ordinary girl, pushed open the courtyard gate.

Upon seeing that it was a young man, Duan Liuqing stepped aside and let the young man enter the courtyard.

"Red Cicada has been exposed and is currently being hunted down."

After entering the courtyard, the young man spoke to Duan Liuqing.

"what!"

Duan Liuqing was startled.

Hongchan has been lurking in Yuan Shu's residence for a long time and often sends him extremely useful intelligence.

How did it suddenly get exposed?

Duan Liuqing frowned.

"Immediately organize a rescue operation; we absolutely cannot let Hongchan fall into their hands..."

At this point, a resolute look appeared on Duan Liuqing's face as he said, "If we can't rescue her, then... we can't let her live."

Hongchan knows too much.

If Hongchan is captured and reveals anything, it will be a disaster for the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Because of Hongchan's high status, she knew the locations where most of the military intelligence agencies in Luoyang transmitted information.

At this moment, Liu Baitu's words seemed to echo in Duan Liuqing's ears once again.

As an intelligence officer.

At all times, confidentiality should be the top priority.

You must be ruthless to yourself and ruthless to your enemies; when necessary, you must show no mercy to anyone.

"Let's take action."

Duan Liuqing waved his sleeve, then turned and went into the room, where he changed into a set of black clothes and put on a mask.
