The Third Visit

Chapter 2
Yue Ying knew her husband had been anxiously awaiting this third visit. From within their humble dwelling she could hear the two bearded men outside arguing on why they needed a strategist. With a smile, she went back to washing dishes.
Zhang Liang’s words had been like a prophecy from the heavens. War had broken out within weeks of their marriage. That was when Liu Bei had made his first visit, for advice on how to stop the Yellow Tur. Li. Liu Bei had spoken of virtue and the people. Privately, her husband had scoffed, but in the presence of such a battle-hardened lord he had given him that oh so familiar smile that she had grown accustomed to long ago. The second visit had gone much the same. Her husband gave advice, and smiled, while the lord listened humbly.
This time would be different though. Her husband had explained things to her. The other two times he had sent Liu Bei off just to see if the general would have the strength of arms to defeat his enemies. Now, her husband knew that Liu Bei was the man that they would align themselves with.
“As your strategist, I shall guide you to destiny.” Her husband’s voice drifted to her.
Yue Ying walked into the next room, a smile lighting her face. “So we go to war, husband?”
“Yes, Ying. You must help me prepare my scrolls.” He waved the fan at her.
“This is your wife?” Liu Bei’s eyes widened.
“Yes. This is Yue Ying.”
Liu Bei smiled. “It is a pleasure to meet you Lady Yue. You must forgive me, it’s just that I thought your husband was single.”
*You wouldn't think so if Liang hadn't virtually hidden me when you came to visit. * She glared at her husband. *But he claims that he would seem a more attractive addition to Liu Bei if he didn't have a wife. I guess I can forgive him. *
“She was away on your previous visits acquiring an old scroll.” At Liu Bei’s raised eyebrow, her husband added. “Ying is known for her abilities in strategies. She is somewhat of a protégée of mine.”
“A woman?”
“Just because I’m a woman doesn’t make my mind any less sharp than a man’s.” Ying smiled at them.
“She has a tongue on her.” Zhuge Liang laughed “But she is right, my lord. Beyond her ability to plan, she is incredibly skilled in the use of her scythe. I believe she would make a good addition to your army.”
“But women do not fight in war.” At Ying’s cough, Liu Bei turned to her. “No offense Lady Yue, but in a battle you could be wounded. It is very different from a practice field.
“I believe Lady Sun Shang Xiang was at all of the previous battles you fought, sire.” Liu Bei’s face flushed crimson. “But, if that is your belief, then send one of your officers against me. If I am defeated, then I will gladly stay behind.” Ying clutched one hand to her chest, trying to appear as harmless as possible. *He has to let me try. * She watched the indecision war on his face. “Please do not dismiss me without seeing what I can do.”
Liu Bei nodded slowly. “Come, you shall fight Zhang Fei’s second in command.”
Yue Ying smiled. The man would be no match for her. Her destiny was upon her.
