Out Of The Frying Pan

“What the hell happened here?” Tong Xia dismounted and led her horse through the burned and charred remains of a little village.
“Zhen Yan!” Zhen Ji turned towards the person who had used her childhood name.
“Is that… Shun Bai?” Zhen Ji jumped off her horse and landed gracefully before throwing herself into the arms of her oldest friend.
Shun Bai was rather tall, with short, coal black hair and cold blue eyes. His muscular frame was the best in the village.
As he released her, she looked around.
“Who did this?” Tong Xia asked.
“Tong Xia? Is that you?” Shun Bai was amazed. He looked her up and down, fully taking in and appreciating her beauty. Her long, soft silky auburn hair cascaded over her dark, tanned shoulders. “My god you have changed, both of you.”
“Bai, we can talk about that later. Right now I want to know who burned the village and where is my family?” Zhen Ji walked over to the remains of her parents’ house.
“Bandits came. All the villagers are up in the caves in the mountain”, as he said this he indicated to the nearby mountain.
“Lady Zhen Ji!” Zhen Ji turned at the sound of her name to see Zhang He and Yuan Shao approaching.
Zhen Ji let out a string of curses under her breath. As they rode closer the enchantress looked meaningfully at Zhang He, who could only look apologetically back.
“My lords,” she said, curtseying low, her head down. “What a pleasant surprise. Please forgive the mess, we had no idea that such nobility would be visiting.”
Yuan Shao chuckled. “It is forgiven. Now tell me,” his tone grew serious, “why did you come here?”
“We were chased my enemy soldiers, my lord,” Tong Xia spoke before Zhen Ji had even thought up an excuse. “This was the only direction we could go without them surrounding us.”
“And who are you?” Yuan Shao addressed Tong Xia with contempt.
“She is my bodyguard, Tong Xia.” Zhen Ji interrupted before the verbal exchange got out of hand. Tong Xia bowed, and Zhen Ji turned to her left. “And this is Shun Bai.”
“It is an honour to meet you, my lord.” Shun Bai bowed humbly.
“Lady Zhen, mount your horse, we’re here to escort you back to your husband.”
“That was unnecessary.” Zhen Ji said as she and Tong Xia mounted their horses and Shun Bai turned to Zhen Ji.
“Shun Bai,” Zhen Ji saw his mouth open and cut him off. “Thank you for your assistance, I shall tell Yuan Xi and he will no doubt reward you.” She gave him a meaningful look, which he seemed to understand. He bowed and said,
“Thank you, my lady.”

“What the hell happened?” Zhen Ji whispered fiercely to Zhang He. They were a bit behind the rest of the group, riding through a forest.
“They showed up just after you left. They asked if I had seen you and I said I was looking for you. I’m sorry, there was nothing I could do. I-”
Their discussion was cut short as they reached the edge of the forest, for it was then they heard the cries of enemy soldiers behind them. They tightened their holds’ on their horses’ reins, and spurred them on, increasing the speed. As they reached the gate Zhen Ji and Tong Xia stopped and dismounted.
“Retreat inside, we will stay here and fight. Send soldiers out when you get to Yuan Xi.” Zhen Ji shouted to Yuan Shao.
Tong Xia drew her rapier and ran at a crowd of soldiers dressed in blue. Zhen Ji however, waited for the horde to come to her. As two of them lunged forward she drew her intricately designed red and gold Dark Moon flute from her horse’s saddle bag and with lightning fast moves she hit the first soldier’s sword so it stabbed the second. She then whacked the first soldier in the temple, killinm inm instantly.
The soldiers formed a circle around Zhen Ji, and one by one they attacked. She deflected one soldier’s spear and simultaneously spun and kicked him, breaking his spine. She then raised her flute to her ruby red lips and blew.
The sound made all the soldiers cry out in agony and cover their ears’. But the damage had already been done. One by one the soldiers collapsed, bleeding from their ears and eyeballs, forming a circle of corpses around the enchantress. She looked up suddenly, having got the feeling she was being stared at. She was right, as her eyes locked on the young mans’.
“Such beauty,” he murmured in awe, under his breath. “Maiden,” he called to her, “Come with me. I, Cao Pi shall give you the world. My troops will not harm you.” He turned to his men. “Soldiers, retreat!” The soldiers turned and formed tight lines behind Cao Pi, who stayed, motionless, waiting for Zhen Ji to join him.
“Ha! Even if the heavens were to fall, I would never be betrayed. Come, Ji, my love. We must join our forces inside.” Everyone turned to see Yuan Xi with his hand outstretched, offered to Zhen Ji. Tong Xia was aware of the tension and ran over to Zhen Ji and her horse.
“Lady Zhen Ji, whatever you decide, I am with you.”
“Thank you Tong Xia. You are my closest friend. My only friend here.” Zhen Ji turned and studied each man in turn. “The noble lord Yuan Xi, or the ambitious Cao Pi. Only one can truly possess my heart.” She mounted her horse, as did Tong Xia. The enchantress turned and looked at Yuan Xi, and waved. Yuan Xi’s eyes widened and his jaw dropped as she led Tong Xia over to Cao Pi. “Lord Cao Pi, I have trusted your word and have come to be at your side.”
“What, Zhen Ji, you will pay for this blatantly treacherous act. No one betrays the Yuan family!!” And with that, he turned and retreated in to the fort.
Zhen Ji turned to Cao Pi. “When you captuim, im, don’t kill him, bring him to me.”
“As you wish, fair maiden. My bodyguards will escort you back to the camp. But why do you want him alive?”
“We have a lot of history.” Was Zhen Ji’s emotionless reply as she was led away by Cao Pi’s bodyguards.

PS: If you have the DW4 game, Zhen Ji curtseys the way Zhang He does in the Yuan Shao’s forces in the game when he says, “… is the job of a loyal Han retainer.” Before Yuan Shao goes on about blood.
