Chapter 2:

I sighed and turned back to the fighting men. Internally wincing. I looked at Chi Fu hopelessly as he gave me a smirk and said smugly, "Day one." Oh, what I would do just to give that man a black eye.

Then I turned back to my men, walked up to them, and shouted, "Soldiers!" They all looked at me fearfully and stopped hitting each other. After a small pause of silence, they all moved back to reveal a small looking boy in armour covering his head. They all pointed at him and shouted in unison, "He started it!"

Keeping myself from rolling my eyes, I marched up to the boy and towered over him. He seemed pretty harmless but I've learned to never underestimate anyone…especially if their claimed to be trouble makers.

He peeked out from under his hand and widened his eyes when he saw me. Immediately he stood up and brushed himself off hurriedly. I went up to his face and said sternly, "I don't need anyone causing trouble in my camp."

A light tinge of pink hit his cheeks and he replied in a pitch so high, I'm not sure he's even hit puberty yet, "Sorry…" his eyes widened and he cleared his throat noisily. "Uh…" he said in a tone lower than before, clearly embarrassed, "I mean…uh…sorry you had to see that…"

He gave me a shy grin and weakly punched me in the shoulder. "But you know how it is when you get those-uh-manly urges." Did they send me little school boys instead of grown men? "And you-uh- just gotta kill something." His fist slamed into his hand and he winced shaking it lightly. "Fix things…Uh…cook outdoors…uh-"

I went up to his face once again and demanded, "What's your name?" He seemed at a loss for words and said unintelligently, "Um…I uh… I uh"

Then Chi Fu stepped in and half shouted, "Your commanding officer just asked you a question!" The boy cowered back a bit and swallowed loudly.

"I've got a name," the boy said and looked at me seriously, "and it's a boy's name too." I repeat, did they send me little school boys instead of grown men? Then the boy motioned towards one of the soldiers and mumbled, "His name is Ling." God, this kid is getting on my nerves.

"I didn't ask for his name!" I almost cried frustrated. "I asked for yours." Then he said, "Ah Chew" Ancestors please help me to not make a bloody pulp out of this boy. "Ah Chew?" I asked annoyed. Then he mumbled, "Mushu…" I raised an eyebrow as I raised my voice, "Mushu?" He looked at me alarmed and all but cried, "No!" I lost my patience then and there and shouted, "Then what is it?"

There was a small paused but he finally answered hurriedly, "It's Ping!" How hard was it to just say his name? "Ping?" I asked raising an eyebrow, praying to the ancestors that this actually was his name.

Then, the boy, threw his hand back and scratched his neck. "Yes, my name is Ping." I sighed internally. Finally. I held my hand out and said, "Let me see your conscription notice." He handed it over to me and I read it. "Fa Zhou?" I asked surprised. This boy cannot be the offspring of the great Fa Zhou. "The Fa Zhou?" I repeated.

Then Chi Fu said surprised, "I didn't know Fa Zhou had a son." I didn't think Fa Zhou would have a son like Ping.

Ping shrugged nervously and replied, "Uh…he doesn't talk about me much…" I can see why. Then Ping chuckled nervously and tried to spit on the ground, but, then he ended up having drool go to the side of his face. What kind of man can't spit on the ground? Oh wait! I know…Ping.

Chi Fu then voiced what I thought, "I can see why! The boy's an absolute lunatic." I heard the other men chuckle and then got much more upset. I started to pace around in a circle around and Ping and said, "Okay gentlemen! Thanks to your new friend Ping, you'll spend tonight picking up Every. Single. Grain of rice." and with that I strutted away to my tent. I'll need some rest if I have to train these guys.
