Zhang Xiu's cooks finished preparing the food for Cao Cao. Zhang Xiu had surrendered to Cao Cao earlier that day.

"I truly hope that you like the food our cooks made." Zhang Xiu smiled.

Cao Cao gave him a weak smile back. "It better not be nasty or I going to throw it up on this table." Cao Cao laughed.

Zhang Xiu did not think that was funny at all. He gave Cao Cao a fake smile in return. The food eventually arrived and everybody began eating. As time went by, Zhang Xiu noticed that Cao Cao took a liking to Zhang Xiu's wife Lady Zou. Lady Zou was also flirting back.

"Look at Lord Cao Cao! He has a way with women!" A troop said.

"Yeah, he's so good he got Zhang Xiu's wife flirting back." Another troop laughed.

Zhang Xiu was fuming now. He had to avenge this embarrassment right away.

"I'm going to go get some air!" Zhang Xiu blurted out. He got up and stormed out of the room.

As soon as he exited the room, he could feel tears about to come out of his eyes. He quickly wiped them away as he saw Jia Xu approaching him.

"My Lord, what were you crying about?" Jia Xu asked.

"What are you talking about? I wasn't crying about anything!" Zhang Xiu replied.

"I saw you wiping tears out of your eyes. What was that about?" Jia Xu asked.

Zhang Xiu sighed. "Cao Cao is in there flirting with my wife. Judging by the way it looks, he will have her in the bed with him tonight." He said.

Jia Xu instantly looked pissed off. "That blasted Cao Cao! Always butting his head in people's lives. We need to get rid of him." He growled.

Zhang Xiu looked at him. "You think so?" He said sniffling.

"Unless you want him to take your wife and your land, then be on his way into the sunset..." Jia Xu said.

Zhang Xiu nodded his head now. "Yes. I will not stand by and be humiliated by Cao Cao! I will take action against him tonight and kill him," Zhang Xiu growled.

"Good. Now return to that banquet and act like everything is okay." Jia Xu laughed.

(12:59 a.m.)

Cao Cao was asleep in Zhang Xiu's bed with Zhang Xiu's wife right beside him. They didn't do anything but talk all night and fall asleep. Lady Zou also agreed to be Cao Cao's concubine in the morning. Too bad Zhang Xiu had other plans. Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu, and Jia Su led a horde of troops to the castle and were hiding outside the castle.

"What was that plan of yours again?" Zhang Xiu asked.

"We are going to set this castle on fire and take Cao Cao's life and anybody else that wants to serve him." Jia Xu said.

Zhang Xiu nodded his head in agreement. He quickly turned to the crowd of soldiers.

"Alright men remember we are here for Cao Cao's head. Make sure somebody takes his life! Understood?" Zhang Xiu asked.

The troops all responded yes. Now it was time to end Cao Cao's life.

"Burn the castle to the ground!" Zhang Xiu ordered.

Fire arrows began raining down on the castle. Soon, the castle was on fire and the flames were spreading quickly. Dian Wei was awaken by the smell of flames in his sleep and grabbed his axe and ran to Cao Cao's room. He blasted through the door so loud; Cao Cao and Lady Zou jumped up out there sleep.

"My lord the castle is on fire! We gotta get the hell out of here!" Dian Wei yelled quickly.

Cao Cao frantically jumped out of the bed and grabbed his sword and ran. He didn't have anything on but boxers. But it was too late to think about clothes now.

By the time they reached the front gate, they were surrounded.

"Prepare to die Cao Cao." A General laughed raising his pike.

Before he could make contact with Cao Cao, Dian Wei quickly jumped in his way and blocked it with his axe. Dian Wei quickly slashed the general across the stomach and the general fell to the ground dead. Cao Cao watched as Dian Wei singlehandedly took out the troops that were in their way.

"Wow…This man is gladly risking his life to protect mine. I must make sure to reward him after all this is over." Cao Cao said to himself.

"My lord I think we escape over here!" Dian Wei shouted pointing towards a gate.

Meanwhile, back in the castle Lady Zou was trying to find her way out. Cao Cao had completely abandoned her and left.

"There goes my plans of being his concubine." Lady Zou said trying to find a door.

She finally found the back door and ran towards it. When she opened it, she didn't see what she hoped to see. It was Zhang Xiu.

"Dear, what happened to this castle? I was in my own room sleeping in my bed waiting for you to come home." Lady Zou lied.

Zhang Xiu began taking his sword out of its sheath. Lady Zou began getting scared.

"You wench! You weren't thinking about me at all. You just wanted to get in Cao Cao's underwear earlier. How all of a sudden you love me?" Zhang Xiu asked.

"Dear it was not what it looked like. I was just being nice to him." Lady Zou lied again.

"I loved you to death Zou! How could you do this to me? I gave you everything you wanted. I spent every bit of money I earned on you. I treated you like an empress. I never ever cheated on you and I never would." Zhang Xiu was crying now.

"Dear I'm sorry…It won't happen again." Lady Zou pleaded.

"You're damn right it won't happen again…" Zhang Xiu said taking his sword out. "You have to die now."

"Dear! I told you I was sorry but Cao Cao is rich and he…"

Before she could finish, Zhang Xiu cut her head off. He kneeled down next to her body and wept.

"I loved you to death but you'd rather have money over real love." He cried.

Zhang Xiu continued crying loudly. His chest began hurting badly and before he knew it, he started having a heart attack. He died right next to his wife.

"Hopefully we can be happy together in the next life." Were Zhang Xiu's last words before he died.

(Outside)

Dian Wei and Cao Cao continued running until they reached a corner.

"I think the exit should be right around the corner." Dian Wei said.

Cao Cao nodded and they quickly turned the corner. As they were running for the gate, multiple arrows hit Dian Wei in the back. Dian Wei screamed in pain and fell to his knees.

"I'm afraid that's where you two meet your end." A voice said behind them.

Cao Cao whirled around and saw Jia Xu standing with an archery unit.

"Aim for Cao Cao." Jia Xu instructed.

The archers fired at Cao Cao. Cao Cao didn't have enough time to move out of the way. He tensed up and waited for the impact. Nothing hit him…He opened his eyes and saw Dian Wei on the ground in front of him with arrows all over his body

"Dian Wei?" Cao Cao called softly.

"You…Have to live…My Lord…" Dian Wei choked out.

Cao Cao instantly nodded his head and turned around to run for the gate. Jia Su suddenly jumped in his way.

"Where do you think you're going?" Jia Su asked laughing.

Cao Cao swallowed hard. Jia Su didn't wait for Cao Cao to respond. He began charging towards him.

"You are going to die here today!" Jia Su laughed.

Jia Su and Cao Cao got into a death lock with their weapons. Too bad Jia Su didn't see Xiahou Dun, Guo Jia, and Xu Zhu arriving behind him as reinforcements. Xiahou Dun quickly took down Jia Su and Guo Jia took down Jia Xu.

Cao Cao finally made it back to the camp and put some proper clothes on. He instantly wanted to see Jia Xu and Jia Su. Xiahou Dun brought them to the middle of the camp and sat them down.

"And just what was the meaning of this defection?" Cao Cao asked.

"Zhang Xiu was embarrassed that you stole his wife at the banquet." Jia Xu.

Cao Cao instantly looked shocked. "That was Zhang Xiu's wife?" He asked.

"Duh!" Jia Su blurted out.

"You shut up!" Guo Jia shouted pointing his weapon at him.

After listening to Jia Xu talk, Cao Cao decided to spare them. Xiahou Dun began untying them with an attitude. He had no idea why Cao Cao spared them. He finished untying them and turned around to storm off when Cao Cao stepped in front of him.

"Problem?" Cao Cao asked raising his left eyebrow.

"Get out of my way…" Xiahou Dun growled. He pushed Cao Cao to the side and stormed to his tent.

Cao Cao watched him enter his tent.

"I can't make everybody happy…" Cao Cao chuckled as he went to his tent to go to bed.
