ELEVENTH DAY
Dear Ma Dai,
This is an intriguing piece of information. Though I suggest you lay off the wine for now.
Lord Liushan was in his chambers the whole time; he couldn't have had come to Ma Chao and Xu Shu's aid.
Dear Jiang Wei,
What do you mean you were captured by Wu?
Why are you even across the border?
Dear Jia Xu,
I will be more than honoured to visit. I'm sure master Guo Jia will be pleased as well.
If he is conscious by the time I arrive there, that is.
No, I'm not busy. I was just out of town, actually.
Dear Jiang Wei,
Hold on tight, I'll be asking Zhou Yu for your release.
Dear Zhou Yu,
Attached to this letter is a bottle of aphrodisiac made by Guo Jia.
I'll send more if you promise to release Jiang Wei.
Dear Jiang Wei,
No need to thank me. I have my… ways.
Just don't stray that far away; why did you even leave in the first place?
Dear Jiang Wei,
Oh, right. Xu Shu.
Anyways, you are relieved of your duties. Ma Dai has already retrieved Xu Shu.
Go get a drink or something.
Dear Zhuge Liang,
No, I'm fine.
I do not want to join your little fiasco. I'd rather answer these letters, thank you very much.
Dear Liu Bei,
I am honoured that you want me to partake in your merry making, my lord.
But I am fine as is; I assure you. I have also already told Zhuge Liang about my distaste in joining your 'fun'.
Dear Guan Ping,
Please go back; can't you two do your business in your rooms or something?
Xingcai's brother is furious at your sudden 'absence'
Dear Guan Ping,
What do you mean the only bed for you is lord Liushan's?
Unbelievable! You've just as good beddings as the young lord!
Dear Liushan,
Would you kindly give your bed in exchange for Guan Ping's?
I would highly appreciate it, my lord.
Dear Guan Ping,
I've switched your beddings with lord Liushan's.
There, happy?
Now just get back here with Xingcai.
