Chapter 15: Songstress
"What?! I can't believe this!! Ho-How can Lu Bu lose to a puny insect!" Dong Zhuo cursed as Diao Chan simply looked at him, not really paying much attention to what the old man was constantly babbling about. "Diao Chan!!" the commander exclaimed angrily.
"Y-Yes? What is it my lord?" the songstress stammered hence she was roughly pulled so that she was now face to face with Dong Zhuo and it wasn't at all pleasant. At first, the woman tried to free herself from the man's firm grasp but he only held her tighter as she tried to struggle further "My lord? Shouldn't you send me to battle now?" she muttered hoping that Dong Zhuo would stop molesting her.
"This can't be happening I cannot lose to that blasted Wu commander and that pathetic old strategist Zhuge Liang!!!"
"My lord please get a hold of yourself!" Diao Chan pleaded, "You still have me my lord, and I am more than enough to stop the allied forces..." she continued
"Grr...Very well suit yourself Diao Chan!" Dong Zhuo finally agreed to her initiative "Start with that Shu general Zhao Zi-zi whatever that brats name is-for all I care!"
"His name is Zhao Zilong...my lord" The woman corrected as she mounted on a silver stallion followed by her own female militia "I will be on my way the" she continued as she rode off not wanting to hear any more of the old mans unvarying cursing.
"Damn that Diao Chan! She thinks she's so smart" Dong Zhuo cursed under his breath "You there!" he called to a certain someone hiding in the shadows "I want you to spy on her. If she dares try to defect kill her!" he exclaimed as the man simply replied with a growling sound
~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
At that same moment Diao Chan had heard that Zhao Yun's troops had been spotted along south of their encampment so without second thoughts she decided to assault the enemy general from that point.
"Mistress! Do you think we have a chance?" one of her female guards asked
"I highly doubt it" the songstress begun "Dong Zhuo doesn't see it, but he had already lost when Lu Bu had fallen!"
"Mistress, then why do you continue to fight?" another questioned
"I do not know...at first I thought I was fighting for those whom I love..."
"Lord Lu Bu?"
Diao Chan smiled "I guess. Ever since, Lu Bu and I had met we became somewhat like brother and sister. Believe it or not, he would always comfort me especially when Dong Zhuo would take advantage of me beforehand. You might say that he was very overprotected of me. But He was the sole reason I continued to fight under Dong Zhuo...but now-"
"My lady why don't you and Lord Lu Bu just defect?"
"That would be simpler but literally Lu Bu is still Dong Zhuo's son. He had taken care of my Lord like any father would and as any ordinary son; he is to be well devoted to his father. It had been after all a tradition ever since." She explained when she suddenly pulled the rein of her stallion, which stopped almost immediately.
"....I didn't expect to see you here instead...Lord Jiang Wei of Shu" she muttered as she glanced at the interloper.
Jiang Wei chuckled "You must probably expected Zilong instead"
"Yes, that is true" the woman sighed as her female guards took a defensive stance in front of her. "Would you duel with me then, my lord?"
"I would if I have too" the spear general replied as the songstress dismounted her steed gracefully as Zhang He would put it.
Diao Chan then glanced at her opponent and bowed her head as a simple gesture "Then I will be honored" she said meekly before raising her 'diva' and readying herself for the upcoming duel.
"Jiang Wei!!! Airen!!" a woman's voice cried from afar halting the supposed duel. Diao Chan put down her weapon as she caught sight of Zhen Ji of Wei. She then glanced back at Jiang Wei who on the other hand seemed to be completely clueless on the sudden intrusion
"You're mistress is coming" Diao Chan chuckled
"Sh-she is not my mistress" the spear general replied defensively.
"But she called you airen-doesn't that mean lover?"
"I-it does b-but-" Jiang Wei stuttered, as he felt himself suddenly embarrassed in front of the woman.
Diao Chan giggled and so did her female guards. She had heard that Jiang Wei was a simple and naïve officer but she never thought he would be this innocent. "La-Lady Diao Chan can we drop the subject?" the spear general stuttered but again he was interrupted when the Wei officer hugged him from behind, causing him to tense a bit.
"Airen? Is this woman bothering you?" Zhen Ji said in her most seductive voice
"Iie. We were gonna have a duel but you came" he smiled innocently
"Oh, why don't you just let Zilong fight her? Ne songstress?" she murmured, as Diao Chan simply nodded not wanting to interrupt their precious moment.
"Some time to flirt?!" Shang Xiang interrupted from behind as Zhen Ji glared daggers at her in reply.
"Stop it both of you!!" Lu Xun exclaimed
"Yes indeed, whores are annoying" Zhang He continued brushing a few strands of his hair.
"How dare you call me a whore you FAG!!!" Zhen Ji exclaimed and Diao Chan and her troops simply watched as the group made a scene
"I can't believe this!!" Zilong exclaimed as he dismounted a mare, "Zhang He! Zhen Ji why don't you 2 stop arguing for the while and report to Lord Liu Bei!" he exclaimed. The 2 protested at first but decided for the best and agreed to the officers demands.
"Lady Sun, Lu Xun you 2 can stand guard, and wait for Sun Ce and the others" he continued as the 2 plainly nodded.
Diao Chan smiled when the group had finally gone leaving only Zilong and Jiang Wei with her "I'm impressed on how you can actually make them follow you" she said
Jiang Wei grinned, "Zhao Yun had a charisma if you'd put it in a way"
"Jiang Wei! Keep your opinions to yourself!" the spear general snorted
"I believe he does-the great tiger general of Shu" the songstress smiled "It would be my honor to battle with you my lord"
Zhao Yun smiled at the complement "Lady Diao Chan...but I- I do not wish to fight you" he said softly as he put down his spear, Jiang Wei simply glanced at him but said nothing since he too felt the same pity for the woman
"Why is that? Am I not your enemy?"
"We all know that you are only forced to subdue to Dong Zhuo. There is no reason for you to fight"
"You are wrong, I fight to-to protect the ones I love"
"You love that fat pig?" Zhao Yun snorted
Diao Chan blushed but was slightly amused on how the spear general had reacted "No not to that so called pig of yours but my brother"
"You have a brother?" Jaing Wei asked
"Lu Bu, You might say I do think of him as one!" she replied innocently as Zhao Yun Approached her. She didn't resist and neither did her army as they simply let him make his move on her. They after all knew the Zhao Yun would never hurt their lady.
"Diao Chan!!!! I knew you were a traitor! Dong Zhuo was right to send me to kill you?" a man suddenly stormed out of the bushes.
"Meng Huo!!?" Diao Chan exclaimed as she glanced at the man who jumped at her, his claws aiming directly at her lithe body, she tried to defend herself as metal clashed against metal but it ended when the Nanman king overtook her power sending her 2 rods flying to the air.
"Now you DIE!!!" he exclaimed as Diao Chan closed her eyes hoping it to be a quick end for a defector as herself. There was a deafening sound of flesh against metal but as Diao Chan opened her eyes she had realized that Zhao Yun had been in front of her, Meng Huo's sharp claws burying itself in the man's left arm instead.
"Damn you!!" the nanman shouted as he stuck the blade deeper in the flesh making the Shu general cringe and cry out of pain.
"Zhao Yun!!" Jiang Wei exclaimed as he lunged at the enemy commander and because the Nanman king was to preoccupied with the other he didn't realized the sharp spear pierce him from behind. He glanced over at the intruder but wasn't able to do anything further as he lied on the ground dead.
"Zilong!" the spear general exclaimed as he noticed his friend in Diao Chan's arms.
"Lo-Lord Zilong" the songstress cried as she ripped a large part of her skirt and wrapped it along the wound. Zilong flinched at the intact but decided to keep still for the moment. "I-I'm sorry this was all my fault," she cried but the Shu general plainly snorted
"It isn't your fault, Lady Chan. Besides someone seem to be enjoying the attention!" Jiang Wei joked as his companion glared daggers at him "Um...so how bad is it?"
"It's deep, but he'll live. Though it would be best if we brought him to a real medic" she explained as she wrapped her arms around him as if trying to comfort him.
"Ooh! Someone's really REALLY liking it" Jiang Wei smirked as he realized the spear general blush get deeper by the minute.
"Lady Chan, why don't we head for our camp"
"But I am-"
"You helped Zilong that's reason enough! Besides I'm sure HE would appreciate that too! And you are more than welcome to join us anytime milady" Jiang Wei cut her off as she smiled and plainly nodded "You and Zhao Yun can share a stallion. I'll take another if that's fine" he continued as the woman nodded in reply. She then helped Zhao Yun get on the steed first and soon followed taking her place behind the wounded officer.
Jiang Wei couldn't help but grin as he noticed how tense and red the tiger general was turning out to be. I mean who wouldn't when someone as pretty as the songstress is sitting right behind you, with arm around your waist?
~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
"Zhou Yu! Look!" Xiao Qiao exclaimed as she spotted Sun Ce and her sister talking with both Lu Xun and Sun Shang Xiang.
"Well Well Well if it isn't the 2 love birds" Sun Ce grinned, "Ya ready Zhou Yu?"
"Yes! So Any reports so far?"
Lu Xun nodded "We got Diao Chan to defect. She along with Lord Jiang Wei took Lo-Lord Zhao Yun back to the base though. He was badly injured" the boy explained.
"Aww. Don't worry Lu Xun! He'll be fine!!" Xiao assured
"Why would I care if he's injured?" the Wu strategist replied rather defensively as the Qiao sister grinned to themselves "Stop it both of you!! You have very green minds!!" he continued noticing how the sisters looked at him.
"Cute, Lu Xun's all worried, and blushing ne, Mei Mei?" Da smirked as her younger sister giggled.
Zhou Yu smiled "All right we'll teach that Dong Zhuo a lesson or 2 for even laying a finger on my Qiao"
"Ooh very possessive aren't we?" Shang Xiang grinned as Xiao Qiao blushed but quickly dismissed the topic as the group quickly took their leave and rushed to the only remaining adversary, Dong Zhuo himself.
~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
Meanwhile Gan Ning's ship had finally made its way on shore. The former pirate had ordered his men to stay behind just in case, leaving him and Cobra to make their move on Dong Zhuo.
"So this is the end huh?" Gan Ning smirked as the woman plainly shrugged "So tell me the story earlier, you know about that girl?"
"What about?" Cobra questioned when the former pirate took a change to cup her chin; it was a wonder that the woman didn't slap him. Actually the brunette simply let him do as he pleased.
"That girl was you wasn't it?" he murmured, with that cheeky grin
"What if?" Cobra asked a bit flushed
"You still owe me!"
"I told you I don't owe you-ack" she protested but was cut off when Gan Ning kissed her forcefully. Cobra sighed, true, she did owe him for saving her once upon a time, so she simply kissed back, allowing him to dominate her.
Gan Ning pulled away "That was good!" he remarked as the brunette plainly rolled her eyes "Maybe next time we can do it on the bed" he grinned only to be slapped really hard.
"Don't push your luck!!" Cobra snorted as she glanced at her fallen companion and for once actually smiled for him.....
