The Empire Long United chapter 4
Scattered: The fate of Shu's Warriors
Liu Fan arrived at Jian Ye to a mob of villagers. 'All hail the Son of Heaven! Long live the Emperor!' They yelled. Liu Fan smiled and waved as he rode by. 'Get over yourself.' Yue Mei said. 'I was only waving.' He said. Yue Mei sighed. 'Do you know how to use a sword?' She asked. 'Well, not really. My father never thought that a rebellion would spring up, so he never thought about training.' Yue Mei shook her head in exasperation. 'Well, it's a time of war now. During the Era of the Four Kingdoms, the emperors didn't sit idly on their thrones while the generals did all the fighting. They were out there on the battlefield.' She said. 'And what are you getting?' Liu Fan asked as Yue Mei stopped the horse infront of the palace. 'Are you asking me to learn how to fight and go into battle against Ji Jia?' Liu Fan said dismounting and following Yue Mei. Yue Mei sighed again and wheeled around to face him. 'I'm not asking you. I'm telling you! Your generals won't always be there to save you. Had I not showed up in Xiang Yang, the house of Shu-Han would've died there!' She said. Liu Fan looked down, trying to avoid her piercing gaze. He failed to do so, and their eyes locked as he looked back up. Nothing was said, and they just stared at each other for a few seconds. 'Why isn't he saying anything? I expected him to have opposed to the idea by now.' Yue Mei thought. Liu Fan began to walk closer, and Yue Mei found herself backing away until she was against a wall. He came closer and stopped just inches away from her face. 'If you do what I think your going to do, I'll kill you! I don't care if your emperor!' She thought, a light blush on her face from his being so close. 'Teach me.' Liu Fan said. 'Huh? What?' Yue Mei said. 'Teach me how to use a sword. There's logic in what you say. So teach me how to fight.' Liu Fan backed away, and Yue Mei regained her lost composure. 'Fine. I'll teach you. First though, we have to report to my father.' She said. 'And who's your father?' Liu Fan asked. 'The provincial protector of Yang, Sun Liao. I'm his adopted daughter.' She said. 'Now, If we can stop messing about, my father is probably waiting for us.' Yue Mei said climbing up the steps. Liu Fan walked ahead and stopped infront of her. 'What?' She asked. Liu Fan looked down for a moment, then quickly kissed her on the cheek. 'For saving me in Xiang Yang.' He said. He walked into the palace, leaving a heavily blushing Yue Mei at the entrance. 'How dare he kiss me! I should wring his neck!' She said. 'But it's so apparent that you liked it.' A voice said. 'That could only be one person.' She thought. A lone figure appeared out of the shadows. 'Gan Feng. Only you would have the gall to spy on me.' Yue Mei said. 'But I can't help it. It's just so fun!' Lu Feng said. He leapt over Yue Mei and grinned. 'Well then, I must be off. I'll just keep what I saw to myself until I need something from you.' He said, vanishing. 'What a pain he is.' She thought. 'Even though you did like it.' A part of her said. She shook her head, then turned back towards the palace and followed Liu Fan in.
'They're right behind us! Hurry up!' Zima Qi yelled. 'You've got the fastest horse we had! You got to slow down! Zima Hui said. 'You better speed this horse up or we're dead!' Zima Xue said. 'Will all of you stop yelling back and forth! Let's just escape!' Zhen Gong said, looking at the pursuing Song forces. 'Just great. We escape Xiang Yang and the hundred thousand who took it, only to run into another three hundred! Could this get any worse?' The two horses rode into a canyon. 'We may be able to escape them in here!' Zima Qi said. 'You better be right!' Zhen Gong said. They rode through the winding canyon and came to a dead end. 'Zima Qi you idiot! You trapped us!' Zhen Gong said. 'It's not my fault! You told me which way to go! I assumed you knew where you were going!' Zima Qi said. 'If you two would stop bickering, you'd realize they caught up with us.' The group of Song soldiers had circled them, though they didn't approach. 'Something's wrong if they haven't attacked yet.' A single rider rode from among the troops. 'So these are the famous Shu generals.' He said. 'You managed to escape from my assault of Xiang Yang. Quite fortunate. However, your luck ends here.' When the warrior appeared from the crowd, the Shu generals all gasped. His eyes were glowing crimson. And he was wearing a set of Roman armor. 'I am Matriel, General of the left under Ji Jia.' He said, pulling a mace off his back. 'The legendary warrior Matriel. The head of the Roman soldiers of Sima Dan, the Jin Emperor. That's impossible!' Zima Hui said. 'No it's not. Dark Wolf resurrected his soul.' Zima Qi said. 'Dark Wolf? The legendary sword of Xiahou Shang?' Zima Xue said. 'The one and the same. How Ji Jia got his hands on it I can only guess.' Zima Hui said, remembering the evil aura Dark Wolf had emanated. 'Enough of your talking! Which of you will battle me! Bring it on!' Matriel yelled. Zima Qi began to ride forward. 'I shall be your opponent!' He said drawing a sword. 'Excellent. I can kill the traitor to Lord Ji Jia and avenge our first loss at Xiang Yang!' Zima Qi jumped off his horse. 'This little sword won't be able to beat that mace of his! What can I do?' He thought. 'Cousin!' Zima Hui yelled. 'Take this!' Zima Hui threw Geomancer to Zima Qi, who caught it with ease despite its weight. 'That is the real Geomancer. I was planning on keeping it to avenge you, but I suppose since you're back, you can avenge yourself just fine.' Zima Hui said. Zima Qi grinned. 'Thanks. I needed this.' Zima Qi began to swing Geomancer. 'Now he won't stand a chance.'
'Lord Ji Jia, I'm curious. How were you able to bring Matriel back to life? To my knowledge, he wasn't killed by Dark Wolf, and Dark Wolf can only revive those killed by it.' Ji Jia shook his head. 'You can sometimes be too curious.' Ji Jia said. 'But anyway, here's what happened. After Xiahou Shang threw away Dark Wolf, the Jin general Leliel found it. He took the sword to Matriel, who claimed it as his own. During Jin's final battle with Shu, Xiahou Shang sensed Dark Wolf's evil presence and was drawn to it. He did battle with Matriel, and they fought to the death. In the end, Xiahou Shang took Dark Wolf and stabbed it through Matriel. Therefore, Matriel's soul was taken. Xiahou Shang, however, once again threw Dark Wolf away. My ancestor Ji Wei found it while he was fishing just days after the battle.' Ji Jia said.
Zima Qi leapt into the air and swung Geomancer at Matriel. Matriel blocked with his mace, and pushed Zima Qi back. Dismounting, Matriel threw his mace at Zima Qi, who dodged it. 'What was that? Are you afraid of me that much?' Zima Qi said. Matriel began to laugh. 'Who said I was aiming for you?' There was a thump, and Zima Qi turned and saw that Matriel had aimed for Zhen Gong. Zima Hui, however, was the one who got hit. 'He blocked it!' Zima Qi thought. 'Cousin watch out!' Zima Hui gasped. Zima Qi felt Geomancer torn from his grasp. 'Never turn your back on your opponent.' Matriel said. Zima Qi tried to get a firm hold on Geomancer by grabbing the end, but the hidden sword came out in his grasp. Matriel stumbled backwards trying to adjust to Geomancer's weight. 'Now is my chance!' Zima Qi thought. He charged forward with the sword and made a stab at Matriel's torso. 'Fool.' Matriel brought Geomancer down on the sword's blade, knocking it from Zima Qi's hands. 'Damn! He tricked me!' Zima Qi muttered. 'I deceived you. Tricked you makes it sound like we have a friendly relationship.' Matriel said. 'Touché.' Zima Qi said. Matriel raised Geomancer to smash Zima Qi's skull. 'You shall not harm Lord Zima Qi!' A voice said. Suddenly, a spear shot through Matriel. 'For the glory of Shu!' Confusion broke out as several Song soldiers began attacking each other. 'Here stands Li Guo of Chang Sha!' Someone yelled. From three sides, several hundred Shu soldiers appeared. One group lead by Huan Jian, another by Son Kai, and the final one by Xiahou Mei. 'Always getting into impossible positions. I'm getting tired of saving you Zima Hui!' Son Kai said. Zima Hui pulled his sword out. 'Now that the odds have been evened out, time for me to make a scene!' Zima Hui shot forward on his horse and began to cut through any soldier that got in his way. Zima Qi walked over to Matriel and took Geomancer. 'Give this message to Ji Jia when he revives you. I'M BACK!' He lifted Geomancer and brought it down on Matriel's skull, smashing it like an overripe melon. The Song soldiers, demoralized by Matriel's death, surrendered. 'Now that we found you, let's hurry to Jian Ye. I'm sure the emperor is worried.' Huan Jian said.
Hours had passed since the battle's end, and the Shu forces had set up a camp for the night. The sun had set, and the evening meal had just begun. 'Finally we can relax and eat in peace. I'm sick of always being on the run.' Xiahou Mei said. 'Now that I think about it, we're just like Liu Bei was.' Li Guo said. 'We started at the capital, retreated to Jing, and now we're retreating to Jian Ye. We're following almost the exact same path he followed.' Zima Xue laughed. 'You know what? You're right! Now that I think about it, we are like Liu Bei!' Zima Hui nodded. 'Except we have the emperor with us.' They all talked for an hour even when they had finished eating. 'Where's Zima Qi?' Son Kai asked. 'He took some food to Zhen Gong.' Huan Jian replied. 'A little quality time alone for the lovebirds? Hahaha!' Li Guo said. 'Since there's nothing to do, how about we have a drinking contest? For once there's nothing better to do.' Zima Hui asked. 'You have just sealed your defeat! No one can out drink me!' Son Kai said. 'Now don't be too sure on that. I can drink more then anyone here!' Li Guo boasted. 'Enough talk! Let's start the contest!' Zima Hui said. The contest was to see how many Jars of wine each general could drink. Whoever drank the most jars, won. One by one, each of the generals dropped out until it was between Li Guo and Zima Xue. 'Go Zima Xue! You can do it!' Zima Hui yelled out. Li Guo and Zima Xue, however, heard none of the cheers. All they thought about was winning. 'I can't let him out drink me! He may be handsome, but I won't let him win!' She thought finishing another jar. 'She's good! Not only is she beautiful, she can drink almost as much as I can!' Li Guo thought. They both slammed their jars down at the same time and went for another. There was only one left. 'Typical.' They both thought as they reached for it. 'This one's mine! I got it first!' Zima Xue said. 'You wish! I got to it before you!' Li Guo protested. 'Since there's only one pot left and both of you got to it at the same time, I guess it's a tie.' Zima Hui said. 'No way!' Zima Xue yelled. 'There's got to be a tie breaker or something!' Li Guo said. 'You all can settle that yourselves. I'm going to my tent.' Zima Hui said. Most of the other generals followed Zima Hui. 'There's no way this is ending in a tie Li Guo!' Zima Xue said. 'Well then think of a tie breaker and let's get to it!' Li Guo said. Zima Xue began thinking. 'Ah! Chess!' She said. 'Are you sure you want to challenge me? I've been playing since I was a child.' He said. 'Bring it on.' She said. 'I have a set in my tent. Get ready to lose.'
Swords clanged together as Yue Mei attacked. 'Defend! If you don't, you'll wind up dead!' She said to Liu Fan. 'Easy for you to say.' Liu Fan thought, parrying her strike. She struck again, and Liu Fan blocked it. 'Not bad emperor! For a beginner, you pretty good!' Yue Mei said, sheathing her sword. 'Not bad? I think I did pretty well for my first time with a sword.' Liu Fan said. 'My emperor! A large body of troops bearing the imperial insignia has arrived at the gates!' A servant said, running into the training room. 'Looks like your generals made it through.' Yue Mei said. Liu Fan walked out onto a balcony over looking the city. 'Now if we can gather the strength needed to defeat Ji Jia.' Liu Fan said.
