Chapter 6: As Far As Possible
Lu Xun ran towards the hallways of the Kingdoms, running through maids, soldiers, scholars. He didn't care how many people he had bumped into, his main objective was to get to Qing Wan's quarters and apologize. Arriving at her quarters, he noticed Xiao Qiao, Da Qiao and Xiang Wan running around frantically. "What's wrong?" He asked concerned, the three girls stopped and looked at him. Xiang Wan angirly turned away.
"We can't find Qing Wan anywhere." Da Qiao explained, "We're trying to look for her right now."
"Yeah, you can't help anyways." Xiang mumbled to herself.
"I'll help." Lu Xun offered, but was angirly glared at by Xiang Wan.
"No need," she flared, "We don't want your wife to kill us you know." Stomping on his toe, she left the quarters with the rest of the Qiao sisters. Lu Xun held onto his foot in pain and looked up into the sky, when he saw a familiar shadow on the roof. Walking over to the giant Bo Tree that shaded the roof area, he climbed up slowly to see Qing Wan sitting there silently. Her arms hugged onto her legs.
"Qing Wan." Lu Xun said quietly, trying to approach her. "It's dangerous…"
"Get AWAY from me." She screamed, once recongizing his voice. "I don't want to ever see you again!"
"Okay okay." Lu Xun backed up, his foot on the branch of the tree again. He knew that if he approached her anymore, she would do something silly. "But remember," he spoke soflty so only she could hear. "No matter what happens, I will never stop loving you." Qing Wan turned away, not showing him the tears that were rolling down her cheeks. "I'm sorry." He said lastly, before jumping down the tree and leaving the area. Qing Wan stared at the empty space where he stood less then a minutes ago, she knew she couldn't solve anything with Lu Xun now. She was too angry, too sad, too defeated to do anything. Quickly, she hopped off the roof into her room and ran back out with a bag.
"I know this can't solve any problems." She said to herself, slipping a white envelope under her door, "But this is the only way I can solve my own problems." Looking around, she secretly climbed back up onto the Bo tree and onto the roof. Looking down from the distance between the ground and where she was gave her a headache, but she knew she had to do this. Not only for herself, but for everyone else. Closing her eyes, she prepared to jump down when she slipped on a rock, biting onto her bag she prevented herself from screaming. Luckily she had landed into a batch of hay which was placed there for the horses to eat. Patting the hay off her clothes, she climbed on to the nearest stallion she saw, and rode off away from the Kingdom.
"OH MY GOD." Xiang Wan's loud piercing scream attracted all the Wu generals to Qing Wan's quarters. Worried people gathered around the young maiden to see what had frightened her, but when Xiang Wan saw Lu Xun. She seperated herself from the group and jumped on him, strangling and yelling. "YOU BASTARD. GIVE ME MY SISTER BACK." She cried as she got pried off by Gan Ning, and to prevent her from jumping again. The pirate rested on her lightly. "GET OFF."
"What's the commotion anyways?" Sun Ce asked the younger twin, his wife noticed a piece of paper on the ground and picked it up. The couple read it and shook their heads, placing it on the table for the rest of the generals to read.
"Xiang Wan left?" Xiao Qiao stuttered tears threatning to spill. Zhou Yu held onto her closely and whispered into her ear. "Where is she GongJin?"
"Is this my fault?" Lu Xun said softly.
"No." Sun Ce patted his friend on the back, "This is something she wanted to do."
"Don't worry." Sun Jian appeared from behind, everyone bowed respectively. "When things have cooled down, she will return."
"How are you so sure father?"
"I just know."
Qing Wan galloped the vast roads of the Wu Kingdom towards the closest area she could think of. She knew she couldn't stay in Wu territory, people would recongize her and she'd end up being forced home. Stopping at the border between Wu and Shu's land, she scoffed. "I can't believe I'm hiding here, it's all their fault this happened anyways." She said to herself, spitting on their ground. "But, it's the only place I can go." Turning around to see one last look of Wu, she continued to gallop across to the city of Cheng An. But halfway she knew she didn't bring enough money, so she sold her stallion to a nearby farm for some money and walked the rest of the way. Arriving at the gate, she knew she had to make up some crazy story about her history, because why would she tell them the truth? She WAS an enemy general. Approaching the gate with her fake passport she had made earlier, the soldier in green stared at her.
"Where are you from? What's your name?"
"My names Jin Qing Wan, I am a ronin traveling around the lands. I would like to stay in ChengAn to understand it's history and culture." The solider stared at her and grinned, Qing Wan sighed with relief. It seemed the soldier liked her answer.
"Here, take this." The man winked, placing some gold in her hands. Qing Wan blinked and thanked the man, not bothering to wonder why. "Take care Lady Hua!"
"What?" she turned around, not hearing what he said.
"Nothing." He smiled. As she continued to wander the streets of ChengAn she heard a loud commotion from ahead. Approaching the old woman, she asked what was wrong.
"THAT MAN STOLE MY WALLET." The woman cried in fear, clutching on to Qing Wan's arm. Qing Wan held on to the elders arm and was prepared to help take it back when a loud cheer even farther ahead was heard.
"Lord Zhao Yun is so awsome!" She heard some teenage girls walk by and squeal, "Did you see how he attacked the bandit?"
"Lord Zhao Yun?" Qing asked herself quietly but was overheard.
"You don't know who Lord Zhao Yun is?" the elder woman said happily and directed her to a man with a brown horse walking over slowly. Qing Wan stared at the fairly handsome man who held the bag of money with his left hand and his spear with his right. "Thank you Lord Zhao Yun." The woman cried when she received her money back.
"Apologize to this woman." He spoke, his voice deep and loud. The crimminal begged for forgiveness before he was sent by more soldiers in green to the courtrooms. "It is my duty." He replied to the villagers who all thanked him for keeping the city safe. He looked around until he noticed Qing Wan standing there, her bag slung around her shoulder. Qing Wan noticed his sudden stare and stepped back slowly, hoping he wouldn't notice.
"What if he knows I'm from Wu?" she cursed under her breath and began to run.
"HALT." He shouted, jumping from his horse and started to chase after her. "Stop!" he screamed again.
