Author's notes: Once again thank you to all the people who have reviewed. In wrestling terms Sun Ce is now a monster heel (Super bad guy) and Lu Xun is a super face (Super good guy). Now this might turn into a multi relationship fic so if it does just bear with it. Understand I do like Sun Ce but thought he was a great bad guy for this idea. By the way I think the weapon system for DW 5 sucks. So everyone is using their Lv 11 weapons from DW 4. Everything else such as voice, costume etc is DW 5. Also there is another quite graphic whipping scene. More graphic than the last one. Please don't think I'm a sadist, but flogging is the sort of thing very evil people do.
Disclaimer: Well you know something brotha's, Hulk Hogan says Warmon owns only the plot brotha's, everything else is Koei owned dudes!
Chapter 4
The ride of Liu Bei
Liu Bei pondered as he strolled around the many streets of Wei's capital, Chang An. Why hadn't Lady Sun replied? His constant fear (Like Mine of the dentist) was that she had been caught out. He strolled around a Corner to find himself in front of the palace gates.
"Life must go on." He thought. (What my Dad says to me when I worry about the dentist.) Unfortunately, his lover was in boiling hot water….
CRACK!
"Arghh!"
"That will teach you to refuse me whore!" Cackled Zang Ba as he cracked his whip at the slave Sun Shang Xiang. A small line of red appeared among the healing scars from the week before. The slave girl harness she wore had been specially made by Zang Ba. Considering what it looked like she might as well have worn nothing. It helped Zang Ba in the way it aroused him more. She refused to sleep with him and each time received a well directed lick from his whip.
"Sleep on the floor then. I'm out tomorrow but on Friday Lord Sun had ordered I give you another flogging to open up the scars from last week. HAHAHAH!" He cackled. Shang wept in her sleep praying for a miracle. Luckily for her Liu Bei had a vision.
"Arghhh!" Cried Liu Bei as he awoke from a nightmare that seemed too real to be a dream. He yell brought Most of the Shu Officers onto his room, weapons at the ready.
"Brother! What is it?"
"Yes Milord what is wrong? Are you ill?" Liu Bei looked around at his men. All good men who would follow him to the underworld and back. But he knew he must go to his beloved and only alone could he succeed.
"Bring me my sword and armour! Saddle Hex Mark!"
"Brother, what is wrong?" asked Guan Yu.
"My beloved is in mortal peril Guan Yu! I must go to her immediately. I must ride alone into the night and southwards to Jian Ye!"
"You would ride to Wu's capital yourself and attempt to snatch a member of the Wu family from under Sun Ce's nose? My lord what madness has afflicted you?" Despaired Zhou Yun.
"None my loyal friend. But only alone can I do this." Smiled Liu Bei. "I must go speak with Cao Cao to inform him of my plans. When I return I except my Horse to have been saddled." He told them as strapped his armour on. Hefting his sword he proceeded to Cao Cao's quarters. Although angry at being awoken Cao Cao wished him luck.
"Liu my friend."
"Yes."
"Come back alive."
"I promise." He whispered. Cao Cao was not one to let him go alone and rushed to his officers.
"I will not allow my ally to walk into the lions den unaided."
When Liu Bei trotted pat the gates into the open landscape he found an unusual sight awaiting him. All his and Wei's higher up officers dressed for combat, mounted with weapons drawn.
"What is this throng assembled for my Brothers?"
"Forgive us milord, but if insist on going alone we will chain you to your room!" Yelled Ma Chao.
"What!"
"Brother we are all going with you, weather you like it or not!" Cried Zhang Fei.
"Oh Gods above…." Muttered Liu Bei. "I can't ride into Wu with a throng of thirty behind me! Are you mad?"
"No we are not." Came the soft voice of Zhuge Liang.
"Master Liang, is this not madness?"
"My lord. Why are you annoyed at their loyalty for you? They wish to see you return safely." Unable to argue anymore Liu Bei relented. And as one raised their voices, so that everyone in the land around could hear them.
"TO WU!" And with that the host charged into the night.
As Shang awoke she heard a funny sound of clanking chains. Wasn't Zang Ba meant to be out today?
"Well what a long sleep you had! Friday today and you know what that means!"
"Oh no…..please! Not againI beg you!"
"To late my dear. Your long sleep should have prepared you!" He cackled as he placed her in the chains hanging ominously from the ceiling. He pulled off her slave harness so as to get at the softer pieces of flesh. She coughed as a piece of wood was placed in her mouth to bite on. She heard the whip uncoil. Zang Ba moved behind her. She tensed, waiting for the first blow. He swung.
"One!" The whip was like the claw of a cat ripping into the flesh. Shang Bit down on the wood, feeling the wounds on her back reopen.
"Two!" Another scar was torn open as Zang Ba smiled sadistically. He rather enjoyed this.
"Three!" She prayed for her love. Why couldn't he be here to save me? She thought.
"Four!" The blow ripped open more flesh. Close to death she wished for the end blow to take her to the world beyond. The blow never came.
"DIE!" Screamed a high male voice. Liu Bei stuck his blade through Zang Ba's throat. Swinging around he lopped the psychopath blacksmiths head off.
"No one touches a lady of mine like that ever!" He swung again and cut Shang down from the chains. She gazed into his eyes as she passed out.
"Dam Sun Ce." He rushed out and placed her on his horse after gathering her belongings that Zang had hidden away. Just as he prepared to ride off to his waiting officer's two guards spotted him.
"LIU BEI IS HERE! INTRUDER IN THE CITY! RAISE THE ALARM" They cried. A hoard of guard charged him. Grabbing his reins he charged past them. He rode as quickly as he could to the city square to find his men and Cao Cao's fighting a desperate battle against the soldiers of Wu.
"My men, we have achieved our objective! Retreat!" As one they charged through any blocking their way. They were almost out of the city when an ominous sight greeted them. Several hundred Wu soldiers and their leaders. At the head was Sun Ce.
"Well, well, well. Playing the game of breaking and entering are we? That's my property you're carrying their Lord Liu Bei. Did I forget to mention for the murders of all my men I will be having you all executed. Good. Now dismount and go stand by that wall."
"Silence fool! I will have vengeance for my love!" Replied Liu Bei.
"How romantic." Ce shot back, pulling out a crossbow. This is a semi automatic one (They did exist) that fired several weaker but still dangerous bolts.
"The odds are indeed in my favour Liu Bei, HAHAHAHAH!" he cackled, pulling back the bolt. "Now die!"
What happened next was anyone's guess. The bolt was fired, but hit a tree instead of its intended Target. When everyone looked at Sun Ce they saw Sun Quan holding him down.
"Go now Liu Bei, take my sister to safety!" he cried. The Wu soldiers charged but were knocked aside. Ma Chao took up the rear but stopped to look back. He saw Quan and Ce engaged in a duel to the death. Charging back he vowed to rescue the man who risked his life for an enemy lord.
"Quan you fool! I knew you were against me!" Ce's Tonfa's clashed with Quan's sword.
"You're the fool Ce!"
"DIE!" Ce brought his brother down with ease and rose his weapons for the killing blow.
"Now my brother go to father!"
Ma Chao smashed Sun Ce aside, and scooped up Sun Quan.
"All who bar my way shall feel the wrath of justice!" Ce who had pulled himself back up was not intimidated.
"Kill him!" He ordered. Ma Chao just rushed them cutting down any in his path as he raced to join up with his lord.
"Thank you Lord Ma Chao. I am in your debt."
"No Lord Sun Quan. I was only doing what justice expects to be done!"
"Then I thank justice." And as one the column of horsemen rode into the sunset, back north to Wei.
Sun Ce was now a very angry person. His kingdom had been invaded by those treacherous dogs from the north and his property had been stolen by someone who was supposedly virtuous.
"Why haven't my spies reported in yet?"
Patience My Lord plea..."
"Silence Zhou Yu! I will not be lectured at a time like this! Where are my slave girls? Where is my slave Xiao Qiao?"
"My wife is..."
"Silence fool, she is no longer your wife! We are no longer brothers! I refuse to have such weak links!"
"Yes of course my lord." Ce turned to all his assembled officers, scanning the crowd.
"Where is Zhou Tai? I saw him this afternoon."
"He has… disappeared my lord." Zhou spoke softly sensing what was to come next.
"WHAT! MY OFFICER DISAPPEARS WHEN HIS MASTER DISAPPEARS! HOW CONVINEANT! FOR THIS CRIME FLOG ALL MY SLAVES AND EVERY 20TH PERSON WITHIN JIAN YE! I WILL NOT BE EMBARRESED THIS WAY!" He screamed. Needless to say Zhou Tai had secretly set out to join his master. And on one would stop him.
Author's notes: Another chapter done. Sorry it took awhile to update but with me being in my last year of school I haven't got a lot of spare time. Its the half term holiday at the moment so I will try and add some more chapters. But after this week don't expect many updates until Christmas. Adios!
