Chapter 11) Prisoner
Lu Xun had been chained and locked down in a dungeon. His body was sore from the journey to this place and from the beating he had received on arriving. He looked up when he heard foot steps coming towards him. He glared at the on coming soldiers, trying once again to get his wrist free. The door to his cell was opened and three soldiers walked in. Lu Xun glared at them as they laughed.
"Looky here another pathetic Wu officer!" One smirked slamming his fist into Lu Xun's gut. Lu Xun was even given a chance to take a breath (after having the wind knocked out of him) before the soldier punched him in the face. Lu Xun let out a small yelp as his head collided with the stone wall. His head hurt and everything was spinning as the soldiers unchained him and began to use him as their new punching bag. After several blows to the face, ribs, groin, and stomach the blows stop and he was just laying on the cold floor, but LU Xun knew they were still there. Cracking open his good eye he peered up at the soldiers who seemed to be arguing. If he could get up he could escape, but before he could try he was pulled to his feet by the most disgusting man he had seen. Lu Xun turned his head slightly trying to pull away so he wouldn't have to smell the man's foul breath.
"I say we truly have some fun now!" The soldier holding Lu Xun said.
"Get OFF!" Lu Xun yelled a rush surging through him to fight as the man pulled at his shirt. He remember all to well what Zhang He had said about his imprisonment, and he just couldn't let it happen to him!
"Looks like he's still got some fight left!" The first soldier said grabbing his hair and throwing him down to the ground.
"Get Off! You honor less bastards!" Lu Xun yelled.
"Please what would a Wu slut know of honor?" The third soldier mocked.
"That Zhang He's the only man in Wei that has any!" Lu Xun snapped, earning himself a back hand across the face.
"Soldiers!" A voice called. The three soldiers rushed to get off of Lu Xun and out of his cell much to his surprise and relief. "Go search the grounds there was a suspicious man peaking in my window." The voice ordered and the soldiers run off.
"Think it was smart sending the soldiers off!" Lu Xun hissed standing up.
"You're in no position to trying anything…. Even against a women." Zhen Ji smiled. "Now what did you say about Zhang? Has he been hiding you?"
"He hasn't done anything! And I swear if you hurt him!"
"So Zhang did get to you. Oooohhhh how cute!" Zhen Ji smiled, leaving Lu Xun utterly confused. "My dear Lu Xun Zhang He has had his eye on you ever since the first time he fought you. I'm just so glad you and he got to spend some time together."
"WHAT!" Lu Xun yelled very confused now.
"Zhang He and I share secrets though I didn't know he had gotten you!... Let's just say he's my best friend here." Zhen Ji winked.
"Oh…" LU Xun sighed.
"Hmmm!" Zhen Ji smirked and Lu Xun blinked at her. "Tell me do you like Zhang He?"
"… Yes I do." Lu Xun blushed not sure why he was telling this to Lady Zhen Ji of Wei!
"Awwww… So now I have to convince Sima Yi to return you to Zhang He…"
"I don't know… Pang De he might have spoken with Sima Yi and…."
"Uh oh what happened?"
"Pang De had come a while ago and Zhang He had hid me saying he didn't know of my where about and that the rumor that he had bought me as a slave were false." Lu Xun began. "Then yesterday morning he showed up in Zhang He's room grabbed me and dragged me here… He was threatening Zhang… Saying that if I"
"It's okay." Zhen Ji interrupted. "Zhang is just fine I know it." Zhen Ji winked, and smiled knowingly.
"How?" Lu Xun asked.
"Because my beloved never returned from his visit and my bet is he and Zhang are on their way here." Zhen Ji smiled. "Now you said Zhang bought you as a slave?"
"Yes." Lu Xun muttered he really didn't want to be teased about it.
"Well then I'll have to catch Zhang He before he goes and talks to Sima Yi and tell him to tell Sima Yi that." Zhen smiled.
"Why?"
"Oh come now, you're the great Lu Xun officer of Wu reduced to a bed mate!" Now if you were someone who liked to see others dishonored wouldn't that seem pretty bad? Not to mention he's just ugh!" Zhen Ji said and on the last part totally lost Lu Xun.
"Yeah point taken…. But what if they hurt him for keeping me a secret in the first place?" Lu Xun countered.
"Good point!" Zhen Ji frowned. Zhen Ji tapped her flute in her hand trying to think of something to say. "Well then I'll just have to sneak you out and have you meet up with Zhang then." Zhen Ji smiled.
"How?"
"I'm working on that part!" Zhen Ji snapped. "You think you'd be a bit more excited to get out and more optimistic!"
"Yeah but…" Lu Xun sighed and looked down at the ground. Even if he could get free could he convince Zhang He to leave this place, to take a risk. Yet if he didn't then Zhang He would be treated as a traitor and… Lu Xun didn't want to think of what could very well happen to him or Zhang He at any time.
"You're worried about Zhang huh?"
"Yes… Even if I get away if he doesn't leave this place then he could be… They'd rape him again!" Lu Xun shouted clenching his fist.
"And even if he left they'd chase after him." Zhen Ji said. "This isn't an easy road, but I will try and help you and Zhang as best I can." Zhen Ji smiled.
"Thank you Lady Zhen Ji." Lu Xun smiled. Both of them gasped at the sound of foot steps.
"Do forgive me for this but we can't let them know." Zhen Ji whispered, taking her flute she hit Lu Xun in the ribs.
"Lady Zhen Ji, your husband wishes to see you." Zhang Liao said. With a nod Zhen Ji left the dungeon hoping that Zhang Liao would leave Lu Xun alone. "Well now I see that the great strategist of Wu was tracked down." Zhang Liao smirked opening the cell door that Zhen Ji had shut.
