Hey everyone! Sorry I didn't really introduce myself or anything in the prologue. This is my first fanfic and I decided to make it on Gan Ning and Xing Cai since no one I've known of has made one of them! Hope you all like this fic!
Chapter 2: The Kidnap
He pulled his Sea Master out of a dead soldier's chest.
"Gan Ning!" a voice shouted.
Gan Ning turned around and saw Sun Jian walking towards him.
"What?" Gan Ning demanded.
"Didn't I tell you not to kill our soldiers for fun?" Sun Jian scolded when he saw the lifeless soldier.
"It wasn't for fun!" Gan Ning said. "OK, maybe it was."
"Gan Ning! Just stop killing the soldiers. If you want, we'll capture some soldiers from Wei or Shu." Sun Jian offered.
"Nah. No need." Gan Ning said, wiping the blood of his sword.
"Gan Ning, I need to ask you something." Sun Jian said.
"Does this have anything to do with the explosion that went off in your room last week? Cause I didn't do it."
"That was you who did that?"
"I just said it wasn't me!"
"Sure. Gan Ning, I want you to kidnap Xing Cai for me."
"Go ask someone else."
"Is that the way to speak to your leader!"
"Umm … yes?"
"Gan Ning! You serve for Wu! Now I want you to find Xing Cai and bring her to me! One of our spies has informed me Xing Cai is at Shu's North Depot, planning to head towards the west tomorrow. Follow her and don't come back until you find her."
"So … do I go now or tomorrow?"
"Now!" Sun Jian bellowed.
Gan Ning got on his black horse.
"I suggest you leave your bells behind, Gan Ning. You'll attract too much attention!"
"Look, I'm already doing this crap for you. Don't push it, old man." Gan Ning muttered rudely.
He went off on his horse before Sun Jian could say anything.
Gan Ning travelled north until the Shu depot came in sight.
Xing Cai heard many screams and the jingle of bells.
She tried to get up from her bed.
"Please, Lady Zhang, stay in bed. I will see what is happening." A healer told her.
The healer went out of the tent.
Xing Cai had a feeling something bad was happening.
She got up and walked out of the tent slowly.
She gasped.
There were many dead Shu soldiers on the ground, including the healer.
A tall attractive man with a blood covered sword was standing among the bodies.
He turned around when he heard Xing Cai gasp.
"Hello, Xing Cai." He smirked.
"Gan Ning of Wu!" she said, still in shock.
"Yup. I'm on orders to take you to Sun Jian."
"To kidnap me!"
"That's a little harsh. More like … to invite you to meet Sun Jian … by force."
"What does he want?"
"Do you expect me to know what's going on in that screwed up mind of his?"
"Does he want me dead?"
"I told you, I don't know!"
"Well I'm not going!"
"Yes you are!"
"No I'm not!"
Gan Ning grabbed her arm.
She winced in pain.
"Get on the horse and don't complain, or you'll be on the ground like those other soldiers!"
"I can't get on a horse even if I wanted to, if you haven't realized! My hip is still injured!"
Gan Ning groaned and picked Xing Cai up.
"What are you doing! Let me down!" Xing Cai screamed, struggling.
"You said you couldn't walk!" Gan Ning said.
"I said I couldn't get on the horse! I can walk by myself!"
Gan Ning ignored her.
Soon they were riding towards the Wu base.
Xing Cai kept trying to flee but she was so skinny Gan Ning could put his whole arm around her waist.
By the time they got there Xing Cai had given up.
Gan Ning took her to a tent where Sun Jian was.
"Lady Zhang. What a pleasure you could make it." Sun Jian said to Xing Cai.
"I didn't exactly have a choice, did I?" Xing Cai hissed.
Gan Ning was still gripping on to her arm.
"Xing Cai, do you know why I asked Gan Ning to bring you here?"
Xing Cai shook her head.
Hmm... why did Sun Jian asked Gan Ning to bring her there? You'll have to wait until the next chapter to find out!
