I don't own DW/ROTK

A/N- Well this chapter is mostly about Liu Feng, but I promise soon there will be a couple chapter mainly focusing on Ping. When we get into the war in the south. Also thanks for all the reviews, and if you want to put a review, I will be very happy to get them. Thank you and I hope you enjoy this.

Liu Feng set quietly rubbing his temple, trying to clear his head. He knew that being the leader of a kingdom the size of Shu was not going to be an easy job, but he did not expect to have so much work to do. So many things which he had to approve or disapprove, meeting he had to go to, and all the formal introductions he was given. His advisors helped him a lot during the day, but there was only such much work they could do. They were receiving information from every area in the region, and important news as well. He was proud to be helping the kingdom, and he wanted to do the best he could do but at the moment, his head was just bothering him.

He looked down from his throne, most of the servants were still somewhere around do something, standing at attention of doing minor choirs to make sure that everything in the room was perfect. On the left side of the room Zhuge Liang stood brushing his fan against him, and from what Feng could tell, he was deep in thought as normal. Then on the right side of the room Jia was standing with a small smile across his face. Feng could only wonder why the smile was there, and it made him a bit curious about it. He slowly got up, he almost laughed when everyone servant in the room bowed when he stood.

"Well you may go about your business," Feng said with a small smile on his face as the servants went back to there normal business.

"Lord, may I ask what you are planning on," Zhuge said as he came out of his deep though.

"Simple, to do go do nothing, it is quite normal for young men like him, don't you agree," Jia said looking across at Zhuge.

"I think you have a good point, but we have things to get ready for, you know that, and my lord, you are needed," Zhuge countered.

"Well, I don't think Wei, or Wu are going to invade anytime soon, and I need a break, so I can work at my best, now till later," Feng said walking out of the room.

"Well Guo Jia, now you wonder why I wanted Chan as emperor rather then Feng, he does not have the make up to be the leader of this nation, and with Chan, I could of done what was needed," Zhuge said shaking his head, "But things are the way they are."

"Don't lie to your self, with Chan, your kingdom would have had no chance to be great, except by a fluke, but now, now we have a chance, and while Feng is not great now, give him time, he can become great in time. In fact I had a dream last night of in which the great flag of Shu waved over the capital at Chang An, and all were happy, people from all parts of the kingdom where there, from Yi, Bei Hai, and from even Wu, and Chang Sha."

"Well, it seems that we have to hope that dream is right, we have to have put faith into that dream," Zhuge said still shaking his head.

Feng quickly went to his room and took out his fancy robes and put on his training armor and went out train groups to get some sparring in with one of the officers there. He had not gotten complete used two the duel wielding style he had to employ with the two sword that were left by his father to him.

As he got out there, he had to sigh when everyone just stopped and bowed to him. "So which of you wants to spar with me today," Feng said with a smile looking over the men.

"Well your lordship, you may pick any of us, and we will spar with you, it would be the honor of our lives," one of the young officers said.

Feng picked over the group, and saw a tall man with long dark hair, and a modest build bowing with a long sword at his side. "Officer, I want to spar with you," Feng said pointing to the man.

"Sir, you lordship, it would be a honor," he said and soon the others went back to their own sparing matches.

Feng walked down to the small ring where the dark hair man was. "First let me ask who it is I spar today."

"My name is Shen Fu, lordship," Fu said looking a bit nervous.

"Fine well, shall we begin," Feng said raising his two swords in to a aggressive posture.

Shen Fu moved quickly towards Feng holding his sword parallel stance from his body, he came down with a vertical cut, that was blocked by one of Feng's two swords, then Feng spun inside his attack to counter. Fu saw it well enough and moved to the left, and at the same time he pushed his sword past Fengs defence, and forced Feng to use both swords to knock the sword to the side. Fu stepped back and attacked using a horizontal attack. Feng defended in a simpler fashion, but this time Fu let go of the sword with one hand and grabbed Feng's left wrist, and kneed him away, but Feng must of seen it coming and slipped out his grasp and moved back, the two two continued to each attack one right after another and soon the rest of the people who were sparing stopped to watch the action.

A good three hours later, Guan Ping and Xing Cai were walking out of the training room fully ready for there normal training work out that they have been having seen they got back from the adventure against Wu. As they walked out all they could see was the crowd of warriors, and even servants crowding around something.

"Well Ping, what do you think is going on, if you were to guess you would think Lu Bu, and my old dad came back to have one more grand fight to settle who was the stronger, " Cai said with a curious look on her face.

"Yeah, I have not seen that much attention for a fight since, back when I saw our parents spar together," Ping looking equally interesting, "Well we better go check it out."

Right after that Cai zoomed past them, leaving Ping to follow, he took a deep breath, and thought about Cai for a second, and how much he had seen they got back, he wonder if there ever could be something between them, but he knew full well she was still promised to Lord Liu Chan brother of his best friend, and was not really sure how he felt about her, but now he was a bit more confused then he had been about anyone.

"Ping, are you coming to watch or not," Cai yelled to Ping getting him out of his thought.

"Yeah, coming," Ping yelled back running down to the see what was going on.

"Look, you know I have never seen Feng fight before," Cai said with a smile.

"Yeah well, I have many times, we battled together, but he was not this good back then, and that other guy he is something else as well," Ping said watching the fight go on.

Feng moved slowly to the right watching the counter movement of Fu, he knew that he was going to have to end this soon, mostly because he had gotten behind on his workout since becoming emperor. That or it had been longer then he though, and this guy was just really in great shape. Feng thought of all the attacks that he could make, he had already tried about everything he could think of, he suddenly had an idea. He ran right at Fu, holding both swords tightly in his hands, attacking as if he was going with a high attack. He instead when a slide attack skidding across the ground. He attacked straight one with one sword which was blocked by his foes own sword, the stopped the slide on the other side of Fu, and attack backward leaving his sword at his neck, but he was forced to drop his sword midway through, and Fu sword was also right next to his next. The next second both men dropped there swords.

Feng turned around and fall on his but and sighed. "Well Master Fu, you are great, what are you doing as a common swordsmen officer in this army."

"Well my lord, I am but a simple peasant who was honored by this kingdom to have a chance to fight in this army, but at last battle, my unit lost all are leaders, and I was put in temporary charge, so my standing as a officer is only for a little while, your lordship," Shen Fu said with a smile, "I have to say you are much better then anyone I have sparred for with, this is the greatest honor in my life, and I will never for it as long as I live, but I figure the life of the common warrior all I have in front of me. I am popped, I don't think I could have taken this fight a bit longer."

"Well Fu, I think we need to find a spot for you, your to good to be a common warrior," Feng said getting up and walking over to Shen Fu, "Well now, I have to say stop this lordship stuff, just call me Liu Feng, or Feng if you want, and to be honest, I was worn out too."

Guo Jia smiled watching the actions in the courtyard from his room, "The young man is growing up, and it is only time before he is ready to be great, even now the signals of the greatness are apparent, skill with fighting, and being a good judge of character. Now this Shen Fu, I think he just may a nice role too, funny I think it is a false name, he must know his history of this kingdom well. I wonder if the original man to use that fake name still is serving Wei."
