Zhang He's lips curled into a smile as they brushed against the quivering mouth of his lover. He had heard the rumours around camp about him. But even without them he knew there was no one at the Wei camp who could have expected this, in fact only He and the person he was kissing knew anything about it. He could feel their hearts beating, strong, against each other's and their two organs almost seemed to fall into the same rhythm, so firmly interlinked. He ran his hand across their slender waist and pulled away from the kiss to admire the figure standing before him.
"So beautiful," he whispered. Zhen Ji's eyes shone with pleasure.
"Beauty seeks company by dear," she soothed into He's ear, her tongue making the lightest of touches against his soft earlobe. Her cool cheek stroked against He's and she sighed deeply.
"Your beauty outshines even my own," He cooed, playing with Ji's hair, "but if your husband were to…" at this Ji struggled from He's grasp her eyes alight with anger.
"My husband is an insolent little toad," she snarled, "every touch from him is like acid on my skin, it physically hurts to maintain a smile for that useless ogre!"
Ji's face turned red from anger, her eyes began to water from pent up emotion. He enveloped her with his arms, whispering comfortingly into her ears and stroking her hair. She sobbed quietly into his chest.
"My dear? Is that you?" A harsh voice pierced its way through the silence of the clearing causing Ji to spring from He's embrace. Wiping the tears frantically from her eyes, Ji gave He a meaningful glare before straightening her dress and plastering a fake smile upon her face.
"Yes, it's me, my love," she sang back so convincingly, Zhang He, himself began to doubt she previously been crying. And Pi probably would not have noticed either had it not been for Ji's tearstained cheeks. The moment he saw her he knew something was wrong.
"What are you snivelling about?" He snarled contemptuously, "Did you lose a hairpin?" The smile fell momentarily from Ji's face before she masked her distress with another overachieving smile. "What are you doing out in the words with…" he paused and looked He up and down "…strange men." At this He let out a snort and flicked the hair out of his eyes.
"Well I won't linger here any longer. See you soon Lady Ji." He purred gazing into Ji's eyes and smiling mysteriously.

"Shut up Tong!" Cai growled. Pang Tong shuffled awkwardly in his heavy robes and wiped the sweat from his brow.
"Please Cai," he implored, "It is not what it looks like."
"Oh really?" She spat, "then please fill me in, why are you still working for Wei?"
"After I chained Wei's boats together I tried to escape but Dun caught me and he watched me the whole battle. I didn't have a chance to escape, I promise." Tong sighed.
"A likely story," Cai snarled.
"You are a traitor to our lord", roared Yu
"If you are really still with Shu," Bei began, "then why do you not free us from our prison?"
"I want to." At this Cai laughed, "But I can't with all these Wei officers watching."
"That's convenient," Cai, said with utter contempt, "I hope you enjoy your new Wei buddies!"
"NO!" Tong yelled, "I have not joined Wei, I still follow Shu. And I will free you!"
"What?" Boomed a voice from behind Tong. He turned to see the ogre-like form of Dian Wei thundering towards him. Tong gulped and the three Shu officers glanced nervously at one another.
"What are you doing Tong?" shouted Wei. Tong stood rooted to the spot completely petrified his eyes quivering with unconcealed terror. "Speak up maggot! You're not allowed to talk to Cai… ever" Wei lowered his voice to a whisper on his last word causing Tong to shake visibly.
"Yes…sorry…um…of…course…" Tong burbled before turning tail and fleeing from the pit. Wei chuckled heartily rubbing his hand across his sweaty, bald head. He glanced down at the prisoners and a little smile played across his lips.
"How could Tong dare to talk to Cai?" Wei thought, "she is mine and I will kill any man who tries to take her from me."

"You! Go cut some firewood! You! Watch the prisoners! You! Collect some water!" Pi barked out endless lists of instructions whilst the poor Wei officers scurried to his bidding. When he had finally sent them all away with tasks he chuckled to himself and hurried off straight into Yi, who was standing right behind him.
"Little toad! Get out of my way." Pi snarled rising to his feet and dusting off his robes. Yi scuttled to his feet apologizing whole-heartedly.
"Forgive me my lord," he began, "I just wanted to congratulate you on your brilliant running of our camp. You truly follow in your fathers footsteps." At this Pi roared furiously grabbing Yi by the scruff of his neck and hoisting him a few inches into the air.
"I do not follow anyone!" Pi snarled, "I make my own footsteps." Dropping Yi onto the floor Pi stormed off cursing loudly. Yi's cruel mouth twisted into a smile.
"You can make your own footsteps lord Cao Pi. But I, am the gale that blows all the sand back into place."

Ji gasped as her lover ran his cold hand down her naked back. Pulling him into another passionate kiss she felt his long hair fall across her face. Her breath escaped her completely as their kiss came to a close and she rubbed across his muscular chest. She looked up into his scarred face and wondered what that familiar eye patch concealed.
"I love you, Xiahou Dun." She whispered, "You are the only one for me. If only my husband could understand me as you do." Dun chuckled, rubbing his hands across Ji's body enjoying everyone moan or whimper he could get her to make. Then, suddenly, a rustling in the bushes caused the two to spring apart, Ji hastily fastening her dress back in place.
A face appeared from between the trees, pale and white with cruel eyes. A spiked moustache hung from his chin and his hair was thinning in places. He wore resplendent armour that seemed suspiciously clean and complete.
"My lord!" Dun gasped bowing low.
"Lord Cao Cao, we feared you were dead," said Ji.
"It takes more than a little storm to kill me!" Cao laughed. "Now then. Direct me back to your camp so I can sort everything out. I hope Pi hasn't screwed up too much!"

Cai glared angrily up at Wei's piggy eyes. "Stop watching me, you vile ogre!" Cai demanded. Snapping out of his daydream Wei stood up angrily, shaking his head to try and remove his thoughts.
"Shut up girlie! You're not the boss of me! You stupid bitch!" He shouted down at her. Cai took a step back, taken aback by what he had said. Water welled up in her eyes and she wiped them away furiously. Wei opened his mouth to try to apologize but he couldn't, instead he just watched her sink to her knees and stare blankly at the pit walls. Wei felt a lump in his throat that he could not remove through any amount of coughing and angrily he marched off and switched shifts with Zhang He, who was looking increasingly troubled.
"Have you seen Lady Zhen Ji?" He asked over and over but always received the same answer,
"Not for a while. I think she went off with Xiahou Dun somewhere."
But no one was worrying about the missing Zhen Ji; everyone was talking about the reappearance of their supposedly dead lord Cao Cao. Everyone seemed happy to have him back, that is everyone but Cao Pi.
"I have been usurped and turned into a powerless servant in ten minutes!" Pi moaned, "You're supposed to be a rival to the Sleeping Dragon. Work something out to give me some power!" Pi demanded.
"My lord, if your father went missing then you'd have power once more," Yi whispered in a snake-like fashion.
"You mean… kill him?" Pi asked confused.
"My lord. Every great leader has to make some sacrifices." Yi smiled demonically and Pi slowly nodded his head.
