Chapter Four

Sun Quan slipped out from under his silk sheets and made his way to one of the large windows in his room, it was a beautiful day. He bent down slightly resting his weight on his hands on the windowsill he frowned at himself, why am I thinking of Gan Ning when I should be thinking of the battle? He asked himself.

He heard a knock on the large double wooden doors and peered round at it. Reaching for his silk robe on the back of a near by chair and throwing it over his shoulders loosely he told the person to enter.

Lu Xun walking through the door looked over at his lord who was resting against the window sill facing him, his face burned slightly, his lord had such presence and the sun was giving off such dramatic back lighting casting shadows over the mans features.

"What is it Lu Xun." Sun Quan asked almost impatiently Lu Xun fumbled with the papers at his side looking away to disguise his now startled expression.

"I bring news of yesterdays battle." He said walking over to Sun Quan holding the papers out to him. Sun Quan nodded and motioned to his desk. They both made their way over to it and discussed the out come of the battle and also what their next move should be.
