The Palace of Liu Bei

[Xifeng Yue]

[description will go here when I think of one. <_<]

[Xifeng Yue]

The Beautiful Devil made her way to the palace, and her presence was announced to the person in charge, and then she was allowed in. Where she had been expecting General Kano, she found Guan Yu. A pleasant surprise, for the man was someone Yue got along with, to a point.

“Ah, Xifeng!” He roared as the woman greeted him with a short bow. “About time you showed up. The new general was fretting. I managed to convince him that you hadn’t abandoned us.”

To this, she smiled. “My thanks, Guan Yu.” She replied, and was cut off before her explanation was given.

“No problem at all, I know how you work. So let me guess, Sun Jian this time, is it?” When she nodded, he half growled, brandishing his guandao kwandao, the Green Dragon Crescent blade, at her jokingly. “Now woman, stop seducing older men. Sun Quan’s closer to your age if your looking to marry into that family.” He laughed uproariously, and Yue pressed down a smirk and pretended to look startled.

“My Lord!”

“Oh Hush, you know I’m kidding. Now, come sit; tell me what you know so I can report it to Brother Liu Bei.”

She chuckled lightly, shaking her head as she made her way up to give her report to the man, pushing hair out of her face as she spoke. When she Finished, the man nodded gravely, his demanor changed.

"I see, well, we'd better start rounding up some officers them, if that's the way it's going to be. I assume you have alerady been working on the walls?" Yue nodded. "Good, keep up with that."

The two spoke for a bit longer, then she departed. There were things to be done.

[Zaci Kano]

Zaci Entered the palace he assigned all servants to work to get ready for the celebration of the return of their Beloved leader.

[Lord Liu Bei]

Bei approached the palace, he didn't want to cause a commotion so he used a back way of getting in, He quickly bypassed the throne room and went towards his bed.

He lied down for a few moments, but couldn't sleep he had much to do, Greet his general's but all of that could be done at the celebration.He knew what to do he is going to throw another party on the outside of the palace for the common people.

He put his trusted swords along side his bed, he wont need it. He was surrounded by his elite guards in case of attack by Wei or Wu, he was told to be on high alert.

A few hours had past as Liu Bei awoke it was just before sunset, He got ready for this part that Master Kano had prepared, He looked in the mirror before walking out towards the throne room.

[Xifeng Yue]

[*wrinkles nose* These are so incredibly short, but I have no time, sorry.]

Several hours had passed senice the events at Yue Xifeng's house, but word seemed to spread like wildfire inside and out of the capital city. There was a buzz in the air; exictment.

When the time came, the Beautiful Devil rode to the castle, falling in with the other guests. She looked alert, though relaxed, a smile on her face and Golden eyes with a spark in them.
Reaching the castle, she handed off her mare to a servant and made her way in. She had skipped the kimiono-She despised those things secretly- to proabply no one's suprise. Entering the hall, the woman mingled with the other's from Shu.

[Zaci Kano]

Zaci was very happy with the way the party turned he saw as all the Generals, Senators, and merchants entered. Zaci could not wait till his Beloved General Could wake up. The crowd almost went wild and Lord Guan Yu and Zhang Fei entered followed by Zhao Yun it was almost as if they were the emperor himself.

Jun had just left Hu Lao gate after meeting a strange ravenous girl because she knew she had somewhere to get to. That place was the party for the return of Master Liu Bei. "I knew there was somewhere to get to, but not this important. I should arrive on time anyway.... Run faster Xi!" Jun said to herself, then told her horse to run faster. It was a short ride until she reached her home. Yes her home, It was a special party and she was dressed very casually, showing off her stomach and most of her legs (Think Crop top and Mini skirt). After she reached her home she immediatley ran for the door, but instead of the door opening it didn't and Jun ran into it "I hate when I lock things" Jun said then got her keys and unlocked the door. She was a few minutes, then she appeared by the door wearing very long and elegant robes, which were a variety of colours and the time periods equivelent of high heels, She then grabbed a long coat to hide her robes because they were her special ones and she didn't want them damaged.
After a short ride she reached the Palace.
She dismounted her horse and walked Xi to by all the other horses. When Jun turned her back on Xi, the horse ran off "Seriously! Stop it" Jun whispered but in a loud manner.
She then proceeded through the front entrance "Sorry I'm late... If I am, I'm not sure. I had to change".

[Xiahou Dun]

Liu Bei's return from a brutal military campain seemed to bring the vigor back into Shu. Men and women had gathered to welcome back the preeminary of virtue. So far, Liu Bei's feast had a auspicious beginning. Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Liu Bei, Zhao Yun, and Zaci Kano sat at the head of a table speaking and laughing with their guests as other guests carried on idle conversations. However, this auspicious beginning would leave an ephermal mark, for an ominous presence entered near. He stood on the balcony watching the guests talk. The man was swaddled in a black robe bearing the Xiahou family name. He spoke aloud with a vehement tone.

"Welcome back Liu Bei, man of virtue. Though in saying that, I can't but help feel a small ammount of irony. You see, while you indolent and narrow minded fools sat within the confines of Cheng Du, the so-called leader of virtue was leading a brutal military campain to further himself and his brothers, the drunken Zhang Fei, and the thorn in my cousin's side, Guan Yu. You heard right, the man who stands, speaking before you now is indeed Xiahou Dun, cousin to Cao Mengde, and brother to Xiahou Yuan. Liu Bei, speak for your crimes!"

[Xifeng Yue]

Alarmed at the ominous voice, many stopped to listen to him and his accusations towards their Lord. One, on the other hand, rose from their seat hands clenched on the table. Dark hair that framed bright eyes filled with anger made them seem as bright and hot as the sun, molten.

"How dare you! Do not throw false charges at Lord Liu Bei while hiding like a coward in the shadows! Show yourself, Xiahou Dun!" The Beautiful Devil pushed her chair back and stepped out into the open space, away from the table. Great, she had been in a wonderful mood until this man showed up, spouting his lies at a time of celebration, in their own country.

But what did she plan to do about it? Challenge him herself?

[Xiahou Dun]

Hearing, the outburst of an outspoken woman,Xiahou Dun took his sights off Liu Bei for the time being. He removed his robe and stepped forward. Xiahou Dun had his trusted scimitar at his side and he approached Xifeng Yue.

"Stay out of this! You are nothng more than mere pestelence in my eyes. This is between Lord Cao Cao and Liu Bei. It concerns not the likes of some feeble minded, brainwashed woman. Back away you impudent wench, unless that is, you wish to use force."

Xiahou Dun lifted his scimitar up and move toward Xifeng Yue. He placed his scimitar so the end of it was staring Xifeng Yue down. He waited for her reply.

[Zaci Kano]

You swine! Guan Yu shouted in a booming voice. You should leave before I make you. Guan Yu withdrew his dagger. Guan Yu, please! Shouted Zaci Kano.
Xi You may sit down. Zaci Pushed out his chair and walked to the man. Zaci's face was not far away from him. They were face to face, seeing these two big men was very exciting. You will go now. Zaci was not right in his face. If you ever come within my grounds again I will be sure to take out your other eye. Zaci did not move one inch until this man left there feast.

[Lord Liu Bei]

Liu Bei walked forwards he wasnt not worried about what Xiahou Dun had just said, But he did threaten every one at the party. Liu Bei pulled out both his swords walked slowly over to the Wei lunatic that had interrupted his welcoming back ''Xiahou Dun, I applaude you for getting past my guards but it is time to see yourself out, All of my generals are here, You cannot win. Back down''

Liu Bei put both swords into his scimitar letting it drop towards the ground ''If you fail to do this i have no choice but to capture you'' He withdrew his swords but left one hand on the handle incase if Xiahou Dun did attack him, ''This is your only chance i will let you leave for free if you comply'' Liu Bei was not fazed by Xiahou Dun words there were a minor obstacle, there is no way he could win against Shu here and now. At this very time guards from the city have been called into the palace.

Liu Bei with his only free hand, pointed towards the exit with an open palm, He knew Dun wasnt a careless warrior but he was also fierce he wouldnt have the guts to attack Shu right here & now, It would mean war crimes against Wei.

[Xiahou Dun]

"Come Liu Bei, where is the virtue in killing me in such a manner? Do you know what this would do to the chaos? My cousin would simply crush you and ChengDu in one swift blow. I came not intending harm until your little wench here approached me. That and your half-wit murderor of a brother insulted me. I only wished to enlighten your people on your true motives. Come, lay down your weapon, or face the dire consequences."

Xiahou Yuan stood there with the Liu Bei's sword, "Virtue," at his throat as seven men wielding longbows walked in. The one in the center was a rather husky looking man in his mid to upper thirties. He took an arrow out of his quiver, made ready his bow, pointed it at Guan Yu, and exclaimed.

"Brother, I am sorry my arrival was late. Liu Bei, remember that little oath you swore to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei? I would hate for you to have to commit suicide at your party. Now let my brother go or Guan Yu has a premature visit to the heavens!"

Xiahou Yuan's men immitated him, only they aimed their arrows at Zhang Fei. This hopefully would make Liu Bei think twice about his actions. Knowing this, Xiahou Dun thingyily smirked.

"Come Liu Bei, show your true colors. Let the dragon awaken and kill me! Are you too afraid?"

[Zaci Kano]

Zaci stepped infront.
I'm not.
Zaci started to unbuckle his sword straps. He did not take his vision off of the man. He through his swords to the ground. A crowd started to form around them.
I always thought you were a great warrior. But as so stand here now I now see you as a coward. Now leave before I have to beat you infront of all these nice people. If your little sister wants to join then so be it. More Fun for me.
Zaci stood there not moving a muscle.

[Xifeng Yue]

The woman did not flinch as she stared down Wei's Prefect's blade. In fact, she smiled. Though dressed in the armor she normally wore, there had yet to be a hint of a weapon on her other than a knife. Was Xifeng really that foolish? Or did the Beautiful Devil hold more secrets than expected? Her eyes narrowed at The two Generalsof Shu as they moved in front of her and Xiahou Dun. She didn't need protecting, espically from the likes of this man here. Knowingly disobeying Kano's orders by remaining standing, she watched the whole exchange from over his shoulder. Her eyes only flickered away to watch the longbows. Foolish, our guards should be already alerted to their presense. Her attention returned when the man threw down his swords, prepared for a fight. She placed a hand on his Shoulder, senice he was closer than Liu Bei.

"Both of you, I called him out, step out of my fight." The female officer said, her eyes flashing. The insults to her and the land of Shu would not go without retriubtion. Her words turned to Xiahou Dun. "Hiding behind others when things turn sour, all here see your true colors; and they are those of one who is ignoble and uncourageous!" She had moved around the two at this point.
