Chapter 15
Settling In
“Dun?” Lu
Ling Qi brushed his black hair out of his face and pushed it back behind his
ear. Their training session had lasted
well into the late hours and she was trying to get some more formation advice
out of him before he went to bed. Sitting
on his desk she figured it was the best time to try and work on his eye. It didn’t look good, but the question was
why?
“Yeah.” He
let her hand tilt his face so that she could get a better view of him. Her eyes darted across the left side of his
face and he could see her concern. It
would be nice if, eventually, they could become this relaxed around one
another. He fought the urge to run his
hand up her leg and instead moved the paper around on the desk.
“What’s the
deal with Lady Bian?” Ling Qi let her left hand rest on his jaw and ran her
thumb across his well trimmed beard. She
loved the beard and his mustache, they were incredibly sexy, especially how he
took such care to trim it perfectly each morning. His lips were chapped and dry and all she
could think about was licking them. Dammit
keep your mind on work!
Dun cocked
his eyebrow and felt her dab an alcohol soaked gauze pad around his empty eye
cavity. Why was it that she was so
unpredictable with her questions? “What
do you mean? She’s Mengde’s concubine.”
“But she’s
more important than that isn’t she?”
“Yeah,
she’s the eldest. She is in charge of
all of them.”
“What’s
with them though?” Ling Qi tossed the
used swab away and picked up a fresh one.
What a mess!
“Nothing
you should find bizarre. Cao loves her
and Lady Ding is merely the woman he married for power. You know, like the little love triangle your
father had going.”
“Oh.” She
frowned as the swab came away with a mixture of pus and blood. Something was still lodged in there. Had to be.
“Did you get the entire arrow out when you pulled it out?”
“How the
hell am I supposed to know that?”
“That
answers the question. Look, I think there’s something still in there. It’s still seeping because of something, so
I’m going to have to feel around.”
Dun grabbed
her hand. “Feel around any part of my body, except for my eye socket.”
“Don’t be
such a baby, I’ll be gentle.” Although I
really would like to feel up your chest again. Dammit!
“Sticking
your fingers into my wound is not going to be gentle no matter how much you
try.”
“Then go
see a doctor.”
Dun growled
and let go of her hand. “Be quick about it.”
“Quick is
not thorough.” Ling Qi cleaned her right hand off with the alcohol soaked rag
and gently placed her finger where her husband’s eye used to reside. Within a minute of searching she found the
culprit. The fine tip of the arrow had
embedded itself in the back of his socket.
With a couple of flicks of her finger she dislodged it and pulled it out. Triumphantly she held the miniscule bit in
her hand and showed her patient. “See?”
“How did
you learn how to do all this?” He opened his own hand and let her place the
arrow tip in his palm.
“I had to
patch up my father. He never would see a
doctor for any of his wounds, said that it didn’t help his image any to be
bothered by scratches. My mother’s
terrified of blood and anything that stains.
So I did it.”
“Mmmm.” He
dropped the sliver into his desk drawer and let his eye refocus on her legs.
Ling Qi
finished her cleaning and wrapped his eye patch back around his head. Finished with her minor surgery she jumped
down off the desk and gave him a peck on the cheek. “Part of the package deal
is a reward for being a good patient.”
Dun smiled.
“Then formations must be how I pay my bill.”
“Yes, so
continue.” Or you could treat me like
your wife and molest me a little. God, what the hell is wrong with me? Why can’t I just….no. I have to concentrate on my duty. Besides, he obviously isn’t interested in me
for that anymore. How can he be if we
are sleeping naked next to each other every night? Daddy always said men lack self-control when
it comes to naked women…so that means he genuinely doesn’t look at me that
way. I thought it was part of my role as
his wife. “Fight during the day, fuck me at night.” That was what he said,
right? Maybe that only applies when
we’re too far away from Cao Cao’s harem to have any other choice. Am I really that horrible to be with?

Zhang Liao
smiled as Xiahou Mao galloped up. “Colonel?”
“The enemy
is maintaining a defensive position.
They are well contained within the stronghold. My scouts tell me there are three generals
and four sub-generals. Oh…” Mao rolled
his eyes. “And Yuan Xi’s wife.”
“His wife?”
“Yes, the
Lady Zhen Ji. She is rumored…”
“To be
extraordinarily beautiful. Yes I have heard, you do recall I worked for Dong
Zhuo. Those rumors were always quick to
reach his ears.” Zhang Liao grinned. He
liked the young man; he was a good soldier a fact that didn’t surprise
him. So far he had learned to trust
Xiahou Dun’s judgment on those things.
During the ride to Yu province, Xiahou Mao had made an effort to
fraternize with him; in the young man’s mind he was trying to help smooth
things over with his new step-mother’s family.
Too bad the kid was trying so hard to win the easy battle; his father
was the one who was in need of reinforcements back at Xu Chang.
“Well our
fearless leader has also heard those rumors.” Xiahou Mao informed him. “So he
has ridden to the front lines to investigate.”
“Excellent.”
Zhang Liao mumbled sarcastically. Like
father…..
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
“Why are
you two just standing here?” Xiahou Yuan trotted his horse over to his two
sons.
“Well, “Xiahou
En began, “Our cousin has decided to begin collecting women like his old
man. It apparently begins here.”
“He said
that if she is as beautiful as she is rumored to be then she needs to be in
Wei. Something about envy of the three
kingdoms, blah blah.” Xiahou De added.
“You two
just let him go? You do realize if he
gets killed Cao Cao is going to want to know why….right?” Xiahou Yuan asked.
“He’ll be
fine.” Xiahou En shrugged.
“Besides if
she high kicks him he’ll take it as a come on.” Xiahou De smiled at his father.
“Worried?”
“A little.”
Xiahou Yuan admitted. “Our commander is
running off after women instead of ordering his men into an offensive
position.”
“Uncle
Cao’s going to castrate him when we get home.” Xiahou En snickered. “Just because
he let his balls talk him into a scouting mission.”
“Gentlemen.”
Zhang Liao galloped up and brought his horse to a halt. “I have taken the
liberty of positioning the units where they would be best suited for a siege
attempt. We are ready to support our
commander’s efforts.”
“Oh god.”
Xiahou Mao walked his horse up to the rest of his family and watched his cousin
move in for his seduction of Zhen Ji.
“Please tell me he isn’t going to claim her by pissing on her leg.”

Cao Pi
inched his bay stallion closer to the young woman he had been ogling. She was even more stunning when he finally
was close enough to realize her dress was as revealing as they came. He wiped his hand across his mouth to clear
his face of drool and then cleared his throat. “What’s this!” He began and saw
her lift her beautiful dark eyes towards him. “Such beauty….Maiden come with
me, Cao Pi, and I shall show you the world!”
Xxxxxxxxxxxx
The small
crowd of generals watching the scene looked to each other with the same stunned
look. Eventually Xiahou Mao opened his
mouth, “You have got to be kidding me.”
Xiahou En
quickly regained his composure and busted out laughing. “That was…priceless!”
“Maiden,
Cao Pi is here to hump your leg! Please
come hither so I can proceed to defile you.” Xiahou De shook his head. “I’d
rather hear Cao Zhi’s flowery bullshit poems than to watch him make an ass out
of himself in front of everyone. Look
Yuan Xi is laughing at us.”
“It would
appear to be working.” Zhang Liao said as Zhen Ji walked over to take Cao Pi’s
hand.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
“Lord Cao Pi, I have trusted your
words and have come to be at your side.” Zhen Ji bowed slightly to the man that
was currently covering her hand in slobbery kisses.
“You will
not forget it! You have made the right
decision. You shall never leave my side
again!”
Zhen Ji
looked up at her furious husband on the top of the gate. He was screaming and thumping his fists on
the stronghold wall. Yes, Yuan Xi I have chosen to leave you for
a better life. At the very least Cao Pi
will not lock me away in a small castle just so that he will not have to share
me with the world. “I shall assist
your assault forces.”
“Really? Come then, back to our lines. Then you and I can defeat this Yuan Xi and we
can be married.”
“Of course,
my lord.” At the very least I will be in
a better home…right?
“Here, let
me help you onto my horse.”
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
“Incredible….”
Xiahou De shook his head in astonishment.
“God, I
hate flutes…they just make me want to put my head under the foot of a Nanman
elephant.” Xiahou En moaned. “She better be really hot.”
“Wow…from
here it looks like my step-mom is going to have to give up her title as Wei’s
hottest.” Xiahou Mao smirked. “This Zhen Ji is gorgeous and she’s got a nice
slutty dress too.”
Zhang Liao
cocked an eyebrow at the mention of Ling Qi.
He knew she had caused quite a stir in the Wei camp, being the only girl
had a tendency to start men talking, but for her new nephews to suddenly change
their interest was going to devastate her.
They were the only group in camp that had welcomed her with open arms
and she quickly found common ground with them based purely on age. They had made her feel like someone
important, the only ones in Wei to do so, and now they were going to return
with a new obsession. As much as she
pretended like the superficial things weren’t important, he knew she was still
a very self-conscious sixteen year old girl.
Hopefully Xiahou Dun would warm up enough to finally complement her on
something other than her battle prowess, but that was highly doubtful. “Perhaps we can use this to our advantage.”
Liao looked over to Xiahou Yuan.
“Oh?”
“This
defection has put Yuan Xi in a vulnerable position….throwing a fit on top of
his stronghold gate. If you ride forward
and snipe him, I’ll be ready with an all out assault.”
“Take out
the enemy commander and storm the fort.
Excellent strategy, sir.” Xiahou Yuan nodded his approval as he pulled
an arrow out of the quiver and nocked it. He watched Zhang Liao gallop off to his lines
and couldn’t help but appreciate his quick thinking. Xu Huang and Guan
Yu were definitely right, he was an exceptional officer. That was something he was going to have to
pass along to Mengde, someone needed to be promoted
and it definitely wasn’t his easily distracted, ass-kissing son.

“Lord Cao
Cao!” Guo Jia coughed up some phlegm as he sat up in bed. “I am honored by your visit.”
“How are
you? Were the doctors able to help?” Cao sat down next to the old man’s bed and
looked at the man’s shaking hand. He was
thin, pale and weak; more than likely these were his last days.
“I’m
dying..slowly; the worst way. But
perhaps I can help you once more?” Jia looked up at his lord as he reluctantly
put his head back down on the pillow.
“Perhaps.”
Cao played with his goatee, “Recently I have begun to doubt my alliance with
Liu Bei.”
“You see
him as a threat?” Guo Jia nodded. “And rightly so.”
“I see him
as a capable man, one that could easily create an army out of nothing. Even now he has befriended the great warrior
Zhao Yun. He makes the few men that he
has count for at least ten of mine.”
“I agree.”
Jia narrowed his eyes. “But you have not visited me to discuss the admirable
qualities of the Imperial Uncle, have you?
You are contemplating eliminating him as a precaution.”
“This war
will be long and fierce. If every warlord puts in his own bid for emperor….well
it will only take longer to reunite the lands.”
“My lord,”
Guo Jia began to cough and gladly accepted the glass of water that Cao Cao
handed him. “You do not need to validate
your claim to the throne. I support you completely. I also support your idea to end Liu Bei’s
quest before it sidetracks your own. You
are two men of extraordinary ability, and that only means that you will end up
as enemies.”
“Thank
you.”

Lu Ling Qi
listened to the men around the small campfire laugh to themselves. She bit her lip and quietly approached. Here
goes nothing. “Can I join you?”
Ding Jun
looked up as the small group fell silent upon their commander’s arrival. He knew her well enough to understand the
amount of will-power that it had taken to force her to swallow her pride and
join them. “Please do.” He caught Hua
Xi’s look of agitation but ignored him.
“Thank
you.”
“Wine?”
Offered a private.
“Thank you
again.”
“So polite
now.” Hua Xi sneered. “Perhaps the mighty daughter of Lu Bu has been finally
realized she is expendable.”
“We are all expendable, Lieutenant.”
Ling Qi growled.
“Your
family line especially.” Hua Xi mumbled
“I have to
admit, you surprised us all with your formation knowledge this morning.” Ding
Jun kicked Hua Xi, an attempt to keep the younger man’s attitude in check.
“I can’t
take the credit…you executed everything perfectly. Lord Cao was very pleased.” Ling Qi smiled as
the handsome young private returned with a cup of wine.
“That was
never in question. We are professional
soldiers.” Hua Xi replied with a tone of disgust.
“Cousin,
you seriously need to pull the speed scroll out of your ass.” The young private
spoke up.
“Captain,
you haven’t met Hua Gui have you? He is
Xi’s younger and more amiable cousin.”
“Not that
you would ever stoop so low as to talk to a meager private.” Hua Xi snorted.
Ding Jun kicked him again. Stupid
bastard. “He joined us before Xia Pi and I might add has a very promising
future.”
“Unless
someone takes a dislike to him simply because of his surname.” Hua Xi grumbled.
Hua Gui
shrugged and looked up at his commander with a bright youthful smile. “Nice to
meet you. My cousin is just a bitter
asshole sometimes, please don’t execute him.
Unless you want to give me his job that is.”
Ling Qi
smiled back. The kid was probably only
fifteen and he still had that naïve outlook that she used to have. She smiled sweetly and looked at Hua Xi, “As long as he keeps his comments to small friendly
gatherings, I couldn’t care less what he thinks of me. However, if your resentment begins to
transform into insubordination I will relieve you of both your head and job.”
“I get the
feeling you’re the only one here dissatisfied with our new lord. Your loyalty is the first that will come into
question.” Hua Xi looked up at her disinterested face and clenched his jaw.
“Perhaps,” Ding Jun jumped in,
“Captain Lu would have a better take on Hua Gui’s dilemma.”
“Oh thank
god.” The boy huffed. “I need help!”
“What’s
wrong?” Ling Qi ignored Hua Xi’s nasty glare and looked at the young man.
“There’s a
bodyguard I’m trying to court…umm..Himiko.
But I’m not good with romance.”
“He gave
her a meat bun.” Ding Jun explained. “She took it and walked away.”
“Why don’t
you get her something armor related to show you want to keep her safe?” Ling Qi
asked.
“Wait! Let
me write this down.”
“Something
girly, like a hair clip, to show you think of her as a woman.”
“Oh this is
great.” Hua Gui jotted the ideas down.
“What else?”
“Don’t
recite bad poetry. Someone once told me
I was a ‘delicate flower growing in the mists of an abandoned garden.’ Whatever
the hell that means.”
“You really
are a piece of work.” Hua Xi threw his wine into the fire and stormed off.
“What did I
do?” she gave a pleading look to Ding Jun.
“Well
considering his reaction…..ummm.. do you recall who told you that?”
“Actually,
“Hua Gui said thoughtfully. “That sounds like something I heard before.”
“Maybe from
Hua Xiong?” Ding Jun asked and watched the two youngsters react to the
realization. Hua Gui simply snickered,
amused by someone irritating his resentful cousin, but Lu Ling Qi frowned and closed her
eyes. Poor child, she’ll never be able to win him over.
“Okay,
Captain, I’m ready for more suggestions.”
Make a copy for my husband while you’re at
it. “Tell her she’s beautiful in front of the other bodyguards. Never underestimate a woman’s desire to make
other women jealous.”
