Chapter 8
Marching Home
“Mount up.” Dian Wei led a raggedy
old gelding over to Dun’s wife.
“What’s
your problem?” she sneered.
“I don’t
like women, at all.”
“Well there
must be some mighty uncomfortable men in this camp then.” She swung into the
saddle.
Dian Wei
kept walking and made it about twenty strides before he got her insult. “You’ll pay for that.” He snapped, but she
was already gone, trotting over to her husband.
“Ready?”
She nodded to Dun.
“You two
are just such a nice couple.” Yuan smiled.
“Are you
always like this?” Ling asked annoyed
with the happy man.
“Ling this
is my brother Yuan. He’s my younger
brother so I beat on him a lot when we were kids….explains his problem.”
“Not being
angry and vicious to everyone is not a problem Dun.” Yuan replied.
“Yes, it
is.” Ling took her husband’s side not out of duty, but simply because she
believed the same thing he did. Get out
of the way or die. She sat back in the
saddle and looked off at the gate. Was
he still out there?
“Happy to
have you as a sister-in-law.” Yuan muttered and watched Dun fidget with his
handkerchief again. The eye was really
irritating him today, and the dust and grime from the ride to Xu Chang wasn’t
going to help. “You know you could stay
here for a few days, and catch up later.”
“No.” Dun
pushed by him angrily and jumped into the saddle. He kicked his horse into a trot and rode
over to Cao Cao.
“Why do you
do that?” Ling asked, “You know he’s going to take offense at such a
suggestion.”
“I have to
try…” Yuan explained. ”He doesn’t take care of himself.”
“That is my
job now.” Ling moved her nag over to Dun.
“Ready to
move out?” Cao looked to his cousin and watched him nod.
The troops
marched through the stone gate of Xia Pi and out into the open field, and Ling
saw many of them look up at the gate as they walked under it. He was
still there. She took a deep breath
and urged the chestnut onward, it had to happen sometime. Cao and Dun were discussing the weather and
the estimated date of their arrival in Xu Chang. Yuan began to tell a story about the Yellow
Turban rebellion to Xu Huang and Dian Wei stared at her smiling, daring her to
turn around. Finally she gave in and
looked back. Hanging from the top of the
gate, by butchering hooks through the Achilles tendons, was Lu Bu. His body was stripped of everything, armor,
clothes, head and finally skin. The
fires had done a good job of roasting that off.
His head was untouched on a spear on the top of the gate, next to the
Imperial flag. She felt her stomach turn….I’m sorry daddy.
Dun turned around when he heard
his bodyguards protest. Ling had brought
her horse to a halt and was staring back to Xia Pi. Some soldiers had lowered Lu Bu’s body down
with a rope and men were taking turns pissing on it. He looked over at Cao who furrowed his
eyebrows, but said nothing. Ling began
to turn her horse around.
“My lady…”
Sima Shi protested, but got his face kicked in by the woman’s foot. She grabbed his spear and slapped the nag’s
rump with it and galloped back to the fortress.
Dian Wei
smirked, “I’ll go get her.” He moved his well bred horse past his lord.
“No.” Dun
stopped him. “I will. She’s my fucking problem.” He turned back and galloped after her. She had already made it back to the gate and
was attacking the troops. One colonel
unseated her and she back flipped herself out of the saddle.
“You dare
incur the wrath of Lu Ling Qi?” She musoued and took out most of the men
leaving the Colonel standing there dumbfounded. She slammed the spear into the
ground and kicked the man, past her father’s dangling body, and into the
wall. More soldiers came over to
investigate, Liu Bei’s soldiers.
Guan Yu
galloped up on Red Hare and demanded, “What the hell is going on here?”
“None of
your concern.” She swung at him and he cracked her inferior spear in half with
the Blue Moon Dragon.
Dun
galloped up and put himself between the future Shu officer and his wife.
“ENOUGH!” he barked.
Ling held
the two pieces of spear in her hands and refocused on the Colonel. “Not before you meet your maker.”
“NO!” Dun
pointed the Kirin Fang at her. “That is an order Ling.”
Ling huffed
and tossed the wooden sticks aside. “We’ll settle this another time, boy.”
“You will
not.” Dun pulled her into the saddle in front of him. “Ling, meet Colonel Xiahou Mao, my son.”
“Excuse
me?” She looked back at him and to the young man rubbing his head from the
impact of hitting the stone wall. Dun wrapped his arm around her waist.
“Mao, this
is Lu Ling Qi, your new step-mother.”
“Nice meeting
you.” Mao waved meekly.
Guan Yu
watched curiously and looked over at the dangling body of the traitor Lu
Bu. He could only imagine his own rage
if that was someone he cared about. He
watched as Dun rode back to the waiting Wei officers with his wife riding in
front of him. She looked back to the
body, then to him. Guan Yu gave her a
sorry sympathetic look, but got a cold menacing stare in return. With a shake of his head he turned to his
troops. “Let’s go home boys.”

Ling stared
at the dusty road as she sat in front of her husband and trotted along after
Cao Cao. The situation was completely
humiliating, a point not missed by the asshole known as Dian Wei. She was being held in place by Dun’s forearm,
a forearm that she had to say was quite impressive in its muscular
definition. Then there was the fact that
Cao Cao was riding her horse….bastard.
Overall she felt like a child that had run away from home. She felt like shit until she saw Zhang Liao’s
gentle eyes. She gave him a brief smile
before she was distracted by Cao Cao.
“Let’s camp
here for the night.” Cao announced and slid out of the saddle.
Dun brought
his horse to a halt and watched his wife jump down. “Set up a tent, can you do that without
attacking any family members?”
Ling gave
him the finger and watched him laugh and ride back down the lines. She turned back to Cao Cao who was watching
her intently. “What the fuck are you
looking at?”
“Watch it.”
Dian Wei growled still on his horse’s back.
“Shouldn’t
you be off marking trees?”
“I hope he
beats you tonight and lets me watch.” Wei licked his lips.
“Well if
you’d like to watch the finer points of sex then feel free to come along and
beat yourself off.” Ling stared up into Dian Wei’s heartless eyes and watched a
smile touch his lips.
“You look
like you want a piece of the Coming Evil.” Wei stepped up to the woman and
looked her over. Too bad Dun made her
his wife, if she was a concubine then he could have very well have asked to
borrow her. Probably wouldn’t have
returned her in one piece….but…
Ling busted
out laughing. “Coming evil? Is that
honestly what you call yourself? That’s
as bad as Prime Minister of the former
Han. A string of words that hold little
value and fail to impress.”
Dian Wei
began to lift his axe and growled, “You may be Dun’s wife but that doesn’t mean
anything, even to your husband.”
“Go ahead.”
Ling stepped forward. “Take a swing.
Then I’ll take that oversized hatchet and take your fat bald head off
and shove it up your already stretched ass.”
“Enough.”
Cao Cao stepped between them and put his hand on Dian Wei chest to calm the
overanxious lad down.
“Ohhh….bet
that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy.” Ling looked at Cao’s hand and back
into Wei’s anger contorted face.
“I said
enough.” Cao pointed his finger into Ling’s face. “The only reason you are still alive is
because my cousin likes you, but when that wears off you had better hope that
Dun takes your life. Your lack of
respect for authority is disgraceful.
Only a common whore would address high ranking officers with such
disregard….and that is exactly how this camp will treat you when Dun’s
amusement fades.”
“You want
respect, earn it like everyone else. Otherwise, don’t waste my time with your
lectures.” Ling chomped her teeth at his outstretched finger and watched rage
begin to kindle in his eyes.
“Fucking
woman! Can’t you just do as you’re
told!” Dun trotted up and dismounted. He
stopped and watch his lord struggle with his anger but then back off and
quickly swing into the saddle.
“I suggest
you gag her for the rest of the trip if you intend to keep her that long.” Cao
kicked Firestorm in the ribs harshly and the colt reared, not willing to leave
his master. Cao agitated enough slapped
the colt with the reins and took off down the road at full gallop.
“Later
sweetheart.” Wei smiled and rested his axe over his shoulder as he found his
own mount and chased after his furious lord.
“Your
family has this incredible knack of pissing off the wrong people.” Dun pointed
to a spot next to the river. “I said put the tent there, why don’t I see it?”
“Obviously
because your imagination is lacking.” Ling pushed by him on her way to setting
up the much desired tent. She was
stopped by his rough grip on her arm.
“You have
miscalculated your worth. Let me remind
you that you are still worth nothing to me or this army. Do what you’re told.”
“Yes
master.” Ling hissed mockingly.
“Make up
your mind. Do you want to join your
daddy or get a second chance? Think
about it…while you set up the tent.”
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Cao Cao
cleaned off his plate and set it down.
He looked around at the other campfires that were scattered around
them. The closest one was where their
kids were happily chatting about everything from the mythical ice orb to the
Qiaos. Cao Pi was leading the discussion
with his cousins Xiahou De and En, Yuan’s two boys, and Xiahou Mao listening
with interest as Pi added his colorful commentary. The most recent addition, Lu Ling Qi, was
adding her vibrant laughter to the gathering.
It finally struck Cao, she was still a young girl. “Dun, you married a girl half your age…you
dirty old man.”
“She’s
still older than those Qiaos and not as naïve as you think.” Dun replied.
Cao sat
back and rested his hands on his knees.
Dun probably didn’t even realize how quickly he had defended her, and if
Cao was dumb enough to point it out his cousin would just say he was stating
fact. Yuan was right. Dun was really hung up on her….something that
was difficult to comprehend. “Alright
Dun, what are you going to do with her?”
“Well,” Dun
ate a fried wonton. “I thought I’d introduce her to taking it on all fours
tonight…”
“That’s not
what I meant.” Cao huffed.
“I
recruited you an officer, Mengde. If you
decide to pursue that, well it’s up to you.
You’re the commander here.”
Cao
switched his attention back to the campfire where En was whispering something
in Ling’s ear. Pi instinctively knew it
was something embarrassing from his childhood and tackled his cousin before he
could continue. The rest of the ‘kids’
simply laughed and watched the two wrestle.
“She wanted to kill me and you want me to give her a commission?”
“You killed
her father, personally. You had to know
that was coming. Besides, you’re the
dumbass that gave her your sword.”
“Thanks for
your concern.”
“Look, I
don’t know what she was thinking and honestly I don’t care. If you want her to join us, then use your
diplomatic skills for something other than getting a woman into bed.”
Cao had to
think about it. As outrageous as the
notion was, Dun never failed him on recruiting exceptional talent. His last find, Dian Wei, had proven to be one
of the best officers he could have ever hoped to have under him. If Dun thought so highly about this girl that
he married her and suggested she join them, then he needed to try. He already had a healthy respect for her, she
could fight, but the overpowering desire to ensure Dun’s happiness was what finalized
his decision. If he accepted her into
their army than she would be more invested in everything, including her
husband. Then maybe he could finally
find out what had stopped her from making an attempt on his life. He let his eyes wander further to the left where
a lone pair of officers were talking quietly at a
small fire. The conspirators had kept to
themselves since their defection, something that unsettled him. “I think that we might want to think about
ridding ourselves of Guo Si and Li Jue.
They have already shown that their loyalties are too easily swayed.”
Dun looked
up at the two men in question and took another bite of his duck leg. After he finished chewing he looked over to
his right and shouted. “Ling! Come here.”
Ling stood
and looked down at Mao, “Does he do that to you too?”
“Yup,
welcome to the family.” Mao smiled. He
really liked Ling, perhaps a bit too much.
He brushed off the thoughts as she walked away to see what his father
wanted.
“Mao, your
new mom is hot.” En watched her ass as she walked. More women needed to wear shorts.
“Trust me,
I’ve noticed.” Mao rubbed his face. “And
she’s two years younger than me….and my dad isn’t shy about discussing his
sexual experiences…and I can’t stop thinking about her kicking my ass. I’m a pervert.”
“So you
wanted to be spoils of war, huh?” De
asked with a nudge.
“Need I
remind you that she is your aunt?” Mao asked. “You are all just as bad.”
Ling braced
herself for what she figured to be a long drawn out lecture on why you don’t
insult Cao Cao. Or her execution. Only thing was that Cao Cao was watching her
with a thoughtful look, not one of hate.
“You want me to feed you?”
Dun didn’t
look up, but searched for another piece of duck. “Guo Si and Li Jue were the ones that
betrayed your father.”
Cao raised
his eyebrows, he wasn’t expecting this.
He looked back at Ling and saw the fire dance in her eyes before she
turned to look at the two men. Her whole
body tensed and then she began her march over to the culprits. Cao watched with interest as the defectors
grew quiet and Guo Si stood up. The man
was scared, no terrified, and he was getting ready to run away from the
approaching female. Without pausing,
Ling grabbed a medium sized branch out of the fire. The far end of the stick flaked away a bit to
reveal a glowing hot tip, then she spun the stick around in her hand so that
she could stab with it. And that was
exactly what she did.
Li Jue
watched, in shocked horror, as Ling plunged the wooden poker through Guo Si’s abdomen
and then through his back. Si screeched
and instantly tried to grasp the stick and pull it out but Ling only gave it a
sharp twist and shoved it in further.
Now the small barbs that used to be branches were lodged inside Si’s
abdominal cavity, his feeble attempts to remove it would only cause him more
pain. As Si hit his knees clenching at
his stomach, Ling turned her gaze upon him.
Jue didn’t move, he knew it would only piss her off. “If I were to explain…”
“You’ve be
wasting your breath. Save it, I want to
hear you scream.” Ling grabbed Si’s sword and unsheathed it.
“Senselessly
killing people; just like your father. He
must be so proud.”
“Are you
trying to piss me off so I kill you faster?
Hmmmm? Now I thought you’d have
enough respect for me to know that wouldn’t work.”
“I am only
buying time until your new husband comes to whip the skin off you for your
little outburst.”
“But he’s
the one who ordered your execution.” Ling poked him gently in the ribs to prod
him into fighting. “So I bet that I’m going
to be rewarded tonight for my little ‘outburst’. And believe me when I tell you he knows how
to make me happy.”
“How
satisfying it must be to compound the defeat of your father with the defiling
of his daughter. All his sexual
conquests are simply a way of humiliating your precious daddy’s memories, or
have you not figured that out yet? Or
maybe you turned out more like Diao Chan than we all realized, fucked by every
man in China
and still looking for more.”
Poor Chan,
she was going to go down in history as being the biggest slut in the three
kingdoms when she didn’t deserve the reputation at all. At least she was happy now….hopefully with Lu
Bu. “You just want me to loose my temper
and…” Guo Si grabbed her leg and began pleading, wiping his warm blood all over
her exposed leg. Ling kicked him off and
he landed on his back, pushing the stick back through its original puncture
hole. The man screamed some more and
thrashed around a bit. “Look, get up and try and act like a man for once.”
“I will loose
to you either way. You do not like to
play with the defenseless, so I am giving you one option. Go ahead and behead me.”
“No. Chen Gong chose to be executed in that
manner, and I do not believe you to be worth of it. At least he remained loyal to the end.”
“Ah…you
mean unlike you and General Zhang.” Jue watched Si stop his thrashing; the
man’s life had finally drained away and given him a release from the horrible
death.
“I do have
a lot more control than my father, so perhaps you would like to stop wasting my
time.”
“And I have
more patience than you; we shall see who wins this standoff.”
“Or…” Ling
smiled wickedly. She looked Jue square in the eye as she let a sharp whistle
escape from her lips.
Jue looked
towards the campfire where Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun were watching with
interest. Both men had turned to look
behind them as the red stud colt that had been recently acquired by Cao Cao
reared and struck out at the bodyguard that was holding his reins. The man jumped out of the way and Firestorm
galloped over to his true master and nudged her face affectionately. Jue began to shake; his quick death was not
going to come.
“Hey
Storm.” Ling scratched his withers with her barely existent nails and took a
strap off the bedroll. Quickly she
turned to Jue and thrust her sword through his arm to pin him to the log he was
sitting on. Instinctively the man turned
his attention to the weapon while he screamed and gave Ling the opportunity to
loop the strap around his foot. Without
wasting anytime she tied the other end to the stirrup and smiled. “Let’s go for a run.”
Firestorm
picked his head up and flickered his ear in the direction of the frantic man.
Happy to have his rightful owner in the saddle he lurched forward, noting the
slight resistance and ripping sound that came from the distressed man. Not particularly bothered by it he quickly
got up to full speed and tore down the road towards the rear guard. Hopefully that asshole that had smacked his
tender flanks was watching how a real horseman could work with him. He was determined to put on one hell of a
show so that he could win back his rider, the only one he wanted. If this didn’t work he was determined to go
on a hunger strike, certainly that nasty old lord wouldn’t want him to starve
to death.
Dun tossed
the duck leg in the fire, “Shit, just imagine what she’s got planned for you.”
“Not
funny.” Cao reached over for a piece of duck before Dun ate the whole thing.
“Well I’m
going to check on the men and head to bed.
When she returns your horse, tell her to meet me there.” Dun stood and
wiped his hands off on his tunic. “If
there is a tent to go home to….”
