Er smiled wide at his commands and saluted the man. Without words he left the palace and ordered the men to gather all supplies needed. They would arrive soon at their destination, and knowing his leader was soon behind, he had no worries of victory not being achieved. Quickly things preparations were finished and the sails were raised guiding the vessels to their destiny.

As Marcus stood facing though somewhat warily towards the direction of the warlord, a smile soon appeared as he heard the words that he was hoping to hear. The roman bowed in a more acceptencing way then when he first arrived and as he was getting ready to speak with the warlord of another matter he was soon interrupted by others who wished an aduience with him. Marcus without a saying a word moves to his left so he will not disturb the guests, however, the young roman is disturbed by the matter in which he wanted to discuss with the warlord.
Waiting quietly to the side Marcus ponders if he should speak with the warlord of the troubled thoughts, yet the roman just slowly nods as he agrees to just forget the matter and anyways the young scipio would like to see how well a chinese army can hold against a roman army. At that final thought going through his mind a small chuckle releases itself from the roman, yet the chuckle doesnt last as he can see by the entery of another general and by his words that the warlord will be busy for quite a while.
Frowning the roman makes a motion to move towards the doorway so he will be able to make his leave of the palace but he stops himself as he hears the words of the warlord. Turning to face the warlord Marcus looks at the man and as he does he slams his right hand across his chest before speaking.
"Understood! and dont worry that our conversation was cut short. I do believe we will get the chance to speak again. However, i have one question for you, I would like to know the name of the man that i will most likely give my life for?
Yet another thought comes to the mind of the roman as he awaits a response of the warlord, "I am glad i took the oppurtunity to learn this language when i was still in the academy, though i am probably speaking it in a bad accent.", the last few words that went through his mind made him smile though the smile wasnt physically it was more mentally and it was more of an amused smile in which even the young roman is surprised that he is hear in these far distant land.

Xilang looked at this new arrival.
"Ah, just what we need! Someone skilled in naval combat. Tell me, comrade, what is your name?"

Xilang pondered for a moment.
"Well, Comrade Zhang, where is it you hail from? I would like to know what lakes and rivers you have sailed."

Xilang smiled genially.
"You and I are of one mind. With ones such as you with me, the people will surely be saved much hardship."

Zhang Xi looked into the eyes of his new master. 'He dosnt look to be a evil tyrant...then again they never do...'
My lord, I wish to know what you think the fate of the Han will be?

Xilang raised an eyebrow. "An interesting question indeed..." he thought.
"The Han is weak now, but with men like the noble Yuan Shu and the honorable Liu Bei bringing order to the chaotic realm, it will surely be prospering once again."

Unless evil men try to tear it all apart. Many men threaten the peace, we must be ready. How many men strong are the Si forces?

Xilang thought for a moment.
"Our armies number only in the thousands, because we have only recently been established, but with our acquisition of Jian Ye, we should begin to rapidly gain new recruits."

Fools...
Georg Prime walked into the throne room. he had been listening in on the conversation taking place between the two men.
"The Han is nothing more than a stagnant beast, waiting for the first true loyalist to take it's life.. It lives only because a few loyalist fools hang onto it's name. Even the Roman Legions have arrived to demolish the remnants of the Dynasty. The Sassasand are here as well, seeking the same goals. Hell, the Han is even granting land to PIRATES of all things. The Han is in the hands of fools and for that it should be put out of it's misery so something new can take it's place."
Not once did Georg look into the eyes of either man. He just simply walked by and took his place just slightly behind his lord. He had fresh robes on, and he had washed since the attack.
Georg leaned down to whisper into Shang's ear.
"Next time my Lord... Let me know when you have visitors... At a time like this any man could be an assassin. Myself included... Just keep that in mind... I am a mercenary after all... Don't put blind faith in any one."
Georg straightened up again and looked at the new comer. Georg Prime's hand went to his sword and stayed there.

Wei Yan had been Kingdomless long enough. He was now in search of somewhere or someone he could call "Lord" with the highest respect. Riding toward Xia Pi it had been a long treck from Jiangling and he only wished to stay here long enough to talk to the lord he had heard a few men talking about back at the Gate of Jiangling. Zhou Tan rode beside him, silent and aware of everything around him.
Stopping before the gaurds he dismounted his horse and looked at the gaurds with the best "nice" face he could muster. Soon after Yan dismounted so did Tan who stood sternly beside the horses as Yan motioned for him to do. Yan looked threatening enough as is, he didn't need Tan making him look worse.
"Me...Come...In...Peace...Let...Pass...?" he asked and waited for their nod even though they were a little weary when Yan took "Sinner" from the side of the horse. Yan shook his head and smiled. "No...Fight...Just...Protection" he said reassuringly even though he knew his words were hopelessly useless.
Entering into the caslte he made his way to the throne room and stood before the ruler. Looking slightly young Yan was already rethinking this man.
"I..Wei Yan.." he said resting "Sinner" on his shoulder and touching his chest with his free hand. "Me...Want....To...Know...Your..." He fumbled the next word in his mouth and finally it fell from his lips unsurely "Ambitions.."
